THEY ARE NOT HOSTILE.
Hartman and Hill Are on Best o
Terms.

ST. Paul, April 14.-Louis w. Hill,
president of the Great Northern rail-
way. has returned from a visit to the
Pacific coast. He said that the last re-
naming difficulty of operation between
the Hartman and Hill interests on the
coast had been settled by an agreement
between himself and E. H. Hartman
by which the Hill road would secure a
part ownership in the terminal at Port
land and go in there as a bed-fellow
with the Hartman interests.
Incidentally he declared that the
Harriman-Hill fued so-called was re-
markable only for it's nonexistence.
There never was any Harriman-Hill
fued.' he said. THAT was all newspa-
per dream. Certainly there has been
and will continue to be a sharp COM
petition. That's true of every business.
There has been business contentious
between the Hartman and Hill inter-
ests. That's natural enough, isn't 1t,
considering the immense amount of
capital invested and the territory COW
cred and the business handled.
MY meeting with Mr.. Hartman on
the coast he continued, was misrep-
resented by the San Francisco papers
so fiagrant1y that I felt called upon to
deny the stories they printed through
the Associated Press. They had us

ritory which in the first place would be

to sustain life during serious attacks
in which the stomach is so deranged it

Smoking Is Almost as Harmful
to Pupils as Drinking.
Once the AbOrigine Forms the
Habit He Seldom Quits.

Lawrence, Kan, April 14.-Superin-
tendent H. B. PEARS has sent word to
all the tobacco dealers of the town that
they must not sell cigarettes to the In
dams in any form or fashion. He says
the state law must be rigidly enforced
as far as the Indians at Haskell are
concerned, no matter what is done
about it in regards to the boys of the
town.
Mr. PEARS says that he intends to
give all the merchants fair warning
and then if he finds any violations, it
Will be just as serious an offense as
selling liquor to Indians and Lawrence
people have seen several examples of
that in the many years Mr.. PEARS has
been superintendent.
THE sale of cigarettes to the Indians
has got to stop absolutely said Mr..
PEARS in discussing the ruling he had
made and which he says is going to be
most vigorously enforced. Next to
whisky, the cigarette is the Indian S
curse and it always leads on to drink
in the case of the Indian.
when once they get, started to
smoking cigarettes they are gone, for
they keep on smoking harder and
oftener every day until 1t has under
mined their health. 1 sometimes think
the cigarette is worse curse to the
young Indian, than even liquor.
81 don't want to be hard in the mat
ter but now that I have given fair
warning to all the dealers, they have
no one to blame but themselves if they
sell cigarettes or papers to my pupils
at Haskell. 1 intend to watch the mat
ter closely and if I find any violations
of the law, 1 will prosecute them Wig

Another feature of the new train
which has been extensively advertised
is the electric. lighting system. Dy-

be installed in all the baggage cars
and will be connected with each car
This is considered a better method of
supplying the electric fluid than the old
method of attaching the motors to the
axles Of the train. A special assistant
will help the baggage man in his work
and will also look after the dynamo.
The train is scheduled to leave To-
peka westbound between twelve and
