Of thee tests, which are to be made in actual, practical operation of trains, report will be made to congress, and the information will be used as the baais of legislation to increase the safety of travel by requiring proper safety devices and methods to be used. When the money was made available the commission appointed under it organized and sot to work to examine all the patents and devices known. They were found by the hundred.

The great majority were eliminated as impracticable or too expensive. When the list had been narrowed down to a small number, arrangemeats were made to equip sections of track in different parts of the country with various devices, and give a thorough test. Within a short time the vrst test will be in progress, out in California. The Santa Fe railroad has tendered the use of a division of its track to try a wonderful scheme of signaling which is beiieved to possess great possibilities. This driee includes a block signal system of the improved kind, with some extras.

There is a device by which ths train dispatcher at the end of the division can show signals along the route, tltiMii to please himself. Further than that, he can turn a switch and put into operation an automatic stop, such as is used on the operation of the subway trains in New York. Or, if preferred, he can employ another signal, and communicate direct with the engineer in the locomotive cab. This device, of course, employs the scheme of electrical control. It is believed to be safe from any outside interference, and secure from any interruption on account of weather or other physical conditions.

It does not cost an amount which renders it prohibitive. It is expected that the most important results will be secured from it, for it not only enables the dispatcher to keep in constant and instant communication with the engineer in his cab, but enables him to stop the train without even communicating with the engineer. The system is to be thoroughly tried out. Another, less startling in purpose and scope, is to be installed on the Buffalo, Rochester fittsburg road, and given a test and a third probably will be put in on a division of the Chicago, Burlington Quincy out of Chicago, though the arrangements for this installation have not yet been perfected. Congress has arranged, through an item in the sundry civil bill, to continue over the next year the appropriation heretofore made, and to broaden the powers under which these tests are being made.

The expectation now is that a voluminous and illuminating report on the whole subject will be laid before congress at the next session, and that congress will undertake some effective legislation to enforce a proper the rhree-1 league, and won from Bloonilngton 4-2. ie did so well that "The luckiest day of my life was when I boucht a box of Buoklen's Arnica NOW THE i somnia. a salve;" writes Charles F.

The preliminary hearing was set for May 13. His bond was set at $500 by Judge Flynn, in default of which the defendant was returned to the county Jail.

"Violet" because of the violet odor imparted to clothes on which it is used. It has proven exceedingly popular in other cities such as St. Joseph and Topeka and, being a home manufactured product, should prove so here.

The women of Leavenworth should support a home industry by calling for it at their grocer's and demanding that they receive it. Do not accept substitutes. The 10-cent package contains more for the money than any other etarch, and the starch has many features which recommend it not causing the irons to stick to the clothes, goes further than other kinds, gives a more lasting polish, makes garments look like newj readily dissolves, requires no cooking; saves time and labor and is the only perfumed starch on the market. Once used it will be in every home. Give it a trial.
