STOREY AT Ell PAso.
Had a Conference With Southern Pa
cific Engineers.

The FL Paso Times says: W. B.
Storey, chief engineer of the Santa Fe
system, with headquarters in Topeka,
Kan, was in the city yesterday. He ar
rived on a freight the evening before
from a tour of inspection along the line
between Ell PasO and Albuquerque. He
has spent the last week or ten days
going over the line examining the con-
dition Of the track at points where it
has been raised. Mr.. Storey said.
In regard to the proposed building o.
the road from Roswell to Albuquerque,
L cannot answer with any defniteness.
Should it be deemed at any time ex-
pedient to build the road, why it will
be done. You may say, however. in re-
gard TO the surveying going on that the
object of having a survey is simply for
the purpose of acquainting ourselves
thoroughly with the topography of the
section through which the road would
run and to ascertain the probable cost
wholly preliminary, and I know absO-
lutely nothing about when the road is
to be built. It may be built soon and it
also may never be built.
I have not heard of a connection be-
ing made between PecOs and San An
gelo. That would be out of my jurisdic-
ton anyway, as it is on the gulf part of
the system. 1t is possible such a con-
nection has been discussed, but I would
not know of it if it had"

Mileage of the United States
Now Exceeds 2OO,O 700.
First Half of Year Was a Re-
cord Breaker.
THE SOUTHWESTLEADS
Is Laying More Than Its Share
of Track.
Long Distances of New Line Are
Being Graded.

The railway mileage of the United
States has passed the 200, 000-mile mark.
The figures at the close Of 1901 were APP
proximately 1876. 525 miles. and the con-
struction for the first six months Of
1902 brings the total up to POI. 839 miles.
the track laid during the first half Of
this year on 1855 lines aggregating 2,3l4
miles. This is nearly 500 miles in ex-
cess of the new mileage for the first six
months of 1901, when l,Sl7 miles were
built. The total for the y months last
year was 5.222 miles, and if the same
ratio is maintained this year it viii
readily be seen that the construction
for the year 1902 will easily exceed 5000
miles Tracklaying thus far this year
has been distributed throughout Al
states and territories the following
states reporting no new mileage, al
through lines are under construction in
all of these with the exception of two
or three New England states: New

EASILY PROVEN.
There Is Not the Slightest Necessity
For Leaving Topeka to Look
For Proof.

The experience given below by this
well known citizen of Topeka is easily
proven The proof he offers for his
convictions can safely be left with the
reader. It is a difficult matter to des-
cribe an aching back or any of the ills
caused by disordered kidneys How to
cure the trouble is of much more inn
portance, and the most exacting resi-
dent of Topeka cannot ask for any bet
ter authority on this point than that
given by Mrs. A w Wells of 613 Chan
dler street. who says. For three or
four years I was troubled with kidney
trouble. The heavy bearing down,
aching through my loins and across the
small of my back was frequently so
bad that I could only stand for a short
time When I caught cold suffered
severely and the pain extended up into
my head and almost set me wild. L
doctored and took great many rem
edies but obtained nothing but transit
tory relief I got box of DOan's Kid
store and the benefit received from the
treatment rendered my back and kid
neys better than they had been for
long time. I take pleasure in recon-
mending a remedy from which I de-
rived such satisfactory results

THINGS WE

Why is it They So Seldom
Agree With Us2

What's the reason the things we like
best so seldom seem to agree with usP
May be it's because we OVereat OF them.
Then follows a fit Of Indigestion.
Only lasts a day or two perhaps. But
it's a most uncomfortable day OF two.
II re disregard consequences and in
dulge our appetites the certainty that
We must suffer spells the pleasure.
We don't mean to abuse our stOm-
achs but We all do IL more or less. We
see things we want and can't re-
sist the longing for them. When it's
too late we regret our rashness. But
there's a way to escape the cOnse-
ouences Of such indiscrstiOns. A dose
Of q good digestant like KOdOl Dyspep-
STA Cure Will relieve your trouble at
once That is the sensible remedy.
Indigestion is always due to the
same cause. Your stomach is too weak
to digest what you eat. It needs rest.
You can't rest it by going without
food. That would mean starvation.
But Kodol Dyspepsia Cure viii rest it.
1t does the stomach 8 work. In the
mean time the tired organ is gaining
fresh strength Before long it will
be as strong as ever. A temporary at
tack can be cured at once A case Of
long standing naturally takes more
time But the first dose brings relief.
And a complete cure in the near future
is certain. You don't have to diet.
Kodol Dyspepsia Cure viii digest any
kind Of wholesome food. For sickly
children it. is unequalled They thrive
