PROSECUTIONS PERSECUTION

When the big sugar refinery was to
be built at Garden City, the Santa Fe
road, which, by the way, made Garden
City. 'chipped in" with some money to
help build it. If the new industry was
to be success, which it will not be,
then the Santa Fe would be the bene-
ficiary, for every ton of beets hauled
in and every sack of sugar hauled out
would pay freight to the Santa Fe
road.
The Santa Fe has spent hundreds
and hundreds of thousands of dollars
in the southwest in aiding enterprises
and building towns. No one ever be-
fore questioned the right of the road
to help build town that would bring
it business when built The road had
as much right to do that as a citizen
has to contribute money to build a
church, or to erect factory. But the
new school of reformers smelled a rat.
They went after the Santa Fe, and got
an indictment against the road for
giving rebates. The jury construed
the donation as a rebate" The pos
sible fines against the road for this
horrible crime will amount to $780,
900.
In other words, the Santa Fe must
not hereafter give aid or comfort or
encouragement or cash to any enter
prise that will build up the country
through which it goes, nor help in any
way the citizens of a town to develop
their industries. 1t was a business
proposition for the Santa Fe to help
erect the sugar refinery. The Gazette
does not believe it was good business,
because it does not believe the beet
sugar industry will prove success.
But that is neither here nor there
The Santa Fe and the Garden City
people take their chances on that and
they know more about it than the Ga
zette does. If the industry is a sue
cess, 1t will not only inure to the bene-
MT OF the people of the upper Arkansas
valley in Kansas, but to the whole
country in general, and to the Santa
Fe railroad in particular. The gov
eminent itself has been giving a bonus
to the sugar growers all these years. a
part of the time in cash to the pro-
ducers, and part of the time in a
tariff on their products. The action of
the government in indicting the rail-
road for doing exactly what the gov
eminent itself has done for years and
is doing now is so inconsistent as to
be absurd
And if this is to be the policy DUR
sued, and if this is the theory of the
government in regard to the law pro-
h1b1ting rebates, where will the Santa
Fe and every other pioneer road. land?
From Topeka to Coolige and from
Newton to Arkansas City and Kiowa,
there is not town in Kansas that
has not been given assistance by the
Santa Fe road. 1t has done something.
sometimes more and sometimes less.
Tor each and every one of them, but
there is not one that has not been
helped in local enterprises by the
Santa Fe. If this policy of the gov
eminent is to be carried out, there is

New Name for Grenadine.

For dressy wear and especially for
day functions of all kinds nothing is
more fashionable this season than the
silken fabrics which are displayed in
such profusion in all the shops and
importing establishments. Particular
ly sought after are the soft, clinging
silks, the mousselines, the liberties
and the novelty foulards. For a COM
paratively new material marQuisette
has perhaps made as great name for
itself as any other, and this season
it will be one of the most popular
materials for all kinds of dressy
frocks. Our grandmothers would
probably have called it "grenadine,"
but we find many old and well-tried
favorites disporting under new names
and thus claiming attention as novel
ties. Marquisette adapts itself charm
ingly to all kinds of trimming
schemes, whether elaborate or plain
and is perhaps at its best when decor
ated with bands of chiffon taffeta in
self tone or in a slightly contrasting

The Picture and the Story.

F. R. Whiteside, sorrowing over the
painters lack of proper appreciation
In the Bookman, asks why the painter
should be expected to paint story,
saying that although the painter de-
ponds upon the writer for his widest
publicity, the writer discusses the
idea, the meaning of the picture, to
the exclusion of the qualities that to
the painter are reason for it's exist
ence. when the painter writes about
a picture" says Mr.. Whiteside, ''he
speaks of the qualities he sees in 1t,
qualities of selection, form, color and
composition, but has little to say about
the subject. The average layman
frankly admits that he knows nothing
about pictures; but he generally quail
fies his remark with, I know what
like And usually that is some picture
that he has read about, or that appeals
to him through its storytelling quail
ties. If his interest goes deeper-in-
stead of securing his knowledge at
first hand from pictures themselves,
he gets book on How to Study Pic
tures,' written by man unframed in
the painters art, unfamiliar with his
aims, and out of sympathy with his
point of view. A writer would be
amply justified in vigorously object
ing to painter as reviewer of his
books: musician would naturally
protest against a sculptor as musical
critic. The position of the painter is
Identical"

The New ParasoIs.

