Former employees Of the railways
voluntarily gave up their positions on
Nov. 30, after refusing the offer of the
railroads to arbitrate and be bound by
the arbitration afterward without APP
peal, the refusal being made In the fol-
lowing language in letter signed by
Mr. Hawley and dated Nov. %. "The
committee begs leave to state that 1t
will not submit to arbitration under
any circumstances" 1t became nee
essary for the railroads to promote
many Of the men who remained in the
service TO transfer some from other
branches and to employ many new
men In order to perform their duty to
the public, to the other employees and
to the owners of the property, as large
employers OF labor under the wage
agreements the twin city lines would
not be justified in reducing in rank
those employees who have been promot-
ed since Nov. 80, in returning to their
former employment those who left pos

competent men who have been employ

however, certain that upon the basis
of re- employment suggested by your
excellency many of the old switchmen
can be given employment and probably
large number would be restored to
their old positions. With the growth of
business IL is reasonable to expect that
considerable increase in force will be
required which will enable the twin

aggregate for more men than were
employed previous to Nov 30. The rep

They have done so with the sincere de-

a continuance of the present conditions.
In conclusion the representatives of the
twin city lines are under the necessity
of advising your excellency that their
offer cannot remain open indefinitely
and that IL not previously accepted 1t

CHERRY HORROR
KILLS IDENTITY


La Sale. ILL.,. Dec. 2s.-six weeks
after she stumbled away from the
black hole OF the st. Paul mine shaft
at Cherry, convinced that her two
brothers were among the dead in the
third vein tunnel. Miss Margaret
BredInsKl. rs years old. of Kewanee
awakened for the first time since that
night of horror to realization of her
identity at st. Mary's hospital here
this afternoon.
A long search, prosecuted by Sheriff
Skoglund of Princeton and Captain
Hall of the state militia at Kewanee
resulted in the discovery of Miss
Bredinsh at La Sale. Although the
sisters at the hospital had done all In
their power to identify the young wo-
man and discover some clew which
might lead them to her relatives or
friends their efforts were unavailing.
Miss Bredinski entered the hospital
under peculiar conditions She was
found in an irrational condition. the
night of Nov. Ia by a farmer in a
lonely country lane three miles north
west of La Sale. The farmer took
the young woman to st. Mary's hos
pital In his wagon. He gave the sis
tiers the meager information at his
command and then left.
Doctor Obtains cIew.
Since her arrival at the hospital
Miss Bhedinski has been treated by
DIR. Fl. M. Orr, who finally ascertained
through the patients delirious MUIR
murs that she had an overwhelming
interest in the Cherry disaster. The
doctor, possessed of this information.
two weeks ago began an investigation
through Sheriff Skoglund and Captain
Hall that led to the identification of
the crazed young woman. The story
OF her case, as 1T has been revealed
since her identification, is remarkable.
On the night that the mine disaster
occurred Miss Bredinski left her place
Of employment in Kewanee and took
a Burlington train to Arlington, three
and half miles from Cherry. When
she stepped off the train at Arlington
she could find no conveyance, So she
walked through foot-deep' mud to
Cherry. Arrived at the mine, she kept
vigil for orty-eight hours. Then she
suffered a nervous collapse, but never
theless she managed to walk down
muddy lanes for eight miles to the
vicinity of La Sale. At this point she
was discovered by the farmer.
Unable to Talk English.
Unable to SPEAK word of English,
being a Lithuanian recently arrived
from Europe, Miss Bredinski became
puzzle her nurses feared they would
never be able to solve. The patient
watchfulness of DR.. Orr, however.
finally worked out the pathetic riddle
and the invalid girl was tonight
started for the home Of friends at Ke-
vance.
Less than two months before the
st. Paul mine disaster Miss Bredinski
lost her eldest brother by a cave-in at
Cherry. This, physicians who have
studied her case say, worked upon the
young woman's mind until she was i'm
an almost irrational condition when
she was told of the probable death of
her two remaining brothers in the
mine fire.
In addition to these two calamities.
Miss Bredinski suffered the loss OF
$500, the savings of years, through a
robbery two months ago. Physicians
say she may become permanently in
sane as a result of the anxiety. ex-
posure and suffering she has under
gone.

Thoughts for the Home Nurse.

A plain cotton dress with little
starch to cause rustling is desirable
gown for the nurse. In case of in
fectious diseases her hair should be
covered with a cap. Perfumes ana
scented soaps should be avoided by
those in care of the sick.
A trained nurse who has been most
successful in caring for diphtheria pa.
tients and has escaped taking the dis
ease she thinks because of the pre-
caution to always cover the nose and
mouth of the patient with handker-
chief wet in a solution of one-five-
thousandth per cent. of bichloride.
This protects one from the germs that
might fly out of his mouth while
spraying the nose or throat.
Another important rule for a nurse
to remember is never to eat anything
in the sick room, and always rinse her
mouth with listerine or some antisep-
tic wash before eating.
A nurses hands should be dipped in
a disinfecting solution each time after
caring for the patient. The nails
should be trimmed quite close and
scrr bed carefully with a nail brush,
as they form good hiding place for
germs. solution of one one-thou-
sandth of bichloride should always be
on hand, for the nurse and the doc
