TRAIN DE LUXE
 MAKES FIRST RUN

The De Luxe train of the Santa Fe, west bound, passed through Ninslow for the first time. Con- ductor Geo H. Thomas came with the train from Albuquerque. Engineer Chas. Me Cauley with Engine No. 142l. fireman Si La prade, being on the head end. MT. Vim Daze, travelling engineer of the second district. also rode the engine. The train was run on a special schedule, time card being disrrgarded for this occasion. Westward bound from Winsl1w the tIdln Was In Gauge O. ,c veteran conductor, P. D. Wright and it may be said in passing that "Pete" as he IS known a. mong all railroaders, was on the j b and waiting Engineer Ira Hays and fireman C. Simmons took care of the locomotive, Geo. K. Anderson, travelling engineer, going. along to See that every thing worked smoothly. The new train went over the Albuquerque division on time, much credit be- ing gwen to the local officials for their landing ot this train. Every one of them from Mir. Gibson Su perintendent, down to Chief Dis patcher Woods and his efficient corps of train dispatchers, felt much pride in their handling of the train de Luxe with its high class travel. Rumor says that the.e were thirty one officials on the train when it left Chicago but they must have dropped off >omewhere east of here for the reason that the Albuquerque Di- vision is well supplied with a competent set of officials.
 The train is made up of the la. test and best equipment available from the Pullman Company and is surely marvel in the way of good service. Every man work ing on the Santa Fe feels special pride in the new train and each one is doing his utmost to see that the service is what it should be.
 This traiu is madeup of -four" pullman sleeping cars, one being an observation car, a diner, and a combination baggage and but let car. This, with the present high power engines used on the Albuquerque division enables the train to make an average of 5l miles per hour over the division.

Stock Market

Kansas City Stock Yards, Dec. II, 1911. Slim receipts of cattle at all the markets last week allowed salesmen to get the whip hand, and prices closed the week 25 to 40 cents higher all around. It was ignred that the good market would draw out fair run this week, and so it has. The supply here today is 15000 head, and some of the gloom accumulated last week has dis appeared. Beef grades are off little, prices called steady to 10 lower, and stockers and feeders are a shade lower Some Xmas yearlings sold at $9.15 here today, and heavy steers reached $S.60, but the offerings of top grades was limited, and not up to the show of that kind expected tomorrow. Middle class natives sell at $500 to $7 50, and warmed up westerns at $5.50 to $6.50. There is liberal offering of Oil Mill cattle in the quarantine division to - day, 54 loads in all, which sold around steady, at $4.SO to $5 50, for steers weigh ing S50tb to lU30. Some corn fed qua rantine steers weighing 1127fb sold at $6.50 here to day. Some medium qua rantine COWS sold at $365 to $4.l5, and some heifers at $4 25 A far run from Colorado came in, and sold at the high est prices of rhe year, beef steers st $5 co tu $5.80, COWS at $50 to $5 %, stockers and feeders at $500 to $5.60. The coun, try sbsorbs the receipts of stockers and feeders at the prevailing high prices, taking out eleven thousand head from here last week without making a cent in the market. Almost any kind of a steer costs five dollars or more, and stock heifers and COWS bring $3.35 to $4 25, feeding bulls $3.50 to $4.O0.
 The hog market is a see - saw affair and there was small net change in pri ces last week, though prices were uI and down every day. The run to - day is 13,OO0 head, and eighty thousand came in last week. A great deal of ligh stuff keeps coming, and the eighty thousand last week did not represen more pounds of pork than sixty thou sand of the kind that were coming { year ago, but only forty thousand heaC actually arrived same week last year The market is to 10 lower to day, tol $6 271S, bulk of sales $5.75 to $6 25. All the markets are running in practically lhe same groove as far as prices art concerned, with Omaha and St. Joseph little behind, margins in favor of St Louis and Chicago having been wiped out.
 Sheep and lambs made gains las week, but closed the week with failin. strength The run is 5000 to- day, mar ket steady 10 weak, top lambs $500 Choice lam bs reached $6.25 last week and whoever has some prime stuff car count on getting a good price for it otherwise dealers say keep it at home Top yearlings bring $500 wethers $4.00 ewes s co. Every week sees dealer; raise their estimate of the relative mum Der of sheep and lambs on feed as com pared with last year, until now the. say that in the entire field almost a many are on feed as year ago.

