Santa Fe Gradually Taking Shops to
chanute and Topeka

Chanute. Kas.. Dec. st has been
persistently rumored among the rail-
road men for several DAYS. in fact
ever since Master Mechanic Mitchell
received instructions to move the ma
chincry from the old round house to
the new addition, that the Ottawa ma
chine shops were to be moved to Cha
mute Supt Barnes, when asked if the
report had any foundation. replied that
he had received no intimation of the
removal of the machine shops. but
that preparations were being made to
move part of the machinery to this
division point. This win bring a num-
Der of maobinists to Chanute and is
probably only another step towards the
gradual absorption of the Ottawa shops
by this point The Santa Fe cannot
remove tie shops there abruptly with
out FORGETTING buildings and land, some
80 or 40 acres having been donated to
the road as long as the shops were
maintained there.
Of late years more and more of the
work is being taken to the Topeka
shops, and of the 125 machinists who

YOUR MONEY RETURNED
II HyomeI Does Not Cure You of Ca
tarrl1. says Geo. w. StausfieId.


In advertising that they will refund
the money to any one purchasing a
Hyomei outfit who can say that it has
done them no good in the treatment
of catarrh, Geo. w. Stansfield means
exactly what the guarantee says.
OF course the percentage of cures
by Hyomei is nearly one hundred or
else he could not afford to make this
unusual offer. But if the treatment
should not be adapted to your case there
will be no questions or quibblings when
you go to get your money.
That the beginning of catarrh is due
to the presence of germs in the air
passages is now admitted by every
physician. It stands to reason that
catarrh cannot be cured unless these
germs are first destroyed. The Hyomei
treatment kills the catarrh germs
and heals the irritated mucous mem
brane and makes complete and lasting
cures in cases that have resisted the
usual methods of treatment.
Catarrh cannot be cured by med
icines administered through the stom-
ach Hyomei is the only natural
method and it has made cures that
seem miraculous. The outfit costs but
81 and consists of an inhaler which will
last lifetime and sufficient Hyomei
for several weeks treatment. Addf-
tional bottles of Hyomei can be pro-
cured for SOC
Geo. W. Stansfield, druggist. ss2
Kansas avenue, gives his personal
guarantee with every Hyomei outfit
he sells to refund the money if it does
not cure. There is no risk whatever
to the purchaser of Hyomei.

The investigation of petitions for ru-
raj service and laying out of the

ial agents and route inspectors. For
the purpose of giving these agents a
uniform title more distinctive of the

Country Editors Little Slow About
Selling Transportation

Sca1pers are once more after the coun-
try editors, importuning them to sell
their mileage tickets which they receive
from the railroads for advertising.
They offer the highest market prices
for such transportation, and give as
surance that all such transactions will
be strictly CONFIDENTIAL
Many of the country editors, however,
have become wary of these offers of the
scalpers,> having learned by experience
that upon detection editors who sell

FREE DELIVERY.
The work of the bureau has been
greatly increased by the assignment to
it of the division of free delivery. The
free delivery is expanding more rapid
ly than any other branch of the postal
service. It's growth during the fiscal
year has been greater than at any other
time since free delivery was established.
It presents a great many problems for
careful consideration. as the expendi-
lures, when@0nce authorized, become
practically permanent, because free de-
livery, after being established, cannot
be easily Withdrawn. The estimated
expenditure for the fiscal year begin
ming July 1, 1904. for both city and ru-
raj free delivery will aggregate about
SAT, 900, 900, an amount equal to that ex-
pended for the maintenance of the en-
tire postal service in the year 1884.
There were 2,707 postoffices establish
ed during the year, a decrease as COM
pared with the previous year of 331.
There were 4, 1862 postof1ces discontin-
ued during the year, being 40S more
than during the preceding year.
The principal use for the large in
crease in the number of postofficeS dis
continued has been the extension of
the rural free delivery service.
On June go 1908. at the close of the
fiscal year, there were "a, 169 poStofficeS,
divided as follows: First class, 242; sec
ond Glass; I, 10Y; third class, $500; fourth
class, SO, 100.
City free delivery service has been
established in SO postofiices during the
year, as against 81 in 1902, Sc in 1901
and 81 in 1900. At the close of the fiscal
year there were 1882 free delivery Of

CURRENT COMMENT
 THE CASE OF GEN. WOOD.

Boston Herall: It seems to have re- solved itself into a question as to whether General Wood or Major Rath- bone is guilty
 New York News: Senator Hanna s fight against Gen. Leonard Wood does not confirm the theory that the sena- tor was the original Roosevelt man.
 Philadelphia Inquirer-The fight at San Juan Hill seems destined to be d small affair compared with the battle of confirmation, in both of which Gen. Wood figures prominently.
 Boston Herald: It is just as well that the hearing on the question of confirming Gen. Wood is to be public. Let's hear all the facts. and then peo- pie can judge for themselves about Gen. Wood
 Philadelphia Bulletin: If Gen. Leon ard Wood is honestly entitled to the high military position to which he has been nominated, his friends should not object to a searching examination of his record
 Buffalo Courier: If the allegations relating to the gambling enterprise are true. not cnly should his nomination be rejected. but he ought to be dis missed from the service, flor the honor of the army
 New York Telegram: Antonio To- peg y Monte and Rafael Alfonso V Mu- noz have made affidavit against Gen Leonard Wood. but they fail to state whether they are acquainted with Maj. Estes G. Rathbone.
 Providence Journal: That is a very ill., tured and unreasonable sheer which is conveyed by Senator Teller's call upon the president for Gen Woods military record. The record is IS good as it is short.
 Pittsburg Dispatch: If there is tang ible proof that Gen. Wood, as gover- nor general, accepted valuable gifts from syndicate to which he granted a gambling privilege. the facts should be closely inquired into
 Philadelphia Inquirer: The worst re- suit of the fuss that is being made about Gen. Wood will probably be to introduce the game of jai alai into this country before we have learned how to pronounce the name
 Memphis Scimitar: Senator Teller is so impertinent as to have the nomina- tion of Gen. Leonard Wood held up until he can look into the record of that valiant warrier. As though ev- erybody didn't know what Gen. Wood has done.
 Pittsburg Gazette: Opposition to
