Spruance'S house and told the cook
that he had been robbed and beaten,
and wanted place to sleep. He was
not believed, and made his way across
the street to Miss Mary Andersons
residence. Here he told the same
story, but was not believed. He then
made his way down the street TO Pete
Maban's boarding house, where his
story was investigated. Riggs was
taken to Schwinn's drug store and his
head dressed, and a search was made
for the two SIG bills which had drop

could not be found and the search for
them was abandoned,
Thursday Riggs told his story

had been drinking together in the
evening, and had separated about ten
minutes before the hOld.upooccurred,

going to the home of his aunt and
would then leave for home. Bolinger
then decided TO rob him, knowing
that he had some money.

that he had gambled away the 1915

A New Santa Fe Line.

The Santa Fe is spsring 40 effort to
MAINTAIN control Of the railroad situa.
ton III Oklahoma. 5. ?. Gould, a, well
known business man Of Arkansas City.
was in Wichita yesterday and stated
that the Santa Fe had started a CORDS
OF surveyors southeast from Arkansas
City and were surveying a route from
that point to Fort Smith, Ark,
through the McAlester coal district
in Oklahoma. The evident intention
Of the Santa Fe, said Mr.. Gould, is to
parallel the proposed route of the
Wichita and Southwestern.
o. ii. Bentley, who has been pro.
noting the road for the last two years
IN connection with W. II. Arnold of
South McAleSter, says that he is not
surprised at the move OF the Santa
Re II it is true, as reported. Last FEB.
rudry he was 10 Chicago and met
President Ripley OF the Santa Fe.
The two talked over the railroad sit
uation in Oklahoma and Ripley frank
y stated that the Santa Fe intended
to control the situation in Oklahoma.
For a long time it looked as though
the Wichita and Western would not
be a 90. Within the last month or
two, however, eastern capitalists took
hold OF the project and guaranteed to
invest money in the line. 1t is sug-
gested that the Santa Fe figured out
that it might make trouble for it in
eastern Oklahoma and concluded that
IL would be better TO build the line
itself than allow new competitor to
enter the field. Some railroad men
think that the Santa Fe's move is
simply bluff to frighten eastern men
interested in the Wichita and South
western. II the Santa Fe can head
of the project for the cost Of a pre-
liminary survey OF the route, IL will
be money well invested. The Santa
Fe, since the absorption of the Hutch
inson and Southern, has the lead in
Oklahoma. 1t has lines in all DOR.
tions OF that territory, but is weak in
the Indian territory. 1t is building
one line east from Guthrie to Caney,
Kan, which protects the northern
part OF the territory but the eastern
and central portions are yet open.

"The blood is the life" Science has
never gone beyond that simple statement
of scripture. But it has Illuminated that
statement and given it meaning ever
broadening with the increasing breadth
of knowledge. When the blood is dad, ,
or impure it is not alone the body which
suffers through disease. The brain is
also clouded, and the Judgment age tied,
and many an evil deed or impure thought
may be directly traced to the impurity of
the blood. No one can be we'll balanced in
mind and body whose blood is impure.
No one can have wholesome and pure
life unless the blood is pure. Foul blood
can be made pure by the use of
DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery.
When the blood is pure, body and brain
are alike healthy and life becomes a
daily happiness.

AS this rate the state income IRON TINS
source will amount to n-nrly or quite
5000 a year; at least three-fourths of
which may be placed to the credit of the
special session laws.
Add this to the $4,000 year the new
law for the taxation Of insurance
companies brings into the state treas
ury, the $40, 1000 year reduction in fees
for state printing, and the other items of
profit to the state resulting from that
session, and the total will be in the
neighborhood of a hundred thousand
dollars a year. You aren't hearing so
much now from Republican papers about
the horrible extravaganza Of spending
$50, 900 for that special session. An in
