Chairman Says New Officers Were
Named Gnly From Necessity.

TO the Editor Of the State Journal:
VIII you please publish a brief state
ment from the undersigned who was
chairman Of the nominating committee at
the recent annual convention OF the State
Temperance union2
The impression seems TO prevail In some
quarters that the charges which were
made at the convention by the Rev. r.
W.. Emerson and Mr. a. G. Rankin re
suited in the nominating committees
bringing IN new names for president and
secretary OF the union. There is not the
slightest ground for such an impression.
The committees report was made up be
fore the charges were made and was not
changed In the least Had J. W Gleed
and Il. E. Stephens consented to re-e1ec-
tan they would have been nominated
unanimously by the committee. Other
names were reported to the conventions
not OF choice but Of necessity. There was
not a single member or the nonfna ting
committee but expressed the fullest confi-

Washington. d. G.. Feb. 6.-The in
terezt In the determination of prairie
dogs in western Kansas and other states
on the great plains emphasizes the i'm
portance Of making an Investigation Of
the most economical method of destroy
ing this pest. Hence the department OF
agriculture has taken the matter in
hand. and through its Investigations has
made some successful experiments For
the destruction of this pest the following
poisoning formula is recommended:
Three ounces OF Strychnine and half a
pound OF cyanide of potassium are dis
solved in a quart OF boiling water two
quarts OF molasses and teaSpoonful OF
oil Of anise are then added, and after
the mixture has been poured over one
bushel OF wheat, four pounds Of finely
ground corn meal are sprinxled over 1T
and well stirred I'm. a tablespoonful Of
the poisoned wheat should be scattered
about the entrance Of each hole Expert
ments with this preparation were tried
last summer on a tract several acres in
extent, and about so per cent Of the
prairie dogs were killed The results
would doubtless have been more salts
factory II the experiments had been
tried in winter or early spring when the
animals first come out from Information

PUT UP OR SHUT Up
Mrs. a. e. MAYORS Advice to the.
Mon of Topeka

To the Editor of the State Journal:
I wish to make a few remarks through
your paper from a hot headed woman "
as + will undoubtedly be termed by the
better examples of true martyrs lhan
are the women of this nation?
Just think of our preachers saying
they are not in favor Of Mrs Nation 8
crusade. I'm not real sure whether
those preachers are called Of God God
pity the man who is SO STEPPED in poll
tics that he can't see good in any cru
sade or reform unless it comes through
his party I think they must be like our
w. c. T. u workers over IN Massa-
chusetts who believe in moving these
hell holes with prayer Sure prayer i
good These j0intiStS would rather see
a crowd coming with prayer than
hatchets. These workers believe In
prayer but forget that faith without
works is dead" So in this case we have
prayed. we have talked, we have sui
fered: now we must help answer our
prayers. Who is he who looks after our
boys? The preacher? No The church
menu No It's these poor broken heart
ed suffering women They have never
had q good opportunity to answer their
prayers. Now while the iron is hot we
must strike Strike 50 hard and fast
that these Internal places will be for
ever driven from the land. Those police
men, how brave. Why I'd resign my
place and forever stay out Of politics
and Office if I had to be as brave as
Mrs. Nation. You'll hear some of our
good brothers say Why don't you put
good men into Officer Yes, that's just
what I say. but when our good old
church brethren, who are, or should be,
ChriSt's examples, pray for the lives and
souls Of our boys, and then turn right
around and with their votes say, II
give my vote for the damnation Of the
boys of this country" it's time to chop.
What's to become Of Topeka. anyhow
Surely the devil and all his cohorts are
loose in this town 1t is certainly going
to ruin and taking its preachers and
good church members along with 1t.
Yes, there are impure women enough,
to say nothing of those of questionable
characters. in Topeka, to dam up the
Kaw river in it's widest place There
are so many that the officers are I'M
loading them over in Lawrence You,
fathers and brothers, don't you think
this is a good city for little children in
the very essence Of purity. with all these
hell holes a. yawning wide Open Is it
any wonder we mothers are hot-headed-
Since you men are failing in your part
I beg Of you to either put up or shut
up and oblige.

Way-Cars Nay BE Built on IN
Improved Plan.
END RIGGING TO GO.
Steps and Platforms Thought
to Be Unnecessary.
Heightening of ssDog- House, Is
Also Contemplated.

The consolidation Of great railroad in
terests and the extension Of different
lines are the cause of much comment just
now. Economy in the management of
what has already been reached is quite
as important as the planning Of what
shall be done The Santa Fe has under
consideration plans by which the con-
structIon and repair Of way cars may
become matter of greater economy.
The way cars used on all the freight
trains IN this part of the country, not
only on the Santa Fe but other roads
a. we'll. are equipped at each end with
steps and platform. 1t is now be-
heved that this part Of the car is not
necessary. and the proposition now I'M
der considerat ton is to do away with
them entirely Instead of the rigging
at either end, steps will probably be
placed on the sides OF the way car 50
that tra1n1nen viii have no difficulty in
getting on and OFF board. Brakes would
be placed at the ends OF the car and the
drawbacks arranged the same as in the
construction of modern express cars.
The real value OF way cars it Is thought
would not be lessened by this change
in construction. On the contrary, there
would be an immense saving Of ex-
penses now necessary for building and
repair on the portions OF the car just
mentioned. Railroad men say that it
seems impossible to build the rigging
at either end so khat it can Withstand
the strain required Of it. This is espe-
cially true in cases where the way cars
are pushed ahead Of the engine. On this
AAAeAAtd1A AANlSAJ4AS u A14E santa ~ anu
particularly in Colorado the experiment
has been tried for several years and
seems to have been successful. About
twenty-five cabooses in that region
where pusher engines are necessary are
'bob-tails.' that il have no end rigging.
This change will probably be made only
as new way cars are constructed or as
old ones are repaired.
Another innova ton in caboose build
ing may be introduced. Lately, certain
classes Of cars, especially those for fur
niture, have been built SO much higher
than others that it has caused trainmen
much trouble in seeing one end of the
train from the other and consequently
in giving signals. To remedy this it has
been proposed to build the cupola or
'dog-house" Of the way car about two
feet higher.
These charges have not been decided
upon definitely, but they are under con-
siderati0n

remarkable cures made by the Pyramid
Pile Cure in the past few years have
proven that surical operations are no
longer necessary, and that it is, by far
the safest and most reliable remedy yet
discovered for this common and often
dangerous trouble.
The harmless acids and healing oils
contained in the Pyramid Pile Cure
cause the blood vessels to contract to q
natural condition and the little tumors
are absorbed and the cure is made WITH
