Big Car Is Converted Into Horse Car
When Switch Engines Which
Usually HauIs Il Over,
Takes Vacation.
FOUR BIG HORSES USED
They Are Hitched to Car by Chains
and Drag Il Over Distance Where
Trolley Wire Has Been
Removed.

The days Of the horse car we're re.
v1ved yesterday on the KeolSuk and
Hamilton bridge when the fnterurban
car from KeoKuS to Warsaw was con-
verified into horse drawn car and
hauled by two teams from the point
on the bridge where the trolley wire
is down to the point on the other side
of the approach where the wire is
restored. The wire is down during
the reconstruction of the bridge.
The switch engine which usually
drags the car from the bridge to the
east approach was out OF commission
yesterday. It was necessary to get
the interurban over the distance whera
there IS no wire to furnish the power,
and two teams OF heavy draught
horses were pressed into the service.
The horses seemed to have practically
no trouble in getting the car along.
although they were in close quarters
each time on the bridge after being
unlocked.
The horses were attached to the
car by chains and with three drivers

on every trip Of the interurban.
Tie novelty of riding in horse cars
seemed to appeal to the passengers
land they recalled the old days in

recalled the horse cars in Chicago On
one of the cross town lines there.

HOW TO HEAL
SK|N-DISEASES

A Baltimore doctor suggests this
simple, but reliable and inexpensive,
home treatment for people suffering
with eczema, ringwo-m, rashes and sim
liar itching, burning skin troubles.
At any reliable druggists get jar of
resinol ointment and cake of resinol
soap. These will not cost a bit more
than seventy-ive cents. With the res
mol soap and warm water battle the Of
fected parts thoroughly, until they are
free from crusts and the skin Is soft
ened. Dry very gently, spread on thin
layer of the resinol ointment, and cover
with light bandage-if necessary to
protect the clothing. This should be
done twice day. Usually the distress
ing itching and burning stop with the
first treatment, and the skin soon be-
comes clear and healthy again.

What is Remedy?

what is the remedy for all these
problems? Germany has a great re-
serve fund for the protection by acct
dent insurance for the unemployed.
Other countries. such as England. Bel
afum and Switzerland have those laws
also and yet this great nation Of ours
has only seen into this need in the
last few wears. This nation is superior
to any others so far as industries are
concerned and yet has done nothing.
Every measure that is for the
worker is fur.sthe common good. Com
bine and ge~to the legislature and
ask for those laws which will insure
protection. .H
Taking upsthe matter of unemployed
Mr.. Collins said statistics prove that
in both good and bad times from s to
Is percent of the workers OF the
country are out Of employment. This
he said, is a pertinent fact, and a
remedy would be state and free en-
ployment agencies such as are in
existence in Massachusetts, and ILL
nois. He discussed also the need Of
insurance against unemployment such
as is in existence in Germany and
Belgium and is operating most sue
cessfully.
The housing Of working people was
another point dwelt on by the speak
err. He said figures show that in New
York 80 percent Of the working class
live in homes Of less than three
rooms; in Philadelphia 81 percent live
under the same conditions: Baltimore
So percent and Chicago 80 percent.
The speaker quoted from the CEN
sus bulletin No SO which shows that
So percent of the 100000 male adults
in industry get less than minimum
wage Of $500 per year. Mr. Collins
then showed the successful operation
of the minimum wage in Australia,
New Zealand and also referred to the
bill of similar nature now pending
before the English house Of commons.

