MEAN TRICK.
Emporia Boy Wants the Locomotives
to Play Fair.

The other day an Emporia railroad
man was going home and overheard
the innocent remark of a little 5-year-
old boy that is somewhat descriptive
of the differences in the sizes of the
engines now in use, says the Emporia
Gazette. The engines go around the
wye in twos and threes. and as many
as are ready to couple together are
taken around The little boy was
watching a string of engines go past
east. The two front engines were
headed east and We're immense Prairie
type engines of the 1000 class. The
third engine was the little 046, the
Howard branch engine, which looks
like a toy alongside the big COM
pounds. The tender of the 046 was
coupled on to the big engine next to
1t. The small boy watched the engines
for block or two and then remarked:

SENT MONEY AND ADVICE.
Conscience Stricken Traveller Is Pre-
pairing for the Hereafter.

Every railroad has a fund which is
called the conscience fund.- because it
is made up of money which is sent the
company by people who have been
guilty of fraud. In the majority of cases
no name is signed to the letter inclos-
ing the check. money order, or other
form Of remittance. Frequently, how
ever, these missives not only contain
money but also good advice.
W. H. James of Council Bluffs, Iowa,
is the writer of a letter of the latter
kind. His letter was sent to the pas
senger department of the Santa F'e rail-
road, and is forceful enough to speak

The congestion may occur in the mu-

bronchial tubes, stomach, bowels, kid

Whenever it occurs it produces the

All that is claimed for Peruna is
that it cures catarrh wherever located
by it's action on the vaso-motor sys-

that phase of catarrh called catarrhal

Railways Responsible for the Death
of 1858 Persons in 1908.

Washington, Nov. 1.-THE Interstate
Commerce Commission has issued a
bulletin, showing an increase in the
number of casualties during the fiscal
year closed June 80 last, as compared
with the previous fiscal year.
There were g. 553 persons killed and
45, 997 injured during the year, against
2,S19 killed and Sc, 500 injured the year
before. The last increase is partially
attributed to the gain in the railroad

employed in train service. 1t also is
pointed out that accidents are now be-
ing much more fully reported.

The nervous system is the source of
all our bodily powers, mental or phys
ical.
The brain and spinal cord generate
the power and the nerve f1bres convey
the power to every part of the body.
It Is the nerves that give the heart
power to beat; it is the nerves that
give the arteries the power to contract,
and thus regulate the flow of blood
through them.
Each artery is provided with an elias
tic or muscular coat.which is capable of
contra citing or expanding so as to per-
NIT more or less blood to pass through,
according to the needs of the body.
When the nerves are paralyzed or
weakened this contracting power of
the blood vessels is wholly or partly
destroyed.
This produces congestion, especially
of the mucous membrane lining the
various organs of the body.

Every effort has been made by the
government of the United States to per-

which was essentially not only to our
interests and to the interests of the
world, but to the interests of CoIonl-
bia itself. These efforts have failed,
and Colombia, by her segsis Hnce III re-
pulsing the advances tllat have been
made, has forced us for the sake Of
our own honor and of the interest and
well being not merely Of our own peo-
pie. but of the people of the isthmus of
Panama and the people of the civilized
countries of the world to take decisive
steps to bring to an end condition Of
affairs which had become intolerable.
The new republic Of Panama immedi-
ately offered to negotiate treaty with
us. This treaty herewith submit.
BY it our interests are better safeguard

which was ratified by the senate at its

than the treaties offered to us by the.

At last the right to begin this great
undertaking is made available. Pam
