There is more catarrh in this sec
ton OF the country than all other
diseases put together, and until
the last few years was supposed to
be incurable. For a great many
years doctors pronounced it local
disease, and prescribed local rene
dies, and by constantly failing to
cure with local treatment, pro-
nounced it incurable. Science has
proven catarrh to be a constitu-
tional disease, and therefore re-
quires constitutional treatment.
Halls Catarrh Cure, manufactured
by F. Cheney & Co., Toledo,
Ohio, is the only constitutional
cure on the market. 1t is taken
internally in doses from 10 drops
to teaspoonful. 1t acts directly
on the blood and mucous surfaces
OF the system. They offer one
hundred dollars for any case it
fails to cure. Send for circulars

The Santa Fe is replacing the
old wooden water tanks all along
the line with steel standpipe tanks.
The wooden affair near the coal
shutes is being torn down and will
be replaced with a steel standpipe
tank sixty feet in height. The
tank is built Of steel OF an average
thickness of three -eigbths of an
inch and will be twenty-four feet
in diameter. Its weight is 81, $50
pounds and its capacity 1863, $40
gallons OF water.
All crossings on the line of the
Santa Fe which are considered
dangerous are to be equipped with
electric bells. The bells work au-
tomatically and are similar to those
in operation in the outskirts of the
larger cities. While the approach
ing train is some distance from the
crossing the bell is started ringing
by the pressure OF the locomotive
wheels on an electric attachment
fastened TO the rail. In this man
ner warning OF the approach of a
train is given in ample time for all
persons to avoid danger. The
most dangerous crossing in La
unta is just east OF the Harvey
House, and would be a good place
to locate one OF these bells.
Four of the eleven Santa Fe
conductors discharged from service
for irregularities in the collection
and reports OF fares, will be rein
stated at once. They are c. II.
Dascomb, Chas. Stevenson, OF
Albuquerque, and John Donahue
and X. II. Ammon. No decision
has yet been given out In regard
to the other seven, but it is probable
that some OF them will be rein
stated. The four men who will be
reinstated Immediately have borne
good records IN the past, and have
been in the employ OF the road for
a number OF years. Their rein
statement is due to their past
records, They have all promised
that it will never happen again.
1t is reported that the A,chison,

connecting with the Santa Fe Pa
cific This will send all OF the
transcontinental traffic over the
line southwest from Newton.
Kansas, to Amarillo in Texas, and

to Ysleta Junction. This saves
$50 miles and the heavy Ration and

According to the tests recently MADE

would take but a trihe over sixteen
minutes TO transmit the contents OF

expert telegrapher using he Hughes
system, would require no less than
thirty hours for the transmission OF

that the successful test Of such an IN

graphic system Of the world is soon to be
revoutionized Not only VIII the cost
OF telegraphlng be reduced, but the ex-
listing lines can be put TO much better
use. as the employment OF a SUFFICIENT
number OF perforating machines would
enable the companies to meet any de-
mand that could possibly be made upon
the service. For these reasons, as wen
