FONTAXELLE CLUB SESSION
Member! Listen to Praise of the Party' i
Regular Homineei.
SENTIMENTS IN FAVOR OF WHOLE TICKET
Speaker Vrge Loyal Rapport tor All
Nominee and General lentl-
ward End.
If the sentiments expressed by tha speak
ers at Saturday night's meeting of the fon
tanels club may be taken as a criterion, the
members of that organisation will stand
for the entire republican ticket at the forth
coming election.
Robert Smith was chairman for the even
ing. F. S. Howell was the principal
speaker. Mr. Howell Intimated that there
was some question as to the fairness of
R. B. Howell's defeat at the primaries;
otherwise he expressed It as his opinion
that the recent primary was the fairest
the republicans had ever had, and, there
fore, the ticket commanded the support of
every republican voter. He said: "I am
neither advocating the election of Mr.
Howell or Mr. Weller; let the people settle
that question. Howell, however, does not
seem to be the candidate of organized re
publicanism, while Weller does seem to be
the candidate of organized republicanism."
Mr. Howell indulged in considerable lev
ity with the World-Herald and made a
number of personal allusions to a World
Herald reporter who was present.
No Excuse for Knifing-.
"Why should any man on the republican
ticket be knifed because he Is supported
by ai.y particular man?" continued Mr.
Howell. "Where Is the democrat who will
pledge himself, If elected, to vote for a re
publican at Lincoln T Rosewater Is not aa
bad as painted by his enemies, and not as
good as pictured by his friends. I have
heard It said by some that they would
scuttle John L. Kennedy because Rose
water wanted him In congress. To such
I would say that no man controls J. L.
Kennedy. I have heard others say they
would cut that part of the legislative ticket
supported by Rosewater. To such I would
ask, 'What part of the republican struc
ture will you have left if you continue
this knifing?'
"Let us get out and vote the republican
ticket from top to bottom; let us not be
dominated by selfishness or petty motives.
While I do not think the republicans had
a fair shake In the matter of water com
missioner, we must not let that Influence
us In voting the ticket from top to bot
tom." Robert Cowell made a short talk, saying
In part: "I am not here to throw a fire
brand Into your camp, but rather to throw
oil on the troubled waters. Let us sink
our prejudices and do all we can for the
ticket. No primary was more free from
fraud than the last one."
Chairman Smith then took occasion to
say he thought the club had been lectured
without occasion, and that he felt sure
there was not one member of the club who
is not supporting John L. Kennedy.
Kennedy Expresses Confldence.
John L. Kennedy was called on for a
talk. "When I waa nominated," said Mr.
Kennedy, "I said at Washington hall that
the republican party then was better or
ganized than ever beforo In Omaha, and I
am still firm in that conviction. I have
never doubted the loyalty of the Fontanelle
club, of which I am a member. If the
democrats would go to work and endeavor
to build up their party Instead of trying to
tear down the republican party, they might
have something of a party. Let us elect the
republican candidates without any interfer
ence from tho other party."
E. A. Benson said: "I did not come here
to create any more disturbance, but with
the hope that the club will support every
republican candidate I do not think any
one attachea much weight to what the
World-Herald says about us."
Judge W. W. Slabaugh. C. L. Saunders,
B. F. Thomas, C. J. Anderson. Dr. H. P.
Foster and Michael Lea made short talks
In the order named.
But little reference was made during the
evening to R. B. Howell's candidacy for
water commissioner, the subject that en
grossed the attention of the club tho week
before. Mr. Howell left the hall during
the early part of the session.

JUGGLES WITH COAL CARS
Bis; Machine Which Handles Them ns
if They Were Mere Match
Boxes.
Of all the time saving and labor saving
appliances which are enabling the twentieth
century American to do his . work more
quickly and more cheaply than it was ever
done before, none perhaps are more re
markable than the Ingenious "car dump
ers" or car dumping machines, the function
of which is to quickly transfer the contents
of railroad cars to the cargo holds ot
freight carrying ahlpa. There are In use
in this country half a dozen different styles
of these machines, each excellent In ita
way, but representing a atep in the evolu
tion ot this class of machines, for the de
velopment of the car dumper, during the
comparatively few years It has been in
progress, has been a very rapid one.
