while the Senate will work today.
Later, on second thought the House
concluded to work also.
In the Senate a memorial was pre-
this being from the Methodist Con-
ference of North Carolina in favor
of a stringent divorce law for North
Carolina. 1t pointed out the evils of
hastily entered into marriages and of
loose and lax divorce laws which were
asked as the result. 1t held that once
married the burdens should be borne,
except for Biblical reasons, and that
these should be the cause for divorce.
Mr.. Scales, of Guilford, introduced a
bill to. allow the Governor $1,000 a
year for travelling and other expenses,

Independence, kas.. Dec. 12.-The
Prairie Oil and Gas company's figures
on the pipe line runs for the first
seven days in December show the
daily average to be 5O,429 barrels.
This is an increase over October,
when the average showed 1880. and
a decrease as compared with Novem-
Der when it was 51,0O4 barrels. In
October and November the balance Of
the month slumped and the figures
failed to maintain the high average
of the first seven days. There is rea-
son, however, to believe the rest of
December viii not fall down as did
October and November. one of these
reasons is that the deliveries are
larger now than they have ever been
before.
The total runs for the first seven
days Of December were 353.OO3 bar
rels, and of this amount 1879 bar
relS, or daily average of 1885 bar

I cannot withhold my acknowledgment
of the debt that 1 owe to Grape-Nuts

foods lack.

TO DEVELOP GULF PORTS.
Gould System Plans to Establish Line
of Steamers.

OF Steamers.
Reports are current that agents Of
the Gould system of railroads are in
vestigating the facilities possessed by
Galveston as an export gateway They
believe that there is no reason why eX-
port traffic originating west of the Mis-
sissippi or import traffic consigned to
points in that territory should not take
the gulf route. 1t appears, they say
to be the channel designed by nature
and the wonder is that its merits have
not been recognized long ago, and the
advantages it offers utilized.
It appears to be the intention of the
Gould interests to establish a line of
European ports. These win not only
carry freight, but will do their utmost
to develop to the fullest extent lmml-
grafton to southwestern territory.
It IS realized that the great obstacle
to the full development of the gulf
route in the past has been that until
lately there have been no regularly
established lines of steamers. The
ports long were wholly dependent upon
tramp steamers, and it only has been
within the last few years that any ef-
forts have been made to establish regu-
lar lines The plans of the Goulds are
regarded as significant They may re-
suit in embittering the contest now in
progress between the Atlantic and the
goulf routes, but the advocates and
patrons of the gulf route feel that in
the long run they Will win. Traffic,
they say, always flows in the channel
of the least resistance, and that
through gulf ports is the most ad-
vantageous in every way for the ter
ritory in question.

OKLAHOMA CITY's DEPOT.
Rock Island and Frisco Planning to
Build Union One.

Oklahoma City Dec. 12.-One Of the
most important announcements in To-
cal railroad circles is the contemplated
abandonment of the loop almost encir-
cling the city by which the Frsico en-
ters from the east. Following the COM
bination made between the Frisco and
the Rock Island there has been much
talk about union depot to cost not
less than $50, 600. A contamination of
this plan was thought to have occurred
about year ago, but nothing material
appeared, and the matter was lost sight
Of by local railroad people until last
week when B. F. Yoakum was elected
to the head of the Joint board of the
Rock Island and Frisco interests. The
office of live stock agent Of the Rock
Island, in this city, was abolished. as
were many other similar places at diff
ferent points. 1t was announced today
that plans had been drawn for the new
depot and that $780, 900 had been appro-
priated for the building of it.
For the past three days surveying
party has been at work in the eastern
limits of the city where the Frisco en-
ters, and it is said the intention is to
run the Frisco train into the city over
the Rock Island tracks, thus taking
over a mile off, which is through very
disagreed bic portion of the town. AS it
is now, the tracks of both roads parallel
with the exception Of one block, this
being from one station to the other The
advantage of such an arrangement is
obvious
The Frisco must run its trains clear
around the city from the east and come
in directly from the west, to within a
block of the Rock Island depot. The
Frisco's southwestern line runs west
ward along the Rock Island line to
the western limits of the city and tneh
turns to the southwest By coming IN
on the Rock Island tracks from the
crossing two miles from town, much
time would be saved. The whole propo-
sition is to be laid out on paper ana SUD
rnftted to the officials for approval, ana
in case it being favorable, work will be
commenced on the plan Immediately
The favorable turn taken in the terminal
condition since the success of the S45l, :
600 bond election for waterworks and
sewer is said to have had much to DO
with the decision of the Rock Island
in the proposed big move. 1t is OF
much Importance to the city also.

Envoy of AIikado Finds Much Here to
Marvel At.

Marvel At.
Pittsburg. Pa, Dec 12.-Eitaro Salzuma.
envoy of the DIikado and a member Of
Japan's council on railways. has arrived
in Pittsburg in the<course of his mission
to study the traffic system of America
His study here will be devoted particular
" to methods Of handling freight. He
will then go to New York to study the
handling of ocean freight. Mr. Salzuna
is an interesting representative of the
Samuria, the intellectual class of Japan
He said the other day: Originally had
intended to go to Europe to study rail-
roads but I changed my mind when it
came to my knowledge that it would be
a waste of time as Europe, like Japan,
is learning from America in railroad
matters. The movement of traffic here is
on so vast a scale that ours would seem
of tiny dimensions; but it is growing
rapidly Now that the war is over, the
Japanese railway system viii wonderful

the government which will help defray
the cost of the war.
zone thing which makes me marvel is
the system of expressage used in this
country but far supersedes our method,
which is really a cumbersome kind of
parcels post, for the postohice will ae-
cept bulky assignments which really
should belong in the class of express or
even freight I can see, too, where this
express business is a great money maker,
and I should like to do all in my power to
introduce it in Japan.

TWO no BE PARDoNED.
Well Known Guard House Prisoners
Earn Freedom.

LeavenWorth, Kan, Dec. 1.-TWO of the
most widely known prisoners Of the guard
house, John w. Britt and Frank H. Nos
ker, general prisoners, are to be given
pardons some time this month by the de-
partment commander and will be releas-
ed from confinement on January list.
Britt IS serving a seven years sentence
and Nosker a three years sentence for
taking part in d desperate escape con-
Quoted by four prisoners some time ago.
The officer in charge of the guard house,
the commanding officer and other officers
who have seen these two prisoners at
work have sent in their recommenda-
lions for a pardon for the two to the de-
partment commander and it is more than
likely that that officer will grant the re-
quest. They are to be released for being
model prisoners during their confinement,
no reports having been sent in against
them and besides this the men have won
the regard of all persons for whom they
have worked Even while in shackles
these two men worked faithfully on the
roads and did good work in the construc-
ton of the new Post exchange building.
