TRAVELLERS KICKING.

There is one class of travellers who
are not pleased with the recent pas
sage of the 2-cent rate law and other
laws governing railroads. That is
the commercial traveller. The reduc-
ton from the Scent rate does not
affect him, as the house pays the fare
anyway. but il is the law which pro-
hibits railroads from carrying pas
sengers on freight trains that makes
them howl Every day the conductor
hears travelling men grumbling be-
cause they are not permitted TO ride
in the caboose of his train as a pas
senger. and where there is but one
train each way every day. if not al
lowed to ride on the freight they
make slow travel in making their
rounds.

NATURE SPARES

suffering; for how poignant would be its

We're doomed forever. Nature always
spares the suffering: she is a veritable
stcre-house OF pleasing rewards for
those who seek her aid. In the years
gone by falling hair and grayness have
cast a gloom over the lives of thousands
OF young women but thanks to the in
yestigations of scientists the true cause

SURPRISED BY BUSINESS.

Freight traffic officials are more
than surprised over the volume of
business now moving, as in former
years i'm early Juiys there was de-
cided decrease in loaded car move
ment Cars are now being loaded TO
their fullest capacity and so large a
number are cars of the largest cap
acity that the total movement does
not show up to as good an advantage
as in former years. But very little
grain is now moving, while in other
lines of freight handled in July by the
iron industries, the car works, the
hominy mills and other classes of
freight usually moved in the summer
season are up to their full tonnage Of
former years. The heavily loaded
cars are doing much to increase gross
earnings over former years.

Uncle Jim's ranch is about four miles
east Of Douglas. He homesteaded it
some time ago and since that time has
spent a considerable amount of money
in Improvements, especially. on the
house, so that he had one of the most
highly improved ranch properties in
the valley. II has been his home in
reality. Every evening he drives out
to the place and. back again to nis
place of business in the morning. Last
evening when he started home ha had

from the moment he noticed it. He
had not gone far when he knew beyond
a doubt that it was mis- property and
he was obliged to drive the rest of the
way watching his home burn down
without being able to do anything to
save it. When he arrived at the place
the building was almost consumed, and

come to Douglas for the night The
