NO FAITH IN IT.
George SeeIOYer Who Lives Near
Yinewood Railway Talks.


George seelover. one of the well
known and substantial farmers Of Shaw
nee county, lives a little ways south
west OF Yinewood park, and about
stones throw from the Vinewood park
railway. He is one Of the Vinewood
park residents who is able to see through
the thin disguise Of the Vinewood park
railway, and his opinion of the proposed
scheme is as follows.
The people living between Topeka
and Vinewood would be unanimous in
favor Of the WiHewOod park railway if
they believed that it would really give
them the service 1t proposes to give.
But 1 am confident that we will get
nothing better from the present concern
than we have had from the others. The
company which now has the road is
simply going to sell out to somebody.
The road is of no use TO people living
near NineWood park because the cars
VIII not stop for us. Five people came
out from Topeka once to visit at my
farm. There were three women and two
men. We went to the tracks of the
VineWOOd line and waited till a car
came along to take them back to town.
The car did not stop, but went past US
and the five people had no way to get
home We have all had similar exper-
to stop the cars except at intervals of
about a mile. What good does that Do
people living near Vinewood.
This company has never in all its
history done as 1t agreed to do, and I
believe that it never viii. It will not
benefit the laboring people any, because
as the Journal stated it viii spend all
its money in the purchase of rolling
stock and equipment, if 1t spend the
money at all"

TO CALL HAVEMEYERS.
Sugar Trust People viii Be
Asked to Testify.

Washington.April 29-President Have
meyer and other officials of the Ameri-
can Sugar company win be asked to
appear and give testimony before the
subcommittee of the senate committee
quire into the question of Cuban sugar
holdings and they will be the first wit
neSses called
The subcommittee held it's first
meeting today with all the members of
the committee-Senators Platt of Con-
necticut, Burnham and Teller-present
The discussion was a very general one
but no definite result beyond that of
deciding to call the trust officials was
reached. The suggestion that they
should be summoned was suggested by
Senator Platt, who said that for va
rious reasons the inquiry should begin
with them
ing, but it was agreed that it should
take place as soon as the witnesses could
be secured.
No names of other witnesses were
mentioned, but Senator Teller said that
he would from time to time make sug-
gestions in that respect He said he had
no very extended list and the opinion
was generally expressed that the inves-
tigation would not be long drawn out
unless witnesses should be summoned
from Cuba.
The committee reached no conclusion as
to whether any Cubans should be asked to
attend, but Mr.. Teller indicated his pur-
pose to press for their appearance.
After the adjournment of the conference
Senator Platt chairman of the committee
expressed the opinion that the consIdera-
ton of the reciprocity bill would be de
layed on account of the proposed inquiry.

FAIR EXCHANGE
A New Back for an Old One. How It
 Can Be Done in PhOsrix.

The back aches at times with a dull, indescribable feeling making you weary and restless; piercing pains shoot across the region of the kidneys, and again the loins are so lame to stoop is agony. No use to rub or apply plaster to the back in this condition. You cannot reach the cause. Exchange the bad back for a new and stronger one. Follow the example of this Tucson citizen:
 N. z. Ballenger, freight conductor on the Southern Pacific R. R., residence 54 Council St, Tucson. Ariz.. says: If pain across the small of the back. late ly almost continual and very disagree able, which changed to sharp twinges if I stopped or strengthened after stoop- ing, which resisted all my knowledge of medicine obtained from reading or about which my friends advised, is any indication of kidney complaint, then I
 had attacks of it for many years. In the winter of 1902, when suffering from a rather aggravated attack about which l was continually complaining, box of Doan's Kidney Pills was procured for me at a drug store. I do not think I had great deal of faith in the prepara
 tion, but much to my surprise and Gratificatio they went directly to the cause of the trouble and stopped the last attack. I told Mrs. Ballenger after l had taken a dose or two that I knew they were a specific for kidney com- plaint. Doan's Kidney Pills is un- dcubtedly the best remedy I ever tried . Just such emphatic endorsement can be had right here Tn Phoenix. Drop into The Brisley Drug Co.'S drug store and ask what their customers re- port.

students. No private home would have
 been large enough to conveniently ac-
 commodate the crowd which attended,
 so the assembly hall in the university
 building was cleared and divested of
 all signs of its common daily useful
 ness and fittingly decorated and
 adorned to serve as a reception room.
 It was not alone the pretty decorations
 and the perfume laden air that made
 us for a while forget the trials and
 tribulations of a students life, "the
 whips and arrows of outrageous for
 Cune," the scent of funny laboratory,
 the hum of class room, the quiet earn
 estness of library, the shout and clamor
 and strife and heat of campus gridirOn.
 but methinks the hospitality of our
 genial hosts and that indefinite some
 thing which always invades the atmo
 sphere when youth and beauty and
 learning meet together in happy negl-
 gence of formal conventions. Whether
 your face is yet fair or the crows feet
 have long since done their work;
 whether of downy countenance or your
 hair shows the telltale gray of time;
 if you have lived within the influence
 of that spirit of which l speak, it needs
 no explanation to prove it's presence
 Whatever else it may be it is the greatest thing in the world''-this self
 same college spirit The reception was
 held from s until o'clock, when the company retired to the mess hall
 which had been cleared for dancing and, well, we danced that's all.
 We now have two literary societies
 which are at the time engaged in a most friendly combat for literary supremacy. The Philomathean has been reorganized and reVitalized into d fieet-footed. thoroughbred, and prom ises to show her heels to the other aspirants on the broad track of prog ress. But babes grow to men in time after many a face anG gigSle and one carrot gainsay that the infantile so- ciety formed this yer might fall heir
 to the same lot, for from it's charter roll one can easily see it has plenty of fCo1 on which to grow. Good work is expected of the literary branch this year, aiming at q double purpose-firsJ, the training each member derives, and to snatch the banner of supremacy from our friends the Normalites at the joint debate this year. If these Socie- ties serve these purposes fairly they will have become worthy of their keep. Militarism is much in evidence on the campus in the early morning hours. The new students are being put through the regular course of sprouts deemed necessary to convert the coun- | try Gawk or city dude into sCldiery
 manly and useful citizen of our broad domain. The battalion officers are Captain Patton, commandant; Captain Stafford, company A; Captain Day. company B; Lieutenants Moore and
 Moore, company A; Lieutenants Whip pie and Marshall, company B; Captain

MISSOURI IN THE WAR TIME.

Says the Indianapolis Journal. Ohio leads the states in the number of pen sioners. 1O6 O6O, but Pennsylvania is a close second, with 1O3.397. New York follows with SS. 269. Illinois with 72,026, while Indiana is fifth in the list with G6. 5S6. One might not think it. but Mis- souri comes next with 52,S13 names on the roll" The fact that Missouri has that many names on the pension roll seems to surprise the Journal. Per haUs it thinks that Missouri was one of the confederate states, and there fore has no right to have any pension CTS.
 If the Journal takes a glance at the figures, it will find that Missouri fur nished 11O.OCO troops to the national armies during the war of 1S61-1S65. This was q big contribution for a slave state. None of the other slave states furnished anything like this number. The number is not only larger, abso- states furnished. but it is larger in pro portion than any of them contributed, except Delaware, which furnished H., GOO. There was a good deal of seces- sion sentiment in Missouri. as there was in Indiana, Illinois and other states close to the border line of the coniederacy. In fact Missouri gave something like 9OOOO soldiers to Jeffer- son Davis armies. But Missouri did grand service for the union cause, and Lincoln, Grant, and the rest of the na- tionalist leaders at the time knew this, and said it.
 Does the Journal know what were f wart fight for the national govern
