WHEN YOUR BACK ACHES

A bad back turns every twenty-four
hours into one duh round of pain and
misery-you are lame in the morning,
nagged all day by a dull, throbbing
oackache, can't rest in the evening or
sleep well at night It hurts to bend
over straighten up, get up from a
chair, or lift even light weight. Any
sudden twist, turn or awkward move
ment sends tearing twinge of pain
through the weak spot.
Backache is really kidney-ache. The
kidneys are in the small of the back,
and any pain there is enough cause to
suspect your kidneys If the urine is
olscolored, contains sandy sediment, or
passes too frequently, then you have
double proof.

POSTAL LAW CHANGE.
A Revolution in the Present System
Is Contemplated.

Washington, Dec. 1.-The four
offices of assistant postmaster general
will be abolished, director of posts
with seven assistants provided for and
| the entire postal service of the United
States divided into fifteen separate
districts if the bill for the revision of
the postal laws which is being pre-
pared by the joint postal investigation
commission of congress appointed two
years ago, is passed by congress. The
commission has been in session for
the past week and by holding daily
meetings expects to complete the
work this week.
1t is claimed that a director of
posts appointed to hold office until re-
moved for cause and who shall re-
ceive a high salary will tend to i'm
prove the service through continuity
of policies for the benefit of the pos
tai service. BY providing for seven
assistants the disadvantages due to
frequent changes and the appoint
ment of inexperienced men to the
general can, it is believed be obviated.
The assistant directos are also to hold
office during good behavior. To per-
feet the system of management the
provision for fifteen superintendent
to have direct charge of the fifteen
separate postal districts has been de-
cided on. Another provision of the
bill is the assignment of certain duties
now performed by the third assistant
appeals. This commission would is
sue all fraud orders and pass on the
admission to the mails of second class
matter. The codification of the pos
tai laws is also a part of the work re-
quired of the commission.

L. T. Cooper, the man who claims
that stomach trouble is responsible for
most iil-health, is continuing to at

Cooper is explaining his theory and

New York.
While giving his opinion of the
cause of so much sickness among the
present generation, in a recent inter
view Cooper said: 1.-The amazing part
of modern life in this city, and every
other in America. is the rush and hur-

KATY ROAD TO FIGURE

New York, Dec. las news of the
conference between interests represent
ing the Missouri, Kansas & Texas and
the Hawley lines leaks out day to day.
there appears to be reasonable grounds
for the suspicion that there will be an
actual consolidation of the Chicago &.
Alton, the Toledo, st. Louis & Western,
the Minneapolis & st. Louis, the Iowa
Central and the Missouri, Kansas &
Texas.
1t has been admitted that negotiations
are about concluded for a close traffic
agreement, involving all these lines, and
that plans are under consideration for
the building of links to connect them
and, in a practical way, form a new
system. The impression is existent here
that an agreement of this kind at
least, will be made.
But information received from Hreli-
able sources tends to show that close
traffic arrangement is contemplated as
the first step toward an actual merger
of the five companies. The sources of
this information are beyond question,
and it is believed that a tentative plan
of consolidation is under consideration.
When the Toledo, st. Louis & West
ern acquired the Alton, there was a
proposition for merging these two lines
Immediately with the Minneapolis & ST.
Louis and the Iowa Central and ulti-
mately with the Missouri, Kansas &
Texas. The plan was stopped by the
commercial and financial depression.
There would be little difficulty in con-
soIidating the Toledo, st. Louis & West
ern, the Alton, the Minneapolis & st.
Louis and the Iowa Central, as the
same interests control all these pro-
perties. A. H. Joline, chairman and
president of the Missouri. Kansas &
Texas, is general counsel of the Toledo,
st. Louis & WESTERN and it is inferred
that the relationship between him and
the HaWley interests is intimate enough
to afford a fair chance for the conSid-
Grafton of a merger plan.
1t is said that the absorption Of the
Alton by the Toledo, St. Louis & West
ern was only temporary adjustment.

whereas the Rock Island interests |

have been merely a 1formality and the

EVOLUTION IN RAILROAD NAMES.
Growth Has Made Many of Them
Inappropriate.

