RAILROAD NEWS.
The Cotton Industry of Okla
hOma Immense.
Grown to Be a Factor of Impor-
lance to the Santa Fe.
OVER 40 CARS DAILY
Where Shipped Out in Deem.
Der and January.
Sent West From Newton In Re-
frigeratOr Cars.

The cotton industry Of Oklahoma has
grown to be a factor of great import
ance to the Santa Fe.
The cotton industry there is yet
young and the first compress of any size
was built only a few years ago, but al
ready the shipments from that region
are enormous and hundreds of carloads
are being shipped over the Santa Fe,
for California and eastern markets and
some to Manila via the Santa FEES line
of steamships from San Diego to Orien-
tai ports.
During December and January the
shipments of cotton from Oklahoma ex-
ceeded forty cars a day. In Oklahoma
the bales of cotton bound for California
were loaded in any sort of cars and
shipped to Newton, where they were
transferred to refrigerator cars, return
ing to California, to save the empty
haul of the cars.
The largest congresses are situated
at Guthrie and Oklahoma City. The
one at the latter place is the largest
in the south, being larger than the COM
press at Fort Worth. Cotton oil and
other products are being manufactured
in Oklahoma and the industry is deS-
tined to be one of the largest in the
southwest and will soon ship more cot
ton than is shipped from Texas.
The cotton industry has been thriving
in Oklahoma for the last ten years, but
not until last year did it reach a figure
large enough to bring it in competition
with Texas and other cotton states. The
shipments of 1898 were treble those of
1897, and this year the shipments are
expected to be several times larger than
for last year.
The first shipment of cotton, of any
size, was made from Oklahoma about
two years ago. While forty cars a day
have been shipped from there during the
last two months, the industry is still
growing and more congresses will be
built during the present year. The
largest shipping point is Oklahoma
City,

We Publish the Story of Another
Wonderful Cure of Kidney
BaCkache For the Benefit of
Topeka People.

Morrow's Kid-ne-oids received the
highest possible praise from an Elk
mart Indiana, business man. If Nor
row h1d-ne-oidS were not q worthy
remedy, or the remedy we claim them
to be, it would be impossible to get
people living in Elkhart to praise them.
Geo. ToWman, the barber at Main and
Franklin streets has much to saw for
them, and stronger language could not
be used. Here is what he saws word
for word: Il doubt very much if there
are many people living who have suf-
fered worse with kidney complaint and
lived, than I have. My conditions had
gradually been growing worse for years
notwithstanding the fact that 1 have
being treated by physicians which has
cost me lots of money. Only two months
ago paid a large doctor bill for which
! mad received not one particle OF bene-
mt. My condition has been so bad at
times / have had to quit work for q
week or more. The pain through the
small of my back was so intense that
1t seemed to me as if I were dying by
anches. This condition made me so
nervous that by spells I was unable to
mold a razor steady. The kidney secre-
lions were highly discolored and accom-
panied by scalding pain in its pas
sage This showed an eXceSsiveness OF
uric acid. No one could blame me for
being completely discouraged. 1 had
begun to believe that my condition was
a hopeless one, until hope took the Olaca
of despair through reading the many
cures affected by Morrow's Kid-ue-
oids- could no more than fail (Which
had been doing right along although
taking treatment from physicians and
paying doctor bills) if 1 gave the Kid
ne-oids trial I bought two boxes to
start with, it seems almost incredible
when say that 1 began to feel better
tn "a hours but such was the case In
side of week my condition was more
improved that it had been for years
from other treatment. Today my back
ache has entirely disappeared, my nerves
have grown steady and strong and
am perfectly free from urinary dis
turbances Notwithstanding the fact that
/ work hard all day. / am so elated
over my present healthful condition
that 1 suppose have told and recon-
Inended Kid-ne-oids to over thirty of
my customers. 1 make this statement
Tor publication with the hope that those
who read it will not delay one moment
put stop their suffering at once, by US
ing Kid-ne-oids.- for I positively be-
neve them to be the only cure for this
disease to be had"
The people OF Topeka and surround
Ing country should be convinced at once
through this statement and lose no time
from being cured Kid-ne-oids are yell
dow Tablets (not pIlls) and are for sale
by all druggists and at Swift & HolIi-
days drug store at 80 cents a box.

FLEEs HIS CONTRACT.
Miami County Must Complete the
Court Honse the Contractor
Abandoned.

