OF Public Works at its meeting last
night City Engineer Thornton, who
was instructed at a previous meeting
TO furnish an approximate estimate
or the cost of relaying the pavemen
on Palafox street, from Main to Gar
den streets, recommended that if the
pavement is relaid that concrete
base be laid for the pavement, and
figured the approximate cost of the
work of relaying the pavement at s16,-
2O5.4S, divided as follows: Pensacola
Electric Light company's portion, ST.

S3O.SS; city's portion, S4,415.44. The
communication was referred to the
council without recommendation from
the board.
+ In connection with the comrhunica-
ton from the city engineer relative
to the relaying of the Palafox street
pavement, the city attorney will be

NOT MUCH OPPOSITION

More than six thousand miles of
main line railroad track in America is
dispatched by telephone. The phone
is used in transmitting train orders
and blocking trains in almost every
part of the country. More than half
the railroads of the country use the
phone for these purposes on limited
parts of their system, and the tele-
phone mileage is growing rapidly. The
opposition of the telegraphers, al
though strenuous in the beginning,
has been less marked of late. Dis
cusSing the use of the phone in trans
mitting train orders the following de-
scription of it's use is given by an
expert:
A perfect and infallible record is
kept of every order which is transmit
ted. In giving a train order the train
dispatcher may have three or four sta
-tions cut in on his line, each agent
taking the order as it comes over the
phone. AS he sends the message the
dispatcher writes it in his order book.
thereby guaranteeing speed of
speech which will insure the ability
of the agents to receive the message.
In the same manner the agents write
down the message as it is given and
then it is repeated to the dispatcher
by each agent, who receives the 20 X
or acknowledgements of the dispatcher.
All the other agents concerned listen
to the repetition of the message, thus
checking each other.

Is very careful about her churn. She
scalds it thoroughly after using, and gives
It sun bath to sweeten it. She knows
that if her churn is sour it will taint the
butter that is made in it. The stomach Is
q churn. In the stomach and digestive
and nutritive tracts are performed pro-
cesses which are almost exactly like the
churning of butter. Is it not apparent
then that if this stomach-churn is foul it
makes foul all which is put into it?
The evil of a foul stomach is not alone
the bad taste in the mouth and the foul
breath caused by it, but the corruption of
the pure CURRENT of blood and the dissem-
ination of disease throughout the body.
DIR. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
makes the sour and foul stomach sweet.
1t does for the stomach what the washing
and sun bath do for the echurn-absolutely
removes every tainting or corrupting ele-
ment. In this way it cures bloteheS,
pimples, eruptions, scrofulous swellings,
sores, or open eating ulcers and all
humors or diseases arising from bad blood.
If you have bitter, nasty, foul taste in
your mouth, coated tongue, foul breath,
are weak and easily tired, feel depressed
and respondent, have frequent headaches,
dizzy attacks, gnawing or distress in stom-
ach, constipated or irregular bowels, sour

Fort Scott, Kan Dec. ia transac-

week which was mindful Of pioneer
days in Bourbon county, and it marks
the close of homesteading claims in
this county. Archie P. Wolf proved a
homestead claim on 40 acres of land
out in Marion township and the same

soon as the government land Office at
Topeka approves his showing made be-
fore Judge Hudson.
The proceeding is rather unique and
unheard of almost in this generation.
1t IS the only one brought in probate
court in almost 20 years, but prior to
20 years ago when Judge Hudson was
clerk of the district court, he was ia
mtliar with such proceedings, for they
were frequently filed in those olden

DEVELOPMENT WILL BE SLOW.
Western Roads Don't Like ReguIa-
ton Policies

The western railroad officials ex-
press a conviction that unless there is
a change in the policy of the regula-
ton of the western railroads there
will not be the building done in the
next ten years that there has been in
the past. Chairman Yoakum, of the
Rock Island lines, is positive that his
road cannot keep up its building op-
erations under the stress of hostile
legislation and he feels that the other
roads will be affected in the same
way He claims that the western
roads have been developing a new
country and that it has taken a good
deal more money than has ever been
secured from the traffic on the lines.
The money, he says, has been put into
the lines with a hope that some day
they would pay out He pointed out
the fact that last year there was no
building done except in places where
the managers felt certain that the
roads would pay from the first. All
of the lines that have been proposed
in this state and in Colorado would
not be built unless there was implicit
faith on the part of the roads con-
structing them that they would pay
dividends from the first. Under the
present regulation it appears to be

