The RAILROADS
Officers Tell Why Building
Has Fallen Off
EVERYTHING COSTS MORE
Items of Interest About Differ

EVERYTHING COSTS MORE

In explaining the reason why railroad
building has fallen off considerably so far
this year, as compared with last. the
president of one OF the larger systems
says:
The railroads are using pretty nearly
a normal amount of rails and other ma
terial, although me total does not nearly
approximate that of the last three or four
abnormal years. In the depression Of 1885,
IS most OF the railroads cut off equipment
and construction and even maintenance
as much as possible. and as one result OF
this there has been for three years a ire
mcndous struggle to get up with the
situation.
1t is ray opinion that the railroads of
this country must face the proposition of
larger operating expenses. There are at
least three main facts to explain why
this must be 50. First, the higher wage
schedules; second. the congestion of traf-
iic; third, the higher cost Of materials.
y have every reason to believe that
railway traffic will keep up. The traffic
now is ahead of equipment facilities OH
pItCtICdlIg every important TOdu III TINS
country. For four years now the rail-
roads have been under tremendous pres
sure tryins 10 keep equipment up TO traf-
fic requirements. but they have not been
able TO do so
This being an admitted fact, most peo-
pie would think the present an opportune
time to build new roads. If the present
railroad syste mis- inadequate to carry the
traffic, why should not new lines pay. and
why arc not more new lines under con-
struction?
THAT can best be answered by an ac-
tuaI experience. y railroad president a
short time since had q proposed new lire
surveyed. 1t was to run through an open
country, of easy grades and with no
costly excavations or fills. The survey
was made and the plans drawn for a
gravel roadbed. oak ties and s5-pound
steel rails The estimate of cost was
$37. 900 a mile.
That road is not built yet, and prob
ably won't be built until wages, cost of
material, etc. are considerably lower than
they are now. If it is going to cost $35-
900 a mile to build a road through an
open country, what will it cost by the
time terminals and equipment are in
cluded, and how can the road be used to
make a profit in the per mile cost?"

DEACON WILSON'S LUCK.
He Caehes Checks Drawn on John D

He Cashes Checks Drawn on John D.
RockefelIer's Account.
The first John D. Rockefeller checks.
in payment for Kansas oil, that have
ever been presented at the banks in this
city. were brought in by d. y. Wilson
yesterday from Peru. Kan. The checks
amount to s.. 800. 90. being the output of
the oil wells operated by Deacon Will
sons company near Peru, Kan, for the
month Of February.
Mr. Wilson said that the output from
their wells for March would be greater
than that Of February, as they, nave at
present 1900 barrels of oil on hand in
the tanks on the grounds at Peru and
are turning out 10 barrels day.
I'VE have five wells in operation to-
day" said Mr.. Wilson, and three more
are going down in the richest portion of
the district. We expect great things
from these three new wells. which we
hope to have in operation in a short time.
These checks which / have with me today
represent the February supply only, and
we know for a certainty that the March
supply viii exceed that of last month, as
we have 1.5G0 barrels now on hand and
five wells in operation, turning out 150
barrels q day
Mr.. Wilson expects to return to Peru
the first OF next week, where he is act
ing manager for the company. More or
less hot air is usually thought to attend
oil or gas stories, but when documentary
evidence, such as Mr.. Wilson carried with
him yesterday, is introduced. no stronger
or more conclusive proof could be offered,
and the comptny are congratulating
Themselves on their luck.

GRADE OF ORIENT.
StiiwelI Says Over $19,0oO,0O0 Has
Been Secured

A Fort Worth paper says of the Orient:
President \. z. Stilwell of the Kansas
City, Mexico and Orient and party are
making a trip over the line. He is ac-
oompanied by Vice President Braith-
waite and P. d. Tucker of London; DR.
Leo II. Backeland. Alexander II. Ruth

and c. W. whitehead. d j. Huff and
Edwin Dickson Of Kansas City Presi-
dent Stilwen says there is plenty Of
money available to construct the road
the estimated cost of which is S2f.OG0.00o
and of this sum s1S1O0. 900 has already
been secured. All the work thus far &C
comphshed has been done without the
sale OF a single bond, or the placing Of
n mortgage. BY the terms of contract
the Hamburg American line will furnish
n steamer service between Topolobampo
and the far east. In addition to this.
their boats from Central and South
America will call at the Orient's Pacific
terminals to unload and take on freight
and passengers. There is also a service
contemplated to and from Australia.
1T is hoped that the maximum grade
Of the Orient viii be as low as . per
cent. To start with, it viii not exceed
21a per cent The heaviest grade IS en-
counteTed in the mountains west Of Chi

ONLY A SUGGESTION
But It Has Proven of Interest and
Value to Thousands. .

Common sense would suggest that if one
wishes to become feshy and plump it can
only result from the food we eat and
digest and that food should be albumin
Gus or flesh forming food, like eggs, beef
steak and cereals; in other words the
kinds of foods that make flesh are the
foods which form the greater part of our
daily bills of fare.
But the trouble is that while we eat
enough and generally too much. the stom-
ach, from abuse and overwork, does not
properly digest and assimilate it, which
is the reason so many people remain thin
and under weight; the digestive organs
do not completely digest the flesh forming
beefsteak and eggs and similar wholesome
food
There are thousands Of such who are
really confirmed dyspeptics, although
they may have no particular pain or in
convenience from their stomachs.
If such persons would lay their preju-
dice aside and make a regular practice of
taking after each meal, one or two of
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets the food would
be quickly and thoroughly digested, be
cause these tablets contain the natural
peptones and diastase which every weak
stomach lacks and by supplying this want
the stomach is soon enabled to regain its
natural tone and vigor.
Stuarfs Dyspepsia Tablets digest every
form of flesh forming food, meat, eggs,
bread and potatoes and this is the reason
they so quickly build up. strengthen and
invigorate thin, dyspeptic men. women
and children.
Invalids and children, even the most
delicate, use them with marked benefit
as they contain no strong, irritating
drugs. no cathartic nor any harmful
ingredient.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is the most
and most widely known of
any remedy for stomach troubles because
it is the most reasonable and scientific
Of modern medicines.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are sold by
every druggist in the United States and
Canada as well as In Great Britain, at
so cents for complete treatment Il
Nothing further is required to cure any
stomach trouble or to make thin. nervous
dyspepsia people strong, plump and well.
