HAS LECTURE DATES.
Prof. Dyche Will Fill Them Before
Making Next Arctic Journey.

On account of his having been on
expeditions in the arctic regions with
both Cook and Peary, Prof Lewis Lind
say Dyche, of the University of Kan
sas, is much in demand as lecturer
on the Cook-Peary controversy. He has
lust entered into a contract to deliver
q dozen lectures, Buffalo and Denver
being included in the list of cities In
which he will speak.
Prof. Dyche has announced his in
tention of applying for a two years
leave of absence from the university
m order that he may complete the col
lection of polar animals which he has
made and which are on display at the
state university. The collection as it
stands is one of the finest in exist
ence. but it is the ambition of the
naturalist to make it the most COM
plete in the world.
ct have had this trip in mind for
years and years. said Mr.. Dyche, but
/ have not been able to get all my old
specimens properly housed SO l have
been putin it off from time to time.
If my plans go through. I want to go
to the sea coast after my year in the
Alaskan wilds and ca.cn a whaler and
go north into the real arctic country.
I want to hunt seals. walrus. musk
oxen and other game of the arctic re-
gion.
"A veritable wealth of game can be
found in the forests of southern Alas
ka I would spend most of my first
wear here hunting the big game.
..Then 1 want to push on into north
ern Alaska and get the arctic speci-
mems from the frozen country.
s'Of course something may intervene
that may change all my present plans
but 1 hope in year to be off for
Alaska for my last long hunt. I want
to spend ar entire year In Alaska, which
is row the hunters paradise of the
world
When asked if he might make a. try
for the pole Mr.. Dyche replied like a
fash, Il am hunter. not an explorer"

Robert s. Lovett May BO Union

Likely to Be Elected at Board
Meeting Next Week.
DE FORESTS ELECTION
New Director an Intimate As
soc;a.o of Hartman.
Other Items of Interest in
Railway Circles.

New York, Oct. 16.-While no mee.-
ing of the board of directors of the
Union Pacific for the purpose of re-
organization has yet been called, it is
understood that the board will meet
next week, when a president will be
elected to succeed the late E. H. Har-
riman. According to present indica-
tfons, Robert S. Lovett, recently chosen
chairman of the Union Pacific and
Southern Pacific boards, will be named
as president of the Union Pacific The
election of Henry w. Deforest as di-
rector was in accordance with the ex-
pectations entertained in well Informed
quarters, and presented further evil
dence in refutation of the rumors cur
rent few weeks ago that new inter-
ests would gain a position On the Union
Pacific board. Mr.. Deforest has for a
long time been closely identified with
the Hartman party.

over the emperor and his foreign
troops; the execution of thc emperor
and the re-esta blishment OF tho Next
can republic.
No Preparation Then.
There was no preparation for the
coming of the first president who
made Ciudad Juarez the temporary
capital of Mexico; unheralded and
heartsore from his long journey and
frequent defeats. Bonito Juarez rode
into the little adobe village that was
then known as Pas del Norte, on a
mule. Few if any recognized him
when he rode into the little city and
settled down on Plaza Guadalupe
Hidalgo in the shadow of the ancient
Church of the Guadalupe, in a long,
low adobe house, to establish the cap
ital of what was left of the Mexican
republic.
1t is different today. For months
the preparations have been in pro-
gress for the coming of President
Diaz. Troops have been arriving daily
for weeks to police the city and serve
as a proper military escort for the
president and his distinguished guest,
the president of the United States.
Emissaries have been arriving from
Mexico City to complete every detail
for the comfort of the president
Architects, decorators, florists, cooks
of reputation, and secret service men
have thronged the little city for weeks
and days; $4,000 alone has been
spent rebuilding the Juarez custom

GAIN FOR VANDERBHTS.
The Election of Hughitt So Regarded
on Wall Street.


