Kansas Crop Without Delay.
Cars Now Being Distributed in
Wheat Section.
EXPECT GOOD YIELD
That 5000 Car
Loads Will Be Hauled.
New Crop Will Be Moving by
First of July.

On the basis of 65.0OO.O0O bushels of

cars to move the wheat crop of Kansas
this year Some authorities place this
years yield at 75,0O0.000 bushels Rail-

wheat is 1000 bushels. Railroad meT.
are very busy these days preparing and
dispatching cars to the wheat loading
centers. They say that the first Of the
new crop will begin to move in about
week.
Most of the roads already have cars
stored at shipping points ready to re-
ceive the new wheat. Railroad men
say they do not expect a car shortage
this year.
e B. Hooser, division freight agent
of the Rock Island railway, said he ex-
pected that his road will handle about
100000 bushels of wheat in Kansas
and Oklahoma this year.
I'VE estimate that we viii need at
least 1000 cars to handle the wheat"
said Mr.. Hooser. Our cars are in good
condition and we think there will be no
shortage. A few of our principal load
ing points are Pratt, Liberal, Herring
ton, and Erie, Kan, and FL Reno and
Medford, Okla
AS fast as cars are loaded they viii
be rushed to the mills and elevators.

dispatched to loading points.
Officials OF the Frisco railway esti-
mate that they viii lead about 500 cars
of wheat in Kansas this year The
Frisco will haul wheat from Ellsworth
Lyons. Pollard Frederick. Medora
Burton and Saxman.
Most of the wheat loading points
along the Orient railway are in Okla
homa. AS the crop in Oklahoma will
be light this year. the chief points at
which wheat will be loaded on the ORR
ent win be in Kansas. Among these
points are Anthony. Harper, Milton,
Viola and Schultz.
D. p. Gerety, chief clerk of the Mis-
souri, Pacific railway, places the num-
Der Of wheat cars which that road will
need on the Wichita division this sea-

HARVEST Two-rHIRDs DONE.
Only Small Portion of Wheat Remains
for Next Week.

Wichita, Kan. June 1.-Two
thirds of the Kansas wheat crop Will
be in the shock by next Saturday
night"
That statement was made by Oscar
K. Lyle, crop expert for S P. Chaplin
and company of Chicago and New
7 orlk.
Mr.. Lyle was in the city last week
to attend the grain mems convention.
From here he went into the wheat
fields and for a week did nothing but
make careful examinations of straw,
heads, berries and meshes of the rip
ening wheat.
Last week I estimated that Kan
sas would produce about 100000
bushels of wheat" said Mr.. Lyle.
''Y esterday, 1 sent an estimate Of e.
100000 bushels and I am not overly
confident that the state will produce
that much. The dry, hot weather last
week did considerable damage in some
portions of the state. Yet the indica-
lions are that Kansas will produce a
little more wheat than was harvested
last year
"darvest is on in full swing. Wheat
cutting began around Salina and
Lindsborg early last week"

DOCTORS WORSE THAN WRECK
Travelling Man Suffers Relapse After
They Examine Him.

Hiawatha. Kan, June 16.-How would
you like to be taken from a railroad

with your hip badly bruised and other

FACTS ABOUT
RHEUMATISM
An Attack Always Causes Rapid
Thinning Of the Blood.
Or. WilIiarns' Pink Pills Cure the Dis
ease Because They Make New
Rich Blood.

There is a great deal still to be learned
about the cause of rheumatism DuJ one
fact now stands out prominently
rapid thinning of the blood from the
beginning of the attack. This may be
one of the causes Of the disease OF one OF
its effects but it is known that anything
which viii build up the blood during
an attack of rheumatism Will cure the
trouble. Such a remedy either attacks
the cause or counteracts its harmful
effects and enables the system to throw
il of. DR.. Williams Pink Pills owe
their curative effect to this action.
Rev. w. R. Brock, OF Berwyn, Okla,
an telling Of his experience, says;
"When | was a boy OF about twelve
years, I had what boy seldom has
rheumatism. l had been IN PAD
health for some months and was taken
out Of school on account OF 1t. But 1
kept getting worse and at one time
could hardly get around. This, sup
nose. undermined my health and was
the cause of the later troubles which
afflicted me.
fsSome years ago I had liver trouble
which finally caused a chronic diarrhoa.
This in itself was very weakening but, in
addition to that, my stomach refused
hearty food, 7 had a severe pain in my
side almost all of the time and, when |
walked any distance, / became out of
breath. with a feeling of burning at the
heart. My head and limbs would ache
fearfully, especially at night. Then my
rheumatism came on again and, later,
] had a dry hacking cough.
Il was under the care of two ply
sicians but, although the tonics they
gave me seemed to do me good for
while, the effect was only temporary.
A friend in Texas, some years before,
had told me of the benefit he had re-
ceived from DR.. Williams Pink Pills,
but I thought then l would trust to the
doctors However, doctors were not
helping me and finally l was induced
to try Dr. Williams Pink Pills by an
advertisement in a paper took them
and eight boxes cured me.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills are for sale
at all druggists, or will be mailed to
any address, postpaid, on receipt of
price, so cents per box; six boxes for

KANSAS FARM IS SINKING.
Drying of subterranean Stream De
cIared to Be Responsible.

Wellington. Kan, June 16.-There
have been some strange happenings
on Harry Whites farm, southwest of
wellington. The earth has been sink
ing In spots on his farm Most Of the
sunken spots are in the alfalfa field
where Mr.. Whites hogs are feeding,
and several times he has had to dig
the hogs out from the sunken ground.
The first unusual occurrence Of
this kind happened two or three days
ago when a big hog disappeared. Mr.
White happened to notice depression
in the field, and examining it found
the hog at the bottom, almost buried
in the earth, and unable to extricate
itself. The depression was three or
four feet deep. The next day The The
earth sunk in another part or the
field. carrSdng down with it several
pigs. There are other signs of sink
ing earth about the farm.
Mr.. White is unable to explain the
phenomenon. but It is supposed that
an underground stream has gone, dry
and that the earth is caving in above
the bed. thus creating the holes in the
surface of the ground.
