RAILROAD RACKET

The Kansas Central r.. r. Is TO be
made n standard gauge and extended
next season, ut least so rumor states,
This is the only narrow gauge road in
the State. and it is to be hoped that 1t
viii be the last, In mountainous
country those narrow roads are quite
practical on account of the short curves,
but on the bosom of broad level conn
try like Kansas, they are too much on
the TOY order.
The Union Pacific Railway are pro-
posing to extend the line now being
constructed from 5alina to Lincoln, on
up the Saline valley to Russell, and
possibly on through to Ness City. A
meeting was held in Russell the other
evening, and a committee appointed to
cooperate with the railroad company.
a party Of railroad surveyors consist

Grain6eld, chairman. were in town on
Friday and Saturday of last week and
left for Colby Sunday morning. They
surveyed one line from Sand Creek into
Kenneth and reported a grade of fifty
five feet 30 the mile. Mr.. Brown stated
that his party was making a prelimi-
nary survey from Great Bend, on the
a. T. & S. F. railway, to northwest
Kansas, but was very reuceut as to the
object or under what auspices il was
being made.-Kenneth Sentinel.
A meeting Of the directors Of the To-
peka & Denver air line railway was

As our Neighbors See Us.

The growth of Philips county IS truly
remarkable. In every portion of this
fair county one can hear of improve
ments. Phillipsburg, the county seat,
has grown more this year than has ever
before been known in history. More
buildings have been erected, and trade
has more than doubled and although
without railroad facilities, with rumors
now and then Of the coming of the s'iron
horse, there is more genuine grit and
energy IN her people then in a dozen
eastern county seats. Having waited so
long without a railroad, her people are
anxious to donate aid to in any scheme
that will bring them a road. Next year
two banks will erect commodious brick
ard stone blocks, while several Of the
citizens will also build. During the fall
there has been an exclusive boot and
shoe store started, the only one of the
kind west of Beloit; another new gen
eral store has started up; ceveraI other
/ lesser establishments have opened busi-
ness, and Phillipsburg presents more
thrift and enterprise than has been
known for many years. The people
viii hold on until they get a railroad
and when once assured, Phillipsburg
will naturally become one of the best,

FROM LIFE TO DEATH

is but moment if rheumatism or neural
gia strikes the heart. These diseases are
the most painful and the most dangerous
of any to which human kind is liable.
They fly from one part to another without
moments warming, and liniments and
other outward applications are in them
selves dangerous because they are liable to
drive the disease to some vital organ and
cause instant death. Rheumatism and
neuralgia are diseases of the blood, and can
only be reached by a remedy which will
drive from the blood the dangerous acids.
Such remedy is Athlophoros. 1t las been
