4-wHEELED cABoosEs.
Peculiar Cars to Be Used by Mexican
Central.

There are "a new cabooses standing in
the Santa Fe yards, says the Ell PaSo
Herald, ready to be transferred to the
Mexican Central to which road they are
consigned.
They are peculiar little affairs, being
only about half the length and weight
of the cabooses used on other roads com
ing into this city. They have only four
wheels each, making them look much
like the Ell Paso street cars and they are
not much larger than they. They have
no end doors. and only doors of the width
of those in the ends of other cabooses in
each side.
They seem to be very lightly and cheap
~ put up, but trainman, who was asked
some questions about them, said they
We're made exceptionally strong in the
frame and there was questioning their
durability He said the Pennsylvania road
and Great Northern used cabOOSeS of this
build because they were stronger than
the ordinary caboose and could better
withstand the pressure of a pushing en-
CINE. which often used on the steep
grades of those roads.
A caboose with only four wheels is an
odd looking thing anyway.

THE OLD WAY
OF Treating Stomach Trouble ann
Indigestion. a Barbarous and
Useless One

We say the OLD way but really it is
the common and usual one at the Dres-
ent time and many dyspeptics, and ply
SlclanS as well, consider the first step.
in attempting to cure indigestion is to
diet either by selecting certain food and
rejecting others or to greatly diminish
the quantity of food usually taken
In other words the starvation plan is
by many, supposed to be the first es-
sent1al in the cure of weak digestion
The almost certain failure of the
starvation cure for stomach trouble has
been proven time and again but still the
usual advice, when dyspepsia makes its
appearance, is a course of dieting
All this Is radically wrong 1t is fool
ish and unscientific to recommend diet
ing or starvation to a person suffering
from dyspepsia because indigestion itself

Thousands of Chronic Catarrh Patients
Under Free Treatment.

Wherever Dr. Hartman is known the
name of Peruna has become household
word. 1t is safe to say that no medicine
IN existence is used by so many fami-
lies as Peruna. This is especially true
of this time of the year when the peo-
pie are liable to. catarrhal affections
coughs, colds, la grippe, etc.
Peruna has cured more cases Of
chronic catarrh than all other medi-
cines combined. The great majority of
those who use it buy the remedy them
selves, use it according to directions,
not even reporting their case to Dr.
Hartman until after they are entirely
cured.
But now that a limited number of
cases can secure the personal attention
of Dr. Hartman free of charge it is not
to be wondered at that many prefer to
do so. Peruna never fails to cure ca
tarrh when properly used.

SANTA FE TRACKS FLOODED.
Big Overflow of the Rio Grande De
laws FL Paso Trains.

The cause of the delay of the Santa Fe
passenger trains which are running "a
hours late at Ell Paso and other south
western points was the overflow of the
Rio Grande near La Joya-
La Joya is a small station about one
hundred and fifty miles this side of Al
buquerque and along near that place the
river and the railroad run parallel for
about four miles The heavy rain and
snow in northern New Mexico had put
the Rio Grande on tear and for about a
quarter of mile along this parallel place
the water arose foot above the rails.
The trainmen were afraid to run the
train through this water and it was held
on the other side until the water ran
down. When it ran down the track
was found to be still in a passable con-
dition and the train came on.
