san Francisco Fire May Cause Loss
to Kansas PolicyElolders.

Two Of the big fire insurance COM
panies having headquarters in san
Francisco carry a very extensive Kan
sas business, and the collapse of these
companies would cause q good deal of
loss among Kansas policyholders.
The Fireman's Fund has about $5,-
000.0 business in Kansas, and the
Home Fire & Marine has about ST.
600. 600 Both of these concerns have
been regarded as among the best and
most substantial in the country, but of
course very few insurance companies
are able to Withstand such a terrific
loss in their home town as is involved
in the San Francisco disaster. After
the Baltimore fire there was trouble
among the big insurance companies
having headquarters there, and some
of them failed.
The last statement of the Firemen' s
Fund Insurance company on file with
Insurance Commissioner G. H. Luling
makes the following showing.
Capital, $1,000.000: assets, $6,957,-
244; income for 1905, S4.179,784;
amount of insurance in force, $415,-
296.429; risks written in Kansas dur
ing the year, $3.50. 302; premiums re-
ceived in Kansas during 1905, $31.198;
losses paid in Kansas IN 1905, $21, $40.
The statement of the Home Fire &
Marine is as follows: Capital $500
600: assets, $1.S27.435; income for
1905, $1,227, OPT; insurance in force,
S122,o30,842; risks written in Kansas
during year. S507,133: premiums re-
ceived In Kansas during year 1906.

Homer c. Bowman, who is agent in
Topeka for the F'ireman's Fund, said
this morning:
Il have heard nothing from the
company which 1 represent, and there
fore conclude that they are able to
stand the shock. I went ahead this
| morning and wrote $4,000 insurance
IN the company on that supposition
The F1reman's Fund has surplus Of
about $3,000,000, and I believe that
this will cover It's losses There is also
an unlimited liability on the stock
holders of the company. There are
about so companies doing business in
San Francisco. and While of course the
local companies are likely to be the
hardest hit, I think that the F'ireman's
Fund will probably get off with losses
within its surplus"

ELEVATION WORK TO BEGIN.
Railroads Through South Chicago
viii Spend S5,00O,OoO.

More than $1,000, 600 worth of track
elevation work will be commenced this
spring in South Chicago. The various
railroads running through that section
Of the city have now agreed upon the
shares of the work which each will
assume and all are expected to accept
the ordinances passed by the council
almost a year ago Besides this an
ordinance will be introduced by Alder
man Moynihan a the next meeting of
the council providing for almost ST.
000,0 600 of additional work in the ele-
vation of the Rock Island and Belt
Line yards as far south as Stony

railroad engineering work ever ac-
complished in Chicago and will make
safe dozens of grade crossings which
have collected annual toll in dead and
Injured people aggregating several
hundreds during the past ten years.
Among the features of the elevation
viii be the raising of the Pennsylvania
and Lake Shore tracks thirty-two and
one-half feet over the tracks of the
Rock Island. Baltimore & Ohio and
Belt Line roads, which will be eIe-
waited sixteen feet at Ninety-f1fth
street or Rock Island junction. The

UNION DEPOT ron SAUNA.
Rock Island Wants One. But VIII Build
New Station ANYWAY.

Salina, April 23-The Rock Island
Will build a new depot in Salina If it
cannot succeed in getting the other
reads to go in on a union depot. There
has been rumors to this effect but this
is the first time an official announce
ment of such intention has been made.
When some of the officials of the
road were here on an inspection trip
few days ago they did net even so
much as look at the depot now opera
ted by the Pock Island in this city,
and hence gave the impression that the
idea of a new depot was not even en-
tertained. On the contrary the officials
stated that they had no reason to look
at the depot as all arrangements have
been made for a new one to be built,
provided a union depot is not erected
in this city.
The Rock Island has been foremost
in endeayoring to have a union depot
in this city. The officials We're in this
city for that express purpose several
times. The officials realize that the

VIII Be Used on Narrow Gauge Line
Near Silver City.

Albuquerque, n. NJ, April 2s.-Two
freak engines for the Silver City and
Pinos Altos narrow gauge line caused
a good deal of attention at the local
station yesterday. They were loaded on
fiat cars and bound for Silver City from
the Lima Locomotive and Machine
company (Limited) of Lima, Ohio. On
each side of the engine are three YER
ticaI cylinders whose pistons engage a
long rod running the entire length of
the engine and tender. This rod or
shaft has cog gear which in turn en-
cages two sets of cog wheels The en-
gines on each side of the boiler work
just as marine engines. and the whole
plan of the machine is similar to the
beve1 gear in chainless bicycle.
Quite q crowd of the curious gathered
to look at the strange looking machine
last evening.
Each engine is about thirty feet
long and it is said they are wei fitted
for the steep grades and sharp curves
of q mountain line like the Silver City

An eminent physician says that
'sWomen are not truthful; they viii lie
to their physician, This statement
should be qualified; women do tell the
truth, but not the whole truth, to a
male physician, but this is only in re-
gard to those painful and troublesome
disorders peculiar to their sex.
It is a terrible ordeal to delicate,
sensitive, refined woman to be obliged
to answer certain questions when those
questions are asked even by her family
physician. This is especially the case
with unmarried women.
Is it any wonder, then. that women
continue to suffer and that doctors
fail to cure female diseases when they
cannot get the proper information to
work on2
This is the reason why thousands and
thousands of women are now CORE
spending with Mrs. Pinkham. To her
they can and do give every symptom,
SO that she really knows more about
the true condition of her patients,
through her correspondence with them,
than the physician who personally
questions them.

peculiar to women, write at once to
Mrs. Pinxham. Lynn, Mass, and she
will advise you free of charge
The fact that this great boon, which
is extended freely to women by Mrs.
