EARNINGS NOT so LARGE.
Small Gain for the First Week in
January. 1911.

Railroad gross earnings for the first
week of January make a somewhat
favorable comparison with last year,
although this is not quite so pro-
nounced as for the past few weeks.
The total for all United States roads,
SO far reporting, according to Dun's
Review, amount to $7,293, 321, a gain
of 4 per cent as compared with the
earnings of the same roads for the
corresponding period a year ago. In
every part of the south railroad busi-
ness continues to exhibit wel1-main-
tanned activity, good increases still be-
ing reported by all the leading sys-
TENS, while in the west and southwest,
equally satisfactory conditions prevail
instances where losses occur being not
ably few and unimportant. In other
sections of the country practically
every road making weekly returns
makes more or less increase, especial
ly in agricultural sections, rejecting
probably an active movement of grain
and other farm products.
In the following table are given the
earnings of all United States roads re-

rate has decreased from the high fig
ure reached last year and indications
are that it will continue to do SO. Farm
loans and commercial papers are at
fected, the bankers say.
The change is the result of a gen.
eral accumulation of money, it is said.
The demand of borrowers is less.
Speculation over the entire country is
lessening and as loans are paid up
the money is not being circulated
again.
However, the local financial situa-
ton is not affected to any great ex-
tent. There is a brisk demand for
money on farm loans and short time
notes. The interest rate naturally will
be lowered because of the general de-
crease.

STOMACH AT FAULT.
Indications of Disturbed DigeS-
ton Are Often Mistaken for
Other Disorders and
Cause UnneceS-
Sary Alarm.

.Palpitation of the heart does not inn
ply that the vital organ is diseased
Pain in the back does not necessarily
mean kidney disease.
Headache does not often indicate that
there is anything wrong with your
head.
All of these symptoms are caused by
stomach trouble and when this is righted
the alarming symptoms disappear. If
you have them look to the condition
of your stomach for the cause before
you start to treat the symptoms rather
than the disease.
If the sufferer from any form of
stomach trouble is pale and the blood
thin, the first step toward restoring the
activity of the stomach is to improve
the condition of the blood. A supply
OF rich, well-oxygenated blood is nee
essary to the processes of digestion and
with it, if errors in diet are avoided,
nature will work cure. This is known
as the tonic treatment for indigestion
and is illustrated by the experience of
Mrs. Kate Lasher, of No. 1915 Stinson
avenue, Rosedale, Kans. She says:

with indigestion a few years ago. l

"KANsAs THE BATTLE FIELD"
Slavery Issue, Says the New York
Times, Was Settled in and Over 1T.

: New York. Jan. 31.-The New York
Times in an editorial under the caption,
kansas the Battle Field said:
Kansas was admitted to the Union
fifty years ago. It was the closing act
in contest of seven years, in which
not cnly the admission of the single
state was invclve5, but the very ex-
istence CT the Union, with the fate of
slavery, by which the Union was
Threatened. In the third year of that
young Iterateur and lecturer,
speaking at Wesleyan college COM
mencement, eioquently characterized
the struggle: -
-sThe sweet air we breathe and the
repose OF n Midsummer invite calm
ethical or Intellectual discourse. But
who would have couuted him a friend
of Greece who quietly discussed the
abstract nature CT patriotism on that
Greek summer day through whose
hopeless and immortal hours Leonidas
and his three hundred stood at Their
mopylae for liberty? And today, as
the scholar meditates that deed. the
ait that steals in at his window dark
ems his study and suffocat3s him as
he reads. Drifting across a, continent
and biighting the harvests that gid it
with plenty from the Atlantic to the
Mississippi a black cloud obscureS the
page that records an old crime and
compels him to know that freedom al
Thermopylae is called Kansas.
'.rhis undoubtedly expressed the
spirit Of the great body of the voters
in tile north who n 1865 were rapidly
coming together from the old party
camps to form the Republican party
and carry the election of 1860. 1t had
been gaining strength steadily since
the Kansas Nebraska bill of 1854. re-
ported and chiefly supported by
Stephen A. Douglas, had repudiated
the Missouri compromise and opened
the territories to the possible extension
Of slavery. TIE whole matter at issue
was fought out in and over kansas,
SO that there is no state in the Union
who's history is so significant or so
deeply inwrought with the momentouS
issues of the national life.
sKansas was materially and morally
the battle ground of the struggle that
eliminated with the war for the
Union A single incident reveals this
with striking clearness. One week be-
fore the passage of the bill admitting
the state the senators from Mississip-
pj. Alabama and Florida had aban-
doned their seats to join the confed-
eracy. making possible the passage OF
the measure. It was as if the false

