NEW MISSOURI PACIFIC BLOCKS
Safety Device for Operators to Protect
All Trains

Orders have been placed by the Mis-
souri, Pacific-Iron Mountain for nearly
100000 pounds of copper wire which
will be used in installing telephone cir
cults between the offices of the gem
eral superintendent at Little Rock and
Kansas City and the St. Louis general
offices, as we'll as providing additional
telephone and telegraph circuits be-
tween other points on the line. The
long distance telephone service be-
tween ST. Louis and Kansas City will
enable the general officials here to get
in quick communication with those
points. and avoid much delay in the
handling of urgent business. The ter
ritory covered by the telephone train
dispatching circuit on the Illinois di-
vision is to be extended to take in the
southern Illinois coal fields, where the
lines are now operating by use of the
telegraph.
Most important is the installation Of
the manual telephone block apparatus,
which, by the end of the present year,
will be placed at all stations and pass
ing tracks on S3S miles of Missouri Pa
cific-Iron Mountain main line not now
protected by automatic signals. By
m cans of this device it is absolutely
impossible, without total disregard of
all rules and signals, for a train to en-
ter a block without the knowledge and
consent of the operator at each end of
it, thus insuring the safety of passen-
gers from collisions.

ESKIMO GIRL IN JAIL.
Two Years Sentence Here Probably
Means Her Death.

Leavenworth, Kan. Oct. 31.-A full
blooded Eskimo woman, Carrie Sang
Sing, is in the penitentiary at Lansing
to serve two years for assault with a
deadly weapon. She is the first Eski-
mo TO be imprisoned there.
Carrie Sang Sing may not ring like
a true Eskimo name. It isn't because
Carrie was married to a Chinaman in
Nome. The marshal said he had
heard her maiden name, but he could
not remember it, and Carrie could not
spell it.
Carries stepmother died in prison at
Mcneil Island a little more than
year ago and her father. who has been
imprisoned at McNeaI Island, lives in
Nome, Alaska. His name is Ablaruk.
Both her father and stepmother were
convicted of the same offense for
which Carrie was brought all the way
from Nome.
Carrie didn't restrict her dissipation
to eating gumdrops. While under the
influence of liquor Carrie slashed a fell
low native with a knife.
Two years at Lansing may mean a
life sentence to Carrie. Eskimos do
not live long in temperate climate and
the next summer may kill her.

able maneuvering, Sheriff Hoover Kerr
and Under Sheriff Ed J. Dunfee sue
ceeded in arresting Susie Jennings, a
young woman who is wanted In Hutch
inson on charge of forgery. It is
alleged that the prisoner secured about
$500 by signing her mothers name to
a series of checks.

an weighing less than 100 pounds.
When the officers called at her ad-
dress a man answered. He represented
himself to be the woman's brother and
said she had just stepped out. He did
not know when she would return.
Sheriff Kerr questioned the man
closely and discovered so many dis
crepaucies in his story that he decided
to keep him under surveillance until
the woman was found. Watson, as the
man gave his name. feared that the
officers had come to arrest him.
The woman admitted signing her
mothers name to a number of checks.

Fisher Brothers Were First Settlers
in Thriving Town.

Leavenworth, Kan, Oct. 31.-Fifty-
seven years ago this month the first
two families that ever lived on the
townsite OF Leavenworth located here.
They were those of Adam and George
Fisher, brothers. When they first
settled in Leavenworth in October,
1864, Mrs. George Fisher carried
with her the first baby that ever
blessed the communicated three
months old boy. The Fishers brought
some lumber with them from St.
Louis and with it they erected a shed
in which they lived until they could
get a house built
Both of these men did much for
the early development of Leaven-
worth. Adam. especially, was one of
the most energetic, capable and pub
lie spirited men that ever lived in the
city, according to the late H. Miles
Moore. For many years afterwards
he resided in Washington, while his
brother, George, lived on the Law
renee road southwest of Leavenworth.
Both are now probably dead.

Moore, whose frantic efforts in district

Why Buy Indigestion ?

If you knew how much lard your
grocer sells couldn't you tell pretty well
how much indigestion there is in the
neighborhood? Lard is made from hog
fat and is often indigestible. 1t is heav-
Ter IN your stomach than on the scales.
Buy Cottolene, however, and you get a
vegetable-oil cooking fat that is as pure
and wholesome as olive oil. Besides,
Cottolene is more economical than but
ter or lard-one-third less being re-
quired.
Remember, Cottolene contains no hog
fat; there's no lard indigestion IN food
cooked with Cottoleue.

NO MORE LEGISLATION WANTED
Uniform Classification Committee Is
Satisfied Now.

St Louis, Mo, Oct 31.-The COM
mittee on uniform classification OF
freight and simplification of tariffs
made a report to the national conven-
ton of railway commissioners at
Washington. The chairman of this
Commissioner E. E. Clark. The sep
arate cIassifications now in force have
been built up through years of oper-
alton in the different classification
territories, the carriers in each terri
tory considering particularly their own
interests and acceding in numberless
instances to the desires or demands of
their patrons The committee reported
as follows:
1.-The carriers committee in charge
OF the several present classlflcatlons
are giving due consideration to the
provisions of the other classifications
and are seeking to bring about uni
formity in different features and items
as changes are made Every Such step
contributes toward ultimate conform
ity. It is better for all concerned to
permit the present plan of action to
continue so long as substantial and
continuing progress IS thus made,
rather than to now undertake to pre-
pare and prescribe uniform cIasSl1l-
cation. We also think that behind this
effort on the part of the carriers there
should be the spur of continued inter-
est and activity on the part of all in
terested or vested with any authority
in the premises, and definite under
standing, that if continued and sub
stantiaI progress is not made, the work
will be undertaken through other
means by those having authority so to
do.
"a study of this work leads to the
thought that uniformity in classified
ton can perhaps only be reached by
resort in some instances to additional
commodity rates. Your commit
tee does not wish to be understood as
suggesting that uniform classification
is impossible. but the work is of much
greater magnitude than was at first
