with questionable transactions on the
part of lines which have pledged
themselves to connections and com
petitors as well, to afford proper pro-
lection to their passenger revenue,
have already resulted in material loss
to the carriers generally and in profit
and encouragement for the ticket
scalpers.
The efforts of lines which in good
faith have observed their agreements
in this respect have resulted in loss
to them and those who. in an earnest
and sincere endeaVor to protect reve-
nue. and prevent fraudulent traffic in
the tickets, have become discouraged
at the too evident bad faith and dis
regard of covenants on the part of
some of those to whom they looked
for support and encourag cement in
this position.
It is hoped, therefore, that before it
is too late the evils pointed out shall
be remedied and the threatening de-
moralization obviated which other
wise must follow a continuance of the
present loose and reprehensible
methods.

COFFEE CATARRH
An unsupported Cause.

It is curious how many diseases
come from a disordered nervous sys-
tenn which locates disease in some
part of the body and the primary
cause can often be traced to coffee,
which first breaks down the nervous
system. A Georgian says:
There is no doubt coffee gave me
nasal catarrh. The ceptin in my nose
was all gone and the catarrh was eat
ing its way, getting hold of the main
bone of the nose. 1t also affected my
sight very much.

after I quit coffee and used Postum

entirely by changing from coffee to
Postum. The rest of my family took
up the new drink and Postum relieved
my wife and little boy of frequent
headaches and what is called coffee

Railroads Make Secret Deals With
Ticket ScaIpers.

Ticket ScaIpers.
The Railway Protective bureau has
made the discovery that many rail-
roads throughout the country are
dealing with ticket scalpers in con-
necuOn with transp ortatiOn to the st.
Louis exposition. The condition of
affairs has greatly alarmed the Off
Gals Of the bureau. who have accord
ingIy issued the following circular:
In consequence of the irregularities
frequently disclosed attending the is
sue of the Louisiana Purchase expOsi-
ton tickets to St. Louis, by reason of
failure uniformly to require the con-
tracts properly and legally to be filled
IN with the date. description, sigma
lures Of original purchaser, ETC., I'M
lawful traffic in these tickets has been
rendered easy, and the legal steps
which have been taken for the pro-
lection of them have been endangered
by the departures from the provisions
of the ticket contracts, which were
recognized as the basis of the apph-
cations for injunctive orders.
1t was represented to the courts
and accepted by them that the pro-
tective features of the tickets. which
had been universally adopted, were
designed to guard the lines against
the illegal use of them. The courts
accepted these features as proper and
reasonable and have prohibited the
fraudulent representation which their
transfer to other than the original
purchaser involves If, therefore, the
lines refuse to avail themselves of
these projections by issuing the tick
cts in blank or by negligent execution
of the contracts, they are in contempt
of the tribunals of whom they have
asked protection and redress, and
have nullified the efforts of the courts

USES Sky AS A MIRROR.
Former Wichita Man Has almost
Perfected,' a NIirageoscope.

Rer1ecte0' N11raSeOScOpe.
Sherman NJ. Hobson, a state agent
for the Colorado Humane society, is in
Wichita. He formerly lived in that
city long ago, from 1874 until 1880. In
addition to his duties as an officer of
the humane society, Mr.. Hobson has
found time to invent a mirageoscope, q
cOntrivance with which trains are
equipped to prevent wrecks.
The principle upon which the mirage
oscOpe works is from reflections cast
into it from the skies. Mr.. Hobson has
invented his cOntriVance on the theory
that the sky forms a mirror. Thus the
same view that is reflected in the sky
appears in the mirageoscope.
Mr.. HObSOn says that a manipulation
of the mia geOScOpe may see the entire
country within a radius Of six miles
from his position. For instance, if he
were on a train he might see a bridge
that had been washed out in the dis
lance Thus the train could be brought
to a standstin and a wreck prevented.
In addition to preventing railroad
wrecks, Mr.. HObSOn says his invention
can be used by army officials in dis
covering the whereabouts of the enemy
and their exact location. 1t can also
be used by civil engineers and in fact
by any one.
Mr.. Hobson has been working on the
invention for years. Although he has
not yet gotten it to an exact state of
perfection, he expects to have it thus
in a short time, when he will apply for
a patent on the device.
Mr.. Hobson says he has already been
the means of preventing numerous
wrecks while travelling at times when
he carried the mirageoscope with him.
He once captured a bridge burner while
in the act~of setting fire to a wooden
structure Again he was the means of
the Denver e Rio Grande railroad
catching a train wrecker.

AFTER PERE MARQUETTE.
Rock Island Said to Be Taking a
Hand in Negotiations

Chicago, June 27.-Recent Wall street
rumors have connected the Chicago,
Rock Island & Pacific interests with the
plans for the expansion and develop
ment of the Pere Marquette railroad.
Surprise has been occasioned by the
disclosure of the fact that the Frisco
and Seaboard Air lines interests are
taking a hand in the formation of the
new Pere Marquette system. Inasmuch
as the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific
people own the ST. Louis & San Fran
cisco, and also a, large share of the
Seaboard Air line, it is thought possible
that the organization of his new middle
West trunk line, of which the Pere Mar
quette is the backbone, may be part of
the extensive scheme of railroad con-
soIidation planned by the Moores, d. G.
Reid and w. B. Leeds.
