8. w. SOlenberger, Polo, Illinois
Our first Impressions upon approach
ing Abilene were the fine country,
the fertile soil and the choice I'M
provements showing that the farm
ers are an Industrious class. Ar
irving in the city we were taken
completely by surprise to find sub
stantial buildings, miles Of up to
date side walks, and fine drives far
above the average of our western
cities. Visitors to the conference
were much pleased with the hospital
ity of the people, the doors being
open all over the city for our ac-
commodation. The fact that scarce
ly any poor, shifteless people are
living in Abilene is perhaps because
all this available space is taken up
by the substantial evidences Of your
prosperity. Much Of this prosperity
is due we believe to the superior re-
ligous atmosphere Of the place.
wherever the people are interested
in the religion Of Christ this interest
is evidenced by thrift, culture and
education. Your city seems well
provided with good schools and
churches. These are the foundation
of your high ideals which are SO
manifest in the place. We hope the
conference may prove a blessing to
the entire city and leave effects long
to be remembered by the citizens
and visitors.

100000 MILL FOR HOPE.
stucco Manufacturers Planning Big

Hope Dispatch: The U. 8. Plaster
Co. has closed the deal on the Alex
ander farm and will build big
mill out there in the near future
They tested the rock under the farm
in many places and found plenty Of
It. It is expected they will build .
large mill on the farm and have ar
rangements SO they can ship from the
min over both Missouri Pacific and
Santa Fe railroads.
II they build the mill expected,
there will be 100000 spent before
they are ready for business.
This means much for the people
of Hope. and a permanent institu-
ton, for there is stucco rock on this
farm to keep hundred men busy

SIX AMERICAN CARDINALS
Argument of Western Journalist for
Larger Represent atiOn in
Church's senate.

An argument for the appointment of a
greater number of American cardinals is
found in an article contributed to the April
issue of the North American Review by
Humphrey j. Desmond, a well known law
yer, author and journalist of Wisconsin.
He suggests that 1.-The recent papal decree.
OF date June 10. 1908, remodeling the Roman
congregations, taking the United States
out of the category Of missionary coun-
tries and placing 1t in a co-Olinate place
with Italy, France and Spain In the family
Of Christian nations, may presage other
changes also, and he adds that America
may entertain some hope that the very in
adequate representation of the western
hemisphere In the College of Cardinals is
now at last 70 be remedied.
Ever since Pope Sixtus V in 1886, or
dained that the number Of cardinals should
never exceed seventy, Italy has enjoyed
almost a two-thirds preponderance In tho
college. The Catholic population now under
the American flag may he safely estimated
ct 100000. or nearly one-tenth of the en-
tire Catholic population OF the world.

mechanical engineers had examined and
approved the models. The Hartman lines
will use this form of car construction in
the future, particularly in dining, mail and
baggage cars. The first batch of seven
cars are now being fitted out in the Omaha
shops.
Among the tenders for the right to manu-
f~acture under patents, the offer Of the
Commonwealth Steel company of st. Louis,
is most likely to be accepted. Clarence
Howard. president of the company. came
TO Omaha last week to close the deal. His
company offers to organize a separate COM
pany with a capital of S25O,0Oo, to manu-
facture and market the devices. give the
patentees a handsome bunch of guaranteed
stock and a royalty on each device turned
out. With the Hartman lines as a ready
market for the product, Omaha's latest in
ventors will not require a guide to point

LUCKY OMAHA INVENTORS
Secure Patents on Steel Platform,
for Passenger Cars.
STEEL FRAMES FOR MAIL CARS
Devices rms VIII Resist the Impact
of Collisions and Tel
escOptng--SteeI Ike Bid
for Patents.

In the gruesome reports of train disas-
tiers in this country the reader invariably
is informed that the mail car was reduced
to kindling wood or the baggage car
was telescoped." Sometimes the smoker
Is crushed like an egg shell" or driven
through the car ahead. Such descriptions
are 80 common as to be worn threadbare,
yet most accurately fit the ruins Of head
on collisions, and trains wrecked by OBJ
structions or misplaced switches. The
present makeup of passenger trains renders
inevitable the crushing of the lightly-con-
structed cars placed between ninety-toE
locomotives and the solid, heavy coaches in
the rear.
Public criticism has spurred efforts to
remedy this fruitful source of railroad
mortality. Railroad managers turned to
steel construction as a means of relief.
But many obstacles are encountered. The
greater cost makes a double draft on run
ming expenses. causing prudent managers
to bear the ills they have rather than swell
the rolling stock percentage of expense.
Two Omaha Inventions.
Two inventions perfected by Omaha men,
for which patents were granted March 8,
1909. give promise of supplying the long
felt want. The inventions are the joint
product of Bartholomew Julien, master car
builder OF the Union Pacific shops, and
his assistant. William Point. The main
device Is a huge steel casting for car-end
construction of passenger cars, taking the
place of wood, and designed 10 resist the
impact OF a collision and prevent the de-
structiOn OF the car frame. It provides a
rigid, light and strong end-construction
"of such compact form as not TO interfere
with the most efficient disposal Of draft
gear and other accessories. and Of such
character as to act as a unit in resisting
severe stress" This platform is for use
on all classes OF passenger cars.
The second device is practically a steel
frame for mail and baggage cars. embrac-
ing the steel-end construction. connected
with a rigid floor frame. roof and side
braces so arranged as to take up ard
distribute the force OF the blow OF a
collision. Mr.. Julien claims tina the steel
platform, at is center. will resist a blow
Of 10000 pounds, equal TO the impact OF
the collision Of two trains, head-on, run
ing thirty miles an hour, Telescoping is
considered impossible, and the crushing OF
a car so constructed is very remote.