The fundamental principle ot all car
dumpera la the same. Each different type
of machine serves to overturn a loaded
coal car completely, or at least sufficiently
to allow its contents to either fall directly
Into the open hold of a vessel or into a
huge metal pan suspended from the ma
chine and from which the fuel slides
through s chute Into the vessel. The latter
method is employed in the machines of
most recent design because of the fact that
It reduces to a minimum the breakage of
the coal.
Probably tha character of the car dump
ing machine and the scope of Its work may
be best outlined by giving a brief descrip
tion of one of the most successful of the
machlnea recently erected apparently In
stalled by tha United Sttrtee Steel Corpora
tion, commonly known as the Steel trust
This machine ia guaranteed to transfer
fifteen cars of coal per hour to vessels, but
experience hit proven that nearly double
that number of cars can be handled under
favot able conditions.
Cars to be unloaded are first run down an
incline and upon being cut loose run Into a
klck-up track. As the car passes under an
overhead tank tha coal la wetted and then
by a hauling system tha car la brought
under the eradle of the machine. As this
cradle tips the csr is clamped to tha track.
The tipping of the car sends the coal Into
a pan, which also tips correspondingly,
thus preventing any excessive breakage of
ths coal.
As ths pan fills It Is lowered back Into a
bnrlsontal position, and thus the coal la
transferred gradually to the vessel. The
eradle has also been meanwhile lowered
back Into poattlon and a loaded car pushes
tha empty one out. Ths door In the pan
through which the coal passes to the chute
which conveys It to the boat opens suto
matlcally when the pan strikes ths chute.
The ed of the chute Is telescopic and may
thua bt adjuated to any easel. The car
dumper nroper Is operated by an enelne
16x11 inch This tips ths ear and hoists
L
the pan. Another engine ot 12x16 inches
hauls the car into the cradle, and the
telescopic apparatus is operated by an en
gine of 6x8 Inches. Steam is supplied from
a 150-horeepower watei tube boiler. Phll

TRAMPS ON THE RAILROADS
Perilous Chances Takes by Hohoea
While Hiding; on the Rods
of a Train.
According to a conductor whose run Is
west from Chicago no feat performed by
the tramp while beating his way on a
railroad equalB In daring that known ot
the road as "decking the train." To deck
a train one rides on top of the cars a
sleeper, preferably, since the method Is
one employed only at night. Its great ad
vantage over other positions is that here
the tramp traveler may squat undisturbed
at all stops. Fiat on the car top, on tha
darker side ot the station, he usually es
capes detection; more often, at any rate,
than the man who dismounts at every
station.
Once on top, therefore. It may be an all
night ride, for the only men whose eyes
fall on these car roofs In the ccu:ee of
rgular business are those who once In a
while refill the Ice water tanks, which
oftentimes open on the roof. Either the
vestibule work on the end sleeper or the
stepladder on the engine tender will serve
as a stepping stone to the car top, al
though there are men nimble enough to
scale the height from a vestibule platform.
In any case, the succe sful r der needs
move quickly and unobserved, mindful nil
the time that one misstep may mean death
by the wheels.
On deck the passenger finds security in
clinging, perhaps, to a small gaspipe r.ot
unlike a fly on the back of a trotter ex
posed t6 burning cinders, a wind of hur
ricane force and the fatal swinging curves.
On these same fast trains, as well as on
slower passengera, tramps ride "blind
baggage" day and night. To go blind bag
gage la to ride the front end ot a bag
gage car, which, ordinarily, haa a platform,
but no doorway. With the end of tha car
thua built solid, hobo travelers on tht
platform have an excellent lounging pUce,
out of Immediate aight of the engineer and
fireman, and yet affording all the beauty
nf flnotfna- landscape without any of the
Inconveniences of an overcrowded day
coach. Chicago Chronicle.
