families there. If a man after staying
the allotted time desires to bring his
wife to the isthmus, government house
is assigned to him for stated rental
The size of the house regulated accord
ing to the salary he draws. These houses
are furnished throughout except with
dishes and bed clothes. These the en-
ployes must furnish.
Mr.. Titus said the work on the Is
thmus was progressing rapidly not
withstanding the pessimistic reports TO
the contrary that reach the states. All
work is being done under the immedf-
ate supervision of the isthmus Canal
commission and the I. c. c. is RESPONSE
BILE to congress. Work is now being
done on the Culebra cut. This cut is
down 400 feet now and must be sunk
SIS feet more. The Culebra cut passes
through the highest elevation on the
isthmus. The Culebra hill is fish
back extending the entire length or
the isthmus. A part of this excavation
is made through solid rock and the re-
naming through a looser combination
of sand, shale, clay, gravel etc. 1t Is
harder to excavate through the rock
but it would be better If the whole
were solid rock as then there would
be no possibility of a cavein. The ex-
cavations must be made much farther
back where this loose substance is pass
ed through This is to prevent a pos
sible landslide. Nothing short of an
earthquake could cause a, cave1n but
one seismic shock of so seconds dura-
ton could, says Mr.. Titus, fill the canal
with dirt that would require ~ years
of work to remove.

tatives patronage, and Is going after
it in earnest within the next few
weeks.
The effort on the part of the Kansas
age committee, designated at the late
delegation meeting at Topeka, con-
sisting of Representatives Scott,
Campbell and Reeder.
Mr.. Scott and Mr.. Campbell are al
ready in town, and have seen the Of
f1cers of the house, who are also the
prospective officers Of the new house
that will convene on December 2, and
are trying to line out something good
for Kansas
late; for all the big officers of the new
house are just about as good as elect
ed now, and of course their subordin-
ates and candidates for the good
places under them have long been in
the field and have been successfully
pressed for places.
If Kansas had come to the conclu-
sion that 1t was too short on house
patronage about the time when con-
gress adjourned last spring, it might
have been possible to secure one Of
the four big places in the house or
ganization. These are: Clerk, SER
geant-at-arms, doorkeeper and post
master. The clerk, Major Mcdowell,
the ergeant-at-arms, Mr.. Casson, and
the doorkeeper, Mr.. Lyon, who have
held these positions for years, will be
reelected, or at least there has so far
been no opposition to them. But the
postmaster, an Ohio man, died last
spring, and If the Kansas delegation,
at one time in recent years the largest
solid Republican delegation in the
house, had gone to work, it might
have landed the place.
As 1t is now, the best the patronage
committee can hope to do for the del
egation is assistant postmaster, and
this Is by no means certain. How
ever, one or two good places may yet
be saved
There Is not much now in the way
of house patronage that Kansas can
boast Of. There are two capitol po-
licemen, at about $1,100 per annum;
Mr.. Reeder's brother-in-1aw, H. A.
Andrews of Phillips county Is a file
clerk at $1,600; there is a doorkeeper,
a messenger or two, and a mail-driv-
er, with one or two minor folding
room positions, now to the credit of
the delegation. AS stated above, it
may be possible to land the assistant
postmastership, but 1t Is not certain.
At any rate, the patronage commit
tee, now represented here by Mr..
Campbell and Mr.. Scott, is doing some
hard work at this late hour, and it Is
hoped 1t may be successful

The vocation Of preaching is a very
trying one, especially to the throat and
lungs. The preacher must stand be-
fore large audiences, frequently in
lily ventilated rooms, sometimes over
heated, and other times filed with
dangerous drafts. The preacher is
frequently called upon to stand in
such places and preside at a service
an hour or more in length.
This is the most trying test that can
possible be put to the vocal organs.
The liability to catarrh is very great.
This is so universally true that the
majority of preachers have catarrh, in
more or less pronounced form.
Many preachers have found Peruna
of use to them, to prevent as well as
to relieve the catarrh ailments 60
which the preacher is constantly sub

be a very common expression. 1t Is

PRICE OF GAS GOES UP.
Leavenworth Manufacturers Forced to
Use Coal Again.

Leavenworth, Kan, Nov. 16.-Man-
ager Springer of the Leavenworth
Light & Heating company, yesterday
afternoon, sent out notices to those
who have been using natural gas for
manufacturing and power purposes
that after December 1 the price of gas
for such purposes would be greatly
increased.
The prices to be charged after De-
cember L will be SO high that the
plants now using gas will revert back
to COAL and this was the object of the
Kansas Natural Gas company in max
ing the price so high that no one
would care to use it for manufacturing
or power purposes. 1t was merely a
step to protect domestic consumers
during the cold months when the sup
ply is liable to run short at any time.
