in this, and recently wrote a letter to
General Manager Hurley concerning
the matter. Mr.. Hurley replies:
II think General superintendent
Parker will visit you soon, and will go
over the matter with you. L am quite
sure he will want to beautify the
grounds"
The idea has been to grade the
grounds, SOW to grass, set out trees,
and otherwise made the site a beauty
spot as the road is doing in so many
places.
Agent King also announced this
morning to the Telegram a number of
other changes to be made in the Santa
Fe yards.
The freight house is to be sci. back
to the north side of the right of way,
against the court house park, and
fixed, up and remodeled considerably.
Brick walks are to be put in in
front of the freight house and across
Main street, and a new platform put
in.
The walk on the east side of Main
street is to be extended to the tracks.
The long desired crossing on Sew
enth street to the passenger station is
to be put in.
These details attended to, and the
station grounds parked and beautified,
will add greatly to the attractiveness
of the Santa Fe yards and the lower
end of Main street.

LUMBER TRADE HEAVY.
Due TO Extensive Building Operations
in Cities.

Washington, April 30.-Internal
commerce movements during March
last indicate a heavy lumber move
ment to consuming centers. accord
ing to reports received by the bureau
of statistics.
This is believed to be due to in
creased building activity in the large
cities. On the other hand the soft
coal, coke and pig iron trades for
the month showed slackened ten
denotes. March shipments of hard
coal were unusually large in view of
the impending labor difficulties
Live stock receipts at seven pri-
mary interior markets during March
showed considerable increases over
March of the previous year, but live
stock receipts at four principal At
lantic seaports were considerably be-
low like receipts the previous March.
Grain and flour receipts at four
principal Atlantic ports indicate a
heavier movement during March,

month last year. The March ship
ments of anthracite coal from eastern
producing territory were the heaviest
on record.

A doctors first question when con-
suited by patient is, ARE your

the system with noxious gases and
waste matter which naturally accumu-
lates and which must be removed
through the bowels before health can
be restored
Salts. ordinary pills and cathartics
may be truly likened to dynamite
Through their harsh, irritating action
they force a passage through the
bowels, causing pain and damage to
the delicate intestinal structure which
weakens the whole system, and at best
only produces temporary relief. The
repeated use of such treatments cause
chronic irritation of the stomach and
bowels, hardens their tissues, deadens
their nerves, Stiffens their muscles and
generally brings about an Injurious
habit which sometimes has fatal re-
suits

certain of its great curative value that
we promise to return the purchaser s
money in every case when it fails to
