Denver, Colo, Jan. 27.-"We are

traffic manager of the Union Pacific
railroad, today. Mr.. Munroe is in the

1.-The year is starting out nicely"
continued Mr.. Munroe. 1--WE are doing
business on a conservative basis and
think the same course is being follow

eral. There are always periods when
conservatism is desirable, and we are
going through such a period now. The
underlying conditions, however. are
good and as said, we are optimistic

INCREASE FOR DISPATCHERS.
Burlington Men Ask for More-Other
Roads to Follow.

Lincoln, Neb., Jan. 27.-It is under
stood that dispatchers on every divi-
sion of the Burlington lines west of
the river, with the exception of the
Sheridan division, have petitioned the
management for an increase in pay.
The management has replied that the
matter is taken under consideration
and an answer will soon be made. Just
why the dispatchers on the Sheridan
division did not petition while others
were asking for more pay is not
known.
The movement for more pay inaugu-
rated by dispatchers is country wide.
On many roads it has been taken up
by the dispatchers' organization,
while on other roads the request has
been made individually and by petit
ton. It is understood that very few
dispatchers in the employ of the Bur
lington railroad are members OF the
organization. On some roads almost
every dispatcher is member.
When the train dispatchers organi-
zation was formed it had the effect of
bringing the salaries of men on some
roads that paid below the average
scale up to the average. In some In
stances it was not necessary to await
a demand The arrangements acted
at once and increased the pay. Dis
patchers get from 1925 to $175 a
month.
1t is said that one point urged by
the dispatchers organization is that
dispatchers be recognized as officials
and not as employees merely Many
| of the men do not regard this matter
| as important enough to insist on.

COMPELLED TO
LEAVE SCHOOL
Nervous from Childhood and
Feared Paralysis.
This Missouri Girls Condition Was
Serious and Seemed Hopeless but
the Tonic Treatment Cured Her.

LAS 4SAASSO0AA MIL &0AAAA1CAA v" -
Serious and Seemed Hopeless but
the Tonic Treatment Cured Her.
The value of the tonic treatment of
nervous troubles by the use of DR.. Will
iams' Pink Pills lies in the fact that
these pills do not stimulate the already
exhausted nerves to keep up their work
for a time longer but that they replace
the depleted nervous energy.
Miss Susan NJ. Kerr, of No. 9 Mer-
rill street, Trenton, Mo-, who tried
this treatment says:
Ever since l was child had been
troubled with nervousness. Ny parents
first noticed it when 1 was about five
years old. They thought it was moth
ing serious but after l commenced 60
ing to school, became so much worse
that had to drop my studies. There
was continual jerking all over my
body. [ had no control over my limbs
and could not hold anything for fear of
dropping it. My left side was sort of
paralyzed and the left side of my face
write or even hold pen or pencil. The
least noise or disturbance excited me so
that would go all to pieces. [ was a
nervous wreck and always afraid Of
falling. My stomach was very weak
1 was confined to bed for a day or so at
o time.
81 was treated by several doctors
One said had nervousness, another St.
Vitus dance, while one said had par
alysis of the face. None of them gave
me much relief, although all of them
said they could cure me- After I had
been sick for long time gave up all
doctors treatment and began taking
Dr. Williams Pink Pills as advised by
a friend. After had taken the pills q
while I could begin to use my hands
and legs. gave the pills steady trial
and have not been troubled since. DR..
Williams Pink Pills gave me new blood
and strength and I heartily recommend
them "
DR.. Williams Pink Pills are sold only
in packages, never by the dozen or
hundred. The genuine are sold by all
druggists or will be sent by mail, post
paid, on receipt of price, so cents per
box; six boxes for So. so, by the DIR.

CAN'T AGREE ON WAGES.
Firemen and Railroads Still "Out"
Over Glass Engine Rates.

