HAzEN BADLY HURT.
Weather Forecaster's Skull
Cracked by a Fall.

Washington, Jan. 23.-Henry A. Hazen,
president of meteorology and a forecas-
ter at the weather bureau in this city,
was probably fatally injured last night by
being thrown from his bicycle. The ac-
cident occurred while the professor was
on his way to the bureau. At the corner
of Sixteenth and NJ street he ran into a
colored man. the force of the contact
throwing him from the wheel and pitch-
ing him forward on his head. The blow
was a terrific one the skull being crack
ed from over the nose to the back of the
head, and causing also a. hemorrhage of
the brain.
Physicians afterwards trephined the
skull and removed a large cIot of blood
from the right side. They say the in
jury is one of the most severe on rec
ord and the chances for recovery are very
remote. Prof. Hazen was for sometime
assistant to Prof. LOOMS, of Yale. but
since 1881 has been Identified with the
government weather service at Washing
ton. Prof. Hazen was highly regarded as
old.

FREIGHT RUNS CHANGED.
Santa Fe Crews Will Leave Hutchin-
son for Great Bend.

Hutchinson, Jan. 23.-It is rumored
anon the local railroad men that four
local freight crews now running out Of
Hutchinson will be moved to Great
Bend the first of next month. The rea-
son assigned for this is that the present
runs are too long. The crews affected
are those of trains Nos. II and 70. and -
and "A. One run extends from Hutchin-
son to Emporia east, the other from
Hutchinson to Dodge City west
Some of the trainmen believed that
they were permanently located here and
have bought homes in Hutchinson. Con-
seQuently they are not delighted at the
prospect of moving to Great Bend.
Those who do not own their houses very
much prefer living here The trainmen
will be much put out if the order comes
to pack their trunks

HUsT1ING wEsTERNERs.
They Are Forcing Their Way Into
Eastern Railroad Life.

Philadelphia, Jan. 23.-The railroad
man, one of the most important factors
IN the building up of the great west, IS
drifting back to the Atlantic coast
again, with the same purpose for which
he first crossed the Alleghenies. His
presence is felt more and more in east
ern railway circles, where his fresh
methods and profitable reforms render
MS services of great value. AS divis-
ion superintendent he saves money for
his company and introduces new ideas
of administration which he absorbed
out west. AS executive he makes every
inch of rolling stock do it's work, and
wins approval because of his econoni-
cal management. On the road, as an
engineer, the western railroad man is
springing rapidly into prominence and
slowly but surely elbowing his eastern
brother away from the throttle.
The survival of the man from the
plains has never been noticeable until
this year. Railroad men born in this
part of the country and brought up in
the business within walking distance of
their birthplaces are awakening to the
threatening invasion of the hustling
transmissiSSippian.

WILL BE NO DIVIDEND.
Missouri Pacific Earnings Have Been
Used In Betterments.

New York, Jan. 23-It is positively
stated at the Office of the Missouri Pa
cific Railway company in this city that
no dividend will be declared out of
earnings for 1899.
While the company has made very
good earnings for the year, there have
been such heavy expenditures for bet
terments that the operating expenses
will show an exceedingly high rate; and
that If all expenditures made the past
year were charged to income there
would be very little surplus above fixed
charges. AS the Missouri Pacific has
no treasury assets on which it can
draw for betterment expenditures, all
these charges must be met out of in
come, whether so charged or not.

rope every year have at last decided to
learn something about their own coun-
try. They are coming west and visit
ing Mexico.
Tt is a remarkable fact that hun
dreds of eastern people who know all
about Europe are in absolute ignorance
OF America. Some Of them come as far
as Chicago and imagine they have seen
the entire west and south, and when
they go to Europe and pose as travellers
they are made to appear ridiculous by
English travellers who have been all
over the United States and Mexico.
These Americans are now visiting Cali
fornia and Mexico. Mexico's climate
in winter and summer makes travellers
IN that country all the year round.'

An Old Theory
Exploded.
Food Not Digested in the
Stomach.
This Organ Only Prepares 1t for Assimi.
IatiOn by the Intestines,

Until a few months ago the medical
profession, as well as the public at
large, have always believed that food
was digested in the stomach; but
thanks to science, they are now en-
abled to follow the whole process of
digestion with their own eyes from the
moment Good enters the mouth until
it is taken into the system, or carried
off through the bowels. Heretofore all
remedies for the cure of dyspepsia have
been given with the idea of assisting
the stomach to digest food, and the
discovery that this organ does not di-
gest it at all explains the cause of their
failure to cure the disease, and it's con-
slant increase in spite of the thousand
and one remedies used. Another and
equally important discovery was also
made; that there are three distinct
kinds of dyspepsia, two of which re-
Qulre different remedies, and the rem
edy for one must be exactly opposite
to that of the other in character. For
instance, acid dyspepSia requires an
alkaline treatment; indigestion an acid
treatment; these combined and given in
one dose neutralize each other, conse-
quently, cannot be given together with
effect. The third and most dangerous
of all Intestinal dyspepsia). requires a
germicide which must be harmless, and
yet strong enough to destroy the bacilli
which cause the disease. Understandin ?
this and knowing that they possess
the only germicide which can be taken
internally without injury, QIyomeD the
r. z Booth Company have placed on
the market dyspepsia cure, and the
only one which treats every phase of
the disease separately. That it has
been a success is shown Dv the fact
that they guarantee it; something never
done before, and agree to return the
money if a cure is not effected. Send
symptoms and receive free treatment
