MOVEMENT Is ALARMING.
Special Meeting Called to Stop Traffic
in Empty Cars.

Chicago, Jan. 31.-A special meeting
of the American Railway association
has been called for February for the
purpose Of adopting measures to stop
the tremendous loss occasioned by the
present movement of emnty cars on the
railroads of the country, 1t Is the first
special meeting in the history of the
association, and the emergency is re-
garded as great It Is stated that since
the falling off of traffic began several
million dollars have been wasted by
the railroads in their efforts to send the
cars Of other railroads home and
thereby escape the penalty Of so cents
day for the use of foreign car.
This penalty was imposed by the asso-
citation less than one year ago to ac-
complish the very thing which the
railroads are now anxious to stop.
At the time that the so cent penalty
was imposed, however. the railroads
were more than $50. 600 cars short OF
the number required to take care of
the traffic offered. Now the situation
has so materially changed that there
are at least $4,000 idle freight cars
in the United States and no road de-
sires the speedy return of its equip
ment It is stated that fully one-hfth
of the entire freight car movement re-
Gently has been that of empty cars be-
ing hurried to the owning or home
roads.

COLD WEATHER FACTS.
Records That May Especially Interest
the Reminiscent Inhabitant.

If the sun always shone, we should
never go to bed; sleep would not have
been developed. It is true, nocturnal
animals sleep and wake just as much
as diurnal ones; and a drowsy owl,
blinking and noddfng in the light of
daytime. is a familiar object. But,
then, all such animals are themselves
descendants of creatures which were
once for many years diurnal. The
habit itself, viewed abstractly, is one
which could never have arisen except
from the regular alienation of light
and darkness.
There is no particular reason why
we or any other animals should rest on
an average about eight or nine hours
out of every twenty-four, save for the
fact that eight hours is about the aver
age time during which there is an
absence of light in which the animal
might get about with comfort. If
there are any animals in Mars, We
and wake alternately for a period
which would De entirely determined
by the duration of day and night in
their own planet.
Observe, too. that this most funda-
mental distinction due to day and
night is wholly relative to the sense
Of sight, and can affect only those
types of life which are not sufficiently
high to have evolved for themselves
eyes.

for their growth upon the chemical
action of rays of sunlight that fall
upon their surface, have an equally
wide distinction of day functions and
night functions with the highest ami
mails; they eat and digest in the light
| and grow or repair themselves through
the hours of darkness.
But the lowest of animals have no
such marked division of nocturnal and
diurna1 habits; with ceaseless indus
try they roll through the waters by
day and night alike, seeking by touch
alone whom or what they may devouI
| in their native element. If they resi-
occasionally for digestion and repair

hours or oven days together. If dried

| If you moisten them once more, they
start at once on their travels. In any
other words, they have no distinc
periodictty of their own
But as soon as eyes are evolved, anC
in proportion to the perfection an6

begin to divide their lives markedly
into two main portions, a waking ane

Fourteen Per Cent of Rolling Stock Is

The current number of the Railway
Age says:
In the Railway Age for January II
the figures on car surplusages and

can Railway association, were cited.
showing that the net shortage OF
S5,811 cars, existing on october 80,
formed to a net surplus Of 206, 1855
cars. At that time 1t was estimated
from the returns SO far received con-
cerning the conditions obtaining on
January 5. that there would be a sur
plus on that date Of about 80 per cent
greater than on December "a. More
complete returns as Of January 8 show
that this estimate was entirely too
conservative, as reports from 154 roads
show a net surplus Of 323. cars. In
other words, on January the Ameri-
can railways Gncludtng Canadian
lines) had found it necessary to store
over IA per cent of their car equip
ment. No such surplus Of cars as
shown by these reports has ever before
existed on American railways. Tn Q
nearest approach to the present situa-
ton was in May, June and July, 1898,
when large numbers Of cars were put
in storage because OF lack OF traffic,
but the surplus Of cars then was only
from a fourth to a third as great as
at present In June, July and August,
1902, when the per diem rules agree
ment first became effective, and every
effort was made by the railways to
send home all foreign cars which were
then on their respective systems, tn a
increased efficiency in the use OF the
equipment resulted in a temporary
surplus, which was, however, insignift-
cant in comparison with present con-
ditions.

lola. Jan. 31.-One of the biggest
mortgages that has been filed for
years in the register of deeds office in
this county was filed this week when
-the Kansas City Pipe Line company
gave mortgage to the Fidelity Trust
company of Philadelphia for s6,00O,-
600. The same attorney who filed the
mortgage filed deeds showing the
transfer Of the property Of the Kaw
Gas company, the Kansas Natural
Gas Pipe Line and Improvement
company and the Jantha Construction
company to the Kansas City Pipe
Line company. The consideration is
not given in the deeds.
The deeds would indicate that the
Kaw, Kansas Natural and Jantha
people had consolidated their inter
ests into the Kansas Pipe Line COM
pany. An effort was made today to
get in communication with some OF
the officials of the Kansas Natural at
Petrolia, Chanute and Independence,
but the parties who were supposed to
be able to give the desired informa-
tion were all out Of the city. The deed
of the Jantha Construction company
is signed by H. A. Mackey. that of
the Kansas Natural by Eugene Mack
ay and that Of the Kaw by F. V.
Eaton.

