Epilepsy, Fits, St. Vitus'
Dance and Spasms, are all nerv-
Gus diseases. They have been
cured in so many instances with
DIR. Miles Nervine that it is
reasonable to conclude that it is
almost sire to cure you. With
nervous diseases of a severe
type, persistent use has almost
invariably resulted in a complete
cure or lasting benefits, worth
many times the cost of the rem
edy. The best evidence you can
get OF its merits is to write to
those who have used it. Get
bottle from your druggist. Take
it ali according to directions, and
If it does not benefit he will re-
turn your money.

With newly elected Coach Bob

BREsNAHAN IS POPULAR.
st. Louis Cardinals Now Have Large
Following.


In st. Louis the Cardinals. the Ma
tional league team, has large follow
ing, not from the showing they have
made during the past few years, but
simply because the Missourians are
staunch for the old league and its per-
formers. Starring in his second year as
manager is Roger Bresnahan, one OF
the greatest coaches in the business
and formerly the mainstay OF the
Giants. There is no denying that
Brenahan's going hurt the Giants. He
managed to pull his st. Louis club
somewhat out of the mire last season,
some real flashes of form being shown
at times, although the final step was
far toward the bottom OF the ladder.
st. Louis was one Of the charter
members of the National league, but
the pennant OF the National has never
f1oated in that town. There isn't
chance on earth that it's going to go
floating around there this season eithe~.
But there have been some famous
teams in St. Louis and some famous
characters connected with the game,
notably Chris Won der Abe, one Of the
most picturesque figures the game has
ever known. He was president OF the
club from 1892-97. In recent years the
Cardinals have shown very poorly.
The easiest way to find out where the
Cardinals We're in the standing was TO
start at the tail end of the percentage
column. Bresnahan experimental lib
orally last fall in an effort to grab of
some one that could deliver, and has

JOHNSON is ALL RIGHT.
Fight Promoters Are Not Worried
About 1t.


I New York, April 9.-The course of
big things pugilistic took its way rap
idly westward today with Jack
Gleason, one of the Jeffries-Johnson
fight managers, enroute to San Fran
cisco and John McKeon, who has
been representing the Gleason Rick
ard interests here, on his way to Chi
cago.
McKeon will stay in Chicago until
next Friday and, the fight enthusiasts
say, will not make his way further
west except in Jack Johnson's COM
pany.
Uneasiness on Tex Richards part
regarding Johnson's plans is respon-
sible for McKeon's trip to the far west
with Johnson in tow. The New York
agent has been instructed not to leave
Chicago for the coast without being
sure that Johnson is on the same
train.
Gleason, before leaving, expressed
himself as confident on this point
There is no occasion for worry over
Johnson assured Gleason. Richard
has only conducted one big fight, the
Cans Nelson battle at Goldf1eld. and
he may be trifle restless. Johnson
has assured me that he will begin
training near San Francisco before
May 1, and I believe him.

TO KEEP FROST FROM WINDOWS
Invention which Throws Air Current
Across Surface.

Across Surface.
Salt Lake City, Utah, April 9.-The
accumulation of frost on the interior
of the ordinary front cab window in
cold weather is another difficulty with
which the engineer must contend, by
day as well as by night. In this de-
vice provision is made for eliminating
this annoyance by means of the small
shutter pivoted near the forward out
side edge of the window frame. In
this position the shutter acts as scoop.
directing a current of cold air through
a series of perforations in the housing,
past a defiector plate. and in thin
film. across the interior face OF the
window.
This shutter is so arranged that at
the will of the engineer its forward
edge can be brought into contact with
the housing along a line forward or
the perforatfons mentioned. thus cut
ting off the flow of air across the plane
of the window when atmospheric con-
ditions are such as to make it unnec-
essary.
The device is the invention of Mr..
C. NJ. Goodrich, a locomotive engineer
on the Chicago & Northwestern rail-
way. residing at Clinton, Iowa.

RAILROAD NEWS.
Santa FO Has Success With New
Screw SpikeFs.
Vice President Hendrick Tells
of Practical Use.
BOWELS TO BE USED.
Company's Experiments Differ
From Other Railroads.
Other Items of General Interest
in Railroad World.

1t would appear that experiments to
ascertain the adaptability of screw
spikes to American railway track are
now being followed with greater earn
estness than has been the case at any
time in the past. says the Railway
Age-Gazette. The paper on the conser-
walton of cross ties. read before the
American Railway Engineering and
Maintenance of Way association by
Vice President J. W. KendTick, of the
Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe railway
at the recent convention in Chicago
showed the advantages claimed for the
screw spike as contrasted with the ser
vice OF drive spikes. Mr.. kendrlck mas
made an extended study of the subject
and on his road there are various ex-
perimentaI sections of track on which
the screw spike is being tried.
This, however, was q part of the sub
ject that Mr.. Kendrick did not speak
Upon in detail. This year the Atchi-
son, Topeka & Santa, Fe railway Will
Use screw spike faSteuingS on 90 miles
of track on the Hutchinson euton. OF
this distance 10 miles of track will have
screw spikes used with bowels. The
kind of wood TO be used for these dow
els is as yet experimental. Creosoted
beech is being tried. and this company
will also investigate bois dare.
1t is to be noted that the use OF
bowels with this company differs from
that Of railroads in France. where the
wooden doweI is very commonly used III
creosoted ties Of long life, but not until
the wood fiber around the screw spike
fas begun to decay. That is to say
when the ties are laid new the screw
spike is applied to the tie direct. In
the course of time the wood begins to
rot around the screw spike which,
through motion of the rail, begins to
enlarge the hole The holes are then
reamed out TO a diameter of about lie
inches, and a wooden plug is then
screwed iuto the enlarged hole, to re-
ceive the spike.
1t is remarkable that, considering all
the advantages claimed for the screw
spike, it will not hold to its work dur
ing the life of a creosoted tie For this
reason some means must be taken for
preserving the holding power of the
screw, and the wooden doweI, threaded
and screwed into the reamed-out spike
hole, is one Of the devices adopted.

NEW TUNNEL HAS BEEN OPENED
Railroad Systems of Chile and Argen-
tine Now Connected.

The trans-Andean tunnel connect
ing the railroads systems Of Chile and
Argentine, WAS opened with formal
ceremonies a few days ago. That tun-
mel is one Of the wonders of the rail-
road world of the southern hemi-
sphere. 1t is $4,000 feet above the
sea level, and is five miles in length.
The expectation is that the tunnel will
do much to increase the commercial
relations of the two South American
republics, and greatly reduce the cost
of many commodities which they may
now more freely interchange.

no surprise. The young Colorado
