AN Excellent Combination.

The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the well known remedy,
SYRUP OF FIGS, manufactured by the
CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP Co., illustrate
the value of obtaining the liquid laxa-
tive principles of plants known to be
incidentally laxative and presenting
them in the form most refreshing to the
taste and acceptable to the system. 1t
is the one perfect strengthening laxa-
tive, cleansing the system effectually,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
gently yet promptly and enabling one
to overcome habitual constipation per-
manently. Its perfect freedom from
every Objectionable quality and sub
stance, and it's acting on the kidneys,
liver and bowels, without weakening
or irritating them, make it the ideal
laxative.
In the process of manufacturing figs
are used, as they are pleasant to the.
taste, but the medicinal qualities of the
remedy are obtained from SIENNA and
other aromatic plants, by a method
known to the CALIFORNIA FIe SYRUP
Co. only. In order to get its beneficial
effects and to avoid limitations, please
remember the full name of the Company
printed on the front of every package.

RAILROAD NEWS.
Santa Fe Will Likely Abolish
Engine Pooling.
Already Discontinued on Two
Divisions.
OLD WAY is THE BEST.
All Engines Will Again Be
Regularly Assigned.
Interesting Items of a General
and Local Nature.
LID WAY is THE BEST.

The pooling of engines has been dis
continued on the Rio Grande and New
Mexico divisions of the Santa Fe. 1t is
believed that this is the forerunner of
the adjustment of the pooling system
on the Santa F'e proper.
The pooling system of running en-
gines was adopted by the Santa F'e
over a year ago at the suggestion of
the late Mr.. c. NJ. HigginsOn, then as
sistant to President Ripley. It's adop-
ton was on the ground that cOnSldera-
bly, more engine service would result.
Engineers ceased to have regular en-
gines, and took any engine that might
be assigned them when called for var
iOus runs.
The road was at that time divided in
several pools, and since that time en-
gines have been operated continuously
in the respective pools.
While the system has proven alto
gether satisfactory to the engineers
and firemen. it is not as satisfactory to
the company. Slight repairs necessary
ticular trouble. Heretofore, when en-
CINE crews had regular engines, any
slight work that might be necessary on
the respective engines was usually at
tended to by the crew. This work was
done in the intervals between runs.
Under the present system engineers
simply report necessary repairs to en-
gines at division points, and it is at
tended to by the shop force. This
makes it necessary to shop engines for
repairs, and it is believed that more
service is lost as a result than by the
previous system of regular assign
ment.

THROUGH SEVEN WALLS
A Telegrsphic Message Is Sent With
out Wires.

Chicago, Nov. 2S.-Professor W. S.
Johnson and c. L. Fortier of Ailwau-
kee, today made a, successful test in
this city of the wireless telegraph. They
succeeded in telegraphing without
wires through a suite of seven rooms,
with all doors closed, and through sew
en- walls. Another test was made when
the signals were conveyed through
three freproOf vaults and an ordinary
switchboard in which thirty wires were
connected up and about forty dead
wires We're located.
Notwithstanding the fact that this
switchboard contained live wires, the
current passed through all of the
vaults and through this board. This is
one of the most severe tests that has
ever been given wireless telegraphy. A
third test was made in which the send
ing instrument was placed inside of one
of the steel vaults and both doors We're
closed and the combination lock turn
ed. The signals We're then transmitted
clearly from the inside of the vault to
an adjoining room.
The professor claims that his inven-
ton is materially different from that of
MarcOni and that instruments can be
constructed to be carried on horseback
and be ready for operation within a few
moments after they reach their deStin-
alton The sending instrument used
today was intended only for short dis
tances. The receiving instrument,
however. was complete and ready for
use at any distance.

POOR BILL ANTHONY.
Assistance Withheld in Life Freely
offered to Bury Him.

