SANTA FE AT ARKANSAS CITY.
Rumored That Extensive Improve
ments Are Contemplated.

The coming year the Santa Fe will
likely make some very extensive inn
provements in it's holdings at Arkansas
City. Its terminal facilities are not
aoequate TO accommodate its increasing
business Every stall of the round-
mouse is occupied all of the time with
engines and frequently several Iocou1o-
t1Ves are compelled to stand outside on
the sidetracks.
There are 20 stalls in the roundhouse.
Ten of them few years ago aecommo-
dated all the engines in use on the Ok
lahoma division. Business grew and
more engines came until all the stalls
were in use for the locomotives except
Ing four which were used for the boiler
works. Since Mr.. Harrington was put
IN charge. business has been picking up
very extensively at the shops and
foundhouse. One reason is that Mr..
harrington is a man who increases bus
mesa and another is the Santa Fe is
giving more attention to its interests
at this point, which is due no doubt to
the kindly feeling possessed for this
city by the genial superintendent of
the Oklahoma division, H. A. Tice
MT Harrington has taken the boiler
works from the roundhouse and crowd
ed them into the machine shops and
arranged SO that the entire 20 stall
roundhouse can be used exclusively for
housing engines. This change is quite
valuable one for this point, and will
De the opening wedge for securing ten
stalls more, making a 30 stall round
house. If the company had it now ev-
cry stall would be in use.
We are informed upon good authority
that the officials have asked the com
pany for an appropriation for 1905 to
build ten more stalls to the roundhouse.
Also an appropriation for several other
buildings, Sidetracks, etc. All the i'm
provements asked for are badly need
ed.
During 1908 the general offices of the
Santa Fe, which have been in contem-
plation for year or more, will be built.
They will be located south of the depot
just across Fifth avenue.

come into their own in the case of
Rock Island. We have frequently
pointed out as one of the most potent
causes for the low price level in Rock
Island securities the fact that these is
sues were unsponsored, were not under
written, were not distributed through
the investment world by the usual ex-
elusive channels. Instead. they were
thrown upon the market, for the great
er part. and found the level that a
skeptical public assigned to them. The
Choctaw serials were an exception.
They were underwritten by Speyer x
Co, with the result that no one ever
hears of them. They went to people
who bought them because their bank
ers recommended them. and held them
because their bankers never said sell
From these considerations it is clear
that Rock Island, so far as finance is
concerned. has most of it's troubles be-
hind it. So far as the past is concern
ed the fact stands out that at this
moment the most rigid examination has
failed to deter Speyer & Co. from this

JAS. SPEYERS, PONSOI

Since James Speyer became director
of the Rock Island system a marked
change has taken place in public senti-
ment toward the securities of the road.
In discussing the matter the Wall
Street Journal says:
1.-The entrance of James Speyer as an
active member of the Rock Island ex-
ecutive marks the beginning Of a new
epoch in the affairs of the Rock Island
enterprises. 1t is the most notable
event, from a financial standpoint, that
has occurred in Rock Island affairs
since the purchase of St. Louis & San
Francisco. For the first time in it's
history, the new Rock Island consoli-
dalton is. to a certain extent, sponsored
in the investment world by a banking

and records made by one of the best

1t may be taken for granted that Jas

not be so loaned unless he had per

CHRISTMAS VACATION RATES.
Railroads Have Settled the Low Rate
Question for the Holidays.

The Santa Fe railroad has announced
the holiday excursion rates to be in eff
feet on that road. All railroads make
similar excursion rates.
Students and teachers who want to

provided it is not earlier than Decem-
Der 16. The minimum amount of any
one ticket will be one dollar. The dis
lance of the trip must be limited to
territory west of Pittsburg, and east
of the Rocky Mountains, and the final
return limit has been made January 8.
A rate of one fare plus so cents for
the round trip will be made for the
public from all points where a fare and
one-third will not amount to less than
one fare plus so cents. Minimum
amount of any single ticket must be 80
cents.

25 26 and 81. and on January 1 and 2.
The final return limit will be January

STARVED TO DEATH.

Our text today is the story of the
miser who taught his ass to live on
straw, of which he gave him a smaller
portion every day
Just as the miser had got him so
trained as to eat one straw a day-the
poor ass died.
He is an ass who starves himself to
death-as thousands are doing, misled
by foolish teachers-because their
stomachs have become too weak.
through neglect or disease, to do the
work which nature has provided for
their stomachs to do.
Because the engine is out of gear
would you consign it to the junk
heap?
Why, no. Mend it,
Commit slow suicide because your
digestive organs leak?
Certainly noti Take Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets.
One thing is sure as shooting.
You can never get a new stomach.
You must mend it, or it will lead
you a miserable existence
The only way to mend it is to take
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets.
This has been practically and scien-
tifcally demonstrated by the many
thousands whom Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets have positively cured, after
every other treatment of medicine,
mineral waters, pills, and slow sui
cidal starvation, had failed.
These methods are all unscieutific-
therefore false
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets are sci
entific-therefore true, and successful
Having cured SO many thousands
many of whom doubtless have suf-
fered more than you do-do we claim
too much when we say that Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets will surely do good
for you?
Surely not.
Especially when we make it plain
that no promise is made to cure more
than one disease-Dyspep sia.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are a
positive cure for just this one dis
ease.
They are a scientific ombination of
ingredients which search out the weak
spots in all the digestive organs and
make them strong and well.
They have an immediate digestive
action on undigested food, and thus,
lille curing weak organs, they at the
same time help them to do their work.
They thus stand for all that is good
in the medical treatment of Dyspepsia,
and for nothing that is bad.
They are not a fad but a fact.
They are safe, pleasant, certain and
permanent, and can be taken by the
most delicate invaHds without fear OF
harmful results.

Members of the Kansas delegation said
today that the suggestion that the gov

selected to deliver an Grafton on the pub
lie service of Senator Ingalls, at the GER
emonies evidently had come from some
one who was uniformed to the nature
of these ceremonies. Attention was called
to the fact that statue is accepted by
the adoption of a joint resolution, which
is placed before the house and senate for
discussion before the vote is taken, and
it is in every respect essentially con-

RETURNED THE MONEY.
Santa Fee Conductor Has Made On
Friend

Conductor Glazier of the Santa Fe
has made one lifelong friend at least,
says the Wichita Eagle. A few days
ago a lady was coming to Wichita
on his train and wnen she got off
here she left her purse, containing $40
in money and several large checks, in
the train. Mr.. Glazier found it and
when he passed through here the next
day he sent the purse 10 the woman.
She was more than delighted, and
said that she never expected to get
the purse, but was glad to learn that
there was at least one honest railroad
man in the world.
