most Newton people realize. Although
it was given out that the building
would cost SIS, 600, it is very apparent
that this figure will cover hardly more
than a third of the entire cost of the
plant. When the building is finished,
the apparatus in place, and the pipes
all laid. an outlay of $4,000 will no
doubt have been made. The Pintsch
gas people have 70 such plants in the
United States. OF these. they operate
about 50, the others being run by the
railroad lines alongside of which they
are built. Newton is one of these IA
vored seventy.
The building is built to the roof, the
big steel Orders for which are resting
on a fat car near by, ready to be
unloaded. The corrugated sheet iron
of which the roof is to be constructed is
expected every day. The building it
self measures 35 feet by 70 and the
walls are Is feet high. The engine
room is at the west end of the plant,
separated from It by a brick wall. The
engine room Will be IS by 80 feet with
II foot walls.
The establishment of this plant
means a great deal to Newton. It viii
be a big acquisition to our manufac-
turing interests and will give employ
ment to quite a number of men. It
VIII also add to Newtons ever increas-
ing Importance as a railroad center.
Incidentally, it knocks the props out
from under Hutchinson's fond hope
that the shops and division headquar-
tiers will ever be moved from here.

BORING RATION MOUNTAIN.
Santa Fe Engineers start Work on the
New Tunnel


Ration. n. NJ, June 29.@Actual
work has been started by the engineer
ing forces of the Santa F'e in making
the preliminary bore for the tunnel
which win lay out a route through the
heart of the great Ration mountain.
Fer several years this new tunnel
has been under consideration Now it
is going to be built, furnishing the
surest evidence possible that the big
system expects the business on its
mountain line TO continue its present
phenomenal growth. The new tunnel
is to be lower down in the big hill It
is to carry a double track which has
now been completed up to the old
tunnel on both sides, and will cut an
enormous slice off the grade as well
as double up the running time over
the mountain.
The diamond drills with which the
bore is to be made have been placed
and the actual drilling will begin at
once. How long it will require to com
plete the preliminary work is a ques-
ton depending entirely upon the con-
diuons encountered in the mountain
as the drill progresses. From the strata
in the old tunnel the engineers have a
pretty fair idea of what to expect, but
surprises are common in work of this
kind. The tunnel as proposed will be
one of the most important engineering
feats in the Rocky mountain region.

NERVOUS DEBILITY
DEPLORABLE CONDITION CURED
BY DIR. WILLIAMS PINK PILLS.
4 Scranton Woman Tells How She
Was Made Well and
Strong.

Nervous debility is the common
name for what the doctors term neu-
rasthenia. It is characterized by mem
tai depression. fits of the blues or
melancholy, loss of energy and spirits.
The patients eyes become duh. the
pink fades from the cheek, the mem
ory becomes defective so that it is diff
ficuit to recall dates and names at
viii. Some OF these symptoms only
may be present or all of them. The
remedy lies in toning up the nervous
system and there is no remedy better
adapted for this than DR.. Williams
Pink Pills.
Mrs. Jane J. Davies of No. 314 War
rem street. Scranton, Pa, says: Some
years ago I became greatly reduced in
health and strength and my nervous
system became so debilitated that I
felt WretcheG. I could not rest or
sleep well a night and woke up as
weary and ianguid in the morning as
I was when I went to bed. Ny head
ached in the morning and often there
was pain in my right side which was
worse when I sat down. My nerves
were on edge all the time, every little
noise bothered me and I was general

Then I decided to try DR.. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People. as my hus-
band had taken them with good re-
suits, and they did wonders for me.

no more headaches, 7 sleep we'll and
feel strong and able to do my work
Dr. Williams Pink Pills are the best
nerve tonic because they convey nour-
ishment to the nerves in the only way
that is in accord with the plan of ma
ture-through the blood. These pills
cured Mrs. Davies and they can do
just as much for every pale. weak.

esting Testimony In South.
New Orleans. La, June 29.-Testfmony
on oil freight rates affecting seven
southern states was taken yesterday by
the interstate commerce commission.
All the witnesses were independent oil
dealers.
NJ. W WilbOurn, secretary treasurer
of the National Refining company of
Memphis, Tenn. said that at Fayette-
vile his employer had been informed by
an OIL inspector that their oil must be
inspected at a cost of so cents a barrel
although it had been previously In
spected by a Tennessee inspector. At
Memphis, he said. he had caused the
discharge of an employee CT the Frisco
railway whom he accused of showing
bills of lading to Standard Oil agents.
In Arkansas, witness said, his statesmen
had been arrested by state oil inspectors
on charges that their oil was below
standard. These arrests had never been
prosecuted. The statesmen frequently
had been told that If they would leave
town there would be no prosecution. At
Walnut Ridge, Ark. witness said one
inspector had been also a distributor for
the Waters-Pierce Oil company At
present he said he has no complaint
against the Arkansas inspectors. OIL
shipments in Texas, Kansas, Missouri
and Indian Territory were also inquired
into.

Two COlored Men at Arkansas City
Saved Out a Case.
Among the assistants at the breaking
OF the captured saloons contents were
three or four young colored men of this
city, who had gone out to see the fun.
They fell onto 6. smart scheme and be-
gan to help break the bottles. They
were unable to find room to throw at
the tree which was being used by the
others, so they chose a couple of trees
in an opposite direction.
It happened that just beyond these
trees was a large pond of mud and wa
ter. The colored men began throwing
and they were poor marksmen. About
one bottle in eight would hit a tree and
be broken. The others few safely by
and landed in the mud unhurt. Wher-
ever one hit a tree. the man who threw
it called attention to it and their efforts
seemed 50 earnest that the others did
not get next to what was going on
until there was the major portion Of

Some one happened to tumble to the

colored men was declined. They waited

WESTERN LINES DISTURBED.
Going to Test Validity of Union Pacific
Elevator Contract.


Chicago, June 29.-Angered by the
threatened loss Of revenue due to reduc-
tiOns in grain rates, the western roads
have determined that either the inter-
state commerce commission or the
courts shall pass upon the validity of
the Peavey elevator contract with the
Union Pacific road. BY the terms Of
this contract the railroad allows Peavey
IL cents per 100 pounds for elevation
of grain at Omaha. This determination
was reached after the conference in St.
Paul. at which President Stickney re-
fused to take out his reduced grain
rates until the Peavey contract was
cancelled, and also after a notice given
by the Northwestern Of reduced grain
tariffs in Iowa and Nebraska.
The NorthwesJern's new tariffs. notice
of which was given today. make the
through rates on grain from interior
Kansas points to Chicago 1914 and Az
cents per 100 pounds. They also make
reductions in the Nebraska rates of
about IL cents. and further meet the
action of the Great Western by putting
in a 10A cent rate from Omaha to Chi
cago. Attorneys for nearly all the roads
except the Union Pacific declared in
conference that the Peavey contract is
contrary to law and should be abroga-
ted.

Kansas City, Mo, June 2s.-Joe Speck,
a Missouri Pacific passenger engineer
figures he has ridden more than 1000, coo
miles on passenger locomotives in his
thirty years service with the Missouri
Pacific In this count he does not count
the many thousands of miles of travel
on freight locomotives before he was
promoted to a passenger engine. His
run is now between Kansas City and
Falls city. a distance of 101 miles, and
If he had Travelled the total distance
over this route 1t would have been
equivalent to more than 5000 round
