FROM IUKA TO DODGE CITY.
Missouri Pacific to Build Line Between
These Points


Plans are being completed by the
Missouri Pacific Railway company to
build line from Iuka to Dodge city.
The new road viii pass through some
of the richest sections of the western
part of the state. It viii virtually be
an extension of the Iuka branch of the
old Denver. Memphis & Atlanta road
running from Conway Springs to
Larned- The Iuka branch connects
with the main line of the D. NJ. & A
at Olcott and is about 20 miles long.
In all the extension of the Iuka
branch will make that road about so
miles in length from Oleott west At
present the stub line is about "a miles
in length. It VIII pass through the
counties of Pratt, Kiowa and into the
eastern edge of Ford.
1t is known that officials of the COM
pany are now going over the proposed
route of the extension and when their
report is made construction work will
be commenced a once.
For many years it has been a prob
lem with railway men to understand
the Missouri Pacific's plan in not ex-
tending either the line northwest from
Larned or west from Iuka. While the
report of the final determination Of
the company to extend this line is not
unexpected, it comes as a welcome de-
lcision to the residents of that particu-
lar section. The building of the road
viii give this city a direct connection
with that section. It will also be the
first move of the Missouri Pacific in
the many extensions and improvements
that road now has in view in this sec
tion of the country.

DEATH BY INDIGESTION
A Long Train of Fatal his Is the Di-
rect Result of Undigested Food.


rect Result of Undigested Food
Undigested food, by fermenting, forms
a poison in the stomach and this is alb
sorbed in the blood If this goes on very
long. and your heart happens to be
weak, you'll be found some morning
dead in bed, or you may fall back down
the stairs about an hour and a half af-
ter dinner, and the doctor will call it
heart disease. Yes that may be the
result but not the cause The cause
is indigestion. Indigestion is a simple,
common word, but it has a terrible i'm
port.
And so you may get apoplexy. and
die suddenly while you're standing.
If you have a weak liver, the poison
of undigested food will attack it and
you viii get jaundice. If you have weak
kidneys, you will get BFights Disease
or diabetes, from which there is no res
cue for any man.
1t was a learned physician who said
that the progress of a race depended
upon the stomachs of its members
And you have at some time in your
life eaten a heavy meal, or eaten in a
hurry, and felt that lump Of Lead i'm

is a hard ball of undigested food The
stomach can't digest it, and finds it
hard to throw it out. And so it sours.
and it makes you sour and everybody
sour who talks with you. 1t gives you
a bad breath and is building for you

Nervousness and slecplesSness are u.s.

not fed on properly nourishing blood;
they are StdTUed nerves. DIR. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery makes pure,
rich blood, and thereby the nerves are
properly nourished and ali the organs % of
the body are run as smoothly as machin-
cry which runs in oil. In this way you
feel clean, strong and strenuouS-you are
toned up and invigorated, and you arc
good for whole lot of physical or mental
work. Best of all, the strength and in
crease in vitality and health are lasting.
The trouble with most tonics and med
icincS which have large, booming sale
for short time, is that they arc largely
composed of alcohol holding the drugs in
solution. This alcohol shrinks up the red
blood, corpuscleS, and in the long run
greatly Injuries the system. One may feel
cxhilaratcd and better for the time being,
yet in the end weakened and with vitality

WEDDING SPEECHES.
Some That Were Not In the Usua
Conventional Style.

Some That Were Not In the Usual
Conventional Style.
A wedding in New York at which the
bridesmaids were representative of six
nationalities and each felicitated the
bride in the language of her own coun-
try was an odd affair, but probably not
so well received as the speech of a
young Englishman who was called up
on to propose the toast, 1.-The Brides
maids" Apprised of his ordeal in ad-
vance, he had devised an escape, and
with the single statement that silence
was golden he brought from his pocket
a set of gold bangles, which he bestow-
ed upon the attendants of the bride.
At a wedding feast at Dol, in Nor.
mandy, the demand for a speech result.
ed in the production of a guitar, upon
which the speaker accompanied himself
while he chanted the praises of the
bride. Had he stopped there all would
have been well, but he changed to a
praise of his store, and the guests
threw him out of the house.
Doubtless a similar fate should have
befallen the sharpshooter who wrote
the name of the bride upon the wall
with pistol bullets, to the serious dam
age Of the wall paper. Almost as odd
was the performance of a German mu-
sic hall performer, who, when called
upon for entertainment, mounted the
table upon his hands and balanced him
self upon glasses, cups and other fur
nishings.
