hausted Company's Appropriation.

the first time in months the Santa
Fe has ordered the closing of the
locomotive shops in this city in or
der to avoid running over the appro-
priation made with which to operate
that portion of the mechanical de-
partment.
During the past financial year the
appropriation was so limited that it
was necessary to run the entire
mechanical department on short
time for the greater part of the IL
months, but during a number of
months past the men have been en-
ployed the entire month on a basis
of nine hours a day and five on
Saturdays.

appropriation has been cut down and
will necessitate the closing of the
shops for a portion of the time each
month is not definitely known, but
H. S. Wall, superintendent of shops,
stated that next month the locomo-
tive department would be run as
usual and the recent rumors that
the working hours would be cut to
eight hours are denied

the team is fully as strong as last

score in the St. Marys contest of

the St. Marys team is no easy bunch
to defeat and to pile up as big a
score as that of Saturday, is enough
to restore all faith in the blue and

Oberlin. Kan. Oct. Al. H Hayward,
a farmer near Oberlfn. lost four head
of cattle within the last few days from
blackleg. All of them were fine, fat
yearlings. 1t has been a long time
since this disease was among the cattle
in this art of the state and every pre-
caution is being taken to keep it from
Spreading and becoming general in the
county.
Mr.. Hayward has sent to the govern
ment for a quantity of vaccine and will
vaccinate all his cattle. Other cattle

LIFE OF A PIMPLE.
Compilations are Cleared and Pimples
Disappear Overnight Without Trouble.

The dispensers of poslam, a new
skin discovery, ask that notice be
given :hat no one is urged to purchase
it without first obtaining an expert
mental package. Everyone who has
tried it kntw WIS that the fifty-cent box,
on sale at Coughlin's Pharmacy and
all drug stores, is sufficient to cure the
worst cases of eczema, where the sur
face affected is not too large The
itching ceases on first application. 1t
will also cure acne, letter, blotches,
scaly scalp, hives, BARRIERS and every
other form of itch, including itching
feet. Being flesh-colored and contain
ing no grease, the presence of poslam
on exposed surfaces, such as the face
and hands, is not perceptible. Water
and soap cannot be used in connection
with it, as these irritate and prolong
skin troubles, sometimes even causing
them.
AS to the experimental package Of
poslam, it can be had free of charge
by mail of the Emergency LabOra-
tories, 80 West Twenty fifth Street,
New York. 1t alone is sufficient to
clear the complexion overnight, ard to
rid the face Of pimples in TWEEN y-four
hours.
