and says he is ready for the opening of
the exhibition season. A few days Of
warm weather in addition to the few
days work already done will take the
soreness out of the players arms and
they will be in shape to begin the
steady grind Of work which results in
making a man the best possible ball
player. And if Easter passes without
a. storm Cooley feels fairly certain of
additional warm and pleasant weather.
AS to holdouts, Young and Jackson,
Richard is not worrying. They can
either come in soon or stay out. 1t
makes no difference. With Bolivar
Kaufman to work when an emergency
comes, Cooley says his youngsters can
win games for him for the first month
of the season at least. And by the time
other pitchers are needed he will have
them. Young and Jackson were both
offered money enough to bring them in
and they can either take it, and that
quickly, says Richard, or he will shave
their salaries in favor of the boys who
have reported early and worked hard
getting into shape. So it is UP to the
ho1douts.
1T know my players are not world
beaters,'' said Cooley today, but they
are a likely looking set of youngsters
and expect to get a ball player or
two out of them. The boys show up
nicely, so far, and they are working
hard. I am not at all displeased with
them and some of them show actual
promise
REILLY and Wooley will soon be here
and you'll have an opportunity to see
what it means to take a first division
team and add a man or two to it and
make 1t hummer. I think things are
going to break nicely for US this year
and that we are going to get away good
in this years race"
Burt Jones. the husky left handler of
a couple of seasons ago who was the
pride of the Western association has
been released by Cooley. Although he
did not report last year Jones was on
Cooley's string. The big fellow said his
legs were bad and that he could not
orado this year. Cooley did not want
to hold the southsider from a good job
and released him as requested.
Before you have read this today's
contest will be on. St. Paul's ambitious
ones will endeavor to hang our hides
upon the fence both today and tomor-
row. The games will afford an excel
lent chance to look the Cooleyites over
for yourself. Besides it is well to ac-
custom yourself to the grandstand
early so you will not shy at it in the
spring.

ILLINOIS SHOP RULES.
state Warns Railroad Industries i'm Six
Different Languages.

Bloomington, ILL.,. March 26.-Rules
of the Illinois department OF factory
inspection have been posted through
out the Alton shops. These rules are
printed in six languages and are dis
played in conspicuous positions so that
every shop attache can read them. The
rules have been promulgated by Edgar
T. Davies of Chicago, chief factory in
spector and a heavy penalty is pro-
vided for any violation. The impor-
lance of precaution in handling all
machines and keeping all machinery
protected as to reduce the liability of
accident is brought out, and employees
are warned to keep away from ma
chinery with which they are not ia
miliar. The necessity for safeguarding
all elevators, hatchways, and other
openings into which employees may fall
together with proper fire escapes and
other safety precautions are brought
out. Reports of all accidents to en-
ployes must be promptly filed with the
state factory inspector, giving the full
est details. Although these rules have
been in effect for the past year, this is
the first time they have been thought
applicable to the Alton shops and en-
ployes read them with considerable
interest yesterday.

FIRE AND WIND TROUBLE.
Kansas Railroads Have Had Hard
Time Last Week.

Railroading was a difficult problem
in Kansas the last few days. The high
winds made It difficult for east and
west trains to make time, the pressure
of the south wind on their side increas-
ing the load Of the locomotive ma
terially. So heavy was this pressure
that very few westbound or northwest
bound trains made time across the
eastern half of the state.
Several fires were reported at various
places on the Rock Island, Santa Fe
and Union Pacific systems, but none of
them were serious. Right of way fires
reported in several places but none Of
these were serious. In some places
huge piles of ties piled along the track
were burned and ties are expensive
these days.
During period like yesterday great
care is taken to avoid starting fires by
railroad men, but with the best of care
trouble sometimes follows.

Canton, Kan, March 26.-E. S. Al

Traction company of Bellevile, Kansas.
arrived here Tuesday and has rented
office rooms in the Farmers State
bank, and will have his surveyors and
engineers here in day or two and
will begin a survey of the motor car
road from here to Gossel. south and
north to Roxbury. He is not asking
any bonds or donations from anybody
or any city or township, but wants to
sell stock in the company. The COM
pany has ample capital to build the
road but they expect the people along
the line to take enough interest in it
to buy some stock. 1t is proposed to
build the line from Chester, Neb., to
Wichita, Kansas, and it is the inten-
ton to build this stretch of track from
Roxbury to Gossel first. They will
make headquarters in Canton while
they are doing this building and will
probably build permanent Offices here.

