Motions of attorneys representing the

News, OF the Courts
DEMANDS STOCK IN
MEXICAN RAILROAD
FILES SUIT AGAINST OFFICERS
OF CORPORATION
Henry Kennedy Alleges That He Was
instrumental In blIItating
Finances of Pan-Amerl-
can Limo

Henry Kennedy, who claims he was
instrumental in rehabilitating the
finances of the Pan American railway
of Mexico after the line was forfeited
to the Mexican government, filed suit
in the superior court yesterday against
]. NJ. Neeland and j. w. Evans, officers
of the company, asking that they be
compelled to carry out the terms of an
alleged agreement whereby he was to
receive one-tenth of the stock and a
like proportion Of the profits of the
company for his services.
The railway. first known as the Pa
cific and Chiapas, was forfeited to the
Mexican government in 1900, at which
time Kennedy says Neeland sought his
assistance to secure q concession to
continue its construction from the Ma
tional Railroad of Tehauntepec to the
Guatemalan frontier. He says he in
duced Evans and several others to in
vest in the undertaking, and 800 miles
was completed, the government paying
large amount OF money as subsidy.
The Pan-American Railroad COM
pany, the Successor of the Pacific and
Chiapas, was organized at Chicago
June 1, 1901, with a capitalization of
$780, 600, no portion of which Kennedy
says he has received. He demands an
accounting of receipts and expenditures
and that the company's officers carry
out the terms of the agreement.

The Body's Kitchen

Dirty mouths are not only offensive
and unslghtly, but, according to the
London Lancet, the worlds foremost
medical journal, constant and Sc
rious menace to the health of their
owners. Indeed, that journal goes so
far as to say, "on the condition of the
mouth much of the health of the nation
depends" Being the gateway to lungs
and stomach, through which all the
food and drink and a portion of the
air we consume must pass, Its san
itary condition is as important as that
OF the household kitchen.
A very little care in the form of two
or three inexpensive daily scrubbings
with a good and reliable dentifrice, is
all that is ordinarily necessary to keep
this important entrance clean and
sweet. Such a routine should be COM
menced early in the child's life, and
insisted upon until 1t has become a
habit The average reader may be in
clined to consider this a quite unneces-
sary warning, and decent care Of the
mouth certainly is much commoner
than 1t used to be.
Among a considerable portion of the
community, however, and particularly
in the case of children, there is still
need of much oral missionary work. A
little observation of ones neighbors s
mouths in street cars and other cos
mopolitan public conveyances will
amply justify this conclusion.
How uninviting would be luncheon
served on the solled breakfast china,
yet how much less cleanly is the prac-
tice Of not brushing the teeth after
eating. DIR. Lyons Perfect Tooth Pow
der, made by an American Dentist
since 1866, has met this need for whole
some cleanliness and health preserva-
ton and is used by people of refine
ment in every part of the world where
tho use Of the Tooth Brush is known.

have in store for them. The initials
formed by twirling apple parings about
the head, the burning of waXen tapers
each christened with the name of some
favored sutton, and the peering into a
looking glass for the shadows that are
supposed to Turk there on this mystic
eve. are all customs upon which time
has set the seal Of approval.
And after all this peering into the
future, there come the many games in
keeping with the harvest season. The
biting of swaying apples suspended
from a string, the roasting of chestnuts
in the glowing Goals, and the "ducking
for apples in tub of ice cold water are
old-time favorites, without which no
Halloween celebration could be con-

leaves in their fall colorings, and even
the terrible grinning jack-o'-lanterns
make an effective change from the
ideas usually chosen for decorating.

SECTION THREE.

~ NE festival of the year that be-
longs alike to young and old is
the celebration on the eve of All
Saints day, the ancient Halloween. 1t
is time when pranks of all sorts are in
order, and jokes that would not be toll
Grated at any other time are not only
condoned, but are really enjoyed by all
participating in the fun The wanton
destruction Of property is. Of course. as
much to be decried in this celebration
as in any other, and it is because Of the
vandalism that many look upon the fes-
tival with disfavOr. But without the
playing of any practical jokes. there are
plenty OF innocent amusements that can
be INDUCED in, that are not a part of
the usual forms of entertainments, and
the occasion offers many opportunities
to those who are contemplating enter
tainments
The witching hour seems truly to be
with us on this night when ghosts and
COLLINS hold sway over the land, and one
expects TO see some dreadful phantom
dart upon one at every turn. And one
IS then privileged TO call upon all of
these spirits of the darkness for aid in
the reading of ones destiny. Then are
all maidens allowed to make earnest
search into the mysterious realms of the
future, and to resort to all kinds of
