Omaha Is Jubilant Over Getting

Town Oh the Eve of Having Its
Troubles Settled.

Atchison, Jan. H.-Omaha is putting
out this sort of an argument: I'VE can
have steam coal hauled to this city as
cheap or cheaper than Kansas City can
get It," says a merchant. In addition
to lower rates Omaha is to have a bot
ter grade of steam coal. Omaha also
is to give Kansas City the warmest
time in the way of competition on the
coal question that the southern city of
hills has experienced since it assumed

way. All these things are not only
guaranteed to Omaha, but they are
promised to come to pass within a per-
1od of 80 DAYS. New mines have been
opened at Atchison and the work has
progressed SO far that the company is
nearly ready to enter the Omaha mar
ket with its steam coal. This is sad
to be of a quality superior to that
kee coal fields. The mines have been
supplying Atchfson for some time and
while 1t has monopolized the local field,
It has not been in shape to export
coal"

ing its steam coal troubles settled for
good, said a Burlington official. 1--WE
have adviCes that the AtchiSon mines

or less This will solve the coal rate
question for US for good and all.
Omdha IS now paying $1-35 to have coal
hauled here from the Pittsburg district.
As soon as the new mines are ready to
ship we can haul the product in here
Tor 81 and guarantee a better grade of
steam coal than Omaha is now getting.
The mines are being worked. In fact
they have been open Cor some time.
They are operated by a. local company
and by putting in extra machinery and
increasing the mine forces of men the
company has got to where it is almost
ready to ship into this market. We will
have only one competitor for the haul
and that will be the Missouri Pacific

rates for now and all time so far as
Omaha is concerned: for the railroads

wants. We are willing to haul all the

Many AiIments-One Cause

have called these the inside nerves for
simplicity's sake. Their usual name IS
the sympathetic nerves. Physicians call
them by this name because they are so
closely allied-because each is in close
sympathy with the others. The result is
that when one branch is allowed to be-
come impaired the others weaken. That
is why one kind of sickness leads into
another. That is why cases become com
plicated-" For this delicate nerve is the
most sensitive part of the human system
Does this not explain to you some of the
uncertainties of medicines it not a good
reason to your mind why other kinds OF
treatment may have failed?
Don't you see that THIS Is NEW in
medicine7 That this is NOT the mere
patchwork of a stimulant-the mere
soothing of a narcotic? Don't you see
that IL goes right to the root Of the
trouble and eradicates the cause2
But I do not ask you to take a single
statement of Inine-I do not ask you to
believe a word I say until you have tried
my medicine in your own home at my
expense absolutely. Could offer you a
fun dollars worth free If there were any
Misrepresentation? Could 1 let you go to
your druggist-whom you knoW-and pick
out any bottle he has on his shelves of
my medicine were it not UNIFORMLY
helpful? Could AFFORD to do this if I
were not reasonably SURE that my med
iCine will help YOU?

the way today over a branch of the
Missouri, Kansas & Texas railway
system from Chanute to Junction

the good roads propaganda There
will be no meeting until Junction City
is reached, but all along the route, in
Humboldt, Burlington, Hartford and
Emporia, the special cars bearing
banners and the good roads badges
and literature aroused much interest.
The plan for using oil in the construc-
ton Of roads is one that will receive
consideration in the Chanute oil dis
trict. It is regarded by many oil ope-
rators as feasible and expedient. The
convention in Junction City will be-
gin this afternoon. The officers and
soldiers at Fort Riley and the students
and faculty of the Mania ttan college
have been asked to attend.

Kansas City Men in Cherokee, Kan,
in Response to Another's Telegram.
Pittsburg, Kan, Jan. 21.-Jesse and
Charles Hitchcock went to Cherokee
last evening from Kansas City to at
tend the funeral of their father. E. c.
Hitchcock, whom they understood to
be dead. They did not learn their
error until they had almost reached
Cherokee. The Hitchcock brothers are
employed by one of the packing COM
panies at Kansas City with their
cousin, Frank Hitchcock. Yesterday
morning a telegram was received at
Kansas City for Frank from a mem
Der of the Shafer family announcing
the death Of Mr.. Shafer. The tele-
gram read: Father is dead
The other Hitchcock boys received
the telegram by mistake and supposed
it referred to their own father. They
did not have time to go home from
the packing house, but caught a train
at the union depot and started at once
for Cherokee.

TEBEAU GETS BUSY.
To Get Club in the Central League
at Grand Rapids.

South Bend, Ind, Jan. 21.-Geo. Te-
beau, magnate of Louisville and Kan
sas City in the American association,
is accused of conspiring with the
Grand Rapids Traction company to
force the Central league out of Grand
Rapids in order that he can tranfer
the Kansas City franchise to Grand
Rapids. The first move in the game
of freeze out was played when the
traction company refused to lease its
baseball park for less than S85 a
game. Without use of tbs park it will
be impossible to play Sunday ball in
Grand Rapids. Mautner and Heenan,
owners of Grand Rapids, are fighters
and with backing of the league will
hold their ground.

BOARDING HOUSE WAR"
X. U. Students Starting Clubs to Force
Down the Price of Food.

Lawrence, Kan, Jan. 21.-There is
a boarding house war here between
students of the University of Kansas
and the boarding house proprietors.
There are no dorrnitories here and the
students say they have been paying
too much for food. AS a result. forty
students banded together and formed
a clubhouse frat" They elected w.
r. Tribble president and D. Nicol
steward. Members are voted into the
new organization as into lodges and
there are many more applicants than
have been accepted. The price of
board is 50 a week and the food is
unusually good.
Food served is similar to training
table diet and is the best and most
substantial that can be secured in
Lawrence. It is a rule of the new
club that any member found guilty
of trying to make money for himself
Will be fined SIS. So far the CLUB
house frat has been successful and
others probably will be started.

The Kidneys are the blood filters. They
are operated solely by the inside nerves.
The branch which operates them and reg
ulates them is called the renal plexus.
When the renal plexus is weak or irreg-
ular, the kidneys become clogged with the
very potsons they should throw off. No
kidney treatment can clean them out or
cure them and one stage leads into an
other until after a while the kidneys
themselves begin to break down and dis
solve. There is only one way to reach

side nerves that control them, which DR..
