Olmstead stood on the uneven plat
form Of the desolate little station
watching the red lights on the rear end
Of the local grow fainter and fainter in
the bleak twilight. At regular intervals
up and down. the platform smoky kero-
sene lanterns made dull splotches Of
yellow in the gloom, and here and there
the target lamps Of the switches show
ed feeble colorings Of red and green.
The lights on the local disappeared
around curve, and Olmstead swung
about to survey the barren little sta
ton, turning up his coat collar as he
did so, for tie night wind had a chill
breath of frost in it.
Drawn up by the station was sorry

Rose Case in Supreme Court.

Washington.-A case of notable in

Court of the United States Monday.
1t was that of W. w, Rose of Kansas
City, Kansas, against the state of Kan
sas on writ of error from the SUI
preme Court of the state of Kansas.
Rose was mayor of Kansas City. On
allegation that he was enforcing the
liquor laws of the state. proceedings
were instituted against him and the
Supreme Court of the state ousted
hlm from his office. An election was
held tochoose his successor and he was
reelected. When he again assumed
the duties of his Office he was cited to
appear before the Kansas Supreme
Court for contempt of court He was
sentenced to pay fine and be impris-
oned. He took an appeal to the Su
preme Court of the United States,
which was granted some time ago by
Mr. Justice Brewer, and the case was
filed Monday.

BOUGHT BY SANTA FEE.
Arkansas Valley Sugar Road Changes
Hands.

Denver.-A Republican special from
Rocky Ford, Colorado, says: II seems
definitely settled that the Santa Fe
has absorbed the Arkansas Valley rail
road. While resident officials of eithel
company will not give out any positive
information, it is nevertheless fact
that the deal has been closed.
The Arkansas Valley road is being
built by the American Beet Sugar
Company from Rocky Ford to Lamar, a
distance of sixtyfive miles. The line
is now completed to Shelton, an ambi
tious new town in the western part OF
Holbrook valley, eight miles east Of
Rocky Ford. The grading is completed
to Horse creek, twenty-five miles east
of here and much work has been done
along the line entirely to Lamar. From
Shelton to Las Animas the survey OF
the Arkansas Valley road and that OF
the Holly & Swink road are parallel
and both are parallel to the Santa Fe
at distance of from five TO ten miles.
The acquiring of the Arkansas Valley
road by the Santa Fe means the aban-
donment of one of the new lines, as the
Holly & Swink road has been a Santa
Fe proposition from the start.

PHYSICIAN SAYS
Children Thrive on Grape Nuts and

A Mass. physician has found cure
for constipation in children - citing
fifteen cases-by feeding them Grape
Nuts.

How much better 1t is thus to bring
about healthy action in the bowels
of growing children by natural means,
than to feed them with improper food,
requiring some kind of cathartic at
intervals to overcome constipation.
Grape-Nuts gives energy to the en-
tire nervous system including the
nerves that cause the natural con-
traction and relaxation of the bowel
muscles, that propel the food mass
along.
! 1t is predigested also, and the blood
easily absorbs the food as 1t goes
through the body, storing up vitality
and force for the functions Of all the
organs.

right start as to habits OF living
They should grow into bright, strong,

Of exercise in chewing firm food, is
necessary to grow strong, beautiful

Teeth need exercise just the same
as muscles, IL they are to grow
strong and firm as nature intended.
Grape-Nuts gives the exercise and
also gives material from which good
teeth are made.

COOPERATIVE COMPANY.
Live Stock Growers Will Open Com
mission Houses.

CHEYENNE, Wyo.-The Cooperative
which was organized in Denver last
May as a result of the efforts of COM
mittees from the National Wool Grow
ers' Association, the American Ma
tional Live Stock Association, and the
Corn Belt Meat Producers Association,
is getting ready to open houses in Kan
sas City, St Joseph and Chicago.
Since this independent commission
company was launched in Denver in
May, its officers have been busily en-
gagged in taking in new members, is
suing stock, etc, and getting ready to
do business at the markets. Rather
than put in new houses, for one of the
chief troubles has been that of too
many commission firms, the Cooper
ative company decided to buy out old
established firms, and as a result the
work has been slow. At Kansas City
the business of the Burnside-Jardon
company was purchased. At St Joe
the business of Blanchard & Ehrke was
bought At Chicago the Sieh & Prit-
chard company was acquired and
houses win be opened at Chicago, Kan
sas City and St. Joseph September
1st
A. L. Ames, president of the Coop
erative company, will have charge OF
the Chicago house, with j. c. Eastes,
formerly with Clay Robinson G. CO..
as sheep salesman. A. p. Hosmer, now
with the Knollin Sheep Commission
Company at Kansas City, has been en-
gagged by the Cooperative company
and will be the leading sheep sales
man at Kansas City. AT st. Joseph and
Kansas City the heads of the firms
bought out will be retained in the SER
vice of the Cooperative company.
Solicitors are in the field and large
number of sheep, cattle and horsemen
throughout the West are taking stock
in the Independent concern. In the
central West and East the feeders are
becoming stockholders. There appears
to be no reason why the independent
company will not be success. 1t will
sell cattle and sheep and hogs at the
old rates in effect prior to the raise of
81 a car levied by the stock exchanges
during the early part of this year
With the best talent to be had as
statesmen the Cooperative company
claims it will simply be a question Of
time until the other commission houses
will be compelled to restore the old
rates of $40 a double-deck car or go
out Of business.
The committees from the wool grow
ers and cattlemen that inaugurated
the independent commission house
movement were appointed at the Den.
