VArWSVS 1 THE WORLD HO ADS CIIOKKD II V I ItOSrnitlTV. All Over the Country the Railroad Are Illoeked Vllh Hualnea. United efforts of the railroad otllolals and the large car companies to relieve the freight congestion In the large cities throughout the country have proven fruitless, and prosperity has tho various lines choked with tratlic. For .'JO miles or more outside of the city of Pittsburg the side tracks are crowded with laden cars waiting for shipment, while many cars of perish able products are going to loss on ac count of non-delivery. Chicago Is experiencing the worst congestion of freight tratlic In its his tory, except In times of a widespread strike. This condition, say railroad of llclals, is well nigh universal through out the country. . The railroads are now handling tho greatest merchandise movement in their history, a soft coal movement larger than ever known In any former years, which has begun to move freely ahead of time. The crops of the middle west and northwest are above the average, and these alone are sufficient to produce a congestion for months to come. To add to other troubles, there is a great shortage In rolling stock. It Is estimated by conservative traf fic men that the demand for ears to move the traffic which Is now being of fered for transportation is fully oO.OOO In excess of the supply. Armour Plant Humeri.

FROM ALL OVER MICHIGAN AMMIF.WS IX JACKSOX. A Model of Coolness nnd Propriety. Frank C. Andrews, Detroit's ex millionaire, ex-banker, ex-polltlclan, ex-commlssloner of police, has gone to Jackson prison ami is No. 774.'5. After n wearisome struggle to obtain bond aggregating $200,000 he finally gave up and has gone to the penetentlary, where, unless a new trial Is granted him, he has entered on a se rvice of 15 years. Andrews maintained his calm exterior to tho last. Mrs. Andrews bade her husband good-bye at the De troit Jail at 7 p. in. and returned to her home. At midnight the prisoner was taken to the depot and departed at 1 a. m. for the prison city. Just one man of all those who had called them selves hi friend was at the train to see him oft and that man was Will Al len, the evangelist, whom Andrews while police commissioner had arrested several times. The magnificent poise of Andrews Is a matter of surprise even among the prison officials, accustomed as they are to the assumed courage of newly ar rived prisoners. It Isn't bravado either, but simply a manly determination to live the best that he can In tho midst of his unattractive environments. After he was left alone Wednesday night Andrews, a "freshle" in prison parlance4, slept calmly. Karly Thurs day morning he was given breakfast in his cell. While the coffee Is not such as a millionaire Is accustomed to, yet it is not bad and furthermore the broad provided Is sweet and nutritious. This noon Andrews Joined his com rades, representing all classes of crime, and marched to the prison din ing room, where he partook of the plain fare. While his appetite was not as keen, perhaps, as that ef the men who had been engaged at bard work during the day. yet the Inward re pugnance which he must have feit was not visible. Warden Vincent had a short talk with Andrews this morning during which the latler expressed hi lnte'iitlon of obeying the rules and of being a model prisoner. "I shall not violate the rules nor ask anyone to violate them in my behalf," he said. Illtten by n Und Don;.

Roth arms and both legs were also badly bitten. One of the attending physicians saiel to night that the e-ity is liable to have a bad nest of hydrophobia on Its hands. Men with shotguns and revolvers and police officer attempted to kill tin dog, but were not successful. Officer Laduko was In hot pursuit for two or three hours ami had almost overtaken the animal when darkness came en and the cur disappeared in the under brush in tho outskirts of the city. A Queer Klopement. Mr. and Mrs. Clay Kingsley, of Salem, Mich., have run away. On October 2S Clay hitched up tho family nag and ho and his wife In their best store clothe drove away, the? wife calling ba k to the hired man, as they passed out of the barn yard, that they would be baeii to supper. Since then. (May and his wife have not been back, and the relatives who set out to ascertain their whereabouts have only been able to learn that they drew $500, which they had in the bank nt Salem, left the horse and buggy at Plymouth, and took a train. Some of tho neighbors who came to Detroit n few days later have an idea that they saw Clay and hi wife on Wemdward avenue, all toggeel out in new fixings, and. working on the theory that they mv In Detroit now. the relatives have set out to find them and inquire if they are going back to the farm. "We haven't any Idea of foul play." said Clay's sister, "but we can't see what on earth they wanted to elope like that for.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA V. of M. Team AVInners. Michigan University football team nsserted Its supremacy over Chicago Satunlay in a telling manner. The final score was Michigan., 21; Chicago, 0. It was a clean, fast and hard game from start to finish. Tho field was In such condition that both teams showed their best work. The western football championship will be fought out In Detroit on Thanksgiving day. Saturday's results at Chicago and Minneapolis eb-cided this. Michigan has defeated Wiscon sin and Chicago, and Minnesota, the only contender, and Michigan's last op ponent of 11102, has now beaten Wis consin. In tiie event of Michigan's vic tory over Minnesota, the western championship roes to Ann Arbor. On the same day Chicago meets, Wiscon sin, and should she win she would, with Minnesota defeated, probably claim second place, her victory over Wisconsin putting her on a par In one sense, while the fact that Minnesota had been twice defeated, once by Ne braska, would be argued against any claim of tie for second. Minnesota, however. If vic torious here, w ill be con ceded the championship.' Chicago, if defeated, will drop to fourth place. Minnesota's record against Wiscon sin Is better. In the matter of points, than. that made by Michigan. Wiscon sin, however, was a weakened team, trained for the Michigan game. She had passed lier best point, and was, in addition, minus Juneau, her captain, and admittedly the star Individual per former of the Michigan-Wisconsin game. The scores bearing on the champion ship race are: Michigan 0, Wisconsin o; Minnesota 11, Wisconsin 0; Michi gan 21, fa lea go 0.

A row of piles had been driven along the bae of the embanknieMit. and laborers were at work eligging a trench along the- inside of the piles in order to set a heavy sheeting of plank well down in the earth. Without a liionie nt's warning tons of earth were precipitated upon the men In the t reii.ii. burying them out of sight. The other men, realizing that every moment of time was precious, set to worl; to dig them out and summon medical and othT assistance. After 1" minutes of vigorous work the head of the first man was uncov ered, but he was insensible. The last man was not dug out until nearly a half hour later. All were insensible. No bo'hes wen broken, but one of them was struck several times on the head by the shovels of the rescuer. Their escape from death Is consid ered almost miraculous. AxNnulted the Teucher. Harold K.

They would, like me, be more than surprised. My back annoyedrine for years. Physicians who diagnosed my case said it arose from my kidneys. When the grip was epidemic I was worn out with constant nursing, and when I contracted it myself it left me in a very serious condition. I could not straighten nor do the most trivial act without being in torture. The kid neys were too active or tho secretions were too copious, and I knew what was wrong, out how to right it was a mystery. It seems odd for a profes sional nurse, who has had a great deal of experience with medicines, to read advertisements about Doan's Kidney Pills la the newspapers, and it may uppear more singular for me to go to H. H. Hay & Son's drug store for a box. But l did, however; and bad anybody told me before that it was possible to get relief as quickly as I did I would have been loth to believo it. You can send anyone who wishes more minute particulars about my case to me, and I will be only too glad to tell them personally. As long as I live I will be a firm advocate of Doan's Kidney Pills."
