NOT DUE TO CLIMATE.
catarrl is Found Everywhere.

Catarrh is at home anywhere and
everywhere. While more common in
cold, chsngeable climates, it is by no
means confined to them, but is prevalent
in every state and territory in the union
The common definition of catarrh is a
chronic cold in the head, which if long
neglected often destroys the sense of
smell and hearing; but there are many
other forms of the disease, even more
obstinate and dangerous
Catarrh of the throat and bronchial
tubes as well as catarrh of the stomach
and liver are almost as common as nasal
catarrh and generally more difficult to
cure.
Catarrh is undoubtedly a blood dis
ease and can only be successfully erad1-
Gated by an internal treatment Sprays,
washes and powders are useless as far
as reaching the real seat of the disease
is concerned
DR. McIverney advises catarrh suf-
ferers to use a new preparation, sold by
druggists, called Stuarts Catarrh TAB
lets. because actual analysis has shown
these tablets to contain certain anti
septic qualities of the highest value and
being an internal remedy, pleasant to
the taste, convenient and harmless, can
be used as freely as required, as web
for children as for adults.
An attorney and public speaker. who
had been a catarrh sufferer for years,
says:
/. Every fall 1 would catch a cold
which would settle in my head and
throat and hang on all winter long ana
every winter it seemed to get a little
worse. I was continually clearing my
throat and my voice became affected
to such an extent as to interfere with
my public speaking.
I tried troches and cheap cough cures
and sometimes got relief. but, only for a
short time until this winter when I
learned of the new catarrh cure, Stuart g
Catarrh Tablets, through a newspaper
advertisement. Two fifty cent boxes
which I bought at my druggists. cleared
my head and throat in fine shape and
to guard against a return Of my old
trouble 1 keep a box of the tablets on
hand and whenever I catch a little cold
I take tablet or two and ward off any
serious developments"
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets deserves tc
/ head the list as a household remedy, tc
check and break up coughs and colds
because unlike many other catarrh anc
cough cures these tablets contain ne
] orfa re- cocaine or any injurious drug.

Four New MikadO Engines Will
Arrive Monday.
Take the Place Of DecapOds for
Mountain Work.
SHORTER WHEEL BASE.
That Is the Chief Point of I'm
prOVement.
Santa Fe Has Bought 10 Mika-
dos at $4,000 Each.
SHORTER WHEEL BASE

On Monday it is expected that the
first four of the new Mikado type OF To-
comotiveS ordered by the Santa Zee from
the Baldwin works will arrive IN To-
peka, to be set up and put in running
order Altogether fifteen engines OF TINS
type have been purchased by the santa
F'e. at a cost of about $4,000 apiece.
The Mikado engines are to take tins
places of the decapods. They are to be
used in hauling heavy freight trains on
the mountain divisions of the road. The
chief difference between the Mikados
and the decapods is in the number of
drivers which constitute the wheel base.
The decapods have five pairs of drivers.
The Mizados have four pairs, the rear
pair of drivers being replaced by
truck This gives the Mikados an ad-
vantage on sharp curves. and it is be
iieved that all the difficulties which have
been found with the decaDodS will be
obviated by the Mikados. As far as
weight and size is concerned the M1kadO
type is fully the equal of the decapodA
which are the heaviest engines on earth.
AS was stated by General Manager Il.
u. Nudge several days ago, the trouble
with the decaDOdS for mountain serN\e
is not that they are too heavy, but that
they do not back up easily, and that IN
backing the long W-eel base causes the
wheels to cut the inside of the rails on
sharn curves.
The Santa Fe is evidently determined
to use tremendously powerful engines on
its mountain divisions, especially at
Ration and san BernardinO@ Having aScer-
tanned by trial that the decapods are not
entirely successful the plan is to sell
those monsters to some road which had
no 10 degree curves. The Northern Pa
cifc IS likely to get them But the place
of the decapods viii be filed by the
Mikados. The operating officials of the
road realize that in order to secure eco
nomical operation on the mountain divis-
ions. they must arrange their motive
power to haul long trains. 1t is a losing
game to be obliged to fasten three or
four engines to one train to pull it over
the steep grades.
The freight engines are not built so
strong that they will haul cars until the
draft gear-that is the drawheads and
couplers-breaks. This has frequently
happened on Ration mountain, where the
powerful decapods have pulled the draw
heads oat of the long freight trains To
overcome this there have been devised
improved draft gears, and it is claimed
a new draft gear manufactured by the
Westinghouse company will stand the full
tractive force of two locomotives.
In 1870 the engine which could move p
cars Of 10 tons capacity each, was a pow
erful machine. Now modern locomotive
will take 50 or upwards of steel cars. each
having capacity of 30 TONS over the
rails at a speed of 80 miles an hour which
would have been out of the question 80
years ago with the lighter equipment.

