FIGURES ON PASSES.
Santa Fe Gives Out Some Figures for
That Road.

| The Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe
| Railroad company has prepared state
ment showing the number OF passengers
hauled in Kansas for the month of De
| cember, 1906, together with the number
who paid fare, the number who rode or
| passes and the number in each class OF
| persons to whom passes were issued
and the total amount of revenue col
| lected from the sale of tickets used in
This statement will be presented to
the committees of the legislature to
| which will be referred the various bills
offered for the modification of existing
A. A. Hurd, special counsel of the
Santa FEE, today gave out the percent
ages of the various classes of business
to the whole number of passengers
hauled. The number of passengers, to-
gether with the revenue collected, he
declined to give out at this time. Pre-
ferring to wait until II had been present.
ed to the legislative committees for
which it was prepared.
The statement shows the total amount
of interstate business, passengers haul
ed locally between stations within the
state, during the month of December,
"a $40 per cent of the whole; Santa Fe
employees and their families riding on
passes, II 40 per cent; employees OF
other roads riding on passes, 2-1O OF
per cent; all other passengers riding on
passes issued complimentary for all
accounts including political, lilo per
cent.
The portion of the statement relating
to interstate passenger business takes
into account all the earnings accruing
on the Santa Fe lines within the state
of Kansas on passenger business both
in and out of the state, and on business
moving across the state, but originat-
ing and ending outside the state. The
total number of interstate revenue pas
sengers constituted Is Clio per cent of
the whole; Santa Fe employees and their
IA mil ri6 III
cent; employees of other roads riding on
passes, 1 Ito per cent; and all other
passengers riding on complimentary
passes on all accounts, including politi-
cal. 1 $40 per cent.
After January first the per cent of
mplimentary transportation issued
for interstate trips Will doubtless be
less than it was during the month of
December q SOD on account of the
recent act of congress affecting the
issuance OF passes taking effect on that
date.
small in the December report because
the Santa Fe really cut off the issuance
of interstate transportation on August
%. But there will of course always be
greter or less number of passes
on complimentary account, to those
whom the law makes it possible to re-
ce:ve them.
1t will be seen from the statement
that the persons other than railway
employees riding on passes in Kansas,
that is from and to points within the
state, constitute but Ito per cent
of the total number of passengers so
carried.
1t is argued that 80 per cent Of this
number would not have been passen-
gers had it not been for the fact that
they had free transportation. Con-
it is apparent that the
Santa Fe at this time carries but few
other than railway EN-
ployes, from whom railway fare
might be collected.

annual session of the Kansas-Okla-

be held in Wichita January Fl and 22-
The purpose of the meeting is to
elect officers for the ensuing year, dis
cuss improved laundry methods and
improved machinery. The association
is also striving to improve the sanitary
conditions of the laundries and to raise
the standard of help throughout their
district.
About one hundred members from

night a banquet will be served.
The subject that will occupy most of
the associations time is the problem
of how best "the family washing may
be handled economically. At present
the amount of extra work required to
sort and mark each bundle makes the
work more expensive than it should
be.

YOUNG LADY RUNS AWAY.
Miss FranEenfieId of NTapieton Starts
for Canada Leaving Her Father.

Fort Scott, Kan, Jan. 1.-THE Tri-
bune says: The Tribune, a few days
ago mentioned the fact that Miss EN-
ma Frankenfield of Map1eton, this
county, had started for Toronto, On
tario, where she would make an ex-
tended stay. At that time that was
about all there was to say in connec-
ton with the girls departure. Since,
however, 1t seems that the young girl
has flown to the far northeast to meet
young man whom she loves and that
parties other than her parents aided
her in her flight Her departure leaves
Missouri Pacific brakeman, so the
story goes minus the girl he loved and
an effort is being made to capture the
girl who is 19 years old, and bring her
back home. A correspondent at Ma
pleton, the seat of the affair and where
much talk about the running away is
heard, sends the following story of the
girls leaving home and mentioning
those who aided her.
Miss Emma Frankenfield, who
lives at Mapleton and is 10 years old
came to Fort Scott Saturday night
and left Monday noon on the Frisco
for Toronto, Ontario. Her father. Err
win Frankenf1eld, is trying hard to
ca pture his runaway daughter, but up
to the present time he has been I'M
successful. 1t is rumored that she OBJ
tanned the money from Mrs. Carrie
Baker of Mapleton, as it is known that
she went to Mrs. Bakers home last
Saturday for the purpose, and it is
supposed she got the money from her,
otherwise Mr.. Frankenfield can't &C
count for his daughters getting away
as she had no money. 1t is supposed
Miss Frankenburg went to meet her
future friend as she said before she
left she preferred wealthy Canadian
rather than a Missouri Pacific brake
man Her father is left all alone. His
other daughter was married three
weeks ago. 1t is a severe blow to the
old gentleman who needs his daugh-
care''

TILT WITH ROOSEVELT.
Woman Says Race Suicide Is Some
thing to Be Proud OF.

