Now a visitor can walk through many
suites of offices with his feet sinking

descriptions given by the office boy to
the outer office clerk, by the clerk to
the general clerk, by the general clerk

chief clerk to the BOSS is satisfac-

A. E. Sweet, general manager, has
one Of the prettiest and Best Furnished
offices in the building. It occupies the
tower extension on the second floor,
giving him a north and south view UP
and down Kansas avenue. Mr.. Sweet
has his desk set back in this tower.
The furnishings are all in mahogany
and the carpet feels at least 3 inches
thick. Next to him on the north is
the office of George Hetherington,
chief clerk to the general manager.
Mr.. Hetherington has walnut furnish
ings and like the general manager has
a long row of buttons" on his desk.
1t is the common rule that the I'M
portance of an official can be judged
by the number of buttons" he has

James A. Stewart, general passenger
agent, is situated on the third floor
with his we'll organized force. Like
wise S. w. Mullinix, superintendent of
motive power. ]. B. Smalley. general
superintendent, is on the second floor
adjoining the offices of the general
manager.
In a short time the Rock Island will
have to build an addition to the pres
ent building which is used for the gen
eral offices. Every office is crowded
and some of the offices are moved to
the rear of a nearby hotel With the
growth of the roads business, the nat
ural working order of the second dis
trict and the addition of new clerks to
different departments something VIII
have to be done to accommodate them.
1t is a question in the minds of the Of
ficiaIs whether to build out the two
wings of the building on the north or
to make it higher.

vision Of the act was that the Indians
should receive this sum in full settle
ment That resolution of the tribal
council passed a resolution accepting
that amount in full settlement. That
resolution of the tribal council was
sent to the president of the United
States, was approved by the president,
and was a receipt in full. In addition
to that, when the payment was made
to each individual, each individual
signed receipt in full, and it refers
to this award. the only award made,
and that is the award of March 8, 1903
The truth Of the matter is this
claim has already been paid in full
twice, and / contend now, as I con-
tended on the conference committee,
that had the senate been advised of the
true facts in this case they would not
have consented to have paid one other
cent to the Indians over and above the
$780, 900 that was paid in the first in
stance. These Indians have been paid
in full.
'tThen it is said there is nothing In
here that is obnoxious to the rule, and
that it is carrying out the provisions
of a treaty. There is no treaty, but a
mere agreement, an act of congress,
because the policy in dealing with the
Indians was changed in 1871, and in
that agreement there is no provision
for the payment of attorneys fees, and
yet in this item you find provision
made for the payment of attorneys
fees which was not contemplated by
the act of 1902. There is nothing of
that kind provided for in the agree
ment This is an attempt to put gen.

bill, and I submit, Mr.. President, that
it is subject to the point of order I

Ottawa, Kan. Feb. 13.-The late
John B. johnson, who died here last
August, had little faith in the banks
of this country. He was foreman of
the Santa Fe machine shops here
many years and every month sent
money back to his home town, Worces-

in the Old Bank of Worcester.

Physical Education Now a Part of X.
U. Training.

Lawrence, Kan, Feb. 13.-Fancy
dancing is a new course that has been
added to the work in physical educa-
ton at the University of Kansas
Young women in the freshmen and
sophomore classes are now required to
spend a part Of their time in learning
to interpret the classic and aesthetic
folk dances.
We are teaching the girls the folk
dances of the peasantry in Denmark,
Sweden and Norway, principally said
Miss Mary c. Fish. professor Of physi-
cal education. "Of course, there are
changes in some of the steps which
have been adapted slightly to the
American dances. All these forms of
dancing had their origin in the mo-
tfons of the arms and body. They are
suggestive of the different occupations
of the peasants in these countries.
Thus. in orr classes. we try to inter
pref the tailors' dance, the reapers'
dance. the dance Of the vintage, dances
in celebration of victories OF war and

Lincoln, Neb., Feb. 13.-The Univer-

AMERICAN SCORING TO BE OPEN.
Ban johnson Does Not Take to Ma
tionaI League Plan.

in the American league, in all proba-
bllity, will be done in the open this
year, same as before. President John
son of the league says protests from
other cities had been received point
ing out disadvantages in the scheme to
keep secret the identity of official
scorers and he thought the PROPOSE
ton had SO little chance to find favor
in the eyes of the club owners that
he probably would not present it to
them at the coming schedule meeting.
The strongest protest came from St.
Louis, seat of the trouble out of
which grew the idea to protect the
game from similar affairs in future.
The objections are based chiefly on
the ground that there would be more
opportunity for cheating than If the
full glare of publicity is thrown about
the scoring at all times.

SUPPLY MEN ARE WORRIED.
Hand-to-NTouth Policy of Railroads
Due to Uncertain Rate Conditions.

Hand-to-MOuth Policy OF RaIIrOaGS
Due to Uncertain Rate Conditions.
New York, Feb. lit appears to
be generally conceded that it is a long
time since men engaged in the manu-
facture of railway supplies have been
obliged, as they are at this time, to
hunt for business and pursue possible
contracts that not infrequently prove
regular will O. wisps. The reason, of
course, is obvious to all who under
stand the situation, and for months
have been painfully familiar with the
hand-to-mouth policy governing the
buying of the railroads. 1t has been
frankly stated by the latter that in the
tremendous and protracted effort made
to get advance freight rates, unless
assured of the greater revenue that
higher rates would give, they can not
afford to go into the market and en-
gage in liberal buying.
1t has been charged, however, that
the action of the roads which has been
SO paralyzing to the supply business is
the result of a concerted plan or I'M
Outstanding at least among some of
the lines, and for the sole purpose of
making the public believe that without
higher rates there can be no prosper
Gus railway operation, and all other
avenues of trade and commerce must
share the burden of resultant depres-
sion.
The supply men are hoping for early
betterment of the present situation.
It is at this season of the year they
have, been accustomed to receive a
plentitude of orders, the flow of which
continues until about June.

TWO REMNANTS IN BLUE GRASS.

RHEUMATISM
WEAK KIDNEYS &THIN BLOOD

Not only is the blood the great
nourishing source of our systems, but
equally as important is its work of
removing the waste of oxodized it's,
sues which have been consumed In
force and bodily heat. This waste is
filtered out through the kidneys.
When, however, the kidneys become
weak and unable to perform their
regular duties, the waste is allowed
to remain in the circulation, soon
forming uric acid which destroys the
greater portion of nourishing elements
of the blood and leave it weak and
acrid. This imperfect blood deposits
into the different muscles and Joints
the uratic impurity with which it is
contaminated. Then the pains and
aches of Rheumatism commence. The
gritty formation which uric acid
causes collects in the joints and pro-
duces the aches and stiffness which
always accompany the disease. Like
wise the muscles are coated and lose
their elasticity, while the continual
irritation to the nerves produces swell
ing and Inflammation of the flesh.
