MODERN COUNTRY LIFE.
Congressman Calderhead Talks About
Its Development in Kansas.

Its Development in Kansas.
The following is from the Washington
Post:
It does not seem so hard to have to
live in rural Kansas after one has
heard Representative Calderhead dis
course on the modern conveniences and
the money-making proclivities of some
of his own constituents.
There is a little town named Bre-
men q few miles from where / live"
said he yesterday. "A few English
families live there. but most of the
people are Germans and a thrifty and
respectable community they surely are.
I had a rural free delivery mail route
put in for them. The day the route
started there were three subscriptions
for daily papers; not long afterward
there We're LOG. All around in hat sec
ton, as elsewhere in my district, the
club together by ten and fif-
teen to nave telephones. They erect a
line to the nearest railroad station. The
rates to the cities are pretty steep, but
it is no uncommon thing for our farm
ers to telephone into Kansas City TO
learn if it is raining there and also
how the prices for cattle are running.
Il have in mind a German boy from
this little town of Bremen who. like
many of his ne~ighbors, was in the habit
of t~elephoning to Chicago daily to learn
the corn quotations. He went into the
corn market and cleared 1000 in a few
days on the Chicago exchange. These
things just raise your hair. L remem-
Der when he was a barefooted boy.
1.-The prettiest thing I ever saw in the
way of rural telephoning," resumed he
judge, one of. the most stately men in
the national house, was at Concordia.
There / saw some little children climb
upon a chat and call to their cousins
some miles farther out in the country.
One of the little youngsters at the dis
ant end of the line brought his fiddle
to the phone and played for the de-
location of his Concordia cousins the
latest tune he had learned"
Modern country life certainly is
more comfortable than it used to be-"
commented Henry c.. Smith Of Michi-
gar, who had listened with some Won
der to the judges picturesque morning
story.

STRUCK BURNING BRIDGE.
Five Persons Hurt in a Wreck on the
M. z. & T.

Dallas, Tex, Dec. 26lThe northbound
M. K. T. flyer ran into a burned bridge
five miles south of this city. There was
no loss of life, but five persons were in
jured, four cars were destroyed, only
the Pullman being saved. The injured:
J. S. Clark, engineer, Denison, Shout
der and ankle broken.
Fireman William Kearney, Dennison,
cut on head and severely bruised.
Joel Henry, colored, internally
Rose Lull, colored, Waco, slight
Unknown colored woman, slight.
On rounding a curve at Five Mile
Creek Engineer Clark saw a burning
bridge ahead. He reversed his engine,
applied the brakes and jumped, as also
did the f1ren an. The engine crossed the
bridge, but the baggag car went down.
This derailed the engine, which, after
tearing up the track for some distance,
turned over into a ditch. The train be-
hind the baggage car was left standing
on the track and caught fire from the
burning bridge. The passengers were
able to escape from the train by jump
ing down a twelve foot embankment.
The contents of the mail, express and
baggage cars were saved The Pullman
was rolled out of danger by the crew
and passengers, but the remainder Of
the train, including a chair car, two
coaches and a combination mail and
baggage car was

COMING DRAMATIC EVENTS.

-Shakespeare's most ~laughable comedy,
THE Tanning of the Shrew," has been
SO seldom revived in this ountry that
there is much interest attached to the
appearance of Charles B. Hanford'S
production at the Crawford tonight
From every city in which Mr.. Hanford's
revival has been seen this year come
reports of a nature most fattering to
the star and the production. Mr.. Han
ford's company is said to be the strong
est that has ever been associated with
him. 1t is headed by Helen GRAVITY,
whose beauty and talent have excited
much admiration. The Italian scenes in
lent chance for the display of the
scenic artists skill. The beautiful de-
signs and colorings in Mr.. Hanford'S
revival are said to be a conspicuous fea-
ture of the production, while the cos
tuning and general appointments are
all that could be desired. The story OF
1.-THE Tanning of the Shrew," which IS
includes some of the funniest situations
ever put on the stage. The efforts of
Petruchio to tame his shrewish wife
Katherine are always received with
ShriekS of laughter.