Now York. Jan. 12.-Mrs. Charlotte
PerIzins Gilman has engaged in till
with President Roosevelt to convince
the executive that he had not only
misused the English Language when he
coined the race suicide phrase, but
that the decrease Of the population
was something of which to be proud.
.0The better the development of the
nerson the less we run to seed" de-
clared Mrs. Gilman, "the most fecuno
classes are the lowest. The decrease
in the birth-rate following the increas-
ed individual value of woman is
normal biological law. Nature does not
feel that the children of the brainy
woman are of such poor stuff that
they should not be perpetuated. But
as fast as women become real people
thew do not bring forth so much food
for the cannon, but the kind of citizen
that will not use cannon. We want not
more people but better people.
"When President Roosevelt talks
about race suicide he strains the Ian
guage. Man cannot kill what does not
exist. The true race suicide is child
labor"
Mrs. Gilman. who was addr rss the the
city at the Hotel Astor, touched l.. on

she had not read it, and had more con-
science, she said, than the ministers,
who rushed madly into print ABOUT
it." She then gave her own ideas On
the family.
.sThe idea of the family is not pre-
ordained, but one of slow DEVELOPMENT,
she continued; ''monogamy has been

ORDERED TO PAY.
German Insurance Company Must Set
tie San Francisco Losses.

San Francisco, Jan. 1.-THE North
German Insurance company of Ham
burg, which has been ordered by the
German court to pay the claims against
it, had risks to the amount of S4.500. 900
in the big fire of last April. The COM
pany denied all liability on the ground
of an earthquake clause in their poll
cies and has paid no claims. 1t is I'M
derstood by Insurance men here that
the suit in the German courts was to
test the validity of this particular
clause and that the decision is based
upon the punctuation of the clause. 1t
is understood that the decision hinged
upon the position of a comma or semi
colon in the clause and the interpreta-
ton of it in view of the punctuation
or error in punctuation.
According to insurance men here, sep
arate proofs of loss will now have to
be made and separate suits

HEREDITY A MENACE.
DIR. ID. r. Brewer Advocates Stern
Measures to Stamp Out Degeneracy.

Chicago, Jan. 12.-"There are Hotten-
tots living right here on the Lake Shore
drive in Chicago, and it is not their
fault
This statement from the lips of DR..
D. R. Brewer delivered in the course of
a lecture under the auspices of the Chi
cago Medical society at the public
library caused large and mixed au-
dience to sit up and take notice
Before them, flashed on screen from a
stereopticon. was the photograph of the
brain of a Hottentot. On the same slide
was the photograph of the brain of a
noted German savant, lately passed
away. The Hottentot erebrum
was as smooth as a Lincoln Park lagoon
on a midsummer day. That Of the Ger
twisted as a gnarled oak.
1T is one Of the problems confronting
latter-day science to eliminate the Hot
tentot brain from that element of So
ciety where it has the least right to be
found. 1t is also one of the SaddeSt sit
uations which men of science are COM
PEELED to face" said Dr. Brewer
The subject of the lecture was 1.-THE
Organ of Mind. Its Construction and
Preservation" fully illustrated with
stereopticon views indicating the
structure of the brain and the condi-
tons which result from heredity and
conditions which abound at present
times.
I'VE are living under laws which
were made for the ancient Romans"
continued DR.. Brewer. In the olden
days it was a brilliant achievement for
a father to hurl his Informed or de-
ficient offspring from a precipice. If
that child was SHARED in infancy then
it became, as an adult, prey for the
lions in the Coliseum. We have no
precipice and no such Coliseum
What the situation demands is a law
which will permit us in these modern
times to reach the same result that
the old Roman fathers accomplished
for society or what the Coliseum's
fatal feasts wrought.
"All of us have the right and the
duty to hand down to future genera
tons as perfect physical constitution
and body as we ourselves received.
Nay, more than that. it is an overpow-
ering duty to give to our progeny a
better physical body than we have in
herited.
I'm the view of what has been dis
covered in recent years by scientific
delivers, in view of what we have
learned of the horrors of heredity, it is
fairly criminal for this generation of
men and women to proceed further
along the lines that have guided the
greater part of civilization up to the
present day."

CONSUMPTION
WAS FEARED.

commended Peruna to me two years
ago. 1 began to take Peruna and now
am perfectly free from a cough.
81 am GLAD to say that Peruna cured
me entirely. I take Peruna OCCASION
ally when 1 do not feel well and l also
give it to my children.
'Peruna is the best medicine for
coughs and colds. 1 have told many
people how much Peruna has helped
me-"
Peruna tends to lessen the cough,
decreases the exDectOration, strength
ems the patient, increases the appetite
and in many cases procures sound, re-
freshing sleep.
But the value of Peruna in the
treatment of a case of consumption is
not so great as it is in the prevention
of consumption.
Since it is we'll known that con-
sumption begins with a common cold
or catarrh, any medicine that can be
relied upon to relieve these must be
regarded as a preventive of consump-
ton.
Thousands of cases of inciDient con-
sumption, or chronic coughs, or set
tied colds, have reported Peruna as
being a safe and reliable remedy for
these ailments.
