MORE MEN AT HUTCHINSON.
Rock Island Increases Capacity of
Freight Work.

Hutchinson. Kan. Sept 23-As
soon as the many improvem which
are being made by the Rock Island are
completed, the platform force will be
increased in this city. At the present
time there are seven men employed in
transferring freight which passes over
the Rock Island dock, but this number
will not be sufficient to handle the
business within a couple of weeks.
The Rock Island is fast getting
things down to a system in Hutchin-
son. Heretofore there had been some
confusion with regard to freight, but
since the new dock and warehouse
have been built the troubles of the
past have been avoided
1t was learned this morning that be-
sides putting on more men in the
freight department, there will be new
equipment added. Fifteen new trucks
have been ordered and will soon ar
rive here.
For the last two days a large force
of men has been at work on the con-
struction of a new team track on the
south side of the freight dock. This
will be laid in a short time. When
that has been accomplished there is
plan on foot to make a change in the
yards Of the road. It is not known
just what the change will be, but it is
understood that it will put the Rock
Island in q much better position to
make up its trains here.

mo one is asked to purchase pos
lam without first obtaining a sample
package, which will be sent by mail,
free of charge, by the Emergency Lab
oratories, 80 West Twenty fifth street,
New York city"
Even this free sample, when used
to quickly clear the complexion or
spread on the face, hands or limbs to
cure pimples, rashes, eruptions, or to
cover a small eczema surface, will
prove poslam's real and unusual merit.
Its users have found that poslam not
only fulfills but exceeds the claims
made for it. Take any case of eczema,
acne, itch, salt rheum, piles, scalp
scale, etc, however stubborn. and pos
lam will stop any itching as soon as
applied, healing the skin rapidly and
readily. ("All other treatments for
skin troubles on man or animal fade
into nothingness compared with pos
lam" says Mr.. NJ. T. Grattan, Preston,
Mimi
Write direct to the Laboratories for
the sample, but the trial packages of
pOslam at so cents and the jars at 50
may be purchased at all druggists, par
ticularIy Rosser Drug Co. and Fred
A. Shows.

LOWER RATES FOR COLORADO.
Manufacturers Present Petition to In
terstate Commission.

Denver. Colo, Sept. 23.-The Colo
RADIO Manufacturers association will
file a petition before the interstate
commerce commission asking for a
general reduction in freight rates from
the East to Colorado points. The
ground upon which the request will
be made is the suit of the Salt Lake
City shippers which was decided by
the interstate commerce commission
about three months ago.
The Salt Lake City case resulted in
the ordering of a reduction in the rates
from the East to that territory by the
commission. The final disposition of
the suit will come up next November
Last summer Denver business interests
became aroused over the Salt Lake
City fight and the railroads competed
with each other in seeing which could
inform the Denver shippers first that
they would revise its rates to Colo
RADIO in proportion to any reduction
granted Utah. Following the decision
three months ago the railroads forgot
all about their former activity and said
hush" in stage whispers every time
the subject was mentioned

Western Kansas.

Garden City Kan, Sept 23.-Defin-
ate arrangements are being made for
Rhe demonstration train over the Santa
Fe in the lower valley, and the dates
will be October 81 to November IL.
This is the information given by r.
f. Wilson, Industrial agent of the
Santa Fe, to r. H. FaxOn, who has
been endeavoring for some time to Sc
cure a definite promise of the train.
The train will really be under the

but Mr. Wilson will have a private car

formed by that time the association
would be equal in authority with the
college and himself.