Western Railroads Conflscating Output
of Mines.
Coal confiscation is thought likely
to be genera. on most of the western
roads for the remainder of the month
although the Santa Fe officials have
not issued any such orders as yet.
This is said to virtually mean the
requirement of the entire output of the
mines until April /. The Rock Island
has many thousand tons stored, only
about half enough and will probably
try to double this amount during the
remainder of the month. Coal in the
new steel and wooden cars will be un-
loaded as long as there is a demand
for empty cars. Under ordinary cir
cumstances, the roads do not take all
the coal their contract calls for as they
leave a sufficient margin to guard
against accidents.

Denver, March 2s.-Demands were
made on the Colorado & Southern rail-

Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen for
an increase of three cents an hour in
the pay of the men and a change in
the working rules in accordance with
the terms of the settlement of the

, GOOD WAY TO USE HyoMEr.

Besides breathing through the in
haler a few times a day, many ca
tarrh sufferers write that they find
inhaling Hyomei from a bowl OF
steaming water each night before re-
firing a great aid in curing stubborn
cases.
Try It; it's very simple: gives
quick relief and makes you breathe
easier.
FIJI a bowl half full OF boiling
water; pour into the water a half
teaspoonful OF Hyomei, cover head
and bowl with a towel and breathe
through nose and mouth the medl-
Gated antiseptic and healing yapor
that arises.
This method relieves that STIFFNESS
at once and makes your head feel
clear.
You can get bottle of Hyomei at
druggists everywhere or at Gilbert >
drug store for only so cents, Ask for
extra bottle Hyomei Inhalent.
But bear in mind II you want a
Hyomei inhaler you must buy a com
plete outfit which onlC7 costs slOO.
But as stated before: II YOU al
ready own an inhaler a bottle Of Hy-
omel costs but so cents.
Hyomei is guaranteed by drug
gists everywhere and by Gilberts

CLARK'S KEYNOTE.

Champ Clark's keynote speech OF
the tariff in the house Saturday
sounded too much like the made VI
argument OF special advocate; and
not enough like the address of a
statesman on a national issue. He
laid the onus for the tariff fight on
the president, by saying the appro-
priation for the maintenance of the
commission is a scheme to postpone
tariff REIMBURSEMENT
Let us look at the presidents po-
sition and then at Champ Clarke
proposal and see which is the more
reasonable and bears on its face the
stamp of sincerity.
The president promised in the
campaign a revision OF the tariff, a
provision for publicity OF corporate
affairs, a maximum and minimum
schedule, and a commission to Sc
cure data on which future revisions
might be based. The tariff was re-
vised and reductions were made,
though not so much as the president
believed advisable. But he took the
position that. IL is impossible to ar
rive at fair understanding of con-
Iditions, on which a rational readjust
ment of the tariff can be based
without first acquiring unprecedented
Information. and the tariff commits
sion is the only means OF securing
the data. Therefore, he considered
the Payne bill a long step in tbs
right direction and signed the bin
II does give lower rates than tn,
Dingley law. which II succeeded, ant
provides all these other advantages
which he deems necessary to ;
proper revision.
President Taft's position. assumes
that the tariff is not a local issue
to be settled by compromise and bar
ter between representatives from an
tagonistic sections; but a matter
affecting the whole country equally
into which there essential factors
enter; the revenues for the govern
ihcuts mdlulthducc VI INC AnlcIlCdA
wage scale. by protecting IL from
competition with foreign cheap la.
Dor; and the maintenance OF Ameri
can industrial independence.
Champ Clark calls the presidents
tariff board a trick, and he favors
immediate revision OF the tariff. Hav.
ing no unprejudiced data on which
to base his revision. Clark's keynote
speech amounts only 10 this: he
proposes for his party that II sue
cessful in gaining control OF congress
It will Immediately set about tinker
ing with the tarif. without any ex-
pert Information, without regard 10
the wage scale or the Industrial in
dependence OF the nation, without re-
gard TO the effect on business. That
will be the issue, and the result is
not hard to foresee.
