IOHLER AT SALIVA.

Salina, Kan, Jan. GA committee
composed of J.. o. Brinkerhoff, general
superintendent; J.. B. Berry. chief en-
gineer, and a. L. Mohler, general nan
ager of the Union Pacific railroad, met
the mayor and city council in the club
room Of the library building here to dis
cuss the proposed improvements of the
railroad ompan in Salina. Represen-
tatives of most of the wholesale and
jobbing houses of the city were also
present.
General Manager Mohler said that the
Union Pacific was we'll aware hat the
city of Salina was entitled to a good
many improvements and that they
should have been made before this but
that there were several other places
that We're in the same condition and
that the company was doing al IN It's
power to arrange things satisfactory in
each place. Mr.. Mohler has only been
general manager of the Union Pacific
for about ten months n the work OF
improving has been retarded some
while he was getting acquainted with
the business.
MI. Berry submitted a map of the Sa-
lima yards of the D to the coun-
ell. This map showed the improvements
that the company thinks should be made
and Nj. Berry the gentlemen to
it and see If it was what they
wanted. According to the plans some
very IdOlCdl ClduSGS are 10 D6 Ild0Sy
the most important of which are the
changing of the freight yards and the
charging of the freight depot. The
present freight depot is not near large
enough to accommodate the business
that it should and it will be increased
to at least twice it's present capacity
If the plans submitted are approved the
roundhOuse and coal shute will be
moved 10 what is now the east limit OF
the yards and the switches will be OK
tended east so that all of the switching
will be done east of the city and the
long line of freight cars that stand on
the tracks so often will not block any
crossings.
Mr.. Berry also submitted plans for
the building Of a bridge and a often
that is to remedy the conditions that
existed at the time of the flood. Many
suggestions were made by the
men and others present but nothing
definite was done. The council will pro-
badly take the matter up at it's next
regular meeting. The officials of the
railroad company seem to be more than
willing to do their share towards better
ing the existing conditions. They also
intend to enlarge the stockyards, and
will move the Standard Oil company's
tanks to the south side of the tracks to
room for the new switches and
the new -TOUndhOuSe.

Cincinnati Baseball Writer Predicts
ThOrny Path for O'Brien.

Cincinnati. Jan. 27.-Ren Milford,
noted baseball authority, predicts a
thorny path for the new president of
the American association. He says:
Joseph d. O'Brien. of Milwaukee, is
president of the American association
and the scalp of J. Ed Grillo now
adorns the tepee of Big Chief T-Bo,'
the mar who runs things in the Amer
lean association. The prophesied
roundup took place George Tebeau
lined up Kansas City and Louisville.
Havenor delivered Milwaukee and
George Lennon dragged Toledo into
the St. Paul corral and left Indianap-
oils. Minneapolis and Columbus on the
other side. The Grillo administration
was too clean to suit the majority,
who are splendid winter advocates of
order on the diamond, but dead set
against discipline on a field in the good
old summer time. Just one year ago
Tebeau was one of the rulers who
placed the scepter in Grillo's hands.

ure of Lennon, HaVenOr and Strobel,
who were not let in on the play. Te-
beau has quit the trio to join the out

as the choice of a faction that de-

would fear to tread, for the a A. type

way, and he'll have to be pretty good
to escape being burueC up by the

ATAXIA IS DURABLE
REPORTED CURE STANDS TEST OF
FULL INVESTIGATION.
Now Free From Suffering and
Actively at Work.

Yes" said Mr.. Watkins to a repOr-
ter, sit IS true tina I have been cured
Of locomotor ataxia by DR. Williams
Pink Pills. I recommend them to peo-
pie who ask me if 1 know them to be
good for this disease, and if. as you say,
there are thousands of sufferers who
would be helped by learning my expert
ence, I am willing to have the story
published for their sakes. AS far as I
am concerned, however. I do not care
for notoriety. I am satisfied to be well"
Are you sure you had loconotor
ataxia? Doctors almost invariably say
that disease is incurable."
THE doctors themselves told ms 7
had locomotor ataxia, and they told my
wife that in a few months I would be-
come helpless. They made it pretty
plain to her that people who had that
trouble got steadily worse but never
better. BESIDES I know I had that dis
ease, because I recognized the symp-
toms myself"
What were they?'
'sNell, the first indications were q
stiffness about the knee joints that
came on about four years ago. A few
months after that appeared, my walk
got to be uncertain, shaky-like. l lost
confidence in my power to control the
of my legs when L was On
my feet. Once. when I was in the eel
lar. I started to pick UP WI scuttles or
coal, and my legs gave way
and / tumbled all in a heap in a bas-
ket. Another time / came down IN thS
same way in the parlor. I couldn't close
my eyes and keep my balance to save
my life. Then 7 had fearful pains over
my whole body and I lost control over
my kidneys and my bowels.
How about your general health
Sometimes 1 was so weak that l
had to keep my bed for a couple OF
weeks at a time, and my weight fell OF
twenty pounds. In the midst of my
other troubles I had the grip. and after
that things looked pretty bad for me
until I ran across a young man VINO
had been cured by DR.. Williams Pink
Pills and who advised me to try them

