TO CHANGE STEEL RAILS.
Contracts for 1911 win Embody DIFF.
ferent Specifications.

President McCrea, Of the Pennsyl-
vania railroad. has taken up the ques-
ton Of the company's steel rail re-
quirements for 1911. No orders will
be placed before an important confer
ence to be held next week between
Fifth Vice-President Atterbury and
the representatives of the steel rail
manufacturers about specifications, as
the company desires to make some
important changes in its present
specifications.
The officials of the company also
discussed freight car requirements for
the coming year yesterday. An official
said the orders when placed are likely
to be small, representing in a large
measure the filling up of vacant num-
bers, which simply means replacine
cars that have been destroyed or be.
come obsolete du-ing the past year.

The Doctors
Question
Some Advice Against the
Use of Harsh Purga-
tives and Physics.

A doctors first question when con
suited by a patient is. Are your bow
els regular" He knows that 9S per
cent Of illness is attended with mac
tive bowels and torpid liver. This
condition poisons the system with
waste matter and causes accumulation
of gases which must be removed
through the bowels before health can
be restored
Salts, ordinary pills and cathartics
may be truly likened to dynamite.
Through their harsh, irritating action
they force a passage through the bow
els, causing pain and damage to the
delicate intestinal structure which
weakens the whole system, and at
best only produces temporary relief.
The repeated use of such treatments
causes chronic irritation of the stom-
ach and bowels, dries and hardens
their tissues, deadens their nerves,
stiffens their muscles and generally
brings about an injurious thabit which
sometimes has almost, if not, fatal re-
suits.

HOW TO PREVENT
PLAGUE SPREAD
Frank E. Wing, Chicago Expert,
Addresses Mass Meeting at
First M. e. Church.
IN AID OF LOCAL HOSPITAL
Undertaking of Kings Daughters Is
Commended to PubIic-Fight in
Illinois and Results.

Plans OF the Helpers circle Of the
Kings Daughters 20 establish a tu-
iberculosis hospital in Rock Island
were explained further at a mass
meeting held last evening at the
First M. 2. church, Sixth avenue and
Nineteenth street. The meeting was
under the auspices Of the Rock Is
land County Medical society. Rev.
R. B. Williams, pastor of the church,
presided. Frank E. Wing, superin-
ftendent of the Chicago tuberculosis
institute, gave an illustrated lecture
on Prevention and Cure of Tuber-
culosis." He was introduced by DR..
w. H. Ludewig, president of the Rock
Island County Medical society. Fol-
lowing Mr.. Wings lecture an Offering
was taken to apply to the fund for
the proposed hospital. The meeting
was largely attended, and a new in
terest was awakened in the need for
the systematic fight that is being
made over the country against the
spread of the dread disease.
A'The New CRUSADER
Mr.. Wing employed 1.-THE New Cru
SADIE" as the subject of his address,
con views Of the work in Chicago. Mr..
Wing said in part:
I'm the fourth chapter of st. Mat
thew, the 10th verse, are found the
following words: The people which
sat in darkness saw great light; and
to them which sat in the region and
shadow of death, light is sprung up
with your permission, I am going
to separate these words from the con-
text In which they are written, and
take them as the keynote Of what l
shall say to you this evening.
This is an age Of crusades. If we
look back through history we shall
see that almost every age has been an
age of crusades. 1t seems to have been
the nature of man, in working out the
progress of the race, to engage in cru
sades. The upbuilding of Greece and
Rome-and their downfall as we'll
were the result of crusades. The great
revival of learning during the middle
ages; the wars of conquest that es-
tablished the supremacy Of the Anglo
Saxons and the Teutons among the /
nations OF Europe; he religious re- {
vivals inspired by Luther and Wesley; /
the struggle for independence; the /
fight against slavery-all have been /
crusades for principle, power and !
right. Many of them have been cru |
sades of war; today we are engaging |
In the crusades of peace The fight |
for industrial supremacy: the strug- /
gle for pursr politics, with the elm /
lnation Of graft; the warfare against I
lntemperance and vice, are some of |
the standards under which our present
day crusades are marching.

All the old residents Of this city
know Mr.. Spencer, and many who
know him personally have heard of
his heroism in saving lives from this
wreck His friends would be much
gratified for such a recognition of his
bravery.
1 would ask any citizen of this city
to take an interest in this matter and
communicate with any friend in con-
gress who can help. A party who has
written me says: "Mr. Spencer is ag-

OIL TANK FOR HUTCHINSON.
Newton-Dodge City Run of Santa Fe
Not to Use Coal.

