USE COPPER IN STEEL RAILS.
Engineers Believe New Metal Adds
Life to Steel.

Chicago, nov. IA. - Use of copper in
steel rails is causing increasing inter-
est on the part of engineers of some of
the larger railroads because of the al
legged life increase given to steel rails
when they contain small percentage
ofthe metal. If, as now seems probable,
big railroad systems find after exhaus-
tive tests that a steel rail containing a
copper alloy outlasts the pure steel rail,
it may mean a new use for copper has
been discovered, in the development of
which large tonnage will be employed.
The st. Paul in the current year has
had 5000 tons of Bessemer steel rails
treated with a per cent. copper alloy.
The experiment was based on the per-
Torrance of rails made from Cornwall
ores which carry a small percentage of
copper. The rails made from these ores
showed unusual toughness and re-
sistance to wear, and it was on this ac-
count that the experiment was under
taken.

No Year in History When Load

ROCK ISLAND is FOURTH

Chicago, Nov. 14-Earnings of all
western railroads are far in excess OIL
last year, and give promise of contln-
uance, according to figures compiled
bv New York Post. Traffic returns Tor
last week were fully as large, if not in
excess of the previous week and mall
tanned recent large gains shown over
last year. In fact, there mas never
been a wear when the loadings were SO
heavy. and so much tonnage has been
handled with SO little delay. Every
road is short of empty cars, rev
seriously, and a number just little.
Business with merchants and manu-
facturers has not been slackened by the
election returns and is not expected &c
be- as stocks of goods are not large
among the distributors and consump-
ton is heavy.
Husking of corn is general through
cut the leading corn states, and yields,
while not up to early high estimates Ill
Illinois, are good average, and In
Iowa are by far the largest known. -
Nebraska there is a fair yield and II
the other states it is fair to good.
There is enough, however, to give the
railroads all they can handle 1of
months to come.
Grain Deliveries Large.
Grain deliveries at Chicago last week
largest at this time in many years.
1t increased 1872, 900 bushels, or 1871
per cent over the previous week, A.
PA 600 bushels, or 1923 per cent over
last year, and 1861, 900 bushels, or ~
per cent over the average for the past
five years. Wheat receipts have not
been equalled at this period in recent
years. and gained 215,000 bushels for the
week, and 514, 900 bushels over las
year Corn increased 100000 bushels
for the week, and were above the av-
erage, but were $4,000 bushels under
last years. Oats set a new season )
record, and gained 355,000 bushels for
the week, and 3,429, 900 bushels over last
year The Northwestern handled the
largest share of the grain traffic last
week, q per cent. with the st. Paul
second, II per cent, the Illinois Cen
trail third, with 16 per cent, and th:

ISSUE A new Bible.
Baptists Have Put Out One Arranged
to Suit Themselves.

Philadelphia, Nov. 14.-What is re-
garded as a most radical version of the
Holy Bible has been placed on sale
here at the American Baptist PubliCa-
ton society room. 1t is a Baptist Bible
for Baptists only, and much of the
old text has been entirely changed.
In that portion of the new Tesla
ment where the conversation of the
Saviour is described, in place of using
the Greek .Baptize" the literal trans
lation "Immerse" is used, so as to
conform with Baptist teachings that
Christ went down into the water for
the Baptism.
All the archaic forms of the King
James and revised versions have been
completely eliminated. The new Bible
IS called the Improved Version

INDEPENDENT ROADS NO MORN
Pioneer Railroads on Wane, Says
Kenefick of NJ. o. & G.

heneflck Oh M. ~. * u.
Kansas City, Mo-, Nov. 1.-THE work
on one of the two extensions of the
Missouri, Oklahoma & Gulf railroad Is
to begin by January 1. William Kene-
fick, president of the road, who re-
turned this week from Paris, where he
conferred with the men who ale
financing the new line, made that an
nouncement. He said that within a
week it would be decided which one OF
the two extensions is to be built first
The road now is in operation be-
tween Denison, Tex, and Wagner,
Ok, and by the end of this year the
service will be extended as far north
as Joplin over 100 miles of new track,
the ballast of which is being laid nov.
One of the extensions is from Henry
eta, Ok, to Oklahoma City and the
other is from Denison to Dallas. The
former calls for the construction OF
100 miles of new road. and the latter
So miles. Both have been financed
with a bond issue of $27, 500 to the
mile, but only one is to built at
time. The total issue of bonds is about
million dollars.
Mr. Kenefick was asked about the
persistent report that the st. Louis d
San Francisco railroad had purchaser
his line.
IT hope that someone will buy 1T
some time he said, "but 1 am not
talking trade with anyone now. There
is nothing in the report about sale
to the Frisco.
1.-The day of building Independent
railroads in this country is about at
an end. OF course the old lines will
build branches, connections and extern
sions, but don't look to see any more
pioneers in railroad building. The
modern scheme of finance discouragcs
it. The banks and the trust companies
are associated in one way or another
with the railroads and there is a dis
position not to permit a conflict OF
interests

Agricultural Department Aid.

So great has been the success of the

awanna railroad two years ago to bene-
fit agricultural conditions along its lines

bureaus to the three now established.
ARRANGEMENTS have been made to have

HISTORY MAKING AT CHICAGO

At the time we go to press on
Friday, the situation at Chicago
has not sufficiently developed for
US to know certainly what the
final result will be.
We prefer, therefore, to re
serve our comments thereon un'
til the stirring, confused events
new taking place in the Repub
hcan National Convention shall
have become definite history.
That from out this fiery, seeth'
ing struggle of opposing interest
there will be born at last some
thing like "a new earth wherein
dwelleth righteousness political
" and economically, we devoutly
believe; that it marks a return to
the real representative govern
ment of the people by themselves
which the fathers won with blood
but which the Special Interests
have cunningly tilched away, we
also believe; and that the ulti,
mate outcome of it all will be a
larger, truer liberty for the great
mass of the common people
whom Lincoln AYERS the AL
mighty especially loves, thank
God, we cannot donbt!

THE DEADLY LORIMR

Like the fatal blight of the fab
LED upas tree, Lorimer has shed
a deadly cOntagiOn upon the
heads of every one of these bood.
le-approving senators who rallied
to his defence.
So 20 or more of these apollo
gists of his UNANIMOUSLY bought
seat, have lost their senatorial
heads at the hands of the indig-
nsnt people of their several states,
or like Aldrich, Crane, and a few
more, have walked out of WASH
ington with their heads under
their arms to save their constit-
uents the trouble of their deca'
pitatiOn.
And now that the senate has
been scared into ceasing to block
the peoples demand for the elec'
ton of senators by their own
votes, that important reform will
soon becomes by the vote OF
every state, the XVIII article
of the Constitution and this dis
graceful traffic come to an end.
The better day is now sure
when a seat in the highest branch
of the National legislature, will
no longer be the purchase OF
vulgar millionaires, but the hon.
orable prize of brains and char
aeter; then manhood, not money
bags, will be exalted.
The Senate has long been
chiefly an exclusive club of mil
lionaires, some of them the SER
vile tools of Special Privilege,
bought in the shambles of poll
tics and serving always them
selves and their owners instead OF
the people.
Then let US all thank God that
the besmirched Lorimer is to be
at last kicked out! Mayhap,
Stephenson, Guzzenheim and
others, will also some day get
their like deserts.