HOPEFUL VIEW

The hopeful view consump-
tives take of their own cases is
strongly in their favor. Each
year is showing a larger per-
centage of cures.
One of the best reasons for
good hope is the record Of
SCOTS Emulsion as a medicine
for c~onsumptives. So long as
the system is strong enough to
use medicine of any kind it can
use SCOTS Emulsion.
The reason for its helpful
ness in this disease is because
of its long tolerance by the
patient; one does not tire OF
it as quickly as other medi
cines and that is where the
great benefit comes.

them. What happened to them Is OF
que occurrence, and in three cases
out of four might have been prevented
by the use of Stuart's Catarrh Tablets
These tablets cure all kinds of catarrh-
They can be bought at any drug store
for so cents a box.
That Stuart's Catarrh Tablets do
chan tubes and the head noises and
deafness resulting therefrom is attested
by the following:
Mrs. Jane harlow, the famous mo-
diste, says: Il finally had to give up
personal attention to my customers. and
in many of them went else
where. 1 was in despair for specialists
seemed powerless to help me; Stuarts
Catarrh Tablets cured me In just q
little while SO completely that o L
hear as well as ever"
Army Surgeon c.. S. Beverly became
so deaf from catarrh that he was forced
to resign his position and his
profession. He says: "Of course my in
herent professional prejudice was hard
to overcome, but knowing of the great
benefit you had received, my dear Gem
eral, through the use of Stuart's Catarrh
Tablets, / used them. The great and
almost immediate relief l experienced
was truly astonishing. I am now en-
tireIy cured and have no fear of the
disease returning. 1 go back to my old
post next month";"
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets have done it,
do do it, will do it. Try them and DO
drug store at 30 cents a box. 1t will put
you to very little trouble or expense to
prove VIVA they will do for you. Send
to f. A. Stuart Co, Marshall, Mich, for
their free book about catarrh. A postal
card will bring it Write today.

DIDN'T SEE THE POINTS.
Prof. C. a. Strong's Witty Observa-
lions Fell on Unresponsive Ears.

Some of the jokes sprung on the
teachers last night were entirely lost
In responding to Governor Stanley's
welcome Prof. c. A Strong, of Ellis. re-
marked that while the ach are an
orderly lot, he understood if any of
them made trouble there was a Stahl
in Topeka to receive them. Then he
paused a moment, waiting for the joke
to hit the crowd, but it failed to land
Prof. Strong continued:
"And I understand that he Hughes
close to the line"
Another pause.
Another failure.
Joke didn't hit.
The teachers were evidently either
ignorant of Topeka city politics OF they
were not in a mood to appreciate a good
pun.

impairment Of hearing robs one of
many of the joys OF life. exposes TO
danger, interferes with capacity for use
fulness, limits ability to transact bust
ness and earn a living. Many annually
abandon their plans, ambitions ana
hopes on account of loss of hearing.
In nearly every case of partial or
complete deafness there is another fea-
ture that to many is more troublesome
than the difficulty of hearing-the dis
tracing head noises. These max such
an impression On some as to almost
drive them insane. The everlasting
buzzing, ringing swapping, rumble or
prevents rest at night.
Nine cases out of ten of heads noises
and progressive hardness of hearing are
due to catarrh of the middle ear or of
the tube leading from it to the throat

hearing and silence the distractins

that the tubes will be and keep open

middle ear. No locally applied medicine
will effectually do this, only a searching
constitutional alternative and resolvent
will cure catarrh in the deep receSses of
the head.
Two a-cquaintances of the writer were
run down and killed by the cars in one
year Both had catarrh of the head,
which had extended up the e~uStachian

into the omaha building, directly across
the street from where they are now To-
Gated
President Purdy took little interest in
the vacation of the old station, for he
was not to move with the offices.
Il have been forty-two years with the
a rest" he said. During the entire
period I have taken no vacation. I may.
however, get back into the railroad
harness if I get tired of resting"
As Mr.. Purdy spoke he fondled a
onze paper weight.
THAT is a relic of the great fire. 1t
was the knob of the safe into which I
placed all the records of the road. I be-
ing secretary at the time. After the
fire the first thing I did was to see
whether the vault had been destroyed.
When l took hold of the knob it fell off
in my hands. I had it bronzed and
have used it as a paper weight ever
since"
ASKED if Mr.. Leeds, Mr.. Purdy's sue
cessor as executive officer of the Rock
Island, would move his residence to
he SO intended.
There has been some surprise ex-
pressed that a man of Mr.. Leeds wealth
would care to buckle down to the work
of operating a big railroad" was Sug-
geSted to Mr.. Purdy.
1T often happens hat a man desires
to run an affair he owns or is largely
interested in," was the answer. II
don't know that Mr. Leeds owns a con-
trolling interest in the Rock Island, but
he and his friends, the Moore brothers
and Mr.. Reid, probably do. There is
plenty of work connected with the OPP
Grafton of a railroad"
1t is expected that the work of nov
ing the general offices to the Grand
Central station will be finished by the
end of the week. After Saturday all
through trains of the Lake Shore, Rock
Island and Nickel Plate will use the
Grand Central station.
