DEMAND FOR ROLLING STOCK
December Orders of Railroads Amount
to 1888 Cars and 432 Engines.

During the month of December orders
for 1888 cars of all kinds and for 432
locomotives were noted by the Railroad
Gazette. OF the cars 731 will be built
by railroads at their own shops. OF the
entire number ordered, 7,404 were box,
stock, furniture and refrigerator cars;
3,075 were coal and gondola cars, 1875
were fiat cars, 1,500 were steel cars, 20
were tank cars and 309 were for passen-
ger and street railroad service. OF the
432 locomotives noted, ten were for ex-
port and the division of types was ap-
proximately, 107 passenger locomotives,
279 freight locomotives and forty-six
switching locomotives.
This summary shows an increase in
cars ordered over the November record
of almost "a per cent, while the increase
in locomotives ordered is 10 per cent.
The increase of the December over the
June record is about three and three
fourth times as many locomotives, and
about two and three-fourths times as
many cars.

WHAT IS
THE REASON 3?

Why is it that you are not equal to
the task Nature sets for you to do?
Why do you find weakness stealing
ever you and growing day by day?
Why that ashy, chall1y complexion?
Why that inability to hold your urine?
Why those distressing pains across
your back?
All these symptoms are unmistakable
evidences Of kidney trouble.
The kidneys, that make the human
engine of life move as Nature intended,
are not working properly and should
have prompt attention.
If you need a medicine for kidney,
bladder or uric acid trouble, you should
begin using the famous new discovery,
DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root. 1t gives
quick relief, and cures the most dis
tressing cases.
Hospitals use it in all kinds Of cases,
especially severe and urgent ones. Doc
tors prescribe it freely in their practice
and in their families, and use it when
they need a kidney and bladder tonic
themselves.
Tens Of thousands of grateful pa
tents have written to DR.. Kilmer & Co.
and these letters have been fashioned
into a handy volume Of ready refer
ence, which should be in every house
hold. This volume and a sample bottle
Of Swamp-Root will be mailed to any
reader Of this paper who will send name
and address to DR.. Kilmer & Co, and
state that they read this generous Of
fer in the Topeka Daily State Journal.
If there is any doubt in your mind as
to your condition, take from your urine
on arising about two ounces, place it in
a glass or bottle and let it stand twenty.
four hours. If, on examination, it is
milky or cloudy, If there is brick dust
settling. or if small particles float about
in it, your kidneys are in need Of i'm
mediate attention.
Swamp-Root is for sale everywhere in
bottles Of two sizes and two prices, fifty
cents and one-dollar. Remember the
name, swamp-Root, and the address.

PRIZE KANSAS CORN.
Judges Award Prizes In Commercial
Club Competition.

Southern and southeastern Kansas
can raise corn, if size of ears, and quail
ity of kernels count for anything. At
least that is the verdict of the commit
tee which made the awards in the Com
mercial club corn contest.
The sample entered by T. D. Hub
bard, of Kimball, at last made its ap-
pearance yesterday, and the awards
were made by the committee yesterday
afternoon.
1t is said that Mr. Hubbard's corn
proved to be much larger than any 9TH
er sample submitted, and it was award
ed first prize for white corn.
NeoSho county took both first and
second prize on white corn. Sumner
county, also in southern Kansas, took
first prize on yellow corn, but the sec
ond prize went to Nemaha county.
Jewell and Republic counties, which
claim to be the banner corn counties
in the state, did not go into the con-
test.
The report of the committee on awards
is as follows:
Topeka, Jan. g. 1900
Hon. T. J. Anderson, Secretary Com
mercial Club:
Commercial club, the undersigned, as
a committee to award prizes offered by
the club for Kansas corn submitted for
exhibition at the Paris exposition of
lSOU, nave WIFI nuCn care examined
said corn, and made the awards, as fol-
lows:
Bushel white corn-First prize, Thos.
D. Hubbard, Kimball; second price, D.
W. Matsler, Chanute; third prize, Grant
Z. Kelsey, Station A, Topeka.
Bushel yellow corn-First prize, Hugh
Griffith, Belle Plaine; second prize, W.
G. Rucker, Corning; third prize, H. z.
jackson, Tecumseh.
Bushel sweet corn-First prize, Brad
ford Miller, Topeka; second prize,
Luther Hay, Menoken.
Bushel pop corn-First prize, w. R.
Beck Hamlin; second prize, Ralph
Dyal. Station B, Topeka
Bushel calico corn-First prize, J. S.
Hitchcock, Manhattan.
Bushel red corn-First prize, w. S.
Hay, Menoken.
There were many samples of very
excellent corn submitted which were a
great credit to the growers and the
competition these would be deemed well
worthy of prizes, and it is a source of
regret to your committee that the limit
ed number of prizes your club could Of
fer made it impossible to give recogni-
ton to all who so we'll deserved it.
Given a fair deal at Paris Kansas
need have no fears of this corn not
holding it's own with any, come from
where it may, and while we as Kansans
will be gratified if it is declared the best
an 0. K. from Paris will by no means
be essential to Kansas happiness and
Kansas success as the actual world
beaten in corn production.

will result, but If Jeffries beats me he

Il do not hold Corbett lightly In this

perience that he can deliver a. hard blow,
