MONSTER ENGINES ARRIVE.
Two Fast Locomotives From the
Baldwin Company Received.

1t takes something unusual to bring
out a crowd around the railroad yards
here, but there was something eXcep-
tiOna1 when the first two of the big
Baldwin passenger locomotives when
the Santa Fe has ordered rolled into
Topeka on the local freight Wednesday
afternoon.
These engines are of the prairie
type, and their size causes extra re-
marks even from the railroad men. In
the first place the cab is about as big
as a house. The boiler is proportion
ately large, and there are two doors
through which the coal is to be fed to
on either side of the boiler 26 inches.
Under the machine are three pairs of
driving wheels, each 10 inches in diam
eter; that is, feet Z inches across, or
more than TIE height of the average
man. Behind the drivers is a pair of
traiers and in front one pair of pony
trucks. The stroke of the engines is
90 inches, and it is calculated that
hooked up to the heaviest passenger
trains the Santa Fe runs these mon
sters will bowl along at a speed of 20
miles an hour without overworking
themselves.
The engines come directly from the
works at Phila delphia, and are to be set
up here. The snlokestaclxs have not
be hung. besides lot of other details
which will be fixed up in the course of
two days or such 2 matter They are

UNION PACIFIC ESTIMATE.
Loses on Kansas Corn but Recoups on
the Wheat Crop.

An official of the Union Pacific road
in speaking of the immediate prospects
of that system, said:
I'VE are now able to get fair esti-
mate of crops this year on our lines
We shall lose corn in Kansas and Ne
braska, but we gain wheat in both
states. We gain in general business on
the mountain divisions, and we gain on
the Pacific coast Unless there should
be some new calamity, the Union Pa
cific will earn IS much in the year end
ing June 30, 1862, as it did in the year
ended June 80, 1901. What we lose il
the east will be made UP in the west,
leaving the total about even.
I'VE shall derive a good deal of ben
eft from the Southern Pacific. directly
and indirectly. Directly through the
facilities which we have acquired in
California and indirectly because the
great increase in Southern Pacific earn
ings obviously increases the value Of
Union Pacific holdings OF Southern Pa
cific stock This is quite apart from
the question of dividends. Money put
into the Southern Pacific property is
worth just as much, if not more, to US
than money received in dividends on the
stock We want to see the Central
Pacific division of the Southern Pacific
near the standard of our own lines

of these juices. With the body fatigued
and continually in action, the blood is drawn
away from the digestive organs, hence the
digestive fluids cannot be supplied. Natur-
ally this leaves lot of undigested food in
the stomach that is not only useless but
harmful. Now what is to be done?
1t must be digested. A little stimulant
might help it temporarily, but that makes
the next meal still more difficult to digest,
as it draws on the digestive juices unnatur-
ally and soon exhausts them. The only cor
rect, common sense way of treating these
cases is to furnish substitute, which must,
in order to be effectual contain exactly the
same elements in exactly the same proper
tions as the natural digestive fluids.
The one preparation which can be abso-
lutely proven to meet these requirements is
Kodol Dyspepsia Cure. 1t is not an expert
ment at your expense but the result of ex-
periments at our expense. 1t is not mere
stimulant to aid digestion, but is itself
combination of all the digestants and actu-
ally digests the food by its own individual
powers of action without any aid whatever
from the digestive organs. 1t will digest
food even in bottle under proper condi-
tions, temperature, etc. SO it certainly
can't help having the same action in the
stomach.

Northern Pacific directors of a resolu-

The National Disease.

If there is any disease entitled to such a
distinction it is certainly dyspepsia. It is
safe to say that not one person in ten enjoys
the blessings of perfect digestion, strange
though it may seem. Why is this?
Digestion is slow process by which
nature transforms the food into state
suitable for nourishment for the body. The
time required varies from one to six hours
or more, according to the food. In the
hurry, worry and hustle, the striving for the
almighty dollar, the goth century American
fails to give proper heed to natures de-
mands upon his time. He gets up in the
morning, bolts his breakfast without half
chewing it, washes it down with hot coffee
or other liquid and rushes off to his business.
At noon, it. rush home to the lunch
counter, eat his lunch hastily while fatigued
and out of BREATH then rush back to bust
wess. One Of the greatest essentials to pro-
per digestion is the mastication or chewing
of food, to thoroughly mix it with saliva. II
this is not done, the food passes into the
stomach in condition which does not per-

juices there, even though there be sufficient

X. U.-MISsOURI GAME.
Thanksgiving Contest Likely to Be
Held at st. Joe.

On account of the trouble in securing
a field for the annual Kansas Missouri
football game at Kansas City on
Thanksgiving it has been suggested that
the game be transferred to Topeka or
st. Joseph.
The game will not come to Topeka
as the Washburn-Ottawa annual game
is to be played on the Washburn field
and Manager Huron would not cancel
that game for Washburn to allow the
universities to play here and Manager
Foster of the K u. team would not try
to run any opposition to the annual
game in Topeka. If the K U.-M. u.
game is not played in Kansas City It
will likely go to st. Joseph.
