UAILUOAD NOTES.
The Baltimore and Ohio railroad
is said to be in the market for 10.
000 freight cars, to be ordered In 1,
000 share lots.
The Illinois Central will begin
work in a few days on the new union
station at Memphis, Tenn., which will
be modeled after that of the 1'enn
sylvania in New York.
Coal mined in the likriiite fields
near Tono, Wash., If to be used for
fuel in place of oil on nearly all
freight engines of the Southern Pa
cific and the OroKon-Washingtun.
The latest innovation in passenger,
travel is the use of compressed air
whisk brooms by Pullman porters, to
present the raising of dust, when they
manipulate the passenger for a tip.
Another circular showing how to
save a nickel a day and what it means
to the company has been issued to
employes of the Rock Island and
points out other ways besides those
before mentioned in which this can
be done.
An order for S, 000, 000 feet of lum
ber has been placed by the Grand
Trunk at Seattle for railroad building
in British Columbit. It is said to be
the largest individual order ever re
ceived by a single firm in the I'uget
Sound country.
An appeal has been made to the
Public Service Commission of New
York to make some of the railroads
in the stte provide better station fa
cilities . for their passengers at the
small villages and towns of the state.
One complaint states that the only
depot for freight at an up-state town
is a discarded box car.
Under a new trackage contract with
the Chicago & Northwestern, travel
ers going to Portland on the North
Coast Limited of the Northern Pa
cific will soon be able to make the
journey without changing at St. Paul.
This will be a saving of time as well
as a great convenience to the pas
sengers traveling over that system,
many of whom objected seriously to
the change.
H. U. Mudge, president of the Rock
Island railroad has appointed a com
mittee whose investigations and re
ports will be watched with interest by
railroad officials throughout the
country. It is called an efficiency
committee, being composed of four
officers jf the company, with author
ity to inquire into all the affairs of
all departments and to suggest meth
ods of efficiency and economy.

124 Wert Court St.
Chicago. After climbing the fire
escape to the fifth floor of the Pal
mer house, entering two rooms and
procuring J30 cash, a watch and vari
our articles of feminine jewelry, while
the occupants slept, Frank Stopke, 11
years old, known as "Young Raffles"
among his dry goods box companions
of South Halsted street, was caught
by James Wood, night bell boy of
the hotel, just as he was emerging
from the doorway of room 595 at 5
o'clock yesterday morning.
Stopke squirmed past the bell boy
and made a dash for the stairs, but
before he reached the landing Wood
overtook him, grasped him aroung
the legs and, throwing him to the
floor, yelled for help. The noise ar
oused nearly all of the guests on the
fifth floor, and many of them hur
ried into the hall in their "nighties"
and pajamas to discover the cause of
so much commotion.
Their surprise was great when they
discovered that the desperado was a
mere boy, very dirty and very rag
ged, with a valuable gold watch dang,
ling from his pocket. Meantime the
night house detective arrived and the
roomers scurried back to their apart
ments. Young Stopke had been noticed
hanging around the hotel for several
days previous to his "clean up." Re
maining in a secluded spot in the al
ley at the rear of the hotel he waited
until all the lights were out and then
proceeded on his night raid.
The first room entered was. occu
pied by Mrs. A. II. Wilkins. The win
dow was open and the glittering jew
elry lying on the dresser looked in
viting. Trinkets worth $76 wen:
taken.
Stopke then ascended the fire es
cape to the room of Charles II. An
derson, a traveling man. The second
feat was not quite so easy, as the
window was only partly raised. Re
assured by his first victory, "Young
Raffles" cautiously raised the sash
and climbed in . He hastily divested
Anderson's pockets of $30 cash and
a gold watch.
So far everything had gone well.
Kut the young lad's next step was fa
tal. He started to go into the hall,
and just as he opened the door the
bell boy, with a pitcher of water fac
ed him. Wood nabbed Stopke and
called for help, which he needed as
the juvenile criminal put up a tough
fight to make his "get-a-way."
Stopke was held at the Palmer
house until the police called for him.
The money and valuables were re
stored to their owners and he was
then turned over to the Juvenile
home.
HOW ONE

fler Health and Strength Back
Again by The Use of Cardui.
Tampa, Fla. In a letter from this
city, Mrs. E. C. Corum writes: "I wag
all weakened and worn out with wo
manly troubles. My husband brought
me some Cardui as a tonic, and, from
the first day, it seemed to help.
I had almost lost my reason, hat,
thnr.ks to Cardui. I did not Soon, I
felt and looked like a new woman. I
think the remedy Is wonderful. I
recommend it to my friends, for I have
received great benefit from It"
Cardui acts specifically on the weak
ened womanly organs, strengthening
the muscles and nerves, and building
them tip to health.
It helpso refresh the worn-out ner
vous system and relieves the effects of
overwork, both mental and physical.
Fifty years' successful use fully
prove the merit of thla purely vege

In every community, there live soma
who have been benefited by Cardui.
The beneficial effects of this time

