Cleaning Glass.-One whose glisten-

Irish housewife. After she washes the
glass she rinses it in hot water and
then plunges it into cold water in

THE WHITLA CASE.

Every man and woman in the
country has been watching with in
tense interest and solicitude the pro-
gress of the Whitla kidnapping case /;
and every one rejoiced to learn yes
terday that the boy had been recoy-
cred in safety after a disappearance
lasting almost week.
The reason for the widespread in
terest in the case is creditable to the
humanity of the race. Every father
and mother knew the agony of appre-
hension overwhelming the father and
mother of the boy. They knew the
fearful apprehensions, the agony at
the thought of what the child might
be enduring, the doubt as to whether
they would ever see him alive again.
The response to these emotions was
one of the touches that make the
whole world kin in common suffer
ing.
And the rejoicing at the recovery
Those who have watched by the bed
side of a child dangerously i'll and
seen it brought back to safety know
something of the happiness that boys
father felt when he saw his child
again, safe and we'll, but none can
know the mothers great JOY who has
not gone through her ordeal.
OF all the crimes against social or
der, none il seems to us is so grave
except the nameless offense against q
woman's s honor. Kidnapping ought tc
be made a capital offense, and prob
ably would be were it not that such
a penalty might lead to the death oi

capture and the punishment the of
fense deserves.-Salt Lake Herald.

MIDLAND WILL PUT ON A
FAST NEW PASSENGER TRAIN

improvements, involving
large expenditure and including
the enlargement of the Colorado
Midland shops, the rclaying of
the line with 00-pound steel and
the installation of II new linn
tied train each way daily be-
tween Grand Junction. Colorado
springs and Denver. are antici-
uated for the Colorado Midland
railroad, as the result of an Of
ficiaI inspection of the road next
sunday by Daniel willard, sec
ond Vice-president OF the. Bur-
lington and the Colorado and
Southern lines, which control
the Colorado Midland.
Preparations are already in pro-
gress at the Colorado City shops for
enlargements that will enable the
plant to make heavy repairs on equip
ment of the western lines of the Bur-
lington, in addition to the same class
of work now done there for the Colo
RADIO Midland. The nearest heavy
repair shops of the Burlington sys-
tenn proper are at Holdredge, Neb..
about 500 miles east of Denver, the
western shops making only running
repairs.
The Colorado Midland has for
some time been planning the relaying
of large sections of the line with
new and heavier steel, in preparation
for increased train service required
TO meet an unprecedented growth of
traffic on the line. 1t is now stated
that original plans for this improve
ment are to be greatly amplified un-
der the Burlington control.
The new limited trains. according
70 reports. win be installed early in
the summer. to handle the heavy
tourist traffic and will remain in
service permanently. The trains will
have entirely new equipment, inelud-
ing observation car, and are designed
for Colorado traffic, although they
will carry Il through Pullman car to
