meeting of whist club for the season,
says the Beacon. In rash moment he
said: To finish up with, we ought to
have fine dinner at one of the hotels,
and make up a nice theatre party af-
forwards" The ladies all took him at
his word, and went home and wrote
him notes of thanks, saying they were
all ready to accept for any date he
might name. The poor man thinks up

In certain regimental mess in In

vast round of beef for that days din
ner, and seated on the beef a little
naked black boy, kicking his little

Cold and La Grippe .

The season for colds and lagrippe
has now arrived.
La Grippe is paralysis of the
sympathetic nervous system, with
local evacerbatioDs. 1t is this that
accounts for its multiform manifesto
tions-as, general debility, colds
pneumonia, stomach trouble, hea t
failure, ETC., the weakest organ in the
body being generally the point of
attack.
All the treatments are sympathetic
stimulants and tones, and the most
active and available Of these are:
Triquimia Pain Specific, a tablet
every three or four hOuIs,(5O cts a
box.)
. If there is a cold take Triquimla
Cough Cure, tablet alternately with
the Pain Specific. rs cents a box.)
The above is the treatment for or
binary cases, and usually cures in
about twelve hours.
In complicated cases other remedies
are required.
If the lungs ase seriously involved
apply mustard plaster, or Triquimla
Ointment, which is better. $50 cents
a tube
II there is much nervous depression
take a tablet of Triquimia Vital
alum after each meal. 80 cents a
box.
The above treatment will cure the
worst cases.
If there are symptom Of malaria
and no cold. omit the Cough Cure and
take Ague Cure. rs cents a box.)
In all cases the Pain Specific is to be
continued in conjunction with the
other remedies here prescribed. II

Mr.. Stillwell also early recognized
that the only way by which the west
ern farmer could reduce his freight
charges would be by reducing the dis
lance OF the haul to market, and that
this could be done only by finding a
port Of shipment nearer to the pro-
Queer than are the Atlantic ports.
Thus he was led to closely scrutinize
| the advantages Of the gulf ports, and
few years ago he began, with the aid
of f. L. Martin, prominent business
man of Kansas City, to plan for the
construction Of an air line railroad
from Kansas City, 7S5 miles to the
nearest point on the gulf, and this
point proved to be Port Arthur, be-
tween New Orleans and Galveston.
Port Arthur is located on Lake Sabine,
from which runs Sabine Pass, a deep
water channel to the gulf of Mexico,
twelve miles distant. Robert Gill.

erly newspaper man of prominence
in Kansas City, and now at the head
of the department of publicity of the
new railroad, that not a dollar of gov
ermental or state aid was asked, not
an acre of landerant, no gratuities or
benefits from federal or state authori-
ties, and it is not remarkable that the
work has been so thoroughly done as
to command the admiration of the
most experienced civil engineers.
The new railroad runs in a line
almost straight from Kansas City to
the gulf. A connection of its own
takes it into Omaha, 1t parallels no
other road, for there is no other like
it. Its direct tributary country EN-.
braces North and South Dakota.
Minnesota, Iowa. Missouri, Nebraska,
Kansas, Mississippi, Indian Territory,
Arkansas, Louisiana and Texas. And
it will not be unfair to include all
that well.Settled and older section of

branch OF It's own with all the rail-
roads centering in Omaha, Des Moines
and Quincy ILL.,, and it now connects
at eight points between Kansas CITY
and Port Arthur with the most
important southwestern railroads.
New York may well begin to study
this new and novel situation. Sabine
Pass and the gulf apparently have
not entered into New YOrk's calcule-
lions, perhaps from the fact that ten
years ago tidal wave well nigh swept
away the town of Sabine Pass. But
it did not sweep away the channel to
gulf. Nor will any tidal wave sweep
away Port Arthur, for this new city
on the gulf has been located on the
highest ground along the coast.
II New York appreciates the stu.
alton no time will be lost 10 arranging
for freight lines direct tc Port Arthur.
Work on the new canal and the
admirable system of docks and termi-
nails at Port Arthur will be completed
In great part within a year. The
interval will give those who are
interested inmaintaining New York's
commercial supremacy abundant time
to survey the situation and adapt
themselves to it. First of all, let
New York reduce its port charges;
next, let New York put on a fast
freight line Of steamers to Port
Arthur. Such line would find here
not only cargoes of timber. cattle,
cotton, corn, wheat, lead, Zinc and
other commodities for domestic and
foreign consumption, but also great
quantities Of early fruits and vegeta-
bles; for all the enormous stretch of
rich, black land in the vicinity of
Port Arthur is being rapidly taken up
for garden farming. Within a year
it has increased in value from 81 tos35
per acre, and an agricultural ex-
pertinent station established by the
railroad at this point shows what can
be done. The rich. heavy soil will
yield three crops year. Strawberries,
radishes, cabbages and similar garden
products are growing in profusion in
and about Port Arthur at this time.
New York may close its eyes to the
realities of the situation, but Others
do not. The English vice consul at
Kansas City, in recent official report,
said:
"The gulf export business that was
predicted for years has become a
reality. 1t is the natural result of a
business trend that long ago was
inevitable to the people of the south
and west, but it is even now hardly
appreciated by the laFe region and
east coast markets."
In a recent address before the
Commercial club Of st. Louis Mr.. C.
E. Finney, freight traffic manager of
the Consolidated Kansas City smelling
and refining company, called attention
to most important fact In connection
with the gulf ports when he said:
"The Nicaragua cannal will be |
built at no distant day. To-day |
Liverpool is 200 miles nearer to China |
and Japan than is New York, Via |
the Nicaragua canal New York will |
be as near as Liverpool to China, and
will be 1000 miles nearer to Australia
and 1000 niles nearer than Japan.
The gulf ports will be 700 miles nearer
than New York to all these places.
We shall ere long, become a factor in
the commerce of South America,
Australia and the orient"

finally, through the pine and oak

= Kansas City, which, exclud-

way and its timber grants, and they
are holding them for solid and sub
stantial rise.
The dream Of the Mississippi valley
for years has been the construction of
a north and south railroad, and the
dream of every one Of the half-dozen
deep water harbOrS on the Texas
coast has been that it should be the
terminus of the new road. 1t re-
quired an expenditure of nearly seven
million dollars to secure between
twenty and twenty-five feet of water
at Galveston, and something less than
two million to secure the same depth
at Sabine Pass, ard through the latter
one hundred million feet of lumber
for export will be shipped this year.
The expenditure of less than half a
million will extend this chanoel at
Sabine Pass from the pass five miles
along the shore of the magnificent
Sabine lake to Port Arthur. Sabine
lake is Twenty-Five miles long and
twelve miles wide, and has a depth.
according to the government charts,
ranging from four to sixteen feet.
The bed and shore of the lake are of
blue clay, which on exposure to air
becomes as solid as lime stone.

hundred miles shorter than any other
railroad from Kansas City to the SEE,
and five hundred and thirty.six miles
shorter than the distance by rail
from Kansas City to New York. 1t
