RAILROAD NEWS.
Union Pacific Rebuilding It's
Line In Wyoming.
Pioneer TranscOntinental Road
Brought to Date.
MODERN ENGINEERING.
More Pressed Steel Cars Added
to Its Equipment.
Railroad DOings at Various
Kansas Points.

Another carload of 1aborers were sent
out from Leavenworth yesterday over
the Union Pacific for Laramie, Wyo.
These men will be employed, in con-
junction with several thousand others,
from various parts of the United States,
in regarding and rebuilding the track in
many places in Wyoming.
The Union Pacific, when constructed
in the early sixties, was considered
marvellous piece of engineering skill.
General Dodge, the civil engineer who
surveyed the road, explored the country
for 200 miles on either side OF the present
route before it was finally chosen. Not
withstanding this careful survey, it has
been found in the light of modern engi-
neering that the route can be much i'm
proved and shortened, and several thou
sand Workmen are now engaged in
making these changes. The heavy traffic
over the road in recent years has made
it necessary to run two and three en-
gineS on a single train in order to climb
will greatly reduce the grades, making
it possible for one engine to pull a train.
The curves in many places will be
greatly reduced, thus shortening the
route. The depression Spanned by the
Dale Creek bridge, which is 125 feet
high. viii be entirely filed in.
In many places the old route will be
abandoned and a new roadbed con-
structed. The work is to be completed
by December.
The Union Pacific has also Just pro-
ment by placing an order with a Pitts
burg firm for $50 pressed steel cars.
They will make a big addition to the
roads modern rolling stock.

Mrs. Smith had been in poor health of

Mabel years old, was killed first in
the front room on the second floor OF

BRYAN IN INDIANA.
Made 10 Speeches in 8 Counties
in One Day.

Anderson, Ind, Oct. 6.-The meeting
which closed here at 10 o'clock last
night was the last of a series of remark
ably large political demonstrations
made in connection with the appearance
of William J. Bryan in Indiana
Mr. Byan left Indianapolis early in the
morning with the intention of visiting
during the day as many places as pos
sibIe il. what is known as the gas belt
of the state, and in pursuance of that
purpose he almost circled the city or
Indianapolis, visiting no fewer than nine
counties and making an even dozen
speeches The speeches We're made IN
succession at Noblesville, Arcadia, Tip
ton. Elwood, Alexandria, Marion, Hart
ford City, Muncie, Winchester, Rich
mond, New Castle and Anderson. A
majority of these places are important
manufacturing centers, and all the COM
munities traversed are considered Re
publican in politics. They could not
however, have given the Democratic
candidate q more cordial reception than
pronouneedly for him. There were I'M
mense outpourings at all the towns VS.
tied, and no interruptions indicating
pronounced opposition occurred. On the
contrary. there was at most places much
enthusiasm manifested by Mr.. Bryan
supporters and after the last speech
was concluded he expressed himself as
greatly pleased with the days expert
enceS.
The speeches averaged half an hour
in duration, though the Anderson speech
was much longer, and most of them
were made either from the car platform
or from stands erected in the immediate
vicinity of the stopping places. In one
or two instances Mr.. Bryan refused to
go to distant stands because of the diff
fculty of getting through the crowds
and the loss of time. Trusts formed the
subject of most of the speeches of the
day, but at Richmond Mr.. Bryan devo-
ted all his time to Imperialism
The presiding officer at the Richmond
meeting was Henry U Johnson, for
merly a prominent member of congress
and until recently a. pronounced Repub-
Iican When he introduced Mr.. Bryan,
the latter was received with great ap-
plause by one of the largest audiences
of the day The speech was prefaced
by a reference to Mr.. Johnson's change
Of party affiliations. Referring to Mr..
johnson he said:
Il knew in congress your distinguish
ed townsnan who introduced me on this
occasion. Mr.. Johnson and I served in
the house together. 1 knew of his abil-
ity then; knew Of his industry. knew

NOT IMAGINARY.
A Common Disease, Which is by No
r1eans the Result OF Imagination.

