PRELIMINARY WORK TO BEGIN At ONCE
SYNDICATE OF FOREIGN BANK.
ERs FURNISHING THE CASH
FOR THE ENTERPRISE.

Pittsburg, Aug. 15.-Papers Of con
solidation of three railroads in differ.
ent parts Of Pennsylvania will be filed
at Harrisburg this week which will
constitute the formal announcement
OF a project of prominent foreign bank
ers associated with Joseph Ramsey,
Jr., former president of the Wabash
railroad, to build a low grade double
track railroad from New York to Chi
cago by way of Pittsburg, which will
cost about $3.50, 600, 600. Complete sur.
veys have already been made and it
Is expected that work preliminary to
actual grading and construction next
spring will begin this fall. 1t is ex-
pected that the road will require three
years to construct. 1t is contemplated
to operate with electric locomotives
from the beginning. 1t will be known
as the New York, Pittsburg and Chi
cago Air line and will be sixty-ive
miles shorter to New York than the
Pennsylvania and 10S miles shorter
than the shortest line between New
York and Chicago.
The Keystone Air line will traverse
the bituminous coal fields of Central
Pennsylvania, now controlled by the
Pennsylvania railroad, and will also
pierce the anthracite region through
out it's length. 1t will not only be the
shortest line through Pennsylvania,
but it will cross the summit of the
Allegheny mountains 400 feet lower
than the Pennsylvania and will have
very easy curves and remarkably low
grades for a mountain line.
Mr.. Ramsey confirms the above in a
telegram from New York to the Pitts
burg Dispatch. The telegram says the
information is correct. The cost of
the line between Pittsburg and New
York, Mr.. Ramsey says, is estimated
to be between $4,000, 900 and $780,
900, 900, all of which has been pledged,
the bulk of it by foreign capitalists.

FIND WANDERERS
ASLEEP IN BARN
MOTHER AND SONS SEPARATE
WHILE SHOPPING
older Lad Places Coat over Younger
and They Fall Asleep, Hungry and
CryIng-May Communicate
With Bakersfield

Charles Wilson. 10 years old, and
Arthur Wilson, 6 years old, were taken
to the detention home by Special OF e
ficer Fred Stellma cher last evening suf-
fering from hunger and exposure
After wandering about Los An
geles for two days Joseph Bine of
Farndale avenue found the lads in his
barn asleep Saturday.
From the older of the boys 1t was
learned that their father and sister
were supposed to be In Bakersfield and
their mother Is in the city.
Weak and trembling for the want OF
food the lads were led from their rude
couches In the barn to the house by
Bne. He kept the children all day
and attempted to locate the mother.
Toward evening the officer was called
to assist
The older of the two lads told the
searchers that his home was near
Eastlake park, but what street he lived
on he did not know. After making a
thorough search for the lads home the
boys were turned over to the police
for care.
1--WE were with our mother near
Hamburger's store" said Charles. I'm
some way we became separated from
her and at once we started for home.
For several hours we hunted for our
house, but were unable to find it. After
it became dark we went into barn
and went to sleep"
"Oh, yes, sir" responded the older
of the boys, 1--WE We're awfully hungry.
l did not mind it so much myself, but
brother was very. very cold and had
been crying. He finally went to sleep
after I had placed my coat over him
and pulled the hay up around so that
it would be warm. Then | went to
sleep.
I'm the morning a man came and
awakened us. Brother was very weak
and sick, but after we had our break
fast we felt better"
The lad did not know where he
could find any friends.
Inquiries at the police stations re-
vealed that no one had left notice of
two, lost children.
An effort will be made today to To-
cate the mother of the lost children.
The police will endeavor to commu-
nicate with Wilson at Bakersfield if
their attempts to find the mother fail.

HUNTERS WOUNDS ARE FATAL
Lieutenant Smith Succumbs to In
juries Sustained at the Lomlta
Gun Club

Gunshot wounds received while
hunting a week ago at Sunset beach
resulted in the death yesterday of Fred

engine company No. II.
A week ago yesterday Smith was on
hunting trip on the grounds of the
Lonita Gun club. On the return trip
Smith leaned over the side of the wagon

mer of his shotgun became entangled
in his shoestring with the result that
the weapon was discharged, the entire
contents entering the right side of the
unfortunate fireman.

years ago and served in the various
capacities of hoseman, driver and lieu
tenant. His family consists of a widow

JEOPAROEES THE
OWENS SCHEME
BOARD OF WORKS DEADLOCK
GROWS SERIOUS
Mayor Promises Letter to Council and
Public Monday, but Adverse Inter-
ests Are at Work Against
the Water Project

