HARTMAN APPEALs.
VIII Take Northern Securities Case
Up to o. S. Supreme Court.

New York, Jan. 6.-That the Northern
Securities case Will be taken UP to the
United States supreme court on a writ of
certiorari by T. H. Hartman and the in
terests allied with him, was announced
by W. D. Guthrie of counsel for the Har-
rirnan faction today. Copies of the decis-
ion of the United States court OF appeals
were received by counsel today. After a.
perusal Of the decree Mr.. Guthrie said
the application for the writ would be
made to the supreme court as soon as the
court reconvenes.
The court Of appeals dissolved the in
junction which had been secured by the
Hartman interests restraining the distri-
button of the assets of the Northern Sc
curities company, and its division was in
effect a defeat for the efforts of Mr.. Har-
riman and Winslow S. Pierce to secure
the return of the Northern Pacific stock
which they turned over to the Northern
Securities company and which was val
ued at $78,09S, 600. It is expected that a
writ of certiorarf from the United States
supreme court will act as a stay to pre-
vent, temporarily, the distribution of the
Northern Pacific stock held by the Great
Northern company.

STRANGER THAN FICTION
A Remedy Which Has RevoIutionized
the Treatment of Stomach Troubles.

A Remedy Which Has RevoIutionized
the Treatment of Stomach Troubles.
The remedy is not heralded as a won
derful discovery nor yet a secret patent
medicine, neither is it claimed to cure
anything except dyspepsia, indigestion
and stomach troubles with which nine
out of ten suffer.
The remedy is in the form of pleasant
tasting tablets or lozenges, containing
vegetable and fruit essences, pure asep-
tic pepsin government test,) golden
seal and diaStase. The tablets are sold
by druggists under the name of Stu
arts Dyspepsia Tablets. Many inter
esting experiments to test the digestive
power of Stuart's Tablets show that
one grain of the active principle con-
tanned in them is sufficient to thorough
ly digest 5000 grains of raw meat, eggs
and other wholesome food.
Stuart's Tablets do not act upon the
bowels like after dinner pills and cheap
catharctics, which simply irritate and
inf1ame the intestines without having
any effect whatever in digesting food or
curing indigestion.
If the stomach can be rested and as
sisted in the work of digestion it will
very soon recover its normal vigOr, as
no organ is SO much abused and over
worked as the stomach.
This is the secret, if there is any Sc
cret, of the remarkable success of Stu
arts Dyspepsia Tablets, a remedy prac-
ticalIy unknown a few years ago and
treatment for stomach weakness.
This success has been secured entire
ly upon it's merits as a digestive pure
and simple because there can be no
stomach trouble if the food is prompt
ly digested.
Stuart's DYSPEPSIA Tablets act entire
" on the food eaten, digesting it COM
pleteIy, so that it can be assimilated
into blood, nerve and tissue. They
cure dyspepsia, water brash, sour stom-
ach, gas and bloating after meals, be-
cause they furnish the digestive power
which weak stomachs lack and unless
that lack is supplied it is useless
to attempt to cure by the use of ton
ics,' pills and cathartics which have
absolutely no digestive power.
StuaTt's Dyspepsia Tablets can be
found at all drug stores and the regular
use of one or two of them after meals
viii demonstrate their merit better
than any other argument.

ley, 25,S16,9 17 bushels.
The closeneBs of the competition for
the -four traffic among the Chicago
St. Paul lines is shown by the fact
that the Burlington led, with LIP, 900
with 1,699,500; the Northwestern
third, with 1,414,S55. The Wisconsin
Centrals proportion was larger than
commonly supposed. and amounted to
1,O42,4 21 barrels. tsa
In the wheat traffic the Santa Fe

MIR. BLACKS CHINESE PASS.
General Passenger Agent of the Santa
Fe Receives Unique Annual.

General passenger agent OF Ine SANTA
Fe Receives Unique Annual.
This is the season of the year fo1
the annual exchange of card passes
among the railway men, and from the
presidents and managers of the var
ious railways to the various officials
of all the numerous other roads.
The fact that Topeka is a railway
center and that many of the general
officers of the roads in this section
are located here accounts for the ex-
traordinarily large number of IAN
nuaF' passes held in this city.
The card or annual passes are got
ten out in a variety of shapes, forms
and descriptions. The usual assortment
of ANIMALS received by the average
general official of a railway would fur
nish material for an extended story
alone.
General Passenger Agent w. J.
Black of the Santa Fe has just re-
ceived an annual from Canton-Han-
kow Railway company. of Canton
Of all the odd, unusual, or unique
passes received in Topeka the one just
received by Mr.. Black from China
doubtless attracts more curious at
tentiOn than all others.
1t is printed according to the estab-
lished form customary in this country.
In fact the CantOn-Hankow railway is
the only railway in the Chinese EN-
pire conducted along American lines,
and after American IDEAS The card
board on which the pass is printed
is one of the peculiar papers charac-
teristic of the Chinese nation.
The card is white and the face is
printed in a thin white green, doubt
less by the use of an ink of vegetable
character. The top line of the face
of the pass greatly resembles the en-
graved designs of the American passes.
The top line is printed on a dark
tinted background in a sort of half
circle form underneath which appears
the Chinese symbol of the dragon.
The reading matter on the face of the
pass follows:
IMPERIAL CHINESE RAILWAY
ADMINISTRATION
Canton-Hankow Railway,
Canton, China.
Pass w. J. Black, C. P. A, A. T. &
S. F. R. r.
Until December 31st, 1905, unless
otherwise ordered.
No. 1913. (Signed) Joseph Lind,
superintendent.
The conditions on the back of the
pass are phrased in the English Ian
guage along similar lines as the style
adopted by American railways.
The words are all English with the
exception of a corner of the card
which contains a lot of Chinese char
acters which were evidently placed
there by the use Of a rubber stamp.
Mr.. Black has not yet been able to
decipher their meaning
The Canton-Hankow railway is built
north from the port of Canton. It
extends for a distance of about 200
miles and plans are said to be under
way for considerable extension during
the next few years.
Mr.. Black is greatly pleased with
his Chinese pass which is without
question one of the most unique cards
ever received by any railway man in
Topeka, but he has not yet decided to
take trip to China for the express
purpose of using it.

