FRISCO IN RECEIVERS HANDS.
St. Louis, May 27.—Thomas H.
West, chairman of the board of direc
tors of the St. Louis Trust Company,
and B. L. Winchell, president of the ;
St. Louis and San Francisco Railroad
Company, were appointed receivers
for the railroad in the United States i
District Court here late today.
Appointment of the receivers here
took place about an hour after ap-1
pointment of ancillary receivers for
the Chicago and Illinois, a subsidiary
of the Frisco, by. the United States
District Court in Chicago.
Application for the appointment of
receivers for the St. Louis and San
Francisco railroad was made to Cir
cuit Judge Walter H. Sanborn who
came here from St. Paul today to
hear the Frisco matter, by the North
American Company, which is said to
be a creditor of the Frisco to the ex
tent of $400,000. A receivership was
urged as the only solution of the finan
cial difficulties of the road by James
Campbell of St. Louis, president of
the North American Company.
THAT TRIAL AT BOSTON.
The trial of William M. Wood, pres
ident of the American W,oolen com
pany, and others, at Boston, Massa
chusetts, for conspiracy to discredit
organized labor during the textile
strike of 1912, is developing highly
interesting features. Witnesses for
the prosecution have testified that at
the instigation of the defendants, and
upon the promise of money, they
planted dynamite in buildings occu
pied by the strikers, not with the in
tention of exploding it, but that later
it might be “discovered” by the au
thorities and used to influence pub
lic opinion against the unions and
other labor organizations who were
engaged in the battle for higher
wages and better conditions at the
places of their employment. Of
course, the testimony so far has been
erne-sided, but efforts of the attor
neys for the defense has failed to dis
credit seriously any of the tales that
have been told.—Fort Smith Times
Record.

ALL WASTE NERVOUS ENERGY
Everywhere People Squander Their
Foroe Needleeely Inetead ef Care
fully Husbanding It,
People should be as careful of their
tsrvous energy aa of their money,
says an English writer. Yet we all
waste It. At the telephone people talk
twice as loudly and energetically aa Is
necessary. That Is to say, th<*v we
op twice me much nerre energy aa
Ihey need. Three-fourths of thoae
who have to catch trains every morn
ing spend as much nervous force In
one day as should last a week.
Then, In the streets, watch how peo
, pie jostle and push, and what a lot
of nerve-force they spend at danger
ous crossings. Why not walk slowly
when there Is obstruction, and wait for
I the quiet moment, which always
comes, at the crossing? Everywhere
people hurry without need, getting In
i to a state of nervous tension when
leaving theaters, boarding omnibuses,
going to lunch, and especially whet.
| leaving for a holiday.
| Remarkable Popular ignoram-e.
Some one has remarked that at
the height of Napoleon’s fame there
were men In the back alleys of Paris
•who had never heard hls name. This
Illustration of popular Ignorance wa«
recalled by a judge who was eiamtn
Ing candidates for cttlsenship In New
York city recently. He asked one of
these prospective oltlaens, “Who Is
the head of your native country r
"The king." “Who become# the head
when he dleer "Hie son." "And
whe la the head of this country?"
"The president" “And who would
become the l*ead If he dledT* “Hls
•OB." And yft, as the judge remark
ed, all these men know enough to
earn their dally bread—the rest Is s
matter of schooling

Everybody Likes Music.
From the birth of Adam to
the present day, man has shown
a desire for music, even among
the uncivilized tribes of the
Eastern Hemisphere, they make
weird sounds that seem to have
charms to soothe. We owe most
of our musical education to the
Greeks, according to musical
history. With the advancement
of the world, our musical talents
have also advanced, until today,
small boys are found who can
read music as readily as a grown
person of a few years ago. Pe
ter Kramer from The House of
David, at Battle Creek, Michi
gan, won the highest honors in
his class last year, which speaks
very complimentary of his tal
ents. He is spending his sum
mer vacation with the King
Bros. Texas Ranger Show,
which plays here Friday, May
30. He is conducting the band,
which plays a concert on the
streets at 3 p. m. (Adv.)
