EXTRA SESSION.
President Has Reached a De-
cision on the Matter.
VIII Call One IS Soon as Tariff
Bill Is Ready.
THE PARAMOUNT ISSUE
Regards Railroad Regulation as
Most Important Question.
VIII Urge Congressional Action
With All His Might.
THE PARAMOUNT ISSUE

Washington, Jan. 11-President
Roosevelt favors the earliest possible
action looking to a revision by congress
of the tariff. He so informed the SEN
ators and representatives who were in
conference with him at the White
House last Saturday, and he has made
plain his position to others since that
conference. He will call the Fifty
ninth congress into extraordinary ses-
sion as soon as the committees have in
dictated that they are prepared to sub
init a tariff measure for passage.
One of those present at the confer
ence on Saturday, said, in view of the
many conflicting stories published re-
garding the meeting, that the president
informed them that. while he did nor
believe in any sweeping revision of the
tariff, and would abide absolutely by
the judgment of the two houses of con-
gress, IN matter that related so par
ticuIarly to them, Yet he did think the
time had come when the schedules
should be thoroughly examined. and
there should be a readjustment as to
certain of them.
The president added that his own
view was that the special session
should take place at the earliest date
at which the committees of the two
houses could come to an agreement as
to a bill. If they took this view he
said, he would hold himself ready to
call the extraordinary session at what
ever time the members of the two com
mittees, and especially the house com
mittee on ways and means, should in
FORM him they would be ready with
their report.
If congress should act on the tariff
question IN accordance with the presi-
dents desire. it was made perfectly
plain today that the extraordinary ses-
sion would be called to assemble the
coming spring.
II mas been pointed out, however, by
the tariff experts of the house. that II
VIII require many weeks to prepare a
measure for submission to the house

on Good Terms.
In the light of recent reports of al
legged impending trouble between the
management Of the coast lines of the
Santa F'e railroad and the locomotive
nremen, something in the shape of an
authoritative statement from the fire.
men is of interest.
In the January number of the LOCO
NATIVE Firemen's Magazine Third
Vice Grand Master c. w. Maier, in his
report states as follows, which shows
the feeling between the company and
the men:
"On November II had the pleasure of
meeting with the Atchison, Topeka &
Santa Fe joint protective board, of
which Brother Thomas c. Hays of
lodge $40 is general secretary and treas
urer- The meeting was all that could
have been expected, and I appreciated
the pleasure of being present and ad-
dressing such a gathering of our mem
berS. This board has been and is doing
good work for the locomotive fremen
on the Santa Fe system. Only a few
short years ago our members were not
enjoying privileges such as they are to-
day on this line, and I hope that those
whom our board represents are appre-
ciative of the work being done in their
behalf. Should anything occur that our
protective board was made useless by
difference in wages and working condi-
lions would soon be made manifest.
One thing I wish to mention, and that
is the harmonious relationship that ex-
lists between the Santa Fe Railway
company and the members of our or
der. This is as it should be, and I
hope 1t will always continue so.''

Mr.. Bogue's division is now from

The new Santa Fe train No. 9 is
making a record by being always on
time although it has the fastest
train west of Chicago with the excep-
ton of the subsidized mail trains.
The Rock Island people predicted that
the Santa Fe could never make the
time with the new train but it now
develops that the Santa F'e is not only
able to make the time but is able to
cut it still shorter whenever occasion
demands. The train has six cars and
is given the right of way over all
other trains.

THE lungs were sore and inflamed,
I coughed a couple of hours every

"Peruna was suggested by some of
my friends who had used it, and act

ROOSEVELT DROPS 1T.
VVfthdraws His Endorsement of News
boys Magazine.

