Snake IN woman's Stomach.

Miss Florence Reese of Herkimer,
N. Y, has a live snake in her stom-
ach. Sunday she was taken to ST.
Luke's hospital, in Utica, where she
underwent an operation for the re
mova1 of the reptile. Miss Reese has
known that there was live creature
IN her stomach for six or seven years,
and until quite recently supposed it
to be a tapeworm.
Three weeks ago she consulted DIR.
Ford of Utica, who, after an ex-
animation, announced that there was
a snake growing in her stomach, and
that an operation was necessary
She refused to submit to that and
went home But her sufferings be-
-came SO terrible that she eventually
decided to seek relief by the way of
the knife.
The serpent is believed to be two
or three feet long and as large
around as broomstick. Often ii
can be plainly felt with the hand.
How the reptile got into her stomach
is mystery.

A meeting of the division superin-
tendents of the Santa Fe road is being
held in Topeka for the purpose of rear
ranging and making out rev time card.
1t ID expected that the session will last
several days, as the time card is a lengthy
one and will require considerable time for
the details. Thore will be an almost en-
tire change in the running time of the
trains but the most changes will be made
in the freight service. The new time
card will probably go into effect
April ist.
The Santa Ee management has in
structed all agents to inform shippers of
stock that an average speed of 90 miles
hour between division terminals will be
made with all stock trains this year. This
will be much better time than was made
with shipments of stock last year. The
increase IN speed will be possible because
of the release of fast engines for stock
service by the arrival of the 40 heavy To-
comotiyes ordered by the Santa Fe some
time ago. The heavy engines will be
placed in regular service. and the lighter
engines, capable of making good time
with trains of cattle, will be used in
stock traffic The fact that many small
engines had to be used, and the tendency
to increase the tonnage of all trains, was
responsible for much slow time with
stock trains the Santa Fe last year.
In consequence considerable dissatisfac-
tion resulted among shippers. This year
the management is determined to get
back into the good sraces of the stock
men by insuring good time with their
shipments of cattle. The number of
S'double headers will be materially re-
duced on the Santa Fe proper after the 40
new engines are placed in service A re-
duction has already been ordered in the
tonnage of freight trains, many delays
have resulted in freight traffic during the
past several months by long freight trains
breaking in two. For some time many
Santa Fe freight trains numbered from
&c to so cars. Such trains now things
of the past, AZ the management has de-
cided that less tonnage and better time
win be more profitable in the long run

ssThe Sheldon Edit1sn.,

The Topeka Capital, under the man
agement of Rev. Charles NJ Sheldon.
this week, is innovation in the con-
duct of daily newspaper. There is
much disappointment the appearance
of the paper. 1t is not much of II
radical change as some people anticipated
1t will not come mp to the standard of
what was purported to be newspaper
Jesus would conduct it. There is some
Improvement in the general makeup of
the mechanical psrt of the paper, some
advertise nlents are excluded, but outside
of a changed style in advertising matter,
the character of the business advertise-
ments is unchanged. The first page of
the paper begins with .'morning prayer
and resolve,'' credited to Bishop Vincent
The starving India news; the prohibition
question and the cruelty of war is given
Each writer for the paper signs his name
or initials to the article he writes, and the
names of the entire office force, including
the ssgalley slave is at the head of the
editorial columns. The editorial page
has column article by Mr.. Sheldon, and
items of Kansas news are found this
page. The third page has general news.
Fourth page contains local news, and
there is not much of changed feature
from the Gentle Capital. The fifth page
has contributions and miscellaneous mat
ter. The 9th, 9Th and Sth pages are en-
tirely filled with advertising matter, and
the makeup feature is not pleasing. The
style of some of the makeup of the
advs. is abominable, and they look like
advertisements OF free distribution
papers.
Mr.. Sheldon says the ssCapital will be
a newspaper. The word news viii be
deffued anything in the way of daily
events that the public ought TO know for
its development and power in a life of
righteousness 1t will be non partisan
in municipal, State and national politics
It will advocate prohibition from Maine
to Cali fornia.
tsThe great social question of the age
will be given prominence. 1t Will de-
clare its adherence of war. The main
purpose of the paper will be to Influence
its readers to seek first the Kingdom of
God.''
The Capital will doubt be a modeI
christian paper this week, but the reader
will be much in doubt ever about
sswhat Jesus would do'' were he on earth
1t is hoped that the Sheldon experiment.
will lead to improvement on certain
lines. 1t certainly can do no harm.
Whether it will satisfy the readers a
daily diet is not the question. The moral
tone of the press will no doubt be i'm
proved On these lines Improvement is
always desired.

TO RAISE TIMBER.
The Santa Fe Railway Likely to Raise
Tie and Pole Trees

The Santa Fe Railway Likely to Raise
Tie and Pole Trees
The division of forestry is in con-
suItation with the A. r. & S. f. rail
way company over a contemplated
innovation IN American railway
methods. The Santa Fe is consider
ing raising tie and pole timber on a
large scale on their now non utilized
right-of-way lands. Other large
western roads are also interested.
This action is due chiefly to the
falling of the natural supply Of this
material in all but the newer portions
of the United States About one
million acres of timber are consumed
annually by railroads in buildings
and repairing, and at the present
rate of timber depletion the increased
cost Of such material will soon be a
serious factor in railroad economy.
The Santa F'e line has already done
some experimental planting and the
results have done much to stimulate
interest This road planted 1880
acres in catulpas fifteen years ago.
The total expense was $128, ,OOO;. but
1t is estima ated by the railroad offici-
ais that in ten years more the tract
will have produced 50, 100000 worth
of poles, ties and posts.
Having become convinced of the
Necessity of growing their own
timber, the railroads naturally wish
to take advantage of the assistance
offered by the government to tree
planters which consists of expert
advice, and of the working plans for
planting, based on personal examina-
ton. The object of the government
is to demonstrate the value Of tree
planters to land owners, especially
those in the treeless regions of the
west-Mail and Breeze.