Did it ever occur to YOU asked
the assistant passenger agent, chow
inappro priately many of the railroads
of the country are named? Some of
them have far Outgrown the modest
titles with which they started and 9TH
ers have never realized the grand
am billions of their infancy. Take the
New York, New Haven & Hartford,
for instance. New Haven and Hart
ford are now mere way stations. Hart
ford isn't even on the main line. 1t
would have been logical if the road
had taken the name of the New York
& New England, one of the smaller
concerns which it gobbled UP about
fifteen years ago; but, of course, mere
exactness is trif1ing in comparison with
the Inconvenience of such a change.
In Boston they call it the Consolidated
road, which is proper enough. In New
York it is the New Haven line, which
is as fitting as it would be to call the
Pennsylvania company the Trenton
road.
New York Central & Hudson River
is all right for the parent corporation,
but is wretchedly inadequate for the
giant syctem which consists of dozen
roads in as many states, the cars of
which are marked New York Central
Lines The Hudson River end of the
line is only a trifiing part of the huge
mileage, and those two words could
we'll be dropped. The case of the
Pennsylvania is similar. It, too, has
thousands of miles of tracks outside
the state from winch II takes its name.
1.-The name of the Delaware Lacka-
wanna & Western omits mention of the
chief terminus of the road-New York
The word Erie isn't particularly de-
scriptive. but the title is lots more
than the former cumber-
some one-New York, Lake Erie &
Western. The Philadelphia & Reading
has far outgrown the limits originally |
set for it; SO have the Louisville & |
Nashville, the Baltimore & Ohio, the |
CheSaDeake e Ohio. the Chicaeo e |
Alton, the Chicago & Rock Island, the |
Chicago, Burlington & Quincy, the Chi |
cago, Milwaukee & st. Paul, the Illi-
nois Central and a lot of others. Atchi-
son, Topeka & Santa Fe are all in /
significant points on a magnificent road /
that stretches from Chicago to San
Francisco.
Some names, however, are an anti |
climax. The Missouri Pacific never
gets a Whit of the salt sea breeze; the

DECENNIAL CENSUS ONLY.
Decision of Judge Nickel May Stop
Annual County Enumeration.

Emporia, Kan, Dec. 1.-The decis-
ion of Judge Nickel of the Fifth jul
dicial district here to sustain the mo-
ton to quash writ of mandamus
issued against the county assessors to
compel them to take a new census of
Emporia, brings to light curious
condition of facts. All of the counties
of the state have been taking an an
nuaI census, whereas if the finding of
the court is sustained the law only
calls for census every ten years, thus
sands of dollars every year without
the authority of law. The finding in
the case was that the law only calls
for a decennial census. The law of
1873 calling for an annual census was
repealed by an act in 1875 and a
clause in the fees and salaries act de-
termining the pay Of certain county
officials reads as if the act calling for
an annual enumeration was still in
force. This and the fact that the
blanks sent out to the assessors in all
counties contain spaces for the taking
of the enumeration caused the county
official to make the mistake of think
ing an annual enumeration was re-
quired by law. The case which led to
this discovery came about in this man
ner: The enumeration books in the
hands of the county clerk were found
to have been padded and an investiga-
ton showed that the assessors had
been careless in their work. They
were ordered by the county attorney
to go over a part of their work. but
no funds being available by law to
pay for their work they refused to do
it. The county attorney then brought
a mandamus action against them.
The importance attached to whether
the enumeration was correct or not
is that the salaries of county officials
are fixed by the number of inha bitants
and the padding of the census kept
the salaries higher than they would
have been if the figures showed 40
fewer inha bitants. County Attorney
Harris consulted Attorney General
Jackson in regard to the matter but
Jackson could find no authority for an
annual CENSUS

TROUBLE is BREWING.
Engineers ON Pennsylvania Road i'm
| Serious Controversy

Washington, Dec. IA serious con-
troversy has arisen between the Broth
erhood of Locomotive Engineers and
the Pennsylvania railroad affecting par
ticularly the lines west of Pittsburg.
The details were presented today to
Chairman Knapp of the interstate COM
merce commission and Professor Chas.
F. Neill, commissioner of labor, who
constitute the general board of medi-
alton under the Erdman act. The en-
gfneers desire official recognition to
their general board of adjustment in
the settlement of any grievances that
may arise. The men complain that
when they take up grievances with the
division superintendent they get no
satisfaction. So serious has the diff
Guilty become that a strike vote now is
being taken by the engineers of the
lines west of Pittsburg. If the vote
should be in favor of a strike the situ-
alton will become acute. With a view
to averting the impending trouble the
members of the general board of ad-
juStment came to Washington to lay
their case before the board of media
ton. The conference lasted about two
hours. Following this General Manager
G. L. Peck of the Pennsylvania lines
west of Pittsburg presented to the
board the railway side of the contro-
versy.
Until some definite conclusion is
reached no announcement will be made
by either side.
