Important Conference Of Santa
Fe Officials Being Held
In the New AIyaradO Hotel at
Albuquerque.
DISCUSS UNIFORMITY.
Make Plans For New Trains and
New Schedules.
Formal Opening of AlvaradO
Hotel Will Also Occur.

General Manager H. U. Nudge and
General Passenger Agent W. J. Black
have gone to Albuquerque to attend an
important meeting of the head officials
to be held this week at the new Alva-
RADIO hotel which is to be formally
opened on May TO-
President Ripley has already arrived
at Albuquerque. and is occupying u
suite at the AlvaradO. Among others
who win attend the meeting are Cen
eral superintendent Hurley, General
Manager Wells of the coast lines. Cen
eral Manager Nixon Of the Gulf lines,
and General superintendent Shepherd
Of the coast lines. General Superin-
tendent Resseguie will not be able to
attend the meeting.
The meeting of these heads of the op-
Grating department is said to be for
two general objects. the most impor-
tant of which is to arrive at mutual
understandings concerning the general
operating policy or the road. 1t is the
object of the Santa Fe officials to unity
the coast lines, Gulf lines and main
lines into a more easily managed
whole.
The secondary object of the conference
is to formally open the Alvarado hotel,
which is one of the most magnificent
structures on the Santa Fe system. The
hotel proper is now ready for occu-
pancy, but it will be some time before
the entire structure as planned is com
pleted. When it is finished it will in
clude among other modern improve
ments theater capable of seating
several thousand people
Some days ago the State Journal an
nounced that the Santa Fe would at its
time card meeting this year adopt a
uniform style of time card for all parts
of the system. This matter will be dis
cussed at the Albuquerque conference.
The proposed examination questions for
trainmen, as provided for under the
new code, will be passed upon, and
brought into the desired form.
1t is believed, however, that matters
of more Importance than these are to
come before the meeting The estab-
nshment of new trains affecting the
transcOntinental service, the arrange
ment Of new schedules and plans for
meeting the fierce competition which is
arising from the big combined systems
and the fast-grOwing Rock Island are
all among the subjects to be discussed
Throughout the great effort will be to
cement together the Santa Fe into 4
more perfect union. That this is the
general tendency of the present man
passage of bill by congress authoriz-
ing the Santa Fe Pacific to sell its road
to the Santa Fe proper.
The meeting was called for Albu-
Querque because it is located midway
of the system. and because President
way home from California. The open
ing of the Alvarado hotel adds to the
interest of the occasion.
The date for the time card meeting
will be fixed by the officials at Albu-
querque. 1t has not yet been decided
upon. It is probable that the meeting
viii be held in Topeka next week, or
within a fortnight from that time

One woald ever suspect from his ap-
pearance that Mr.. Ross. is nearly II
years of age. He is wonderfully active
and rarely misses day from his Office
Mr.. Ross is Mason and member of
the First Presbyterian church. He was
a sufferer from dyspepsia until he heard
of Kodol Dyspepsia Cure. The follow
ing is his opinion of the remedy which
has done so much for him:
For several years, I, Thomas L
Ross also my wife, Lydia L. Ross, both
of Topeka, Kan. suffered with that ter
rible malady known as dyspepsia or
Indigestion.
I'VE commenced to use Kodol Dys-
pepsia Cure on the recommendation of
our druggist. After taking one dose.
and inside of a short time, all of those
terrible pains and dyspepsia torrents
had passed away. My appetite, also my
wife's, came back and our food could
be enjoyed as when we were II. I am
now turning n years of age.
Il have not suffered one day with my
stomach since I commenced to use Ko-
dol Dyspepsia Cure, and I recommend
it to all of my fellow citizens to do you
good, and endorse Kodol Dyspepsia
Cure"

ANOTHER STRONG ALLY.
Rock Island Said to Be Closing Up on
Mexican Central

The FL Paso Times says: There have
been several well founded rumors that
the Mexican Central and the Rock Is
land were not only in close touch be-
cause Of community Of interests, but be-
cause Of mutual ownership as well, and
that in the future these relations would
become so close as to be practically one
international line. 1t is reported that
the Hartman interests are buying heav-
lily in Rock Island and with a view to
secure representation in the roads man
agement, and that the steady encroac CHI
ment Of the road into Hartman terri
tory is causing no little alarm The
Mexican Central if in close touch with
the Rock Island will be in a position to
practically control the Mexican business
to the serious injury of that of the Har-
riman holdings in Mexico.

To Prove What the Great Kidney Remedy SwampROO Win Do
for YOU, Every Reader Of State Journal May Have
Sample Bottle Sent Absolutely Free by Mail.

It used to be considered that only uri-
nary and bladder troubles were to be
traced to the kidneys, but now modern
science proves that nearly all diseases
have their beginning in the disorder OF
these most important organs.
The kidneys filter and purify the
blood-that is their work.
Therefore, when your kidneys are

affected, and how every organ seems to
fail to do its duty.
If you are sick or feel badly begin
taking the great kidney remedy, DIR.

as your kidneys are well they viii help
all the other organs to health trial
will convince anyone.
Weak and unhealthy kidneys are re-
spOnsible for many kinds of diseases,
and if permitted to continue much suf-
fering with fatal results are sure to
follow. Kidney trouble irritates the
nerves, makes you dizzy, restless and
irritable. Makes you pass water often
during the day and obliges you to get
up many times during the night I'm
healthy kidneys cause rheumatism,
gravel, catarrh of the bladder, pain or

though you had heart trouble; you may
have plenty of ambition, but no
strength; get weak and waste away.
The cure for these troubles is DR..
Kilmer's Swamp-RoOt, the world
famous kidney remedy. In taking
Swamp-Root you afford natural help
to Nature, for Swamp Root is the most
perfect healer and gentle aid to the kid
neys that is known to medical science.

to your condition. take from your urine
on rising about four ounces, place it IN
glass or bottle and let it stand
twenty-fOur hours. If on examination
it is milky or cloudy, if there is a brick
dust settling, or if small particles float
about in it, your kidneys are in need of
immediate attention.
Swamp-RoOt is pleasant to take and
is used in the leading hospitals, recon-
mended by physicians in their private
practice, and is taken by doctors them
selves who have kidney ailments, be-
cause they recognize in it the greatest
and most successful remedy for kidney.
