at San Antonio. People from the north
who have come to Texas with the in
tention of spending the winter un-
menaced by winters chilling breezes in
many instances have changed their
minds and returned to their northern
homes''
Houston, Tex, Nov. 2.-While the
quarantine has in view the discontinue
ance of intercourse between San An
tonic and this city, it practically
amounts to the temporary humiliation
of rail communication. In accordance
with official notification from the pro-
per authorities, all of the lines connect
ing the two cities have issued orders to
their agents at San Antonio to refuse
transportation to any one with this city
as a destination.
Before the local board of health had
met and authorized a quarantine
against San Antonio, Southern Pacific
officials were notified by wire that the
state board of health had ordered a
quarantine against the infected city. AS
sistant General Passenger Agent HELEN
Immediately instructed the Southern
Pacific agent at San Antonio not to sell
tickets to any point in Louisiana as a
destination.
Vice President Markham of the South
ern Pacific attended the meeting of the
local board of health at which a quar-
antine against San Antonio was order
ed. The Southern Pacific officials at
San antonio were 1f1lI1eu1dlcly i1ptHlcu
of the action and instructed not to sell
tickets to this city Later a more
sweeping order was issued and sent to
the San Antonio officials ordering them
not to sell tickets to Houston or Harris
county or to any point beyond Houston
along the Southern Pacific lines This
precaution was taken to prevent a quar-
antine on the part of Louisiana against
the entire state.
The local board of>health Immediately
notified the headquarters of the other
Houston-San Antonio lines.of the action
taken and steps similar to those inaugu-
rated by the Southern Pacific were or
dered.

NEGLECTED HIS DUTY.
Yet 8. p Photographers Want Daniel
Bruce Reinstated.

The Brotherhood of Railway Teleg-
raphers have asked the Southern Pa
cific to reinstate Daniel Bruce who was
recently relieved of his duties as sta
ton agent at Cotton. 1t is said that the
brotherhood is not particular where
Bruce is assigned so long as he is given
employment by the company. The Off
Gals of the railroad have been given
until October % to comply with the re-
quest or show cause why it should not
be granted. and if at that time nothing
is done there NAV be a walkout of the
1,200 or more operators on the system
1t is not believed, however, that the
telegraDhers will carry their grievance
SO Ear when all the facts in the case
are made known 1t is said that Bruce
left his post to go out of town without
a permit. an offense in itself sufficient
to warrant dismissal, railroad men say

Motive Power.

The motive power of the Baltimore &5

$50 freight locomotives. weighing 1913, 600
pounds each. twenty high speed At
lantic type passenger engines, weighing
177.00O pounds. and thirty modern

ton electric motors using them to haul
heavy freight trains through the Balti-
more tunnel. the three 96-ton motors
handling the passenger trains. The B.

It is an unusual remedy that can be
sold in this way, but Mi-o-na IS a, re-
markable combination of flesh forming
elements combined with agents that
regulate the digestive organs and restore
health and strength.
Remember that if Mi-o-na does not do
all that is claimed for it. your money is

SIGNS BOND TO REFUND MONEY.

Mi-o-na Curing Dyspepsia and
Building Up Flesh.

1t is an easy thing for medicine to be
advertised as guaranteeing cure, money
refunded, etc, or have the druggist say,
well, yes, if it does not help, we will
return your money" but if the medi-
cine does not give satisfaction and the
customer goes back to the dealer, the
probability is that he has forgotten
what he said and there is a question
about making the refund.
Rowley & Snow in a very business
like way overcome this trouble in u
clear and definite manner. by giving the
following bond with every package of
Mi-o-na that they sell.

And the roofing was great; it beat
anything Topeka ever heard in that line.
The strong-lunged men from the state
university chanted their ~all-powerful
Rock Chalk, Jay Hawk, K. u" and
from the other end of the grand stand
came crashing back the Gatling-gun
volley of ''rahs'' which constitute the
Washburn yell Then K. U. answered with
it's derisive parody: '.E-ya-ya, e-ya-ya,
Washburn, Washburn, e-ya-yai" and
Washburns rooters, loaded for just
such a contingency, handed out TINS;
.'ES-ya-ya, e-ya-ya, K. q. wants It's ma
mama" Suddenly the band at one END
burst out with the music of the Booia,
that famous football song, and the other
band picked it up; all the K L, stu
dents sang the K. U. words, and the
grand football chorus went thunder
ing out across the gridiron where the
twenty black and Shiny men OF
mud fought so ferociously for the honor
of their alma matters. So very noisy
were the rooters that the players could
not hear the signals given by the quar-
terbacks, and the officials had to warn
both K. q. and Washburn enthusiasts
signals were being given on penalty OF

snorting their disapproval of the odor

They did not go far. but 1t was declded
that Mr.. Bear would have to forego the
pleasure of seeing the game
Washburn's team came on the field
promptly at $3.50 o'clock and was greet
ed with all the roofing the rooters could
root. The team lined up on the muddy
field, and went down across it just once,
running signals. Then they. tied up
near the south fence and waited for the
battle The X U. team appeared at
3:45 and gathered in a bunch at the
north goal, inspecting the mud and
measuring it's depth. Washburn wanted
to play % minute halves, and K o.
consented Captain Dadisman guessed
heads on the flip of the coin, but it
fell tails and Captain Brummage
chose the kick off. Washburn took the
south goal as there was little more
grass on the south end of the field. The
