AGAINST DoUB1EHEADERs.
Railroad Men Will Ask For Leg1sla-
ton to Abolish Them.

Members of the Brotherhood OF Lo-
connective Engineers, the Brotherhood of
Locomotive Firemen, the Order Of Rail
way Conductors and Brotherhood of
Railway Trainmen, in Kansas, as well
as in Missouri, are arranging to bring
the question of the operation of double
headers before the next session of the
state legislature says the Fort Scott
Monitor. An effort will be made to
have a law passed preventing the run
ming of .doubleheader' freight trains on
railroad lines in Kansas.
THE 'doubIeheader' question is one
that has received much attention of late
in the west Up to the time that rail-
road arrangements took up the tonnage
question with a vengeance as a way of
materially increasing freight earnings
doubleheader' freight trains-freight
trains hauled by two engines coupled
together-were exceptions. Now they
are the rule on western railroads. Not
only can the number Of cars in a train
be more than doubled, but the expense
of at least one train crew is done away
with. Employees of the engine and train
service complained bitterly against the
plan since it first became general but
with little effect Practically a deaf ear
has been turned to their statements that
wrecks have increased as a result Of
Notwithstanding and their consequent
arguments that the hazard of engine
and train work is proportionateIy

All observant physicians have noticed
the enormous increase in catarrhal dis

DR. Risdell says lin patients who had
lost the sense Of smell entirely and even
where the hearing has begun to be al
fected from catarrh have had fine re-
suits after only a few weeks use of Stu

plain their action on the theory that the
cleansing and antispetic properties of
the tablets destroy the catarrhal germs
wherever found because I have found
the tablets equally valuable in catarrh
of the throat and stomach as in nasal
catarrh.

HE oBEYED ORDERS.
How q New Man Followed Advice
and Where He Landed.

They tell good story about a veteran
engineer who was always assigned to
act as guide when a green engineer was
ways as cool as a cucumber and never
got excited. On one occasion he was
showing a new man the line and sitting
behind him in the cab. They were
rounding a sharp curve when they per-
ceived a fagman coming toward them,
waving his red flag frantically-
'tShut her off; call for brakes; reverse
and drop sand,' came the orders from
the guide.
The new man obeyed promptly, then
turned to ask what to do next,and heard
the guide say.
Jump as far as you can, and rum"
He set the example himself, for when
the new engineer got up out of a black
berry patch at the bottom of 80 foot
embanknent, he looked over the fence,
and saw the guide seated on a stump
watching the engine blowing into 3. ca
bose and two boxcars.

You know what happens to a sewer
when it becomes clogged, don't you?
Do you know what happens to the
human system when the kidneys be-
come clogged? They are unable to throw
out the impurities from the blood and
become infected with poisons; they de-
cay, fall apart and pass out in the
urine; the blood, unfltered, carries the
poison all through the system. and if
not checked death follows. THE KID
NEYS ARE THE SEWERS OF THE
HUMAN SYSTEM.
When your kidneys are not doing
their work, some of the symptoms which
prove it to you are pain or dull ache
in the back, excess of uric acid, gravel.
rheumatic pains, sediment in the urine,
scanty supply, scalding Irritation in
passing it, obliged to go often during
the day and to get up many times dur
ing the night to empty the bladder;
sIeeplessness, nervous irritability, dizzi-
ness, irregular heart, breathlessness,
sallow, unhealthy complexion, puffy or

ity.

the first thing yosI should do is to af-
ford aid to your kidneys by using Dr.

He finally got two large rats trained so

he was after. The office was short on
office boys and when the printers were
out of copy he would give a certain tap
on the paste cam and those two rats
would come to him, and then, by making
another sign, they would run into the
editorial room and taking the copy or
the hook would carry it to the foreman.
This saved him many steps. The scheme
worked like a charm excepting when
there was some one in the editorial room
and then the rats would refuse to do their

NEW BUILDINGS.
Eight Have Been Added to Govern

Washington, Nov. 27.-The annual re-
port of John Knox Taylor the super
vising architect of the treasury, shows
that one year ago the office had under
its control 319 completed public build
ings, inclusive of marine hospitals and
quarantine stations. During the last
year eight completed buildings have
been added to the list.
During the past year, says the re-
port, the competitive system authorized
by the act approved February 20, 1893,
has had a practical test in its applica-
ton to three cases and the results at
tanned have been satisfactory so far as
designs and the preparation of working
drawings and specifications are concern

a view to improving the conduct of
business under the act referred to so as
to secure all the advantages contem-
plated by that legislation and remedy

Admits Its Interest

Los Angeles, Cal, Nov. 27.-T. f. Glib
bon, vice president Of the Los Angeles
& Salt Lake railroad. is authority for
the announcement that the Burlington
road is headed for Salt Lake City. When
he was in Salt Lake recently he learned
that the Burlington had purchased sew

surveyors checks we're in circulation.
It is stated that within three weeks
the property of the Terminal road viii

new locomotives and much additional
