For the first time in many years,
If not in its history, Greeley will
probably have an election this spring
without convention, the whole
thing being done by petition of
voters. The entire old board and
such other officials as may be elected
under the new law, are being petit
toned under the name of the Water
Works ticket to run again. Only
the mayor, aldermen, city clerk and
city treasurer will be elected this
spring, all the other officers being
appointfve under the new law.

Mrs. Jack Tansy while out horseback riding Monday after noon about 4 o'clock, met with a bad accident, being thrown from her horse and receiving a fracture of the left wrist and bad bruises about the shoulders and face. At the time of the accident Mrs. Tansy was riding along the driveway in Janssen park wh n her horse began to pitch in a violent manner. She managed to retain her seat until the animal reached Hopert avenue near the Commercial hotel where she was thrown off, the fall rendering her unconscious for some little time. She was picked up taken into the hotel and Dr. J. K. Davis sent for who admin istered to her sufferings.
 Several hours later she had recovered sufficiently 10 be re- moved to her home and today she is reported as getting along as we'll as could be expected un- der the circumstances.

SIMPLE RECIPE MIXED OFTEN.
Druggists Hear Much Praise for This
 Simple Home Made Mixture.

Some remarkable stories are being told about town and among the country people coming in of this simple home made mixture curing Rheumatism and Kidney trouble. Here is the recipe and directions for taking: Mix by we'll in a bottle oue-half ounce Fluid Extract of Dandelion, one ounce Compound Kargon, three ounces Compound Syrup Sars- aparilla. Take as dose one tea spoonful after meals and at bed- time.
 No change need be made in your usual diet, but drink plenty of good water.
 This mixture, writes one auth oity in a leading Philadelphia newspaper, has a peculiar tonic effect upon the kidneys; cleans ing the clogged up pores of the eliminative tissues, forcing the kidneys to sift and strain from the blood the uric acid and other waste matter, overcoming Rheu- matism, Bladder and Urinary troubles in short time.
 A New York druggist who has had hundreds of calls tor these ingredients since the first an- nouncement in the newspapers last October stated that the people who once try it "swear by it," es- pecially those who have Urinary and Kidney trouble and suffer with Rheuma tism.
 The druggists of this neighbor- hood say they can supply the in- gradients, which are easily mixed at home. There is said 10 be no better blood-cleansirg agent or system tonic known, and certain ly none more harmless or simple to use.

COMPROMISE REJECTED
Little Rock Conference Rejects Pro- posal to Turn Mena Hendrix Acad-
 emy Over to School District

ks
 A letter to w. E. Anderson from the Rev. J. A. Henderson, who attended the session of the Little Rock Conference of the M. E. Church, South, at Malvern last week, announces that the proposed com promise by which the Mena Hendrix Academy property was to go to the Mens school district was rejected by the conference.
 As will be remembered by the readers of the Star, steps were recently taken by interested parties at a meeting h Little Rock to bring to an end the liri- gation between Hendrix College and J. E, Weotton, the Little Rock Conference of the M. E. Church, South, ard the citizens of Mena. The terms of the com promise were, in brief, that the school district pay J. E. Wootton $500, Hendrix College $l.0OO, the college to return to MT. Wootton the Commercial Hotel property and the academy property to be deeded to the school district.
 The case will now probably be fought out in the Supreme court.

The Southern Gaining Rapidly.
From the Kansas City Star.

From the Kansas City Star.
 It has been no secret here that the Kansas City Southern rail- road is the best paying railroad ia the country in proportion to its mileage and the extent of its business.
 A strong showing has been made in net earnings and in re- duced cost of operation since the company was freed from the Hartman control two years ago. By reason of better service traffic has improved and there has been an almost phenomenal increase in freight and passenger earn iugs. It has been generally known that the company was do- ing a remarkable business aud that it would pay dividend of 4 per cent on both the preferred and the common stock, despite the fact that the road is capital ized for more than $l00,000' a mile, as compared with 5000 a mile for the Atchison, Topeka X Santa Fe railroad.
 A. F.. Stilwell, who built the railroad and afterwards lost con- trol of it, has frequently stated that its earnings recently were larger per mile than any other road entering Kansas City.

FINE SHOWING
 OF K. (. SOUTHERN
It's Net Earnings Have Increased 20 Per Cent and Operating Expenses De- creased Steady Growth
 Since Hartman Lost Out

Chicago, Nov. 3O.-No railroad in the United States has had more rapid developments and i'm provement in all its interests thar the Kansas City Southern, a: disclosed in its annual report
 This is a comparatively new road. Ii hardly had been com. pleted when it became necessary to reorgauize it, and after going into the hands of the receiver, i, went into these of a voting trust AS yet 1t is but single track line, running directly south from Kan sas City to Port Arthur. Lumber IS the chief item of its traffic, though it is now handling a large tonnage of agricultural produce and some minerals.
 During its last fiscal year the Southern increased its gross earn- ings by 20 per cent over those of the preceding year, while it de. creased its operating expenses hy 5 per cent. This is an unpre- cedented record in these times, when operating expenses have been increasing out of all propor tions to the increase in net reye. uues.
 These results are to be credited almost solely to good manage ment, as is shown particularly in the heavy revenue train load which has been reached. In these days, when congestion of traffic has become a chronic feature of railroad operation, it is note- worthy that the average car movement on this line has been increased from twenty to thirty miles day.
 To its record in this regard the road owes the rapid development of it's export grain traffic from Kansas City to the Gulf. Ship pers have learned that by giving 1t traffic their shipments are sure to get to destination expeditiously and, consequently, it has become popular route.
 Considerable improvement work has still to be done. Grades have to be reduced and curves elimin- ated. When this has been accom- plished, the operating expenses will be reduced still farther, and the operation of the road become more profitable.

The News Found Him.

The Troy News was the means by
which Liveryman Jones found his miss
ing saddle pony, the blue roam, stolen
last Monday. Monday a telephone
message was received from Peck, saying
that the pony was there, and the noon
train brought letter from Walter Tate,
of Peck, who said he had just been
shown cory of the Troy paper and
undoubtedly had the horse described.
Mr.. Jones Immediately sent Mr.. McGann
to Peck after the horse. 1t was thought
that the young fellow who had stolen
the horse rnd sold it to Mr.. Tate wat
still in the vicinity of Peck and would
be caught. The horse WAS ridden into
Peck and sold Tuesday, the rider sayin,
he was from Yakima and must sell il
order to hasten to see a sick mother

Does it realls pay to advertise? There

choppers in the Troy News. He got nc
replies. Why? Because there we're no
idle men: because men could make
more at other work. This did not
prove that advertising was failure.
1t simply proved that he was not offer
ing anything that any other man hap
pened to want. j. w. Jones lost his
