Bank Robber Suspect Arrested.

Deputy Sheriff Wilson this morn
ing arrested a young fellow at the
Frisco depot on suspicion Of being q
bank robber who escaped from jail
at Butler some time ago. He was
taken to the county all, where he
was searched. Seventy cents and a
number Of small personal articles
were found on him, butnothing th at
would tend to reveal his identity.
He says his name is Hummel and
that his home was in st. Louis. He
says his parents are dead, and since
then his home has been wherever his
hat Is off. For the present his hat
will be of at the county jail. For
some time the officers have had the
description Of q man who was arrest
ed about four years ago on the
charge Of robbing the bank at Hume,
Mo-, and who escaped from iail be.
fore he was tried. This fellow, who
was with young boy, was seen
about the Frisco depot last mig ht
and when the officers learned OF him
q search was made. But he had
made an escape in the meantime.
This morning Special Agent Mona
han and Deputy Sheriff Wilson re.
newed the esearch and when he shove ed
up at the depot heSWss arres ted on
suspicion. The boy was arrested al

fice In the legislature voted for and
thus sanctioned the issuing of the
certificates OF Indebtedness" In
1895, while the house Of representa-,
tives was controlled by the repubh-
cans, Major Bittenger introduced a
resolution authorizing the board of
fund commissioners to issue a certifi-
cate oil Indebtedness for the amount
OF the seminary funds then uninvest-
ed. The resolution declared "this
certificate shall be non.negotiable-
uncomfortable and non transfer
abls," bearing 5 per cent. interest
and payable fisy years after. Hon.
John L. Swanger, now Republican
Secretary Of State, was then chair
man OF the committee on education,
to which committee this resolu ton
was referred; after the resolution had
gone the regular course it was re-
ported back iavorably to the House
and adopted by almost q unani'
nous vote, only five votes havin ~
been cast against it. The House
ournal shows that Mr.. Swangsr was
absent at the roll call on this reso-
luton, but it must have received his
sanction as his committee reporte d
1t back favorably. Such Republican,
az the Hon. Jacob f. Gmelich, Ma
ior Blttenger, Dr.. Pettijohn, Dr..
Tubbs, and a host OF other devoted
republicans voted for the resolution.
Other certificates ofindebtedness"
to our school fund had been issued
by order OF the legislature previous
to 1895, but none for 80 long a time
fifty years. Those men saw the
safety and advisabillty Of investing
the public school fund in that nan
ner, and 1t was undoubtedly their
desire to make 1t as permanent as
possible. The first certificates OF In
debtedness we're issued 10 1872, ap-
proved March 20, while the republi-
cans we're in power, and the Missouri
people seeing the advlsability oisuch
investment have continued the plan.
1t is also a fact that Secretary OF
State Swanger was q member OF the
iunketing committee Of 1895, and as
such he found over 100000 OF
these certificates in the state treas.
ury, and approved Of them at that
time. The report Of this commit
may be found published In the Ap-
pendix to the House and Senate
Journals OF 1895, and the votes OF
the other Republican members OF the
House and Senate on this important
question will be found recorded In
the regular journals Of that session.

Are You Tired, Nervous
and SleepleSs

Nervousness and slecplessness are u.s.
ually due to the fact that the nerves are
not fed on properly nOurishing blood;
they are stdrped nerves. DIR. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery makes pure,
rich blood, and thereby the nerves are
properly nourished and all 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 are
good for a whole lot OF physical or mental
crease In vitality and health are lasting.
The trouble with most tonics and med
tcines which have a large, booming sale
for short time, is that they are 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
exhilarated and better for the time being,
yet In the end weakened and with vitality
decreased. DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery contains no alcohol. Every
bottle of 1t bears upon its wrapper The
Bddge Of Honesty, In full list OF all its
several ingredients. For the druggist to
offer you something he claims is Tjust as
good is to insult your intelligence.
Every Ingredient entering into the
'world-famed wGolden Medical Discovery"
has the unanimous approval and endorse
ment Of the leading medical authorities
OF all the several schools of practice. No
other medicine sold through druggists for
like purposes has any such endorsement

= Washington, Dec. s26.-Chairman
Knapp of the interstate commerce COM
mission declares that the car shortage
problem is more serious in. the south

the blame for the existing conditions
equally on the, shippers and the rail-
roads.

Chairman Knapp today, "'Fisss. so great

are swamped. They have not. in many
cases either cars. oFstrackage facilities
to handle the abnormal volume of traf-
ic offered for transportation. Lack
of cars is not the only difficulty, but it
Is the greatest.
If the shippers would load and un-
load cars with less delay the car short
age problem would be solved to a great
extent For instance, as I remember
1t, the traffic manager, of the Frisco
system stated that seven eighths of the
tratflc originating on his line is trans
ferred to other roads. This means that
seven out of every eight cars are sent
70 their destination by other lines. Now,
II these cars are not returned promptly
IL is very easy to see, that the Frisco
system soon would run dry of trans
portation facilities.
Gar Markers Work Hard.
:. Our reports show that the average
distance freight car travels in day
Is twenty-five miles. At the slow speed
OF ten miles an hour freight car would
travel 24O miles in day of twenty
tour hours. Our statistics show that
TOR every day a freight car is in tran
SIT it is motionless nine DAYS, This
places on the shippers much of the
responsibility for the car shortage.
Apply that rule to the Frisco svs-
TEN. Sending seven out of every eight
cars Oft its lines, the saving Of every
hour IN unloading is matter of vital
concern.
Our experience has shown that the
unit of cost of transportation is lowest
when railroads are operating to about
thelr maximum capacity. When alb
normal demands are made upon their
faculties the efforts must be redoubled
ali along the line and the cost per unit
gradually increases. Hours of labor
arc longer and work more arduous. Here
the, personal element enters into tbe
problem and adds to the difficulties and
