Says Santa Fe Foreman Failed to
Pay $117.2O Board.

The Emporia Gazette says: w. G..
Jones, a farmer living about six miles
south Of town, has, through his attor-
ney, ]. G. Hutchinson, filed suit for the
recovery of big board bill. Mr.. Jones
boarded section hands who were at
work on the Howard branch under the
foreman John Fogelberg. Fogelberg
was made defendant in the case and the
amount sued for was $117.20, at sixteen
and two-thirds cents meal. Some men
roomed at Jones'. One of the men
charged with the bill was John Heating
who went to sleep on the Howard
branch track a. few weeks ago and new
er woke up. Before Heating was killed
he had thirty-three meals unpaid 1t
appears that the foreman was paying
the bills for the gang. The bill Of

Chicago, Nov. 24.-The rates on flour
from Kansas City to the gulf ports are
in thoroughly demoralized condition,

lions of the interstate commerce act.
The Santa Fe, Rock Island and Mis-
souri, Pacific have withdrawn from the
flour rate agreement, and it is said that
almost any rate applies. It is charged
that the trouble started with the Mis-
souri, Pacific, which, however, denies
responsibility for the situation.

Catarrh of the Stomach is Generally

This Deranges the System So That

The only rational way to cure dys-
pepsia is to remove the catarrh. Peru
ma cures catarrh. Peruna does not
produce artificial digestion. 1t cures
catarrh and leaves the stomach to per-
form digestion in a natural way. This
is vastly better and safer than resort

Peruna has cured more cases of dys-

method of breathing it into the air
passages and lungs. 1t kills the germs
of catarrhal poison, heals and soothes
the irritated mucous membrane, enters
the blood with the oxygen and kills the
germs present there, effectually driving
this disease from the system.
The complete Hyomei outfit costs but
81 90 and comprises an inhaler, a bottle
of Hyomei and a dropper- The lnhaler
will last a lifetime; and additional bot
ties of Eyornei can be obtained for 5Oc.
If YOU have any of the following
SYMPTOMS, catarrhal germs are at work
somewhere in the mucous membrane OF
the nose, throat, bronchial TUBES or us
sues of the lungs.
oTrensive breath huskiness of voice
drvness of the nose ol S..lo &c Ai0A INC

OIL DEvELO PMENTs
THE OIL MARKET.

Judging from reports there Is a
decided falling off In field oper.
atoms and the recent slump In
prices will not add to the energy OF
producers. There Is the least encor-
agement to drill under present
prices and conditions than has
existed In many years. This Is a time
when conditions should have an In
fluence on work and prices, but the
latter are kept at level where 1t Is
expected there will be great deal
of drilling. provided producers are
foolish enough to think they can
work with profits.
It will be noticed that the older
and more conservative producers
are playing waiting game which
seems entirely consistent with the
situation. If prices are not to be
paid and will at any time when the
caprice may sieze the manipulators,
be subjected to cut, then what Is
the use of trying to figure
anything with relation to how pro-
ducers will stand Territory y
scarcer and OF comparatively
small calibre while the prices
for material are maintained
at q high level. If the
Standard make further cuts In
prices which Is not improbable
there will be a decrease In new
work In all except the most prolific
territory. 81 50 per barrel will not
cause an increase In deep sand ter
rltory where wells cost upwards OF
SO, 900 and average about IS
barrels on their completion. There
Is no use In drilling under the I'm.
certanties of the Standard manipu-
lation of prices.

UTAH AND HER PEOPLE"


A very neat, interesting and lnstruo.
tive brochure has been published with
the above title by the Bureau Of Infor-
nation. II gives particulars that are
usually sought for by visitors to our
city, and some figures and statistics
that will greatly aid our friends in am
swerlng questions that may be pro-
pounded by tourists and other inqur-
ers. The opening article by Fisher
Harris OF the Commercial club, on salt
Lake city, is Of itself an epitome OF in
formation that liz valuable and inter-
estng, while the other divisions Of the
work are each commendable and brim-
full of points that win be found exceed
ingly useful, The cuts are finely exc
cuted, and while more details might
have been given on some matters
touched upon, the aim OF the pamphlet
Is reached, namely to touch briefly on
those particulars concerning our city
and our people, that viii suffice to meet
general inquiries The Bureau of In
formation Is doing a splendid gratul-
tous work, and the Issuing Of this pref
~ brochure for gratuitous distribution
Is happy thought that has found ex-
eellent expression. Travellers tourists
and inquirers viii find in the Bureau OF

that which they desire in seeking for
explanation Of the principles Of Nor

and attractions OF the State of Utah.

IN COLOMBIA.

A Boston merchant, who has lived
In Colombia for many years, and who
has business interests In that country,
explains In an interview In the Bos-
ton Transcript, the political situation
IN the Central American republic, and
declares that a great many of the CO.
lombans are looking to the United
states for relief from an intolerable
condition. The interview Is interest
ing, because Of the recent effort on the
part OF the United States to obtain
concessions for the completion Of the
Panama canal 1t shows that without
complete control, no country can un-
dertake that gigantic enterprise.
The Boston merchant explains that
there Is not in Colombia any guarantee
OF social order, and no sustained ex-
preston OF organic government. TT
Is, he says, 'the ordinary fact when a
revolution breaks out for men armed
with rifles to come to your house and
by force Of arms take anything or all
YOU have as they need or imagine they
need It, You have no recourse az the
time, no police protection of any kind.

reason to believe that your visitors are

forward It to your minister to the

document Is sent TO Washington. and
after a long, weary, three months OF

that while It regrets the incident, the
Colombian government cannot under the
circumstances, consider itself response

unrecognlzed administration.

ditions Of government no investment
can be made except under sufficient

the race takes place, II VIII certainly
excite universal interest II IS quite
possible that Sir Thomas thinks that
the American boat builders would be
outdone IN such n contest, but the prob
ability is that the designer who knows
how to construct mere racing ma
chine, would also know how TO give the
maximum speed to sea-going vessel.
And a contest which would necessarily
direct the attention Of the great genius
es OF the world in this line, to the
building Of speedy ships, would be OF
immense practical value to the mer-
chant marine OF all countries. The
same cannot be said Of the contests be-
tween the expensive toys that have
been played with for the Americas
