START THE WATER.
Sheldon Drinking Fountain Has K"ot
Yet Been Kepaired.
The question uppermost In the minds
of a tired dusty and careworn public is
"When will the Sheldon drinking foun
tain again be put into operation."
The drinking fountain at Eighth and
Kansas avenue near the street railway
transfer station was erected last sum
mer through the kindness of Rev. Charles
M. Sheldon of the Central Congregation
al church. Its popularity was soon es
tablished. But with the coming of the;
cold winter months Mayor Drew ordered
it closed and no one has yet ordered it
put into operation again. The weather
has been very warm for the past week
and a demand is made that the proper
officials see to it that it is started.
Mayor Hughes' attention was called
to the matter and he says that he has
issued orders that the plumbers repair
the fountain and get it into operation
but the orders have not yet been carried
out.

Railroad 5len Appear Before the
Interstate Commission.
Make Statement Regarding the
Reporting of Accidents.
TO DETERMINE FORM.
Opinions Vary Regarding Yalue
of Damages to be Reported.
Other Railroad News of Local
and General Interest.
Some time ago the Interstate com
merce commission announced that it
wanted to hear from the proper rail
road officers throughout the country
representations as to the brm of re
porting railroad accidents, to be made
under the law enacted at the last session
of congress, requiring such reports to be
made.
Accordingly, last week, about twenty
railroad men, connected with this parti
cular branch of railroad work assembled
in Washington for the purpose of ap
pearing before the commission and de
termining upon some form of report.
There were a number of speakers, and
all agreed that there should be a pre
cise definition of what an accident is,
but opinions varied as to how extensive
a mishap should be to justify a report.
Xone of them thought that accidents
of less than $100 in value should ue re
ported under the law, and a majority
fixed the time of detention from work
which would justify a report in cases of
accident to an employe at five days.
Some of those present contended that
it would be unfair to require the report
ing of accidents in which the damage
is less than $250. and Mr. Merrill argued
for a general statement as sufficient ta
meet all the demands of the law. Most
of the speakers took a position against
the reporting of names of injured em
ployes or of those responsible for acci
dents, claiming that in the first instance
there might be basis for damage suits
and in the latter for blacklisting. Mr.
Gompers. president of the Federation of
Labor, advocated the mentioning of the
names of those hurt, asserting that this
could injure no one.
The hearing was concluded, but the
commissioners stated that they would
receive the written suggestions bearing
upon the subject until the close of next
week. '

ENGINEER COGGINS KILLED.
Leaned Too Far Out and Was Struck
by Mail Crane.
Engineer Vincent Coggrins of the
Santa Fe, who live3 at 222 Madison
street, was killed Saturday afternoon at
Plymouth, a small station eight miles
west of Emporia.
Engineer Coggins had just tcJd his
fireman, John Helvie, that he believed
something was running hot. He climbed
down from the seat-box and taking his
place in the gangway between the en
gine and tender, leaned out to locate
the trouble which he believed was in the
rear driving box. In a few moments
Fireman Helvie happened to glance over
to the engineer's side just in time to
see Coggin's feet disappear. He had
been struck in the head by the lower
arm of a mail crane and his skuil
crushed. Fireman Heivie at once shut
off the steam and brought the train to a
stop. Engineer Coggins was picked up
unconscious, placed in the baggage car
and taken to Emporia where a physi
cian was summoned to attend him. His
injuries were so great, however, that he
did not regain consciousness and died
after leaving Peterton.
After the accident happened conductor
George W. Scott, a former engineer and
who Was a passenger on No. 6 took
charge of the engine and brought the
train into Emporia. Engineer John
Maurice was called and relieved Scott
at that place.
The body of Engineer Coggins was
brought in on No. ti and taken to an
undertaker's rooms. There are but few
enginemen in Tcpeka who had a Dettcr
record as an engineer or a more en
viable reputation as a man than Vincent
Coggins. He had been with the Santa
Fe eighteen years, and had come to be
i if.

"What thin folks need ia flesh or muscle, cot fat
To be symmetrical and properly proportioned ever.'
person should have a certain amount of excess flesh, but to be plump does not
necessarily mean to be fat.
Pat is undesirable; it clogs and retards the action of the muscles, inter
feres with the healthy action of the heart and lungs and when very excessive,
predisposes too fatty degeneration of vital organs, to say nothing of the discom
fort resulting from too much adipose tissue.
Common sense would suggest that if one wishes to become fleshy and plump
the thing most needed would be flesh-forming food, that Is, albuminous foods
like eggs, beef, oatmeal, etc.
The kinds of food which make flesh are the foods we have on our tables
every day; but the trouble is that our stomachs, from weakness or derangement
of some kind do not promptly and properly digest it.
Really, the principal reason so many people remain thin is because their
stomachs do not properly and completely digest and assimilate the flesh forming
beefsteak and eggs we eat every day.
There are thousands of such people, and they are really dyspeptics although
they may not suffer any particular pain or inconvenience from their stomachs.
If such persons and all thin people, would take after their meals some
simple and natural digestive, like Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets the food would be
quickly digested and the proper degree of plumpness very soon result because
these tablets are prepared exactly for that purpose. They digest every variety of
flesh forming food, which is the real reason why they so quickly build up and
strengthen thin, dyspeptic men and women.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets cure every form of indigestion on this common
eense plan, that they thoroughly digest the food promptly, giving strength to every
nerve and organ in the body, and the weakened stomach a chance to rest and
recover its natural vigor. Nothing further is required to cure any stomach trouble,
except cancer of the stomach. They make thin, dyspeptic people strong, plump
and well. f
This excellent preparation is sold 50 cts. for full sized treatment by all 1
druggists in United States, Canada and Great Britian. ; ,
