1t is the business of the kidneys to
remove from the blood all poisonous
materials. They must be active all the
time, else the system suffers. There
are times when they need a little as
siStance.
Peruna is exactly this sort of rem
edy. 1t has saved many people from
disaster by rendering the kidneys SER

to bear their own burdens.

St. Louis, Jan. Bob. F. Yoakum
chairman of the executive committees
of the Rock Island and the Frisco.

American Car and Foundry company.
for 5000 new freight cars for the
Frisco. He has also entered into con-
tracts for new motive power. The
new cars and LOGON olives will cost
about $7,SO0,0O0.
The Frisco made a 100000 con-
tract a year ago with the American
Car and Foundry company for new
equipment. About 1000 cars included
in this contract are still to be deliv
cred. These 1900 cars will be turned
over to the Frisco in the next few
months Delivery of the cars ordered

MOVE INTO THE COURT HOUSE
Riley County Officials Now Occupy
the New Manhattan Building.

Manhattan, Kan. Jan. 3O.-Immed-
lately following the completion of the
new county court house here the coun-
ty officials moved in and are now To-
Gated in their permanent quarters.
Since the history of Riley county be-
gan, there has been a question as to
the location of the county seat, owing
to the geographical location of Man
haitian and the manner in which the
vote of the county was divided on this
question. Consequently up to this time
the county was without a court house,
the district court and officials occupy
ing private buildings leased for that
purpose.
With the advent of the new $50, 900
building probably comes the settlement
of the location question.

Mr. Cooke. who assumes his new
duties Feb. 1, is conceded to be one of
the best traffic men in the country.
His genial personality has made him
a general favorite among both ship
perS and railroad men in the east
where he has forged his way to the
front in a business that is noted for
having produced more failures than
successes in the perpetual battle for
business that exists.
Mr.. Cooke is no stranger to the
West. having begun his railway SER
vice as a clerk IN the local freight Of
fee of the Chicago & North-We stern
Railway at Council Bluffs Iowa, in
1881. Leaving that post in 1884, he
served in various capacities in the
passenger service of the Sioux City &
Pacific Railroad; Chicago. St Paul
Minneapolis & Omaha Railway at ST.
Paul, Mimi; Texas & Pacific Railway;
Wisconsin Central at Milwaukee
Wis; and the Chicago Great Western
Railway, leaving the latter when he
was assistant general passenger and
ticket agent in 1895 to accept a similar
position with the Erie System. From
1901 to 1905. he served as the Erie's
general passenger agent and was
made assistant general traffic man
ager of the system in the latter year,

GoULDs WITH HARTMAN?
A Report That the Two Railway In
terests Have Effected q Combine.


terests Have Effected a Combine.
Pittsburg, Pa, Jan. 3O.-Persistent
rumors have been in circulation that
arrangements have practically been
made to admit the Goulds into the
community of railway interests. 1t is
said that E. H. Hartman has brought
wabash will be given an outlet to
Cumberland for it's tide water line, the
Western Maryland, either over the
Pittsburg & Lake Erie and the Balti-
more & Ohio, or entirely over the lat
ter system.
1t is said that the concession made
by Hartman to George J. Gould with
respect to the Western Pacific is the
opening wedge of this new plan to pre-
vent the Goulds from doing any more
railroad building in western Penn
sylvania. Some days ago an arrange
ment was effected between Hartman
and the Goulds in the west under the
terms of which Gould will find it I'M
necessary to build a large portion or
the Western Pacific through the very
costly section of the Rocky mountains
and that Western Pacific trains will be
given traffic right over the Southern
Pacific system.
riman to restore the friendly relations
formerly enjoyed by the two railroad
magnates is regarded among railroad
men and financiers as very signif1ca MT
at this time. 1t is a fact also that the
Gould interests have withdrawn all
their engineers from the Western
Pennsylvania field and they have in
timated that the men would not be
needed at any time in the future
