SANTA FE HAS THE GRIP
Half the Railroad Force Is Enable TO
NnrEr

The grip has caused more trouble on
the Santa F'e system in southern Kansas
and Oklahoma than the telegaphers'
strike did. In this city half the boys are
in bed and it Is still worse south and
west Of here. Yesterday a reporter for
the Eagle was informed that at many
stations the clerical force is 50 badly de-
moralized on account Of the grip that the
agents found it impossible to make re-
ports. The reports should have been IN
by the first or second of the month. and
the management IS particular about them
Ponca City sent in word that it Is Inn
possible to compile a reR2rt Of the
months business at that city owing to
the grip.
To Santa Fe headquarters came re-
port yesterday from Wellington that the
entire Panhandle division is almost para
lyzed on account Of the grip.
The other roads have the same expert
ence. The Rock Island from Wellington
south TO Chickassha is one continuous
string Of sneezes. It Is said that nine
tenths of the trainmen are afflicted and
that not more than half of them are phys
ically fit for duty.
The Missouri Pacific people think no
body has any troubles but them At
every station along their lines south and
west OF Wichita, some one is sick.

In his praise Of the upright character
and staUnch integrity Of the erstwhiIe
Democratic leader.
One episode ne related was to the ef-
feet that one day he and Billy Bryan
started TO go swimming together down in
the Gle swimming hole" at the creek.
Once there. the sight Of the cold water
and the chill air cooled the ardor Of the
future presidential candidate and coax
as he would, young Humphrey could not
get his companion to enter the water,
and he was obliged TO 90 in alone. This
he did, and while he was in the water
the Bryan youth did as every other true
American boy has many times done; he
tied Humphreys clothes up IN hard
knot and then quietly smiled In grim
humor while ne spent an hour in IN
tangling the hard knot.
Mr. Humphrey speaks in glowing terms
Of the general prosperity Of Oklahoma,
saying that wheat never looked better
and live stock more fourishing, and all
lines Of business and industry in the
most healthy condition

this point or to cite cases Of failure.
because every victim 'of catarrhal
trouble knows it for himself if he has
tried them.
A local application. If It does any
thing at al simply gives temporary
relief; a wash, lotion. salve or powder
can not reach the seat Of the disease
which is the blood
The mucous membrane seeks to re-
lleve the blood Of catarrhal poison by
secreting large quantities of mucous,
the discharge sometimes closing up
the nostrils descending to the throat
and larynx, causing an irritating
cough, continual clearing of the throat,
deafness. indigestion and many other
disagreeable and persistent symptoms.
A remedy to really cure catarrh
must be an internal treatment; a
remedy which will gradually cleanse
the system from catarrhal poison and
remove the fever and congestion al
ways present in the mucous mem
brane.
The best remedies for this purpose
are Eucalyptol, Sanguinaria and Hy-
drastin. but the difficulty has always
been to get these valuable curatives
Combined in one palatable. convent
ent and efficient form.
Recently this has been accomplish
ed and the preparation put on the
market under the name of Stuart's
Catarrh Tablets; they are large pleas
ant tasting lozenges, so that they may
be slowly dissolved In the mouth, thus
reaching every part of the mucous
membrane and finally the stomach
and intestines.
An advantage to be considered also
is that Stuart's Catarrn Tablets con-
tain no cocaine, morphine or poison
GUS narcotics, SO often found in
catarrh powders, and the use of which
oft'a entails habit more dangerous
than the disease.
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets are sold
by druggists at SO cents for full sized
package and are probably the safest
and most effectual catarrh cure on
the market.
