A large percentage of the firemen be

work at 6 o'clock Sunday afternoon. Since
the strike occurred we have moved abso
lutely every passenger train on our lines.
A number' of them were run in several sec
tions and all practically made their sched

Antlct)atlng the possibility of adding to
the contention which la general on all the
liuea In this section at this time we gave
notice to connecting lines that temporarily
we would discontinue receiving freight
from them in oarload lota and also discon
tinue the receipt of live atock and perish
able freiaht on our llnea. We have, how
ever, been moving a large percentage of
our freight trains, giving preference to the
movement of local freight so aa to min
imise the Inconvenience to. local communl-
- 1 1-9. The situation la exceedingly favor
able and hourly urowlng better.
The trouble was caused entirely by the
ItxIltiK and controversy between the t

question of wages, hours or any individual
grievance la at Issue.

HIS NERVE SAVED HIS LIFE
(toick Wit and Wise Decision of a
Kansaa Boy rn Desperate
Enterarency.
Johnny Cleavlnger, the little son of a
prominent farmer of the Lowemont nelgh-
uornooa, near leavenworth. Kan., had a
thrilling escape from death. '
The boy was crossing a long trestle on the
Santa Fe track near Lowemont when he
suddenly caught sight of the "pollywog"
train bearing down upon him. He was In
the center of the trestle when he first saw
the train, and It was so cloee to him that
he knew It would be Impossible for him to
run to either end of the bridge and escape.
and It meant death or erloua Injury if he
Jumped to the creek bed, which was a die
tanoe of n)out twenty feet.
A thought quickly came to the boy that
If he would spread himself fiat n the
trestle between the rails the train would
pass over him and he would escape with
-out Injury. Like a shot he dropped, and
almost the instant he was down the heavy
train came thundering over him. The en
gineer stopped the train as quickly as pos
sible, but the last car had passed over the
boy and he hod seampertd over the trestle
before the trainmen reached him. He whs
not Injured In the least, and. to the sur
prise of everybody, he did not seem to be
badly frightened by his experience.
The boy Is about 1! .years of age. The
men who had charge of the train are will
ing to wager that there la not another boy
of 12 year In the whole world with more
nerve. Leavenworth Times.

SWINDLERS MADE $200 A DAY
Violent Hands Laid on Clever Get-Rlch-Qatclc
Scheme of Endleaa
Chain Variety.
A profit of $300 a day Is what the gov-
ernment secret service agents at Portland,
Ore., accuse N. C. Ilulln and a woman
passing as his wife of fraudulently making
j off the public.
The plan was to send out postal cards
from one of the two offices whlcA the
schemer maintained, telling the recipient
of a "valuable, unique and pleasant method
of obtaining money." The card set forth
that for a 50-eent consideration Ilulln will
end full directions.
In return for the 60 cents twenty-five
cards, beuring about the same information
tfat Hulin had on his postal card, were
ent. With the cards which were to he
sent to other prospective persona seeking
an easy road to wealth waa the Informa
tion that If the receiver did not know a
sufficient number of person to whom cards
could be sent, a list of names would be
furnished by the Pacific Letter bureau,
which Ilulln maintained, at the nominal
charge of (0 cent a hundred of $4.50 a
thousand.
After the person had received the card
and a list of names he was supposed to be
on the road to prosperity. All be had to do
was to send out the postal cards, receive
answer accompanied by 60-cent piece, and
return the same Information that he re
ceived from Ilulln. The scheme was one of
the endleaa chain variety and Hulin' vie.