NEW INTERLOCKING PLANT.
Santa Fe Installing One at Missouri
Pacific Crossing at Hutchinson.


Pacific Crossing at Hutchinson.
The Santa Fe and Missouri Pacific
roads are constructing an interlocking
plant at the crossing in the west part
of the city of Hutchinson, Kan, where
a wreck occurred about a year ago.
A semaphore will be placed there and
watchman will be on duty from 8
o'clock in the morning until o'clock
at night After that hour the gates
will be locked across the Missouri Pa
cific road and any trains on that road
which will want to cross during the
night will have to unlock the gates
and, after passing through, lock them
up again. 1t will be a clear track all
of the night for the Santa Fe, as the
Missouri Pacific road does not have
night trains. It will also enable the
trains to run over the crossing in the
daytime without stopping, and will be
a great saver of time. especially for
the Santa Fe fast trains. which have
had to make stops heretofore.
The new plant will be in operation
in a short time. and it will prevent
any accidents in the future at that
point

Increased Building Permits.

Kansas City, Kas., Jan. 6.-W. P.
Gilbert, building inspector, has fin
ished his report for the year 1904.
The report shows that during the past
year permits amounting to $1,549,243
were issued. This is an increase of
rs per cent. over last year. The larg-
est permit for buildings was taken
out by the Nelson Morris Packing
company and amounted to $3.50, 1000.
All the other permits were for small
buildings except permit for the

ALTON SHOWS IMPROVEMENT.
Earnings Increase-Road Is Reapins
Benefit OF improvements

DC1ACAAL VI improvements
The steady increase in both gross
and net earnings of the Chicago &
Alton for the first five months of the
fiscal year is a notable feature of the
northwestern railroad situation. For
the five months gross increased Ia per
cent and net % per cent.
1t appears that the Chicago & Alton
is now reaping the benefit of the i'm
mense amount of cash spent on the
property out of earnings during the
last five years. It has been an open
secret in Chicago for a long time that
the Hartman policy of building up of
the Alton was to have reached its
elimination at about this time. The
physical condition of the property is
therefore now at about its highest.
The future of the road. therefore,
may be taken to depend almost en-
tirely on business conditions and not
on exigencies of policy. Given fair
crops and a normal business status
throughout the central west, Alton
common will probably be paying a
small dividend within eighteen
months

Want Their Taxes reduced.

Armourdale, Kas., Jan. 6.-The
property owners of Armourdale and
the flooded districts of Kansas City.
Kas., are preparing to petition the
mayor and council of that city to
order a revision of the tax lists. There
is a law in Kansas which gives the
mayor and council power, upon a
general complaint of the property
owners, to order reassessment of the
property. The Armourdale citizens
contend that their taxes should be
lowered on account of the loss they
sustained in the last flood.

On seThe CockIeburr Special"

The Emporia Gazette says: In rail-

When the plug, which runs from En-
poria to Chanute and back, was put
on last summer, some one at the depot
dubbed the new train 1.-The Cookie
burr Special William Lattimer is
the conductor and G. T. Tyner the
brakeman of the "Cockleburr." Sat
urday when Lattimer and Tyner were
bringing their train from Chanute,
they began discussing the possibilities
in store if the name brakeman
should be changed to guard" If
Tyner became the guard, then Latti-
mer, as his superior, would be called
the captain of the crew. Then the
guard would have to salute his cap
boots, and do everything in fact. that
the captain commanded.
When the "Cockleburr'' reached
Emporia Saturday evening, Lattimer
could not help think of the funny
things that might happen if his brake
man should be called a. guard. Sun
day morning when Lattimer appeared
at the station, he carried a huge flint
lock musket, a belt of large proper
lions, and a soldier cap. When Tyner
saw him, he tumbled. but recovered
in time to salute his captain Then
Tyner took the belt and cap and put
them on, and grabbing the musket
took his stand by the steps of the
"Cockleburr.'' Every passenger who
piled aboard the Limited" yesterday,
was startled to see a soldier with
gun at the steps, and singing the
names of the stations as they pulled
into the towns along the line.