New York. Oct. 16.-Announcement of
the election of Mr.. Hughitt to the New
York Central board caused some sur
prise in Wall street. where it has been
assumed that some man who might be
regarded as more strictly a represen-
tatiVe of the Hartman interests would
be placed in the directorate. Although
Mr.. Hughitt is a director and member
of the executive committee of the I'm
ion Pacific, he is regarded in banking
circles as essentially Vanderbilt man.
His addition to the New York Central
board is taken to mean a strengthen
ing of the position of the Vanderbilt
interests in that property, and it is re-
ported that they have acquired some
large blocks of New York Central stock
since the death of Mr.. Hartmann
Some were inclined to believe that the
entrance of Mr.. Hughitt into the New
York Central board signified the wan
ing of the influence of the Hartman
party in that property. 1t was pointed
out that Mr.. Hughitt, although affilia-
ted with the Union Pacific was d.
rector of shat company in his capacity
as representative of the Chicago &,
Northwestern. which holds large
amount of Union Pacific preferred stock.
II the Hartman party were TO exer-
else an influential voice in the New
York Central affairs in the future il
vas believed that ex-Judge Lovett
would have been named as Mr.. FIarri-
mans successor in the directorate of
that cOmpanY.

MORE FREIGHT TRAFFIC.
Sure Sign Country Has Recovered
From Financial Depression.

New York, Oct. 16.-According to
julius Kruttschnitt, director of opera
ton and maintenance of the Union
Pacific-Southern Pacific lines and the
allied Hartman interests, the freight
movement of the country is greater
than ever before.
"Our reports" said Mr.. Krutt-
schnitt, "show that traffic of the rail-
roads for october this year will con-
siderably exceed that of October.
1907, when 1t had reached its high
water mark. We have not yet re-
duced it to terms of percentage, but
sufficient data are now in hand to sub
stantiate my statement.
This is an indisputable sign that
the country has fully recovered from
the industrial and financial depression
that followed the disastrous panic of
two years ago.
sMorever, it shows beyond doubt
that everybody is at work and that
our marvellous productive capacity
has resumed it's normal efficiency"

Bloated And
Sour Stomach
Need No Longer Be Endured by Suf-
fererS From Dyspepsia.

Need No Longer BE Endured by Suf-
ferers From Dyspepsia.
The stomach and intestines always
contain, even in health, small
amount of gases. They. seem, both
from a chemical and mechanical point
of view, to be essential, to some extent
at least, to good digestion. A great
deal of common air is swallowed with
the food, and the remarkable facility
with which air bubbles are formed in
the saliva is referrable to this special
purpose.
1t follows that oxygen and nitrogen
are natural to the stomach, and it has
been ascertained that nitrogen Isl
greatly in excess of oxygen, showing
that even in the stomach this gas is
some way employed in the vital pro-
cesses. But as gases are easily evolved
by fermentation and decomposition
of food in the stomach and intestines
and as saccharine and other ferment-
able matters dissolved in liquids are
present in the astro-intestinal tube
1t results that it's aeroform contents
are much more complex than is gen.
orally supposed.
When digestion is perfectly healthy
there can be no fermentation and flat
ulence, but as soon as indigestion &C.
ours carbonic acid gas and various
other gases are freely formed in the
stomach and bowels. causing much
discomfort.
The remedies employed for the
cure of f1atulence may be classified
as follows: Those which prevent fer
mentation; those which favor the ex-
pulsion of gas, and those which oxi-
die and absorb gases. Of the RENE
dies which possess the above proper
ties, charcoal is the only one which
has the power of preventing fermen-
tation and decomposition of food, and
at the same time absorbing all excess
gases in the aIimentary channel
Medicines which expel gases from
the stomach, known as carminatives
are not to be compared with a rem
edy which absorbs the gases and pre-
vents eructations or belching

OVER THE KATY TRACKS.
Railroad Board Orders Street Car Co.
to Cross Katy at Parsons.


For the second time the state board
of railroad commissioners have or
dered the Parsons street railway to
build its line under the Missouri kan
sas & Texas railroad crossing in that
city and this new order will have to
be obeyed or a little legal Imminent
will be applied.
The street railway company wanted
to build under the Katy tracks some
time ago and the Katy baked. Then
the board ordered the Katy to allow
the crossing. The Katy could do
nothing but consent. Then the mayor
of the city and the counci1men mixed
on the proposition. The councilmen
thought it all right for the crossing to
be made but the mayor had ideas of
his own and he vetoed the ordinance
and succeeded in winning over
councilman to stand up for his cause.
Now the board orders the street
railway to build the crossing and it
must be done per orders. The street
car tracks go to both sides of the
Katy and the passengers get off the
cars, and walk over to the other car
which awaits them. 1t is an incon-
venience and a nuisance and the c:ti-
zenS are kicking.
