Chicago, Nov. A-Arguments of Chi
tcago railroad executives against the
electriflcation of their terminals in the
city are refuted at almost every angle
by the published views of engineers
who have been engaged in the work of
Identification in New York and else
here.
Although the heads of Chicago roads,
looking at the question mainly from the
viewpoint of dividends and the large
first cost involved. have protested al
most to man that the substitution Of
electricity for steam is impracticable,
absurd, upeconomical. or in its infan-
|cy, an entirely different view of the
subject is presented in the testimony
practical study of steam road electri-
fication.
The records of the proceedings of the
leading technical societies during the
last two years are replete with facts,
and statistics based on the experiences
of the New York Central and New
York, New Haven & Hartford roads,
presented in papers and discussions by
the leading civil, electrical and mechan-
ical engineers of the country, which go
to show just the opposite.
That electrification has increased the
capacity of the New York terminal by
one-third, and that important savings
have been effected in almost every de-
Eartment of operation is the testimony

dent of the New York Central in

York terminals and who now is en-
gagged in supervising the identification

A PRODUCT OF DIXIE

Cotton has always been one of the principal
resources of the South. In former days, only
the Cotton lint was valued and preserved. The
seed was thrown away as worthless. In recent
years. however, the skill and genius of experts
have developed this waste product until now the
Cotton Seed on adds millions of dollars each
year to the wealth of the South.
Foremost in perfecting methods of refining
and utilizing the oil have been The N. K. Fair
bank Company. They first appreciated the
need of cooking fat more clean and whole
some than that made from the fat of the hog.
In the manufacture of Cottolene they have
changed Cotton Seed Oh into a cooking fat as
wholesome as olive oil. yet so pure and neutral

WHEN THE BODY
P0|S0NS ITSELF
Every Sufferer from Stomach
Trouble Should Know
These Facts.

Like the other organs the stomach
calls upon the blood for strength and
nourishment to sustain it in its daily
work. If the blood is impure the stom-
ach receives a supply loaded with pol
sons, or toxins as they are called.
Thus the body poisons itself, a process
known by physicians as autO-lntoxlca-
tion," or se1f-poisoning.
Oxygen is the element in nature that
will render these poisons harmless and
transform them chemically so that they
may be cast out by the ordinary pro-
cesses of the body. DR.. Williams Pink
Pills enable the blood to absorb in large
quantities the oxygen that is in the air
we breathe and in this way they combat
the poisons in the blood and enable it to
and strength. The best proof is cure
like that of Mrs. John Knuth, of R. F
D. No. 2, ST. Joseph, Mo. She says:

FOUR MURDERED.
Their House Set on Fire to Conceal the
Crime.

Bluefield. w. Va, Nov. 1.-The
charred bodies of three members of
the family OF George Hood, an aged
white man, were found in the ruins
of the Hood home at Harper, and the
body of George Hood was removed
while the flames were at their height.
The bodies taken from the ruins were
those of Washington Hood aged So
years; his sister aged 81 and their
niece aged II years. The body Of Geo.
Hood, 20 years old. had the head al
most severed when 1t was dragged from
the house.
The burned building was a two story
frame structure, the upper floor being
occupied by the Hoods while in the
rooms below was a restaurant con-
Quoted by negro. The theory is that
the house was fired after the inmates
had been murdered. though there is not
the slightest clue as to the perpetra-
tor.
officers Immediately went to the scene
with bloodhounds but the dogs failed
to take the trail
The robbery theory was suggested by
the fact that Washington Hood on
Saturday had shown over 500 in the
negro restaurant.
A younger Hood was attending SER
vice at a church near the homo and it
was from the church the flames were
first seen. Hood rushed nadly from the
church. He fought his way into the
home, which was already a roaring
furnace and forced his way up the
steps until he stumbled over the corpse
OF his father. He managed to drag the
tody down the stairs and out into the
yard but when he attempted to go
for his sister, brother and little child,
found every entrance closed by the
flames When the flames had subsidized
the ruins were searched and the
charred bodies found. There seems to
be little doubt that Washington Hood s
throat had been cut before the fire
was started.

to institute legal proceedings neces-
sary to test the validity of the assess
ment of the county commissioners TO
pay for the bikes on the south side OF
the river and will take action to pre-
vent the collection of the same.
The county has levied an assess

just to the tax payers aid they doubt
the legality of the assessment.
City Engineer Rogers asked the
council for new wagon for the use
of the field men last night. Hardly
had the request been sent to the
meeting when the ways and means
committee headed by General Hughes
made their exit to the committee
room, passed on the request and
brought back verdict of guilty. The
city was fined the wagon and in
few days the city engineering force
will go down Kansas avenue instead
of through the alleys.
The Edison proposition on West
Eighth avenue was taken meekly last
night. Instead of standing up for the
city in a matter that demanded in
Simultaneous action on the part of the
officials as an example to others who
are DESTROYS of tearing up new
pavement the council allowed the
Edison petition to slip quietly through
and not whimper was hear|.
Before the meeting there were
threats of killing the petition and the
permit and it was thought that the
council intended to take some action
in the matter of the Edison company
mutilating the West Eighth pavement
before it was hardly cold. But the
threats died down and nothing was
done.
The only debate of any kind to take
place in the council last night was
concerning the section of a new rail-
road ordinance which required the
railroads to install and maintain cleo
trio arc lights above their street cross
ings. A few of the radically inclined
councilmen were in favor of enforcing
the section, but others with the sill
very tongues thought the railroads
were doing so much for Topeka that
the city should be 1enient. The ora
tors against the section won out and
it was many minutes before the tear
stained cheeks were dried.
The designations of w. W. Mills
from the electric light commission
and c. E. Jewell from the board of
waterworks trustees were accepted by
the mayor and council last night. j.
B. Marshall will succeed Mr.. Mills
and C. o. Knowles will take the place
on the water board. The new appoint
ments were approved with extra COM
ments from some of the aldermen.

Line company to build an eight inch
pipe line to carry oil to the Standard

The company will be exclusively n

COLQUITT rs DEFIANT.

Austin, Tex, Nov. Estate Railway
Commissioner o. B. Colquitt has
thrown down the gauntlet to the inter-

through a petition which Shreveport,
La, jobbers have made to the inter-
state commerce commission to force
the Texas railroad commission to give
them a mileage rate into east Texas.
San Augustine, Texas, merchants wrote
to Mr.. Colquitt about it and in reply
he said in part:
you say that the Shreveport jobbers
have made application to the interstate
commerce commission to force the
Texas railroad commission to give them
a mileage rate into east Texas.
IF they have this object in view they
will fail because the interstate COM
merce commission cannot make the
Texas railroad commission do any
thing. We propose to protect the peo-