men and manufacturers and he said
that when the latter saw some of the
evil conditions existing in their
plants they were the strongest for
drafting the code. In the state inves-
tigation the commission found some
shocking factory conditions such as
lack Of sanitation, fire escapes, light,
ventilation, seats for working girls,
guards on machinery, etc.
The speaker commented on the
fact that the work had been accom-
plished through education and not
through revolution.
THE problem of protecting the
working man." he said. "is very seri-
GUS problem as 1t affects and concerns
so many. The subject may be divided
into two divisions. protection Of work
ers by prevention Of accidents in IN
dustry and the protection of workers
and solicitude when he has been IN
jured though the accident was caused
by his own negligence. .... ... r.
"The fellow servant rule makes the
worker carry the whole of the burden.
The liability rule also. If machine
goes wrong it can be replaced by an
other and the industry has to stand
for the expense. The worker isn't
even treated on equal terms with ma
chinery.
"Contributory negligence or neglf-
gence on the part of the worker If ma
chinery goes wrong does not give the
worker any protection. In, one year
100000 men and women are either in
jured or killed in industry. Society
desires to do its share in protecting
the unfortunate, but does not know
how to direct its efforts. Those men
that are the SUPPORT Of a family ought
to have protection.
1.-The assumption Of risks ought to
be eliminated from industries. II one
applies for a position and is given
one. and that person Is injured or
killed even though he could not pro-
tect himself against it," because the
application declares he assumed that
risk when he entered the employ, the
unfortunate gets no compensation.
"The danger lies,in the fact that no
matter what happens. the worker is
left without protection.

GIVES IMPORTANT RULING
Stock Feeder Cannot Be Compelled
to Move Pig Pens, Judge Says.

Centerville, Ia, Jan. A case
of considerable Importance in corn
growing and hog raising Iowa was
contested at Winterset in which Lin
coin Harbold, a big southern Iowa
stock feeder of Plano, was defen-
dant. He and Sen. j. M. Wilson are
home from the trial of the case
which involved the right of farm
er to place his feed lot where he will
on his farm.
Mr.. Harbold supplies the Iowa
state and the United States govern
ment stations at Ames with their
entire supply of cholera immune
hogs for the making of serum. He
has big feeding pens at Peru and
at Plano. Across the road from his
Peru feeding pens is a farm occu-
pied by a tenant. The owner of the
farm brought proceedings to enjoin
Harbold from using the feed lots,
alleging they were a nuisance. The
court held that he could not be pre-
vented from using the lots, which
is Of significance at this time when
so many farms are being fenced hog
tight and hogs and cattle are fed DIT
various points on the farms.

AGED WOMAN is BURNED ALIVE.
Brother Puts Out Fire, But Doesn't
Seek Aid.

In a small farm house near Nit
chell, S. D., a doctor Wednesday
morning found the charred body of
an aged woman, Mary Traenor, lying
on the floor. In the same room an
imbecile sister of the dead woman
was lying asleep on couch. In an
adjoining room was one brother of
the woman, stone deaf, and suffer
ing with pneumonia. Another broth
er, James Traenor, was moving
about nearly blind from acute ALEC
holism. The place was reeking with
squalor and filth.
1t is believed that the woman came
to her death when her bed clothing
ignited from a lamp placed on the
floor to warm the room. The glare
of the flames awakened the nearly
blind brother, who smothered them
with a blanket and then went back
to bed. The accident probably &C.

Repented AfteE Thirty Years.

About thirty years ago Louis
Trumpower was working a farm on
shares and made his home with the
family who owned the place. There
was girl about 16 years of age en-
ployed to help with the house work
and one day while Mr.. Trumpower
and the family were away from home
she sold four bushels of corn to some
persons who were travelling through
the country, receiving therefor 81,
which she failed to turn over, and
the corn was not missed. After thir-
ty years she has repented of the act
and recently Mr.. Trumpower receiy-
ed from her a letter containing a re-
mittance for the amount, with the
statement that she had been convert
ed and the matter of stealing the
dollar had troubled her greatly. Tho
poor girl suffered from the conscious
ness Of wrong-doing, but she has
been freely forgiven and 1t is hoped
she is now happy. Mr.. Trumpower
will keep the dollar he received
from her, and If the occasion arises
he will use it to assist someone who
may be tempted to do wrong, as did
