DEVELOPING NEW FIELDS.
Pittsburg Coal Regions Are Being
Extended This Fall.

Pittsburg, Kan, Nov. 6@S. W.
Kniffin, of Kansas City, a prominent
coal man. is at the head of a new coal
company which will begin extensive
operations in this field. Mr. Kniffin
has secured options on 1000 acres of
coal land southwest of Mulberry with
good connections with both the Frisco
and Missouri Pacific roads, and opera
tiOns will be commenced in the spring.
J. n. Hodges, general manager of
the Pittsburg & Midway Coal COM
pany, has purchased eighty acres of
coal land lying one and one-half miles
north of Arma, on the Missouri Pa
cific, north of Pittsburg.
A coal sale somewhat out of the or
diEary has occurred at Coalvale. J. E.
Lewis of that place has sold to w. L.
Miller, Mulberry coal man, a three
foot vein of coal underlying a strip of
land eight feet wide and eighty rods
long close to Coalvale. The warranty
deed does not cover the surface, but
sells only this eight-fOot strip of coal.
The vein includes, presuming that it
is solid coal and without "horsebacks'
or faults" 1850 cubic feet of coal
in the strip. The strip sold for $25.
John Limb, a COalvale operator, has
purchased part of the coal property
of the J. r. Crawl Coal company at
Ccalvale- He has purchased fraction
over eighty-siX acres of land lying on
the east side of the Frisco railroad
from the Grove Coal company, the
consideration being about $4,000.

DOWIE PUZZLES RAILROADS.
Ohfcials Not Certain Whether He Is
Entitled to Rates.

John Alexander DOwie has declared
himself to be an apostle, but there is
doubt in the minds of several passen-
ger agents as to whether he is entitled
to a clergyman's half-rate- certificate.
The question has never been raised be-
fore, and DIR. Dowie has enjoyed the
privilege of paying only half fare upon
all the railroads in the country. AS he
has done much travelling in recent
years his clergyman certificate doubt
less has saved him much money.
The point raised by the general pas
senger agents is novel and may create
considera bic stir in the Central Pas
Senger association, where it is sched-
uled for discussion at the next meeting
to be held in Chicago. DR.. DOwie's po-
sitiOn as the head of the Christian
Catholic church seems to carry with it
50 many other duties that they would
seem, in the minds of the general pas
senger agents, to outweigh his duties as
a minister. Tie ss-gumenE SlSo viii
be made that his travelling is not all
done in the pursuit of ministerial work.
According to the rules of the Cen
trail Passenger association a clergy per

CAN DRINK IN MISSOURI.
Kansas City, kas., by Raising Taxes
Doesn't Require Joint Revenue.


Kansas City. Kas-. Nov 6.-The
tax rolls of WyandOtte county, now
I'm the hands of the county treasurer
show an increase in the revenue from
taxation this year over last year of
$124 230. This increase goes to the
city. state and county. The tax rolls
show that this city will collect $65,-
400 more from the taxpayers this
year tnan last year. This viii, to a
great extent, meet the deficit caused
by the cutting off of the revenue from
joint fines.
Mayor Rose estimates that the
joints paid to the city about 100000
year. The city no longer collects
that revenue.
In order to meet the deficit caused
by cutting off this revenue a com
mittee appointed by the mayor rec
commended that radical retrenchments
be made in the expenses of several
departments of the city government
1T was estimated that this would save
the city about $34,644 a year. That
added to the $65.4OO. would make the
city's revenue from legitimate sources
this year $1OO,044 more than last.
This viii more than Offset the $4,000
deficit caused by cutting off the joint
revenue.
This large increase in the amount
of revenue from legitimate sources
should place the city on a sound
financial basis so far as the running
expenses of the city are concerned, -
said Joseph Hoffman, tax clerk of
Wyandotte county.
The tax assessment for Wyandotte
county this year is $17,604,282. This
is an increase of more than one mil
lion dollars over the 1904 valuation.
The amount of money collected for
city county and state purposes in
Wyandotte county is s1,362.311. OF
this amount the railroads pay S109,-
sos; telegraph and telephone COM
panies, S3,463: the farmers, $91.21O;
citizens in Kansas City, kas., $802,-
100; the packers, bankers and public
service corporations. $355,6S2.
"In the event it was decided to
make a levy to meet the deficit
caused by cutting off the joint reve-
nue. the tax rate would have to be
increased 10 per cent said Joseph
Hoffman. tax clerk. at would make
an increase of only 81 in taxes on a
home worth $4,000"

a clOgged condition, they need only a
little help and they will right them
selves. Cathartics irritate the sensi-

and often do more harm than good.

thing to do is to put the food In con

BIG RAILROAD PROJECT.
Plan to Build a Line in Alaska 5000
Miles Long.