Undoubtedly many nervous people
suffer from troubles purely imaginary;
diseases which exist only in the mind
of the patient, and such troubles furnish
a fertile field for the Quack as well as
for faith healers and Christian Science
treatment.
However, there is one common and
annoying disease which is in no sense Of
the word imaginary and that is, Piles.
Pile sufferers do not need a physician
to tell them what is the matter; there is
no obscurity about it. Neither will a.
simple lotion or ointment cure it. You
cannot deceive a pile sufferer into be-
Heving he is being cured, because the
is not imaginary and cannot be cured
by imagination. A pile remedy must
have unmistakable merit, it must relieve
the pain and cure the disease speedily
or it will be condemned.
Mr. W. n. Dunn of 5719 Shields Ave-
Pyramid Pile Cure a thousand times for
the speedy relief and permanent cure OF
a. severe case of piles. I was cured per-
fectly with one 80 cent box and more
than that still have three OF the Pyr-
amids left of the box did not need to
use.
I think the Pyramid Pile Cure is the
grandest thing of the age and I shall
certainly recommend it to all sufferers
The manufacturers of the Pyramid
Pile Cure are at perfect liberty to refer
any person to me and I will gladly an
swer any correspondence. I am so CRATE
full for my cure that I want all pile suf-
ferers to find the same relief
All druggists sell the Pyramid Pile
Cure at so cents per box and as it con
tains no cocaine, opiate or any poison
whatever is entirely safe and reliable.

to be a bully and a braggart? DO you
want this nation to go out seeking
weaker nations to subdue and hold in
vassalage?
While Mr.. Bryan was speaking at
Marion some one in the audience asked
in regard to the North Carolina negro
law. Mr.. Bryan said: My friend, am
glad that you asked me that; 1 am pre-
pared for you. Now, am going to as
sumo that the Republican who asked
the question is an honest man. I am
going to ask him about the constitution
of the Republican state Of Oregon I
will read a provision of that constitu-
ton. 1t says:
Section S3-No free negro or mu-
1atto not residing in this state at the
time of the adoption Of this constitu-
ton shall come, reside, or be within
this state, hold any real estate or make
any contract or maintain any such
therein, and the legislative assembl
mOval by public officers of all such ne
groes and mulattoes and for their effect
ual exclusion from the state and for the
punishment of persons who shall bring
them into the state or employ or har
Dor them
THAT amendment was adopted before
the civil war; it makes it unlawful for
a free negro to go into the state, and
it authorizes the officers to put him out.
But you say that it is old. Let me re-
mind you that last June an effort was
stitution, and the effort to repeal it was
defeated, although the state went 10000
Republican"
Mr.. Bryan then pointed to Porto Rico
and the Sultanate Of Sulu, as he has
done in former speeches.

TWO PIONEER RA1LRoADERs
Another Veteran Engineer Made It q
Pair With Chief Arthur.

Next to their esteemed chief engineer,
P. NJ. Arthur. the most interesting char
acter at the B. of l. E. meeting
Wednesday was a veteran engineer and
brotherhood man from Camden, N. J.
His name is H. H. Hires, and he is
making an extended visit with relatives
in this city.
Mr.. Hires was made most cordially
welcome at the afternoon lodge session,
which has already been publicly said
to have been "a regular fashioned
Methodist love feast" In many char
acteristics he 'sizes up to the chief en-
gineer remarkably. He is 68 years of
age, by the side of Mr. Arthur's g. He
joined the order in 1865 when it was still
known as the brotherhood of the Foot
board, which was two years after Chief
Arthur was one Of the organizers of
the division on the New York Central,
and was chairman OF the first griev-
ance committee that secured the con-
cessiOn asked for from the Vanderbilts
The two men favor one another some
what in build and personal appearance
also, so that Topeka engineers will al
ways remember this meeting with the
association of pair of pioneer railroad
eTs.
Mr.. Hires is a charter member of di-
vision No. D. B. of L. z. He has run a
locomotive for the last thirty-six years,
and is still in the service.

ROUT OF PRO BOERs.
Is What Partisans Call the English
Elections.


New York, Oct "a dispatch to the
Tribune from London says:
The canvass, which is roughly de-
scribed by excited partisans as a trout
of the prO-Boers'' has been continued
with the slaughter of Sir Wilfrid Law
son in Cumberland. He has been re-
spected as a sincere temperance reform
er, and liked for his quaint humor, but
rejected by a constituency long faithful
ed and the fate of Sir Robert Reid and
Mr.. Scott, editor of the Manchester
Guardian is not yet known. But at
least a. dozen prominent defenders of
the Boer cause have been defeated, and
been plucked like brands from the
burning. The bitterest possible enemy of
Mr.. Chamberlain was Philip Stanhope,
and his challenge for a libel suit will
now come like voice from the tomb.
Sir Robert Reid has as his opponent in
the Dumfries district William Murray,
whose brother was killed at Spion
Kop.
Mr.. RusselPs election in South Tyrone
has been brought about after a close
contest with the Nationalist candidate.
Only a. small fraction of the Unionist
vote was diverted to the irreconcilable
Unionist who was opposed to the meas
ures of reconciliation in Ireland.
The UniOnists have won a second seat
in Ireland, and still maintain a strong
lead, and are fully abreast with their
maximum majority OF 1895. The fifth
days contests were confined almost
wholly to county divisions.