My DEAR SIR:-I am in receipt of
your letter calling my attention to the
attempt made by certain wholesale drug
gists to induce the Agricultural Depart
ment to cease making free distribution of
black-leg vaccine. do not think that
the attempt will succeed. The depart
ment has gone to considerable expense TO
equip itself for this work, and has been
eminently successful. It is approved by
the stock growers all over the country,
and L do not believe, in the face of the
protests that are coming in, that adverse
action will be taken by Congress. but tn at
a liberal appropriation will be made to
carry the good work. L am heartily
in sympathy with the experiments that
have been conducted along this line, and
shall do all that L can to see that they are
continued.

such action on the part of the con

FOUR REPUBLICAN CONTENTIOUS.
Comment on tho Principal Arguments o
the Party In Power.

Comment on tho Principal Arguments of
the Party In Power.
The principal arguments, however,
advanced by those who enter upon
defense of Imperialism are:
First: That we must improve the
present opportunity to become world
power and enter iuto international pol
tiles.
Second: That our commercial inter-
ests in the Philippine islands and in
the Orient make it necessary for us to
hold the islands permanently.
Third: That the spread of the Chris
tian religion will be facilitated by a
colonial policy.
Fourth: That there is no honorable
retreat from the position which the
alton has taken.
The first argument is addressed to
the nations pride and the second to the
nations pocket-bOok. The third Is in
The Weiser signal. [volume] (Weiser, Idaho) 1890-1904, 1900-08-16
tended for the church membe.
fourth for the partisan.

tenueu IOr the cnurcn memDe.
fourth for the partisan.
1t is a sufficient answer to the first
argument to say that for more than a
century this nation has been a world
power. For ten decades it has been
the most potent influence in the world.
Not only has it been world power,
but it has done more to AFFECT the poll
ties of the human race than all the 9TH
er nations of the world combined. Be-
cause our Declaration Of independence
was promulgated others have been pro-
mulgated; because the patriots of 1776
fought for liberty others have fought
for 1t; because our constitution was
adopted other constitutions have been
adopted. The growth of the principle
Of government, planted on Ameri-
can soil, has been the over-shadowing
political fact of the nineteenth CEN
fury.
The permanent chairman of the last
Republican national convention pre-
sented the pecuniary argument in all
its badness, when he said: I'VE make
no hypocritical pretenses Of being
interested in the Philippines solely on
account Of others. While we regard the
welfare of these people as a sacred
trust we regard the welfare of the
American people first We see our duty
to ourselves as well as to others. We
believe in trade expansion. By every
legitimate means within the province
of government and constitution we
mean to stimulate the expansion of
our trade and open new markets"
This is the commercial argument. 1t
is based upon the theory that war
can be rightly waged for pecuniary
advantage, and that it is profitable to
purchase trade by force and violence.
Franklin denied both of these propo-
| SitiOnS.
l place the philosophy Of Franklin
against the sordid doctrine of those
who would put price upon the life
of an American soldier and justify a
war of conquest upon the ground that
it will pay. The Democratic party Is
in favor of the expansion of trade. 1t
would extend our trade by every legiti-
mate and peaceful means; but it is not
willing to make merchandise of human
blood.
But war of conquest is as unwise
as it is unrighteOus. A harbor and
coaling station in the Philippines
would answer every trade and mill
tary necessity and such concession
could have been secured at any time
without difficulty.
1t is not necessary to own people in
order to trade with them. We carry
on trade today with every part of the
world, and our commerce has expand
ed more rapidly than the commerce of
any European empire. When
trade is secured by force, the cost OF
securing it and retaining it must be
taken out of the profits, and the profits
are never large enough to cover the ex-
! pense. Such system would never be
defended. but for the fact that. the ex
The Weiser signal. [volume] (Weiser, Idaho) 1890-1904, 1900-08-16

pense is borne by an the people, while
the profits are enjoyed by the few.
Imperialism would be profitable to
the army contractors; it would be prof
table to the ship-owners, who would
carry live soldiers to the Philippines
and bring dead soldiers back; it would
be profitable to those who would seize
upon the franchises, and it would be
profitable to the officials whose salaries
would be fixed here and paid over
there; but to the farmer, to the labor
ing man, and to tie vast majority of
those engaged in o,her occupations, it
would bring expenditure without re-
turn and risk without reward.
Farmers and labOring men have, as
a rule, small incomes and under sys-
tens which place the tax upon con
sumption pay more than their fair
share of the expenses of government.
Thus the very people who receive least
benefit from Imperialism will be in
jured most by the military burdens
which accompany it. 1t is
not strange, therefore, that the labor
organizations have been quick to note
the approach Of these dangers and