HAS A REFINED fWHEELBARROW
Another Evidence that Hainan Intel
lect 1 Able to Overcome (
Dlfllcnltlea.
One would suppose that there was nothing
new .to be discovered In regard to wheel
barrows. People seem to have always had
wheelbarrows; that plain, unpretentious and
useful "Irish wagon." Even In China there
are wheelbarrows, and, for that matter,
they are the prevailing style of carriage
there.
But out In the little town of SUckton,
some four mile from here, there Uvea a
mechanical genius of the' name of Slever
Spellacjr, who ha Invented and patented a
most remarkable Improvement In wheel
barrows, doing away with a defect that has
existed most prominently In them since the
day when the first one was made and which
ha given sorrow and trouble to everyone
who ever used a wheelbarrow for work or
pleasure.
The constitutional defect and difficulty
which Mr, Spellacy haa met, grappled with
and overcome lie, a It haa always lain, In
the legs of the wheelbarrow, those useful
but obstreperous member of it anatomy.
everyone know how the leg of a wheel
barrow act. When a wheelbarrow Is loaded
up the person holding It always stacks up
the burden on the theory that a it I
stacked so It must ride, and there was
never a proposition laid down more base
less than this, for the exact opposite 1 the
only means of truth. '
The load 1 all right a long aa the bar
row Is standing still, but when we lift up
the legs so that we can trundle It away we
must, of necessity, tip the barrow far
enough forward so that the troublesome
legs will clear the ground and let ua pro
ceed, and the moment we do so the care
fully piled load, distributed as to Its sit
uation In regard to the horlxon, falls for
ward off the fron.t side of the wheelbar
row onto the ground In front of the wheel
and must be loaded on again; that Is, all
that part of It that will go and not fall
off again, for the second time we so pile
that load on we have remembered the
characteristic of the wheelbarrow and
leave quite a large part of the load oft.
Now, the Invention of Mr. Spellacy does
away with all this.
The legs of his wheelbarrow are hinged
to the body of the barrow and capable of
being turned forward and up against the
under side of the body, out of the way, so
that the barrow can be trundled along with
entire disregard of Its legs, and on the
same level that It stood on when the load
was plied up, with the result that we are
not taken In and deceived and can regulate
to an exact nicety how large a pile of
freight ilio barrow will stand wlthou tip
ping part of it off on the Journey.
There I a combination of strong springs
and other mechanism Just at th point
where the leg of the barrow Join the
body, so arranged that when the barrow
is loaded and It talu-s a load as heavy as
twenty-five pounds to work the machinery
the spring are set ready for action, and
there Is a connection running from the
anrliiKS to the handles of the wheelbarrow
and ending with some sittcns, or thumb
pieces on the handle that come just In
front of the thumbs when one' hand
grasp the bandies.
When the barrow la lifted Just enough to
ease the weight from the tegs, the thumbs
are pressed against the buttons, or thumb
pieces, and with a cherful snap the springs
do their work and slap the leg of the
barrow up against the lower side of the
body, entirely out of the way, and then,
again, when you are ready to set the bar
row down, either because you want to rest,
or because you have reached the end of
your Journey, there la Just enough power
left In the springs so that when you touch
the button again with tb nd of your
thumb, the legs snap back into plac
again and the barrow rests upon them,
the spring immediately being set again by
the weight of the load, so that If you de
sire to move on again the entire operation
may be repeated.
It Is a great Invention and plainly show
that with the lapse of the' year the
human intellect Is always at work, brush
ing away the moss-covered errors and
habits of the past and finding new beauty
and efficiency In even the common and
homely things of our environments. Balti

MEXICO'S ODD TREASURE TOWN
City Bnllt with Bricks of Gold
and Silver Goea to a
Smelter.
One read of romantic castles of silver
and palaces of gold, but they are the
dreams of fiction now they have discovered
something aa strange on the map of Mex
ico, The buildings of a whole town have
been bought at so much per ton, based on
assay from the adobe walla which give
gold and sliver values. This town is
Guanajuato's suburb, Tepetapa, a village
of about 300 houses, estimated at a value
of about $30,000, Mexican currency.
The value of this little town was revealed
when the Mexican Central decided to build
Into the city of Guanajuato, and to estab
lish a station there, running Into the heart
of the town. Instead of touching only at
Marfll, some kilometers distant. It was
found necessary to tear down about 300
buildings which have been built of the
slimes produced by the grinding of orts
from the numerous mines of the district.
Straw was mixed with the slime
and In this way the adobo bricks were
made. When It became known that the
Central would have to tear down these
houses an enterprising ore-buying company
asked for permission to assay ore taken
from the buildings. This was granted and
samples were picked from the walls at vari
ous height and on various sides of the
buildings, the assays running In value from
S3 to $24 per ton In gold and silver. The val
ues average about $8 gold per ton.
As the buildings were built In various
bonanza epochs. It was found that the val
ues varied to a large extent. For Instance,
a wall on one side of a house would awtay
a low value, whereas a wall on the other
side, built at an earlier or later time,
would assay a high value. A man's kitchen
might assay 60 cents per ton and his par
lor $60, or the window where the girl's
face Is seen may have been opened for the
pleasing pastime, presented at a consider
able loss to that ride of the house.
That the walls are found to contain more
gold than silver values Is due to the fact
that the old patio process of treating the
ore wae more effective In extracting silver
than gold values, and the slimes left were
richer In gold than sliver. It will be
harder to build such a town In the future,
aa the camp Is now fitted out with mod
ern appliances for treating ores. Hence
the houses now built of adobe lack tne
genuine wealth of the earlier home. A
man may no longer build his home of gold
and silver bricks.
There are now operating In Guanajuato,
or In course of construction, 6u0 stamps
and In six month there will be mors ore
worked than In any town In the republic.
Immense bodies of low grade ore, un
touched by the ancients, are being worked
by cyanldation. It appears that Guana
juato will change from a sliver to a gold
camD. because from 40 to 60 per cent of
the value left by the ancient are In gold
due to their primitive processes. Guana
juato ia the only town In the world In
which the houses are built of gold and
silver bricks the only town without pure,
unadulterated dirt. Mexican Herald,
