YOAKUM MAY RESIGN.
RumOrs State That Rock Island
Frisco Chairman Will Quit.

New York, Nov. 2O.-Rumors from
the west to the effect that there had
been a shake-up in the Rock Island
Frisco management at a meeting of
the board of directors in this city, and
that both B. F. Yoakum, chairman of
the board of directors and President
Winchell of the Rock Island. had re-
of Mr.. Winchell here. He declared
that they were absolutely without
foundation, and that no meeting of
the board had yet been held
At the meeting of the American
Railway association in Chicago on
Wednesday, which is attended by the
highest officials in charge of opera
ton, the report was whispered around
that President Winchell would not be
present, because he had been hur-
riedly summoned to New York by
the directors. Mr.. Winchell had only
left New York last Friday, and it was
furthermore whispered that the
dominating interests in the Rock
Island-Frisco properties were not at
all pleased with the Katy deal, and
that they had intimated to Mr.
Yoakum that the acquisition of that
property by Edwin Hawley and him
self as an individual investment was
prejudicial to the Rock Island-Frisco
interests and would tend to divert his
attention from the best interests of
the Rock Island-Frisco and its affairs.
Mr. Yoakum is said to have resented
this and further friction ensued, re-
sulting in call for a special meeting
of the board in New York.

With the arrival of cold weather

of activity and distributive trade re-

than for some time past.
In some sections, particularly the
northwest, the temporary effects of

some lines of wholesale trade, but the
general effect Of the winter visitant
has been helpful.
From the Industrial field generally
the report is of large output and in
some cases, as in the western shoe
trade and the automobile industry,
extra time is being run. The railroads
are buying freely of equipment and
track material.
The timber trade is reported good
as whole, though there are some
scattered complaints from the south
and the north Pacific coast. Business

tres. The total state tax for 1908 was
0S25 on the 500. in 1903 the state tax
is .l26 on each $1G0. An increase of
.u5Zo or an increase of 30 per cent. and
instead of $1.60 on $4,000 it would be
900, more than twice what Mr.. Stan
tax receipt for 1908 and 1909 in his
bands can verify these figures. But
some way Mr.. Stannard could not get
them correct. But isn't it rather strange
tor reform administration defender to
set up the plea that the amount that
each individual would pay, is sr~an?
One thing is sure. there was an in
crease of over 80 per cent and in the
sggregate that is very considerable.
Mr.. Stannard asks why I should try

Charcoal The
Great Absorbent
AbsOrbs and Removes Stomach and
Intestinal Gases and Makes
the Breath Pure

The able researches of DR.. STEM
house, published about the middle of
the last century, excited considerable
interest in charcoal and it's wonder
full absorbing powers. His expert
ments were directed to the deodoriz-
ing, as we'll as the absorbing qualities
of charcoal, and he succeeded in prov
ing beyond all question or doubt, that
It's properties of destroying the Of
fensive odorS of putrid vegetable and
animal matter, depended, not alone,
upon its antiseptic power as had been
generally supposed heretofore, but
also on its quality of absorbing and
Oxidizing eff1uvia or noxious exhaIa-
tions from the putrefying matters
Many other noted physicians have
since that time investigated this alb
sorbent and oxidizing action, and one
of them, DR.. Hunter, has also pub
lished an account of his experiments,
showing the relative amount of the
various gases taken up by the differ
ent kinds of charcoal
Both Stenhouse and Hunter expert
mented with charcoal made from pop-
lar. lockwood, cocoanut shells, willow
wood, and various other woods and
they found that charcoal made from
willow wood possessed by far the
most power of absorbing deodorizing
oxidizing and destroying foul gases. It
may be added here that animal char
coal, which is employed so extensive
ly as deodorizing agent. is very in
ferior to wood charcoal as an abb
sorbent and deodorant.
Stuarts Charcoal Lozenees are
composed of charcoal made from the
finest willow wood, the very best of
all woods that can be used for this
/ urpose. The addition of pure honey
to these lozengeS renders them so
palatable that no one can possibly oh
ject to their taste.

way Circles.

Despite the reports to the contrary
given out by the officials Of the Santa
Fre there is a we'll founded rumor going
around Topeka railroad circles that the
Rock Island and the Santa Fe are pre-
pairing for the biggest contract pattle
ever fought in the middle west
The mail between Kansas City ana
Texas is a mighty heavy proposltloli
for any railroad to handle and In late
years the Rock Island has been ape
to capture a bulk of the prizes Win
their fleeing trains and their smootn
roadbed. The service on both roads be-
tween Kansas City and Wichita Is eX-
cellent and it is on this stretch of track
especially that the two great systems
are sending their magnif1cently equip
ped trains and their hopes for the fed
eral mail contracts.
It is well known fact that both the
Rock Island and the Santa Fe are pre-
pairing to place new trains between
Kansas City and Texas points. The
Rock Island announced the route of its
new train some time ago. Strange to
relate the Santa F'e came out with a
similar announcement a short time
after. The Rock Island said that their

