Scheme by Which Swindlers Worked
Kansas Railroads.

Wichita, Dec. lot has been discov
cred recently by the officials of the
Santa Fee and Rock Island railroads, so
it is learned from those at Wichita who
use the simplex form of ticket, that
someone was raising these checks of
transportation, but only several days
ago it was found how this was accom-
plished. The simplex form of ticket
is supposed to be of kind that it
would be impossible to alter or change
in any manner without the conductor
discovering it, when the ticket is pre-
sented for passage. Tt has, however.
been demonstrated that it can and has
been done and this is the system;
A ticket, for example, is purchased a
the local office here to Valley Center
1t costs about thirty cents. A ticket is
then sent for and purchased at Nc
Cook, a suburb Of Chicago, to Chicago.
This costs about the same price.
The ticket reading from Wichita to
Valley Center is then completely sew
cred near the center. Cutting off the
portion referring to Valley Center. The
McCoOk to Chicago ticket is also SciS-
sored and the McCook portion severed
The Wichita portion of the one ticket
and the Chicago portion are then put
tagether and pasted in such a manner
as to deceive the closest scrutiny, and
a ticket reading from Wichita to Chi
cago is complete. It is said that the
work of gluing the edges is so perfectly
done that it is believed a special ap-
paratus is used for doing it.
The ticket If purchased here direct
from the local Office to Chicago, would
cost 1855, while by changing two OF
a cost of about so cents. There is not
much work and little danger attached

A FEW REASONS
Which Are Rapidly Making a New
Catarrh Cure Famous.

Stuart's Catarrh Tablets. the new Ca
tarrh cure has the following advantages
over other catarrh remedies.
First: These tablets contain no CO.
caine, morphine or any other injurious
drug and are as safe and beneficial for
children as for adults; this is an import
catarrh remedies do contain these very
Objectionable ingredients.
Next: Being in tablet form this rem
edy does not deteriorate with age, or an
exposure to the air as liquid prepara-
lions invariably do.
Next: The tablet form not only pre-
serves the medicinal properties but it is
so far more convenient to carry and to
use at any time that it is only ques-
ton of time when the tablet will en-
tirely supersede liquid medicines as it
has already done in the medical depart
ment CT the United States army
Next: No secret is made of the COM
position of Stuart's Catarrh Tablets;
they contain the active principles of
Eucalyptus bark, red gum, blood root
and Hydrastin, all harmless antiseptics
which, however, are death to catarrhal
germs wherever found, because they
eleminate them from the blood
Next: You can not cure catarrh by
local applications to the nose and throat
because these are simply local symp-
toms and such treatment can not pcs
sibly reach the real seat of catarrhal
disease which is in the blood: for this
reason, inhalerS. doucheS. sprays ana
powders never really cure catarrh, but
simply give temporary relief which a
dose of plain salt and water will do just
as well.
Catarrh must be driven out of the sys-
tenn. out of the blood, by an internal
remedy because an internal remedy is
the only kind which can be assimilated
into the blood
Stuarts Catarrh Tablets do this bet
ter than the ola form of treatment be-
cause they contain every safe specific
known to modern science in the anti
septic form of the disease.
Next: The use of inhalers and spray
ing apparatuses, besides being ineffec-
tive and disappointing, is expensive,
while a complete treatment of Stuart's
Catarrh Tablets can be had at any drug
store in the United States and Can
ada for so cents.

muscles; makes your head ache and
back ache, causes indigestion, stomach