til had used six boxes. The first bene-
fit noticed was a letter circulation and
a picking up in strength and weight. l

rate. I can close my eyes and stand up
all right and move about the same as
other men. NY bowels and kidneys are
under perfect control. The pains are ali
gone except an occasional twitch in the
calves of my legs. I have scarcely any
other reminders of my old affliction."
Mr.. James H. Watkins resides at No

LOST HIS POSITION
Account of gray Hair.

It is the modern tendency in the BUSH
ness world to favor the young man and
drop the older men whenever possible.Th
impression being that age incapacitates a
man for doing good work and holding a
responsible position. Though this is
a mistaken idea, it nevertheless
has great influence today. as was
recently evidenced by the dis
charge OF an employe by a certain
large business house for no other reason
than that he was getting too old and
gray headed" Not only that but this
man met with refusal after refusal while
hunting for a new position on the grounds
of his gray hair. He was not even given
an opportunity to prove his qualification,
but was met with a shake of the head
and the remark:"We want YOUNG men,"

Horton, Kan, Jan. 27.-As a bit OF news
I write that the peach buds were killed

trees in unfavorable locations. Some of
the most hardy varieties have enough
live buds for a crop. We have a 40 acre

A Queer Experience.

Possibly one man out of every
million has the experience of Mr..
Robert d. Young, who lives near
Olmstead, can truthfully relate as
having befallen him, but it is
certain that such instances are
very much on the order of hens
teeth, il not a little more so.
Here follows that experience
One day about five years ago Mr..
Young was standing in his horse
lot, holding his saddle horse, the
bride reins resting across his left
arm and sholder. A number of
young horses were frisking about
in the lot, and the one Mr.. Young
was holding, becoming very restless,
suddenly jumped and ierked his
owners arm out of place. Mr..
Young had consulted doctors in
various cities, but none of them
were able to so manipulate the in
jured member that he could use it
as formerly, and he had about given
up all hope of ever being so
fortunate.
Last week he went to Adairville
and bought two mules, leading
them nome behind his buggy. On
the way one them suddenly jerked
back and it happened that the rope
by which it was led was on Mr..
Young's left arm and sholder.
He says he heard quite a loud re-
port and felt considerable pain for
a moment, but upon moving his
arm was surprised and delighted
to find that it was as strong and
useful in every respect as it was
five years ago when the accident
occurred.
. Physicians say that occ FRANCES
of the kind are not without record,
but that it is very seldom indeed
that a mans injury is remedied
precisely in the same manner it
was brought about.-Todd County

1t will be gratifying to many
Kentuckians who are still holding
lands in Kansas to know that the
u ii { aiiiiiny vrvps in That otaJe for tine

the value of farm lands and that
boom paralleling that of the latter
eighties is not at ali improba Bile.
The whole country went wild over
Kansas real estate at one time and
many Kentucky people got tangled
up in the boom and sank hundreds

many a Kentuckian's heart throb
with hope:
"Land prices have gone skyward
and property is selling like hot

One of the good ideas that come
TO us from the Department of Ag-
riculture is the discovery that i'm
ure and bad-smehing water is
often caused by the growth within
it Of microscopic forms of plant
life called algae, and that sulphate
of copper, (blue vitriol) quickly
destroys these germs together with
all disease germs. 1t will keep
water sweet in farm cisterns, water
troughs and tanks and do no injury
to the health of any one using the
water for washing or drinking.
Only very small quantity should
be used, dissolve and stirred well.
If not enough is used to make the
water sweet a little more may be
added. A bit as large as a grain
of wheat will suffice for barrel of
water.
