NONE SO POPULAR.
1t is Daily Gaining Favor
in Topeka.
Results Reported From People Who
Have Given a Fair Trial to
The Remedy.

Morrow's Kid-ne-oids, the scientific
kidney remedy, and backache cure, is
daily gaining favor in this city. No
medicine has ever been sold in Topeka
for kidney ailments, backache, nervous
ness, sleeplessness and general debility
that has gained such popular favor as
Morrows Kid-ne- oids.
We give you the experience of J. NJ.
Holt, 122 East 8th street. Topeka, Kan
sas, who says: "A great many people
in Topeka and elsewhere are talking
about Morrow's Kid-ne-oids, telling
about a number of people who have
been cured of kidney complaint by
their use. Having been afflicted with
kidney trouble for some time, I con-
cluded to give Kid-ne-oids a trial. A
trial was sufficient to convince me of
their wonderful curative powers, and
continued the use of Kid-ne-oids until
a complete cure was effected I am
satisfied that Morrow's Kid-ne-oids is
the only specific for kidney troubles"
MorrOw's Kid-ne-oidS are not pills
but Yellow Tablets and sell at fifty
cents box at all drug stores and at
Swift & Holidays drug store.

RATES TO COLORADO.
Tourists May Not Secure Such Ad-
vantageous Terms This Sea-
son as Formerly.

Chicago, April 24.-Intending tourists
to Colorado points during the coming
summer months may not be able to Sc
cure the advantageous rates they have
enjoyed in previous years. Western
roads are unable to agree on some mat
tiers of detail in connection with making
them, with the result that they may not
be put into effect at all All the trouble
is over what road or roads shall bene-
fit by the return coupons of tickets left
in the hands of the joint agent when
the season has closed.
Last year there was a great number
of these return coupons unclaimed by
the original purchasers of the tickets,
and the roads have been fighting over
them ever since. A majority of the
roads would be willing to leave settle
ment of the matter to arbitration, but
the Colorado roads will not consent to
any such proposition. They say that
if tourist rates are to be made at all
they must be made the same basis
as last year. AS this would simply re-
suit in an augmentation of the old fight,
the other roads are not willing to con-
sent.

Santa Fe Will Not Handle Deciduous
Fruits From California to

San Francisco, April 24-The entire
deciduous fruit crop of the state will be
handled by two refrigerator car lines
this season.
The Santa Fee fruit and refrigerator
line will permanently retire from the
business of handling deciduous fruits
from California to eastern distributing
centers and will confine it's attention to
orange shipments from Southern Cali
fornia hereafter. The payment of re-
bates to growers and shippers will be
abolished and the refrigerator lines will
divide the business between themselves

many cases are lower than those now
in effect. The companies, however, will
effect a great saving in rebates.
