miie-long turnpike had cost"
Mr.. Clark then tells in an entertain
ing manner of the rise of Stubs from
freckle-faced water carrier to rail-
road contractor, and then continues:
"A year ago last fall, representatives
were being elected all over Kansas, and
the idea of going to the legislature, al
though politics was a game he had
never tried, appealed to StubbS. Ee

from reading the newspapers, and OF

some pretty bad things. OF it's corrup-

power. he had never dreamed. The
names of Governor Bailey and Cy Lee
land and Mort Albaugh, and a score of
others who had been building this ma
chine since the Populists lost control
of the state, he knew, because ne had
heard them spoken of so often. But he
had never suspected the extent of their
authority in the Republican party of
Kansas.
"Others in Kansas knew. The most
insignificant jack-leg politician of the
back counties knew that he must kiss
the cross or be crucified. Those who
ate at the pie counter knew the price
of pastry. 1t appeared all very easy to
be on the pay roll of the legislature as
a clerk and have nothing to do but go
to Topeka once a month and cash a
check, but the fellows that had this
privilege knew what they paid for it.
Corporations were wise. PrerogativeS
almost unneard of were theirs, but
when the money came in it was not all

legitimate manner. The engine must
have fuel, and they recognized the fact
that the faster it went the more fuel
it needed.

NEW SANTA FE HOSPITAL.
100000 Structure at Los Angeles VIII
Be Begun at Once.

Los Angeles, Cal, Oct. 1.-Work is
to be begun at once on the 100000
Santa Fe hospital on Boyle Heights.
At a meeting of the board of directors
of the Santa Fe Coast Line Hospital
association the contract was let to F.
o. Engstrum, and the structure is to
be completed in six months.
If all the unique features of the
pecificadonS are carried out it will

nd taken to the third floor in an au-
f Omatic elevator, operated by the sim
lie pressing of a button; lodged in an
automatically heated room, and in
:ase of fire brought safely to the
ground in an automatic fire escape.
So complete and ideal are the auto
matte features of the new hospital
that it will not be strange if all who
enter therein for treatment are healed
automatically.
To have the most sanitary and best
equipped hospital on the Pacific coast
is the ann of the association and to be

be some compensation for the railroad

tural addition to that part of the city.

olders OF Alton Preferred
Stock Receiv $S4 Per Share.
Committee Sells Stock Under
Agreement of Dec. %, 'O3.
POOL OF $4,000 SHARES
Identity of Purchasers Secret,
Believed to Be Hartman.
Gossip and Matters Of Interest
I'm Railroad Circles.

New York, Oct. 1.-The holders of
Chicago & Alton railway preferred
stock yesterday received notice that
the committee with which they deposit
ted their shares under agreement of
December %, 1903. have sold the stock
for SS4 per share each. The identity
of the purchasing interest is not dis
closed. Kuhn, Loeb & Co., acting for
the committee will distribute after
October 8. the pro rate share of the
net proceeds of the sale.
In well informed quarters it is believ-
ed that the stock sold by the commit
tee was purchased by Hartman inter-
ests- The pool holders are said to have
amounted to between 100000 and 1885,
600 shares.
No definite announcement has as yet
been made as to the probable results
of the annual meeting of the Chicago
& Alton next Tuesday. The gossip
that Rock Island interests are in abso-
lutte control of the situation is repeated
daily, but as yet there has been no ex-
PLANTATION as to what the Rock Island
people purpose to do with what they
have bought away from Hartman. 1t
is well known that under the method
of electing directors it will be one and
probably two or three, years before
majority of the board can be had. 1t
is also reported the Hartman inter
ests will vote all of their stock under
the cumulative plan and elect one of
the directors to be elected at the meet
ing next week, and that the new inter-
ests will select the other two. Whether,
J. H. Moore will take the place person.

tive of the Rock Island will go in is not
known at present

to have bought control of Alton from
the Hartman interests.
1t is supposed the Rock Island party
was concerned in the transactions and
not few persons have thought that
the Alton affair, together with the pro-
motion of the Gould-Western Pacific
inte- ests, provided the stimulus for a
Improvement between the Hartman
and other interests in the western rail-
way world.
1t was reported last week that Har-
riman would make deal with the
Rock Island, using the Houston & Tex
as Central as a medium, and so keep
Alton for Union Pacific.

