hts first run for congress. hench-
man Of his opponent met an old min

along the road on his old horse and
hailed him with who are you going

man. Il thought l should give Arson a
vote. Arson has good timber in him,

you can vote for him! Don't you
know he is Universalist? He doesn't

GETS SEVERE TEST.
WORK OF "sREAkINa IN" NEW
LOCOMOTIVE.
Before Being Put Into Actual Service
1t Is Tried First In the Yards
and Later Sent Out on Regu.
lar Runs,

Few persons outside the realm of
the operating department of a rail-
road know anything of the Outlines
vexatious peculiarities and not infre-
quently seeming intelligent capers of
a locomotive when being broke" to
its mission in the world. Each new
engine must undergo set training
or test before it is put into actual serv-
ice, and each locomotive which has
gone through the shops for repairs is
given certain working out before it
is returned to it's erstwhile duties.
Some locomotive manufacturing
companies complete their engines
ready for actual service before send
ing them out, others ship them to the
destination in partial Touchdown
state and they are completed in the
shops of the road to which they are
delivered.
When a new engine is taken into {,
shop it is turned over to a mechanic
whose duty it is to fit it up and make
all connections and adjustments of
the interior mechanism. This COM
pleted, the engine is turned over to a
fireman, who steanls it up and blows
1t OF III order to remove any grease
that might have accumulated in the
boiler or any such foreign substance
as might cause boiler to foam"
While in service. The engine is then
turned over to an engineer, whose
duty it is to ''break" it in. The engine
is steamed up again, and if it will run
is taken for little tryout about the
yard.
The science of locomotive building
has been developed to such fine
point that there is little danger now
of an engine "bucking" on it's first
trial. The main feature in the test
Is to see that there is no heating in
the journals or rod brasses. II there
is no heating the engine is run about
the yards for about half day and
the steam is again blown from the
boiler.
The engine is then steamed up and
taken for long run on the main line
If during this test there are no capers
cut the engine is sent out for it's first
trip with about 500 tons to draw. If
1T runs all right the tonnage is gradu-
ally increased to $50 tons. The ton.
mage depends greatly upon the size of
the engine. The average engine of
to-day will draw about $50 tons on a
mountainous road and from 1900 to
1900 tons over level haul. The test
speed is from one to 20 miles an hour
Heating is one of the principal dis
eases of an engine, and it is this fea-
ture the engineer looks to more than
anything else. The mechanical sense
of the engineer is so developed that he
can detect the least defect about his
engine.
John Miller, the locomotive buster"
for the Nashville, Chattanooga & St.
Louis Railroad company, breaks on
an average 20 engines each month.
He has been breaking engines for this
company for the last five years.

Deputy Sheriff Singleton Makes Ina
portant Arrest Tuesday Night.

Tuesday night Deputy Sheriff Jno.
Singleton made an important arrest,
and one which it is hoped will lead to
the cleaning out of the gang of petty
thieves who have been SO successfully
plying their trade TOR some time past,
10 thi' section.
About ten days ago freight car
standing On the S. 2. track, was brOk-
en- into and a considerable amount of
merchandise was stolen from it. Mr..
Singleton has been working on the
case. Considerable of the goods were
found under the old Newman saloon
building. Suspicion pointed to Rob
ert Ryther, who was arrested and put
in jail, by Mr.. Singleton about nine
O'Clock Tuesday evening. During the
evening Ryther admitted to the deputy
that he had participated in the rob-
Der, and told where portion of the
goods mad been hidden. He was TAX
en- to Lake Charles on No. 5, Wednes-
day.
Young Ryther, who is not quite
ninteen years old, is we'll known here
in Welsh, having lived here the most
OF his life. He is q son of Geo. w.
Ryther, who is contractor and build
err, who lived in Welsh for several
years and built several OF the finest
houses in the city. During the past
three or four years Mr.. Rvther has
been in the Panama district and in
New ORLEANS, leaving his sons, Rob-
ert and EDDIE, younger brother,
here in Welsh, to look after them
selves to a large extent. Both the
boys have been in trouble of a minor
nature, several times before, but have
gotten off easy on account of their
youthfulness, but appearances are de.
cidedly against the boy this time. In
a conversation this morning he said
he expected to plead guilty and ask
for the leniency of the court.

TO RICE FARMERS:

Do you want to raise big crop of
rice? If you do, you must have water.
If you fail to get water, you will have
the expense, and not the profit: so you
had better be sure of YOUR pump by
putting on the Monger Self Contained
Attachment, 1t matters not how good
your we'll is, you will fail without
pump. Ask those who have used this
system and see what they say for it.
Not one is dissatisfied with it. You
can find nothing better. A breakdown
may cost you the price of a Monger
Attachment, to say nothing about the
loss you will sustain on your crop by
lack of water while you are having
your pump repaired. l have heard
farmers say they had lost one thou
sand dollars by single breakdown
of pump. r. r. Monger.

A. Sonnier Home, Little the Worse for
Frightful Injuries.

The many friends of A. Sonnier,
who was so seriously injured at the
Jennings oil field short time ago by
the explosion of boiler, are glad to
see him back again. Mr.. Sonnier's
injuries and practical recovery, is al
most miraculous. His injury was in
hicted by an iron bolt head which
was driven into his cheek just below
the left eve and lodged back of the
eye, forcing the eyeball out of it's
socket, He says of his injuries:
81 knew | was terribly injured, but
| made up nv mind to make the best
fight for life that | could. | tried to
stop tue bleeding from my head, but
when help arrived the men did not be-
lieve | would reach Jennings alive.

put on the train that evening and TAX

road men held the train at Morgan
City for thirty minutes in order to get

fuence OF chloroform for four hours.

sit up in bed"
Mr., Sonnier has little trace of his
frightful injury, even the eye which
was forced from its socket having
been replaced by the physicians and
his sight being little impaired.

Miscreants Steal Signal Lanterns From
Side Walk Excavations.

Saturday night unknown miscreants
stole the lanterns that Mr.. Barnett
had put up as danger signals at differ.
ent points in the city where he has
been tearing up the walks and making
excavations for new ones that are be-
ing put down. While the actual
value Of the property stolen is but
slight yet the offense cannot be measur-
ed by that consideration. The mag
nitude of the offense lays in the fact
that these lanterns were put out to
warn the public of the dangerous
condition OF the walks. And by their
removal the life and limb of pedest.
rians became greatly endangered. So
serious is this crime considered that
the law provides q maximum penelty
of ten years in the Penitentary for it.
