Two Men Hid in a Trunk on a
Special Horse Car.
Unsuccessful Effort to Beat Way
Across Country.
CAUGHT BY TOM WEBB.
Santa Fe Agent at Hutchinson
Does Clever Bit Of Work.
Gossip and Matters of Interest
in Railroad Circles.

Hutchinson, Kan, Nov 24-Hid in a
big trunk, with the cover locked down
good and hard, and with the key in a
well, as far as the men in charge of
the trunk were concerned, were two
stowaways on a Santa. Fe train on Sun
day night, who were trying to beat
their way across the country. They
were found by Tom Webb. the special
agent of the company located here. He
arrested the men but had them releas-
ed on their payment of full fare from
Kansas City to San Francisco.
An Erie railroad special horse car was
making the trip from some eastern
point to San Francisco. The Santa Fe
got it at Kansas City for the remain
der of the trip. The officials of the rail-
road at that point thought there were
more than five men with the outfit.
This many had transportation fixed out
all right. The officers seemed to believe
that there We're others, however. who
were trying to get out to the coast with
the car of horses and the special agents,
up and down the line, were doing a
waiting and watching stunt. The car
came through Hutchinson on No. Z,
Sunday night, and Special Agent Webb
was there as usual. He had received
a wire to try and locate the men. He
went into this car and asked for a key
to one of the large trunks in the car.
None of the men had it or knew any
thing about it. Webb made a demand,
allowing so much time for the key to
be produced. It was not forthcoming,
so Webb sent to the baggage room for
a crowbar and, after the last warning
had been turned down cold, the lid was
pried off. Here the two men were
found huddled away in the big box.
One of the men in the car hurriedly
found a key for the other trunk, saving
the lid and the lock from the fierce
work Of the croWbar. No one was in
the, second trunk.
Webb Immediately placed the two
men under arrest, under the state law,
which makes it an offense to beat a
railroad company out of a ride This
| scared things up a little bit and one of
| the two men went down in his Jeans
and pulled out 500 bill They were
taken to the ticket Office where they
were allowed to pay for a ticket for
each from Kansas City to Hutchinson,
and buy two more from Hutchinson to
/ San Francisco. The fare was almost
800 even for the two, but they paid
up rather than have to go to Jail.
It was a clear case of dead beat in
a horse express car and it had been
/ working all right until Hutchinson was
reached. A little nerve. and crowbaI
/ brought the company in q good piece
! of money and stopped the efforts of two
men. at least. to beat their way or
! passenger trains.

LET YOUR STOMACH HAVE IT'S
OWN WAY
Do Not Try to Drive and Force it to
Work When it is Not Able or You
VIII Suffer All the More.

You cannot treat your stomach as
some men treat a ball1y horse; force
drive or even starve it into doing work
at which it rebels. The stomach is q
patient and faithful servant and will
stand much abuse and i'll treatment be-
fore it ''ba1ks," but when it does you
had better go slow with it and not at
tempt to make it work. Some people
have the mistaken idea that they can
make their stomachs work by starving
themselves. They might cure the stom-
ach that way, but it would take so long
that they would have no use for a stom-
ach when they got through. The sensi-
BILE way out of the difficulty is to let the
stomach rest if it wants to and employ
a substitute to do it's work
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will d. the
work Of your stomach for you and di-
gest your food just as your stomach
used to when it was we'll You can
prove this by putting your food in a
glass jar wiSh one of the tablets and
sufficient water and you will see the
food digested in just the same time as
the digestive fluids of the stomach would
do it. That viii satisfy your mind. Now,
to satisfy both your mind and body take
one of StuartS Dyspepsia Tablets after
eating-eat all and what you want-and
you will feel in your mind that your food
! is being digested because YOU will feel
no disturbance or weight in your stom-
aeh in fact. you will forget all about
naNAl5 d GtOi-dGH just d. SsJu AiG NuEtA
you were q healthy boy or girl
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets act in a
natural way because they coEtain only
the natural eTe1pents OF the gastric juices
and other digestive fluids of the stom-
ach. It makes no difference what condi-
ton the stomach is in, they go right
ahead of their own accord and do their
work They know their business and
surrounding conditions do not Influence
them in the least. They thus relieve the
weak stomach of all its burdens and
give it its much needed rest and permit
! it to become strong and healthy
! Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are for sale
by all druggists at 50 cents a box. They
are so well known and their popularity
] is SO great that a druggist would as
soon think of being out of alcohol or
quiniHe In fact, physicians are pre-
1 scribing them all over the land and if
your own doctor is real honest with you.
he win tell you frankly that there is
nothing on earth SO good for dyspepsia
as Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets.

INTERESTING STATISTICS.
Santa Fe's Increase in Fixed Charges
Greater Than in Bonded Debt.

Santa Fe's Increase in Fixed Charges
Greater Than in Bonded Debt.
In the last five years the bonded debt
OF American railroads has increased
more than 13 per cent a mile. The
greatest growth IN fixed charges has
line which gained in mileage 1883 per
cent, its fixed charges, 457.1 per cent.
its stock issue 11.9 per cent and its net
earnings zoos per cent.
The Delaware and Hudson increased
its mileage 27.7 per cent, its fixed
charges 81 per cent, its stock issue
lis per cent and its net earnings
112.6 per cent. The Reading increased
its fixed charges 52.2 per cent and its
net earnings 76.S per cent.
In this period there was a decrease
in fixed charges of the Burlington, the
Milwaukee and St. Paul, the New
York, New Haven and Hartford and
the Illinois Central.
Out of thirty-four roads, sixteen
show increases in stocks of less than 1
per cent and eight of the number show
q gain greater in proportion than their
increase in net earnings. These eight
are the Baltimore and Ohio, the Chi
cago and Northwestern, the Illinois
Central, the Missouri Pacific, the New
Haven and Hartford, the Pennsylvania
and the Union Pacific. Thirty-one of
increase in net earnings than in mile
age. This would go to show that over
80 per cent of the mileage built in the
last five years has been profitable.
A large proportion of the cost of the
increased mileage in the last five years
has been provided for by the issue of
bonds. In almost every case the invest
ment has proved profitable from the
outset All the profits have accrued as
equities for stocks, which in the ma
jority of cases show small increases in
amounts. The consequence naturally
is that the companies are able to show
relatively large percentages earned on
the stock.
The following roads show fixed
charges Increased in greater proper
ton than either funded debt or mile
age: The Santa Fe, Baltimore and
Ohio, Chesa peake and Ohio, Alton,
Kansas City Southern, Missouri Pa
cific. Northern Pacific, Frisco, Sea-
board Air Line, Southern, Texas and
Pacific and Wisconsin Central. The
Chicago and Northwestern. Delaware
and Hudson. New York Central and
Southern Pacific show fixed charges
increased in greater proportion than
funded debt, but in less proportion
than mileage.
