reply to a question of Commissioners
Prouty the witness said there were
other wholesale coal dealers IN Cnl-
cago,. but he could not recall the
names of them. The witness said he
never agreed upon any price for coal
He had his instructions from his su-
perior at Philadelphia and did not

said, that the 1900 or 1900 retail coal
dealers in Chicago charged UNIFORM
prices. He believed the retail price
always is one dollar in excess of the
wholesale prices
Mr.. Shearn then questioned the wit
ness in relation to a resolution which
had been passed at meeting OF
wholesalers in Chicago, permitting
certain dealer to sell damaged coal at
a reduction. E.. J. Platt, general sales

attended some of the meetings OF the
wholesale coal dealers and was not
agent for a coal company of Chicago

did not know who had sent the pa

Now Getting in Shape for Game With
Ottawa.

Lawrence, Kan, Oct. 25.-According
to Coach Herrnstein and his Indian
pupils the score of 4 to in favor of
Haskell does not tell the story of the
Texas game which the aborigines won.
The red men say the, ball was in Has
kell'S possession most of the time, and
that there were only a few minutes
during the game when the Texans had
the pigskin. The long trip had a bad
effect upon the Indians. and Coach
Herrnstein said today that they did
not play the game that the season had
put them in form to play.
AS a whole the Haskell men are in
good condition, and work has been re-
sumed on Haskell field in preparation
for the game with Ottawa university
next Monday. Pete McCay was absent
on account of a broken nose which
was a result of the Texas game. Nc
Cay was sub half and did pretty work
while in the game. He may play in
the Nebraska game at Kansas City
November II.
The Ottawa game is looked upon
here as simply a practice game for
Haskell, and the Indians will doubtless
run up a large score on the Baptists.
Coach Herrnstein refuses to talk much
about the Ottawa game. 1t seems part
of the system of coaching with all
Michigan men to keep mum" before
the game, no matter what kind of team
the Michigan mans pupils are going
against.

KANSAS CEMENT INDUSTRY.
1t Is Daily Growing in Size and
Importance.

Independence. Kan, Oct. 25.-Work
on the cement plant in this city is
moving forward with gratifying prog
reSS and in a few months one of the
largest factories for the manufacture
of Portland cement in the state will
be in operation in this city. This is
only one illustration of the wonderful
changes taking place in Kansas as a
result of the discovery of gas. Here
tofore Kansas was regarded as purely
an agricultural state; it was not
thought it possessed any mineral
wealth, and that it might ever become
a manufacturing center was not
dreamed of. But it is fast becoming
both a mineral producing and manu-
featuring state and at no far distant
date it will rank among the first in this
respect.
And Independence is going to be one
of the greatest manufacturing centers
in the state. because it has the greatest
gas supply. The cement plant is only
a suggestion of the future Independ-
ence is a good town to tie to.
For several decades the pioneer set
tiers actually believed that the mining
products of their new empire would
never amount to anything beyond sat
isfying the needs of the local stone and
brick mason. The discovery of coal
was greeted with delight, but doubts
were expressed that the Kansas output
would ever amount to much. When
salt was found we hardly believed that
the beds of the state could ever meet
plains. When lead and zinc were dis
covered our biologists told us that the
find would probably not amount
much. a dozen years ago the total
annual output of mineral products
amounted to less than ten million dol

HASKELL SECONDS WON.
Defeated College of Emporia in a
Close Game.

Emporia, Kan, Oct. 25.-The college
football, team was defeated here Mon
day afternoon by the Haskell second
team by a score of Is to 10. The game
was interesting from start to finish, the
Indians having the best of it during
the most of the first half, but being out
played throughout the second half.
Two fumbles at critical moments al
lowed the Indians to score twice dur
ing the early part of the first half, af-
ter which the college braced up and
played good ball. The star playing for
the college was done by Simpson, Mar
pie and Edison, while Lamont and
Packhorse won the honors for the Wis
itors. The college was weakened by the
loss of Kirk and Emery who were both
out on account of back work. The game

The NERVOUS" Condition.


The term nervous" is broad term used to
denote diseased condition of the nerves that is
very common. The disease IS debility or weak
ness that affects especially the nervous system.
There may be Well-deflned trouble, yet those
who suffer with nervousness will complain OF
many things, mental depression, inability to rest
well, twitching, aching limbs and hundreds OF
nervous disorders. Sleep is not refreshing and
the patient wakes up tired. Although the lungs,
heart, liver and kidneys are sound, yet there
seems to be serious disease in these vital organs.
and sufferers with weak nerves feel that all theiE
physical powers are falling.
Nervousness is wholly the result of wear and
tear of the nervous system, caused by irregular
habits, ng-contipued anxiety or worry, too great
business responsibility, and any cause which tends
to diminish the vgor of the body.
The beautiful delcacy of the nervous system
can be appreciated when it Is considered that the
nerve fbres do not exceed one-hfteen-hundredth
of an inch in diameter.
Each of these nerve fbres proceeds from the
nerve centre with which it is connected to the
point at which it terminates without uniting with
any other
So delicate is the structure and so intimately
associated its parts, that the nervous system
can be deranged easily, and diseased or weakened.
Often sufferers from nervousness do not
realize that their nerves need nourishlna
and strengthening. They walt and hope

the nerves back to their healthy condition-to put

Independent Drainage Basins.
There are three streams within the
territory that are not directly tribu-
ltary to any LARGER stream and hence
are classed as independent. OF the
drainage basins OF these streams
that Of the Rio Mimbres is the most
extensive. II comprises about 1900.
square miles in the southwestern por-
ltion OF the territory. The Fresno and
,Tularosa rivers drain the western
slopes Of the Sierra Blanco and Sacra-
mento mountains, which lie between
the Rio Grande and Pecos rivers In the
southern part Of the territoy.
In 1902 water from all sources in
these several independent drainage
basins irrigated S.355 acres belonging
to 1926 farms. The AZ systems, includ-
ing 100 miles OF main canals and
bitches, cost s126,550. an average OF
