TRAFFIC MOVEMENT HEAVY.
Great Quantities of Coal Being Moved
in Anticipation of Strike.

Movement of traffic over the rail-
roads in this part of the country thus
far In March has exceeded the estt-
mates formed earlier in the year, high
as these were. Two elements have
combined to bring about the splendid
results which have been attained The
first of these has been the weather
The absence of severe storms has en-
abled the roads to operate their trans
free from impediment or obstacle Of
any kind and thus to handle far
larger volume of traffic than they
otherwise could and with much less
delay than would have been the case
had conditions been different. The
second contributory element has been
the threat of a general coal strike
That has brought such e movement of
coal as has not been known since the
month Immediately following the ces-
sation of the last great anthracite
strike of 1902.
Manufacturing concerns, railroads.
coal dealers and in fact everybody who
consumes large quantities of coal have
been doing their utmost to provide
themselves with surplus supplies large
enough to carry them over any period
a strike is likely to continue. and in
consequence the movement of coal in
all directions has been something
enormous One thing that has con-
tributed to prevent congestion IS that
grain traffic has not been as large as
It might have been. The weather has
been so open that country roads have
not been in condition for farmers to
haul heavy loads of grain to the rail-
roads. and as they were busy prepar-
ing for an earlier seeding period than
usual they have not given much at
tention to grain shipments.
It is believed that the present coal
movement Will be kept up until it is
definitely known whether there IS to
be a coal strike or not The move
ment of general merchandise is unpre-
cedentedly large and the spring trade
in this line promises to leave all past
records away in the rear. This par
ticular movement is now at its height
and promises to continue for another
month at least in undiminished voIu-
une- Structural material Of all kinds,
including lumber. stone. lime. cement
and particularly iron and steel is NOV
ing in quantities larger than ever be-
fore known. The movement seems to
be measured only by the ability Of the
manufacturers and jobbers to turn
out shipments. The demand is urgent
and incessant. and no limit can be set
to its continuance

The Well Is Now Burning More
FierceIy Than Before.

Caney, kan, March 1.-THE fury of
the burning gas well is greater today
than ever Monday night General Man
ager Mcdowell and Superintendent
Landon were highly eIated ever the suez
oessful Gaping Of the well and the con
troll of the fire Tuesday. all the work
of the past two weeks stands for
naught.
Bags Of mud and es tn were piled up
around the well until the hood was al
most buried. This was packed down
and streams OF water We're turned on 1t
In the hope that the ground around the
well which has been ledhot for two
weeks, might become cooled in time to
turn the gas off completely without
danger Of the heat from the ground
igniung the gas again.
General Manager Mcdowell was so
satisfied with the success of the trial
that he sent kilograms to the cOmpany's
representatives in the east Monday
night, reporting the final control of the
Well Liverymen who had been in
Caney IRON Independence and Coffey-
vile returned home. Representatives
Of the company returned to Indepen-
dence and announced The well under
control.
During the night a hole broke through
the hood and in little while the work
OF two weeks was represented only by
q pile of Wreckags. Tt is believed sand
thrown up by the PRESSURE of the gas
wore hole through the thick sheets
Of steel OF which the hood was made
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1906-03-14

and as soon as the gas broke through
It became ignited. In a few minutes
the intense heat burned the hood until
It was nothing more than ruin Tons
OF earth that had been banked about
the we'll was hurled away like so much
chaff The flames shot out 100 feet
from the well and presented a beautiful
sight. It now exceeded in grandeur
anything of the kind ever witnessed.
An effort was made to pull the hood
over and away from the well, but it
stuck and caused the flames to leap
still further and higher. The derrick
mast Of the big ere ne fell and the boom
was burned and it is feared was ruined.
Today the well is burning more
f1erceIy than ever. It is estimated now
that it viii gauge fully 600 cubic
feet. and many believe it exceeds in
fury the famous Moses. which burned
year in the eastern field.
Orders were at once given for the
construction Of new apparatus along
the same plans for another trial.
Bovaird & Co., Of Independence, re-
cefved an order for new hood, which
will be constructed or heavier plans
than the last one. the company sent
IN Kansas City for specially heavy
sheet steel. which will arrive today
Chief Engineer Welch went to Kansas
CITY TO see TO securing special appliances
sbere. Tt will be several days before
another attempt viii be made to put
out the fire. The company is satisfied
that it is operating along the proper
lines, and will proceed as before, proht-
ing by it's experience.

NEEDLESS ALARM.

Here's a poor man coughing away
his lungs-at least so his relatives
think.
It's cough. cough; hack, hack, hack;
all day and sometimes all night.
Must be consumption think the
alarmed ones.
And of course, there is always a, pos
sibiIity that they may be right.
But in most cases, they're wrong;
because Dyspepsia is so much more
common than Consumption.
And Dyspepsia causes chronic
Cough, just like Consumption.
The dyspeptic cough, it is well to re-
member, can be quickly cured by Stu
arts Dyspepsia Tablets.
No need to be alarmed about it, I'M
less you make up your mind to neg
Iect it.
Then. indeed, you must look out for
danger: for the Dyspeptic Cough often
grows into a Consumptive Cough if
neglected by the constant lung irrita-
ton which It causes.
So the best way is to waste no time,
but begin at once the use Of these
famous little tablets. the timely use of
which has saved many a sick person
from ending in a consumptive's grave.
Remember, however, if you please,
that Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets will
positively NOT cure Consumption, but
prevent it.
OF course. they can always be de-
pended on to cure all the other symp-
toms of indigestion.
They are a universal cure for one
universal disease.
They cure nothing else; but what
they do. they do thoroughly and well.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are the
result of the most thorough investiga-
ton into the inside causes and the
cure. of Indigestion, that has ever been
attempted.
They have solved a problem, the an
swer to which a hundred thousand
physicians in America are today CROP
ing for in vain.
They cure the most severe, long
continued chronic, complicated cases
of Indigestion that can be found They
are far ahead of the most modern
medical practice, because the most
successful physicians of the day, in the
cure of diseases of the digestive or
gans, are using Stuarts Dyspepsia
Tablets as a basis for their success.
They stoop to Stuarts to conquer.
And Stuart's lift them up, out Of
the rut.
If, therefore, you are a victim of this
dread disease. which counts its victims
by the million. Brace uD and take new
heart, for you cannot fail to cure your
trouble, If you will only put your faith
in this great remedy, Stuart Dyspepsia
Tablets.
They are positively. frankly, truly. a
sure and permanent relief.
