THROUGH TRAIN SERVICE.
d. E. & G. Now Running Between
Guthrie and KiOwa

Guthrie, Ok. April 16.-The first
through train service on the Denver,
Enid & Gulf between Guthrie and
Kiowa, Kan, was commenced yester-
day. President Young denies that the
operation of the road will be taken over
by the Santa Fe in the near future, al
though number of joint trains may be
run on through from Kiowa to Texas
points, via Enid and Guthrie.
By acquiring the Denver, Enid &
Gulf, the Santa Fe for the first time
entered Rock Island territory, crossing
that road at Enid. A number of years
ago an agreement was entered into be-
tween the two roads, by which neither
was to enter the others territory in
Oklahoma. The agreement was violat-
ed, however, by the Rock Island when
it bought the Choctaw. crossing the
Santa Fe at Oklahoma City, and it is
not supposed to be any longer in force.

A WOMAN DOCTOR
Was Quick to See that Coffee Poison
Was Doing the Mischief.


A lady tells of a bad case of coffee
poisoning and tells it in a way so sim
pie and straightforward that literary
skill could not improve it.

years" she says, land have suffered
untold agony When 1 first began 10
have them I weighed 40 pounds, but
they brought me down to Ito. 1 went
to many doctors and they gave me
only temporary relief. SO suffered
on, till one day in 1904, a woman doc
tor told me to drink Postum Food
Coffee. She said I looked like 1 was
coffee poisoned
so 1 began to drink Postum and
gained 1 5 pounds in the first few
weeks and am still gaining, but not so
fast as at first Ny headaches began
to leave me after I had used Postum
about two weeks=long enough I ex-
pect to get the coffee poison out of
my system
Now that few months have
passed since I began to use Postum
Food Coffee, I can gladly say that /
never know what a neuralgia headache
Is like any more, and it was nothing
but Postum that cured me. Before I
used Postum never went out alone;
I would get sbewildered and would not

WILL Try CHICAGO.
The GOrlzy Parry Is Refused Admis-
sion to New York Hotels.
New York. April 16.-The Tribune

New York. April 16-lThe Tribune
today says:
Maxim Gorky and his woman com
panion were not found by newspaper
men in this city yesterday Their
baggage. 1t was ascertained, was ship
ped to Chicago on a morning train,
and there was no reason to believe
they had gone on the same train with
the baggage, together with Nikolay
Pieschof, Gorky's adopted son.
After being turned away from the
Lafayette-Brevoort hotel on Saturday
evening they went to socialistic
meeting at the Grand Central Palace
with the understanding that they were
to nave rooms at the Rhinelander.
When they got TO the Rhinelander, an
hour before midnight however, they
were told by Frank Geraty, the man
ager, that they could not stay there
and that their baggage must be re-
moved Immediately. Gorky and the
woman who has been travelling with
him as his wife then went to No. 8
Fifth avenue, in company with Mr..
and Mrs. Leroy M. Scott, while the
baggage was sent to the Victoria hotel
in charge of Gorky's adopted son.
An attempt to get rooms at the Vic
toria failed. and the baggage was
taken to the Grand Central station
and left in the baggage room over
night At the Grand Central station
it was said that the baggage had been
shipped to Chicago, but nobody would
say positively whether or not Gorky
and his companions were on the train
as passengers.
H. Gaylord Wiltshire. who was re-
sponsible for the appearances of the
Gorkys at the Hotel BeIleclaire, said
last night that he did not know what
had become of them. He was unable
to communicate with the SCOTS or the
GorkyS yesterday.
4 wanted Gorky to come to my
house" he said. IT told him that he
would not be able to get rooms in any
hotel in the city with his conventional
wife. when it was known that his
real wife and children were in Russia
and 1 think the trouble he is encount-
ering will teach him a lesson. He will
find out that he can not accomplish
anything in this country except with
the aid of the socialists"
Abraham Cahan, editor of the Jew
lsh Daily Forward, said that Gorky
had arranged TO go out of the city for
a few days and keep out of sight in a
quiet place, where he could write in
peace. In that way Mr.. Cahan said,
the Russian author and revolutionist
could get ready some speeches he in
/ tended to deliver in this country and
/ in the meantime the trouble over his
companion would abate.
immigration Commissioner Robert
/ WatchOr when seen at the Hotel
/ Chelsea, said the case was no longer
| in the hands of the local immigration
bureau 1t was up to Secretary Met
calf of the department of commerce
and labor at Washington he said. IF
Gorky is, as he says, married to the
actress and at the same time not
legally separated from his wife in
Russia, then he is liable to deporta-
tion,' said the commissioner. For
both bigamy and polygamy are under
the ban of the immigration laws. AS
the case now stands however. we have
no evidence against Gorky or the wo-
man who came here as Mme- Gorky."

The management of the baseball
park is having a row of boxes built in

URGES MANKATo EXTENSION.
Missouri Pacific Traffic Manager WouId
Build From Lincoln. Neb.

Lincoln. Neb, April 16-J. o. Lincoln.
assistant freight traffic manager of the
Missouri Pacific Railway company. has
reported to his superiors in favor of an
extension of the Missouri Pacific line
from Lincoln to Mankato, Kan. The
latter town is on the Burr Oak branch
of the road and an extension to this line
from Nebraska's capital would give the
road communication with some of the
best territory in southeastern Nebraska
and northeastern Kansas. Lincoln
merchants have long been urging the
Missouri Pacific extension in this part
of the state, preferring a branch which
would touch line now running to Vir-
Rinia, Neb. The Missouri Facific has
little mileage in this state. being limited
to its Omaha and Lincoln lines and a
few small branches.

During the first inning was the only
time that the Elk aggregation showed
any particular acquaintance with the
batting portion of the game but dur

DANGER is OVER.
Dense Cloud of Smoke stin Hangs
Over Vesuvius.

Naples. April 16-The condition of
Mount Vesuvius is unchanged today.
The volcano is. still surrounded by a
thick cloud of smoke, but ashes have
almost ceased to fall. Many Americans
including passengers on the White Star

the Vesuvius region today. The police
and carbineers tried hard to prevent
some of them from going further up,

be re-esta blished for several weeks.
Bodies are still being exhumed from
the ruins at Ottaiano and San Guizppe.
