30 mil Es OF DOUBLE TRACK.
Important Improvement on Santa
lie Out of Kansas City.

Plans have been completed for the
connection between the Missouri Pacific
and Santa Fe and the joint use of tracks
in and east of Kansas City, allowing
Santa Fe trains to run through to the
Union depot and giving the Missouri Pa
cific A connection between its Boonville
and main line. The plans include the
double tracking of the Santa F'e from
Big Blue Junction to Atherton. w. B.
Storey, chief engineer of the Santa Fe,
said that construction work would be
begun upon the double tracking within
a month, just as soon as the winter
weather will permit.
Santa Fe building operations for ear
" spring include a continuation of the
work on the Olathe cutoff, which has
been suspended by the cold snap and the
seven miles of double tracking from Big
Blue Junction to Atherton- There is
about 20 miles to be double tracked on
the cutoff
THE laying of another track to Ath-
erton will be advanced as fast as possi-
ble.It will be completed before the sum-
mer is out. The Missouri Pacific will
run its trains over the Santa Fe track
before the second track is laid. They
have their connection all graded, but no
rails down yet. The track is kept hot
now with the traffic of one road only,
and that is why a second track will be
required The rapidity of construction
work this year will be interfered with
again on account of the way the steel
mills are clogged- 1t is especially hard
to get steel bridges. Work the shops
at Topeka has gone on all winter as fast
as We could get steel"

SEBASTIAN GIVES NOTICE.
Says That the Rock Island Is Well
Pleased With Old Rates.

AS stated in the State Journal some
time ago, the Rock Island will main
tain its low-rate policy to Colorado
points next summer as inaugurated
last summer. This policy will force the
other roads to do the same. A meet
ing of the passenger agents of western
roads is now being held in Chicago for
the purpose of talking over this sit
uation.
John Sebastian, general passenger
agent of the Rock Island, has stated
the position of the Rock Island in ad-
vance of the meeting. He says:

An Ideal
Medicine.
A New Discovery Which Cures aft
Forms of CAtarrh.

The tablet is the ideal form in which to
administer medicine, but until recently no
successful eatarrh tablet had ever been at
tempted There is now, however, an ex-
cellent and palatable remedy for eatarrh
in tablet form, known as Stuarts Catarrh
Tablets and sold by druggists, composed
of the most recent discoveries in medicine
for cure of catarrh and results from their
use have been highly gratifying.
The old time treatment of catarrh was
in the form of inhalerS, washes, douches
sprays etc. Later internal remedies
were used with greater success, but being
in liquid or powder form were inconvenient
to use, and like all medicines in liquid or
powder form. lose their medicinal proper
ties when opened or exposed to the air.
Stuart'S Catarrh Tablets contain highly
concentrated antiseptics, Red Gum. Blood
Root, etc, which kill the catarrh germs in
the blood and mucous membrane, and in
this respect are strictly scientific and mod
ern, because all authorities are now agreed
that catarrh is constitutional blood dis
ease and local applications can have only
a tranSitory effect.
The use of inhalers, douches and sprays
is a nuisance and inconvenience and can in
no wise compare favorably with the same
antisepticS given in tablet form Internal
ly, where they can reach the stomach and
blood and kill catarh germs right where
they are produced.

Famine conditions exist in the market

RANDELL SUIT ON TRIAL.
Case Which Originated in Topeka Is

age suit of Eugene L. Randell against
the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific Rail-

Mettie E. Randell, was returning from
Denver in 1899 on the company'S train.
Her ticket was an excursion ticket, the
returning part of which had expired two
days before. AT Belleville the conduc-
tor refused to take it, and as she had
not money enough to pay her fare to
Kansas City, or refused to pay it, the
conductor called in a negro policeman
at Topeka and had her forcibly elected
from the train. In the scuff1e she says
her spine was injured, and her husband

MANY MINOR CHANGES.
Santa Fe Revising Its Eastern DiYis-

The Office of General Superintendent
Resseguie of the Santa Fe is busy now
with general revision of the time card
which involves considerable work, but
no important changes.
In addition to the changes reported in
Fridays State Journal, which affect the
line to Wellington and the line between
Salina and Abilene, there will be some
changes in the main line. Train 202,
which runs from Carlsbad, N. NJ, to
Kansas City, will be given more time
for the trip. 1t is now scheduled to ar
rive in Kansas City at 6:45, just in time
to connect with No. g. Under the new
time card it will REACH Kansas City at
6:25. thus allowing 20 minutes more for
the connection.
Some minor changes on the branch
lines are necessitated by the changes ON
