SAVE OUR ROADS.
Z. I. Lee Makes Suggestion About
Location of Electric Lines.

To the Editor of the State Journal:
The building and operating of inter-
urban electric lines over the public
roads and highways of Shawnee county
will soon be reality; and as this is
an innovation in this section, it is inn
portant to start out right in locating
the tracks of the lines, for as they are
built to make time between distant
points the cars and trains will be run
at great speed and on favorable grades
at a rate equal to thirty to sixty miles
an hour, i. e., for short distances Of the
route.
In order to accommodate both the
electric lines and those using horse We
hicles with safety over the same high
ways, especially for the safety of the
women and also the children driving to
and from school, no electric line should
be built except on roads sixty feet
wide which is an ordinary width in the
country and if the lines are located
over any road not as wide as sixty feet,
the roads should be widened to that
width, at the expense of the electric
lines and the tracks laid at the extreme
outside edge of the highway, and when
a double track is required, each should
be built on the opposite sides of the
highway. This method of course Will
not be in favor with the corporations
building the electric lines; they would
rather lay their tracks right in the cen-
ter of the highway where the roadbed
for the rails and the bridges for the
road are already graded and built by
the work of years of labor paid for by
taxing the owners of the property, rear
and personal. in that road district.
If the electric tracks should be laid
in the middle of the highway it would
practically destroy the usefulness OF
abandoned to the exclusive use of the
electric lines, not only for the reason of
the fright it would cause the driving
horses but also because in extreme
muddy conditions tracks laid in the
middle of the road would render such
roads impossible to loaded wagons. Re

SIMPLE REMEDY FOR CAT ARRH.
Just Breathe Hyomei Four Times a
Day and Be Cured.

If a few years ago some one had said
you can cure catarrh by breathing air
charged with a healing balsam, the idea
would have been ridiculed and it re-
NAMED for that eminent investigator,
r. r. Booth, to discover in Hyomei this
method of cure
Hyomei has performed almost mirac-
ulous cures of catarrh and is today
recognized by leading members Of the
medical profession as the only adver-
tised remedy that can be relied upon to
do Just what it claims. The complete
outfit of Hyomei costs but $1-00. and
consists of an inhaler, a medicine drop
per and a bottle of Hyomei.
Breathe Hyomei through the inhaler
for a few minutes four times day
and It will cure the worst case of ca

Dlete and lasting cure
In Topeka there are scores of We'll
known people who say they have been
cured of catarrh by Hyomei. If it does
not cure you, Geo. W. StansGeld, 632
Kansas avenue. will return the money
you paid for Hyomei. This is the
strongest evidence that can be offered
as to his faith in the remedy.

THEY ARE WORKING.
People Along Route of Pro-
posed Electric Line Active.

All along the route of the proposed
railway extension from Topeka to
Frankfort in Marshall county enthus-
iastic boom meetings have been held
within the past week and WeStmore-
land in Pottawatomie county has even
gone so far as to begin the organ1za-
ton of a construction company. But
the WeStmOreland people are interested
in different proposition from that
which is in the minds of the other
towns and different from the one To-
peka wants. The Westmoreland people
want line from there to Wamego,
straight south, where it can make con-
nections with the Union Pacific. 1t is
out of line with the direct route from
Topeka to Frankfort.
But Major T. J. Anderson is in re-
ceipt of letter from W. L. Hill, presl-
dent of the Westmoreland Commercial
club informing him that a committee has
been named to solicit stock in the com
pany through which it is proposed TO
build the Wanaego road Westmoreland
seems to be under the impression tnat
Topeka ought to get in line and boom
this road. But Topeka isn't likely to as
long as she has the Frankfort scheme
on hand. The Frankfort road would go
through Havensville considerably east
of Westmoreland. An enthusiastic
meeting took place at Frankfort Satur-
day night and committee of five was
appointed and authorized to act with
Topeka in the formation of a construc-
ton company or in any other manner
considered advisable. Havensville held
similar meeting at which similar &C
ton was taken. AT the meeting or the
Commercial club Wednesday night
communications from these towns Will
be received and acted upon what
seems to be needed most right now Is
an enthusiastic promoter who can take
up the scheme and unite the efforts OF
the various towns to get the railroad
line that is wanted. Every community
through which it is proposed that 1t
shall pass has made known It's ap-
prevail of the scheme and its Wiling
ness to come forward with hnanclal
support
The status of the Topeka and Couns
ell Grove road as well as that OF the
Manhattan Interur ban seems to be about
the same Everybody on all three
routes wants the railway service m
stalled and is willing to pay taxes Ior
bonds for the purpose of getting the
roads started. But all of the enthus-
iastic railroad boomers are so sltuateo
that they can not give time to orsanlz-
ing the support. A meeting of the dlrec-
