NEWS FROM ALL
THE RAILROADS
Missouri Pacific Moved Ten
Million Pounds of Freight
IN MONTH OF DECEMBER
Minor Items About the Many
Employees.

Ten million pounds OF freight were sent
out from the Missouri Pacific depot dur
ing the month Of December. During the
year of 1903, 10000 car loads were sent
out, which means that 1900 900. 900 pounds
OF mercha ndise was shipped out Of Wich-
ita over this one line alone, besides a
large amount shipped in.
These figures go to show that the
wholesale houses Of Wichita are alive
and that some good business was done in
the past year.
The increase in out tonnage In 1903 over
the year of 1902 is estimated at 255 per
cent; the incoming tonnage has also
been increased TO about the same extent.
This department Of the Missouri Pacific
has about twenty employees who are con-
stantly rushed, and this year will see
more men added IN order to handle the
increasing freight traffic.
Freight Agent Mann said: II believe
our business will increase In. 1904 fully IS
per cent. Our business last year was
something phenomenal. It was really be-
yond expectations"

WOMAN HAS TO Be
DIVORCED TWICE
Peculiar Case of Mrs. Gather
inc Wesley.
ERROR OCCURRED IN PAPER
Name Read Edward Instead of
Edmond.
ERROR OCCURRED IN PAPER

Owing to slight typographical error
which occurred In a newspaper publica-
ton Of divorce, Mrs. Catherine Wesley
is compelled to procure a second divorce
from Edmond T. Wesley.
Prior to her marriage with Edmond
Wesley she was the widow Of Andrew J.
Weeks, soldier in The civil war. and
was drawing widows pension. In 1886
she vas married to Edmond Wesley. who
deserted her on October 4, 1879, and left
her to take care OF ana raise her chill
dren. In 1901 a law was passed whereby
all widows OF soldiers who had remarked
might have their pensions restored. pro-
vided their second husbands had died or
had been divorced through no fault Of
theirs.
Mrs. Wesley at once applied for a d.
vorce, which was granted. She then made
application to The pension department.,
but they rejected the application owing
to the fact that In the notice of the d.
vorce as published her husbands name
was spelled Edward" instead Of ed
mond" Wesley. The pension department
thereupon rejected the application. as
they claimed that she had got a divorce
from the wrong man. Had the divorce
been considered legal by them she would
have received back pension amounting
to over $500, but as the case now stands
IT Is necessary for her to procure another
divorce. and after six months make an
other application for . pension. She win
not receive the back pension that she
would have received had her first divorce
been accepted by the pension department.
The petition for her second divorce was
filed yesterday In the district court.

The story of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
can be told In a word. They actually do
the work that the weak and wasted ston-

do, and they digest the food just as
