ticket to save a few congressman does
not worry w. c. Lansdon, Democrat

confident the state committee will

Lansdon spent Sunday in Topeka.
He spent most of the time in Demo-

CLEAN UP ON CAS-
Receiver LandOn VIII Ask the
Federal Court
To Cover All Pending Litiga-
ton in One Case.

Kansas City, Oct. 9.-Attorneys for
the Kansas Natural Gas company
have received word from United
States Circuit Judge Sanborn of St.
Paul, that in all probability United
States District Judge Wilbur F.
Booth of Minneapolis. will preside at
the hearing involving the gas company
which will be held in Kansas City
Kan, next Wednesday. 1t is believed
by many local attorneys that this will
be the most important court event
that has ever occurred in this part of
the country. If the attorneys for all
the defendants are here, Kansas City
for the next few days will take on the
aspects of an Interstate bar associa-
ton meeting.
AT this hearing Receiver John NJ
Landon of the Kansas Natural Gas
company, thru his attorneys John H.
Atwood, Robert Stone and Chester l.
Long, will ask the federal court for
leave to file a supplemental bill of
complaint setting out the matters and
things done and performed. by the
various parties interested since June
j, 1916, and by which it is sought to
restrain and enjoin any interference
with Mr.. Landon in the PRONUNCIATION
and installation of rates to be paid for
natural gas and in the conduct of the
business carried on by him as re-
ce1Ver. He will also ask for a hearing
upon all of the undisposed of mat
tiers now pending in the case and for
final hearing on all the matters and
things embodied in the various suits
pending, and that each and all of the
defendants be restrained and enjoined
from litigating in any other than this
federal court any of the matters pre-
sented, jurisdiction of such matters
and all parties thereto having been
reserved on
also will ask for a permanent restrain
ing order.
This hearing is of unusual interest
not only because of the vast property
interests involved, amounting to more
than 100000, but also because it
is likely that the whole controversy
regarding natural gas rates in the
cities served by the Kansas Natural
Gas company Will hinge upon the de-
cision of Judge Booth. Judge Booth
is thoroly conversant with the whole
gas situation, as he was one of the
three judges who sat in the various
federal hearings.
The purpose of the hearing reduced
to plain terms is to establish the final
authority of Mr.. Landon to make new
rates, free from interference from
state or municipal officials In this
case John NJ. Landon, receiver for the
Kansas Natural Gas company, is
plaintiff. and there are ninety-four
defendants, all of whom presumably
will be represented by attorneys who
will be in Kansas City this week.

ACUTE AND CHRONIC
RHEUMATISM

The exact cause of rheumatism is IN.
known. though 1t is generally believed to
be due to an excess of uric acid IN the blood.
1t may be also said with equal truth that no
remedy has been found which is specific
in all cases. In fact the literature of rheu-
matism shows that there are but few drugs
which have not been given a trial. In the
hands OF one observer we find that Q certain
faction: others have found the same remedy
to be q great disappointment. All physi-
clans however agree that every method OF
treatment is aided by the administration of
some remedy to relieve the pain and quiet
the nervous system and DIR. w. g. Schultze
expresses the opinion of thousands of prac-
tttioners when he says that anti-kamnie
tablets should be given preference over all
other remedies for the relief of the pain in
all forms of rheumatism. These tablets can
be purchased in any quantity. They are
also unsurpassed in headaches, neuralgias
and all pain. Ask for AK Tablets.

FIXING BAD SPOTS IN ROADS
Temporary Expedients for Making
Them Passabie--Should Be En-
pIoyed Only in Emergencies.

From Weekly News Letter. United States
Department of Agricultural
Temporary repairs to roads are, or
at least should be, confined to emer-
gency measures. In proportion to the
results obtained, temporary work is al
ways expensive and is never Justlhed
by ordinary conditions. Unusual con-
ditions, however, often occur to plague
the road man. For example, the clos
ing of a main highway to traffic BE-
cause of construction, repair or wash
outs may suddenly throw heavy traf-
fic for a short time on little-used and
probably unimproved byway. Clearly,
in such a case temporary expedients
are legitimate.
The most common troubles met with
in a case of this kind are mudholes
and ruts if the soil is heavy, and dust
and loose sand if the soil Is light or
sandy.
On clay or gumbo road mudholes
usually cause the most trouble. AS
water is absolutely necessary for the
existence Of a mudhole, any treatment,
whether temporary or permanent IN
character, must provide for getting rid
of the water. The first step is, there
fore, to dig a trench to the side and
allow the water and mud to drain. If
necessary, open up also the side
bitches. Furthermore, remove all OF
the soft mud left in the mudhole. The
bottom of the trench should be filled
with broken stone or coarse gravel so
as to provide a drain to prevent any
further accumulation Of water. Gravel
is the best material for filling the old
mudhole If gravel is not available,
use the best earth at hand, tamping it
down in three or four-inch layers. II
possible, spread little gravel or sand
over the new fill, which should be
made slightly higher than the adjoin-
ing road surface. The best treatment
of all, however, is to keep the drain
age in good condition. Serious mud
holes will then rarely develop.
Don't try to fill a mudhole without
first draining out the water and re-
moving the soft mud. Don't try to fill
it with large stones, because if this is
done there will soon be two mudholes
instead of one. Don't try to fill mud
hole with sods or similar material
| which absorb water readily.
On an earth or gravel road ruts are
best treated with the drag. Don't be
afraid of dragging too often during a
rainy spell. If a thin coat of sand or
gravel be spread over the road sur
face when it has been softened by rain
and then worked in by traffic and a
liberal use of the drag, poor earth
road can be much improved and made
to carry a surprisingly heavy traffic
| for a short time.
In contrast to the clay or gumbo
road, the sand road gives least trouble
