ENGINEERS TO
RESIST WAGE CUT
Brotherhood of Locomotive
Engineers Would Hold
Conference.
TO CONSULT WITH ROADS.
ENGINEERS FEEL THAT THEY
HAVE ALREADY BORNE THEIR
SHARE OF THE BURDEN AS
EARNINGS HAVE DECREASED.

Cincinnati, o., Feb. pa general
conference with representatives Of II
southern railroads has been asked by
the national officers of the Brother
hood Of Locomotive Engineers, to con-
slider the proposal to cut wages on
March 1, according to an announce
ment made here. The proposition was
submitted to General Manager Horace
Baker of the Queen & Crescent lin a
by Assistant Grand Chief Burgess of
Atlanta, who is here, comforting with
the officers of the Engineers Brother
hood on that system. Mr.. Burgess
said:
THE engineers feel that they hav9
already borne their share Of the bur.
den. The earning capacity has been
decreased by a reduced mileage, upon
which basis they are paid, and they
do not feel that they should be sub
jected to an additional reduction in
the scale, such as a 10 per cent cut
would create.
I'VE have put it up to the II south
ern roads in this manner, and ask for
the general conference in order to
show the justice of our contention or
recognizing the justice of the claims
Of the management that such cut is
necessary If We are wrong then We
are willing TO negotiate for an equit
able revision"

WATERWAYS AGITATION
PRODUCING NO INTEREST
ConqresSmen Do Not Become
Enthused.

Washington, D. c., Feb. 22.-The
great movement for improvement of
internal waterways it is said. has pro-
duced surprisingly small results in act
ual effective pressure on congress for
the scheme of an annual appropriation
of S5O,000.OO0. Members of the house
committee say they have had small oc-
casion to note that public opinion is
any more insistent than ever. They
are working away on the preliminaries.
and there is d desire to have a small
bill passed in order to establish the
precedent of annual instead OF bienni-
al appropriation measures.

Present Time.
C. G. CONN THE LATEST
FAMOUS BAND INSTRUMENT
MANUFACTURER SAYS HE WILL
ACCEPT NoMINATIoN-WHY so
MANY ANNOUNCEMENTS

Evidently the democrats are in a
very hopeful frame of mind in Indi-
ana, judging by the anxiety that some
of the big ones have to be governor of
this great commonwealth. The latest
aspirant for the gubernatorial nomina-
tion is Charles G. Conn, of Elkhart,
who is having a boom just now At
least five men are mentioned in this
race at the present time. They are
the Rev. T. Fl. Kuhn. of Richmond; L.
Ert Slack. of Franklin: Charles G..
Conn. Elkhart: Samuel Ralston of Leb-
anon, and c. X. Mccullough of Ander-
son.
A dispatch from Elkhart tells of the
Conn boom as follows
A secret meeting of Elkhart county
democrats. attended by forty persons
was held at the Hotel BuckIen. Satur-
day, at which a boom was launched
for Charles Girard Conn, for the Dem.
Ocratic nomination for governor. A
committee was sent to Conn, who said
he would make the race and enter the
canvass with vigoT if nominated.
Conn is just sixty-four years old. and
has served as mayor. as state legislator
aud as congressman in 1S93-'95. In
1894 he was renominated. but then
made, his acceptance conditional on the
embodiment in the platform of certain
ideas. which the democratic organiza-
ton did not wish to adopt, and Lew
ellen Wauner. of Goshen, was substi-
tuted. He was defeated.
Conn is big manufacturer of band
instruments and owner of the Elkhart
Daily Truth. Some months ago
Conn's paper contained signed state.
ment that he would not accept the
nomination on silver platter.

Washington, D. C.. Feb. 22.-The con-

out by the law makers who control the
federal purse strings is having most
dispiriting effect on the members OF

on appropriations is especially bearing
the market by declaring that there
will be no luxuries passed around at
this session and that every money bill
will be cut to the very core.

PURE FOOD LAW

Washington, D. G., Feb. 1.-THE
pure food law is perhaps the most i'm
portant piece Of federal liquor legis-
lation ever enacted. While this Law
was aimed at all sorts OF authorizations.
it was especially directed to the retail
liquor dealer,
In thousaads of saloons throughout
the country, a drink OF real whiskey
was never sold. Adulterants were
much cheaper and the adulterated
compound tasted better to the average
drinker than the straight whiskey.
But since the pure food Law went into
operation. il nnust be labeled true 10