Burlington Official Testifes in Mis-

Kansas City, No. Dec. ia long
array Of statistics and figures that
have been told and retoId in the Mis-
souri, rate case hearing are being
given temporary rest by p s..
Eustis, passenger traffic manager OF
the Burlington railroad system. who
resumed the witness stand this morn
ing.
Mr.. Eustis told Of the railroading
days in Nebraska in the seventies
when the passenger rate was five
cents per mile and the law makers
had never dreamed of telling the
transportation companies what they
should charge. To induce settlement
OF land given them by the govern
ment the railroads carried home
seekers and their goods to the coun-
try free of cost, said Mr.. Eustis and
later the roads of their own volition
reduced the passenger rate to four
cents a mile. In 1882 the state legis-
lature, composed in part of some of
the early homeseekers demanded a
further reduction and later Nebraska
fell in line with the other states and
now has 2 cent passenger law. The
witness further said it would cost so
per cent more to handle state thar
interstate traffic.

COAST INTERESTS PROTEST.
Don't Want Increase in Western
Freight Rates.

San Francisco, Dec. 19.-H. A.
Jones, freight traffic manager of the
Southern Pacific company, was the
recipient yesterday of emphatic pro-
tests from several large shipping
firms against the proposed increase in
tariffs on west bound freight. Specific
complaints were lodged by the pro-
testants against the raising of rates on
raw materials, particularly on lin
seed oil of which a considerable
quantity is imported by state paint
manufacturers, on the ground that
Pacific coast manufacturers would be
placed at a disadvantage under the
new rate because eastern finished pro-
ducts would be imported at a lower
figure than the crude materials re-
quired in manufacture by local firms.
The protests also extended to several
other lines of industry.

given by the method of sending and
repeating the MESA geS or orders. All
the names and numbers are spelled
out and then repeated after the spell
ing. The following is an example of
the method of transmitting and re-
peating orders, the hyphenated words
and figures being those which are
spelled:
"Order No. f-o-r-t-y-n-i-n-e (four
nine.)
''To c. & f. No. f-i-f-t-y-f-i-v-e
Give five) Extra e-l-e,v-e-n SIXTY

f-i-f-t-y-f-i-v-e Give five), engine
sre-v-e-n (seven). JONES (Jones),
will meet at B-o-m-b-a-y (Bombay)
instead of B-a-n-g-o-r (Bangor)"
AS the message is repeated by the
agents, the dispatcher underscores
each word, showing that it has been
repeated and 80 KID" by him. and
thus it appears in his order book.
In handling train orders by tele-
phone all the rules and regulations
governing train movement remain the
same as under the telegraph. Moth
ing in the rules or the practice has
been changed in this respect, the only
difference being that the men talk
together instead of communicating by
the telegraph key. The celerity with
which business can be transacted is
represented by saving of fully so per
cent in time. In reaching the stations
the dispatched saves great deal of
valua BILE time. Before him is a board
with a lot of push buttons resembling
the buttons on a telephone exchange
board. Each button corresponds to a
station which is equipped with four
inch gong. The dispatcher can push
all of his buttons successfully and Sc
cure his entire quota of stations in an
incredibly short space of time. 1t
matters not where the agent may be.
If he is on the premises he will hear
his bell, and if he is off them, some OF
the disturbed citizens will hear it and
hasten to get him in order to have the
din stopped, for his bell rings until
he answers.
One of the main elements of safety
development by the phone lines is the
fact that the dispat cher's work is
greatly facilitated. He has much more
time to become familiar with his
''train sheet" showing the location of
trains on his division. Furthermore,
he is in constant and almost instant
touch with all of the men on his d.
vision In case of complications he
can talk with his men and can talk
with conductors of trains, securing
from them a speedy and comprehen-
sive knowledge of the situation. which
it would be impossible to get by tele-
graph, even though hours were con-
sumed in the attempt. This constant
personal contact between dispatcher
and operating force is already having
a remarkable effect upon discipline
and efficiency.

contest between Dorando, Shrubb,
Longboat and Hayes will be held soon
thereafter.
Shrubb holds all the worlds records
from five to fifteen miles, but there
he stops. He has said repeatedly that
human endurance was not able to
stand lnoger journey as regular
thing. Longboat is essentially a run
ner of long distances. He does not
seem to warm up to his task until
nearly twenty miles have been cover
ed. Then he has the sprint left that
few runners can Withstand.
Dorando Pietri gave an odd excuse
foreinis defeat by Longboat the night
before, and he hobbled a trif1e as the
result of the fall when he collapsed in
tho last mile. He was running behind
the Indian at the time, following the
pace as closely as he could. He in
sists that he touched the foot of his
opponent and was thrown off his bal
ance. The fall he says, caused his
retirement. To those gathered close
to the course his explanation will not
serve.
Neither Tom Longboat, the Cana
dian Indian, nor Dorando, who was
defeated in the Marathon run at Madi-
son Square garden last Tuesday. will