VOTE TO GROW MUsrAcHEs.
Seniors at Paramount College Spring
q Sensation.


Wichita. Kan. Jan. 31.=A tremen-
dous sensation has been sprung at
Paramount college. The men of the
senior class held a secret meeting
few days ago and voted to grow mus
taches. The reverberations following
the announcement of these intentions
have not yet ceased.
But in spite of this vote in secret
the thing may not stick. Every man
of the senior class was bound by all
that he holds sacred in his college
career to let hair grow on his upper
lip. And there's rub. The most sa-
cred thing in the college career of
the average senior is his best girl.
Several best girls declare that hair on
a mans upper lip is sure preventive
OF kissing.
Hence the fair is fraught with Sc
rious complications. Many who
thoughtlessly entered the mustache
bargain are now wishing they were
ont of it. One senior has SO far for
gotten his oath as to declare that
mustachios are of no EARTHLY use ex-
cept when they are made into clothes
brushes

yours at one time. But now I can eat
anything. at any time. For instance.
this clam chowder or sirloin steak or

You haven't the cheer and sociability
you had three months ago. Now I'll

LARGER ORDERS FOR STEEL.
Rail and Locomotive Contracts Heav
ier Than for Many Months.

made by the steel mills for new bust
ness were rewarded last week by lar
ger orders and specifications for rail-
road material, plates, fabricated steel
and wire products. Some railroads
fulfilled standing promises for rail tom
nages, but bridge orders still were
small.
Rail contracts probably will reach
four hundred thousand tons, the lar
gest monthly orders since October,
1909. Locomotive orders, too, are like
ly to exceed four hundred, the largest
since April, 1910, and ear orders the
largest since last June. but it should
be recalled that business in steel and
collateral lines contracted for 40 to so
per cent in 1910, and the beginning of
January was at even a lower rate.

HEIR KEEPS BODY IN KANSAS.
Efforts to Have Oklahoma Pioneers
Grave Changed. Unsuccessful.

Wellington, Kan, Jan. 31.-The eff
forts on the part of the Oklahoma
legislature to have the body of Da-
vid L. Payne, tho original Oklahoma
boomer" who died here in 1884, re-
moved and buried in Oklahoma City
will be vain unless the consent of R.
A. Payne of Portland, Ore, is OBJ
tanned.
A similar movement was started in
1908 and received the approval of
Payne's daughter, Mrs. Elizabeth
Brewster of Mount Hope, Kan. At the
request of r. A. Payne, however, the
city council refused to allow the re-
moval of the body at that time.
David L. Payne started the first col
ony of white men in Oklahoma in
1880, before the territory had been
officially opened for settlement. He
was arrested and expelled from the
territory and several other attempts at
settlement were prevented by govern
ment troops. Wichita was the start
ing point of these expeditions.

of the two at police headquarters

The trouble began last Saturday
morning when the young couple had a

George had gone to work Katie packed
a few things and started for Kansas

Arriving here she found that it was
not so easy to find work as she had
expected. In the meantime George

day he searched with no success and
this morning he decided to apply to
the police for aid.
Meanwhile the young wife's search
for work was proving as fruitless as
that of her husband for her. She was
seen by William Stancliff, a patrol
man, wandering in the neighborhood

rected the runaway wife to the police
station. There she told Officer E. B.