| Washington, Jan 11.-President
Roosevelt has Withdrawn a letter which
he wrote last March extending to the
American Newsboys' Magazine his
wishes for success. The withdrawal OF
| the presidents letter was announced
in the form of a letter which the presl-
dent wrote Saturday to Murat Balstead
who was the president of the company
which is to publish the magazine. At
ter quoting in full the letter which he
wrote in March to Colonel o. o. Stealey,
then editor Of the magazine, the presi-
1 dent said:
LAS you will note, this letter is couch
ed in general terms, but it has been
used to exploit this company. Certain
facts have come to me as to the char
acter of certain persons interested in
the corporation, as well as the methods
they have adopted for the disposal of
stock, which make me unwilling long
er to permit the use of my name in con-
nection with the enterprise. May ask
you to look carefully into the matter
and write me your views? I will not
have any letter of mine used in connec-
ton with any concern which is in any
way tainted, even though this letter re-
fers more to a general movement than
to any particular scheme. Sincerely
yours,
THEODORE ROOSEVELT"
In response to this letter, Mr. Hal
intended to withdraw from the com
pany. The president, in addition to
authorizing the publishing of the CORE
spondence, took steps to insure the
withdrawal of his letter of March.
Mr.. Halstead. who called in the pres
ident at the White House. issued a
statement in which he said:
MY business here was to give the
president information of the misuse Of
his name in a. company advertised as
a scheme of philanthropy. My reason
for this was that my name has been
abused in the same connection. The
president had found out the offensive
facts. and today announces that the
use in any form of his name or that of
a cabinet officer by the American News
boy company is forbidden.
c. T. Richardson, the secretary and
treasurer of the company, protested
against some of the methods of the con-
Germ and, in a statement issued, says
he was deposed from office. He retains,
however. the books. papers and funds
of the company and adds that he al
ready has taken steps to protect those
who have paid for their stock Mr.
Stealey resigned the presidency of the
company in October. basing his resig-
nation on the ground that he could not
agree with the way the business of the
company was being transacted.

Notes From DaIhart. Texas.

D. w. Mathews, connected with the
| legal department of the Rock Island
| at Chicago, was a Dalhart visitor Sat
urday and invested in several sections
of Dallam county cheap land.
The Golden State limited mail made
a good record the past week and was
invariably on time.
w. G. Eby, president of the R. R.
z. NJ. G. A. rooms, is making the as
ISOLATION very popular. Any period
icals addressed to the gentleman will
be properly placed for the benefit of
the employees in their rooms over the
postofice.
Isaac Klein, travelling passenger
agent of the Rock Island, located at
Chicago, came in with a car load of
emigrantS from the east Friday, To-
eating them on very desirable Dallam
county lands. Mr.. Klein was a guest
of Postmaster Clarke and W. B.
Slaughter of the First National bank.
A representative business mems meet
ing was held in the parlors of the
bank and gave Mr.. Klein a most
hearty welcome and royal entertain
ment.
Railway Postal Clerk c. c. Bull of
the Golden State limited, running be-
tween Ell Paso and Dalhart, who was
in the wreck of train A at the switch
back January 2, arrived Saturday on
his regular run. Mr.. Bull had very
narrow escape in the nnixup and came
out with no serious injury, but does
not care to experience a repetition of
the thrilling event
The Fort Worth e. Denver City road
is handling the heaviest business into
Dalhart in the history of the road.
Some fifteen hundred tons of Colo
RADIO coal are transferred here daily
to the Rock Island. Lumber, live
stock and merchandise from the south
find an outlet here and tax the motive
power to its limit. New storage and
transfer tracks are to be put in at
once to accommodate the large bust
ness. Since the conference Sunday
between the officials of both the Rock
Island and Denver people at Dalhart
renewed faith in the location of shops
and terminal facilities of the Fort
Worth & Denver City and Colorado
Southern at this point are freely ex-
pressed. One thing beyond a ques-
ton that is most paramount neither
the Rock Island or Fort Worth &
Denver City have within 10 per cent
of the necessary accommodations at
Da1hart to handle their business. The
number of railroad officials of every
department of each company could
not and would not use twenty-four
hours at Dalhart in secret consulta-
ton as they did over Sunday unless
the occasion was a most important

Catarrh of the Stomach.
A Pleasant, Simple, but Safe and Eff
fectual Cure for 1t.