The mayors promised open letter to
the city council and the public did
not materlalze yesterday and 1t Is ex-
pected 1t will be sent to the council at
its meeting Monday morning.
The mayor practically promised this
much yesterday. He also intimate1
strongly that he would not accept the
compromise offered by the council that
each of the three civic bodies select n
list of names from which the board Of
works should be named.
This faint hope for a speedy settle
ment of the question has brought wor-
ried looks to the faces of the members
of the water board.
Superintendent Mulholland declares
that If the question is not soon settled
the interests of the Owens river scheme
will be seriously jeopardized.
The council has no authority to use
the bond money on hand for the pur-
chase of new options, wanted by the
city in the owens river valley, nor in
any way has it the privilege Of doing
anything whatsoever to further the in
terests OF the scheme.
In Boards Hands
At the beginning of the present cal
endar year the owens river PROPOSE
tion passed into the hands of the board
of works which was supposed to be in
Quoted into office on that day.
To get the owens river scheme be-
fore the attention of congress before
adjournment of that body is the aim
of the members of the city water
board in order that private interests,
which are doing all they can to hinder
the city's progress in the valley, may
be. made to change their actions, but
this cannot be done until all the city's
options are closed, and they cannot
be closed without board Of public
works.
While the appointment of the board
is delayed private corporations and
persons are doing their utmost to un-
do all that has been done in the valley.
The city practically has all the op-
tons that it needs for it's purpose, but
land cannot be held indefinitely on
options and there are persons eagerly
waiting for these options to expire
Some of the land has been bought out
right, but there is not enough Of this
tC serve the city's purpose.

Followed DR.. Hartman's Advice

Mr.. John C. Nelson, Dayton, Tenn,
geologist and mining engineer, while a
captain in the Federal army during
the civil war, contracted case Of
rheumatism.
This maiady was constant and per-
sistent, inducing the development OF
other ailments, which also became
chronic. After taking course OF
Peruna, Captain Nelson writes:
Having been painfully afflicted with
chronic rheumatism and the adjunctive
complications for many years, and
after having received many general
and special treatments with only tenn
porary relief l read your sclentlnc
treatise on catarrhal diseases.
"At my request you prescribed for
me a special course of the Peruna
remedies, which 1 closely followed. and
am happy to report that my rheuma-
tism and complicated ailments are sub
dued, and 1 feel young again at the
age of siXty-nine years.
1.Renson will accept your classification
of catarrhal diseases as scientific and
true and the Perunn remedies ms n
standard treatment for them.
"I thank you heartily for your skilled
and logical advice"
Mr.. James D. King, Alamo Hotel,
Colorado Springs, Colo, member YOU
mans of America, writes
II had to come here on account of
lung trouble and found that my re-
covery was very slow.
"a friend suggested that I try Pc
runa and 1 did so. I began to improve
very rapidly and I kept right on using
it. In four months my lungs were all
healed and my cough all gone. I feel
that much of the credit is due to
Peruna and 1 am pleased to endorse

What Sulphur Does
For the Human Body In Health and
Disease

For the Human Body In Health and
Disease
The mention of sulphur will recall to
many of us the early days when our
mothers and grandmothers gave us
our daily dose of sulphur and molasses
every spring and fall.
1t was the universal spring and fall
"blood purifier" tonic and cure-all, and
mind you. this old-fashioned remedy
was not without merit.
The idea was good, but the remedy
was crude and unpalatable, and large
quantity had to be taken to get any
effect.
Nowadays we get all the beneficial
effects of sulphur in a palatable, con-
centrated form, so that a single grain
is far more effective than a tablespoon
full of the crude sulphur.
In recent years research and expert
ment have proven that the best sulphur
for medicinal use is that obtained from
Calcium Calcium Sulphide) and sold
in drug stores under the name of
Stuart's Calcium Waters They are
small chocolate coated pellets and con-
tain the active medicinal principle OF
sulphur in highly concentrated, effec-
tive form.
Few people are aware of the value of
this form of sulphur in restoring and
maintaining bodily vigor and health:
sulphur acts directly on the liver and
excretory organs and purhes and en-
riches the blood by the prompt elimina-
tion of waste material.
Our grandmothers knew this when
they dosed us with sulphur and molas-
ses every spring and fall but the cru
dity and impurity of ordinary flowers
of sulphur were often worse than the
disease and cannot compare with the
modern concentrated preparations of
sulphur, of which Stuarts Calcium
Waters is undoubtedly the best and
most widely used.
They are the natural antdote for
liver and kidney troubles and cure con-
stipation and purify the blood in a way
that often surprises patient and physi-
clan alike.
DR.. RIM. Wilkins while experimenting
with sulphur remedies soon found that
the sulphur from Calcium was superior
to any other form. He says: For liver,
kidney and blood troubles, especially
when resulting from constipation or
malaria, have been surprised at the
results obtained from Stuarts Calcium
Waters. In patients suffering from
boils and pimples and even deep-sea ted
carbuncles, l have repeatedly seen them
dry up and disappear in four or five
days, leaving the skin clear and
smooth Although Stuarts Calcium
Waters is a proprietary article and SOLD
by druggists and for that reason ta-
booed by many physicians, yet L know
Of nothing so safe and reliable for con-
stipation liver and kidney troubles
and especially i'm all forms Of skin dis
eases as this remedy"
At any rate people who are tired of
pills, catharticS and so-called blood
purifiers" will find Stuarts Calcium
Waters, a far safer, more palatable and
effective preparation.
