KINsLEY line INDEPENDENT.
President Brown Says 1t Will Not Join
Any Other Road.

Wichita, Kan, Feb. 1.-THE pro-
posed Kinslev railway has no notion
of atf1liating itself with another pro-
posed line for a joint track into this

May 1. We have a tentative PROPOSE
ton to make to the business men of
Wichita in the near future and we feel
sure that the required support will be
given. I have met a good many of
Wichita's best business men and they
have given plenty of encouragement.

which it was secured augurs we'll for

CAME TO TERMS.
Nineteen Lawrence High School Boys
Are ReinStated.

Lawrence, Kan, Feb. 1.-THE 10 high
school boys who were suspended from
the institution here last week because
of the fact that they were disobeying
the anti-high school frat law by foster
ing and keeping alive two such Greek
letter societies were reinstated in the
school yesterday.
The boys were suspended as a result
of agitation against the two frats by
the nonfraternity members and an in
vestigation by Superintendent F. P.
Smith. The members declared at the
time of the action against them that
they would not agree to remove their
frat pins and sign any agreement to
sever their connections with their frats.
However, after a conference with the
board of education the boys came to
terms and signed a written agreement
to sever all connections with fraterni-
ties and to never more have anything
to do with them in the high school.
They also removed their pins.

The Cause of Colds
Good Advice Regarding the Pre-
vention of Coughs and
Colds

If people would only fortify and
strengthen the system, the majority of
cases of coughs, colds and pneumonia
might be avoided. These troubles are
frequently due to weakness, which
produces a catarrhal condition of the
mucous membrane, which is an internal
skin of the body. When this skin is
weakened it becomes easily infected
with germs which cause many of the
diseases to which flesh is heir. Healthy
mucous membranes are essential safe
guards of the body's general health
coughs, colds, pneumonia, and such like
infectious diseases, is a remedy that
will prevent or cure catarrh.
We have a remedy which we honestly
believe to be unsurpassed in excellence
for the prevention of coughs, colds and
all catarrhal conditions. 1t is the pre-
scription of a famous physician, who
has an enviable reputation of thirty
years of cures gained through the use
of this formula We promise to make
no charge for the medicine should it
fail to do as we claim. We urge every
body who has need of such a medicine
to try Rexall Mucu-Tone.
1t stands to reason that we could not
afford to make such statements and
give our own personal guarantee to this
remedy if we were not prepared to
prove the reasonabIeness of our claim
son why any one should hesitate to &C
cept our offer and try it. We have two
sizes of RexaH MucuTone, prices sc
cents and $1.00. Sometimes a 50-cent
bottle is sufficient to give marked re-

The Rock Island has but one pas

There formerly were two passenger
trains but after the two cent fare Went

RESULTS THAT REMAIN
Are Appreciated by Topeka People.

Thousands who suffer from back
ache and kidney complaint have tried
one remedy after another, finding cniy
temporary benefit. This is discourage
ing, but there is one special kidney
medicine that cures permanently and
there is plenty of proof right here in
Topeka.
Here is the testimony of one who
used Doan's Kidney Pills years ago,
and now states that the cure was last
ing.
N. H Wolff, 113 East Sixth street,
Topeka, Kan, says: 81 have had no
need of a kidney remedy for the past
ten years. Doan's Kidney Pills cured
me of a severe case of backache and
kidney complaint in 1899 and the
cure has been permanent. 1 have
publicly recommended this remedy on
two previous occasions and am now
glad to confirm all I have heretofore
said in it's favor. Doan's Kidney Pills

as hindrance to traffic since the
road was constructed, making it i'm

said to be one of the best paying on

ress, is completed a vast improvement
will be made in both passenger and

IS COMETS TAIL DANGEROUS

Exchange =.
The earth will pass through the
tail of Halley's comet about May 18,
but there will be no danger of gas
asphyxiation, according to statements
of some scientists. Others have pre-
dicted that the earth's inhabitants
would cease to exist with the advent
of the wandering planet. The op-
timistic astronomers have agreed
that the gas composing the tail is
of infinite lightness and there will
be no danger to the living on earth.
The tail of the comet will be visible
about May 5.
Professor Edwin Booth, of the de-
partment Of chemistry at the Univer-
sity of California is quoted as saying
that all life would cease If sufficient
quantity of cyanogen gas united with
the hydrogen of this planet, forming
a deadly poison.

choice of these views and buy or sell

NOW FOR THE WINGLEss CHICK
EN-

Gooding Leader
A chicken fancier in Alton. Illinois.
W. A. Bertram, has invented or dis
covered a wingless chicken. He found
that wings decreased the value of
chickens in cities and towns by max
ing their confinement in yards diff
cult, SO he conceived the idea of
crossing common breeds with Wyan-
dottes and barred Plymouth Rocks,
whose wings are smaller in proper
tion to their weight than those of
other chickens. After several sea-
sons he has produced fowl which
has only few pin feathers where
nature meant for the wings to be,
and which cannot jump fence high
er than two feet. These chickens will
be easier to fatten, according to Bert
ram. as they do not reduce their
weight by the exertion of flying. Their
drumsticks and wishbones will be
bigger in compensation for the dis
appearance of their wings. The chick
en- editor of the Herald does not
vouch for this story, but in the de-
fenseless condition of Gooding gar
dens, he hopes it is true.
