No other female medicine in the

female troubles.
The needless suffering of women from
diseases peculiar to their sex is terrible

BLUFF after ALL.
Kansas City, Kansas, Saloons
Open This Morning.
Brewers Told Joints to Quit
Saturday III hit, Sure.
MUST HAVE BEEN JOKE.
Didn't Even Bother to Close
Front Doors on Sunday.
Custer Suits Up for Hearing in
Supreme Court Oct. %.

Kansas City, Kan, oct. 23.-From
all appearances the closing of saloons
which was ordered by the brewers is
not going to have any effect. A large
number of the saloons were open yes
terday in spite of the fact that it was
Sunday, and more of them will be open
today 1t is possible that some of the
"joints" will do a .back-door business
owing to the request of the brewers,
but it viii be but a few days until
everything is running again unless the
county or officials take action to close
the "joints." This, too, seems doubt
full.
1t was rumOred over a week ago that
the county attorney and the mayor
were going to get together and close
them with a view of having the custer
suits dismissed. 1t seems that the
county and city authorities have not
been able to get together.
A number of the saloon men say they
received no orders from the brewers
and that they will open today as OF
old. They are strengthening their be-
lief that nothing viii be done, and that
the storm has about spent itself.
The custer suits against Mayor Rose
and County Attorney Gibson will be
heard in the supreme court at Topeka,
October 27. If the officials of Wyan-
dOtte county and this city expect to
save their ScalpS by closing the 'jOints'
they will have to act before Friday.
The brewers own the majority of the
saloons in Wyandotte county and it
was thought Saturday night that their
order to close them would be effectual.
Not all of the saloOnkeepers have been
notified, however. and the order is not
considered general enough to be last

SHERIFF GOES TO THE FARM.
Oversees Threshing of Wheat to Secure
AlimOny Money.

Paola, Kas.. Oct 23.-The domestic
infelicity of John Smith and his wife
Dora has caused Sheriff Thomas Redd
to depart from the usual routine of
duty and to adopt the role of farmer.
He and his deputy, Anthony English
have been threshing to collect Mrs.
Smiths alimOny. About two years ago
the troubles of the Smiths, who lived
on a farm in the Marias des Cygnes
river bottoms, six miles southeast of
here, began. Mrs. Smith filed a suit
for divorce on the grounds of extreme
cruelty. She was granted a divorce
However, her husband was loath to
give up any of his possessions and car
ried the case to the Kansas supreme
court He gave bond to carry out the
order of the district court if the su-
preme court did not reverse the de-
cisiOn. The supreme court affirmed
the verdict of the district court.
Then Mrs Smith was forced to be-
gin suit on the bond to recover judg-
ment for s400. All execution was is
sued to force the collection. The
court ordered the sheriff to levy on
the wheat crop. After d hearing,
Smith was allowed to keep 100 bush
els. With his deputy Sheriff Redd be-
well until a horseshoe concealed in one
of the sheaves of wheat broke the con-
cave of the machinery, which caused
delay of two days. Finally the ma
nlHeiy was repaired and 115 bushels

to pay the costs of the execution, so
the sheriff was ordered to gather 100
bushels of corn to apply on the judg-
ment. This will be done next week.

cents over the ordinary rate, and
have several times ridden over the
Cuba road with ladies in my party
quite as comfortably as upon any rail-
road at home.
The pOrters and conductors of the
sleeping cars are yellow faced Cubans,
who speak broken English. The con-
ductOrs on the main lines are Cubans,
and there are neWsboys dressed in
suits of gray linen, who work the train
with papers and novels in Spanish and
English. Smoking goes on in all the
cars and after our breakfast at
Matanzas I noticed that the newsboy
puffed a huge cigar as he showed his
wares to the passengers.
So far there are no dining cars.
From 20 to 80 minutes are allowed at
the stations for meals, which cost from
SO to rs cents. There are also lunch
counters, and at nearly every stop
page peddIers bring fruit and eatables
to the car windows.

ENTERPRISES NOT LIABLE.
Licensing Joints Does Not Make Town
Responsible for Damages.


Abilene Kan, Oct. 23.-Judge
Moore has made an interesting de-
cision in the case of Sickles VS.. the
city of Enterprise. brought by Colonel
Little and c. e. Hugh.
The petition alleges that by arrange
ment of the city of Enterprise Monroe
Ginder ran a saloon, that Horace
Plaisted got drunk there and went out
and killed Clark SickIes who was un-
der arrest by the city marshal for some
minor Ofense. Mrs. Sickles, the boys
mother, brings suit and claims that
since the city licensed Ginder to sell
the whisky and the deceased was un-
der arrest in their charge. the city of
Enterprise is responsible and has sued
for $40, 600 damages
The city. by G. W. Hurd, demurred
to the petition. Colonel Little and Mr..
Hurd argued the law points. After
taking the case under advisement care
fully, Judge Moore finally sustained the
demurrer and ruled that the city is not
liable. This will be interesting in con-
neetion with the suit recently. brought
against Kansas City, Kan, under SINH
lar conditions. An appeal has been
taken and the case will be presented to
the supreme court. This is said to be
the first case of the kind brought.

