Proof of Merit.

The proof of the merits of plaster Is the cures it effects, and the voluntary testimonials of those who have used Allcock's Plasters during the past sixty years is unimpeachable evidence of their superiority and should convince the most skeptical. Self-praise is no recom- mendation, but certificates from those who have used them are.
 Allcock's are the original and genuine porous plasters and have never been equaled by those who have sought to trade upon their reputation by making plasters with holes in them. Avoid sub stitutes as you would counterfeit money

Augustus Thomas, the well-known playwright, was talking about first nights and the heartrending anxiety of them. "On my own first nights" he said, "I am a pitiable object, utterly without hope, convinced In advance that my play Is bound to fall.

the signal department to the position of
assistant supervisor of the central
grand division with headquarters at
Newton. H K. Ferguson, general cleo
trical foreman of this department is
transferred to La Junta as assistant
supervisor Of the western grand divis-
ion.
The business of the signal engineering
department has assumed such proper
lions within the last month that it has
been impossible to direct all the work
from Topeka. This is the reason as
signed for the change.
The signal department, while it is not
generally recognized as one of the i'm
portant departments in the operation of
railway system, has great deal to do
with the safety of passengers. All the
signals which are utilized for the safe
running OF trains come under the juris-
diction of this department. The signal
engineer has direct oversight over the
block and automatic signals employed
on the system. Interlocking plants also
fall under the jurisdiction of his de-
partment. Their special object is the
safe running of trains. With the
change in the organization comes the
announcement that the signal systems
in use on the Santa Fe will be perfect
ed to a higher standard.

WANTS 1T REVIEWED.
Great Northern Is Dissatisfied With the
Appellate Courts Verdict.

Washington, Nov. 11.-Attorney A.
B. Browne of this city today presented
a petition to the supreme court of the
United States for a writ of certiorari
bringing to that court for review the
case of the Great Northern Railway
company versus the United States.
This case is a pros ecution against the
railroad company on the charge of
granting rebates, on which charge it
was found guilty in the federal court
of Minnesota and the verdict was ap-
proved by the United States circuit
court of appeals.
The case presents many interesting
phases, the most important is the COM
panys assertion that the Elkins law.
under which a fine was imposed, was
repealed by the Hepburn railroad rate
law, which imposed a penalty of i'm
prisonment for the offense. If the
court grants the motion to bring the
case before it for consideration this
question will be discussed at length.

MARKED IA FOR DEATH.
Drunken Butler stopped With One and
Killed Himself.

White Plains, N. Y. Nov 11.-John
Bjorlin, butler at the Hillair farm, the
country home of Paul G. Thebaud
New York multi-millionaire and social
leader, killed himself today after he
had shot and dangerously wounded his
employers son, Paul G. Thebaud. Jr.
Bjorlin, who was head servant, had
planned to kill Paul, his mother. and
II servants. Mrs. Thebaud was mo.
q on the list. He had list on which
Paul was marked mo. l." Bjorlin had
been drinking. 1t is believed that the
drink accumulated a tendency to insan-
ity which it is known he had.
Last week after the butler had been
drinking for several days, he showed
two servants piece of paper and said:
Your names are all down on This: ri
get you all. But I'll get Paul first"
Because of his position as head man
and because of the drink that was in
him, they did not report this incident
to any of the family. But it was the
hrst thing they thought of and told
today when the shots awoke them in
the morning.
1t is believed that the sight of his
first victim brought him out of his
murderous mania, for when his bullet
reached the boys forehead, he paused
only few seconds before turning the
revolver upon himself. The shots were
close together. Bjorlin had been de-
voted 10 Paul Tor four years, and the
boy had returned the warm friendship
in hearty boyish fashion. With the
man dead and his victim unconscious
no account could be had of the actual
shooting.

with their Wallets before. In 1902 Ed
ward Kern, Swiss servant, robbed
the country and city homes of his en-
ployer of about $4,000 worth of jew
els Kern made a very favorable i'm

first began his work. He was humility

same nature. Later Kern introduced
