FOOTBALL PRACTICE.
Kansas University Men at Work Every
Evening.

Lawrence, Kan. Sept. 22.--The
Journal says:
Football scrimmage work has begun
at the University of Kansas and every
evening this week the scrubs will try
for half an hour to push the ball to-
ward the varsity goal. Last evening
the second team did very we'll and
several times Miller. Wilson and Ahl-.
born slipped around the ends for good
gains.
The varsity team that plays next
Saturday with William Jewell will
probably be made I'D of these men:
Pouse, left end; Donald. left tackle;
Reed or Pingry, left guard; Milton,
center; Heinzman, right guard; Brun-
ner, right tackle; POoler, White, For
ter or Nelson, right end; Pooler, Hart
or Wilson, quarterback; Myers, left
halfback; McNaughton or Waring,
fullback; Warning, Miller or Hart, left
halfback.
Pringy is new acquisition. He was
In school last year but did not play
football. He weighs 1875 pounds and is
good man to stop line charge.
Nelson is another new man who seems
to be getting his hands on an end posi-
ton He is al muscle and is built so
that he can handle himself nicely. He
played few years ago on the Kansas
State Agricultural college team.
Forter is rapidly getting to be a
wonder in the kicking line. He is
-punting the ball fifty yards without
any trouble His ability to boot be-
tween the posts has not yet been tried.
He will probably get a chance to try
some place kicks in Saturdays game.
Pooler can always be depended upon
for any place kicking under forty
yards and he will be used most of the
time.
The eligibility committee is wreck
ing the hopes of Coach Kennedy. AS
soon as new man appears and
makes himself valuable the registrar
suddenly discovers that he only had
two years of German in the high
school and therefore he will not be
eligible to play football until the con-
dition is made I'D Parents are often
in the way. Stricken. the man who
had the position of left guard without
trying, with drew yesterday on account
of parental objections. The freshman
team is in fine condition for it's game
with Lawrence high school Friday. Big
men are getting out and the team will
average $50 pounds. A valuable man
arrived today. He is Jennings, a Clay
Center boy, who played on the st.
Johns Military academy team two
years. He weighs 100 and will fill a
hole at guard.

HEAVIEST RAILS TO BE USED.
n. Y. Central Plans to Spend $5,OOO,-
600 in ReIaying Track.

The management of the New York
Central lines has decided to relay all
main lines with 10O-pound steel rails
With this end in view orders have al
ready been given for $4,000 tons of
rails. and a total tonnage of 10000
tons, costing more than $4,70O,OOO,
viii be required to complete the work
1t is the purpose of the company to
equip two tracks Between New York
and Chicago over the New York Cen
trail and Lake Shore roads with the
100-pound rails and one and two
tracks on the Michigan Central be-
tween Chicago and Buffalo, and at
least one track on the Nickel Plate
main line. Vice President w. c.
Brown stated yesterday that the rea-
son for the change in the weight of
the rails is to be found in the fact
that the lighter rail will not stand the
shock and the pounding of the NAM
moth locomotives and of the heavy
equipment.
The company is paying $3.50 per
ton for $4,000 tons of rails ordered
in Canada. The Canadian makers add
to the price of their rails the tariff,
which is now S7.S5 per ton. Accord
ing1y, while the management is pay
ing $28 a ton for rails laid in the
United States on the Michigan Cen
trial, it is paying $3.50 for rails laid
on the same road in Canada.

Their Rights of Way Conflict
and Trouble Is Expected.
Gossip and Matters OF Interest
in Railroad Circles.

Portland. Ore.s Sept. 22.+The Co
iumbia Valley Railway company was
incorporated in 1889 for the purpose
OF building a road down the north
bank of the Columbia river directly
south of Goldendale. in Klickitat
county.
This road in 1902 obtained a right
of way over school section in the
vicinity of Cape Horn and now makes
its first application for additional right
of way since that time. The Portland
& Seattle company this week obtained
an easement for right of way
through the same section, the plat
showing the location of the road sew
of way of the Columbia Valley road.
The Columbia Valleys application
nied yesterday is for a right of way
apparently as close to the waters edge
as d road could be built.
The suspicion is raised that the Co
iumbia Valley railroad is an opposing
company that is attempting to head
off or make trouble for the Portland
road secures the right of way applied
for yesterday the Portland & Seattle
must cross its tracks between that
point and Cape Horn and run to the
north through the school section re-
ferred to.

been formed to build down the north
bank of the Columbia river from Ken

sistent with previous accomplishments
of J. ]. Hill to fail in an undertaking

other hand, the Hartman interests are
equally determined to place every

PASS EVIL IN ITALY GREAT.
Government Roads MuIct the Masses
so the Glasses Can Ride Free.

