THE CITY OF SILENCE.

The city folks.--noisy. busting gang,
Over the leads of which racket doth hang;
No quiet life in city hub-bub,-
Except for those living in quiet suburbs.
Their lives consist of continuous racket,
As tight, as tight as noise can packet;
But when life has lost it's tottering balance,
They'll have to be satisfied in the City of Silence
To country folks,-good. simple quiet set
Noise and racket would cause great fret
The hustle and hustle of city crowd
Isl too much for countryman, with quietnes
endowed;
Twill cause little sleep and very little rest.
For life where peace and quiet's in quest.
And when life has lost its tottering balance.
They'll be satisfied in the City of Silence.

HARVESTER co. BACKS DOWN
Dispute with Railway Lines over De-
muTTage Charges settled.

Chicago, April 26.@Nhat threatened
TO be serious clash between the In
ternationa1 Harvester company and all
OF the railroads entering Chicago. par
ticularly the western lines, was averted
yesterday by the harvester trust con-
ceding the main points which the rail-
roads were contending for. The suits
which the Car Service association had
started against the harvester company
and its subsidiary railroad company.
the Illinois Northern, for demurrage
charges will be Withdrawn and set
tied out of court. For a time the rail-
roads threatened to cut off the harves-
ter cOmpany's freight until it paid
about 100000 demurrage charges for
which the railroads were suing
The Illinois Northern is a nine mile
road, built specifically to furnish a
switch track to the Elsdon plant of the
harvester company. but 1T serves two
other factories along the line, and
therefore the harvester officials main
tain that it is a full hedged railroad
entitled to all of the privileges of any
railroad, and they wanted to pay only
20 cents a day for the cars of other
lines which are kept more than the
forty-eight hours allowed for unload
ing. The railroad companies demand
ed 81 day demurrage, just the same
as from any other manufacturer.
Under the compromise agreement
the Illinois Northern will pay the full
demurrage charge of 81 a day after the
rst fOrty-eight hours for all cars con-
signed to the International Harvester
company. For cars which are cOnsign-
ed to the other two factories along the
line the railroads agreed to accept 20
cents per diem charge UP to July 1
and rs cents day after that. inasmuch
as the demurrage charge is collected
from the factory to which the cars are
consigned
1t was agreed also that the claims
for past demurrage would be settled on
the same basis, and as most of the cars
which go over the road are consigned
to the harvester company it will be
called upon to pay the large part of the
100000 claim

GARFIELD OIL REPORT.
VIII Indicate More Hopeful Tone
Prevails in Kansas.

Washington. April 26.-James r.
Garfield. the commissioner of corpora
lions, expects to have his report on the
oil industry ready for submission to
the president within a week or ten
days. Mr.. Garfield said to a CORE
spondent:
There are some odds and ends Of
the report yet to be prepared and I
hope to have these ready before the
week is out No part of the report has
been submitted to the president and 1
do not know how that rumor was
started
''Wiil the report be made public
during this session of congres2"
Il can not say what the president
viii do with it, but it will be ready
for submission now in a few days if he
sees fit to give it out"
Mr.. Garfield stated that the report
would deal with the oil situation gen
orally and specifically discuss the va
rious oil fields.
THE condition in each of the oil
producing states and territories" he
said, .is such that each separately will
have to be considered"
Mr.. Garfield would not say whether
he would make any recommendations
in his report or merely state condi-
tons as he found them. The impress
sion prevails, however, that he will
make recommendations.
The secretary of labor and COM
merce and the president and attorney
general already are familiar in a gen
eral way with the conditions as the
agents of the commissioner of corpo-
to the Kansas field. Mr.. Garfield said
The latest reports indicated a much
more hopeful tone among the pro-
ducers and officials of the. state.

DE1ANo DEMANDS FAIR PLAY.
President of Wabash Denounces Hys-
tericaI Attacks on Railroads.

Chicago, April 26.-Hysterical attacks
upon railroads and railroad men for the
sake of breaking into print or to gain
following among the radicals were de-
clared by T. A. Delano, president Of the
Wabash Railroad company, to be a men
ace not only to the progress of American
railroads and other industries, but also to
the fundamental principles and policy Of
this government.
Mr.. Delano was speaking in response to
a toast last night at the banquet of the
American Railway Guild at the Auditori
UNI. He declared that railroad men are
most appreciative of honest and fair sug-
gestions which may be made in pointing
out means of perfecting the human in
stitution of railroading, but mudslinging
and efforts to poison the public minds
against railroad men was equivalent to an

are not the worst of men. although recent
attacks would seem to seek to repress
them as such.

TO TAME THE NEosHo.
Plans of Cherokee and Labette Farm
ers to Prevent Overflow.

Oswego, Kan. April 26.@There is a
bill before congress for the appropria-
ton of $4,000 for the survey of the
Neosho river from the Indian territory
line to Emporia, but a large per cent
of the land owners in the overflow bot
toms in Iabette and Cherokee counties
have tired waiting for this appropria-
ton and are now actively at work on a
plan which, if carried to a successful
conclusion, will be the biggest public
Improvement ever attempted in this
part of Kansas and will involve the ex-
penditure of approximately 100000.
The Neosho river bottoms are fer
tile but the stream is extremely crook
ed, and the overt1ows oocasioned by its
meanderings have long been a menace
to the proper Improvement and de-
velopment of its farms. The question
Of preventing these overf1ows has for
years been a paramount one, and has
led to much legislation. Levees have
been built. with varying results but it
is now conceded that the only practical
and feasible way to prevent these
freshets is by a canal, and it is with
the ultimate view of digging a huge
waterway from the north line of these
two counties to the Indian territory
line that the land owners of this and
Cherokee county are working The
distance is twenty-nfne miles but the
river in traversing 1t goes about 125
miles, or four and one-half times the
distance. actually necessary.
The number of acres that would be
benefited has been estimated at from
$1,000 to $4,000, with an estimated
value of S1,OO0,O00. The land. after
the ditch has been dug, will be worth
from $50 to- 500 per acre, If it proves
adequate. and will save thousands of
dollars worth of crops.

Do You Eat for Mere Stimulation Or
for Real Nutrition?
IN matters Of money there is an old adage

question of food and health it might be
said as truly: It's not so much what you
eat as what real nOurishment you get out
Of what you eat
This IS the secret of health, strength
and vitality. No difference how much nu-
tsition your food contains if your system
does not assimiIate that nutrition-take 1T
UP and distribute it throughout your body
you gain nothing beyond a temporary
stimulation by having eaten It.
