MOVING KOTJND.

Engineer J. P. Hine of the Wabash who was assaulted in St. Louis by highwaymen on the' morning of November 16, was able to visit the roundhouse Saturday afternoon for the first 'time since that experience. He will perhaps be able to resume work in about ten days.

The blow he received iu his left side was more serious than at first supposed, but he is gradually recovering from its effects. His sprained knee is not yet strong enough for active duty. GOES THIS TIME. Agaiu a bulletin has been posted at the Wabash shops announcing that there is a sufficient supply at Bement for the Wabash engines. BOARD HAS NO AUTHORITY.

Attorney General Goddard of Kansas has advised the state board of railroad commissioners that it has no authority to order a railroad company to provide a site for a gain elevator on its right of way. He bases his opinion on a de cision of the United States supreme court in a Nebraska case iu which the court said the right of way was the private property of the railroad com pany and that an elevator was not public utlity to. the extent that right of way could be condemned for its bene fit. The opinion of the attorney general was given in connection with a proceed ing before the board to compel the Mis souri Pacific to grant an elevator site at Marquette. NOISY WHISTLING NUISANCE I would like to suggest, writes a con tributor to the Railway Gazette, that as an improvement for whistles, a hood arrangement which would concentrate the noise of the whistle iu the direction in which it is most needed, would be a good thing.

An arrangement of this kind was in use for fog horns in the United States government service, and I understand is giving entire satisfac tion. For passenger engines the hood could be so as throw the entire sound This would protect the ears of passengers from much annoyance. On freight locomotives the hood might be arranged to be nuder the control of the engineer, so that the opening could be turned either forward or backward. George R. Henderson, who today be comes superintendent of motive power of the People.

H. Harriman, who controls the Southern Pacific. It is said to be Mr. Hays' intention to make the Grand Trunk control a transcontinental line through close connections with the Wisconsin Central. Duluth, Missabe and Northern, and the Canadian Pacific.

Such a Hne would hurt the Canadian Pacific fat; more than it would any of the American roads: but a conflict between the Grand Trunk and Canadian Pacific would naturally involve all the other transcontinental lines.

BEGIN YEAR'S WORK. Bureau of Associated Charities Will Open on Monday at City Council Rooms. The Bureau of Associated Charieties will open the second year's work on Monday, December 2nd. Mrs. Myra Marks, who has been named as the superintendent, will be in charge again this winter.

She will have her office in tbe rooms of the council and her hours will be from 9:30 to 10:30 a. m. and from 3 to 4 p. m. The work will be carried on systematically.

The plan is a good one. It was tried last winter and was found to be a most excellent way of getting at really deserving cases. Each case is carefully investigated and if found worthy will be given assistance. The idea of this bureau is to weed out pauperism and not encourage it. Will Try For Gas Again.
