THROUGH TO CHICAGO.
Santa Fe Line Open With Aid of
Burlington.

The Santa Fe has again established
through train service between here and
Chicago Thursday noon the Burlington
opened up their line from kansas CITY
to Chicago and as soon as the Santa
Fe heard of it that road Immediately
obtained the consent of the Burlington
officials to allow Santa Fe trains to run
out of Kansas City over their line. The
Santa Fe line from Kansas City 10 Lex
ingtOn Junction is shut down on ac-
count of waShOuts and for this reason
it is necessary for the Santa F'e to use
some other line out of Kansas City To-
day all of the Santa Fe's through trains
Will go clear through to Chicago. They
Will leave the main line at Kansas City
and viii run northeast over the Bur
lngtOn'S tracks TO Cameron. then due
east until they again strike their own
line at Bucklin. about ten miles east of
Marceline. From Bucklin Santa Fe
trains will run on into Chicago over
their own tracks. This system of de-
touring trains to Chicago will be con
tinued by the Santa Fe until their line
from Kansas City to Lexington Junction
is opened. 1t is not known when this
will be.
Now that the Santa Fe is running
trains through to Chicago the passenger
service is a fair makeshift considering
the damage done by the flood. The at
fention of the officials is now turned to
the freight service. For the last two
weeks that part of the Santa Fe train
service has been tied up completely as
has the freight service of all the other
roads running into Topeka. Occasional
~ train would be loaded at the
freight house and sent out of here for
some point on the south line but there
was no freight shipped into Topeka up
until several days ago when the Santa
Fe opened up their st. Joseph line ex
cept that carried for the food relief by
the Rock Island Now that most of the
lines are open the freight traffic is inn
proving and extra freights are continu-
ally pulling into Topeka from the diff
ferent points where they were tied up
during the high water. About twelve
extra freights arrived here yesterday
from ST. Joseph. Trains are continually
coming in from Argentine and from the
south. No 81 and 81, the local freight
running between here and Argentine,
has not yet been started but it is said
that the first train will leave Topeka to-
morrow Several thousand carloads of
freight were tied up east of St Joseph
during the flood and everything possible
is being done to relieve this blockade.
Rock Island freight was tied up during
the flood at both St Joseph and Herring
ton, westbound freight at St. Joseph and
eastbound at Herington. Rock Island
trains are running on every line with
the exception of the Salina line, which
has not yet been repaired. Some of the
freight is being moved but it was stated
yesterday by one of the officials that on
! account of the soft track the freight
could not be moved as fast as they
wished. The Rock Island is still using
light engines on account of the track
being too soft for the heavier ones.

His Last Hope Realized =.
From the Sentinel, Gebo, Mont !

From the Sentinel, Gebo, Mont.l
In the first opening of Okla
homa to settlers in 1889, the editor
of this paper was among the many
seekers after fortune who made the
big race one fine day IN April.
During his travelling about and
afterwards his camping upon his
claim. he encountered much bad
water, which, together with the
severe heat, gave him a very severe
diarrhoea which it seemed almost
impossible to check, and along in
June the case became so bad he
expected to die. One day one of
his nei ghbors brought him one
small bottle Of Cham berlain's
Collie, Cholera and Diarrhoea
Remedy as last hope. A big
dose was given him while he was
rolling about on the ground in
great agony, and in few minutes
the dose was repeated. The good
effect of the medicine was soon
noticed and within an hour the
patient was taking his first sound
sleep for fortnight. That one
little bottle worked a complete
cure, and he cannot help but feel
grateful. The season tor bowel
disorders being at hand suggests
this item. For sale by w. NJ.
