Rheumatic pains are the cries of protest
and distress from tortured muscles, aching
joints and excited nerves. The blood has
been poisoned by the accumulation OF
waste matter in the system, and can no
longer supply the pure and health sustain
ing food they require. The whole system
feels the effect of this acid poison; and
not until the blood has been purified and
brought back 10 a healthy condition will
the aches and pains cease.

Kansas City, May 3.-Among the
propositions taken up by h railway
mail clerks of Missouri, Kansas. Colo

tion, in session at the Midland hotel,
was the establishment Of an insurance
association which is to compete direct
~ with the old line life and accident

have now an accident Insurance COM
pany, which has been in existence near
ly two years, but changes are proposed
which will put this insurance associa-
ton on the same basis as old line com
panies.
There were at first twelve members
of the mutual insurance organization

members, and the association has &c.

Der who is killed while on duty $1,000 is
paid to his heirs If a clerk is injured,
SIS a week is paid to him while he is
unable to work. provided he is not dis
abled longer than a year. 1t is pro-
posed to increase the payment for a

Historic Material is Coming to
Mr. Wilder Daily.
L KINDS OF RELICS.
Material Runs From Passes to
Mechanical Equipment.
Mr.. WiIder's Circular Letter
Responsible For the Influx.

The circular letter sent out by Mr..
Edward Wilder asking for aid in ecur-
ing data for an exhaustive history of
the Santa Fe road will likely result in
the establishment Of a Santa Fe
Museum" at the general offices in this
city.
In addition to many interesting letters
Mr.. Wilder is receiving almost daily
relics of the early history of the road.
These include everything pertaining to
a railroad system from pieces of ancient
pasteboard to bits of historic
equipment BY the time Mr.. Wilder is
ready to commence his history, he will
probably have an unlimited stock of
material on hand.
It has been suggested that arrange
ments be made for a room in the gen.
eral office building where these bits of
Santa Fe history can be placed on dis
play. Many of the officials favor the
idea, and a santa Fe Museum" seems
probable in the near future.

TEARING DOWN CARS.
Santa Fe Putting All 2s-Foot Freight
Cars Out of Service.

In accordance with an order issued
about two weeks ago, all the small %
foot boxcars belonging to the Santa Fe
road are being sent into the shops as
fast as they can be taken from service,
where they are being torn down.
The reason for this is that the % foot
cars are altogether too small for the
present needs of the roa and it is in
the interest of economy to tear them
down and build larger ones.
All the boxcars turned put Of the
shops now are from "a to 40 feet in
length. Cars are being built as fast as
possible. A full force Of men is work
ing full time in the sheds. About so
new cars can be turned out each week.
It is estimated that on an average
about ten cars per day are torn down.
This work will continue as long as there
are small cars left.

in Embarrassment.
The following story about Congress-
man Curtis is taken from the Washing
ton Post:
Representative Charlie Curtis, of
Kansas, is the subject of a story, the
scene Of which is laid in a recent visit
to the office of Commissioners Binger
Hermann. of the land Office. Mr.. Curtis
is very pleasant in his relations with
everybody, and not the least with the
officials Of the various departments
where he has business. He served in
congress with Mr.. Hermann, and when
he went down to the land Office h 9th
times. The conversation was especially
jolly, as we'll as reminiscent, and the
commissioner enjoyed it quite as much
to touch upon Mr.. Hermann's defeat for
the Republican nomination for the
Fifty-hfth congress. It's too bad they
didn't keep you in the house" declared
Mr.. Curtis. you were just the man
for the place" and so on.
At this Mr.. Hermann'S face grew ser
ious and he assumed a stOlid look. Rep
resentative Thomas H. Tongue, of Ore
gon, who defeated Mr.. Hermann for
the nomination was in the room, and
the conversation up to that time had
been th-ree-cOrnered. Mr.. Curtis o o
caught on to the situation, and refresh
ed his memory suddenly about political
history in Oregon. Mr.. Tongue is telling
the incident now with a great deal OF
relish.