A SOUL HOSPITAL:
 REFUGE FROM SIN
Bishop QuayIe of Chicago Plans a Great Institution Where Per- sons Diseased With Sin May
 Be Treated

Chicago, July i9-A soul hos pital" or refuge will be permanent ly established in Chicago or near the Methodist camp meeting ground at Des Plaines, 1t was announced today. The new hospital will be for patients unable to live a chris tian life because of temptations that beset them in their daily life in Chicago.
 "The wickedness of most great cities is of the passive kind, reach- ing ever downward for lack of up- lifting" said Bishop w. A. Quayle, one of the leaders. 'The wicked ness of Chicago is aggressive, virile and ingenious. It plans campaign of wickedness with satanic delib- eration."
 Bishop 0uayle declared the time has come when the American peo- pie should prepare for the final battle to get the upper hand of evil by establishing a hospital to treat sin.
 such a hospital as we plan" he commented, "can be made as suc- cessful as any of our great insti- tutions and, although it sounds new, there is nothing radical or freakish about it.
 There will be no lack of pa- tients among girls and boys who are suffering from temptations such as gambling, questionable cafes and other places that make them sick at heart and soul. If they had n fever or any other physical ailment they would have a palce to go to get well. But for spiritual illness there is no refuge.
 ITO be good in Chicago is to be lonesome. If these patients had a spiritual hospital they would be saved. We will minister in the hos pital by prayer, kindness and en- eonragement ia ia right iiSSihit living"

Honest Medicine Versus FaIses.

President TaftS recent message suggesting an amendment to the Pure Food and Drugs law in the relation to Prepared Medicines. does not refer to such standard medi- cines as Foley's Honey and Tar Compound and Foley Kidney Pills, both of which are true medicines carefully compounded of ingredi- ents whose medicinal qualities are recognized hy the medical ;;r;SSfff1sS- sion itself as the best known rem edial agents for the diseases they are intended to counteract. For over three decades Foley's Honey and Tar Compound has been stan dard remedy for coughs, colds and aections of the throat, chest and lungs, for children and grown up persons. and it retains today it's pre-eminence above all other prep arations of it's kind. Foley Kidney Pills are equally effective and me- ritorious. Sold by all druggists.

FOODINSPECTOR DE- TENDS HIS ACTION
Employment of Dr. Rusby Comes Under Same Ruling As That
 of the Remsen Board Com
 posed of Noted Professors.

Washington, July 20.-Dr. Harvey W. Wiley, chief of the bureau of chemistry of the Department of Agriculture, has sent to Secretary Wilson, it is said, a defense" in which he refused to plead guilty Ito the charge of having even tech nically violated the statute regu- lating the salaries of experts. The intimation is abroad that if there is to be any reprimand from presi- dent Taft, Doctor Wiley will insist that it be passed along to the per- sons who established the precedent under which he acted in the Rush. by case.
 It is said Doctor Wiley has taken the position that in arranging for the payment of Doctor Rushby for expert services, he acted under the precedent established when the rul- ing was made that stretched the statute to cover the creation of the Remsen board, and the payment of salaries and the disbursement of the immense expenses incurred by that board. Friends of Doctor Wiley say Secretary Wilson knew of the arrangements with Doctor Rushby from the beginning.
 There was no authority of law for creating such a board, unless the section relating to hiring ex- ports could be made to cover such a board. Solicitor McCabe, of the department of Agriculture, decided there was sufficient authority. The department of justice, called to choose between two conflicting op- inions, accepted that of McCabe. Now if McCabe opinion was right, and if the Remsen board was not il- legal, then the action of Wiley in hiring Rushby at $i,600 a year was sustained by exactly the same req soning.
 The five members of the Remsen board were paid se000 a year for such expert services as should be called for. They have been serving nearly three years and have hand led two cases referred to them. They are still on the pay roll. of 5000 a year each. The members of the Remsen board are: Dr. Ira Remsen of John Hopkins, chairman: Dr. Russell Chittcnden of Sheffield Scientific School, Yale; Dr. J. H. Long of Northwestern University, Dr. A. E. Taylor of the University of Pennsylvania, Dr. Theobal Smith of Harvard.

