Denver. April S.-The house by a
vote of 35 ayes to 80 noes. has passed
the Moffatt tunnel bill. The measure
now goes to the senate for action.
The bill authorizes the state to is
sue bonds to the amount of 100000
to be used in the construction of a
tunnel through the Rocky mountain
range at James Peak.
The tunnel will be used by the Den
yer Northwestern and Pacific rail-

road is to put up bond guaranteeing
the state against loss. A commission

they to name two others is provided
for, the commission to have charge of
the arrangements for building the tun-
mel. The provision most sharply
fought was that in which the road
guarantees to build either to Salt Lake
of Dotsero, a point on the Denver and
Rio Grande. This latter provision it
was contended meant that the road
would never be constructed to Salt
Lake. but would be build to Dotsero
and form part of the Denver and Rio
Granda system.

COFFEE HEART
Very Plain in Some People.

A great many people go on suffering
from annoying ailments for a long time

to give up the indulgence from which
their trouble arises.
A gentleman in Brooklyn describes
his experience, as follows:
Il became satisfied some months ago
that l owed the palpitation of the heart
from which I suffered almost daily, to
the use of coffee. Il had been a coffee
drinker for 80 years. but 1 found it very
hard to give up the beverage
"One day ran across a very sensible
and straightforward presentation of the
claims of Postum. and was so Impressed
thereby that l concluded to give it a
trial.

and Badly Hurt.

and Badly Hurt.
Kiowa, Kan, April 8.-Frank Smith,
oldest son of Mrs. N. J. Smith. whose
home is five miles southwest of Kiowa,
was run over and seriously injured by
the Missouri Pacific passenger train
coming east from Hardtner, and is
now here receiving medical care.
The accident happened at the Mis-
souri, Pacific crossing south of the Hall
place, southwest of the city. The train
coming from Hardtner was due at the
crossing when Frank Smith. on a mo-
torcycle. approached the crossing from
the south at a high rate of speed.
As he reached the track the train
was upon him and the collision, with
its terrible consequences was I'M
avoidable. Frank jumped from the
machine and a moment later the train
had passed over him. The train was
stopped as quickly as possible and the
trainmen and passengers went back to
pick up the injured man.
The right leg above the foot was
crushed to a pulp, the foot being al
most severed from the member. The
left leg is badly crushed just below
the knee cap. There are bruises on
the left temple, but of little conse-
quence in comparison with the other
injuries.

PLANS FOR U. p. DOUBLE TRACK.
Preparations Are Under Way to Begin
tho Work

New York, April S..-Plans for the
double tracking of the Hartman sys-
tenn from the Missouri river to the
Pacific, recently authorized by the di-
parationa are under way to begin the
work.
This announcement was made by
Julius kruttschnitt, vice president
and director of maintenance and OPP
Grafton of the Union Pacific and
Southern Pacific roads.
1.-The work will begin at a number
of places at the same time said Mr..
kruttSchnitt. Zone stretch will be
from Benicia, California, to Sacra-
mento, about 60 miles. About the
heaviest traffic on the southern Paci-
fic goes over this piece of track. Fill
ing this gap will give a double track
from San Francisco to ColfaX. The
facilities of the ferry at Benicia also
will be doubled to accommodate the
increased traffic.
Another stretch will be at the end
of the Salt Lake cutoff. In connection
with it there will be some changes of
the line and reduction of grades,
which will improve the train loading
on the Central Pacific. We shall
build a low grade line up the noun
tain and use the present high grade
line for the down traffic.
1.-THE Union Pacific will be double
tracked from Julesburg, Colorado,
west about 100 miles and from Ogden
to Pennington, Utah. 1t is already
double tracked from Pennington to
Salt Lake.
Orders have been placed for 10000
tons of rail for the Hartman lines
but this Mr.. Kruttschnitt explained
was for maintenance. The order for
rails for the double tracking will come
some time in the summer after the
grading and other preliminary work
has been well advanced.

effort to increase its mail business from
Chicago and the east to the southwest,
and in this connection has changed the
starting point of its westbound early

Kansas City to the Grand avenue sta
ton, three miles away. AS a result, it
is declared, the Missouri Pacific finds it
difficult to transfer mail handled by it
from st. Louis and the east to the

predicting that eastern mail will be
routed through Chicago and over the

Sapulpa, June 1.-THE finding Of
the body Of a Mexican named AlleJo,
on the Frisco right-of-way late this
afternoon, ON the oklahoma city line,
four miles west of here, has un-
earthed something of a mystery
When found, the body of the Mex
lean was drilled with a gaping bullet
wound In the region OF kis heart.
The body OF AlleJo was discovered
dead by two tramps
1t Is said that the Mexican left
Sapulpa this afternoon with large
amount of money on his person, in
tending to work his way to his home
in Mexico.
Just before the body was found,
the Mexican was seen in company
with two men, a white and "A negro.
These are missing and 1t Is thought
that If the two can be found the clue
to the mystery viii have been solved,
The authorities are hunting high and
low for the pair.
The two iramps who found the
body Of Allejo are being held as wit
ness and 1t may be that there Is
some connection between these anc