MOI 10 Use COai.
Hutchinson, Kan, July 21-Unoff1-
cial announcement was made in local
Santa Fe circles today that before long
a large oil tank will be constructed in
Hutchinson to supply engines here
with fuel. and the locomotives on the
Newton-Dodge City run will use oil in
stead of coal.
The oil burners will be put at first
only on the main line passenger trains,
it is said, but later the freight engines
also will be equipped and the coal
burners will be used only on the
branch lines.
The Santa Fe has been gradually
converting its coal LOGON olives into oil
burners, the first change being made
on the Southern Kansas division,
which passes through the Chanute oil
field.
About the first of the year oil burn
ers were put into commission on the
main line between Topeka and New
ton and from Newton to Arkansas
City, as well as on the Oklahoma d.
vision.
Now the shops at Topeka are to
Hutchinson, and before long the Santa
Fe will be operating trains clear to
Colorado with Kansas oil as fuel.
A number of large oil storage tanks
are to be erected at various points.
These already ordered in are at To-
peka, Kansas City, Emporia, Newton
and Arkansas City.
It is expected that the next order
will be for tanks in Hutchinson and
Dodge City. These tanks will hold
about 100000 gallons of oil.

MISSOURI PACIFIC WORK ON.
Its New 100000 Shops in Kansas
City Under Way.

Kansas City. Mo-, July 21.-Ground
has been broken for the new Missouri
Pacific railroad shops in the East Bot
TOMS. The cost OF the structures will
be from 100000 to 100000. The
Westinghouse-C hurch-Curr company
has the contract The tools and ma
chinery are on the ground, a cement
building and temporary office have
been constructed and material is ar
irving. Following are the important
buildings of the group:
Machine shop, 260x30O feet.
Car shop, 150x575 feet.
Forty-two-stall roundhouse.
Another Missouri Pacific problem of
the near future is the raising of the
Kaw river bridge six feet, to comply
with the new drainage orders. Since
the flood of 1903 it has already been
moved until it is a few inches higher
than the Union Pacific bridge, which
stands beside it, but both structures
must be raised about six feet.
New freight division headquarters
have been established by the Missouri
Pacific at Falls City, Neb., which is
just half way between Kansas City and
Omaha, and a. big round house has
been erected there. Before it is plac-
ed in use, however, it will be necessary
to complete certain yard improve
ments there. A machine shop, 115x
200 feet, a two-story office building
and coal chutes adequate to the de-
mands at Falls City are to be built at
once.

ENGINEERS OF WORLD TO BID.
Quebec Bridge Greatest Feat of Its
Kind Yet Known.

Ottawa. Ont, July 21.-The eyes of
the whole engineering world will be
directed towards Ottawa in September
next. Calls for bids for the construc-
ton and creation of the great Quebec
bridge have been just issued by the
Department of Railways and Canals
here, the tenders to be returnable on
that date.
In this official announcement lies
the basis of one of the greatest indus
trial competitions in the worlds his
tory today. Just as the Quebec's
bridge, when constructed from the
plans of the International Engineering
Commission, which has been studying
the question since the collapse of the
first Inflated structure, will be the
greatest engineering feat the world
has yet known, so it now seems Will be
the competition for the contract.
The successful bidder will have to
deposit security of $1,000,000 for the
carrying out of the work. It is not
often that even great industrial cor
porations play a game in which the
stakes are 100000 down.

PROSPECTS ARE FRIGHTENING
Southern Kansas Electric Road May
Go Through Erie.

lola, Kan, July 21.-F. v. Crouch of
lola president of the Southern Kan
sas Electric Railway company, has
been granted an extension of his fran
chise in st. Paul by the city council
there. Mr.. Crouch set out two or three
years ago to build from Iolt to Pitts
burg by way of Chanute, Erie, st.
Paul and Girard. He is manager of
the lola Street Railway company. In
presenting his request for an extern
sion from the st. Paul council, he in
formed them that his eastern repre-
sentatiyes have recently met with
much encouragement in financial. CEN
tiers, and that prospects are brighten
ing again.
Chanute granted Mr.. Crouch per-
mission to lay tracks in streets on the
east edge of the city. His time limit
there has about expired, and he has
asked to have it extended, but no ac-
tion has been taken.
Erie granted Crouch permission to
run his line through there and he
afterwards got an extension on the
time in which he was to begin work,
but he will have to get busy soon or
his extended time will be up.