HAPPILY MARRIED
 FOR 76 YEARS
Old Missouri Couple Celebrate An niversary--EIoped From Tenncs- see Home in fS35-Ilow They
 Lived Successfully and Happy.

n Humansville, Mo-, July 20.- Sev- cnty-six years ago Atha G. Hudson, 9 years old. and his flancee, i5, ran away from the brides home to Baptist parsonage i2 miles below Nashville Tenn, and were married. Yesterday MT. Hudson, almost 9S years old, and his wife, 90 celebrat- ed their wedding anniversary here. The bride of 76 years ago left a rich southern home to marry a travelling saddle maker and was disinherited by her father in con- sequence, but sitting on the front porch of her quiet little home here yesterday she told a visitor that she had never regretted that runaway match for minute. The seventy six years have been years of happi- ness for the Hudsons.
 A Contract Not to Quarrel.
 A quaint contract was made by the Hudsons shorty lafter they were married. It's object was to prevent both of them ever becom- ing angry at the same time, which ever one, husband or wife, felt his or her temper rising to the boiling point, was to give high sign, and the placid one was to "forbear' and continue placid, making allow ance for anything said or done in a fit of irritation. That way hus- band and wife have lived together with scarcely over a real quarrel.
 In 1850 Mir. Hudson came to Ce- dar county, Missouri, where he bought a farm. So provincial a community was Missouri in those days that the man who sold him the farm refused to accept paper money in payment, and MT. Hudson was forced to have his currency changed into silver and gold before he could make the deal.
 Saving the Family Fortune.
 When the Civil war broke out the Hudsons abandoned their farm and went by wagon to Sedalia. They
 
 had $A,000 in money and it was not safe to carry that amount around loose in those turbulent times. So Mir. Hudson hid the money in bar rel of soft soap. Soap was the one thing that nobody they met wanted to steal, and Mir. and Mrs. Hudson reached Sedalia safely. Here they lived for number of years. Mir. Hudson went back to his old busi- ness of harness making and had a store in Sedalia for seven years. Then he moved to Humansville, where he set up a similar estab- lishmenL He sold his business fourteen years ago and retired
 The secret of long life, according 10 MT. Hudson, who will be 9S next November, is to smile and feel kind ly toward everyone.
 And when anybody asks you how you are. say you're we'll and happy" he added. Sixty-three years ago the old man prophesied he would live to be 100 years old. Today he still maintains the pro- phesy is going to come true.

Had Some Conversations.

Aldrich said he had three or four conversations with Hines about the Illinois election, but could not re- call on whose initiative these oc- cured.
 Hines said Aldrich, "said at the first conversation that in his judg- ment Hopkins could not be elected and asked me what the attitude of the president was. I said, 'presi- dent Taft desires the election of a Republican, and is naturally friend ly to Hopkins because of the pri- mary result and perhaps for other reasons. Still, he did not intend to take any active part in trying to in- fluence the election of Hopkins or any other candidate.'
 The next conversation, Aldrich said, was about May 20. Hines then told me" said Aldrich, that it was impossible to agree on Bou- tell, and that he believed there was a possibility of agreeing on Lori mer. He was anxious to know the attitude of the president toward Lorimer. Later in the day I told him Lorimer's candidacy would be objectionable to the president"

He recently refused an offer to go back to the Majors" at $500 a month, and when 1t is stated that he received S70,500 for his years services in the religious work it shows q good reason for his refusal, even if he was not concerned in the moral value of his services.
 While the sum of money made is large, yet when figured out, it is only paying about S2.00 each for the converts Sunday has gained.

ALDRICH BEFORE
 LORIMER COMMITTEE
Former United States Senator De- lends Taft, Denying That the President Was Interested in
 Lorimer's Election.

Washington, July 20.-Former United States Senator Aldrich flat ly eontradicted at today's Lorimer investigation the story told by Ed ward Hines of Chicago that Aldrich asked him to urge Lorimer to be- come a senatorial candidate and had sent word to Governor Den- cen that President Taft had ex- pressed a belief that Lorimer could be elected and was the most avail able man.
 Aldrich, once head of the power ful senate finance committee and dominant factor in the senate, was the first witness today. Hines testi- fled that Aldrich sent for him about May i, 1909, to ask about the possi- bility of the Illinois legislature el- ecting a senator; that eventually, after repeated conferences, Aldrich had asked him to urge Lorimer to become a senatorial candidate and that after night conference at the White House, Aldrich had returned home, where Hines was waiting, and told Hines to inform Governor Deneen that the administration was anxious to have the senate vacancy filled and believed Lorimer could be alacfad