New York, Nov. 28.-Mr. Croker, on
behalf of Tammany hall, today agreed
to contribute $500 to bury Sergeant Bill
Anthony of the Maine. Mr.. Croker also
promised to give 800 personally to a
fund to erect a monument over the
grave of the marine.
The Philadelphia Times on Sunday
instructed a burial company to procure
the body and bury it. When the offer
of Tammany hall became known in
Philadelphia, a representative of the
newspaper telegraphed insisting on
burying Anthony. Mr.. Croker sent for
Mr. Carroll, the manager of the burial
company, and told him Tammany Hall
wanted to pay $500 toward the expenses
and it was agreed that this amount
should be added to that the newspaper
promised to pay and the marine be
given a more imposing funeral
Father Chadwick, of the Maine, had
been at the club during the day to see
Mr.. Croker. The authorities at Wash
ington had been communicated with
and had given consent to bury the sail
cemetery. The body will be transferred
by the undertaken to the marine hos
pitaI There it will be met and taken
charge of by the United States marin
ers as if the sailor had died there.
Father Chadwick can not offciate at
the funeral, on account of the rules of
the Catholic church, which forbid
church funeral for one who has COM
mitted suicide, but the marines chap
lain has done all he can to give the
brave mariner a fitting burial. Some
form of service will be gone through

BLOCKADE OF GRAIN.
Missouri Pacific Offices In Southern
Kansas Are Refusing to Bill
Cram.

Wichita, Nov. 2S.-The Missouri Pa
cific freight offices in Wichita have for
several days refused to receive grain
billing for southern points. Not only in
Wichita has this been the case, but in
Kingman, Conway Springs. Argonia,
Zyba Millerton, Maize, Colwich, Mt.
Hope and Hutchinson. The big part of
grain shipments from Wichita and
southern Kansas over the Missouri Pa
cific goes to southern points by way of
COffeyville, where it has to stopped for
inspection Such an immense quantity
of grain has gone out in the last two
weeks that the main tracks at COffey-
Vile are damned so that passenger
trains can hardly get by. The switches
are all full and increased elevators and
inspection forces working day and
night cannot keep the stuff moving.
Even when shipments have been caught
and held at way stations for ten or
twelve hours, it has failed to relieve the
pressure and the general order has gone
cut to hold up.
There are miles and miles of cars full
of grain have had to wait for days. The
switches were filled up days ago and
the heavier shipments have not started.
One prime reason for the jam, of
course, is the advance in rates that was
promulgated to go into effect in a few
days. On this account every grain man
that had stuff for immediate shipment
has made a sudden effort to get it
through and save the additional tariff
that will come with the advanced rate.

MIR. TURNER MENTIONED.
His Name Is Included in the Texas
RumOrs Concerning Ressegue's
Successor.

Houston, Tex. Nov. 2S.-Many ru-
mors are current here in reference to
the successor of Mr.. Ressegue as gen
eral superintendent of the Gulf, Col
Orado & Santa Fe. Mr.. Scott, division
superintendent at Temple is spoken
of as a probable successor. He is a
good man. well posted as to the needs
of the Texas line and the improve
ments now in progress. There is an
other VINO is spoken of as a. possibility.
Mr. Avery Turner of Topeka is now as
SiStant general superintendent of the
AtchisOn, and it is said that he might
be called to the position in Texas which
will be made vacant by Mr.. Ressegue's
advancement. Another name mention
ed is that of r. W. Norton. Mr.. Norton
is now chief clerk in the Office of Cen
eral Manager L. J. Polk. He is a man
admirably fitted for the position, hav-
ing been where he has had the advant-
age of d training in the work that
would be valuable to him as a general
superintendent.
There is a possibility that a new po-
sitiOn will be open through the creatiO
of a new office It is believed in some
circles that the Santa FTe proposes to
add the position of assistant general
manager to the staff of the Texas line
thus creating a place for some one. This
new position will not in any way inter
fere with the duties of the general sup
erintendent or division superintendent

Thousands Kidney They Suspect

Kidney trouble preys upon the mind
discourages and lessons ambition;
beauty, vigor and cheerfu1ness grad
uaIly disappear, when the kidneys are
out of order.
Kidney trouble has become so pre-
valent that it is not uncommon for
child to be born afflicted with weak
kidneys.
Pain, aches and rheumatism come
from excess of uric acid in the blood
due to neglected kidney trouble.
Kidney trouble often causes quick or
unsteady heart beats and makes one
feel as though they had heart trouble,
because the heart is overworked, in
pumping thick, kidney-poisoned blood
through the veins and arteries.
Unhealthy urine from unhealthy kid
neys is the chief cause of bladder trou-
Bile, followed by suffering so painful
to many that life is made miserable.
The bladder, is situated in front of

that reason any pain, distress, disease
or Inconvenience manifested in the

and may be as easily avoided by pay
ing a little attention to the condition
of the urine.

