HOW TO PRONOUNCE
NAMES OF THE ORIENT

The following key to the pronuncia-
tion of Japanese, Chinese and Korean
names was prepared Hajime
Ota, the Japanese worlds faircommis-
sioner: Japanese geographical names
are pronounced by Japanese with lit
tie accent as a rule The vowels are
ac long "e," '"i'' as short sc" so" gen.
orally as o. but someanmes as Jaw, y
and ~ as 'oo'
There is little shirring of sylables;
the divisions are distinct, and as a
1ule both the final letter of syllable
and the first letter Of the following
one retain their distinct pronunciation
This leads Americans frequently to
suppose that another sound has been
induced between the sylables. Take
the name Toxic" 1t is pronounced
"Tokyo"-the"o the first syllable
and the 'k' in the second being given
such individual pronunciation that
when spoken rapidly it sounds to the
unaccustomed ear much like the
"Toa-kyoh."
"F" is not spoken distinctly when

By Superstition the Gar Controls.
The Russian soldier is religious
fanantic, and in every peasants house
is picture of the virgin and the czar.
The czar is the head of the church
and it is th1ught religion and the
purely military government that he
controls the people. They worship
the czar, 50 to speak. The Russian
is taught to fear God, not to love
him.

DOUBLE TRACK THROUGHOUT.
Rock Islands st. Louis Chicago Line
to Be Opened April l.

Chicago, Feb. 24-Vice President
Wincheu Of the Rock Island-F'risco sys-
TEN expects that the new Chicago-St
Louis line of the Frisco or Chicago &
Eastern Illinois will be ready for bust
ness by April l. 1t will be double track
throughout, and it's condition and equip
ment will be such that fast service
could at once be esta blished over it.
During the Worlds fair season, how
ever, moderate speed will be maintained
by all lines.
The Rock Island, it is stated, will
build its own line between Houston and
Galveston. It was the original inten-
ton of the Rock Island to obtain an
entrance over the tracks of the Calves
ton, Houston & Northern railroad,
which is owned by the Southern Pacific,
but the Texas railroad commission
vetoed the proposition. President Loree
recently investigated the situation dur
ing a visit to Houston and Galveston.
The Rock Island secured terminals at
Galveston nearly a year ago, and is
ready to join with the Southern Pacific
in building a causeway across Calves
ton bay.

VERY 1MPoLIrE REQUEST.
Gov. La Toilette Wants Railroads to
Tell Who Holds Animals.

Madison, Wis, Feb. 24.-Railway
Commissioner John w. Thomas has sent
a letter to all the railway companies
having lines in the state demanding
that lists of free transportation furnish
ed by them to Wisconsin officials be
given as soon as possible to his office.
These letters for lists of free transporta-
ton were written by Mr.. Thomas under
the inspiration of Governor Robert NJ.
La Toilette, and were the result of the
exposures made in regard to the ac-
ceptance and use of free transportation
by assistants in the Office of the attor-
ney general. There is a law in the state
prohibiting the use of passes by all pub
lie officials. The law was framed by the
governor and the recent showing that
administration men have been using
passes caused a great sensation. The
governor is now trying to save himself
from blame by publishing complete
list of officials who violated the law, and
it is not improbable that he will ask
for their resignation. The railroads
who also violated the law by giving
passes are not likely to furnish the de-
sired information.

WORKING TOGETHER.
Gould Rock Island Frisco Combine
to Beat Southern Pacific.

Galveston, Tex. Feb. 24-President
George Gould and other officials of the
Gould Southwestern system spent the
morning in Galveston inspecting the port
and terminals, Mr.. Gould leaving for the
west with his two sons tonight. In con-
frming the report of the construction of a
line from Houston to Beaumont, parallel
ing the Southern Pacific, Mr.. Gould would
not admit that the project included an ex-
tension to New Orleans or the purchase
of several short lines to form link be-
tween Beaumont and the Crescent City.
He admitted that an east and west line
from Houston to New Orleans, with out
let's for the Gould lines at Galveston and
New Orleans, might be a good thing, but
would not confirm nor deny the report
The Gould and Rock Island-Frisco in
terests are contesting the Southern Paci-
lc's monopoly in the southwest and east
Texas and Louisiana, and it is accepted in
railroad circles that Mr.. Gould has plan
ned to parallel the Sunset from Houston
to New Orleans. Extension of the Inter-
national and Great Northern to Beau
mont would place the Gould lines in the
oil, lumber and rice regions with short
line outlets north and to either the ports
of Galveston and New Orleans. The sale
of a large piece of terminal property in
Beaumont a few days ago is credited to
the Gould interests.

EMBARGO ON FREIGHT.
Railroads Will Not Agree to Deliver
Goods to Korea or Siberia.