PaoIa, Feb. 3.-Miami county is the
loser on the new court house the county
being forced to take the contract off the
hands of the contractor, ]. w. Divil-
bis.
The sum of $45, 600 was raised by taxa
ton for the purpose of building a new
court house and the contract let to
Divilbis, he being the lowest bidder
among a. number. Work was commence
ed the winter of 1897 and the building
was to have been completed last De-
cember. For several months past Div
Ibis has not been here, the work being
done under the direction of a superin-
tendent. Owing to some change in the
plans and some unforeseen expenses
building was completed. Upon the So
licitation of a large number of the
heavier tax payers the county commits
SiOnerS purchased furniture and fixtures
not included in the original specifca-
tionS and now a petition is being circu-
lated asking the legislature to legalize
by special act the action of the COM
Tnissioners.
A special meeting of the board of
commissioners was held yesterday and
today. 1t was learned that DivilbiS had
abandoned his contract and it was at
first contended by the board that his
bondsmen should make good the con-
tract but the bondsmen insist that as
the contract was changed some time af-
ter the bond was made and signed by
them that it was not binding After
due consideration the commissioners
concluded the county would finish the
building at the expense of the people.
It is not known just the amount the
county is in for but one thing is sure,
court house will cost nearly $4,000 be-
fore it is finished.

DOUKHOBORs' QUARANTINE
A Special Plant Necessary for Disin-
fecting Their Skin Goats

Halifax, N. s., Feb. 3.-Three hundred
of the 1000 DOukhobors, cOlonists from
Russia, in quarantine on the steamer
Lake Superior, have been landed. A
general vaccination, commenced on
board ship at sea, is complete. All will
have been landed by tomorrow. Count
Serg Tolstoi is Quarantined with the
rest. and not even a letter is allowed to
come off the island.
Several supposed new cases of small
poX have proved to be harmless. The
Doukhobors have their own bedding,
and food sufficient for forty-five days.
There is no modern method of fumi-
eating skin coats and other leather
goods, and a plant ordered from New
York has not arrived. The cottons and
woollens will be carted ashore to the
steam chests, but the leather goods
must remain on board to go through the
sulphur fumigation when the ships
matches are sealed. The Lake Superior
viii be here four weeks and the immi-
grants fully as long, even if no more
disease appears. The Doukhobors held
Sunday services, celebrating their es-
cape from further persecution and pray
ing for a clean bill of health speedily
to enable them to proceed.

" TAKE 1T,

Inscription on a Treasury Note.

London, O., Feb. 3.-U. w. Reese went
to the bank one day this week to make
a deposit When the bank teller count

PINGREE AFTER MINERS.
Considering a Plan to Increase the
Tax on Copper Mining
CORPORATIONS.

Detroit, Mich, Feb. Ex-Governor Pin
gree is contemplating a campaign
against the copper mining districts of
the upper peninsula. For years he has
rallied against the big earnings of the
Calumet and Hecla and other copper
mines and the comparatively small tax
es paid by these corporations. Now the
governor is considering a bill providing
that the great copper mining companies
pay to the safe a tax on the market val
ue of their stock. At present the COM
panies pay only a small county tax.
1t is estimated that should the bill
pass, the Calumet and Hecla would pay
ten times as much taxes as it does now,
and all other companies would pay in
proportion.

Climate and Crop Bulletin


Des Moines, Iowa, June 9th, 1899
The past week was slightly warmer
than usual, and the percentage of sun
shine was about normal. The rainfall
was phenomenally heavy in q small
portion of the central district. Ames
reported 81 inches, accompanied by
damaging hail and wind: Ogden, 3 81,
and Marshalltown, 2 04 inches. In the
larger part of the state however, the
conditions were favorable for drying
the soil and for general farm work.
On the whole the weather conditions
were about all that could be desired,
and fair progress has been made in
cleaning out the weedy cornfields.
In portions of the southeast district
planting operations have been contin-
4ed on lands that were previously too
wetj and the cultivation of corn on
drier lands is In progress with improv-
ed prospects.
All small grain crops are standing
up fairly we'll, though unusually heavy
on rich, moist lands. Haying is COM
menced in many localities, with gen.
orally less than the average yield.
The potato crop is very promising in
all ssctions. Pastures are notably
good. Conditions have been very IA
vorable for berries and garden vegets-
bios.