Los Angeles, Nov. alaska Will
have railway its entire length from
north to south and giving conlmuni-
cation with the outside world, if plans
which are being formulated in this city
are carried out. Harry White, former
mayor of Seattle is at the head of
the enterprise, which includes an ap-
plication to Congress during the com
ing session for a government subsidy.
The idea as outlined is for the govern
ment to guarantee bonds for the pro-
posed company, which is yet to be or
ganized for the purpose, the promoters
using the credit thus obtained to raise
the funds for building tEe line.
It is expected that Senator Samuel
W. Piles of Washington will father the
scheme in congress, and if successful
the enterprise viii involve an 'expehd-
iture of about %40,000.o0O. The road
as prOI osed will be nearly 5000 niles

While no woman is entirely free from
periodical suffering, it does not seem to
be the plan of nature that women
should suffer so severely. Menstrua-
ton is a severe strain on a woman s
vitality. If it is painful or irregular
something is wrong which should be
set right or it will lead to a serious de-
rangement of the whole female organ
ism.
More than fifty thousand women
have testified in grateful letters to Mrs.
Pinkham that Lydia E. Pinkham's 8

cape from distressing and dangerous
weaknesses and diseases

Vegetable Compound will do for
women, they cannot fail to bring hope
to thousands of sufferers.

The opportunity for the man of lit
fie means is probably better today in
the prairie states of the southwest
than ever before in the history of the
nation. The chance of pre-empting
claims or of taking up lands under
government laws is gone and will not
return again. It is different kind of
oIening which lies before the settler
and its promise is of exceeding bright
ness It's best opportunity is shown
in the great southwest where the
transformation is going on and where
the conditions of soil and climate is
in harmony with the warm skies and
temperate winds, To the man who is
not satisfied with his condition, the
southwest has an inviting future.
Along the lines of the Missouri.
Kansas & Texas railway there are vast
areas Of unimprOVed lands awaiting
Wiling hands to make them yield the
no41ntffuI crops of which the land is
capable There is a need Of stores
factories and new business of every
description. It is the finest kind OF
an opportunity in the finest section of
the United States. The southwest is
unexceIled for the variety and fer
filthy of its soilS-for its climate. It's
people are progressive and up-tO-date,
its religious and educational facilities
are as good as can be found elsewhere.
The NJ K & T. railway has no
lands for sale, but is interested in
building up this productive country.

EXPERIMENTAL ROADBED.
PENNSYLVANIA Engineers Claim to Have
Discovered Concrete Process.

An experiment is being made with a
new roadbed on the Philadelphia divis-
ion of the Pennsylvania railroad, which
is being watched with great interest by
railroad men all over the country.
A force of men has been put to work
laying concrete for the ballast, upon
which the ties and rails are laid. This
form of a roadbed has been tried by
various other railroads, and in each in
stance it has been unsuccessful. The
Pennsylvania engineers say that they
have discovered a new process in the
laying of concrete, which they declare
will overcome the former difficulties.
The chief virtue of the concrete is to
prevent washouts and destruction of
tracks by storms, to which cause SO
many wrecks have been traced.

Roosevelt Getting One to Use as

Weapon to Defend Rate Bill.
Washington. D. C. Nov. 6.-Doubtless
President Roosevelt thinks that in the
facts concerning the governments mail
contracts there viii be some ammuni-
ton that viii 1T his weapons. At all
events, when it became known recently
that he had called on Postmaster Cen
eral COrtelyou for an-exhaustive report
on this subject the immediate inference
was that the president is storing his
arsenal for the engagement he is to have
with the railroad interests of the coun-
try
The government pays about $40, 600, 900
annually to the railroads for carrying
the mails. The rate of compensation
now Is the same that it was fifteen or
twenty years ago, although in every
other respect the rate of railroad trans
portatiOn has been reduced within that
period This fact of itself has long been
set forth as Drina facie evidence that
the amount charged the government for
this service was excessive. Several ef-
forts have been made in congress to
have the subject investigated but al
ways without avail Not only is it as
serted that the rate is excessive, but it is
also asserted that the method of fixing
the charge amounts to fraud against
the government.
The railroads are not paid for the act
ua1 weight of the mails carried, but at
long intervals the mails are weighed for
a number of consecutive days, and the
average weight during that time has
been held to be a fair basis for calculat-
ing the compensation. It has been as
serted that at these particular times the
mails are heavier than they are at any
time of the year, and it has even been
charged that at those particular times
the much-abused documents and books
which the government prints and is un-
able to out off on anyone are thrown
into the mails in large volume, so that
the governments s own folly is used to
add to the cost of the bill that the rail-
roads present against it at regular in
teFvals.
There is a widespread belief that if
the subject is gone into exhaustively a
scandal. scarcely less malodorous than
the worst that the country has known
lately will result
An investigation made at any other
time would doubtless suggest that the
president is merely bent on reforming
an evil, but coming now. as has been
remarked, it has given rise to the be-
lief among all who have heard of the re-
quest that the president intends to use
it as a weapon to defend the rate bill
from the assaults of the railroad in