NO CARS FOR THEIR CATTLE.
Kansas Ranchmen Can Find No Means
of Shipping.

Kansas RancIlmen Can Find No Means
of Shipping.
Kansas City, No, Oct 2s.-"There are
about one hundred and fifty carloads of
cattle being held for shipment along
the line of the Rock Island near Liberal,
Kan, with not a car in sight to move
them," said S. r. Myers. a cattleman
of Sabetha, Kan, who was here yester-
day. Mr.. Myers has about five cars of
cattle on the range near Liberal await
ing means of transportation.
@Some of the cattlemen have been
holding their stuff for several weeks.
They drove the cattle in from many
miles back on the range expecting that
they would be able to get cars soon.
Instead, they have been delayed. The
loss to them is necessarily heavy, but
the railroad company ydoes not appear
to be able to relieve the situation. My
theory is that the company has a short
age of motive power rather than a
dearth of cattle cars. There is great
deal of merchandise of one sort and
another on the move over that line right
now and in fact so much of it that ap-
parently the company can't find time
to handle anything else.
1.-THE ranchmen are viewing the situa-
ton philosophically. however. They
naturally regret that the conditions
aren't better When they bring their
cattle in to the stations for shipment
they expect to have it moved soon. But
when the company cannot do it, they
simply. put the cattle on the range along
the line and hold them until the cars
are provided. This means necessarily
a great deal of shrinkage but there ism
any other thing to do. Cowboys with a
camping outfit hold the cattle on the

against the proposal to increase the
percentage of power brakes.
The commission has carefully con-
sidered the present law and the regu-
lations and requirements as to safety
appliances as they are now enforced
under it. The conclusion was reached
that the roads should proceed to the
equipment of a much larger percent
age of their cars with power brakes.
Last July a cali was sent out to all
the roads to report to the commission
the percentage of cars now equipped.
Reports in response have been re-
ceived. The classification and sum
marization of these reports has pro-
gressed sufficiently to show that only
a few of the roads have been de-
linquent in complying with the safety
appliance act and that all of them
manifest an intention and desire to
comply with Che law.

CANNOT ROUSE HER.
Lawrence Young Woman Battles
Physicians Efforts.

Kansas City, Oct 2S.=Since Satur-

young woman of Lawrence, Kan, has
been asleep at the University hospital,
and all efforts to rouse her have failed.
She is being treated for ear trouble
by DR.. B. H. Zwart. who said last
night that he feared no imme ediately
serious consequence and that he had
not insisted on rousing the patient.
Miss Mccoy came to the office of DR..
James E. Logan Saturday morning for
treatment Her case was placed in
the hands of DR.. Zwart. and after the
treatment was given she did not re-
turn to Wakefulness. She was then
taken to the University hospital,
where she is still slumbering.
Reports from the hospital late last
night Indicated that she showed little
signs Of terminating the long slumber.

BOILER PRESSURE TESTS.
steam at 200 lbs. Is Too High for Best
Locomotive Working.

AsHICnAOGFC v
Under the patronage of the Carnegie
institution. Prof W. F. NJ. Goss has
been carrying out some experiments at
Purdue university with boiler pressures
in locomotives at go pounds. The ex-
perimental locomotive at Purdue uni-
versity was designed to carry pres
sure of 25O pounds the object being to
ultimately determine the logical basis
for esta blishing steam pressures in sin
gle-expansiOn locomotives. It has espe-
cially been desirable to determine what
loss of efficiency is sustained by operat-
ing at pressures under 200 pounds, as
compared with operation at 200 pounds
and over. The performance of the. To-
connective at $50 pounds pressure indi-
Gated 24.0S pounds Of steam consump-
tiOns per horse power per hour while
at 24O pounds pressure the average con-
sumption under eight different condi-
tiOns of running was 24.57 pounds per
hour, the best record being 1885, or only
% pounds better than with pressure at
$50 pounds. His conclusion is that
further increase of pressure above 1SG
pounds in locomotive service is not de-
sirable, especially in view OF the prac-
teal difficulties found in maintaining
all parts Of the locomotive tight under
the higher pressure. Only a small leak
in the boiler may waste a large amount
of water or steam in the course of an
hour. In these laboratory experiments
it was found impossible to keep the boil
er perfectly tight In testing at 24O

presented themselves and there was
also constant trouble with the injectors
and check valves. In spite of frequent
attention and cleaning the injectors
would fill up rapidly and some of the
check valves could not be closed again
in the course of a single test. Indica-
tions seem to point to the possible find
/ ing that even steam at 200 pounds pres
sure is too high for the. best locomotive
working in the bad-water districts Of

TO INVESTIGATE REBATES.

Takes Un Subiect.

kansas City. No, Oct. 23.-It is re-
ported that the federal grand jury,
which viii be in session all week, will
spend most of its time investigating
the subject of rebates by railroads.
Several government secret service
men have been in Kansas City for
some days and have been dividing
their time between conferring with
the United States district attorney and
gathering information. Rumor has it
that some men who have been active
in the Commercial club may be among
those who will be first to clash with
the law It is said that rebates have
been paid to many shippers, both in
the old direct way and in the more
modern fashion of paying for "dam-
aged goods.
