Queer Thing, the Lung Fish.

Protoper'ls Annectens, the lung
fish, is dead and buried in a grave Of
alcohol. The remains can be seen
in the geological laboratory of Colum-
bia university, where, with tweezers
and scalpel, the students have laid
bare the inner secrets Of his anatomy.
Until the ling fish died a few days
ago, after suffering only a few hours
from acute pneumonia, il was the
only living specimen Of it's kind in
this part Of the world. 5 It's ancestors
belonged to the far-off DeYonian age,
and this fish has been thought by
some to be a peculiar class Of verte-
brates standing midway between
fishes and batrachians; but It is
really not amphibious, although t it
has both bronchial and pulmonary
respiration. It comes from the warm
waters Of the Nile and other rivers
of that region. Some of its native
streams 60 dry in summer, hence
nature has provided the lung fish, or,
as they are technically known, Dip
moi, with a double breathing appar-
atus suitable for water and the dry
ground. In the latter case the swim.

Kansas City, Kan, Dec. 3.-The COM
mittee appointed by the Mercantile
club of Kansas City, Kan, to work for
the building of the Missouri Pacific
shops in that city has been carrying
on a quiet campaign that is expected
to influence the final decision of the
road. The committee consists of George

President Stumpf received a letter from
Russell Harding, vice president and
general manager of the Missouri Pa
cific, dated at st. Louis, November 80.
In the letter Mr.. Harding said
kansas City, Kan, has not been ov-

UNCLE SANS RAILROADS.
What the Government Is Doing With
the Philippine Lines.

Recent reports of the United States
engineers at work in the Philippines, in
addition to setting forth the condition
and prospects of the Manila and Bag
upan railroad, 122 miles long, the only
railroad to the archipelago, announce
new surveys for railroads connecting
with all the industrial centers of the
country.
One of these connects Dagupan with
Baguio, the summer capital. But the
proposed system calls for franchises
for 500 miles of road, running in various
directions from Mantle. One line is to
run from Manila to APART, 1856 miles,
to cost IS, 675, 602. Another will be an
extension of the Hanila and Dagupan
road, running from Dagupan to Laoga,
distance of 1853 miles, to cost SO, 367, :
700. A third is to run from Manila to
Batangas, a distance of seventy miles,
to cost 81, 100, 900.
These roads will tap regions in which
there is a large and rapidly increasing
production of cocoanut, tobacco, coffee,

Bladder and Urinary Troubles
Promptly Cured by Swamp-ROot
Because Swamp-Root is the Most Gentle Healer and
Natural Aid to the Kidneys and Bladder
That Has Ever Been Discovered.

No matter how many doctors you
have tried-no matter how much money
you may have spent on other medi-
cines, you really owe it to yourself, and
to your family to at least give Swamp
Root trial. Its staunchest friends to-
day are those who had almost given up
hope of ever becoming well again.
If you are sick or feel badly" begin
taking DIR. Kilnier's Swamp Root, the
great kidney, liver and bladder remedy
because as soon as your kidneys are
getting better, they will help all the
other organs to health. A trial will con-
vince anyone
There is comfort in the knowledge, so
often expressed, that DR.. Kilmer's
Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy,
fulfills every wish in relieving pain in
the back, kidneys, liver, bladder and
every part of the urinary passage. 1t
corrects inability to hold urine and
scalding pain in passing it, and over
comes that unpleasant necessity Of be-
ing compelled to get up many times
during the night to urinate.
If your water when allowed to remain
undisturbed in a glass or bottle for
twenty-four hours, forms a sediment or
settling, or has a cloudy appearance, it
is evidence that your kidneys and blad-
der need immediate attention.
Swamp-Root is the great discovery of
DR.. Kilmer, the eminent kidney and
bladder specialist Hospitals use it with
wonderful success in both slight and
severe cases. Doctors recommend it to
their patients and use it in their own
families, because they recognize in
Swamp-Root the greatest and most sue
cessfuI remedy.
Swamp Root is pleasant to take and
is for sale the world over at druggists

SANTA FE's STRONG POSITION
Could Lose % Per Cent of Income
and Still PAY Dividends.

In making a comparison of the pros
poets of the Southern railway and the
Santa Fe, the Boston News Bureau
s.ys the Southern railway preferred is
now selling at about u, at which price
its per cent dividends yield 6 2-3 per
cent. The quotation is Is points less
than Atchison preferred, paying the
same rate. In case, however, of a gem
eral shrinkage in railroad earnings,
Atchison's dividends are much the
safer. It is figured that if the gross
earnings of Southern railway fell off 10
per cent, the dividends on the preferred
would be endangered. In the depression
of 1896, according to Poor's Manual,
the gross earnings of the Southern At
lantic group of roads fell off 16 per cent
1t was recently figured that Atchison
could earn its preferred dividends af-
ter a shinkage of over % per cent in
gross earnings, or more than in the
depression following 1898.

