the ovation which he received on his re-
turn from the west last summer shows
in how high regard he was held by
them.
Mr.. Henderson, who is to succeed to
the position made vacant by Mr.. Player,
has been with the Santa Fe but few
months. but he has demonstrated capa-
bilities of a high order and is extreme
~ well liked by the men. Before coming
here he held a similar position with the
Chicago and Northwestern, and prev
ious to that he was with the Norfolk
and Western and the American Loco
motive works at Schenectady, N. Y. He
is a practical mechanic, having served
an apprenticeship as a machinist in the
shops of the Pennsylvania railroad.
Further, he possesses a thorough tech
nical training and is quite up to the
times in the line of his work.
No one has been named to take the
place of Mr.. Henderson. Mr.. Player
left Wednesday evening for Chicago
where he will hold a consultation with
the higher officials of the road regard
ing filing the vacancy. Mr.. Player will
be in Topeka until about the first of
next year when he expects to leave for
California.

stance of Game Warden Counsman, in

the birds, which he seized. Employees
on the car claimed the quail came from

A RELIGIOUS PILGRIMAGE
Santa Fe Grants a Special Train For
Wellington Revival Services.

The people of Winfield are bound to
get religion, even if they have to go to
Wellington for it. The Santa Fe has
announced a special excursion train
this evening from Winfield to Yelling
ton for the purpose of taking people to
Wellington to attend revival services in
progress there.
1t appears that a revivalist has been
holding meetings in Winfield for some
time, and has made a great impression
with the people there. He was obliged
to go to Wellington to fill a date, and
the people of Winfield decided they
would go too. Hence they applied for
a special train over the Santa Fe, and
it was granted. The train will go to
Wellington in time for the services, and
return as soon as they are completed.

CAUSE OF DEAFNESS.
The Most Common Cause Only Re-
Gently Discovered.

It has been stated on good medical
authority that ninetenths OF cases of
deafness are caused from catarrh or
from sore throat trouble.
The little tube which leads to the ear
from the throat is lined with a sort OF
velvety structure called mucous MEM
brane. This membrane is simply con-
tinuation of the mucous membrane lin
ing the throat. When disease of any
sort attacks the mucous membrane of
the throat it is very liable to extend
into the Eustachian tube and up into
the ear.
The history of nearly all cases of
deafness is like this: a cold is contract
ed and neglected. other colds are taken,
the throat becomes sore and inf1amed,
which is aggravated by particles of dust
and germs from the air This condition
causes the disease to spread into the
tube that leads to the ear.
1t seems a little far fetched to say
that most cases of deafness are caused
from catarrh, but it is certainly true
and any one who has had a severe ca
tarrhal cold must have noticed how the
hearing was affected while the cold
lasted.
With catarrh sufferers this impair
ment of hearing becomes chronic and
grows worse the longer the catarrh is
neglected.
You can cure catarrh and deafness by
the regular use of excellent new
preparation called Stuart's Catarrh
Tablets, composed of antiseptic RENE
dies which act both on the mucous
membranes but principally and most
effectually on the blood, eliminating the
catarrhal poison from the system.
People whose hearing is defective
may think it little remarkable that a
simple and harmless tablet would very
often remove all traces of deafness, but
when it is remembered that catarrh
causes the deafness and that the ca
tarrh is easily cured by the regular use
of Stuart's Catarrh Tablets there is no
mystery about it,
If you are subject to nasal catarrh or
catarrh of throat. bronchial tubes or
catarrh of stomach and liver, the safest
and most effective treatment is the new
catarrh specific, Stuart's Catarrh Tab
lets, sold by all druggists at 90 cts. for
full sized package.
