There are a great many people who

tarrh of some internal organ who
have not the slightest suspicion that
they are victims of this universal dis

This is especially true in cases of
chronic catarrh of the organs in the
lower part of the abdomen or pelvic

There are a multitude of women,
especially housewives, and all other

NOT HURT BY FLOODS.
Santa Fe Damage This Year VIII Be
insignificant

Chicago, June 14--According to
reports received by Santa Fe officials
that road has suffered little damage
from floods. There has been an ex-
cess of rainfall which caused trouble.
impeding traffic to some extent, but
this is thing of the past and there is
now no reason to apprehend further
trouble.
In June last year flood troubles not
only restricted the volume of business
but were responsible for an increase
of $6S4,OOO in operating expenses as
compared with June. 1902, so that
net showed a decrease of S643, 800.
This leaves room for a showing very
much better for the current month
than for June year ago, and 1t is al
together likely that May and June
will add some hundreds of thousands
to the increased surplus shown so far
for the present fiscal year. AS the
road earned per cent on its common
stock last year and indications favor
net earnings larger this year by
about 100000 than those for 1903,
it is likely that even after allowing
for net increase of about $250,0OO
in interest charges, earnings for the
common will be at least as high as 8
per cent.

100000 Is Due ORIENT.
First 100 Kilos in Nexico Have Been
Completed.

Edward Dickinson. third vice president
ana general manager of the Kansas City,
Mexico and Orient railroad says that a
report received from J. L. Case, in charge
OF the conpany'S construction work in
Mexico, stated that the first 100 kilos of
track would be completed to Ell F'uerte
today. AS soon as the inspector for the
government Of Mexico inspects 1t the sub
sidy. amounting to 10000 Mexican dollars,
would be given the company. It will be
used In the construction of the line fur
Their east.
The construction began at Port Still
tends to Ell Fuerte, at the base of the
Sierra Madras mountains. These noun
tains are so hard to cut through that it
will take probably two years and half
to extend the line over them. In the
meantime trains will be operated between
Ell Fuerte and the coast.
The company has track rights over the
Chihuahua and Pacific and a privilege to
purchase it. This line extends rs miles
west, from Chihuahua to Mexico. The
grading from Minacco westward 100 kilos,
to Bacoyne will be finished by March l.
and then as soon as tracks can be laid
the road will be operated from Chihuahua
to that point. The mountains lie between
Bacoyna and Ell F>uerte. Contracts have
been let for the construction of the road
eastward from Chihuahua 112 kilos, and
here it will join the line from the United

Fairview, Ok. and it is expected that
cars will be running to Sweetwater Tex

grading has been made between here and

ENORMOUS TIE CONTRACT.
British Government VIII Buy Ties
for Africa in America.

John H. Kirby, the Texas lumber king,
has gone to New York He states that the
British government will build 10000 miles
of railroad through the Dark Continent
carrying out the long cherished scheme
of Cecil Rhodes. The cross ties for the
road. he says, will have to come from
the south and principally from Texas.
The British government has long held
this plan It was delayed for a while
BY the labor situation. but the officials
in charge brought over $4,000 Chinese ia
borers from China and 5oo.e0e cody Ia
borers from India, making !, Geo, 600 labor
ers altogether These laborers are to be
returned home at the end Of three years,
because the British government does not
desire repetition in South Africa OF the
troubles we have had with the Chinese in
California. The cross ties required in the
construction of this great railroad must
come from America, and the south is the
only portion OF the country in position
to furnish the cross ties. Whether our
Texas mills will get It or not, it must go
to the southern states. A contract of
such proportions as this will take all the
yellow pine mills in all the southern
states ali their time to fill. The contract
is bound to be awarded in 1904 and it is
sure to come to America, for no other
country can supply yellow pine in suffi-
cient quantities..