Northern transcontinental lines have
announced that they will not accept
freight for shipment to Korea and Siber-
ian points while the war between Japan
and Russia continues. An embargo was
issued today by the Great Northern and
the Northern Pacific instructing their
agents to refuse freight to any point in
Korea Siberia
The circular says the railroads in these
countries are in no position to accept
freight for shipments in the war zone.
Japan is not included in the restricted
district, and hence freight is being ae-
cepted for ports in the land of the rising
sun.
Railroad supplies and heavy machinery
are the principal shipments made to ST.
IBERIA and Korea" said the traffic mana
ger of one of the northern coast lines
while the war continues none of the
transcontinental lines viii attempt to
carry freight to the districts where the
war is being waged. The ports of Korea
and Siberia are bloekaded, but the Japa-
nese and Chinese ports are open. If the
blockade is extended it will cause a great
decrease in our eastern traffic, but the
embargo against shipment to Korea and
Siberia is not far-reaching.

However different observes may ac-
count for it, the fact remains that every
epidemic brings with it a fearful death
rate.
In speaking of the treatment of Ia.
grippe Dr.. S. B. Hartman, President OF
The Hartman Sanitarium at Columbus,
Ohio, says:
81 have long since passed through
what may be called the experiment
stage of the doctors history. In the
beginning of my medical career I, like
many other physicians, used many
drugs, but experience gradually taught
me which the reliable few were. Since
the epidemic of la grippe of 1860 have
used invariably in the treatment of
la grippe, Peruna- This remedy so ex-
actly meets all the symptoms of Ia
grippe that it is folly to lose any time in
experimenting with other remedies"
If you do not receive prompt and sat
isfactory results from the use of Peru

ing a full statement of your case, and
he will be pleased to give you his val
liable advice gratis.

ness on the part of the railroad com
pany stands on the same footing as

rendered was that of the Northern Pa

In 1898 Mr.. Adams was killed while

Frisco Said to Be After the San An
tonic and Arkansas Pass.

New York, Feb. 24.-President B. F.
Yoakum of the Frisco is in Texas and
his visit has been connected with the
report that the San Antonio and Ar
ansas Pass railroad had decided to
abandon its proposed line from Alice,
Texas, to Brownsville, paralleling a
road between two points which is I'M
der construction by the ST. Louis,
Brownsville and Mexico railroad. There
has been a lively contest between the
two roads to see which could first en-
ter Brownsville, $50 miles from Alice
and the Arkansas Pass has graded so
miles and laid II miles of track. 1t is
believed that as a result of President
Yoakum's visit the Arkansas Pass will
use the st. Louis, Brownsville & Mexico
line into Brownsville and that later 1t
may pass into the control of the Rock
Island system.
The Arkansas Pass road is the one of
which c. r. Hudson, formerly of To-
peka, is president.

THEY ACTUALLY
DO THE WORK.
Food Eaten Is Worthless Unless DE-
gested-Some Stomachs Must
Have Help.

Food taken into the stomach which,
from the nature of the food or the con-
dition of the stomach, IS not digesleu'
is worse than no food at all. This is q
true statement as far as it goes, and a
great many dyspeptics go only this 1ar
with their reasoning. They argue Win
themselves that because their ston-
achs do not do the work given tnem'
they must be given less work; in other
words they must be starved 1t Woulo
be Just as sensible for business man man
who is unable to do all his own work
to cut down his business TO MS own
capacity, as it is for man TO staIve
himself to relieve his stomach. me
sensible business man employs help
and goes forward with his business:
Likewise the sensible dyspeptic VIII
employ help for his stomach and give
his body proper nourlsnment;
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets actually
do the work assigned to them. They
relieve weak and overburdened stom-
achs of a great portion of digestive
action Their component parts are
identical with those OF the olgeselHs .
fluids and secretions of the stomach,
and they simply take up the grind ana
carry on the work just the same as a
good. strong, healthy stomach would
do it.
Tablets are perfectly natural in their
action and effects. They do not cause
any unnatural or violent disturbance
in the stomach or bowels. They them
selves digest the food and supply the
system with all the nourishment con-
tanned in what is eaten and carry OUT
Natures plans for the sustenance ana
maintenance of the body.
How much more sensible is TINS
method than that employed by many
sufferers from weak stomachs. By this
means the body and brain get all the
good, nutritious food they need and the
man is properly nourished and
equipped to carry on his work and per
form his duties. He could not POSSIBLY
be in proper working condition by
starving himself or employing some
new tangled, insufficient food that does
not contain enough nutriment for a
year-old baby. A strong man doing
strong work must be properly fed, and
this applies to the brain as well as the
body.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, by reliev-
ing the stomach of its work, enable it
to recuperate and regain it's normal
health and strength. Nature repairs
the worn and wasted tissues Just as
she heals and knits the bone of a
broken limb, which is of course not
used during the process of repair
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are for
sale by all druggists at so cents a box
and they are the one article that the
druggist does not try to sell something
in the place of that's Just as good.
Their unqualified merit and success
and the universal demand for them has
placed them within the reach of every
one.

The total length of the road including
branches will be 200 miles. The new
road will connect at Grin Junction with
the Chicago & Northwestern and Colo
