GEORGE H. NETTLEToN DEAD.
The President of the Kansas City. Fort
Scott g. Memphls Railroad Passes AWAY.

The President of the Kansas City, Fort
Scott a Memphis Railroad Passes Away.
KANSAS CITY, Mo-, March 27.-George
Henry NettletCn, president and gen
eral manager of the Kansas City, Fort
Scott & Memphis railroad, died at
eight minutes to eight o'clock last
night at his home in this city, sur
rounded by members of his family and
several near friends. He was 65 years
old, and was born in Massachusetts
In 1854 he came west and sought em-
ployment as a civil engineer.
George II. Nettleton was well enti-
tied to be called the pioneer railroad
man of Kansas City. For nearly 40
years he was prominently identified
with the railroad interests in Missouri,
and during most of that time his in
terests were directly connected with
those of Kansas City. He made the
preliminary survey for the Kansas City
& Cameron branch of the Hanni-
bal & St. Joseph railway, the first road
that reached the struggling little town
at the mouth of the Kaw. Later he
was connected with the Santa Fe sys-
TEN as general superintendent at
time when that great road was doing
so much to extend and develop the
trade of Kansas City with the west and
southwest
Mr. Nettleton has left one monu-
ment of his ability and far-sightedness
as a railroad man that is imperishable
in the conception and building of the
great Memphis system, which is the
connecting link between Kansas City
and the Gulf and the Atlantic sea-
board. Almost single handed, in the
face of sometimes apparently insur-
mountable obstacles, in the midst of
discouragements, he built up this great
system, now more than !, 200 miles in
length, which, when he assumed the
management, comprised only about
l6o miles of poorly equipped road
between Kansas City and Baxter

MAY TALK WITH MARS.


Wonderful Possibilities In the Latest Dis
coyery OF Nikola Tesla.
New YORK. March 27.-Nikola Tesla's
latest announcement is likely to at
tract more attention among scientists
and layme than Roentgen's y rays,
the electric light, or even the tele-
phone, for it means, possibly, that at
last a method has been found by which
the inhabitants of this earth may ulti-
mately communicate with those on
Mars, or any other planet. Mr.. Tesla
believes that such n thing is now
possible and in a short time we may
be on speaking terms with other
planets, made by means of cleo
trio waves. But even il the people
of Mars are not of sufficient intelli-
gence to understand the signals or
communications from Mr.. Tesla, the
discovery will be useful as a means of
transporting messages to all parts of
the earth simultaneously. Such a
means of communication without
wires would be of the greatest i'm
portance in the transmission of news
in times of war or endemic

Cause of Senator Davis Withdrawal

WAsHINGToN, March 27.-The with
drawal of Senator Cushman X. Davis,
of Minnesota, from the list of presi-
dental candidates is attributed to the
labor organizations During the great
railroad strike of two years ago Sem
ator Davis received a telegraphic ap-
peal from labor leaders in st. Paul
asking him to take the part of Debs.
He replied sharply, declaring his opin-
ion that the strike should be crushed
If it took the whole power of the gov
ernment This answer is said to have
been used against Davis in the recent
campaign for delegates.

GladneSS Comes

With n better understanding of the
w transient nature of the many phys
ical ills, which vanish before proper ef-
forts-gentle efforts pleasant efforts
rightly directed. There is comfort in
the knowledge, that so many forms OF
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease, but simply to a constipated condi-
ton of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs, prompt
ly removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families, and is
everywhere esteemed so highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without debilitating the
organs on which it acts. 1t is therefore
all important, in order to get its bene-
fetal effects, to note when you pur-
chase. that you have the genuine arti-
Gle, which is manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co. only and sold by
all reputable druggists.
If in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, laXatives or
other remedies are then not needed. If
afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended to the most sllillful
physicians. but if in need of a laxative,
one should have the best, and with the
wcll-informed everywhere, Syrup of
Figs stands highest and Is most largely
used and gives most general satisfaction
