found lying alongside a track seriously
injured yesterday afternoon about so
yards south of the Second street via

where he had been talking with Po-
liceman Wyatt, about g o'clock and
was found by some yardmen at the
place mentioned about 4 O'Clock. He
was in an unconscious condition
He was lying near one of the
switching tracks with his face cut in
several places and five of his teeth
either knocked out or loose. His face
is cut about the mouth in several
places and under the chin. Mr.. Hell
wig does not know how the accident
occurred. but it is supposed that he
caught his toe on the rail and fell,
striking his face.
Twentieth Kansah regiment during
the Spanish American war, and after
his return he accepted a position in
the Office of the freight agent which
he held until 1908. when he was

about year when he was caught be-
tween two cars while making a coup
ling and had his elbow badly crushed

MYSTERY ABOUT SURVEYORS.
Corps Routing Line in Texas But
VIII Not Tell Who For.

Athens, Tex. April 3.=For the past
four weeks there has been a corps of
engineers in the field between this
place and Palestine surveying a line
for railroad The party is in charge
of H. L. Erasman, with seventeen
men, three teams and wagons. well
equipped for the task being per-
formed. They arr now about eight
miles north from here. going in the
direction of Canton, Van Zandt coun-
ty, having passed through Athens the
early part of last week, and on last
Saturday they moved camps to eight
miles this side of Canton.
There has been considerable specu-
lation by the newspapers as well as
by the citizens of this section, as to
the company they represent An ar
ticle in the Fort Worth Record a few
days ago expressed the idea that 1t
was the Missouri. Kansas & Texas
railroad company building from Dali
las via Athens to Palestine. This con
lecture, however, was made before the
line was completed to this place.
The Dallas News ventured a predic-
ton that it was the International &
Great Northern or the Texas & New
Orleans building from Palestine to
Athens; but this Thornwen Fay. vice
president of the latter road, denied any
knowledge of.
Some express the idea that it is the
Kansas City, Oklahoma & Houston
proposed line which Judge P. w Bean
was trying to promote year or two
ago; while others believe that it is the
Texas Short Line figuring on an ex-
tension from Grand Saline to Athens
and Palestine and to a connection with
the East Texas railroad at Kennard
in Houston county.
In conversation with Mr. J. T. La
Rue. president of the Athens National
bank he said: Nothing can be
learned from the parties engaged in
making this preliminary survey az to
what company they represent, fur: her
Kan they are employed by railroad
company that proposes to build a rail-
road from Paris to Houston, Texas
They evidently represent some com
pany that means business, as the
pains they are taking in getting the
best route through this country and
the expense Of making such survey
would not be incurred unless there
was some probability of the road be-
ing built.
Il am of the opinion that the sur
vey is being made by the Frisco &
Trinity and Brazos Valley combination
extending the Paris branch Of the
Frisco to q connection with the
Trinity & Brazos Valley at some point
between league and Houston. have
for some time thought that this ex-
tension would be made. as it would
give the Frisco the shortest line from
Kansas City to the gulf. In addition
to giving it the shortest line to the
gulf. it would traverse the best I'M
occupied territory from Paris to
Houston, in Texas; and whether I am
right or not in my prediction that this
is a Frisco enterprise, this territory
will be occupied by some railroad in
the near future, for it is only a ques-
ton of q short time when Texas will
be threaded with railroads from her
northern border to the gulf ports"

Eat Whenever
You Are Hungry
Old Theory That Ealing Except At
"Meal Time" Caused Bad
Health Proves False.

For long time many people have ar
gued that eating at irregular hours de-
ranged the stomach and that health could
not be sustained unless meals were taken
at regular periods. Many others have
maintained that the time to eat is when
we are hungry, and at no other time, for
(this is true) without an appetite the food
eaten can not be properly digested. And
now, at last, the discussion is ended.
One well known physician has recently
demonstrated, by the experience of his
own healthy happy children, that nutri-
t1ous. easily digested food is healthfzA no
matter when it is eaten, just so there IS
desire for the food.
Malta-Vita, the delicious appetizing,
perfect whole-wheat food, can be eaten at
any hour. day or night, at "nnealtime" or
other times, and always has a refreshing,
Strengthening, invigorating effect This is
because It IS so easily digested that all its
rich nutrition is quickly taken up by the
blood Even very young children, conval-
escents and confirmed inyaiids, are never
distressed by eating Nalta-Vita. A bowl
full with milk or cream whenever they are
hungry gives them all the needed nourish-
ment and never deranges the stomach.
It IS just as good for the well and strong
as for the sick and weak
MaIta-Vita is simply the whole Of the

tract. then rolled into wafer-like flakes

that physicians everywhere recommend It.
All grocers sell Malta-Vita- There Is
no other food SO good to eat. Now y

DR.. Snow Says It Was the Coolest in
Thirty-Nine Years.

est March in 80 years, but also the
only March which was colder than
either of the preceding winter months.
It was not only the cloudiest March,
but also the cloudiest month in the

taken at Lawrence. The snowfall was
10.2 inches, which is greater than in
any preceding March since 1878, when
it was II inches. The amount of east

vious record, amounting to more than
half the total wind. The rainfall and
wind velocity were normal, but the at
mosphere humidity was much above
the average.
The mean temperature Of the month
was 321 degrees. The highest temper
ature was $50 degrees on the 18th; the
lowest, 6 degrees on the goth. The

2.57 inches. Rain or snow fell in
measurable quantities on IA days, in
quantities too small for measurement
on two days. There were two thun-
der storms during the month. The

Mr.. Pepperman is the assistant chief
of the office of the Isthmian canal af-
fairs t. P. Shonts was reelected
president and John F. Stevens was
elected vice president and general
manager The report for the ten
months of the year 1905 UP to Oc-
tober 81, was submitted, showing that
the total earnings of the road for the
transportation of all kinds of traffic
exceed by 1902, 204, or 1877 per cent
those of ten months of the previous
year. The financial summary follows:
Total railroad earning for the ten
months period of 1905, $1,912,552 as
compared with $1,610,3 $40 during the
previous year. The total railroad ex-
penses for the ten months of 1905
were $l,213,610 as compared with

compared with $1,64O,579 for the pre-
vious period. Total net earnings 1851
672. as compared with $9O0,519 for the.
year previous.
Secretary Taft after the meeting
said:
The report of the Panama railroad
for the year past shows that 1t has
made great progress. Its earnings
nave greatly increased, and In fact
the road is quite unable to cope with
the business which is being rushed
over the line The road is being
double tracked for a distance of about
50 miles This will greatly facilitate
the operations of the company.
I'VE have got to point when it is
very necessary that some plan be
accepted for the construction of the
canal When some definite plan of
construction is adopted then the work
can go ahead with new vigor We all
nope that some plan will be passed
upon very soon by the government

HARRIMAN's NEW MAP our.
Shows the Lines of His System just
About as They Run.

A new map Of the Hartman system
of railways has been issued which is
unique among railway maps. 1t shows
the lines Of the various roads Just as
they run, not as straight lines devoid of
all breaks and sharp curves as is Gus
tOmary in the advertising and time ia
BILE maps made up by most railroads
It also shows the lines Of other sys-
TENS in the same territory in a way
that they may be followed with some
ease instead of picturing their own lines
to the entire disadvantage of all others.
Some months ago Mr.. Hartman told
his assistants that he desired them to
get up a map of his railways that
would show the lines as they actually
ran, because he believed that was the
proper way to make a railroad map
for the guidance of the public instead
Of straight lines that were misleading