The new parasols are almost with
out exception supplemented with i'm
mensely long sticks, the tops taking
all manner of fanciful forms, gener-
ally of an pathological description
With simple cotton dresses, however,
the plain crystal or chased gold knob
surrounding the long ebony stick ap-
pears to be the favorite, while a new
idea is that of tying bunch of black
velvet peoples with golden centers
midway in the center of the stick,
with a small bow of shot black and
gold ribbon. A very attractive nov
city for a more elaborate description
of sunshade was illustrated by white
chiffon parasol, painted in gold roses,
each spoke being tipped with a tiny
rose

Considerable attention has lately
been attracted to what is called "the
madman's will" The testator, des-
cribed as Charles Lounsbury, an in
sane pauper in an Illinois hospital"
gives to boys "jointly, all the useful
idle fields and commons where ball
may be played, and all snow-clad hills
where one may coast, and all streams
and ponds where one may skate, to
have and to hold the same for the
period of their boyhood; and all
meadows with the clover blooms, and
the butterflies thereof; and all woods
with their appurtenances of squirrels
and whirring birds and all echoes and
strange noises" and so on for several
more items. The will was written
as a literary amusement by a young
army officer, since changed into
lawyer, and was published as such in
Harper's Weekly for September 8,
1898. But notwithstanding this, every
boy, when he attains years of appreci-
alton, enters into the enjoyment of
the requests.

Drivino Into Nets

In the old days every southern gen.
tleman had his net for quail The
drive was an event in the county. Our
youth of to-day may never enjoy such
sport. In the proper season the neigh
bors were invited. All came on horse
back, for while quail will rise from
the approach of dog or man, they
will run along the ground ahead of a
gentle horse. Much skill was required
to drive a covey into the net. AS many
as 30 horsemen would form a semi
circle and slowly, patiently, silently
make the roundup, all driving toward
the common center, yet from one gen.
eral direction only, and that always
against the wind. The net had been
set facing the wind An impatient
man on fractions horse might des-
troy the work of half a day by flush
ing entire coveys.

Untrimmed Tailor Made Model.

The best tailors continue to set a

tailor styles with their smart touches

by putting few drops of acid on il

IS Pe-ru-na Useful
for catarrh?

Should a list of the ingredients Of Pc
runa be submitted to any medical ex-
pert of whatever school or nationality,
he would be obliged to admit without
reserve that each one of them was ofun-
doubted value in chronic catarrhal dis
eases, and had stood the test of many
years experience in the treatment of
such diseases. THERE CAN BE NO
DISPUTE ABOUT THIS WHAT
EVER. Peruna is composed ofthe most
eficacious and universally used herbal
remedies for catarrh. Every ingredient
of Peruna has reputation of its own
in the cure of some phase of catarrh.
Peruna brings to the home the COM
BINED KNOWLEDGE OF SEVERAL
SCHOOLS OF MEDICINE in the treat
ment of catarrhal diseases; brings to
the home the scientific skill and nowl-
edge of the modern pharmacist; and last
butnotleast, brings to tie home thevast
and varied experience of DR.. Hartman,
intheuse of catarrh remedies, and in the
treatment of catarrhal diseases.
The fact is, chronic catarrh is dis
ease which is very prevalent. Many
thousand people know they have
chronic catarrh. They have visited
doctors over and over again, and been
told that their case is one of chronic
catarrh. It may be of the nose, throat,
lungs, stomach or some other internal
organ. There is no doubt as to the ma
ture of the disease. The only trouble
is the remedy. This doctor has tried to
cure them. That doctor has tried to
prescribe for them.
BUT THEY ALL FAILED TO
BRING ANY RELIEF.
DR.. Hartman's idea is that catarrh
remedy can be made on a large ssale,
as he is making it; that it can be made
honestly, of the purest drugs and of
the strictest uniformity. His idea is
that this remedy can be supplied direct
ly to the people, and no more be charged
for it than is necessary for the
handling of it.
No other household remedy so uni
versally advertised carries upon the
label the principal active constituents
showing that Peruna invites the full
inspection of the critics.

Charcoal an Antidot.

Japanese physicians declare it Is
impossible for internal poisoning to &C.
eur if powdered charcoal be swallowed
as soon as the gastro-intestinal dis
turbance is felt. French physicians
have tested the power of charcoal, and
proved that it is the most active of all
known antidotes. The charcoal must
be taken as soon as the poison taken
begins to show it's effect, and the
doses must be large. Charcoal is in
no way injurious, and as much as a
soupspoonful may be taken in divided
doses mixed in water.