Chicago, Jan, 27.-Representativ
of the So locomotive f1remen employed
on sixty-one western railroads and the
general monagers, who have been con-
ferring over a dispute as to the wages
TO be paid on a certain class of en-
gines, have failed to reach an agree
ment and the wages will continue the
same. A year ago an arbitration
board gave firemen on engines with
a twenty-four inch cylinder or over,
and on compound engines weighing
over 215,0O0 pounds, 1915 per day.
The general managers claimed this
was a mistake as many of the engines
were equipped with superheaters that
reduced the amount of coal burned to
the same level as the smaller classes
of engines The firemen wanted an
increase of 20 per cent in wages in
lieu of the award of the arbiters.

Norfolk, Va, June S.-Confess-
ing that she helped bury the body of

yard of her home at Mason Creek,
Mrs. Minnie Murdoch cleared up the
mystery surrounding the finding of

Merkle, of having killed Davis.
In her confession to the police to-

Davis arms, crushed his head with an

kle were panic-stricken and hid the

Merkle and Mrs. Murdock are held

The parade was mile long, and
there was no undue stringing out,
either. The horse editor noted, too,
that the Persians, with the red caps,
who rode the camels, were all i'm
ported direct from the province of
Donegal.
There was in fact everything
usually seen in a circus parade and
many things that are not. The
streets were lined along the route of
the parade, and the big tents this af-
ternoon were jammed. It's cheap,
it's complete, it's great Such is the
opinion expressed about Sells-Floto.

New York, June S.-W. %. d.
Stokes, owner Of the Ansonia Hotel,
was shot three times and dangerous
ly wounded last evening by Lillian
Graham and Ethel Conrad, in their
apartments, in the Varuina, at 225
West Eightieth street.
Both young women and three
Japanese are under arrest, and Mr..
Stokes Is being cared for in a pri-
vate suite in Roosevelt hospital.
Out of the chaos of the conflicting
stories told by all parties concerning
the shooting of Mr. Stokes, it Is i'm
possible to make a story that is clear
and convincing. Not until the matter
has been ventilated in trial court
will 1t be possible to arrive at the
causes that led up to the most SEN
sational case of the sort in New York
since the murder of Stanford White
by Harry Thaw five years ago.
What is definitely known Is that at
6:05 o'clock last evening fusilade
of shots in the apartments of two wo-
men on the fourth floor of the Va
runa apartment house summoned sew
eral persons. They saw Stokes stag
ger from the private hall leading in
to Lillian Graham's apartments, and
then saw Miss Graham fire at Mr.
Stokes as he fell to the floor.
Promising sensations that will
shake New York's white light" set
to the bottom, Miss Graham, in her
cell today, told of the shooting yes
terday. The case will come up for
further hearing Monday. Congress-

SELF.

The horse editor freely confesses to
having had prejudice against the
harem skirt. 1t stuck to him until
dainty little Miss Ethel Roberts,
wearing one of the creations, came
down and removed It, You will un-
derstand, Of course, that we mean
she came down and removed the pre-
judice, not the skirt The horse edi-
tor doesn't pretend to be q Skirt"
expert, but he wishes to say now,
that the vision Of Miss Roberts in
that charming creation convinced
him at once that there was never
anything prettier--in skirts, and this
applies either way. Miss Roberts is
petite, graceful, and charmingly mod
est, and the harem skirt seemed to
be just the garment for her. The
garment is chic, becoming, sensible
and seems comfortable enough al
most for man to wear. The trous-
erloons part of II Is not in evidence
more than there Is sort of gathered
condition at the bottom in front, as
though the skirt had been caught and
pulled back between the limbs.
The horse editor noticed this es-
pecially for the dalntily shod little
feet, done up in green, low cut shoes,
with a few inches OF green silk
stocking to match, showed attract
lively above the little straps across
the ankles, and attracted his atten-
ton at once solely on account Of the
ylydness Of their color.
The little lady says she Is delighted
with the skirts and thinks they have
come to stay She said ~ cant tell
you how comfortable they are or how
convenient especially Ia getting on
and off cars, and the hundreds Of
things Of that kind where skirts are

no other"
Miss Roberts was the center OF at
traction as she walked down the
street and there was continual rub
bering' as long as she was in sight.
The fact that quite crowd followed
her did not seem to cause her any
annoyance. In the back the harem
part Is covered by an oyersklrt and
does not appear different from the
usual kind.
