Japanese and German Are Inspecting
American Railroads.

New York, Sept. 5-Two parties OF
prominent railroad men and civil engi-
neers, one from Japan and the other
from Germany are here studying Amer
lean railroad systems. They will have
visited most of the large cities of the
United States before returning to their
respective countries.
The Japanese party consists of K.
K Naparisaki, manager of railroads
and counsel for railroads for the Jap
anese government; K. Moragaki an
attache of the department of the I'm
perial government; S. Ishrimarn, a
prominent civil engineer; B. Shimade,
marine engineer; r. Latsuno, a civil
engineer; Y. Yakata, counselor for the
Imperial railroads and S. Furukana, a
civil engineer. They have been sent over
by their government as a preliminary
step to the reorganization of the entire
Japanese railroad system, which is
eventually to be taken over by the
government. They will also visit Ger
many, France and England. They have
already carefully observed the working
of the western railroads.
The German party consists of H
Gardes, F. Jordan and Mr.. Wittefeldt
all civil engineers. Their purpose is to
acquaint themselves with American
railroads and their methods to see what
improvements, if any, can be incorpor-
ated into the German railway system.

HAD TO PAY THE TAXES.
Garden City Owners Made to Hustle
$4,000 Due on $50 Quarter Sections.

Garden City. Kan, Sept. 5.-The
prayer for temporary restraining or
der to restrain Finney county from
selling lands in the sand hills owned
by S. A. Billiard. w. H Guthrie and
James Cowgirl for taxes has been re-
fused by Judge Thompson of the dis
trict court. The plaintiffs in their pc
tition for the restraining order state
that the land is assessed at a value
greater in proportion to its real value
than other lands in the country. The
court held that the lands were not as
sessed inequitably when compared with
the average assessment of lands all
over the country and refused to grant
the plea.
The lands in question nearly all lie
south of the sand hills and they are
used for grazing purposes. Some $50
quarter sections of land were involved
w. H. Guthrie having about SO quar-
tiers. S. A. Billiard IS quarters and
James Cowgirl about 81 quarters
Yesterday was tax sale day and the
argument was heard yesterday after
noon in order that the sale could be
prevented today if the Injunction
should be granted. AS it was not the
taxes were paid on the three bodies of
land. These will amount to some
where in the neighborhood of $4,000.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

By local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness.
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed condi-
lion of the mucous lining of the Eustach-
IAN Tube. When this tube is inflamed you
have a rumbiing sound or imperfect hear
ing and when it is entirely closed, deaf
ness is the result, and unless the inflam-
nation can be taken out and this tube re-
stored to its normal condition, hearing
will be destroyed forever. nine cases out
pf ten are caused by Catarrh, which is

Judge McPherson's Statement.


81 make no charges against any one,
was the statement by Judge McPher-
son. Il was careful in my opinion to
negative any opinion of fraud here. In
fact know that no fraud will be prac-
ticed, l know it is as possible for an
insurance company to inject poison Tito
the body as for the executors to substi-
tute another package of po1Son.I acknow-
ledge that if anything is done it should
be done above any suspicion of fraud
I acknowledge that if the order should
go out that the examination should be
made by men of dignity and honor
There have been rumors that in
surance agent climbed up on the roof
and found package and L think this
evidence should be produced by the
plaintiffs" said Judge Barker for the
Perkins estate.
81 don't for a moment believe" con-
tinued the court, that Mrs. Perkins, If
1t was to further her interest, would
hesitate about exhuming the body and
why should this attempt be made to
thwart the right of these other parties
to have the body exhumed. What is the
record? That he took insurance at an
annual expenditure of 100000. Was his
income such as to warrant assuming
that insurance? Was it the purpose in
taking out this insurance to bring his
life prematurely to an end? He said
he was buying this poison for a legiti-
mate purpose, the evidence is that it Is
exceedingly doubtful if he used the
morphine for the purpose named OF
necessity I must know what became OF
that package.
THE evidence shows that at O'Clock
in the evening the deceased was on the
roof of the house. For what reason?
That has never been shown. Why can
that matter be cleared up. Why can
that be shown? Why should 1t be kept
in darkness and secrecy. It's absolute
ly monstrous that the case should be
continued with but one-half of the
truth revealed and the other suppress
ed. What became of that morphine?
If he took the morphine a chemical
analysis will show it"
We will show why he was on the
roof, said Judge Barker I'VE will
snow that the insurance company when
he had taken out 100000 of insurance
they pressed upon him to take an adj
ditional 100000. You said the estate
was suppressing the truth. We have
never had an opportunity of produc-
ing this evidence and we ask for that
privilege now"
the attorneys for the estate stated
they wished to cross-examine every wit
ness OF the plaintiffs. An offer was
mace oy the attorneys for the insurance
company to submit to cross-examina-
tlon put the attorneys for the defense
were undecided as to whom they wished
20 can frst and the court impatient of
delay adjourned.
