Misery Disappears and Stomach Com
fort Comes in Five Minutes.

Take good care of the stomach is
good advice that all sensible people
should heed. If your blood is bad
and pimples and sores break out on
your body, in 80 per cent of the cases
the stomach is to blame.
If you are nervous, irritable, feel
dull, are depressed mentally, and feel
disinclined to exert yourself, make
up your mind the stomach is at fault
and treat it as promptly and intelli-
gently as possible.
Mi-o-na, the universal stomach
remedy, will cure any abnormal con-
dition of the stomach promptly and
surely.
The action of Mi-o-na on the deli
cate membrane of the stomach is so
prompt that the most painful distress
vanishes in a few minutes.
But Mi-o-na (sman tablets easily
swallowed) is more than a relief CIV
er. 1t is a prescription used by a
most learned and sensible physician,
and it's ingredients are so cleverly
compounded that while it gives in
slant relief it also effects a perman-
ent cure.

Successor Of Hartman.

A CHANGE OF POLICY

Following the death of E. H. Harri-
man, the future of the Union Pacific
railway organization is topic of
much speculation in railway circles.
There is a general belief that the
present organization as far as the OPP
Grating department is concerned will
be changed, and that the road will go
back to the old policy of having an
operating head for each road in the
Hartman system.
In case this change is brought
about, A. L. Mohler at present vice
president of the Union Pacific and in
direct charge of the operation will
become the president of the road.
As to this possible change there is
but little doubt in the minds of the
Union Pacific officials in Kansas, who
profess to hold any opinions on the
subject. The New York Commercial,
which knows all the talk on Wall
street, expresses the opinion that Mr..
Mohler will be made the successor of
the late Mr.. Hartman, as president
of the Union Pacific.
Mr.. Mothers great executive ability,
together with his most intimate work.
ing knowledge of the road, and his
high standing with Mr.. Hartman and
the forces that now be, are pointed
to as qualifications that make him the
most available man for the place. Mr..
N1O1lAoT was appointed TO MS present
position few years ago, when Hor-
ace G. Burt, then president of the In
ion Pacific resigned and Mr.. Hartman
decided to become president of all
his roads. Mr.. Mohler was then pres
ident of the Oregon Railway and Nav
igation Line, a Hartman property,
and Mr.. Hartman took this position
himself, but made Mr.. Mohler vice
president of the Union Pacific, where
he has since exercised the functions
of the general manager, and been the
active head of the Union Pacific's op-
Grating department
Mr.. Mohler as the active head of
the Union Pacific now has under his
supervision, the construction of 600
miles of railroad which that line is
now building in this territory. This
includes the construction of the To-
peka & Northwestern, now being
completed between Onaga and Frank
fort, the extension of the O'Fallon
branch in Nebraska to Northport. and

Reno County in Debt to Artifi-
cial Limb House.
Commissioners Refuse to Pay
Bill and Ask fer Reduction.
HAVE NO EMIT.
Are Willing to Pay $40 for
Smiths Peg, But No More.
Board Intim atOs That County's
Leg Is Being Pulled.

Hutchinson, Kan. Oct. 7.-while a
wooden leg is not supposed to have a
great deal of elasticity, the demand of
"a certain Kansas City artificial limb
company on the Reno county commits
sioners for the sum of SIS. so indicates
that an attempt can be made to pull
a wooden leg, anyway.
Some weeks ago Frank Smith, now
at the county poor farm, found it nee
essary to have an artificial leg fixed.
He asked the county to meet the ex-
pense of the repairs. After some de-
liberation Poor Commissioner r. o.
Slayton had the leg sent to an arti-
fetal company of Kansas City When
the limb came back, however, Smith
requested that the county send it back
a second time. the end this was
not necessary for Smith finally fixed
the leg himself.
When the county commissi oners met
the first thing that their eyes fell upon
was the bill for Smiths leg. After some
discussion it was agreed that $39. so was
too much money for the county to pay
for leg which had given no more sat
isfaction than Smiths. Accordingly,
they decided to reduce the bill little
less than one-haf. The Kansas City
firm will receive the sum of $50, no
more, no less.

REVISING TONNAGE RATINGS.
Santa Fe Is Now Making Tests Over
the Entire System.

San Bernardino, Cal, Oct. Ito re-
wise the tonnage rating OF the engines
on the entire Santa F'e system a series
of tests have been started on this d.
vision and will extend the entire
length of the continent as far as chi
cago.
1t is the intention to make the trip
from Los Angeles straight through to
Chicago, with as little change as pos
sibIe in the makeup of the train, MAX
ing constant tests, both day and night,
for the purpose OF estaphshlng the
new rating of the locomotives Owing
to the fact that trains of different ton
mage are handled on various portions
of the systems, due to grades and otn-
er conditions, it will be lmposslpie 10
retain the same train as it left here,
but the dynamometer car, which IS
used in connection with the tests, Will
go straight through to chicago. On
arrival there it will retrace the course
the entire length of the division, in or
der to arrive at the tonnage rate In
both directions.
ACCOMMODATING the car are Joseph
Lyddon, coast line engineer Oh tests;
L. Simpson, in charge of the operation
of the car, and a number OF others
made up of special apprentices.
Owing to the fact of the continuous
trip it is necessary to work two shifts.
The tests to secure the necessary
data for the new rate sheets are not
being made for the sole purpose or
either increasing or reducing the TON
mage of engines over different grades
and sections of roadbed but in order to
ascertain whether the locomotives as
placed now are giving the best results
possible to attain. If certain classes
of engines are not doing as well on
one division. due to grades. water and
other conditions, as is possible on an
other, they will be assigned according
" and it is for the purpose of ascer-
tanning the best location for the var1-
Gus types of locomotives that the tests
are to be made.
1t is not the intention to select en-
gines for the hauling of the train con-
tanning the dynamometer car but take
them as they come and in this way
the tests with the 1ocomo-
tives in their average condition.
During the course of the trip to Chi
cago, the various trainmasters and
road foremen of engines will accom-
pany the party conducting the tests
over their respective divisions.

BOY SHOT THROUGH THE LUNG.
Nine Year Old Willet Marcum Ser
iousIY Wounds Himself.

Winfield, Kan, Oct 7.-Willet
Marcum. nine years old, son of Mr..
and Mrs NJ. H. Marcum, of Pleasant
Valley, has been dangerously
wounded with bullet. The bullet
struck him in the left breast, just be-
low the shoulder, passed through the
upper part of the left lung. and
through the shoulder blade. An inch
lower would have severed the aorta.
The pistol was loaded and lying in
a table drawer, where the boy, in
playing, found it. BY careless hand
ling he pulled the trigger while the
muzzle was pointed toward him. The
powder flame scorched his flesh and
probably cauterized the wound inside.
This may be some assistance in keep
ing out infection. The bullet, after
passing through the boy struck the
lower rail of a window sash and went
half way through it.
