1900 Carloads Will Be
Handled This Season.
USES ITS OWN CARS.
This Is Said to Be the Reason
for Increase.
Order Has Been Given for 500
MOre Cars.

Chicago, Oct. loving largely to the
fact that it has been using its own re-
frigerator ears. the Santa Fe railroad
company is breaking all records this
season for the transportation of Cali
fornia fruit. The superintendent of the
Santa FEES fruit car line said yester-
day that the company would haul dur
ing the season more than 1900 car
loads of fruit, which is an increase of
$500 carloads over last year. 1t is
also said that the total traffic in Cali
fornia fruit over the Santa Fe lines
this year will exceed the aggregate
traffic by all other lines. Owing to the
enormous business which the company
is doing in the fruit line an order has
just been given for 500 new refrige-
rator cars. to be delivered as soon as
they can be constructed When these
are received the Santa E'e will have over
1000 .refrigerato tor cars and will be in
dependent of the Armour car line and
other companies operating private cars.
The rapid growth of the Santa FEES
fruit traffic during the last two sea-
sons 1s largely credited by the officials
to the fact that they Cancelled all their
contracts with private car lines which
are said to be unpopular with the Cali
fornia fruit growers, began building
their own cars and engaging in fruit
trade on their own account. At the
same time that the contracts referred
to were Cancelled the Southern Pacific
determined to follow the same course.
but later decided to renew the contract
with the Armour car line

STRONGEST EVIDENCE OF FAITH.
Geo. w. StansfieId Guarantees That
Hyomei Will Cure the Worst Case
CatarrF1 in Topeka.

When one of the most reputable con-
Germs in Topeka guarantees that a
medicine will effect a cure or he will
refund the money, it speaks volumes as
to the merits of that remedy 1t is in
this way that Geo. w. Stansheld is
selling Hyomei the trea tment that has
made so many remarkable cures of
both acute and chronic catarrh in To-
peka and vicinity.
Hyomei is not pill nor is it liquid
that has to be taken with a tablespoon
or wineglass. Just breathe it by the aid
of an inhaler that comes in every out
fit and heneSt will be seen from the
6rst treatment.
1t destroys all germ life in the air
passages and lungs and enriches and
purifies the blood with additional ozone.
It cures catarrh of the head and throat,
or of the stomach, liver and kidneys.
Whenever mucous membrane contains
its work of healing. When using this
treatment. the air you breathe will be
found like that on the mountains high
above the sea level. where grow bal
samic trees and plants which make the
air pure by giving off volatile antisep-
tic fragrance that is healing to the res
piratory organs.
A complete Hyomei outfit costs but
s1.00. and includes an inhaler, dropper
and sufficient Hyomei for several weeks
treatment
Remember that if Hyomei does not
cure you, Geo. w. Stansfield will re-
fund your money. This is a good time
to cure catarrh by this natural method
and prevent catarrhal colds that are
so common at this season,

WITHOUT TRAIN ORDERS.
Safer Now to Run Trains by the Ex-
elusive Block System.

In order to enhance safety in the oper-
aEion of trains in all parts of the coun-
Try the train rules committee of the
American Railway association is in ses-
SION in New York city and is considering
the advisability of recommending that
trains on all double track railroads be
operated without the old system of train
orders. The recommendation of the
committee, if made. win carry with IT
an additional recommendation for the
adoption of the block system of signal
ing on the ground that it adds largely to
the safety of train operation At the
1cle, the Burlington is the only road in
this section of the country to operate its
trains without train orders over any
considerable portion of its lines
This method is comparatively new in
this country, but it has been in use in
England for several years. It is pos
slble only on railroads which are pro-
yided with the block system operated
from telegraph towers. and as most of
the roads entering Chicago are equipped
with this system it is probable that the
recommendation OF the train rules com
mittee may be acted on favorably In the
near future. The simplicity of the sys-
tenn is urged as one of it's strongest
recommends lions.
AS carried on by the Burlington road
the train dispatcher starts the train
from the home station just as at pres
ent, but from that time until the train
reaches its destination the procedure is
entirely different from the old train or
der method of operation. As soon as
the train passes a signal tower the op-
orator at that point notifies the operator
at the next signal tower either by tele-
graph or electric bell signal and the
train dispatcher also is notified. The
latter also wires the man in the next
tower as a precautionary measure and
IL this manner the trains are kept NOV
ing as rapid Y as the blocks are clear
ed. In case of any extraordinary con-
dizion existing along the line the train
may be halted by the dispatcher and
tfa old form of train order given for
TIE guidance of the train crew.
The absence of train orders is said to
be a great advantage over the old sys-
tenn in that the engineer and the con-
dpctor are not burdened with orders
which often are misunderstood and re-
slzlt in accidents and delays. So long
a s the train crew obeys the signals dis
played from the block towers and the
operators report promptly the passing
Of a train the danger of accident is
said to De reduced to a minimum
The Burlington vas the first to
abolish the train order system and its
officials say they are we'll pleased with
the workings of the new method. On
the double track main line of the COM
pany west Of Chicago trains are OPP
Grated 306 miles without train orders
and the system has been extended TO
100 miles of single track between Gales
burg and Quincy
