GIVE YOUR
STOMACH
A CHANCE
Nature viii Cure Your Indigestion
If You Supply the Material
and Stop Blocking the
Process.

In cases of weak stomach where the
patient is pale and the blood thin, the
first step toward restoring the activity
of the stomach is to improve the condi-
ton of the blood. A supply of rich, we'll
oxygenated blood is necessary to the
processes of digestion and with it, if
errors in diet are avoided, nature will
work a cure. This is known as the tonic
treatment for indigestion and is well
illustrated by the experience of Mrs. G.
w. Eggleston, of No. 1905 East Crane
street, Topeka, Kans., whose husband is
a switchman on the A. T. & S. F. r. R.
She says:
''In my case stomach trouble seemed
to follow a rundown condition. What
food | ate did not seem to digest but felt
like lump in my stomach. My stomach
would bloat with gas and was sour all of
the time. was so sore; about my body
that l could not bear to have my clothes
touch me.
Later began to be troubled with
rheumatism which settled in my limbs.
They were swollen and at times my arms
were SO stiff that could not raise them.
There was dull aching pain through the
small of my back and for weeks could
not bend over.
Nothing seemed to help me, although
/ tried many remedies, until / began tax
ing DR.. Williams Pink Pills. A few
boxes helped me and / continued with
them until completely cured of both the
stomach trouble and rheumatism. am

The tonic treatment with DIR. Williams
Pink Pills by building up the blood SO
that it can nourish and strengthen the
weakened digestive system has made
hundreds of cures in the most severe
stomach disorders. This record of cures
should merit trial for the remedy which
is guaranteed free from opiates.

QUICKsAND INTERPRETERS.
Unstable Foundation for Union Pacific
General Offices.

Omaha, May 10.-Quicksand has
been found at a depth of fifty-odd
feet on the site of the new general
Office building of the Union Pacific.
Behring'S for a test caisson in the
northeast part of the site developed
the quicksand. 1t runs through nine
or ten feet. A few feet below is what
is supposed bedrock.
A calculation was that bedrock
would be found at an average of So
feet below the street surface, but it is
said it really is as far down as 62 to
65 feet.
Finding the quicksand throws the
foundation up in the air" for while
concrete caissons were specified if the
ground proved solid, yet this test Gals
son was in the contract Now that
quicksand exists the question of what
foundation shall be put in goes to the
architect, Jarvis Hunt of Chicago, to
say.
It is thought the quicksand under
lies the whole site.

Welded FIFTY YEARS.
w. E. Turner and Wife Celebrate
Golden Anniversary at Emporia.

Emporia, Kan, May 1O.-Mr. and
Mrs. w. E. Turner have been married
fifty years. They are old settlers in
Kansas and are among the few to live
to enjoy such a long union together
Mr.. Turner was born in Kentucky in
the year 1887, moved to Missouri
while young and was raised on a farm
in Platte county, Mo. He came to
Kansas in 1853, where he worked on
the Santa Fe trail for the government
He had many interesting events with
the Indians and he can talk for hours
of his life on the plains.
His wife, who was Mary E. Squires,
was also born in Kentucky in the year
1912, and was raised in Missouri
where she met Mr.. Turner. After the
first settling of Kansas the Squires
family moved to a farm in Atchison
county, near Oak Mills. Here w. E.
Turner and Mry E. Squires were united
in marriage in the year 1850. Shortly

born to them, four of whom are now
living. NJ. Turner of bingham; H.
w. Turner of Lawton. Okla. Mrs. F.
r: Aldrich of Caney, Kansas, and
Richard Turner of Emporia. On this
claim Mr.. and Mrs. Turner lived until
1898, when they moved to Emporia,
where they have lived ever since.
Recently about thirty guests gather
ed at the home of Mr.. and Mrs. Turner
marriage. The house was decorated in
carnations and ferns and vines of
honeysuckle twined here and there. At
6 o'clock the folding doors of the
dining room were opened and the guests
were led to the table full of dainties
by the bride and groom of fifty years.
A brides cake covered with fifty can
dies stood in the center of the table.
After a three course dinner was served
the groom lighted the candles. and
while they burned President Hill of
the State Normal gave an interesting
address of congratulations to the pa
rents and children. This was followed
by a talk by one who attended the
original wedding fifty years ago and
also the twenty-f1fth anniversary, Mr..
H. C. Squires of LeavenWorth, a broth
er of the bride. The latter gave some
interesting facts about the history of
the family in the pioneer days and the
pleasures it gave all to be together
again. Following this were several
short talks by neighbors and friends.
Then the bride cut the first piece of
the wedding cake, and the guests in
their turn were helped.
Many valuable presents were re-
ceived: Set of gold banded china, gold
watch and chain to bride, gold headed
cane to groom and many piece of gold
money along with other useful articles.
The out of town guests were: Mr..
and Mrs. H. G. Squires of Leaven-
worth, Francis Goble of Kansas City,
James Turner of bingham, Mr.. Henry
Turner of Lawton. Okla, and Mrs.
Frank Aldrich of Caney, Kansas.

