Santa Fe Wants a Beet Sugar
Mill at Topeka.
Claimed That One Can Be
Brought Here.
QUESTION OF BETS.
If Beets Win Grow Here the
Mill VIII Come.
in Beet Culture
Under Santa Fe Auspices.

''The men who are backing the sugar
beet industry in Colorado stand ready
with unlimited capital to build sugar
mills in Kansas as fast as Kansas can
prove that it can raise sugar beets"
This statement was made today by
Chas. L. Seagrayes, the energetic pas
senger and immigration agent of the
Santa F'e whose headquarters are in this
city.
Mr.. Seagraves is now superintending
experiments il sugar beet raising in
great many different localities in the
state. He believes that Kansas has a
great source of wealth in the culture Of
sugar lbeets- It is to the interests of the
Santa F'e to encourage this industry in
Kansas as it encouraged it in Colorado.
The Santa Fe is getting ready to carry
on its sugar beet advertising campaign
in the interests of Kansas as energetl-
cally and successfully as it did the cam
paign for the same object in PrOwers
county, Col
Down near Wichita" continued Mr..
Seagraves, ''one of the sugar beet ex-
perts from Colorado is located for the
summer attending to the culture of 30
beet fields, planted in various parts of
the county. When the beets are matur-
ed, they will obe taken in separate lots
to the mills in Colorado, and manufac-
tured into sugar There viii be an ac-
curate record kept OF the bushels raised
to the acre, and the percentage of SUI
gar in beets from various localities
I'VE hear the most favorable reports
from the beet fields which are now I'M
der culture. They are looking very well
and if they continue to flourish, it will
make it practically certain that a big
sugar mill viii be built at Wichita Lor
taking care of the sugar beets raised in
the Arkansas valley of Kansas.
If Topeka people want this company
to build a sugar mill here all it has to
do is to prove that it can raise sugar
beets in this locality. The Commercial
club should appropriate money to hire
an expert sugar beet raiser to come
patches at fifty or a hundred different
points in the vicinity. If this expert
finds that beets can be raised here, and
that the percentage of sugar is suffi-
cient, the mill will certainly be built.
It will not cost a cent except to prove
that the city is in a good beet country.
The company will not accept any
bonuses. 1t does not ask any favOrs-
1t buys its site, builds its mill, and goes
to work making all the beets it can get
into sugar. Topeka ought to have a,
sugar mill and it should take the nee
essary preliminary steps to prove that
a mill would be able to get the right
kind of material to work with.
If sugar beets can be raised in kan
sas, there will be more profit in them
Kansas farmers win not be at the ex-
pense of irrigating. It looks to me like
a question of only a short time till Kan
sas will be able to concentrate its farm
ing wealth, and do cOnsiderabl inten-
sive farming, by means of the spread Of
sugar beet culture, and the erection OF
mills to handle the sugar beets."

STRIKE Is BROKEN.
Santa Fe Official Here Says the Road
Has Won Its Fight.

3&aa2 w Oh 4bS Tx
A prominent official of the Santa Fe
said today: 1.-The strike out west is
over. That is the information which we
receive. OF course the strikers do not
admit it. but the fact is that we are
operating our shops almost as usual.
We have quit sending out men. You
will remember that the telegFaphers'
strike nOminally lasted for three weeks,
but we had our wires nearly all in op
Grafton inside of four days. That is the
way it is on the coast lines. do not
think there is any likelihood that the
strike viii extend to the eastern part
of the line"
The San Bernardino Transcript says:
There has been no change in the strike
situation in San BernardinO. The strik
ers have passed up the question to the
grand officers. Saturday a full history
of the trouble was sent by mail to Pres
for several days. When the grand
council has decided what shall be done
the local boilermakers expect tele-
gram from the east. They are confident
that the grand officers will sustain the
position which the strikers have taken.
In the local shops the full force of
machinists are at work and also the
men whom the officials claim are boil
ermakers. AS near as the strikers can
ascertain, of the thirteen men two are
boilern akers, at least they know how
to use a hammer, but helpers can do
that The others are not bOilermakers
who have served their apprenticeship.
OF this the strikers are confident.
The strikers have been advised by
the strikers of Needles that six men
were imported at that point. Three of
the men went to work but as soon as
they learned the situation they refused
to work and walked out.

NO HARVEY HOUSE THERE.
General Superintendent Resseguie
Denies Emporia Story.

There have been no plans made for
al Emporia, - said General Superintend-
ent Resseguie today. 4 have never
heard anything about this Harvey house
story"
Mr.. Resseguie made this statement
when shown clipping from the Emporia
Gazette which is as follows:
The way the second story of the
Santa Fe depot has been cleared out
has aroused all manner of suspicion as
to the reason for the apparently useless
change. The railroad officials of course.
have a reason for the change, but in
this particular, as in every other, mum
is the word with the officials as to the
reason for the change until the reason
IS shown by another change. The train
master talk is so old that it has whis-
kers, and all the time Emporia is talk
ing about it the Whiskers are growing
longer. The latest reason with a better
foundation than the trainmaster or su-
perintendent song ever had is that
Fred Harvey eating house viii soon Oc-
cupy the upstairs part Of the depot. This
is popular railroad talk, and the agent
thinks such a thing probable. The
switchmen hear all the good railroad
talked about at Topeka as well as here.
What gives a weighty probability to
this story is the fact that four pas
senger trains stop at Emporia at the
dinner and two supper hours. Daily
trains Nos. 113, ia 2 and reach En-
poria during the noon hour. At supper
time trains 116 and arrive. The pas
sengers of these would keep an eating
house more than busy"

ANCIENT
TORTURE
How It has Been Revived
IN Modern Times.

An ancient method Of poisoning
criminals was to force them to sWal-
low large quantities Of BULLS blood.
Bulls blood is really no poison at all.
Yet the prisoner usually died In agony.
This was caused By the coaEulation or
hardening of the bulls blood in the
stomach The pressure Of this solid
mass on the heart, lungs and other vital
organs almost always resulted fatally.
That's just like Indigestion. If
yeur food doesn't digest it remains In
hard lump n the stomach. Gases are
formed, which crowd and sometimes
actually displace other organs. Many
cases eff supposed heart disease are due
TO indigestion. The pressure upon the
lungs inteTferes with breathing. A dis
ordered stomach effects the whole body.
BY the use OF such q preparation as
Kodol Dyspepsia Cure all this trouble
IS removed. Before food can be assimi-
lated into the system it must be re-
duced to proper condition by the d.
gestive fluids. If any OF these fluids
are lacking, perfect digestion is i'm
possible. KOd0l Dyspepsia Cure sup
plies the missing fluids Stomach
troubles can't be cured by dieting.
The system demands both a su1icieRcy
and 4 variety Of food. Y GU can't get
well OF stay well without it, Kodol
Dyspepsia Cure enables the stomach
to take care Of any kind Of good food.
1t renders dieting unnecessary. 1t
digests what you eat. In this way
it rests the stomach This rest soon
restores thestOmach to perfect health.
Kodul Dyspepsia Cure helps the
childrea too. Weak and ackly little
ones thrive on it. It never fails.
During the last few years my stom-
ach was in such condition that
couldn't retain the food I ate, writes
Henry Williams of BOOnville, Mo.
1.-TWO months age I commenced taking
KOdOl Dyspepsia Cure. A few bottles
