A few days ago the Gazette publish
ed an interview had with Receiver
Morgan Jones of the Fort Worth and
Denver, In Denver. In which II was
stated the rate Into Texas would be re-
duced.
Yesterday the Gazette representative
called on Colonel Jones and questioned
him as to the authenticity OF the in
terview. Colonel Jones was somewhat
averse to being interviewed on the
subject. but said the Denver Interview
was partially correct, but had been
somewhat warped in the handling.
colorado has produced an Immense
CROP. OF potatoes this year" he said,
and they are so cheap as to barely
pay the cost OF digging, What / said
IN Denver was that II 1t was absolute
~ necessary TO lower freight rates
into Texas In order to move those pa
tatoes, the Fort Worth and Denver
would reduce the rate, which Is already
a low one, sufficiently to carry those
potatoes to market.
You know the Fort Worth and
Denver by virtue OF crop failures in
the Panhandle, has had Its earnings
seriously Impaired. We are not able
to make much, IL any. reduction in
rates, and don't want TO have to IL,
but II II Is necessary In order TO save
those Colorado potatoes, | suppose we
Will have to do IT,"
Colonel Jones did not state that there
would be any immediate action.

THE COMING OF The COLD
And The Danger. That It brings To
So Very Many.

Winter Is cOmingI ,,
Indeed. some OF our great scientific
men assert that the approat hing VIM
ter Will be one OF the severest on rec
ord.
The winter is always dangerous. al
though too many people ior1et this inn
portant fact. Toe mildest winter
causes more deaths than the hottest
su amer. 1t has almost be1ome II pro.
verb that cold weather Kills. And
why does 1t kill2
Because so many people a'e In no
condition TO pass through severe
winter. They complain OF tired ieel-
in IS, they suffer from billousness, pains
near the heart, headaches, backaches
and seem to lack their customary tn
ergy. Cold weather. instead OF braciny
them up only makes them feel languld,
irritable, nervous and depressed
And that ls Just where the danger
lies People who feel like this are rum
ming some vely grave risks. The
chances are that possibly 50 per cent
OF the people who suffer from the eff
fects OF approaching winter Will never
see It's end unless they exercise the
greatest care.
But there Is way to avoid these
dangers. BY building up the system.
restoring healthy action to the liver
and Kidneys. freeing the blood from
impurities and regainlng renewed
strength, the perlls Of winter can be
safely encountered To do this a suit
able remedy must be taken. and there
is nothing for the purpose that can be
compared with Warmers SAFE Cure,
because its effects are immediate and
lasting. As u means of restoring lost
vitality and promoting the general
health this grand remedy has neN or
been equallei. That Is why II is so
universally prescribed by physicians
and druggists, who know from exre-
rlence that IL can always be depended
upon. II you are suffering from any
OF the symptoms that denote weakness,
you need to regain health, and Warn
er's Safe Cure will speedily help you
to regain 1t.

NOTHING IN IT.
visit of Rock Island omcinls to Dali
las Nas for Pleasure.

Island officials from Chicago went over
TO Dallas and spent the day In that
sleepy burg. From some cause or 9TH
er the idea got out that this visit was
for the purpose Of making an investi-
cation as to the advisabllity OF ex-
tending the line to that point. 1nvesti-
cation yesterday revealed the fact that
no Importance was attached to the
visit. The Rock Island has entered In
10 very strong traffic alliance with
the Texas and Pacific, and the visiting
dlgnltaries only went over to pay their
respects and form the acquaintance of
their Texas brethren.
1t Is known that Dallas mouth Is
watering for the Rock Island. but the
indications are that pale Luna will
wax and wane many times before she
obtains the coveted blessing.
