HITS IT HARD.
City Railway Suffers From Pay
ing Advancement.
Cost This Year Will Be About
$40, 200.
WHAT IS ASKED FOR
President Baker Says Street
Car Shops May Not Be Built.
Expenditure For Paving He
Says Is Serious Handicap.

If all the pavement is laid which the
city council has been petitioned to lay
it will cost the Topeka City railway the
sum of S32, 400 in a lump sum to pay its
share. The street railway is therefore
not very enthusiastic in its advocacy OF
more pavement.
IF the company is forced by the city
to do this paving during the present
year, it is likely that the plan for the
erection Of an $1,000 car barn and the
Improvement of the repair shops of the
company will have to be abandoned.
President c. c. Baker said today:tsThe
street railway is not going to assume
the attitude of trying to block the prog
ress OF the city in this matter. We will
make no protest to the council. We will
only hope that the good business sense
of the council will restrain it from al
lowing all this pavement which has
been petitioned for. All the company
asks is that it be required to do only a
reasona BILE amount of paving each year.
Last year the company paid cut $4,000
for pavement; the year before $l4 Goo.
The Street Car company is at a d1sad-
vantage over property holders in the
matter of paving. Property holders can
nav their paving tax in ten yearly in
stallments. The Street Car company is
obliged to have the paving done, and
pay for the work when it IS completed.
The Street Car company has to pay
for strip of pavement eight feet wide
wherever its tracks exist. It also is
obliged to relay its track, with exDen-
sive sawed ties, fitted with chairs" for
the rails and ties between tho rails. Tho
grade of all the tracks has to be lower
ed, and this must be done with pick
and shovel, so that the running of cars
will not be interfered with.
The following are the blocks already
petitioned for on which the company
has tracks: College avenue. two blocks.
Buchanan one block; Twelfth, one
block; Second, double track two blocks
equivalent to three blocks single: West
Eighth, six blocks; Kansas avenue, five
blocks. The total is eighteen blocks
The cost to the company for relaying
the track and paving is 81 800 block
making a total of $32 400.

New Fast Train ON the Missouri
Pacific In Service Monday.
VIII Run Between st. Louis and
Pueblo.
THE COLORADOLIMITED
Through Sleeper From st. Louis
TO the Pacific.
ssKaty'' is Not Backing Omaha
Emporia Line
THE COLORADO LIMITED

Beginning next Monday, the new fast
train on the Missouri Pacific between
St. Louis and Pueblo will be placed in
service, and the time between those
two cities by way Of that road will be
reduced to &c hours and 35 minutes.
The train going west viii leave Kan
sas City at p. m. and arrive in Pueblo
at 11.40 a m. the next day; returning
the train viii leave Pueblo at ! D. m.
and viii reach Kansas City at a. m.
The west-bound train will be known
as the Colorado Limited No. l. and the
east-bound as St Louis Limited No. 2.
A through sleeper will be run from St.
Louis and San Francisco, being taken
in charge by the Denver & Rio Grande
at Pueblo and running on west over the
Rio Grande Western and Southern Pa
cific. 1t was announced several weeks
ago that Gould had secured the D. &
r. c., and only a day or two ago that
the latter system had absorbed the Rio
Grande Western along with a part in
terest in the Colorado Midland, but this
is the first practical indication of it,
The new train will be a great boon to
the travelling public along the Missouri
Pacific road, as the necessity for new
train has been apparent for a mum Der
of years 1t has been found necessary
at frequent times to run the regular
passenger train in two sections on ac-
count of the heavy travel, which has
been increasing steadily. At St Louis
the new train Will make connections
with all the eastern lines having ter
minalS there
The reports sent out a few weeks ago
indicated that the train would surpass
in elegance and cost anything hereto
fore put upon a western railroad For
the present, however, the equipment
will not be as originally planned, owing
to the shortage Of high class rolling
stock and the inability to secure the
desired kind at once but it is expected
that July 1 will see the Colorado Lin
tied and ST. Louis Limited of the Mis-
souri, Pacific one Of the finest in the
west
Not only will the train bring addf-
tional passenger business to the road,
but will be the forerunner Of an in
crease in the number of freight trains
now operated. With the through sleeper
1t will also mean a share in the trans
continental travel

DENIES Katy RuMoRs.
President Says Road Is Not Back of
Omaha-Emporia Line.

New York, May 1S.-President H. c.
Rouse of the Missouri Kansas and Tex
as railway contradicts the widely cir
culated report that his company is back
of the projected Omaha Emporia line.
This new road is to be made up by ex-
tending the present Kansas and South
ern railroad from both ends. The last
named road runs between Westmore-
land and Blaine, in Kansas. a distance
of about eight and one-half miles. Chas.
S. Wheeler is president and general
manager. r. M. Snyder, president of
the City National bank Of Kansas City,
is one of the directors.
There is authority for the statement
that the narrow gauge line Of the Den
yer and Rio Grande from Salida to San.
ia F'e is to be widened and extended
from Santa F'e to FL Paso.
This Will give the Missouri Pacific
system a standard gauge from Denver
and the east to the Tex Mexican bor-
der. Such a change would involve the
widening Of 239 miles Of mountain road
and the construction Of about 800 miles
of new line paralleling the Atchison, To-
peka and Santa F'e lines
At Ell Paso the Missouri Pacific would
secure a connection with its own Texas
and Pacific line, also with the Southern
Pacific and with the Mexican Central.

Peruna does not operate upon the sys-
tenn, as the usual remedy does. It is not
a local treatment. It operates as sys-
temic remedy. 1t gives tone to the
weakened nerve centers, and thus gives
tone to the mucous membranes that line
the various organs of the body.
Catarrh IS always located in some nu-
cods membrane. Catarrh is a f1abby
condition of the blood vessels of these
membranes. Peruna gives tone to these
vessels and restores them to their 1iatu-
