LOCOMOTIVE RUN WITH OIL.

One OF the largest railroads on the Pa
ciic Coast has decided to substitute oil
in place of coal as fuel on its engines.
But whether the experiment will prove
success remains to be seen. In this re-
spect it differs from the famous Hostel
ters Stomach Bitters, which has made
decided success in its fifty years of cures
of stomach ills such as dyspepsia. indi-
gestion and blliousness. Do not expert
ment with unknown remedies when this
safe and reliable medicine can be had of
any druggist. Try a bottle and be con-
WINGED. 1t will build up your debilitated
system, strengthen your weak stomach
and make it capable of digesting the food
taken into it, and when this is done
health must naturally follow.

INGALLS, REPLY TO ADMIRE.
Politics Wasn't an Exact Science, He Sad,
and Prophecy Might Fail.

BOlltlCS NASnt an Exact science, ne IA "
and Prophecy Might Fail.
Jacob Admire, editor OF the King
fisher Free Pr, SIS, was for 4 any years
a friend Of tie ate John J. Ingalls,.
Following the senatorial election ia
Kansas in 1895, he printed an editor
in his newsp paper in which he said in
part:
The Kansas senatorial election set
tied some things pretty effectually
One of the things that it settled is that
ex- Senator Ingalls, hes lost his grip on
his old seat Atchison and Leaven-
worth are side by side and both on the
eastern Missouri river border of the
state. Another thing which it settles
is that of all cf TIE open svowcd can
d,dates who went down in defeat, Bur
ton is the only one who VIII survive.
AS before said, it removes Ingalls, and
puts west tern Kansas on her mettle.
Burton's defeat was victory"
The editorial piqued ingalls,. who
wrote under date of Galveston, Texas,
February 4, 1895, as follows.
Dear dmlre: Don De TOO ce'Laln
about the removal OF Ingalls, Poll
tics is not n exact science and 1T is
much easier TO prophecy after an
event. People don't care much about
the map and geography has never
been a very important element In our
affairs except just before election.
Pomyroy's location in Atchison did not
prevent the election of Caldwell from
Leavenworth, nor CAldwelrs location
at Leavenworth prevent my election
from Atchison, and PETER and Martin
both live in the same to ~n. The fight
is on from this time hence forward,
and whoever wants the place will
have to reckon with me no matter
where he may live.
Il hope tie have your sympathy and
cooperation as l have so often had in

hand writing is due to the fact that
