MAY RIDE ON FREIGHTs.
No Release Is Necessary to DO So
Either.

All the Kansas railroads have no.
titled the state railroad commission.
ers that the freight train releases
have been abolished in that state.
The first of the month the Kansas
i supreme court held that requiring
a passenger to sign release for all
damages in order to ride on freight
train was illegal and that a passen-
ger who refused to sign the release
and was put off could collect dam
ages.
Two years ago the legislature
passed bill requiring the railroad
to allow passengers to ride on local
freight trains. The railroads refused
to let them ride unless each passen-
ger signed release which absolved
the companies from all damages
which might arise because of the pas
senger riding on the freight train.
Some men in Wilson county refused
to sign release and were put off a
Santa Fe train. They brought suit
and collected damages in the lower
court and the suit was affirmed by
the supreme court and the damages
ordered paid. Since then the rail-
roads have abolished the releases and
anyone can ride on a freight train at
any time simply by buying ticket
and getting aboard.

Life Guards.

The Life Guards are two regiments
Of cavalry forming part of the Brit
ish househ old troops. They are gal
liant soldiers, and every loyal British
heart is proud of them. Not only the
Kings household, but yours, ours,
everybody's should have its life
guards. The need of them is espec-
tally great when the greatest foes of
life, diseases, find allies in the very
elements, as colds, influenza, catarrh,
the grip, and pneumonia dosln the
stormy month of March. The best
way that we know of to guard against
these diseases is to strengthen the
system with Hoods Sarsaparilla-the
greatest of all life guards. 1t removes
the conditions In which these diseases
make their most successful attack,
gives vigor and tone to all the vital
organs and functions, and imparts a
genial warmth to the blood. ReTnem.
Der the weaker the system the great
er the exposure to disease. Hoods
Sarsaparilla makes the system strong.

.AlR.SHIP FLIGHTS TO
De HERE IN TWO WEEKS
Q. w. Parker's New Bi-PIane to Ar
rive Soon.

The first air ship flights in Kan
sas will take place here In two weeks
Q. w. Parker returned this morning
from Boston where he purchased q
Herring-Burgess bIplane which is
being exhibited at the Boston automo-
bile show. 1t will be shipped by
express to this city March 10 and
when it arrives the practice flights
will commence. He brought home
with him an expert aviator, Prof. G..
LaComme of France who will have
charge Of the machines and will
teach the Parker employees their ir-
tricacies. He has had four months
experience and has made many
flights.
"At the Boston show were ex-
hibited eighteen aeroplanes OF differ
ent types but the one / purchased is
the only one that has flown succ 10
fully " said Mr.. Parker. Il saw It's
trials at Marbelhead and 1t is a SUE
cess. The east is airship crazy and
every amusement man in the country
is looking for the flying machines.
Two hundred machines have been
built in this country but only, four
have been successful. The Paulan
and Wright machines of course are
the originals and they work and these
200 machines have all been built
with the idea of outdoing the first
successful machines.
when the machine arrives a fire
proof building will be built some
where inear this city where a wide |
space can be found for flights. The
location is not yet seleced. The prac-
tice flights will be private and for
the purpose of learning the machine
before the public flights are made.
Probably 20 or 80 flights will be
made before the public exhibition"
Mr.. Parker has also purchased a
machine which is being made
n Paris and will be here later in the
jpring.
He also visited flights in Longl
sIand and was at Washington and
Jew York. Business in the east is {
Iuiet," said he, "and the people think
We are all milionaires out west. They !
,et excited whenever a westerner
Oms along for he always has the {
old cash while they seem to do bust
less with credit mostly"
A space mile square of level
round is wanted for the airship prac-
Ice flights and some farmer can get
he chance to have the first trials In 3
he west, He saw his machine fly at1ss
AXE Chehaco on the ice near Mar {
lehead and says 1t is a wonder. t
Welcomed at LeaveRworth. .
Mr.. Parker visited day at Leaven- q
'orth finishing up some of the pro-
eedings in the purchase of the site
Or his new building there. He plans !

people are enthusiastic

They Are Coming Forward Under
Very Favorable Conditions.
The wheat crops of the world are pro-
crossing under exceptionally favorable
circumstances. the worst complaint. in
fact, coming from the United States.
Russia, which is now the leading wheat
country OF the world. is again meking
giant strides toward another great crop,
and the significant statement wss made
during the week that the Russian rail-
roads have placed orders for 1900 new
cars in anticipation of a heavy crop
movement.
The United States has exported SO little
wheat In the last two years that It has
practically ceased to pay much attention
to the developments OF foreign exporting
countries, but, assuming S.z- the United
States will be compelled 10 readjust her
wheat values to an exporting basis, the
competition OF Russia is going 10 te q
serious matter. The home requirements
OF Russia are by no means or such fixed
proportions ass they are IN the United
states, as the staple for the masses Is
rye.
In addition TO raising q reoorc- breaking
wheat crop last year. Russia also raised
an enormous rye crop, and indications
point to a repetition OF her success this
year, and Il seems more than likely that
Russia will meet competition by selling
her wheat at reduced prices. for she is
practically il the position where in order
to turn her wheat into money she must
seek outside markets.
Canadian competition VIII also be keen,
as the latter's competition with Russia
has already been reflected IN a break of
% cents in the Winnipeg market from the
high point OF the season.

RESERVE HORSES FIR WAR.
SwitxerIand's Method of Preparing
for Rapid Mobilization.

SWitzeriand's Method OF Preparing
for Rapid Mobilization.
In Switzerland the State IS part owner
OF horses used by reserves. II purchases
a remount at 81 years old, and the SOL
dier pays half the cost OF the horse TO
the government. together with the differ
enee between its cost and the price that
the horse fetehes at auction-for all
horses are sold by auction to the men
After every year Of training the gov
ernment refunds one-tenth OF the original
half cost TO the men, and at the end Of
ten years the horse becomes the absolute
property OF the soldier. In this manner
the soldier IS not only always well
mounted. but as he keeps his horse with
him at his home his mobilization problem
IS of the simplest nature.
The average price OF these Swiss troop
horses is about e45 sterling. says Baily's
Magazine. and as most OF these horses
are imported from Ireland and north Ger
many their price is considerably higher
than Il would be In this country Thus
the State secures the services Of q horse
for an annual outlay Of about e. los;
but there are certain other expenses
which must be included IN this estimate.
such as the cost Of the establishment
for remount depots, SC, which raises
the total cost Of horses for the swiss
government 70 about es 12s. a year.
