Business Is Again Booming Says
Treasurer Copeland.

Los Angeles. Cal. Aug. BE. L
Copeland. secretary and treasurer OF
the Atchison. Topeka & Santa Fe sys-
tem-one of the largest railway sys-
TENS in the world. is here.
Mr.. Copeland arrived at the Alex
andria hotel yesterday afternoon with
his family, after q short visit to Coro-
nado. This Is his first visit to Cali
fornia, and he is greatly interested in
the business OF the Santa Fe lines on
the Pacific coast. He has just finished
compiling his figures of purchases that
were made In the boom times when ev-
cry railroad in America was trying to
keep up with the great volume OF bust
ness that v'as offered.
According to the figures of Mr.. Cope
land, the Santa Fe system has ex-
pended $3.50, 900 900 in equipment during
the past three years.
And even with this enormous outlay
and in the face of a sudden termina-
ton of the boom business of all of the
railroads when the stringency came on
last fall-the Santa Fee may soon need
more equipment.
THE figures seem stupendous when
one comes to consider them" said Mr..
Copeland last night. And in fact 1t
looked as If the company was ordering
entirely too much equipment, especial
~ after the great slump. Now we are
perfectly willing to confess that we did
order too much equipment at the time,
but our orders seemed justified because
we could not move the freight that was
offered us.
Then came the slump and we
thought we would have more cars and
locomotives than we could possibly use
for decade. And to make matters
look worse at that time. business was
curtailed over 200 per cent while our
orders which had been given for
equipment months in advance were
just beginning to be filled.
"All of a sudden we found that we
had motive power enough to almost
move the entire freight of the country,
and that we had freight cars and pas
senger coaches sufficient to transport
nearly all of the people in America
who were travelling across the contin-
ent at that time. and their household
effects at the same moment.
But a great change has taken place
in the past few months, and now we
find we were not so badly overstocked
with equipment as We thought we
should be.
I'm fact we are now using practical
~ all of our new equipment, and
where empty freight cars stood on the
sidings all the wey between Los An
geles and Chicago six months ago, you
will find none today. And on top of
this new prosperity we actually find
that it may soon be necessary to order
new locomotives, new freight cars and
new passenger coaches to care for the
increased business that is rapidly flow
ing this way"
Mr.. Copeland is an enthusiast con-
corning California. He says the Pa
cific coast and the middle west are the
most prosperous sections in the coun-
try today.

PLAN PROVED DISASTROUS.
New Jersey Boy Had New Scheme
for CATCHING Fish.

New York, Aug. 21.-William Tense,
13 years old. of Passaic. N. j., is in
danger of losing his sight as a result
of an experiment in fishing. The lad
conceived the idea of blowing fish out
of the water with lime and catching
them in a net. His plan was to half
fill bottle with lime, put little water
inside put in a cork and drop the bot
tie where the fish were likely to be.
The boy fixed his bottle near his
home. He did not consider that the
lime and water would cause so quick
an explosion. After pouring little
water in the lime the boy corked the
bottle, but when he removed his hand
the cork shot back, striking him in the
face and the lime gushed out and
burned his face and eyes so badly that
he may never see again.

Sour Stomach
Only a Symptom
Sour Stomach, Water Brash, and
Other Stomach Troubles.

Sour stomach lis simply an indica-
ton of a condition. If not attended
to promptly and efficiently 1t will run
into dyspepsia, or chronic indigestion.
If affects the bowels, causes sick head
ache, liver trouble, kidney trouble and
general illness.
The taking OF digestive tonics and
medicines will perhaps sweeten the
stomach and aid it in digestion for a
short time but the effect will not
last unless you get at the root of the
trouble, which is the proper supply of
digestive juices to the stomach and
digestive tract. The stomach must be
aided, but at the same time strength
ened SO that II can do its part Of the
work without the aid of medicine.
There is no remedy known today
that we believe does this work so
effectively as does DIR. CaldwelPs
Syrup Pepsin.
1t aids digestion. and at the same
time strengthens the stomach and
promotes the secretion OF sufficient
juices so that the stomach does its
work normally without the aid of
medicine. 1t gives easy. natural
regularity to the bowels without pain
or grips, and it SO relieves and
strengthens them that you do not con-
tract the habit as with pills and min
eral waters or salts.
All druggists sell 1t at soc and 800
bottle. Pepsin Syrup Co., 333 Cald-
well Bldg, Monticeilo, ILL.,, Is glad to
send q free sample to any one who
VIII use It and give II q fair trial.

