IN YANaER's TRAINING CAMP
Chicago Boy Is Close to Weight Need
ed for Fight With Hanlon.

San Francisco. Sept. 26.-Yanger had
Charlie Sieger as a boxing partner at
the beach yesterday afternoon and a
crowd of curious people went out to
gain line on the man who is to fight
Britt as well as to see what sort of
physical condition the Italian intends
taking into the ring with him next
Tuesday night when he faces Eddie
Hanlon for the second time.
The verdict on both counts was more
than satisfactory. Yanger seemed in
fine fettle. He is within easy hailing
distance of the 130-pound mark and will
make no effort to reach it until two
days before the fight. The hand that
was broken on Hanlon's elbows has
mended and is as strong as ever Like
wise the back that troubled him during
his last trip to the coast, is well. Be-
sides three rounds with Sieger, he put
on the gloves for three rapid periods of
light work with youngster named
Evans and topped off with a trio of
slain-bang rounds against Billy Otis.
This was in addition to a plentiful por-
ton of gymnasium doings that brought
the afternoons laborS I'D to full hour.
A referee has not been selected as yet,
but il is pretty well settled that Eddie
Smith will be the man.

Railroads Planning a General
Advance in Freights.
Will Go Into Effect on January
l, 1904.
INCREASED EXPENSES.
This Is Assigned as Reason for
Advance.
Shippers Will Combine to Pre-
vent the Raise.

Chicago. Sept. 26.-The Record-Herald
says: A movement is on foot by the
railroads of the entire country to bring
about a general advance in freight
rates, the general reason assigned. be-
ing the big increase in the wages of
all classes of labor and in the price of
all materials used by the railroads. A
similar advance was made one year
ago for the same reasons and went into
effect January 1 last. At, that time
shippers generally protested, and it is
understood various industrial associa-
tons will combine to prevent further
advances.
The Trunk Line association is said
to be planning for a general increase
amounting to 10 per cent, to become
effective January l. Railroad officials
say that with the present prices de-
creases in net revenues can not be pre-
vented unless freight rates are ad-

LETTER FROM sALArH1EL,
Says He Is Fixing to Build His Elec-
trio Road.

The News was shown a letter last
week from Mr.. T. S. Salathiel, president
of the Topeka, Lawrence & Kansas City
Electric railway. which, among other
things, stated that necessary papers
were being drawn for trust deed and
bond issue, from the proceeds of which
the road is to be constructed. The let
ter also stated that within two weeks
steps would be taken to close up an OPP
ton on certain properties in Eudora, for
the use of the railway.
1t does not seem possible that Mr..
Salathiel would make these very posi-
tive statements unless that another rail-
way, whether electric or steam, is soon
to come through here. This is the rail-
way which asked for and at a meeting

WORKING SURPLUS LEssENED
Rock Island Still Has Plenty of Fl
nancial Strength.

The market condition of the Rock Is
land and the position of the Rock Is
land party, so called, Is well defined in
the Wall Street Journal by the fol-
lowing facts:
/. The working surplus of the Rock
Island company. which was about $780,
000, 600 seven months ago. is now some
millions below that figure
@ The private fortunes of the four
leading capitalists in Rock Island have
not been seriously impaired by the de-
cline in the market during the past
twelve months. The value of securities
owned outright has, of course dimin-
ished. and their borrowing credit has
been correspondingly curtailed. The
same remark applies to every bank,
corporation and individual stakeholder
in America. The return on the original
investment in old Rock Island stock.
calculating the cost of this stock at
100, is a very handsome one.
3. The Rock Island party has no in
vestments or commitments in the mar
ket that are not in their opinion thor
oughly safeguarded against the most
adverse conditions that can possibly
arise in Wall street. The long contin-
ued absence of Judge Moore and J. H.
Moore from the Wall street district re-
fleets truly the attitude of this interest
toward the market so far as SDecula-
ton is concerned.
A. The Rock Island party is in a po-
sition to carry for three years if nee
essary certain commitments that will
tirely out of the market
5. So far as the market for Rock
Island securities is concerned the pol
icy of the Rock Island group is a wait
ing policy strictly. They regard the
market prices of their securities as en-
tirely too low on the basis of intrinsic
value. but they. are content to await a
change in market conditions.

Topeka Young Man Does Newspaper

Peter F. Wall is a Kansas boy, just well
out of his twenties. who is making his
way rapidly a newspaper business man.
ager in Manila Wall was born in St

most of his education in the parochial

REPLACING OLD RAILS.
Santa Fe Improving Track Between
Chanute and Cherryvale.

The Chanute Sun says: The old worn
out steel rails on the Santa Fe main line
of this division are being removed be-
tween Chanute and Cherryvale and re-
placed with steel having ten pounds adj
ditional weight The track from Cha
mute to Wellington is composed of fifty
pound rails which have been used for
heavy work SO long that the original
weight is much decreased. The steel
now being laid is sixty-six pound
weight. 1t is second hand stuff from
the main line through Newton ana
originally weighed seVenty-one pounds
but has been greatly worn down.
The distance to Cherryvale is 25 miles
and the new rails will materially i'm
prove this stretch of track. They will
be laid upon the old ties, no attempt
being made to improve or ballast the
road bed at present. AS the Santa Fe
is encountering great difficulty in OBJ
tanning, laborers and track men it is
probable that sixty days will be con-
sumed in the work. A force of ten men
were brought down from Kansas City
yesterday morning and six deserted
after half a day of work Small gangs
are constantly being recruited and sent
down but very few of them remain
longer than a few days. The small wage
schedule paid by the road compared
with other wages paid in this section
and the exertion required in the work
is responsible for the dearth of en-
ployes. A force OF about thirty is en-
should the foreman be able to material
ly increase this number the new track
may be completed in less than two
months. The condition of the track be-
tween this point and Cherryvale could
scarcely be worse and the contemplated
improvement is source of great salts
faction to trainmen.
Twenty-eight cars of the heavy rails
came in last night so that there is now
about $1,000 feet in the yards ready for
distribution The track men began
boiling the rails together yesterday and
they will be laid in sections. When the
main line work is finished the officials
contemplate completing the stretch laid
last year on the Girard branch. Second
hand rails of an increased weight were
laid on the branch from Walnut to
Pittsburg several months ago and the
work Will now be completed by extending
the heavy steel to Chanute. AT Newton,
from whence the steel comes, new So
pound rails are being laid. Rails of this
weight have recently replaced the old
steel from Ottawa to Kansas City
which, should heavier rails be laid be-
tween this point and Ottawa, would
give the Santa F'e $50 miles of good
track on this division.

Louise Matt. Battle Creek. Mich,
writes:
81 can only say what others have
said before me, that Peruna Is a most
wonderful medicine for catarrhal and
stomach troubles.
81 suffered so long with indigestion
and dyspepsia, and tried so many
things to cure me, without relief, that
made up my mind my case was hope
less. One of my friends advised me
to try Peruna for month, assuring
me that could not fail to find from
its use some relief and possibly a
cure. So I took new courage and
bought a bottle of Peruna, determined
to give it a thorough trial, which
did, in just six week was entirely
rid of my stomach trouble, and bless
the day when Peruna was brought to
my notice. "..-Louise Matt.
No medicine in the world has cured
more cases of dyspepsia than Peruna.
The reason for this is that dyspepsia in
a great majority of cases depends upon
