.Leavenworth, Kan, Sept. ia
seismic disturbance of unknown nature
is causing a gradual upheaval of the
stratum of limestone underlying the
coal at the Kansas penitentiary mine.
A layer of limestone unbroken and as
level as a floor recently bulged and
cracked, leaving two lodges tilted at an
angle just like the formation of min

an incline to the bottom of the shaft
that was difficult for the largest mules
to climb with more than six cars of
coal. Superintendent Archie Fulton is
having the grade cut down during the
period of enforced idleness while the
main shaft is being timbered.
The cause of the shifting is problem
atical, Superintendent Fulton is inclin-
ed to think that it was due to the cool

Undercharges.

WOULD SAVE LABOR

The traffic committee of the Illinois
Manufacturers association has adj
dressed a letter to the traffic officials
of the railroads asking for d change in
the methods Employed. in. chacking
shipments, which is expected to save
a great deal of expense and annoy
ance both to the carriers and to the
shippers.
1t is claimed that many or the roads
make a practice Of checking waybills
only for undercharges and THAI the
same care is not exercised to see that
the shippers are not charged too
much.
An immense number of claims,
many of them for small amounts, are
daily presented to the railroads for
freight overcharges above the lawful
rate, due to the errors of rate clerks
ana others in the railroad employ or
to the mistakes of shippers IN railing
to make proper description of their
shipments in accordance with the tar
ifs and classification. These over
charges are often a source of great
annoyance, not only to the shippers,
but to the railroads as well, besides
entailing a large expense to the roads
for clerical labor, etc, in the after

investigation and settlement of claims.
AS stated in the committees letter,
it is the practice of some of the roads
to revise the waybilling and make
prompt refund of any overcnarges
without waiting for claims to be pre-
scented. Others, however, they say,
check the waybills to undercharges
only, or at least do not provide for re-
fund of such charges as soon as found,
but wait for claims to be presented,
and in the event that no claim is pre-
scented by the shipper retain the money
wrongfuny collected.
The committee wants the railroads
to adopt some provision under which
expense bills will be corrected before
any payment has been maze. so that
the needles sannoyance of over or I'M
der charges may be avoided.
The committee recognizes the fact
that the large number of overchargeS
is no doubt due in a great measure to
the fear on the part or the Dill clerks
that they will not charge a sufficient
amount, and that therefore they viii
use the higher of the two or more
rates when there is any doubt as to
which rate applies. However, as the
letter points out the interstate COM
merce commission does not approve
the practice of carriers of paying a
claim for overcharge without investI-
CATION, even if the claimant gives a
bond, guaranteeing to return the
ter. investigation to have been paid IN
error.
The committee states that cit is just
as much an offense against the law to
overcharge a shipment as 1t is to I'M
dercharge, and. it is the duty Of the
carrier to collect the legal rate, no
more and no less" In order TO insure
that only the legal rate is charged IN
the first place, the committee makes
the following suggestion:
"That the large force of revising
clerks employed in the general offices
and at large stations of most roads
should be instructed to make as care
full a check for overcharges a for I'M
dercharges. Effective provision should
then be made to have expense bills
corrected to the proper basis before
shipment. if possible, or if the freight
bill has been paid, to make prompt re-
fund of any overchar@e. If this plan
were adopted by all the railroads this
great source of annoyance and injus-
tice to shippers and large expense to
the railroads would be, II not entirely
eliminated, at least reduced to mini

HARVARD LOSES SEVERAL.

Burr will very likely continue at tackle
unless there is a scarcity of good
guards, when he will be shifted to his
old place.
OF the second eleven Fish, Kennard,
Robinson, Hadden Philliphar and
Comstock will come out for the vacant
tackle positions. The fight for tackle
this year promises to be unusually Bit
ter, and the winning men won't be
known for weeks after the ball begins
to be passed around.
Guards are scarce. Burr Will most
likely stay at tackle, leaving the fight
to come among Hoar and Frockheimer
of last years second team, and Dun
lap and Mcguire of the freshmen
Every year there are number of
lightweight men trying for guard, but
have to be dropped on that account.

Browne and Houston look the best at
this stage of the year. Pierce and
Forster of last years squad will also
be out for work this month. There are
also Cooper of the second team and

of the freshmen. R. G. Brown, captain
of the freshmen last year until his i'll
ness, will try for a place on the varsity
eleven.
Cutting will have the call for the va
cant place at quarter. Toward the end
of last season he was playing a good
game and may be the varsity choice
this season. Cate and Galatti will also
be tried and G. G. Browne may be

in Small Quantities.

in Small Quantities.
Since its discovery one year ago the
new drug, poslam. has successfully
cured thousands of chronic cases of
eczema and other distressing skin af-
nictions, Heretofore poslam has been
dispensed solely for the benefit of &c
zema patients IN large jars sufficient
for months treatment. This was
found to be an inconvenience to many
thousands who use it for minor skin
troubles, such as pimples. blackheads,
herpes, acne, scaly scalp, complexion
blemishes, itching feet, piles, ETC.,
which require but small quantity to
cure To overcome this, and in re-
Spouse to urgent appeals, the dispen-
sers of poslam have been obliged to
adopt, in addition to the regular two
dollar package, a special fifty-cent
size, which in future may be found on
sale at Fred A. Shows and other
leading drug stores in Topeka. or may
be ordered direct from tho Emergency
Laboratories, No. 80 West 25th Street,
New York City. In all eczema cases
poslam stops itching with first appli-
cation, and proceeds to heal imme-
diately; chronic cases being cured in
two weeks. In less serious skin trou-
bles, results are seen after an over
night application.
Samples for experimental purposes
may still be had, free of charge, by
writing to the laboratories for them.
