tire force of $50 men that was working
on the pine line river crossing has been

work vet to be done on the river and
known, but from what could be learn
ed from the Americans who work there
it is said that since pay day there has
been too much drinking and fighting
among the men and very little work
done.
The men were paid on the 18th of
this month for December and their
wages amounted to $4,000. The pay
master ard timekeepers carried the
cash in grips through the willows and
paid the men as they came to them.
Saturday the men were sitting around
waiting for the paymaster to return
and nav them for their work done in
January which viii take $4,000 more.
This will make $4,000 which viii
have been paid out on the river work
and will take 5000 or $4,000 more to
complete the work, costing $4,000 1or

4 IA. Z. Professor Urges the Use Of
Limestone Around Lawrence.


Lawrence, Kan. Jan. 24.-Professor
W. c. Hoad of the civil engineering
department of the University of KAN
sas' chairman of the Douglas County
GOOD Roads society, has figured out
that there are in Douglas county SOC
miles OF country roads on which the
townships spend about $4,000 a year.
ms sum does not include the amounts
given by the county. by the towns and
by private subscriptions. This sum
represents the amount spent annually
Tor ordinary maintenance without con
sIderation of permanent betterment
1t seems that, under the present sys-
tenn, the country roads are getting
rather worse than better. Professor
HOad proposes the ultimate building of
permanent roadways along all the
main highways. Douglas county is
favored with an abundance of lime
stone. fairly well distributed. The
ease with which the limestone may be
quarried and crushed will enable
Douglas county to build good macadam
roads at about one-half the cost of the
state aid roads of Massachusetts,. New
York and New jersey.

Conscience Stricken Mortal Sends Five
Gents to Railway.

Sioux City. Ia, Jan. 24.-After wrest-

years. some one in Brooklyn, n. Y, has
sent to the street car company of Sioux
City five cents with the simple explana-
ton, IAN uncoHected fare" The remit
lance was in the form of five cent
STAMP.
The letter was addressed to the Sioux
City Elevated road. and the fact that
this line has not been in operation for
ten years indicates a prolonged strug-
gle with the conscience
No name was given and no explana-
ton why a conscience aroused to the
extent of paying an obligation ten
years old should not have been quick
ened to the point of allowing interest
on the amount. This would have made
another three cents.

Strength

A weak and exhausted con
dition usually follows over
work, too close confinement, or
unusual mental strain. Every
day a certain amount of vital
ity is consumed, and if not re-
plenished by sleep, rest and
nourishment, soon wrecks the
nervous system. The results
are sleeplessness, headache,
indigestion, imperfect circula-
ton, etc, which affects the
organs of the body.