W. A. GARDENERS PROMOTION.
Former Santa Fe Dispatcher Becomes
General Manager of Chicago and
NorthWestarn.

w. A. Gardner who in 1881 was train
dispatcher for the Santa F'e at En-
ager of the Chicago and Northwestern
system, effective December 1.
Mr.. Gardner's railroad career is an
example of what perseverance and ap-
plicatiOn win accomplish. He has
risen steadily from the ranks, and his
promotion will give general satisfac
ton not only among the employees OF
the Northwestern, but in railroad cir
cleS generally. He was born at Gard
ner, Ill, in 1859, and entered railroad
service as telegraph operator in 1873,
at LemOnt, Ill, on the Chicago & AL
ton. He went to Chicago in 1876 as
operator for the Illinois Central In
1877 he entered the service of the Chi
cago &. Northwestern as stenOgrapher
The following year he served that COM
pany at Chicago as telegraph operator.
In 1880 he was appointed train dis
patcher for the Northwestern at Belle
Plaine Ia In 1881 he was appointed
train dispatcher for the Atchison, To-
peka & Santa Fe, at EmpOria, Kan. In
1888 he returned to the Northwestern at
Chicago as trainmaSter. Subsequently
he was appointed assistant superin-
appointed assistant general superin-
tendent of the entire system, with
headquarters at Chicago.
The new general manager is a mem
Der of the Union league and Hamilton
clubs, and is popular in Chicago bust
ness circles.
This change places the operating de-
paTtment of the road in charge of Mr..
Gardner; the traffic department re-
naming in charge of H. r. Mccullough,
third vice president and general traf-
fic manager. and it is something of a
coincidence that in 1874 Mr. Mccullough
was employed in the local freight Of
fee of the Illinois Central Railroad, as
way-bi1 clerk, while Mr.. Gardner was
in the employ of the company as teIe-
graph operator. 1t is believed that Mr..
Mccullough and Mr. Gardner are two
Of the youngest men in the country

The prediction is made that the entire
management of the Northwestern sys-
tenn will ultimately fall upon their
shoulders.

SANTA FE INTERESTED.
Needs of That Road to Be Considered
In Building of Colorado and
Southern Shops.

In connection with the arrangements
now being made by the Colorado &
Southern road for the construction of
new shops in Denver, the Denver Post
has the following to say:
THE Santa FEES needs will be cOnsid-
cred in addition to those of the Colo
RADIO & Southern. In fact the first rail-
road is following in the wake of the
Pullman Palace Car company in its de-
termination to make Denver a repair
point. AS soon as the the Colorado &
Southern occupies its own shops all the
Colorado work of the Santa Fe, and it
is considerable, will be done here. Since
the traffic and trackage agreement be
tween the Southern and the Santa F'e
went into effect last August, whereby
all Texas bound trains of the Southern
pass over the Santa Fee tracks and are
hauled by Santa F'e engines between
Denver and Pueblo and Trinidad, the
Southern has repaired Santa Fe rolling
stock in it's shops, which are now to
be leased by the owners, the Union Pa
cifc railroad, to the Pullman COM
pany''

La Junta

La Junta, Col, Nov. 28.-There is a well
defined runor here, or rather statement mt.
shops of the Santa Fe railroad located
there will be moved to La Junta.
For some days it has been known in the
west that the management of the railroad
has determined on new and more sys-
tematic plan for the shop work, by which
it will all be concentrated at five points
located. approximately 500 miles apart.
que one will be in California one in Ar
izona, and now it is believed that the fifth
point for the esta blishment of permanent
shops will be La Junta- For one thing, it
would be a, great convenience not only in
the handling of rolling stock for repairs
but in the running of engines.