Government Roads MuIct the Masses
so the Glasses Can Ride Free.
In view of the agitation that is de-
veloping in this country against the use
of railroad passes by public officials it
is interesting to learn of conditions of
this sort that prevail IN countries that
operate their own railroads Italy is
one of these and a correspondent of the
London Morning Post writing about the
pass evil in that country says that when
the conductor in an italian train comes
to examine tickets all sorts and kinds
of mysterious looking documents are
produced by passengers, quite different
from the simple piece of pasteboard or
coupon for which the foreign traveller
has paid full face value.
"If the foreigner makes inul1iries he
viii discover that quite a large proper
ton of his fellow travellers have not
paid anything like the full fare, owing
to some privilege Which they have OBJ
tanned. Thus, first there are the SEN
ators and the sos deputies. who pay
sera, franks them over the Italian lines.
Not content with the privilege, which,
now that the railways belong to the
state, constitutes a. direct burden on the
taxpayers, some deputies are demanding
free passes for their wives and families.
AS a minimum these gentlemen ask an
indulgent, but not over grateful, 4coun-
try to allow them so kilos (112 pounds)
of free luggage (there is no free luggage
in Italy), and three free passes a. year
for their wives and children. Next come
those journalists who are allowed three
tickets a year at a. reduction of from 40
to so per cent according to distance.
Then there is the noble army of railway
inspectors. who travel free, the officers
and soldiers who pay only one-quarter
of the proper fare, the civil employees
of the government and their belongings
who enjoy a reduction of 40 to 60 per
cent Free, or partially free, tickets are
granted at times by means of backstairs
in glence to persons who have supported
the Institutions by their votes and in
fiuence at the last general election, and
who are thus rewarded at the cost of
the whole country for their devotion to
the party in office. Small railway Off
Gals, stationma sters at roadside sta
lions, and their wives have similar
privileges, so that the sums which the
lines lose in this way in the course of
a year are enormous. On the other
hand the fares in Italy for the bona
fide traveller in which class all foreign
ers are included, are higher than. in any
other country in Europe, especially for
short distances, such as from Rome to
Frascati Add to this the fact that the
italian tariff for luggage is much higher
than that in Austria and Bavaria, and
it will be seen how much the public
which really pays lis, muleted for the
benefit of certain classes"

STOMACH DISTRESS
MANY PAINFUL SYMPTOMS CAUSED
BY POISONOUS GASES.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills Tone Up the
Digestive Organs, Restore Nerve
Force and Cure Indigestion.

When the stomach is feeble the food
lies in it undigeSted, decays and throws
off poisonous gases that diStend the
walls of the stomach and cause inter-
ference with other organs, especially
with the action of the heart and lungs.
These gases have other ill effects.
They are absorbed by the blood and.
corrupt it and so cause aches in re-
mote parts. of the body and the for
nation of unhealthy tissue every
where. General bodily weakness. and
loss of weight result. The nerves and
the brain are disturbed and discom-
forts, such as dizziness, hot flashes,
sleeplessness, irritableness and de-
spondency originate from this source.
The experience of. Miss Minerva c.
Ladd. Of Ipswich, Mass, will prove
helpful to many. She has just recov-
cred from stomach difficulty that
made her wretched for many years.
Miss I1add says:
"I had a weak stomach from the
time l was a little child. Whenever L
took hearty food it would cause ter
vomit what I had eaten. At times
there would be the most intense pains
through the upper part of my body.
For days in succession, would nave
to lie down most of the time. If l got
up quickly my head would feel so
dizzy that I would have to sink back
on my bed and rise again very slowly.
The distress was often SO great that
and violent belching spells were very
disagreeable, too.
"ForSS many months I had a good
physician who did what he could. He
told me that not only the belching, but
also the pains through my body, were
caused by an excess of gas in my
stomach. Sometimes his medicine
gave me relief. but it was only tenn
porary. Finally, began to lose flesh
rapidly and it was thought I was going
into consumption.

similar to mine that had been cured
through the use of DIR. Williams Pink
Pills and I got a box. Within three
weeks a decided improvement was
noticeable. The belching spells were

body were not SO intense, my food was

BIG FIRE IN sNowsHEDs.
Explosion of Gasoline Causes Large
Loss to Southern Pacific.

San Francisco, Sept. 22.-According to
reports received at Southern Pacific
headquarters in this city, a long section
of that company's snowsheds at Crystal
Lake, Cal, with a number of cars and
two stations were destroyed by fire last
night.
When Brakeman C. H. Brown opened
a car door preparatory to unloading
some freight for Crystal Lake station,
an explosion occurred in a car laden
with gasoline. The car caught fire and
the flames soon spread to the snow
sheds Six Quitting cars with carpen-
ter tools and ten empty boxcars were
burned. snowsheds about $500 feet long
were reduced to ashes and the block
house and water tank at Crystal Lake
were destroyed. Brakeman Brown was
burned about the head and face and
was taken to the Sacramento hospital
for treatment. Eastern trains have been
delayed, but the line will be open this

really hair raising, particularly to
new man. Just now the big farmers out
there are blowing and they use traction
engines, traversing immensely long fur
rows. To rush things many of them
work all night shifts lighting their way
with large headlights. At a little dis
lance these exactly resemble the head
light of a locomotive. When the boys
drive around curve and see. one of

Judge John f. Phillips of this city, in

its answer admits that an arbitrary
rate was charged for switching cars
at Chicago, but denied having had
knowledge of the alleged fact that the
Illinois Northern was controlled or

vester company. The petition asserts
that it is customary for all railroads to
pay connecting lines upon which a
large amount of traffic originated an
arbitrary division of the through rate.
