SPRINGFIELD EXTENSION
 SURVEY COMPLETED.
Missouri Pacific Promised a Much Cheaper Road Than White
 River Line.

Springfield, Mo-, March 24.- The survey for the Missouri Pa cific road between Springfield and Crane, Mo-, has been about completed and the contract for the grading is expected to be let soon and the work will doubtless begin at once.
 Some of the members of the surveying crew under o. L. Ken nedy, who composed the party of twenty men surveying from the White river branch north to this city, returned to Springfield to- day and they report that the sur vey had been completed as far as Clever, Christian county, about sixteen miles southeast of here, where they met the survey made from this city by Vance some time ago.
 It is said that this survey was in every way satisfactory and that it would doubtless be ac- ceptable tS the head officials. It is through a rich country, which is comparatively devoid of hills or steep grades; in fact, the sur- vey was made on less than one per cent grade, which is much less than that of the White river branch.
 The cost of constructing the line will be thousands of dollars less per mile than on the other end of the White river branch. There remain only about ten days more of surveying in all.

l THE LEGISLATURE. pNANANNNN>NN<NUNNNN<

The house renewed it's ale glance to the governor Friday when by a two-thirds vote the Killough levee bill was called up out of the regular order and laid on the table. This clinches the appointments recently made by Davis and kills all chances of Ollie Killiough and Attorney J. c. Hawthorne holding jobs on the new St. Francis levee board. Representative Keel is reported to be again following the gov ernor blindly" and the offense is the more serious after having his eyes opened to the light on the Black-Meade penitentiary bills. He voted against the Killough bill and with the friends of the governor.
 The railroads have for many years strained the patience of the public by their dilatory and pro- crastinating methods in the set clement of small claims. They are responsible for the public sentiment that has at last se- cured the passage of an act re- quiring them to pay damages on goods lost whose value does not exceed ten dollars within three days. Such is the substance of the lobe act, which was adopted by the house Friday and now goes to the governor for appro- val. The enforcement of this law may often work a hardship on the railroads, as the time limit is short, but it should be accepted as a lesson and all claims more promptly adjusted, else this act may be supplemented with legis- lation fixing a time limit on the settlement of all claims.

duty compels me to write you in relation to your action Tn filling the vacancies occurrina in the Board of Directors of lthe St. Francis Levee District. The magnitude of the work iptrusted ito this board, the preservation of the millions of wealth to the state, and the security of the lives of thousands of people of the state, all suggest that the greatest care should be observed in constituting this board, to se- lect men of experience in hand ling larg s interests, men who are interested in the work, men in whose capacity to prosecute this great public enterprise the peo- pie interested have some confi- dence. In short, that the best men in the district should be se- lected for appointment, having due regard to their interest, their capacity, and the confidence re- posed in them by the community to be served. Your private as- surances that these considera- ofrs.alone should influence your conduct in this matter was very gratifying indeed, and for a time, we fesG secure in the belief that this great public improve ment would not be retarded by any improvident appointment. When the result of your delibera- tion became public, and your ap- pointments made known, we scarcely knew whether to be more disgusted with your lack of sin cerity in this matter or your evil dent lack of knowledge of the kind and class of people in the St. Francis Levee District from whom you could select directors.
 Governor, you have often maintained that a public trust, to be sacredly performed, not a means nor an engine for oppres- sion, not to be exercised to pun ish one's enemies. not to be used for building up a following to further the oficeholder's ambi- tion, but to be exercised solely for the purpose of promoting the moral and material prosperity of the whole people.
 At such times we who have heard your vehement exclama- tions have felt great hopes of your efforts in behalf of the people, but when we come face to face with your actions in mak- ing appointments in the board of directors in the St. Francis levee district the illusion is dis pelled and when you are tried in the forum of an enlightened pub lie opinion your insincerity is ap- parent, your judgment, if not corrupt, is grossly, radically and inexcusably erroneous, and we are sorrowfully constrained to admit that you stand convicted in the matter of having used this public trust for every purpose for which it should not be used and of not having used it for the only purpose for which it should be used.
 Governor, regret the neces- sity of having to express myself thus freely to you on this sub- .iect, but have been your friend; I have stood sponsor for you to many of my friends here, and the utter and rec ess disregard for
 he best peop of this county,

Drunkenness a Ter

The worlds greatest physicians
agree that drunkenness is a disease
and must be treated as such 1t is not
necessary to incur the publicity and eX-

the disease of drunkenness can be
cured right in the home by Orrine.
This great remedy is put up by a
chemist who, after many years of con-
slant labor and research, combined the
necessary ingredients that positively
conquer the craving for liquor.
Orrine is put un in two forms. No.

is put up in pill form, for the volun-

themselves from the grasp of alcoholic
stimulants; this is in a convenient
form to carry in the vest pocket
Either form costs 81 per package.

HEREDITY.
Can Be Overcome in Cases.

The influence of heredity cannot of
course, be successfully disputed, but 1t
can be minimiZed or entirely overcome
in some cases by correct food and
drink. A Connecticut lady says:
For years while 1 was q coffee
drinker l suffered from bilious attacks
of great severity, from which 1 used to
emerge as white as ghost and very
weak. Our family physician gave me
va5ious prescriptions for improving
the digestion and stimulating the liver,
which | tried faithfully but without
perceptible result. He was acquaint-
ed with my family history for several
generations back, and once when l Wis
tied him he said: If you have inher-
tied one of those torpid livers you may
always suffer more or less from it's in
action. We can't dodge our inheri-
lance you know.
81 was not so strong a believer in
heredity as he was, however, and, be-
ginning TO think for myself, / conclud-
ed to stop drinking coffee, and see
what effect that would have. / fear
ed it would be a severe trial to give
it up, but when / took Postum and
had it well made, it completely filled
my need for a hot beverage and grew
very fond of it.
II have used the Postum Coffee for
three years, using no medicine, and
the change has completely cured me.
During all that time l have had abso-
lutely none of the bilious attacks that
l used to suffer from, and / have been
entirely free from the pain and debil-
itating effects that used to result from
them. The change is surely very
great, and / am compelled to give Pos
tum Coffee the exclusive credit for it. ;"

committee. The improvements desir-
ed, he said, We're not theoretical only,
but practical. Expensive changes
were not necessarily, as those most
needed were not costly barns, but tho
wider stalls for the cows; more light
and windows for ventilation, etc,
changes which would be accompanied
with but insignificant expense; yet
which would result in the utmost good
for the people.
DR.. Joseph Graham said that every
mother in Raleigh would cooperate
heartily with the Board OF Health in
its efforts in their behalf and spoke
earnestly of the necessity for purer
milk In conclusion he suggested that
a committee be appointed to inspect
the dairies, and have several bacterio-
logical examinations made of the milk
from every dairy.
Mr.. Walter Watson embodied the
suggestion in q motion, which was put
and carried, and DR.. McGeachy APP
pointed the committee
1t was emphasized that this move,
ment is not aimed against the dairy
men, but that it was really for THEN
good, and the board desires their act

Board of Health at a meeting to be
called, and the Board of Health will
report to the Board of Aldermen at
