GUARD MERCHANDISE TRAINS.

BOuncers for Projection.

Railways i'm West Employ "HObo
Bouncers for Protection.
Lincoln, Neb., Aug. 13.-In the last
few years the railroads of the middle
west have employed "hobo bouncers,' -
special officers who travel on the mer-
chandise trains, chase tramps and pre-
vent them from robbing cars. They
cooperate with special policemen who
are employed at division headquarters.
For at least 25 years the Burlington
has kept special watchmen night and
day in the switch yards and in the
commercial section, where there are
always a number of merchandise and
fruit cars standing. Sometimes the
hoboes object to being put off trans
and show fight. Several officers have
been killed or seriously hurt in the
one was killed by hoboes at Chey-
enne, Wyo. Members of the railroad
secret service state that car robberies
have increased considerably in the
last ten years, largely because there
are more trains run and the number
of hoboes has grown larger They
break into merchandise cars and steal
food, whisky, tobacco, cigars and
clothing. Most of their thieving is of
the petty kind. 1t is seldom that they
steal large quantities of stuff. A
number of tramps have been arrested
in Nebraska in the last year for rob-
bling cars and convictiC MS have fol-
lowed in great many instances.

is the basis for a vigorous complaint
on the part of officials of the Chicago
Great Western Railroad company.
In a communication issued to all
employees of the road, it is pointed
out that the company pays large sums
of money annually on account of eggs
broken in the ioadinf' and slowing of
crates. Experts of the department of
agriculture recently estimated that
$45, 100000 is lost every year through
the improper handling of eggs.
This is a very live subject at this
season of the year. said The commu-

Whoever was responsible for this
work of art overlooked an opportun-
ity. While Mr.. Campbell looks just
grand as Thomas H. Benton he would
have been simply irresistible as Alex

coat with large silver buttons, velvet
pants, a powdered wig, with lace at
his throat and carrying his three cor
Dered hat folded gracefully against his
breast he would have run the Progress
sives of his district across the state
line.
After looking at Mr.. CampbelPs pic
ture and being transported back to n
nobler and a finer age it is a cruel
shock to the feelings to be yanked
back to realities and reflect that he
wears a. detachable collar and ordinary
Kans suspenders. And this isn't in
timating that the Kansas congressman
isn't a handsome man, for that is
conceded by everybody.