RAILROAD NEWS.
Freight Earnings Increased
Materials
More Rate Advances Added to
d. Recent Ones.
ABOUT IL PER CENT.
The Average Advance Made
Thus Far.
Other Items of General Interest
in Railroad World.

Freight earnings of the railroads be-
tween Chicago and the Rocky Noun
tains will be increased almost 2 per
cent by the rate advances recently an
nounced and some others to be filed in
washington, taking into consideration
the ultimate effect of the final checking
OF tariffs, according to vice president
OF one of the western systems.
There has been no general advance
and no fixed percentage of advance,
said he. but the average advance on
about 100 commodities is around II per
cent We have gone over each COM
modify rate carefully and determined
" hat il will stand. No effort was made
to change the class rates. in ddVanc-
ing commodity rates the class rates
have been observed as the maximum.
Most of the commodity rates adVanc-
ed will continue to be commodity rates
but where the differences between the
old commodity rates and the class rates
were only or 3 cents per 100 pounds
the commodities have been taken into
the classification.
Il think the interstate commerce
commission realizes that many com
modify rates have been preferential and
equivalent to a system of rebates, be-
cause the special reasons for when
they were made in the early days OF
the west no longer exist. Traffic con-
ditions in the west are getting more
ike those in the east.
I'VE have readjusted the rates equi-
tabIy, so there will be no changes in
the relations of the rates. no disturb
ance of Industries or commercial CEN
tiers. The advances will create the least
possible disturbance. The amount in
VOWED has been grossly overestima-
ted
1t is believed that the - per cent av-
erage advance in these commodities, on
top of the recent advances in coal,
ool., live stock, packing house prod
ucts and other important freight, and
the further commodity advances
planned for July l, would add $1,000 900
freight revenue the next fiscal year to
the earnings of a railroad that showed
$4,000, 900 freight revenue the current
fiscal year.

fore final action is taken. The mem
bership is composed almost entirely of
representative business men and citi-
zens. 1t will in no way interfere with
the progressive commercial club, and
will act in harmony with that club in
every enterprise for the advancement
of Blue Rapids best interests. The
new club rooms are conveniently To-
Gated and furnished. Card. billiards
and pool tables are used by the mem
bers and guests. The walls of the
rooms are nicely decorated with paint
ings and steel engravings, besides the
daily papers, magazines, writing tables
and supplies are furnished. It is a
club that will grow in popularity and
be of great value to Blue Rapids.

STEEL CARS TOO HOT.
Ripley Not Convinced of Their Ad-
vantage on Desert.

Los Angeles, May 10.-"The spend
ing of that S31. 100000 which was list
ed for Santa Fe betterments." said
President E. P. Ripley of the Santa
Fe, has not at all been decided upon.
Before the end of the year it will be
impossible Tor us to spend more than
$2.00O.000 in the west outside of the
work we already have planned, except
for the new equipment which we have
decided upon
This equipment will be the best in
the country. We already have expert
mented thoroughly with the Mallet
type of engine, and as a result we will
place an order at once for 40 of the
100 type for the western lines"
These mammoth pullers are built by
the Baldwin Locomotive works and
cost more than $4,000 each. Their
weight is about 100000 pounds each
with tender. They have an oil tank
capacity of 1000 gallons. and water
tank capacity of $4,000 gallons.
The tender alone has twelve "a
der are together 100 feet long The
diameter of the drive wheels is more
than five feet.
This huge machine is in reality two
engines in one, and the 40 to be or
dered for the western line will cost in
excess of 100000.
Taking up the question of other i'm
provementS in the western service Mr..
Ripley stated that more than $50 new
cars for transcontinental traffic will be
ordered at once, with later orders to
follow.
Il am not convinced " said he, that
steel coaches are the thing in the west.
It is a question of heat in crossing the
desert, and steel coaches pick up heat
faster than do coaches that are wood
en- covered. The new type coaches are
all made with solid steel floor and side
braces, and are fully as strong as the
solid steel coaches. There is. there
fore, nothing to be desired either way

Cormick Coal company, the Burnet
Coal company and mine No. 80 of the
Central Coke & Coal company, and
pursued the same tactics. At the Chap
man shaft a number of the mob lead
ers suggested throwing an engineer
into a firebox, but were prevented
from so doing by the other raiders.
This is the third raid made on the
mines in this district since Thursday.
The strikers are incensed because the
engineers and pumpmen continue to
work, despite the fact that the mine
workers are on a strike.

LARGE CAR SURPLUS.
The Total Number of Idle Cars Is
1O2,OS5.

An increase of 24.5 per cent in the
number of idle cars over the figures Of
two weeks ago is shown by the report
of the American Railway association,
just issued, bringing data down to
April Of. The total number of idle
cars reported is 1O2,OS5 an increase
of 1873, while the total shortage is
only 5,766. making a total net of idle
cars of 96,319, an increase of 1882
over two weeks ago. About one-half
of the total surplus is made up of box
cars the remainder being divided be-
tween coal and miscellaneous. The in
crease in miscellaneous is attributed to
accumulation of coke cars in the mid
die west The decrease in shortage is
accounted for by the box car figuGEs
Through the west and southwest the
increase in surplus coal cars is most
marked. while the middle west and
southern territories show largest in
creases in surplus box cars.
