BOOM IN SANTA FE STOCK.
It Jumped Five Points on the Stock
Exchange Yesterday.


New York, March 9.-The stock mar
ket was enlivened a bit yesterday by
a spectacular and rather sudden rise
of five points in Atchison, Topeka &
Santa F'e common stock, which sold up
to IS. There has been little trade in
this stock for soTae time past, a few
thousand shares a day being the extent
of the dealings. The fact that every at
tempt to put it up has been met by free
selling, has discouraged all efforts of
spectators to move the price. An un-
usual buying movement developed yes
terday, however and there We're trans
actions amounting to $1,000 shares. The
rise IS supposed to foreshadow an in
crease IN the dividend rate from 4 per
cent to 5 per cent annually. Rumors
of this impending increase have been
current for some time rest The Atchi-
son roads gross earnings in January
were 61a million dollars, showing an in
crease of $1,130.000 over the figures for
a year ago, and the January net earn
ings showed an increase of $720. 000 and
for seven months past the ret earnings
were 8 millions greater than for the
corresponding period Of the preceding
year The net earnings for the current
year premise to be equal to about 10
per cent of the common stock The fig
ures. PERHAPS explain why the stock
advanced though they have been is
nored heretofore.

Thompson, in Everybody's. It was be-

chamber of deputies. I suppose the
destiny of France always does hang in
the balance. In the peaceful interval
Loubet slipped down to Marsanne and
walked out to the farm. The good
dame was in the huge. brick-hoored
kitchen, kneading the bread for the
fortnight baking. She flung her doughty
arms around his neck and kissed him.

He took off his coat rolled I'D his
shirt sleeves and kneaded the bread.
while the good mother told him the
news and gossip of the farm. This is
the sort of thing the Emile Loubet
would do quite naturally. Lincoln
might have done it. too. Having
kneaded the bread, Monsieur Loubet
returned by special train to Paris and
went on saving France.

n. J. yesterday charged with attempt
ing to wreck an eastbound Buffalo e1-
press train on the Delaware, Lacka-

terday morning have confessed that
this was their sixth attempt at wreck

in the vicinity of Passaic. They said
the only reason for attempts was a de
sire to witness the excitement which
would result. The Buffalo express es-
capped disaster yesterday by an exceed
ingly narrow margin. It was running
at high rate of sped when the en-
gineer saw the Instructions. He man
aged to stop the train less than a car

It now is apparent that the Midland

fact that the Midland Valley was con

There was a Chinese who had three
dogs When he came home one even
ing he found them asleep on his couch
Of teakWood and marble. He whipped
them and drove them forth. The next
night when he came home. the dogs
were lying on the floor. But he placed

gave them another whipping. The third
night returning earlier than usual he
found the dogs sitting before the
couch blowing on it to cool it"

Ingenuity that borders on the mir
raculous has given to patient at the
University of Pennsylvania hospital
an artificial nose, through which he
breathes as easily and as comfortably
as though it were real. Incidentally
the invention of this physical mechan-
ism has brought undying fame to two
young dental students.
A little chunk of vulcanite rubber,
worked into proper shape, silver tubes
connected with the throat, a few
splashes Of flesh color paint, a film of
theatrical paint, a spraying of face
powder and presto!
A nose!
That's how It happened, and today
10. w Welser, of Allentown Pa, Is no
longer the man without nose, but the
possessor of q probOscis that would
have excited the envy Of Cyrano De
Bergerac.
AS for the artistic beauty and sym
metry. the nose isn't to be compared
with the real thing.
George Villain, a young F'renchman,
a student in the university dental
school is the man who made possible
the wonderful transformation in Wei
ser's physiognomy. He was assisted
by a fellow student whose aptitude for
art and appreciation of colors made
possible the natural color of the arti-
fetal nose.
The two silver tubes running
through the vuIcanite nose serve as
nostrils and run up through the bridge
of what was once Welser's nose. to
the passage leading to the windpipe,
at the same time holding the nose in
place To hide the lip, which has
been grated on his face, Welser is
wearing a false mustache, and a pair
Of glasses. the latter completely hid
ing the connection of the nose with
the face. Welser lost his nose fifteen
years ago from a cutaneous disease.
But so well did Villain do his work
and so finely did his artistic friend
decorate the nose that DR.. Charles H.
Frazier. dean of the medical depart
ment of the university. who had pre-
viously operated upon Welser, failed to
recognize philadelphia Press.

pected to take for the Masonic banquet

sons brought the train to a halt with
a huge bonfire. Masons from New

gathered at the station to board the
special train which left Pittsburg at 6
O'Clock.
The Masons had about decided to
abandon the outing when one OF the
men noticed a stack of straw near by
and proposed they stop the train with
fire. Armfuls of straw were piled
close to the track, and when the train
was heard approaching a match was
touched to the pile. The fame Ieaped
high in the air, and the engineer,
thinking the fire was on the track,
slowed up. The Masons boarded a car
amid cheers of bystanders.

How to Fool a Lazy Liver
with Artificial Exercise

tn VERY serious Sickness has a
- small beginning.
And. in nine cases out Of
LIZ ten that small beginning is
made in the Bowels.
Indigestion is the beginning Of most
diseases.
II paves the way for all others.
Lack exercise. hasy eating, improper
food, are It's first causes.
Laziness, and postponement. permits it
to grow into Chronic Constipation, which
means lifelong Discomfort.
It isn't necessary to be sick-a-bed, you
know. in order to be mighty uncom-
Portable.
Even slight indigestion affects the
nerves, dulls the mind, and obscures the
merry sunshine of Life.
And. Indigestion once started, grows
fast, couodes temperament, and discounts
happiness, good cheer, capacity.
It does that long before it puts you on
the Sick list.
Every thinking Doctor knows why.
Professor FSanQ knew II.
That's why he framed up for students
his famous formula for Happiness, viz:
Trust in God, and keep your Bowels
open"
The Bowels need adjustment from time
to time, just like clock. or a watch.
No GOOD time is humanity possible
without this.
And, the time TO adjust the watch is
not when it has run down. nor when the
main spring is broken. but at the very
minuteadiustmentis discovered necessary.
The time to adjust the Bowels is not
merely when your Head Aches, when your
Liver is Sick, your Stomach in Revolt. and
Natures Food Process retarded for d
hours or longer.
The proper time to adjust them is the
very minute you suspect they need adjust
ment.
