PEOPLE OF TOPEKA
DO NOT DOUBT
AS Proofs of a Local Nature
are So Numerous

Those who have investigated the
claims that are made for the wonder
full Root Juice do not doubt its great
merit, as proofs of a local nature are
sufficiently numerous to convince the
most skeptical Scores of home peo-
pie are rapidly recovering health AFTER
using the remedy but a few days ana
many of them are enthusiastically
recommending it to their friends. AS
a result people are going in numbers
through all hours of the day to the
Arnold drug store to see about 1t, and
many of them are buying it for them
selves and friends, and some who are
using it are even advising their friends
by phone to try it.
A leading business man said we'll
known lady phoned him and said she
had suffered with a bad stomach ana
bowel trouble a long time, and tried
many different things without relief,
but after hearing so much or Root
Juice she got some of 1t and has only
been using it q short while, but the
results are wonderful She said she
couldn't praise it sufficiently, as 1t has
done so much good for her. Such talk
is being heard all over town. ROOT
Juice is certainly a wonderful medl-
cine for troubles of the stomach, liver
and kidneys. The demonstrations are
now being conducted at the Arnold
drug store, 523 Kansas avenue. Inc
people at the drug store are Well post
ed in relation to the remedy and are
glad to give any information within
their power. Many are calling for
descriptive circular.

the other was to float the trains across
on great barges, with tunnel con-
nection from the ferries to central
station. The barge plan was discarded
and plans for a great bridge prepared.
The shipping interests had to be APP
peased and vast obstacles overcome.
Time and again panic descended upon
the country and swept the plan for the

money again crept from it's hiding
places.

ground idea had been considered by
A. ]. Cassatt, late president of the
Pennsylvania, but it had been declared
irnpracticab1e at the time because it
was believed that steam was the only
force that could handle the heavy traf-

power, electricity, was hauling long

with smoke. An examination of these
projects was made and reported on
favorably.

Mr.. Cassatt. and that's about all there
is to tell.
1t has taken six years and 100 million
dollars to complete the station with the
terminals which feed it. The busy lit
tie dollars have gone forth to burrow
through the stone and sand at the bot
tom Of the Hudson and East rivers;
have condemned buildings and acquired
precious right of ways; they have ia
ken the dreams of the great station
from the blue prints of the architects
and wrought therefrom the structure of
stone and steel from which the trains
are running today.
The station itself covers eight acres
and is larger than any other building
ever constructed at one time. The
Vatican, the Tuileries and the Winter
Palace of the car are all larger than
New York's new station but these were
finished after centuries Of toll. AS the

ate points are to be graded between
these figures.
On this basis the first-cIass rate from
Chicago to the Pacific coast would be
approximately $3.50 instead of So as at
present.
The principal railroad systems in
volved in the plan for readjustment of
the western rates are tn Hartman
lines, including the Union Pacific and
Southern Pacific; the Hill lines, the
Great Northern and North ern Pacific;
the Gould lines, including the Western
Pacific and Denver & Rio Grande; the
Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe, and the
Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul, al

United States more or less directly will
be affected.

RAISE IN RATES.
Big Advance Planned by the
TranscOntinental Railroads.
Increase Will Range From %
to 80 Per Cent.
BOTH EAST AND WEST.
To Apply From Chicago to At
lantic and Pacific.
BOTH EAST AND WEST.
New Schedule Will Be Put Up to
Commerce Commission.

Chicago. Nov. 2S.-Transcontinenta
railroad officials in session in Chicago
are planning an advance in freight
rates between Chicago, New Y DIRK, Bos-
ton, and other eastern points and the
Pacific coast. The advance contempla-
ted an increase amounting to % and 30
per cent according to a news article
in the Tribune today.
A plan is contemplated which will in
crease the rate between Chicago and
the Pacific coast but also will cut down
materially the advantage over Chicago
which New York and Atlantic seaboard
shippers have enjoyed in the past. The
rates from Chicago and New York to
the coast heretofore have been the
same.
Under the proposed schedule, not yet
Endorsed by the interstate commerce
commission, the rate from Chicago to
the Pacific is raised so cents a hundred
pounds, but New York has dollar ad-
ded to the tariff it's shippers now pay
for freightS from there to Pacific ports.
The transcontinental lines are now in
conference over their proposed through
schedule increases. In their effort they
seek shelter under the amendment to
the long and short haul clause of the
interstate commerce law, effective Feb
ruary II.
The railroads seek this increase as an
alternative. They say they do not want
to be forced by the government to re-
duce their rates to intermediate points
in the west which in some cases are
higher than the existing through rate
to the coast.
Their alarm in this direction the roads
claim is justified by the action of the
interstate commerce commission in the
Spokane rate case, where the original
rate from eastern points equaled the
through rate to coast points plus the
local rate from the coast back to Spo-
Interstate ~
mission reduced the through rate to
Spokane first to an equality with that
to coast points and later to 10 cents
less than that to the coast.
The railroads will ask the interstate
commerce commission first to maintain
the existing rates. Failing in that, they
will throw their whole energy into an
effort for an increase of existing
through rates to the Pacific coast % or
even 80 1-3 per cent.

Vaulted tops. where small and Orna-

tracery of the same design as that of
the balustrade of the veranda. In the
rear wall of the large middle apartment
were two large windows, each with
double shutters of some dark heavy
wood, plentifully bound with wrought
iron bands and heavy nails spiked into
intricate designs similar to those of the
big front doors which were swung back.
The walls were bare except in four
places, where exquisite weapons of
different designs surrounded shields
beautifully inlaid with gold. The flank

ends were stationary couChes covered
with old tapestries whose colOrs had

The Consul turned back the bolts and threw the
door OPEN disclosing tiny paradise, walled IN with
high gray walls all four sides and exquisitely laid
out with lawns, floral beds, and fine trees and
bellished with pergoas and tiny terraces of marble
1t lighted throughout with iron lanterns which
lent a mellow radiance to the whole setting. The
Consul laughed at the girls surprise and delight but
steadily led them toward the farther end.
Almost against the wall stood low white building
constructed largely of marble but of different archi
lecture than the prevalent Moorish structures. 1t
fronted with deep veranda, the roof of which
was supported by COrnithian columns. Broad marble
steps led up TO it. and its nClOsed portion rallied
with marble cut into delicate openwOrk patterns.
From the roof of the veranda hung other Moorish
lanterns with shaded glass sides and wrought iron
traCeTies.