Catarrh of the stomach has long been
considered the next thing to incurable.
The usual symptoms are a full or
bloating sensation after eating, accom-
panied sometimes with sour or watery
risings, a formation of gases, causing
pressure on the heart and lungs and
difficult breathing, headaches, tickle
appetite, nervousness and a general
played out, languid feeling.
There is often foul taste in the
mouth, coated tongue and If the inter-
would show a Shiny, inflamed condi-
ton.
The cure for this common and OBJ
stinate trouble is found in a treatment
thoroughly digested before it has time
to ferment and irritate the delicate
mucous surfaces of the stomach. To
secure a prompt and healthy digestion
when normal digestion is secured the
catarrhal condition will have disappear
ed.
According to DR.. Harlanson, the SAT-
est and best treatment is to use after
each meal a tablet, composed of Dias-
tase. Aseptic Pepsin, a little Nux.
Golden Seal and fruit acids. These
tablets can now be found at all drug
stores under the name of Stuart's DyS-
pepsia Tablets and not being a patent
medicine can be used with perfect safe
ty and assurance that healthy appetite
and through digestion will follow their
regular use after meals.
Mr.. R. S. Workman, Chicago, Ills,
writes: "Catarrh is a local condition re-
sulting from neglected cold in the
head, whereby the lining membrane of
the nose becomes inf1amed and the
poisonous discharge there from passing
backward into the throat reaches the
stomach, this producing catarrh of the
stomach. Medical authorities prescrib-
ed for me for three years for catarrh
of stomach without cure, but today I
am the happiest of men after using
only one box of Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets. / cannot find appropriate
words to express my good feeling.

Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is the SAT-
est preparation as we'll as the simplest
and most convenient remedy for any
form of indigestion, Catarrh of stonl-
ach, biliousness. sour stomach, heart
burn and hIoating after meals.

III. & II. c. Paid Rebates.

A. J. Butler, chief clerk in the audit
ing department of the Houston & Texas
Central, was acquitted the other day
bv a Jury at FL Paso of a charge of
embezzling $4,000 from the company.
He explained that the money had been
paid in rebates to large shippers, and
no account was kept of these sums, as
it was not desired to leave any record
bv which the money could be traced.
This rebating practice is a serious Of
tense under the Texas laws. being pun
ishable by a fine of $4,000 and it is
likely that the exposures which have
heen made by the accused man will
bring the railroad commissioners down
on the offending railroad company.

CrystaIized PoisonI

Your blood is always full of poison-the
poison you eat and drink and breathe into
your system It is the purpose of the
blood to absorb and carry Off this very
blood filters, are expected to cleanse the
blood and send it back through the gys-
tenn clean, to gather more poison which,
they, in turn, win eliminate.
But sometimes the kidneys fail. And
sometimes, from some other cause, the
not absorb it all. This is the start of
rheumatism The poison accumulates
ana crySCauzeS. The crystals look like lit
tie grains of sugar or q fine white sand.
The blood carries them and they increase
IN size Then, when IL can carry them no
longer, it deposits them in a joint~on a
bone-anyWhere.
The twinge in your leg-the dull ache in
your arm on g. rainy daY-these are the
outward signs Of the unseen crystals. And
the twisted limbs and unspeakable an
gu1sh of the sufferer who has allowed his
for years-these are the evidences of what
rheumatism, neglected, can do.
Rheumatism includes Iumbago, sciS6ica,
neuralgia, gout-for all these are the re-
suits OF rheumatic poison in the blood.
Plainly, the first thing to do is to re-
move the poison. But this is not enough
The FORMATION OF the poison must be
stopped, SO that nature may have a
chance to dissolve and eliminate the cr-ys-
tails which have already formed. Unless
this is done there can be no oure-no per-
manent relief

any physician could feel safe in prescrib-
1ng-something that we could count on
not only occasionally, but ALWAYS. For
the ravages of Rheumatism are every

Proceedings 10 Sci ASIDE Choctaw Sale

Little Rock, Ark, Jan. 1.-THE state
of Arkansas has filed suit in the Pu-
laski chancery court to set aside both
the sale of the Choctaw and Memphis
railroad to the Choctaw, Oklahoma and
Gulf railroad and the more recent sale
of the Choctaw road to the Chicago,
Rock Island and Pacific railway com
pany. The suit was filed by Attorney
General Geo. W. Murphy and United
States Senator James P. Clarke, rep
resenting the state. The three railroads
are named as defendants. The state
charges that the Choctaw and Memphis
railroad company had no power to sell
or lease its line to the Choctaw, Okla
homa and Gulf railroad company, and
the complaint alleges that the action
is brought for the purpose of asserting
and enforcing this defect Of power.