the place of the old one across the
tracks from the passenger depot, which
is now occupied by the offices of the di-
vision superintendent and the local
freight agent.
The building will be two stories built
of red pressed brick and 20 by 50 feet.
These dimensions are only those of the
building that is to- contain the division
offices and stationery department. In
connection with this building there will
be erected on the north a big freight
shed 800 by AZ feet. The capacity of
these sheds will be a great deal larger
than that of the building now in use.
1t is partly for thiSe reason that the
idea of erecting the new freight depot
was conceived. 1t is stated that the
present quarters are all too small for
the immense amount of freight that is
handled by the Santa Fe at this point.
Several years ago this building was all
that was required but of late years the
Santa Fe's business has outgrown the
capacity of its freight sheds and new
building was found to be necessary.
The erection of this new structure will
neceSSitate the changing of many of the
tracks in the Santa Fe yards. In fact the
At present most of the tracks are located
on the east side of the yards, but if the
site of the freight depot is to be changed
to the west side the same will have to be
done with the tracks in order that trains
may be loaded and unloaded at the
freight sheds.
The big freight shed is to be one of the
principal features of the new building.
Unlike the division offices and stationery
department, it viii be frame build
ing, but it is intended that it shall be the
most modern and up-to-date building OF
it's kind west of Kansas City. The roof
will be supported by big pillars and big
rolling doors will take the place of siding.
During the winter these doors are to be
closed, but in the summer all of them Will
be thrown open. In this way the building
will be well ventilated and in that partic-
uIar alone will be worth several times its
cost to the men who are to be employed
there
Santa Fe officials can not say just
when work will be commenced on the
new building, but it is thought that the
ground will be broken about the first Of
the year. All that prevents the work from
beginning at once is the old Railroad :.
M. C. A. building, which is still occupied
by the association and which occupies the
site intended for the new freight depot
1t is stated, however. that the new Rail
road Y. NJ. C. A. building will be ready for
use some time i'll December and just as
soon as the association makes the change
the work on the new depot will begin.
1t is estimated that the cost of the new
building will be about $40. 900.

those installed November 16, will ag-
gregate 81, 229, 981.
1t is estimated that favorable reports
received and approved will average 800
routes per month. At this rate, the
appropriation now available will be ex-
hausted about March 1, 1904, and the
work of installation of rural route dur
ing the current fiscal year will then
have to be discontinued unless a sup
Elemental appropriation is made by
congress. Three hundred thousand dol
lars will be sufficient to- enable the de-
partment to continue the establishment
of the service as fast as routes are IA
vorably reported and approved for the
remainder of the current fiscal year.
ESTIMATES FOR 1904-5.
Eleven thousand seven hundred petit
lions were pending June 80, 1903, and
2,002 cases for investigation have been
made up since that date. OF this num-
Der, 5,266 routes have been established
or ordered established, leaving approxi-
mately 6,9S7 petitions pending.
For the purpose of bringing the work
of examining proposed routes up to
date, and expediting the work of in
vestigating special inspection cases, an
increase of sc in the field force of the
rural free delivery service has been
recommended, making a total OF liza
men for that work.
Theer are now in operation 19, 1898
routes. It is estimated that $3.50 addi-
tional routes can be established out OF
the APPROPRIATION now available, IIldh~
ing o. 678 which will be in operation or
ordered established by March l, 1904.
During the year there were 1,64S rob-
berries of postoffices, compared with 1,146
in 1902. There were III robberies of mail
trains, mail messengers, star route car
riers and wagons, rural free delivery car
riers and screen wagons, as compared
with 81 in 1902; S03 of street and rural free
delivery letter boxes, compared with 400
in 1902. This large increase is accounted
for by the growth of the rural free deliv-
cry service. 1t is obvious that boxes
placed along the country highways are
much more liable to depredations than
those along city STREETS. The number of
postal cars burned and wrecked in 1903
was II: in 1902, "a. The number of post
offices burned in 1903 was 557; in 1902, $50.
The number of mail pouches lost, darn
aged, rified and not recovered was 19Sl;
in 1902, 1,504.
The total number of arrests during the
fiscal year was 1854. OF this number 107
were postmasters, 27 were assistant post
masters, Go were clerks in postoffices,
were railway postal clerks, "A were letter
carriers, 81 were mail carriers and 80 were
employed in minor positions in the pos
tai service. The remainder Q,542) were
persons not connected in any way with
the postal service, among whom were S41

SANTA FE MEN INVOLVED.
Three Arrested at Great Bend on
Complaint of a Girl.

George Barnett, Fred Hooper and K.
S. Title. Santa Fe men, have been
arrested and are now in the county
jail awaiting trial on charges of a Sc
rious nature preferred by 15-year-old
Dora Nelson. 1t seems that the Nelson
girl was working in a hotel at Scott
City where she had been left by her
father with no refa to look after
her Barnett. who brakes on the
branch, became acquainted with her,
and representing that he was a single
man caused the girl to become inter-
ested in him. He then persuaded her
to come to Great Bend, telling her that
she could get better wages there, but
instead of bringing her to Great Bend
he had her get off at Ness City. She
then came to Great Bend by herself
later. Here she became acquainted
with Title and Hooper, who are made
parties to the case. The Nelson girl
has been working at various places in
town. On Monday she was arrested
by the city authorities as a vagrant,
with hopes of finding out more about
other parties interested in her, but her
fine was promptly paid by a young
man and she was released Later she
was arrested with this same Young
man. and the facts which have led up
to the present arrest were obtained
from her.-Great Bend Item.