new LAW IS NEEDED.
To Prevent Incompetent Persons From
Driving Automobiles.

Chicago, Aug. 21.-Ffrst Assistant
Corporation Counsel Emil c. Wetten
has announced that. alarmed by the in
creasing number of automobile acct
dents, the next legislature will be ask
ed to enact a law compelling classifi-
cation of the various kinds Of ma
chimes. the licensing of all drivers. and
possibly barring from the city streets
those cars whose high power makes
possible speed far in excess of the
city's ordinances.
"a casual examination of the reports
of motor car accidents seems to show
that many of them occur when ma
chimes are driven by young persons or
by women" he explained. AT pres
ent there is no way of preventing this
and no way of making sure that any
one has the capability and experience
necessary to handle large machine.
"a law will be asked. which will al

at imperilling the lives of pedestrians.
Every season makes such law more
necessary because every season brings

plicated mechanism"

MATCH AND MOUSE.
They Are Held to Be Much Abused

Chicago. Aug. 21.-"The Match and

I'VE are burning up property at the
rate of 100000 worth a day." said the
chief. why do so many fires start
Is 1t carelessness, culpable negligence
or avarice? The nature of the business
and the insurance policy usually tell
the story, not perhaps so that 1t can be
given to the public, but in such a way
that the men who honestly investigate
can tell the why and wherefore. Over
insurance is one of the crimes Of the
century. The agent is honest, but he
must make a living. He does not
know what he insures and does not
care so long as the premiums are paid.
THE lure of money and our presen;
day civilization has intensified the
commercial struggle to such an extent
that some men will not stop at any
thing to help themselves along. This
is not a charitable view, but our ex-
perience inspecting fires, for which
mice and matches were held RESPONSE
BILE has hardened us. We know the
motive of the mouse, but what was the
motive that put the match where the
mouse could get it? You will find it In

T. B. SWEET IN ABILENE.
Tells of Early Days When That City
Was Frontier Town.

T. B. Sweet, a Topeka capitalist is
in the city tctlay. says the Abilene
Chronicle. He knows much of Abb
lene's early history and in a converse
ton with the Chronicle he grew re-
miniscent
Mr.. Sweet has goodly portion of
this worlds goods and yet he says he
has always lost money selling Kansas
land. Not that he has sold the land
for less than he paid for it, but he
has always sold it too soon. At one
time he owned a good sized tract of
bottom land near Abilene. He had
put twenty-five cents an acre into the
land and sold 1t for $500 an acre. "A
good profit to be sure" said Mr.. Sweet,
"but suppose / had kept it?"
On one of his visits to Abilene in
the early days he stopped at the best
hotel in the city and was given a very
ample breakfast. The waitress did
pearance or at least did not guess that
his work might be such that his ap-
petite was anything under the average
of those days. Sweet ordered eggs and
the waitress brought him SIX; and they
were hard-boiled at that. THAT was
the regular cowboy breakfast" OBJ
served Mr.. Sweet.
On one of his trips to Abilene Mr.
Sweet had a "tenderfoot' with him.
When they took the train out of Abb
1ene Wild Bill was in the next car and
the tenderfoot wanted to see this noted
parsonage and went into the car which
Bill was occupying. But trouble start
ed and he didn't stay long. Bill and
some of the cowboys were just having
friendly time shooting around the
car with guns which, to the stranger,
looked as big as cannons.
Mr.. Sweet is here looking after
business interests, and visiting old
friends.