record at the courthouse for $1,000

The mortgage and deeds mean a
good deal of work for the force in
the register of deeds office. The
mortgage is a book ten by twelve
inches with eighty-seven pages OF
finely printed matter, all of which
must be copied off on the records
The fee for filing the deeds and mort
gage was SAT.
Robert Thompson, register OF
deeds, said that he had not had time
to look up the matter yet, but he
rather thought that the mortgage
made today by the Kansas City Pipe
Line company on all of it's property
from Kansas City south through the
state to the Fidelity Trust company
was not the biggest on record here.

TENNEY's AWKWARD PLACE.
Can't Get Managers Salary From
Giants Nor Sell Boston Stock at Par.

Boston, Jan. 31.-There is some
doubt about Fred Tenney signing a
contract with the New York Giants.
Fred wants to do better financially
than he did here last season, but it is
a question whether Brush will pay
him more money for playing than he
received for playing and managing in
Boston last season. There is where
the shoe pinches. If Tenney fails to
fall into line he may find himself in
an awkard position. Tenney has been
unable to dispose of his holding in the
Boston National league club, for
which he was desirous of getting more
than par. No one has expressed a de-
sire to take the stock off his hands,
even at par.

A Great Psychologist
Once Said the Way to Keep the Stom
ach Healthy Is To Ex-
ercise It.
But He Did Not Tell How to Make II
Healthy.


The muscles of the body can be de-
ve1oped by exercise until their strength
has increased manifold, and a proper
amount of training each day will ac-
comp1ish this result, but it is. some
what doubtful whether you can increase
the digestive powers of the stomach by
eating indigestible food in order to
force it to work.
Nature has furnished us all with a
perfect set of organs, and if they are
not abused they will attend to the bust
ness required of them. They need no
abnormal strength.
There is a limit to the weight man
can lift. and there is also a limit to
what the stomach can do.
The cause of dyspepsia, Indigestion
and many affiliated diseases is that the
stomach has been exercised too much
and it is tired or worn out Not exer-
else but rest is what it needs.
To take something into the stomach
that will relieve 1t from its work for a
short time-something to digest the
food-will give it a rest and allow II
time to regain it's strength.
The proper aid to the digestive or
gans is Stuart's DYSPEPSIA Tablets, which
cures dyspepsia. indigestion. gas on the
stomach and bowels, heartburn, palpi-
tation of the heart, and all stomach dis
eases.

The common sense method is to di-

Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets do not
make the cure, but enables the organs

HE HACKETT MARKET
 NEARING COMPLETION
It Will Be Ready for Business Some Time This Week.

The new Hackett market, concerning which an extended mention was made a couple of weeks ago, is now rapidly approaching the stage of finished con- struction and will be opened to the public some time this week. A visit to the place now discloses the fine counters in position, lacking only the tops and the brushing out of the de- bris accommodating during construction. The big refrigerator in all it's depart ments is in good working order and the machinery that is to furnish the power is practically all in place.
 There is yet a deal of cleaning up to do. clearing out the shavings and polishing up and getting in the stock, but all this will be attended to, and some time during the week, the public will have an opportunity to step in side and look over what is recognized as the most complete plant of the sort in the west It is a most creditable enterprise and shows the faith of the promoters in the future of this city. The first cost is enough to satisfy the financial ambitions of a lot of people in this world, and the management has indicated by it's investment that it is here to conduct a market business that will be second to none and be a per manent institution in the city. It will be one of the show places of Phoenix and all Phoenix people should look it over, first for their own satisfaction and secondly that they may not neglect to apprise newcomers of the existence of so perfect a plant.

There is no work being done at the Duquesne properties and the ore to be shipped is that which was in stock in the camp when the shutdown occurred all most a year ago

Early Cigarette Smokers.

Who first introduced cigarettes into
this country? They We're first used in
the streets here by the late Laurence
Oliphant. says TIE Reader. and, curl
ously enough, the introduction of this
method of smoking to the English PEG,
pie came as a result of the Crimean
war.
Our officers in Russia, among other
hardships, could not procure tobacco
or cigars, and learned the use of the
cigarette from their French, Italian
and Turkish allies, and also from their
stay in Malta and Gibraltar
Introduced into London military and
other clubs, the new custom made
very slow progress. But its use stead
lily spread from 1870 to 1880, when the
fashion was set by the golden youth of
those days
