OPENED ON AUGUST |
New Frisco Passenger Station
Will Be Ready for Use
WORK is BEING PUSHED
To Have Everything in Coed
Shape on OPENING

The new Frisco depot at the corner OF
Mosley and Douglas avenues viii be
opened for service August 1. NJ. H. Ru-
dolph. freight agent for the Frisco, re-
ceived official instructions yesterday sd-
vising him that the new passenger sta
ton would be opened to the public Au-
gust l. The building will probably be
completed by the Goth of July. but after
that the fixtures will have to be set in
place and the company desire to have
everything in trim order when their new
terminal is first opened for traffic at the
beginning of next month. When the
management set the date for August
they took into account any possible de-
lays so as not to disappoint the public.
The work on the depot is progressing
nicely. From without the structure will
soon present the appearance Of a fin
ished building. The tile roof is entirely
on and is partly painted. The painting
will be finished in day or two, As will
also be the outside painting. The open
ings are being made ready for the hang
ing of the doors and windows. On the
inside the men are working hard They
are at present working on the plastertng
which will also be completed in short
time. Next week the work on the plat
They are to be made of granitoid,
substance which closely resembles ce-
ment but is somewhat coarser and hard
er. There is considerable work yet to
be done, but barring accidents the sta
tioa will be completed and the fixtures
set in place with several days to spare
before the day OF the first opening
The station will be one of which any
city could well be proud. In the plan
ming of the building the principal fea-
lures kept in mind were convenience and
utility. but it is not wanting in archi-
tectural beauty. The tower. the grant,
old walks the native stone OF which the
building is made, and the wood work
painted to match, will all combine to
please the eye. The cut of the depot
made from the plans, which now hangs
In the Frisco ticket Office, is a fair like
ness of what the station looks like now
and will look when it opened on the
first day Of August.
Mr.. Rudolph also said that the new
round house would be occupied as soon
as the new turntable arrived and is set
in place which will be between the 10th
and 18th. 1t is made of native stone
and contains stalls for five engines.

and takes hold and helps out. Among
other things the colonel is quite an ex-
tensive land owner in Rice and Reno
counties and takes a lively interest in
agricultural matters. He raises wheat
and corn. but his pet crop is alfalfa,
which he thinks win in time revolution
ize the crop and cattle interests Of this
portion of Kansas. or what he is pleased
TO denonlinate the alfalfa belt of the
great west. Colonel Crimes says that
the theory that only the low bottom
lands along the streams will raise alfalfa
has hong since been exploded and that
in Rice county alfalfa is being most
successfully grown on the uplands-
Corn is coming on finely and the farmers
are very prosperous. This is demonstrate
ed by the fact that the loan business has
gone glimmering, farm loans being ex-
ceediagly scarce at this time in Rice
county and central Kansas.

stood the court and meant to plead gull

WANTS s25,o 100000 DOWN.
After That a Million a Year for the
Canal Zone.

The convocation of the Colombian
congress for January 20 is believed
by those acquainted with government
affairs to mean that President Mar
roquin is confident of having enough
support to assure the approval of the
canal treaty. GerardO Pulecio. a promi-
nent member of the conservative party,
discusses the canal question in the
Correo Nacional. published at Bogota.
He says the renewal Of the canal con-
cession granted by President San Gle
mente is legal. the government having
constitutional powers to take this step.
No company or European government
is willing to risk any money in the
canal venture after the De Lesseps
failure. therefore the United States
can only undertake the construction
Of the canal with chances of success.
Senior Pulecio says as Colombia labors
under a load of 650000,000 pesos of
paper money the present generation
and it's descendants must be saved.
He proposes the following plan:
The United States to pay Colombia
for the canal concession the sum of
S25.000,00O without discount, conces-
sion or reduction, and $1,000000 year
" for the canal zone. Colombia to be
free of any claims that may arise
AGAINST the canal company. The
United States is to recognize the
sovereignty of Colombia on the 18th
rous. The other considerations put
down by Senior Pulecio are tho same
as those that have been specified n
the treaty.

Apology From Venezuela.

An interesting account of the action
of Minister Bowen at Caracas in de-
handing an apology from the Venezue-
Ian government for the improper use
made of the American flag by the COM
mander of the Venezuelan gunboat
Restaurador, is given in the current
volume of Foreign Relations" Mr..
Bowen, without waiting for instru,-
lions from the United States, called on
the minister of foreign affairs and said
to him:
your captain dishonored the Amer
lean flag, and he should be ordered TO
raise it and salute it. and your govern
ment should apologize"
The minister desired several days in
which to investigate the matter. "The
facts that l have presented to you are
indisputable," says Mr.. Bowen. land
l can give you only 20 hours, for feel
that at the end of that time 1 must ca
bic the facts to my government"
On the following day regrets were
expressed on behalf of Venezuela, and
the flag was raised and saluted with
81 guns.

out 1t.

1t must be apparent to every one that
qualities of the highest order are neces-
sary to enable the best of the products Of
modern commerce to attain permanently
to universal acceptance. However loudly
heralded, they may not hope for worldwide
prominence unless they meet with the
general approval, not of individuals only,
but of the many who have the happy
faculty of selecting, enjoying and learn
ing the real worth of the choicest prod
ucts. Their commentator, consequently,
becomes important to Others since to
meet the requirements of the well in
formed of all countries the method of
manufacture must be of the most per-
feet order and the combination the most
not of food products. only but is espe-
cially applicable to medicinal agents and
after nearly a quarter of a century of
growth and general use the excellent
remedy. Syrup of Figs, is everywhere
accepted. throughout the world, as the
best Of family laXatves. It's quality is
due not only to the excellence of the
combination of the laxative and carmin-
alive principles of plants known to act
most benefcially on the system and pre-
scented in the form of a pleasant and re-
freshing liquid, but also to the method
of manufacture Of the California Fig
Syrup Co., which ensures that uniformi-
ty and purity essential in a remedy in
tended for family use. Ask any physi-
clan who is well informed and he will
answer at once that it is an excellent
laxative. If at ali eminent in his pro-
fession and has made a special study of
laXatives and their effects upon the sys-
tenn he will tell you that ii is the best
of family laXatives, because it is sim
pie and wholesome and cleanses and
sweetens the system effectually when
laxative is needed, without any I'M
pleasant after-effects. Every well-in-
formed druggist of reputable standing
knows that Syrup of Figs is an excel
lent laxative and is glad to sell it, at
the regular price of fifty cents per bot
tie, because 1t gives general satisfac-
ton, but one should remember that in
order to get the beneficial effects of
Syrup of Figs it is necessary to buy the
genuine, which is sold in original pack
ages only; the name of the remedy
Syrup Of Figs and also the full name of
the Company-California Fig Syrup Co.
