SMASH UP AT EMPORIA.
Cattiemen Slightly Injured in Santa
Fe Yards.

Two cattlemen were rather seriously
hurt and three others only slightly in
1ured on the Santa Fe in the Emporia
railroad yards early this morning.
Fifteen cattlemen eaSt-bound with
shipments of cattle were occupying
caboose which was being switched
about in the yards by a switch engine.
In attempting to couple the caboose
to the rear of an extra freight the
switch engine ran ahead with too
much force, humping the caboose
heavily into the car ahead and shak
ing the occupants up in a lively man
ner. Frank Abel, of Ashland, Kas.,
and A. N. Sanders. of Blodget, Mo-,
sustained a severe shaking up. Rob-
ert Hegel, A. w. Barnum and j. w.
Lewis were only slightly injured. The
caboose was badly smashed up. The
injured were removed this morning to
the Santa Fe hospital here in Topeka.
The Associated Press gives the fol-
lowing list of injured:
A. n. Sanders, Blodgett, Mo, stock
man, back and head hurt.

Threw a Rock in the Car.

Atchison, Kas.. Aug. S-The con-
ducror on the Central Branch put a
man off the train at Beloit because
he refused to pay his fare. AS the
train started to leave the platform he
picked up a rock and threw it through
one of the car windows, striking a
young lady on the head with such
force as to cut a terrible cash. The
wound was dressed as best it could on
the train and she continued her jour-
ney. She passed through Atchison,
stopping here only long enough to
make connections Word was re-
ceived later that the man had been
arrested.

Bitter, Black Bile and How Right
Food Corrects It.

BiIiousness, from incorrect food,
opens the way for an outfit of derange-
ments of not only the body but the
mind as we'll.
The world is a dark or gloomy place
to the victim, whether millionaire or
mendicant.
The wife of the head of a great in
surance Office in an eastern city, was
cured, completely, of this wretched
aff1iction by the use of Grape-Nuts.
She says:
"For years 1 was a constant sufferer
from biliouSneSs and extreme cOnStipa-
ton and 1 suffered from the most
sometimes lasted three or four days at
a time. Grape-Nuts food came to my
notice about five years ago. 1 liked it
from the first and began to use it be-
cause 1 liked it, without any thought
that it might help my health. To my
surprise 1 noted that after a short
time all my ailments began to decrease,
and they gradually but surely disap-
peared. 1 am now. and have been for
years, completely free from them and
enjoy perfect health.
Everyone in my house now eats
Grape-Nuts regularly, even my little
two-year-old girl likes it with her Pos
tum Coffee (another thing we are
never xvithout) and prefers it to any
other cereal. 1t pulled her through a
difficult period of teething during the
hot weather-she never refused Grape
Nuts when other food could not tempt
her to eat. 1t is the first food I intend
to give to my baby boy when I wean
him.
MY husband eats more Grape-Nuts
food at every meal than of any other
one dish. He says it never pals on
him, and he finds that it regulates his
bowels perfectly" Name given by

Astronomer Camille Flammarion's
plan, which he will present to the
French chamber of deputies making a
new calendar, which viii be perpetual,
has some good points about it, but,
even though the French, who are al.
ways attracted by something new and
different, should adopt it, it is hardly
likely to take the place OF the Gregorian
calendar, because nations are conserva-
tive about such things. The proposition
has some reasonableness in its favor
as it makes the year begin at the YER
nal equinox, March 81, and spring is
considered the natural opening OF the
year. Every quarter would contain two
months of 80 days and one Of 81 DAYS.
This would make twelyemonth 3G4
days long, and the inventor proposes to
provide for the 365th day by making
it fete day, not to be counted in any
month. This would give two fete days
every leap year. 1t would also bring
the same dates on the same days of the
week every year and thus obviate new
calculations. There is more reason in
VI. Flammarion's plan than in the re-
adjustment Of the calendar made at
the time of the French revolution. when /
the week was made to consist of ten |
days, the decimal craze being then at its
height. The year consisted of u months |
of 30 days each, leaving five days at
the end OF every ye2r and six on leap
years. These superhuoLs days were put |
at the end of the last morth, known as
complimentary days" and gwen to fes-
tivity. But the ten-week DAYS proved .
too long for human endurance. The 1
system lasted only IL years, from 1898
TO 1905, when the empire finally restored
the Gregorian calendar, which is gen
orally considered by scientists to get as
near to astronomical facts as human
can arrive.
