TELLS OF OBSTACLES

One cannot contemplate the car service with
satisfaction. but the unsatisfactory service does
not result wholly from lack Of cars. We arc
getting from our cars their full efficiency. and
fhis Is natural. The building going on all over
the city. the hauling OF henvy material and Of
debris BY r1esns Of slow moving teams. all tend
IT is no pleasure for the company to run
fits cars in punches" Good railroading calls
for proper spacing OF cars. stoppage in
traffic piles up several cars, the first car is
crowded and fares are lost and the public in
conven ienced. The punching" Of cars Is a dis
tinct loss 20 the company. but cannot
avoid &c. We are trying 10 minimize IL, and have
avoid obstruction, and have ordered an emer-
gency crew 70 be in constant attendance in
Market street 70 quickly care for stalled teams
or any other happening that obstructs travel.
Delays through teams snd hauling cannot be
wholly avoided and we suffer in consequence.
"Bunching" Of cars is not due. except
in a small degree, TO distractions on
the tracks, but 10 grounded wires. ex-
plodinR fuses, broken tenders and de-
moralized equipment Cars do some
times bunch on account Of teams get
ting on the tracks. but where this is
once the cause the condition Of the
cars themselves are the cause four
times out OF FIVE. Where teams have
been, stalled it has been as much the
fault Of the torn-up condition Of the
streets rendered so by the United Rail-
roads as Of the municipal administra-
tien.
Continuing. Chapman says:
The condition at the foot Of Market street,
owing to the sewer construction going down
there. has caused many vexatious delays And
n must not be lost 10 mind that many OF the
lines over which are operating are being
entirely recoustructed while the cars are in Ope-
ration over them.
Personally. I feel that criticism Of the com
pany should be tempered. The only man who
does not make mistakes is the man who does
nothing. The company has had everything 10
DO and has done fl snd is doing IT, II we
have made no mistakes, 81 wOnld be little
short Of miraculous.
The public undoubtedly sincerely
hopes that President Caihoun's and
Manager Chapman's promises for a
perfect car service" will come true.
buJ II also earnestly desires that these
promises shall not be of that sort
which have failed of materializat ton
in the past.

DOESN'T EXPLAIN ALL

In the foregoing Mana ger Chapman
fOrgets that the Sutter Street Improve
ment Club and many property owners
along the line of the Suffer street road
had on many occasions before the fire
urged the United Railroads 10 recon
struct the Sutter street line as a con
duit road, that unsightly poles and
dangerous overhead wires might be
eliminated and the thoroughfare made
in every sense what is implied in "one
OF the most perfect streets in the
city"
The United Railroads persistently re-
fused to build a modern conduit line.
and the disaster Of April is gave the
corporation opportunity 10 build just
such road as the mana cement knew

ager Chapman adds
We are short Of cars. It is said that we
would have had cars enough Il we had not absn-
doned cable for electricity. When our electric
lines are in proper operation the citizen who
would suggest going back 10 the cable on our
principal thOroughfares would be regarded as a
crank.

Kansas City Stock Yards, Oct
22nd, 1907.
The cattle market has a lower
tendency this week with the ex-
ception of StockerS and feeders,
which are selling steady A big
run of rangers at Chicago yes
terday had a bad influence, and
there is also a disposition all over
the feeding section to push cat
tie on the market in an immature
condition, that have been on feed
short time, or were being fed
corn on the grass, because of the
recent advances in the price of
corn. Supply here today is IT,
600 head. Range cattle are com
ing freely and will likely keep on
coming till a bad storm stops
vance in corn prices, feeder buy
ers are active here this week,
and trade in this line has been of
the customary large volume
right along. Prime fed steers
are scarce on the general mar
ket. Some fancy fat steers that
were on exhibition at the Royal
show here last week sold Fri
day at $7.75 to 1925, but the top
otherwise was $500. Best price
today is $500. with fairly large
number of fed steers at $500 to
$500, half feed steers at 1925 to
$500, grass steers So. IS to 20.
cows $2.75 to So. so, heifers $500
to $4.25, bulls $40 to 1915,
veals up to $3.50, heavy calves
1925 to 81. so, stock steers $500
to $4.4O, feeders 1915 to $4.75.
Some show steers in the range
division of the Royal sold at $4.75
to $5.35 to go back to the coun-
try. October cattle receipts
will show gain over the same
month last year, but are not
quite as heavy as during Sep
TENDER this year.
the hog market is breaking
badly this week, market off 5 to
Is cents both yesterday and to-
day, top today $6.15, bulk $500
to $6.1O. The heavier weights
are coming to the front rapidly,
and all weights sell pretty close
together where quality is equal.
A good many inferior light hogs
sell under $500, and pigs S.. IS
to $3.50. Receipts are gradually
increasing here, $4,000 here last
week, and $4,000 today, which is
about 20 per cent heavier than
the supply was running a year
ago at this time
Sheep and lambs are coming
in moderate numbers, and the
market is firm A large proper
ton of receipts are sold for the
country, demand for which class
holds up good. Feeding lambs
bring $500 to $500, wethers and
yearlings $4.75 to S.. 40, breeding
ewes 81. 25 to $5.75. Fat lambs
bring 500 to $7.35, some fancy
wethers yesterday at 1913, ewes
up to $5.35. The range season
will close early in November No
fed stuff has been offered yet
this fall.

Library Notes.

At the last meeting of the
Tourist club the library affairs
were discussed and reports OF
the working of other libraries
were listened to.
All libraries instituted by
women's clubs charge their
patrons dollar a year, expert
ence showing that is the least by
which a library can grow and
live.
AS the first year of the exis-
tence of the Wa-Keeney Public
Library had now expired, on mo-
ton it was voted that the cards
for the year 1908 be given out
on payment of fifty cents by
each patron.
All patrons of the Wa-Keeney
Public Library please take notice
all cards now out must be
handed in and new cards will be
issued for the coming year on
payment of so cents.
Please come prepared to get
your new cards.
This fee entities the holders OF
cards to the use of all libraries
without extra charge.
Many of the libraries in this
state have been begun in a very
small way by the women's clubs.
Salina opened their library with
only about fifty books and now
are beautifully and conveniently
housed in Carnegie building.
Abilene began small and soon
will erect a handsome Carnegie
library.
Minneapolis women still run
their library themselves.
After hearing of the libraries
and their methods, we can take
new heart and courage that we
are in the right way and not q
whit behind the best of them,
considering the time we have
been at work.

Thomas A. Edison, the great

Thomas A. Edison, the great
American inventor, says Fully
eighty percent of the illness of
mankind comes from eating inn
proper food or too much food;
people are inclined to over-in-
dulge themselves. This is
where indigestion finds it's be-
ginning in nearly every case.
The stomach can do just so much
work and no more, and when
you overload it, or when you eat
the wrong kind of food, the di-
gestive organs cannot possibly
do the work demanded of them.
1t is at such times that, the
stomach needs help; it demands
help, and warns you by head
aches, belching, sour stomach,
nausea and indigestion. You
should attend to this at once by
taking something that will actual
ly do the work for the stomach.
Kodol will do this. It is a COM
bination of natural digestants
and vegetable acids and contains
the same juices found in
healthy stomach. It is pleas
ant to take. It digests what
you eat Sold by w. w. GIBSON.
