New Train Day Going Out of Mil
waukee.

A train day!
That is what the Chicago, Milwaukee
& st. Paul Railway has been sending out
to its Pacific coast extension from it's
Milwaukee shops of late. An engine of
the big XII type, twenty-four freight cars
and caboose, with train crew aboard,
have pulled out from the Milwaukee
shops each day, not to return, crew and
all going through
The shops have been turning out
twenty four freight or stock cars and a
caboose daily, two locomotives of the K1
type each week and one mail and one
express and baggage car weekly. In
addition the company has been receiv-
ing fifty of the K1 engines from loco
motive company, so the engines have
come along at the rate of one day fig
uring in the two week turned out in
Milwaukee.
After having turned out 5000 freight
cars of late the Chicago, Milwaukee &
st. Paul Railway recently asked for pro-
posals for the parts of 1000 additional
cars Before the proposals were opened
the number was increased TO 5000 and
finally to 5000. Metal enters very large
ly into the new cars, probably not to ex-
coed 500 pounds of wood being used in
the new stock cars.
The foundry plant at the Milwaukee
shops is turning out 400 car wheels
daily and at that cannot keep up with
the demand. - Milwaukee Free Press.

Grand Stuff, That Hair Tonic!

WILSON Bros.
Edgerton. Wis,
Dear Doctors: Your Dandruff Cure
and Cocoa Oil were duly received, and /
hasten to say that my scalp is now in a
healthy condition, though | must say
that my escape from badness was hair
raising.
1t is with the greatest of pleasure that
l recommend the merits of your wonder
full hair tonics, for my bill for trimmed
eyebrows and hair cuts alone, last week,
being four dollars and eighty cents.
My landlady, Mrs x, also wishes to
express her gratitude for what your hair
tonic has done for her. Only few days
ago the cook mistook it for tonic of a
different nature and she, at once devel-
oped perfect hair-lip Mr.. X is now
spending his evenings in the sitting
room instead of the kitchen.
Your hair tonic is not only of great
value for improving ones personal ap-
pearance, but it is also great expense
saver. A slight application is sufficient
to revive hair mattresses, paint brushes
and hair cloth furniture.
Your tonic nearly caused tragedy,
embarrassing to me yesterday. My
landlady's pet cat jumped upon my
dresser and drank little of the precious
fluid. The landlady was at her wits end
but luckily I conceived plan. By
thoroughly picking the cat, and turning
her wrong side out, saved her life and
much to Mrs. KS delight she is now
maltese instead of sandy complexion.
Please send me by return mail one
| thousand five hundred and eighty seven
bottles of your excellent hair tonic, as ]
have ordered four hundred carloads of
intelligent cabbage heads, upon which
intend to raise fine crop of assorted
kairs for the trade during the coming
holiday season. Very truly yours,
| Nick.

Memphis, Tenn, Dec. lone of the

other, a child, in dying condition,

mouths of both where the poison had
touched, bearing out evidence of the
means. was the sight which greete
of the child, burst into an apartment
Of a local hotel early today.
The woman was lying on the floor,
described, while the child, girl of &
years, was on a bed and nearby was
the empty phial from which the moth
er had evidently, after administering
the drug, carbolic acid, to the chill,
swallowed the remaining portion. The
child was removed to hospital where
it died several hours later.
The woman, apparently about So
years of age, registered at the hotel
late last night as Mrs. Schmitf, Hot
Springs, Ark"
She was newly dressed, and after
depositing jewels valued at $500 with
the clerk, the two retired to the
apartments assigned them. Her bag
gage consisted of small satchels and
nothing unusual was noted in her &c
tons. Other than a request that
some ointment be sent her with which
to dress a bruised finger. the hotel
employees heard nothing from the
room. until the Waterman, on one Oh
his rounds this morning, heard the
feeble cries of the child, which led to
the gruesome discovery.
Among the effects OF the woman
was found an insurance policy made
out to the name of Teresa Errington
and payable to Nicholas Errington
Toronto, Canada, a piece of paper
with the name M. p Errington and
the address 242 Schiller street, Chi.
cage, and $500 in money.
The bodies are being held pending
the location of relatives. Nothing
was found which would indicate the
motive which prompted the act.

Chicago, Dec. 1--Nicholas P Err
rinz1on, 242 Schiller street, this city,
when informed of the Memphis occur
renee, said that the woman must have
been his wife, Theresa Lereg Erring-
ton.
There must be some mistake" said
he. "My wife would not commit sui,
eide She had no possible reason for
such a thing. Our married life has
been happy. With the little girl The
resa she was going to Hot Springs,
where was to have joined them. We
go nearly every winter. She was in.

the policy, either in my favor or in
the name of my little girl. / did not
know that she had the policy with
her. nor how much money she had
urday."
Mr.. Errington declared that he
would go to Memphis today.
Later in the day n. P, Errington
was notified of the deaths in uks
Memphis hotel by a telegram from
the Memphis chief of police, asking
instructions concerning the disposi-
ton of the bodies. The husband pre-
pared to leave for the Southern city
He acknowledged that his wife had
been in poor health for some time
Theresa was not well and we had
hoped that the trip to Hot Springs
would do her good said Mr. Erring
ton. IF IT is true that she has taken
her life, can only think that de-
spondency over her i'll health prompt
ed her to the act. She was usually OF
cheerful disposition and when she
left had no idea that her condition
preyed upon her mind"

and particularly the foreigners, In
case the engagement between the reD.
els and the troops of the government,
which apparently is bound to occur
in a very short space of time, results
in turning loose on the city disorgan-
lied and undiSciplined soldiers. The
arrival of the Des holmes was pre-
ceded by that of the French cruiser
Duguay Trouin and the American
cruiser Tacoma The British cruiser
Scylla and the Italian cruiser Fiera-
mosca are expected shortly. With
their advent the foreign element will
feel much more secure.
No Serious Outbreak.
The night passed without any Sc
rious outbreak, but the government
showed by it's precautions that it ex-
pected an attack at any moment. For
the peoi of the city, the night was
one of alarm and fear. Occasionally
rifle snots were heard-evidently
some sentry firing at night providers
but each shot was taken to be the be-
ginning of the expected fight. All night
long patrols of infantry and cavalry
marched or rode through the streets
and the people kept carefully within
doors.
It is reported this morning that
General Simon, the leader of the rev.
pulmonary. movement, was at Petit
Goave, about thirty miles 20 the west
of Port yau Prince, Monday morning.
He hast with him an army Of six
thousand men, well armed, with good
rifles and well provisioneG. He has
also several pieces OF mountain ar
tiliery and some machine guns. He
is expected to reach Port au Prince
Thursday or Friday at the latest, and
it is reported that he will undoubted-
ly make an attempt to lombard the
city if the government forces put up
q fight.
Gunbcat Was Present.
The government gunboat Nord Alex
is was at Petit Goave when General
Simon entered the town. The captain
was for resisting the advance of the
enemy, but the government command
er on short persuaded him that such
resistance would be futile and would
accomplish no good. The captain I'm
ally decided to let the rebels come in
unopposed. The French consular
agent at Petit Goave, M Cheriz, act
ed as intermediary in these negotia-
lions. II is felt here that the convo-
cation of the chamber of deputies, il
this step is carried out, may precipi-
tate the threatened encounter, or
even make tae situation much more
serious than it now is. 1t is impos-
sible to tell what the deputies viii
do. and they may declare their oppc-
sition to the president, There Is a
strong belief among the people of the
city that President Alexis is on the
point of retiring from Office and man,

his successor.
