UNION PACIFIC PLOW

This is good snow plow weather. The
Santa F'e and Rock Island roads are TAX
ing invoice of their stock of snow plows,
getting the rotaries in shape for business
and distributing the pilot plows to points
where they are likely to be needed.
The Santa Fe road has two Leslie ro-
tary plows, one JUL rotary plow and a
large number of pilot plows- Several Of
these plOwS have recently been in the
Santa Fe shops here undergoing repairs.
Speaking of the trouble which the Santa
F'e has with SHOWS, General Superintend-
ent Resseguie said today:
1.-THE Santa Fe is not very much
troubled with snow. In Kansas the worst
places are the Mcpherson branch and the
Wichita & Western branch. We have
considerable trouble out in Colorado be-
tween Denver and Pueblo.
We ind that the pilot plows be
used in deep snow, provided the snow is
light and not packed 1 have seen a
pilot plow. cut through snow ten feet
deep. but it must, be borne in mind that
it was not packed snow. If the snow is
in snow more than two three feet
The rotary plows are capable of cut
ting through the deepest and worst snow
packs. A rotary plow can go through q
ten-foot bank of snow and sand, packed
solid, at the rate of about two miles
hour.
I'VE keep one or more snow plowS at
each division headquarters, and send
them out from these points as needed
During the past year the Santa Fe has
added new snow fighting devices

manual in use now is based on the law
of 1898. which gave the state board of
education the authority to grant state
certificates to the graduates of APPROX
ed schools and colleges upon an exami-
nation in five professional studies. In
1899 another law was passed giving the
board authority to grant state certif-
icates without examination to the grad

ROCK ISLAND PLEASED.
Advantageous Traffic Arrangement;
Secured For El Paso Extension.

Chica go, Dec 1S-All doubt regarding
the attitude of the Southern Pacific
toward the Rock Island on account of the
latters Ell Paso extension was removed
when traffic relations of the friendliest
character were entered into by the traffic
representing both companies
To the Rock Island officials at least the
solution of the problem is highly graft
flying and to it may largely be ascribed
the emphatic declaration made by Chair
man Gable, who said:
I'VE have no intention of building from
FL Paso to the Pacific coast and unless
conditions greatly change / see no reason
for our changing our position in the mat
ter
This arrangement is of reciprocal
character. The Rock Island will deliver
ali it's southern California traffic to the
Southern Pacific at Ell PaSo and the
Southern Pacific agrees to treat the Rock
Island exactly the same as it treats It's
other connections This can mean moth
ing else than fair division of traffic in

Catarrh is the Scourge of the Nine

Have you catarrh? Maybe you have
not; but do you know that a person
may have catarrh of the head, catarr h
of the throat, catarrh of the lungs. ca
tarrh of the stomach. catarrh of the
bowels, catarrh of the kidneys, catarrh
of the bladder, and also the other pelvic
organs? Are any of these organs af-
fected in your case?
If SO, the probability is that you have
chronic catarrh. So many people think
that catarrh is confined to the head.
This is not true. Catarrh may affect
any organ of the body. Thousands Of
people who have been sick long time
have catarrh, but do not know it. They
have doctored for every imaginable dis
ease but catarrh, and find no cure.

Government Expected to Settle For
Horses Stolen by Convicts.

Leavenworth, Kan, Dec. 18.-Two
Leavenworth county farmers, Bone
Ruble and S. a. Davidson, have petit
toned congress to pay them for losses
sustained by the stealing of their horses
by the convict .llutineers of the Federal
penitentiary. Each of them lost a
valuable horse by the escaping despera-
does taking forcible possession of their
animals. Neither of the horses were re-
covered, although both men made trips
to different points hoping to get them.
Mr.. Ruble went to Medicine Lodge,
Kan, where it was reported that his
horse had been taken from the con-
victs. They went to considerable ex-
pense in making these trips and each
of them is asking the government to
pay 5000.
Congressman Curtis has been asked
to introduce a bill to pay for the loss
sustained.

Col, Roosevelt as a Hero.

Col. Theodore Roosevelt, Vice. Presi-
dent-elect of tho United States, whose
career has been of an adventurous and
stirring character, is pleasing subject

this story is running in serial form:
"Teddy Roosevelt's Protege, or, the
Prince of Cowboys in the Bad Lands.
In the story the author, Will Lisenbee'
t.eats the famous hero of San Juan Hill
in sensational and attractive way. At
all times "Teddy.' as he is Familiarity
called, proves equal to the most danger,
ous and trying situations His adven-
lures in Cuba at the head of the Rough
Riders are graphically told, and he
carries out all that is youthful, or more
mature for that matter, mind can paint
him.

Dayy Burgess, one Of the Oldest and

and love for all the formalities Of busi-
ness life, once bought COW from Cap
tain Jordan Of Mount Pleasant. He
hadn't the money In hand to pay the
price, but Captain Jordan knew that he
would pay. He told him to take the
cow. That was an entirely too informal
way of doing business for Burgess. he
knew that notes and other papers OF
that sort passed between white men,
and he insisted on a note in this trans
action. Captain Jordan told him to draw
up one to suit himself. When he pre-
sented 1t, 1t read:
I, Davy Burgess, do hereby promise to pay
Captain Jordan $35 for the spotted COW when
has the money to spare. DAVY boRoEss.
"Now," he said, "Ill jes keep dis en-

He put the note in his pocket and
drove the COW away. When he was ready
to pay the $35, he went to Captain Jor-
dan with it.
