Work will be vigorously rushed so as
to insure the completion of the line
before December 81.
The present intention of the COM

more friendly attitude upon the part
of Garden City, may change this route.
All of the material contracts above
referred to, were awarded more than
/ 80 days ago, and actual work in the
field has been withheld because of ne
gotiations with the electric railway
people. whereby Mr.. McCue and asso-
ciates had hoped to secure the roadbed
of that company. Earring to do this.
work has been started upon one of the
established lines of the steam road,
which runs on the section line immedi-
ately north of the sugar factory.

The Farmers Wife

Es very careful about her churn. She
scalds it thoroughly after using, and gives
It a sun bath to sweeten it. She knows
that If her churn is sour it will faint 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 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.
DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
makes the sour and foul stomach sweet.
It does for the stomach what the washing
and sun bath do for the churn-absolutely
removes every tainting or corrupting ele-
ment. In this way it cures blotches,
pimples, eruptionS, scrofulous sweilings,
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
appetite, these symptoms, or any consider
able number of them, indicate that you are
suffering from biliousness, torpid or lazy
liver with the usual accompanying indf-
gestion, or dyspepsia and their attendant
arrangements.

THIS MAN LONGS TO BE OUT UP.
Strange Mania of a Vagrant in Leav-
enWorth Hospital.

Leavenworth, Kan, June 19.-One
night this week a man walked into the
police station and told Lieutenant
Murphy that the wound of an opera
ton in his abdomen had opened and
that another operation would be nee
essary to save his life. He was pen
niless, he said, and could not pay for
medical aid. Lieutenant Murphy had
him taken to st. Johns hospital. The
mans name is James Conway.
Conway is possessed with a mania
for operations. On his abdomen he
bears the scars of nine operations
and one eye has been removed. One
scar in the center of his abdomen is
sixteen inches long and he told DIR. A
L. Suwalsky, the county physician.
that this particular scar is the mark
of an operation in which a section of
his intestines, twelve inches long. was
removed Conway also told DIR. Su-
walsl<y that DIR. Murphy of Chicago,
one of the foremost surgeons in
America, had operated on him and
that he was last operated on by DIR.
Swoboda at Omaha, Neb.
The man Stimulates the symptoms
of appendicitis and pleads with Dr.
Suwalsky to operate on him. There
are four scars over the lower part of

Adjourned without Announcing
New President of X. s. A. C.
RumOr States Place Has Been
Offered to Dean Waters.
TELEGRAMS ARE SENT
Miss Lorena Clemens Resigna
ton as Secretary Accepted.
Place to Be Filled by Her Assist
ant, Miss NJ. ButerfieId.

Manhattan, Kan, June 19.-The
board of regents of the Kansas State
Agricultural college has adjourned to
meet again June 2S at Fort Hays.
A committee consisting of Regent
Blackburn and President Nichols
was chosen to act further on some of
the general actions of the board.
Nothing definite is known of the steps
taken by the board in regard to the
selection of a new executive for the
school or of the other more impor-
tant matters in connection with the
college.
The committee has been electing
some of the assistants, of which there
will be about twenty new ones. c.. E.
Bray, a graduate of Minnesota uni
Versity has been elected to fill the po-
sition of assistant in mechanical en-
gineering. The department in the
farmers institute work will have
eight new assistants. 1t has an ap-
preparation of $4,000 for this year.
The state is to be divided into three
sections, an eastern, middle and a
western, and man elected for each.
His duties will be general supervision
of institute work in his territory.
Aside from these, departments of in
stitute work along lines of road max
ing, horticulture, domestic science,
physical science ana carrying Will be
created and an assistant secured for
each one.
The work along these lines is grow
ing more extensive each year, it's
purpose being to educate the people
of Kansas who can not attend her in
situations. For next year the appro-
priation for that same work will be
$27,500, showing that there is a real
demand for that sort of exposition of
advanced methods.
Miss Lorena Clemens who has been
secretary of K. S. A. c. for the last
twelve years handed in her resigna-
ton to the board yesterday and the
place will be filed by Miss Margaret
Buterfield who has assisted Miss
Clemens for a number of years.
Because Regent Blackburn sent
several kilograms, many suppose that
definite action was taken in regard to
the presidency. Dean Waters of the
department of agriculture at Missouri
university is guessed at as the most
likely man for the place, and that is
founded on the fact that Regent
Blackburn admitted that one teIe-
gram was for Waters. The box con-
tanning the name of the man for the
position is still air tight. Other can
didates are in the field but their
names can not be learned.

Going to the Inauguration ?

In reply to an inquiry, a. to
how a private car party could
make the trip to the Inaugural
ton, with the greatest comfort
and still at a reasonable expense,
a representative of the Southern
Railway stated:
Parties of twenty-five or more
from Asheyille travelling on one
ticket will be given a round trip
rate of $40. .O5 per capita. and for
nine dollars each additional they
may have the exclusive use of a
Pullman car to and from Wash
ington, and use the Pullman as
a hotel while in Washington
without any additional cost.
The Southern has arranged to
park chartered cars in a conven-
lent locality, and these cars can
be rented at cost Of $500 per
day or fraction ofa day, and the
round trip can be easily made in
five days, which would give you
ample time for a comfortable
journey and several days in the
National Capitol.
For individuals = very. low
rate of SIS. 45 will be made.
Tickets will be sold on Febru-
ary 18th, March list, End, 3rd,
with final limit leaving Washing
ton night Of March 9Th, 1909.
