sANTA FE EXTENsToN.
Rumor of a Southern as Well as
Northern Connection With
Pecos Valley.

Fort Stockton, Tex, Aug. 3.-The news
that the Santa Fe will extend its San An
gelo branch ten miles west of that place
is hailed here as an indication that the
company intends to push on to the much
rumOred connection with the Pecos Valley
& Northwestern at PecOS City. The most
practical route would be by way of Fort
Stockton. 1t is stated that the extension is
to be made merely to accommodate stock
shippers. who cannot well drive through
the fenced-up country about San Angelo,
but the people refuse to believe that. 1t
has been stated for some time that the
Santa Fe has gained control of the Pecos
Valley road with which it will have con-
nectiOn at the northern terminal as soon
as the extension to Amarillo is completed,
and this makes it seem prOba BILE that a
connection will be formed between the
San Angelo branch of the Santa Fe and
the southern terminal of the PecOs Valley.
Such a connecting line would take very
large live stock business away from the
Texas & Pacific and the Southern Pacific.

DESERVES SUPPORT.
Topeka Team Playing Good Ball anC
Should Be Encouraged.

Topeka won from Salina yesterday in an
eleven inning game by the score of
to I.
Eyler, for Topeka, held Salina down to
one base on balls and no safe hits. Free
land, for Salina, allowed Topeka one base
hit. The game was full of excitement and
for eight innings Topeka did not score,
and after the fourth Salina scored no
more. Cole, center fielder for Salina,
made the two star catches of the day.
One, a long drive, he gathered in one
hand and another long run over into right
field saved a safe hit being scored. o. Con-
nell, for Topeka, played an exceptionally
good game and his headwork saved sew
eral scores.
Wichita opens here for three games,
commencing tomorrow. Hall, formerly a
shortstop for St. Louis, and Spencer, a
third baseman from the Texas league, will
greatly strengthen the team.
Manager R. L. Head of the Salina team
has signed Gladys, a pitcher from Falls
City, Neb. Freeland, the pitcher, receiv-
ed an offer from Detroit, of the Western
association, to join that team at St. Joe,
but he declined. Manager Head an
nOunces that as the crowds at Salina have
been very poor he will transfer his team
from there to LeavenWOrth or Junction
City, where Sunday ball is played and
where team will pay its expenses.

John Morrow's Great Discovery Wins
Warm Words from Kidney Suffer-
ers. An Aid to the Treat
ment.

A chain Is no stronger than its weak
est link, and upon the same principle
the human body is no stronger than its
weakest organ. When the organ ceases
to perform it's functions healthfully the
whole system is made to feel the effects
of disease.
The various organs are cooperative,
so that in order to restore health in one
part it is often necessary to achieve
that result by a medicine applied to an
other part. For the long list of kidney
troubles brought mankind by care
lesSnesS and indiscretions of modern
living, the best remedy yet discovered
is MOrrows KidneOids-those small,
yellow tablets-thet secret of making
which was discovered by John Morrow,
the noted American chemist.
But to gain the. greatest action on the
kidneys it is often necessary to tonic
the stomach and liver at the same time
the kidneys are treated, and for this
purpose Liverlax has been prepared
Used either alone or with Kidneoids. its
action is perfect, restoring the tone of
the stomach and bringing perfect nor
NAL action to the bowels.
Every day additional evidence Is
voluntarily given of the wonderful cur
alive properties of these RENE dies.
Among these a typical case is that OF
Miss Louise Bretzfelder, of 173 East
Pleasant street, Springfield, Ohio. She
says:
For more than a year I have been
suffering from kidney trouble, which
gradually broke down my heaItn until
I was scarcely able to perform my
household duties. I suffered terribly
from a severe and distressing pain in
my back, and at times I was unable to
get out of bed I tried different rene
dies but nothing seemed to relieve me-
I was urged to try q box of MOrroW's
Kidneoids and the results have been
wonderful. 1 am entirely well and do
not experience the least pain, and am
enjoying better health than for long
time"
Morrow's Kidneofds are for sale at al
dealers Price 50 cents a box, or SIX
boxes for s.. so. If not to be had al your
dealers they will be sent postpaid upon
receipt of price by John Morrow & Co.

BIG FOUR AND MoNoN ROAD.
Persistent Rumor That the Former
Has Purchased the Latter.

Cincinnati, Aug. 3.-From Louisville
again comes the story. via New York,
that the Big Four has purchased the Mo-
non. 1t is said that the Big Four obtain
ed a large block of MOnOn stock when it
was reOrganized some time ago. The
Chicago officials of the MonOn denied any
knowledge of the alleged deal But still
the story will not down, and the inside Of
the proposed deal is said to be as follows;
For years the Big Four has been endeav-
Oring to secure an independent entrance
into Chicago over the Chicago & Eastern
Illinois railroad, short road with valu-
able Chicago terminals. The deal for the
road was almost closed a number of times,
but the terms always prevented its con-
summation. The stockholders and bond
holders. it was said, were anxious to sell
out. but they felt that the Vanderbilts
needed the road very badly and were able
to pay literally, they held off for
sitter price than the Vanderbilts were
willing to pay. After having made sew
eral efforts in this direction. the Wander
bits thought to scare the Chicago & East
ern Illinois people into a sale of their road
by OstenSibly abandoning their efforts to
get the road, and giving out the story
that they were after the MonOn. They
seem to be working this story for all it is
worth, but whether or not it is weaken
ing the holders of the Chicago & East
ern Illinois is not known.
If the Big -Four should absorb the Mo-
non it would acquire valuble real estate.
These two roads have been competitors
for heavy local travel between Lafayette
and Chicago, Michigan City and Cincin-
natl and Michigan City and Indianapolis.