Snow-den, in explanation of her dam
age suit, brought ngainst her neigh
bor. Dr. Morton F. Dickenson of
Sleria.
Mrs. Snowden is the wife of Henry
C. Snowden, one of the righest men
of Medi.i, and member of the local
school board. The amount of mon
ey she demands is not known, since
the statement of claim is not to bo
filed until tomorrow by her counsel,
Henry L. Broomall.
The plaintif in the action, who is
one of the leading matrons of upper
Media circle, declared that recently
she was taking a bath and had just
left the tub.
As she was dressing, "Timmy" the
pet monkey of her neighbor, climbed
up the side of the house and pulled
open the blinds. Before Mis. Snow
den know the monkey was there, it
sneaked up to her and bit a piece out
of her ankle.
She kifked, she says, when she saw
the beast. It jumped away and out
of the window. Mrs. Snowden ran
screaming into the hall and there
fainted. She was found unconscious
by her maid.
Efforts were made by the Snowdens
to induce the Dickesons to get rid of
their pet. Mrs. Dickeson, a promi
nent member of the Media Woman's
club and a stickler for rights, refus
ed to part with "Timmy." She picked
up the monkey during a recent trip
to South America and regards his vis
It to the Snowden home as just one
of his innocent pranks.

TICKLES ANKLE TO LEARN
IF SKULL IS FRACTTHEI)
St. Louis, Mo. If you tickle your
ankle and your big toe turns upward
and the other toes spread outward,
your skull is fractured. Dr. C. G.
Chaddock, a member of the visiting
staff at the city hospital has tried his
discovery in 275 cases, and has not
failed once.
If your skull is intact the tickling
of the ankle will cause your toes to
turn downward and draw close to
gether. There's an exact spot on the ankle
where .you must tickle yourself to see
if there's a hole in your head. This
spot. Dr. Chaddock says, is a half
inch above the sole of the foot on the
inside portion of the ankle.
Before Dr. Chaddock made his dis
covery, which is startling the medical
world, it was the custom to rub the
hands over the man's head in an ef
fort to discover possible fractures.
But when patients are taken into the
city hospitals Dr. Chaddock tickles
their ankle with a little instrument
that resembles a pencil.
The spot on the ankle is closely
connected with brain through a cen
tral motjr track, Dr. Chaddock says.
This connection is a flection. But
when the skull is fractured the brain
i3 exposed, causing a reflection. Toes
drawn upward and spread outward
denote reflection annd .primarily, the
broken ukull.
Medical Journals have written Dr.
Chaddock to send them a detailed re
port on his discovery. Hablnsky was
the first to approach the present suc
cessful method. He tickled the sole
of the foot, but his plan failed In
many cases. Gordon compressed the
thighs and failed. Opponhelm tick
led the back of the calf of the legs
and failed.
We will get but two chances to
see the biggest show of its kind in
the world. This Is on June 27, when
Kit Carson's Buffalo Ranch Wild
West arrives for two performances.

Concerning Your Business
ll HE horse will finally drink even though it won't always do so when
led to water it s a ease ot must in time. So it is with producers
and marketers of wares, they will finally advertise, even though
they may not concede this necessity when invited it's a choice of
intelligent advertising as a means of economy or dronninn- behind
those who skillfully practice this most effective of all sales economies.
There are most excellent reasons for the annual expenditure of several
hundred millions of dollars for advertising space in newspapers, magazines
and other channels of publicity. '
Those who advertise are, as a rule, far more successful, and their success is
of a more permanent character than that of any equal number of non-advertisers.
It isn't the firm with surplus wealth that needs' intelligent advertising
most many of the world's largest and most pros peri, us concerns have speed
ily grown from obscurity and scant capital chiefly through intelligent adver
tising of good goods. Their advertising has been responsible for quickly gain
ing popularity with the public, and by the rapid turning over of money soon
provided the desired and enlarged capital.
ea- ...
Advertising is an economy it makes sales quickly, thus saving storage and
shelf room, besides keeping your help busy nil the time.
It multiplies the selling power of your salesmen and insures "the trade"
handling your product. Dealers always show a preference for goods well ad
vertised. They know a nimble sixpence is better than a slow shilling and so
do yon.
monopoly,
public eye
Advertising is the one powerful channel uncontrolled by a
through which any firm, largo or small, can effectively reach the
and purse, and upon the same equal basis.
It is the. open door through which success can be gained quickly and eco
nomically. It is Business Insurance.
To build a lighthouse and never put oil in the lamps would be as foolish
ns to prepare to do business and not advertise the public of the nature of your
sen-ice or the superior points in its favor. TTow many merchants can tell off
hand, all the articles they carry in stock ? Tf they do not know, how do they
expect the public at large to know? Its easy advertise in the East Oregon
ian, the paper that reaches more homes in Umatilla county than any other
2 papers combined.
Think this over carefully; see if there is not some article or department
in your store that can be made a greater "earner" by the application of a lit
tle well placed advertising. '