STEEL CRANE BROKE.
Santa Fe Having Hard Time With
Hutchinson Wreck.

Hutchinson, Kas.. Dec. 20.-Bad luck
seems to follow the wreck in the Santa
Fe yards yesterday morning. The big
steel crane brought here from Topeka
to lift the wrecked engine and baggage
car got out Of repair last night. Two
pieces of the mechanism broke and the
work of getting the engine up was de-
layed until duplicate pieces were brought
from Topeka. At noon today the engine
was still on its side. A rail had been
fastened to the wheels on the upper
side and it will be tipped over until the
rails are on terra firma. Then the other
side will be lacked up and the wheels
placed on a rail. In this manner it will
be hauled on to the track again. 1t is
to be taken to Topeka for repairs.

MAY MOVE JoUGH1Ns.
He Would Like to Have His Office at
Los Angeles

Los Angeles.
The people of San Bernardino and the
depot force at the Santa Fe yards may not
be surprised, in the near future, if they
are made acquainted with the news that
the company officials have decided to
move Mechanical Superintendent Joughins

city to Los Angeles, says the San Bernar-
dino Sun.
On the other hand If they have already
heard a rumor to the effect that such a

there's nothing doing"
The matter. in nutshell, amounts to
this; Mr.. Joughins is desirOus, for rea-

he feels assured it is for the best, to have

son is just now in the west and spent sew
eral hours in this city last Sunday. At
that time he was with Mr.. Joughins and 1t
is understood that the mechanical super
intendent asked the superintendent to have
his headquarters transferred. Whether
Mr. Henderson and the other officials Of
the road who viii have voice in the
matter will look with favor upon the
proposition is problematicaL
An argument that San Bernardino is the
ideal spot for the mechanical superinten-
dents office is evidenced by the fact that
it was brought here from Albuquerque
several years ago. At that time it would
have been just IS easy to have moved II
60 miles farther. into Los Angeles but To-
cation and other reasons gave this city
the preference. Should the office be moved
to Los Angeles it would also nscessitate
the paving of office rent. Here no such
expense is incurred, for the reason that
the company owns the building in which
the headquarters now are. Mr.. JOughins
was in Los Angeles yesterday and could
not be interviewed regarding the matter

SISTERS OF CHARITY
All Over the United States Use
Pe-ru-na For Catarrf1.

A recommend recently received from
a Catholic institution in the Southwest
reads as follows:
A Prominent Mother Superior Says:
Il can testify from experience to ths
efficacy of Peruna as one of the very
best medicines, and it gives me pleasure
to add my praise to that OF thousands
who have used 1t. For years suffered
with catarrh of the stomach, all RENE
dies proving valueless for relief. Last
spring 1 went to Colorado, hoping to be
benefited by a change of climate ana
while there a friend advised me to try
Peruna After using two bottles found
myself very much improved. The re-
mains of my old disease being now so
slight, 1 consider myself cured, yet for
while I intend to continue the use OF
Peruna. 1 am now treating another
patient with your medicine She has
been sick with malaria and troubled
with leucorrhaea. 1 have no doubt that
a cure will be speedily effected"
These are samples of letters re.
ceived by DR.. Hartman from the
various orders Of Catholic Sisters
throughout the United states.
The names and addresses to these let
tiers have been withheld from respect
to the sisters, but will be furnished on
request.
One-half of the diseases which aff1ice
mankind are due to some catarrhal de-
rangement of the mucous membrane
lining some organ or passage of the
body.
A remedy that would act Immediately
upon the congested mucous membrane
restoring it to its normal state. would
consequently cure all these diseases.
Catarrh is catarrh wherever located,
whether it be in the head. throat,
lungs. stomach. kidneys or pelvic or
gans. A remedy that will cure it in one
location will cure it in all locations.
If you do not derive prompt and salts
factory results from the use of Peruna,

MIGHT BE WORSE.
Texas Car Shortage Being Felt by
Santa Fe.

Fort Worth. Tex, Dec. 20.-sThis cry
of car shortage in Texas. in my iudg
ment, is overdone" said a prominent
railroad man today in discussing the
situation. He continued by saying that
it was true there was some trouble from
this source on some of the lines. >rinci
paliy the Texas & Pacific and the Gulf,
Colorado & Santa Fe. but with these
two exceptions the other roads have
been handling business very satisfactor
lily, considering the number of cattle
that were made ready for the markets
He claims that what shortage there is
is due to abnormal conditions, one of
which is the fact that cattle fattened
at the feed pens much quicker this sea-
son than last, and consequently We're
ready to be shipped before the railroads
had been properly advised.
The shipment of cattle to market this
year from points along the Santa Fe,
Texas & Pacific and other western and
southwestern roads will not be as large
as last season by 90 per cent. and it g
estimated that not to exceed 100, 900 head
will find their way to market this year.
