,PENDOVER A MILLION

Seventy-five million dollars are to be
expended within the mex five years to
give the people of Kansas and the
other parts of the West the best that it
is possible to give them in the, way of
railroad equipment and track. The
announcement of the appropriation of
this immense sum by the Union Paci-
fc railroad company startled the world
and particularly that part of it which
lies in what is known as Union Paci-
fic country.
But the Union Pacific had still an
other thrill "up its sleeve" for the pub
lie, and Gerrit Fort, passenger traffic
manager of the system, sprang this
when he announced that the greatest
sum ever appropriated in lump for a

BLOOD WAS IN
POOR CONDITION
That Is the Story of All Sufferers
from Nervous Troubles.
The Cure of This Woman Shows Why
Tonic for the Blood l. the Best
Medicine for the Nerves.


Mrs. j. D. Smith, whose address is
" 0. Box 122, Albany, Mo-, was re-
Btc-Sd to health by the tonic treatment
with DIR. Williams Pink Pills. She
says:
A few years ago was suffering from
= general breakdown in health owing to
an attack of the grip and a nervous
shock. For nearly three months l was
confined to my bed. 1 was subject to
fainting spells when it seemed that my
heart failed me. was also troubled
with numbness, principally on my left
aide. / could not step on my left foot
for long time and had to be pushed
around in a chair. My tongue would
get thick and could pinch myself with
out feeling pain. My blood was in q
very poor condition, 1 had no color and
became thin and weak. had no desire
70 eat anything and my people thought
l would never get well. 1 was kept
alive on stimulants.
1.-THE doctors did not seem to know
what my trouble was. None of them
helped me in the least. After we had
spent a great deal of money and had
tried everything that seemed to offer a
cure, friend advised us to try DR.. Will
iams' Pink Pills. My husband bought
some for me and received strength from
them from the start My improvement
was rapid and 1 was finally able to get
around. l took the pills until cured
and have been doing all of my house
work since. 1 always keep DR.. Will
Hams Pink Pills in the house and would
not be without them"
DIR. Williams Pink Pills have cured
anamia, rheumatism, sciatica, nervous
ness, after-effects of the grip and fevers,
and neuralgia, owing to their blood
building property. These pills were
originally a prescription used in the
doctors private practice and their bene-
fit to mankind has been increased many
thousand-fold by their being placed on
general sale with the doctor own direc-
tions for use.
DIR. Williams Pink Pills are sold only
in packages, never by the dozen or
kendred. The genuine are sold by all

they bring to their owners in the

production of winter wheat, growing
1912 per cent of the entire amount
raised in the United States. Kansas
also was second in the production of

Horticulture Also Is Profitable.
'"Then in addition to that Kansas
can grow as good apples, peaches,
pears and cherries as any state in the
Union. There is belt of land running
across the state that is as well adapted
to fruit growing as any o. the greatly
advertised regions, and it Is time the
people were told of it. That is where
we come in. The Union Pacific has
extended its hand to the people of
Kansas, and intends to march straight
ahead with them to prosperity. With
our entire system double tracked, and
our great advertising appropriation, we
will draw new people to Kansas, put
them down on the vast areas which
will soon be cut I'D into smaller and
so much more profitable farms, and
from their greater output we will yield
our profit.
'All 1t takes is the spirit of brother

and of the men of the Union Pacific
put to the wheel, that wheel must go

Is Mystery.


Frankfort, Kan. June 9.-Ellen
Massey, aged Is years committed sui
eide by shooting herself in the temple
with a twenty-five .target rife. She
was found on. the floor upstairs by her
mother, who had gone to call her to
the telephone. The gun was lying on
the bed, with an extra cartridge be-
side it. .--
She had gone upstairs, so her mother
supposed, to do some sewing. No one
heard the report of the gun. and she
had been dead, so a physician said,
about an hour when she was found.
She had evidently placed the gun on
the bed and pulled the trigger. and in
falling had thrown the gun away from
her.
No motive can be assigned for the
act. The family can think of no reas-
on for 1t, and say that she seemed in
usual good health.
She was to have been married soon.

GOES AFTER RECORD
Sherman White to Play
Piano Day and Half.

Sherman White, the well-known To-
cal piano player, who has probably
played for more dances than any 9TH
er person in the city. has announced
that beginning next Friday morning at
gin piano playing endurance con-
test in an effort to break the worlds
record which is 81 hours and SO min
utes. White has not only fixed his
own time for beginning the marathon
endurance contest but has gone SO far
as to fix the time when he expects to
complete his feat. Unless he mis-
takes his prowess and capacity for en-
durance he will play continuously,
without leaving the stool or remov-
ing his hands from the keyboard. un-
til 9 o'clock Saturday night, which will
complete a record of 3S hours and So
minutes. the longest known time ever
to have been spent continuously at a
piano. Girls who complain because
they must practice for an hour or two
a day and that at odd moments and
generally interspersed with a liberal
supply of bon bons, may contemplate
the physical test such feat as Sher-
man White proposes and have some
idea of the grind"
Roller skating contests have a ply
steal strain, but piano endurance
contest has mental strain that is
far more fatiguing and wearing on the
nerves than most any kind of physical
endurance, consequently the undertake
ing White has assumed will test him
to his fullest powers. but his friends
are promising him all the encourage
ment and supper: possible and are con-
fident of his breaking the worlds rec
ord for endurance piano playing. The
contest will undoubtedly be a great
drawing card for the Coliseum man.
