TO DISCUSS SPEED QUESTION.
American Railway Association VIII
Consider Foreign Criticism.

American Railway Association VIII
Consider Foreign Criticism.
Chicago June Has the Ameri-
can pubic gone speed-crazy, and is the
speed of American passenger trains
excessive, considering the conditions
that now govern transportation and
operation These are questions which
the American Railway association is
going to consider at it's next meeting,
and it is possible that a resolution
giving the sense of the association may
be passed. The question of speed has
been seriously considered by every
railway management for several years,
and the reas son for the American asso-
citation taking it up at this time is the
almost unanimously expressed opinion
by the foreign delegates to the inter-
national railway congress that reck-
less speed is the rule rather than the
exception on American railways.
Many of the delegates did not hest
tate to express their CONSERVATION at
hazards taken by American railway
homogeneous. Such speed as they ex-
perienced on their excursions, main
tanned under the conditions existing,
they declare was little short of fool
hardy.
This opinion met with little protest,
because the presidents and general
managers of American railways admit
among themselves that it is largely de-
served. In fact, many of them prefer
taking the slower trains on their sys-
TENS when they can. American rail-
way homogeneous declare that the
excessive fast time of passenger trains
is the result of a constant demand
upon the part of the public.

WHAT WHISKEY COSTS
TIE DRUNEARD.
Cure the Drink Habit With Orrine
and Save Money.

Whisky drinking does not pay. Take
the lowest possible view, without
counting the loss of friends, the loss
of business, the loss of manhood that
comes to the drunkard; consider
simply the actual money paid out. and
see what it costs in dollars and cents.
Good authority states that nearly one
third of the wages of the Iaboring man
goes over the bar. How much are you
contributing Figure up for one
month how much you take from your
wife and children and pay out in ex-
change for drink The total will
astonish you, and you win swear OF.
VIII power alone will not cure the
habit. Use Orrine, the only guaran-
teed cure for the habit. 1t can be
used without publicity or loss Of time.
It strengthens the nerves, gives a good
appetite and refreshing sleep The
cost is small, 81 per box. Orrine is
sold and recommended by Geo. w.

KANSAS CITY, Sept. 1S-With the
cessation of rain today the Kaw and
it's tributaries began to fall and the
danger of a severe flood is past. Traffic
has been resumed on the railroads.
Continued fair weather is looked for
throughout Kansas and es.Iiissouri. The
water in the Missouri is at a low stage.
Rain has fallen in Kansas City and
vicinity every day excepting one in
September, with a total downfall to
date of ten inches in seventeen days.
Practically the same conditions have
prevailed throughout western Missouri,
especially in the northwestern corner of
the state, and in a portion of eastern
and central Kansas.
At Kansas City yesterday an inch and
and a half of rain fell, while at Wichi-
ia, Kas., the precipitation amounted to
314 inches.
Turkey creek, which flows through
Rosedale, just across the line in Kan
sas on the southwest, is on a rampage
and many poor people along its banks
were forced to move out today.