franc agreement with Santa Fe VIII
Permit Opening Soon.
San Bernardino, Cal, Oct 1.-The
details of a joint agreement between
the Santa Fe and Salt Lake railroads,
under which the former road will
handle the overland trains of the Salt
Lake between Cotton and Daggett, as
soon as the new transcontinental route
is open for traffic have been gone over
by the officials of the two systems.
A special train bearing Vice Presi-
dent J. Ross Clark and other officials
of the Salt Lake, with General Super
1ntendent Shepard and Assistant Cen
eral Passenger Agent J. ]. Byrne of
the Santa Fe, arrived in San Bernar-
dino late Sunday evening and spent
the night here. The party went to Col
ton yesterday morning and later left
for Daggett, from which point the new
lines of the Salt Lake are to be trav-
ersed.
regular service on the Salt Lake has
not yet been set, but it will probably
be some time before the opening of
the coming year.
of the Salt Lake will be turned over
to the Santa Fee at Cotton, passing
through the Santa Fee Third street sta
ton in this city instead of the Salt
Lake depot. The Santa Fe will han
die the trains from Cotton to Daggett,
on the desert, where they will again
be turned over to the Salt Lake road.
West-bound trains will be taken by
the Santa Fe at Daggett and turned
over to the Salt Lake again at Cotton.
While this agreement was tentative
ly entered into between the two sys-
TENS many months ago, the officials
yesterday were going over the lines
with view of arranging the details
of operation. which will require the
keeping of considerable more motive
power at this point.
The Salt Lake line is being rapidly
pushed out on the desert and soon will
be completed. when the handling of
freight traffic will be commenced.
This is expected to be very soon.
which necessitates the completion of
the operating agreement at once.
1t is contemplated making the driv-
ing of the last spike on the Salt Lake
a great event, excursions being run
from both ends of the system.
The new road will open up a vast
district of rich country, which has lain
dormant because of lack of Transport
tation facilities. and it is expected to
handle large freight traffic.

MATERIAL SCARCE AT ILLINOIS.
Strength of the Team Hard to EStf-
mate at This Time of the Year.

Urbana, Ill, Oct. 1.-The University
of Illinois football team just now is
an enigma, the solution of which will
only come when the Him stack up
against a hard opponent. So far the
showing of the team has not been one
calculated to raise ambitious hopes in
local hearts. The green material is
not displaying any great capacity to
learn, say the coaches.
What is expected to be a hard test
for the Illipi is the game with Wash
ington university, which will be played
in the stadium at st. Louis on Satur-
day, Oct. s. Reports from ST. Louis
indicate that Washington has improved
and that a real tusSle may be expected.
Ordinarily Washington has been an
easy adversary for the Illini.
The back field is what is causing
the local worry, but it is believed that
even with the Scant material on hand,
Lowenthal and Lindgren will be able
to construct a tolerably formida BILE
line. Lakewood and Fairweather at
center and guard only need a compan-
ion guard. Lindgren will have ave-
rage tackles. Young is fast coming
into promise as a candidate likely to
make good. Burroughs, the former
McKendree college star, has SO far not
shown up, according to expectations.
Harmon and Moynihan, the old tack
les, are working hard and the latter
especially is making a good showing.
Back field material is all light and
lacks Scra ppineSS.

The telegraphone has been used for

To Use Telegraphone.

Arrangements have been completed
by the Northern Pacific road for put
ting into operation between Pasco,
Wash, and Junction, N. D., tele-
graphone service, using the regular
wires of the company.
From Pasco to the Pacific, coast and
from st. Paul to Jamestown the com
pany already has it's own telephone
wires, so that the 1900 miles of teleg-
raphone will fill the gap between the
two ends of the company's telephone
service between St. Paul and the Pa
cific coast.
Between St Paul and Duluth the
Northern Pacific now operates a
double wire system over which both
telegraph and telephone service is had.

THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL.
Few People Know How Useful 1t Is in
Preserving Health and Beauty.

Nearly everybody knows that char
coal is the safest and most efficient dis
infectant and purifier in nature, but
few realize its value when taken into
the human system for the same
cleansing purpose.
Charcoal is a remedy that the more
you take of it the better; it is not a
drug at all, but simly absorbs the
gases and impurities always present in
the stomach and intestines and car
rfes them out of the system.
Charcoal sweetens the breath after
smoking, drinking or after eating
onions and other odorous vegetables.
Charcoal effectually clears and i'm
proves the complexion, it whitens the
teeth and further acts as a natural and
eminently safe cathartic.
1t abSorbs the injurious gases which
collect in the stomach and bowels; it
disinfects the mouth and throat from
the poison of catarrh.
All druggists sell charcoal in one
form or another. but probably the best
charcoal and the most for the money
is in Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges; they
are composed of the finest powdered
Willow charcoal. and other harmless
the from of large, pleasant tasting
lozenges, the charcoal being mixed
with honey.
The daily use of these lozenges will
soon tell in a much improved condi-
ton of the general health, better COM
plexion, sweeter breath and purer
blood, and the beauty of it is, that no
possible harm can result from their
continued use, but on the contrary,
great benefit
A Buffalo physician in speaking of
the benefits of charcoal, says: ''I adj