and Wellington. The Santa Fe also
make their train a limited. Both roads
sent along the announcement that the
Increased traffic necessitated the new
trains-but they said nothing of the
mail contracts.
The new Rock Island train is going
to be the Queen" train of the west. 1t
Is whispered around railroad circles
that it will be one of the prettiest and
l.
stopped in Topeka. In the first place it
will be pulled by one of those mag
nificent and powerful S00's, a locomo
tive that has only been on the west
ern divisions of the Rock Island for a
short time and an engine that is con-
ceded to make the best time ever made
by a passenger locomotive.
The equipment of this new train will
be the pride of the Rock Island. 1t will
carry two Pullman coaches, a diner,
two chair cars, a smoker and the mail
and baggage cars. Every passenger car
on the, train will be of the latest and
most up-to-date model. 1t is said that
If this new train should jump the track

side and when finally stopped the

the track and it would continue it's run

will be all steel-nonwreckable and fire
proof. Some of the inside finishings
will be in wood but the rest will be
pressed steel and heavily vestibuled
The Santa Fe will place a similar
train on the rails. They are not going
to be outdone by the Rock Island if it
can be helped and they will make the
fight close one from start to finish.
Of course, the main problem is to get
the trains over the road and when the

MIXES BOXING AND RELIGION.
4. j. Drexel Biddle Devoting Four
Nights a Week to Religious Work

Philadelphia, Nov. 20.-A. J. Drexel
Biddle is devoting four nights a week
to religious work. The success with
which he has met in building up his
Rible class in Holy Trinity church by
making athletics and religion has
brought him invitations from several
churches to inaugurate his work with
them.
In the Church of st. John the Evan
gelist,. where he and his Bible class
took hold of the Sunday school which
had dwindled to the point of disband-
ment, Rev. Edward Earle, the pastor,
says the result has been to double the
attendance of the school. The way Mr..

as made a big hit. He has establish
ed several branches of his class in
various parts of the city, and all are
in fiouriShing condition.

The bonds bear 5 per cent interest;
they are convertible into stock at par

interest on September 1, 1917. Kuhn,
Loeb & Co. have underwritten the
$29,S06,000 of bonds, which are to be
offered at once to stockholders. A
special meeting will be called for Jan
uary IS. 1910, to authorize the total
issue of $175,0 100000.
The new bonds represent a first and
refunding mortgage, which is secured
directly on 3.779 miles of main track
and 952 miles of other track. Event
ually it will be direct mortgage and
a first mortgage of practically the en-
tire mileage. 1t is a lien on the entire
equipment of the road, valued at
$18,621.297. There are $66,393,OO0

ments, additions and equipment, and
$25,000,000 to acquire mortgage bonds
of the st. Louis, Iron Mountain and
Southern, to be issued for better
ments. improvements and addi-
tons to that property. The floating
debt, which a year ago was about
100000, will be taken care of by
these new bonds. The new bonds,
when issued, will make the mortgage
debt, including all prior liens, S25,5OO
per mile.

NOW COMES HUTCHINSON.
Business Men Make Effort to Get Bet
ter Santa Fe Service.

Hutchinson, Kan, Nov. 2O.-Since
the Santa Fe Railway company has
turned down the request of the Com
mercia1 club for better train service
on the Hutchinson Il Southern
branch, an appeal is to be made to
the state railway commissioners. The
Retail Merchants association! which
is interested in the proposition, as
we'll as the Commercial club, adopted
a resolution last night, to appeal the
matter to the state board, and see
whether the service desired cannot
be secured by that means
What is wanted is train arriving
in Hutchinson in the morning over
that branch, and returning in the
evening. General Manager Kouns had
replied to a former request that the
company could not grant it.
W. r. Redick, secretary of the
Merchants association, will send the
request of the association to the state
board at once. The Santa Fe officials
are now framing up a new time card,
and it is desired that the new trains
be included on this card.

FIGHTING HIGHER RATES.
Lemon Growers Seek to Enjoin Santa
Fe and Other Roads.

Salt Lake City. Utah, Nov. 20
Lemon growers of southern Cali
fornia have filed a petition in the
United States district court for an in
junction restraining railroads from
raising freight rates on lemons pend
ing the hearing of complaint al
ready lodged with the Interstate Com
merce commission. The Southern Pa
cific, Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe
and the San Pedro, Los Angeles and
Salt Lake railroads, and the Trans
continental Fruit Bureau are named
as defendants.
The railroads announced an in
crease in tranScontinenta1 rates on
lemons soon after the new Payne
tariff law was passed. Lemon grow
ers contend that the increase in
freight charges absorbs the increased
protection given their industry by the
Payne law.

Hit by Switch Engine at Emporia But
Is Being Repaired.

An accident to the machinery of the
Santa Fe motor car running between
Topeka and Emporia Thursday made
it necessary for the Santa Fe to run a

motor will be made today and it can
continue its trips commencing Monday
morning.
According to report from Emporia
the motor broke down at Usage cry
and it was necessary to send an engine
after it. While being pulled through
the Emporia yards a switch engine
came up from behind and collided with
the car doing considerable damage.
The officials in Topeka claim that they
