Sigourney played good billiards in spots only, and seem ed to weaken at critical moments. On several occasions luck seemed decidedly against him when he had the balls in position for a good run and he failed of several easy shots. Conklin played the more consistent rame of the two, and kept well in the lead throughout the contest. Following is the score of the game: Conklin Total 300; high run 31, average S 44-46.

As the plants which are combined with the figs in the manufacture of Syrup of Figs are known to physicians to act most beneficially upon the system, the remedy has met with their general approval as a family laxative, a fact well worth considering in making purchases. It is because of the fact that SYRUP OP FIGS is a remedy of known quality and excellence, and approved by physicians that has led to its use by so many millions of well informed people, who would not use any remedy of uncertain quality or inferior reputation. Every family should have a bottle of the genuine on hand at all times, to use when a laxative remedy is required. Please to remember that the genuine Syrup of Figs is for sale in bottles of one size reputable druggists, and that full name of the California Fig Syrup Go., is plainly printed on every package.

Germany, Euro pean authority on skin diseases, says that dandruff is as contagious as any other malevolent disease, and that one common source of the spread of dandruff is the use of the same hair brush by different per sons. The way to avoid catching dandruff or any other disease from another's brush is to insist on the use of Kewbro's Herpi cirie. It not only kills the dandruff germ, but it is also an antiseptic that will pre vent the catching of any disease whatever through contagion ot another's brush. Sold by ' leading druggists.

Superintendents and Master Mechanics to Co-operate. Gossip and Matters of Interest in Kailway Circles. George Austin has been appointed general boiler inspector of the Santa Fe system, by Alfred Lovell, superin tendent of machinery of the Santa Fe system. Mr. Austin was formerly division foreman at Arkansas City, and for the past two years he has been in charge of the class of work which he will here after superintend. Mr. Austin has not had the title of the position until the appointment which has just been an nounced which gives Mr. Austin juris diction over all lines Of the system. All mechanical superintendents, sup erintendents of shops, and division master mechanics of the Santa Fe sys tem are instructed to co-operate with Mr. Austin in carrying out all orders which Mr. Austin may make. Mr. Austin's work wHl be to super intend the washing, and the care and repair of the boilers of both stationary and locomotive engines of the Santa Fe. Great harm may be done to boil ers by lack of care in washing them, and to insufficient care In the repair work.

Mr. Austin has been engaged in this work for about two years, but hereto fore his jurisdiction has not been so large nor his authority so broad as It will be hereafter. His work ha3 been found to b2 so valuable to the railroad company that he has been given the ti tle 'of general boiler inspector with in creased authority.

The advance guard of the Kilnatrick Bros. & Col lins railroad grading outfit has ar rived at Onaga. It filled twenty-six cars. Besides machinery they brought torty-three horses and mules and nearly 100 men. The big steam shovel and two dummy engines, similar to those used on suburban street rail ways, are in the outfit. The younger Kilpatriclc and his private secretary are here. There has been no delay in getting to work. The stock was unloaded and shod all round, two sections oi track was built upon which to move the steam shovel; the two dummy en gines were unloaded about three miles east of here where they will be used in handling the 90-ton shovels and other heavy material. The tents and material for bunks and eating houses will be taken to the vicinity of Bartlett's place. The houses, or "shacks," as the men call them, are all framed and ready to set up. Those in charge state that it will be possibly three weeks before they get correctly straightened out and ready for grading proper. Work will be commenced at the Bartlett hill and proceed both ways. We are informed that the same activity is being displayed at the Me noken end of the line. Both Ayers and Mary, the Union Pacific right of way men, are buying land from the east side of the county westward. The commissioners ap pointed bv the court, Messrs. Morris, O'Meara and Herr, have been out for three days, appraising the land in volved in estates, of which there is considerable, and fixing the value where the railroad and owner cannot agree. They expect to be able to finish by next Tuesday. Cash is being paid where settlements are made. The Onaga proposition is now before the head officials of the road and a favorable reply is expected from them every day. Thev are to pass upon the final agreements as to what Onaga shall have for her Sio.uuu. wora from Omaha indicates that the road will give Onaga the advantages that were outlined by Mr. McAllaster. It is not probable that anything will be done with Onaga right of way until this matter is settled. The activity, expenditure of money and labor, all point to a speedy piece of railroad building from Topeka to Onaga. and the people are all well pleased. Erie Distributes Handsome Presents. Harry Donaldson, Sam Larimer, Charles' Seagraves and Wm.

The Erie company intended to have them readv for distribution last Christmas, but they were not completed in time. Rush to Southwest. Chicago, Feb. 11. There is to be a rush of people into the south and southwest if the inquiries now being received Ijv the western railroads re garding "homeseekers' excursions" signify much. One mail in a single railway office has contained over a hundred letters, all asking about soil and climate and other things that go to make up life in the rural districts. The movement is not confined to the southwest, but southern states like Alabama and Mississippi are receiving a great deal of attention. On one line alone 4S7 passengers, with homeseek ers' ticketB have left for the south west in Alabama. Reports to the of ficials indicate that many of these peo ple will remain in the south perma nently as they have made locations. Vast tracts of land in southwestern Kansas, which have been devoted Many Women Would Preserve Beauty hnd Were Promptly Used. MISS JAR ATI Miss Sarah Schiller, 1401 McEldery Baltimore, Md., writes : " I am pleased to endorse Peruna, as I took it about a year ago, and it soon brought relief from a cold on the lungs which threatened to be serious. "My lungs were sore and inflamed,- I coughed a couple of hours every night, and I felt that something must be done to heal up my lungs and rid me ot this cough which dis turbed my rest and was running me down. " Peruna was suggested by some of my friepds and acting upon their advice, I tried it, and found that it was able to bring about a speedy cure.. You have my highest endorse ment and thanka for the good it did me." Both health and beauty are threat ened in all cases of chronic catarrh. No one can expect to have good health so long as their vitality is sap ped away with catarrhal discharges. Facial deformities are largely a re sult of catarrh of the head and throat. Thus it is that women especially dread the ravages of catarrh. Catarrh is an insidious disease that silently steals away the vitality and gradually destroys the symmetry and beauty of the human body. Peruna will cure catarrh, no matter in what part of the system the disease may have settled. heretofore to stock, are now being de veloped for farms. Oklahoma is getting its full, share of homeseekers, while Texas is re ceiving more newcomers than for a number of years. For the present the migration to the ' British northwest seems to have come to a stop and the tide has turned to the southwest. THE "RATTLER'' A HUMMER. Paper at Wootton May Bring Town Into National Prominence. The little station of Wootton on the transcontinental line of the Santa Fe railroad in the Raton mountains, eight miles from the town of Raton, New Mexico, will come into national prom inence if the zealous editor of "The Wootton Daily Rattler" perseveres. "The Daily Rattler" is published by the agent of the Santa Fe railroad at that point. He gets it out with a type writer, and by the aid of the mimeo graph. The sheet is a hummer. The Rattles gets its telegraph news "via the Rattler's longest leased wire in the world," or perhaps it comes "via the Rattler's longest wireless w,ire in the world." If the news fails to reach the Rattler via either of the two modes already mentioned, it may come "via the Rattler's longest greased wire in th'e world," or still by the other means, "via the Rattler's hottest wire in the world." If the Rattler fails to get all the news and all the latest senations by the use of all the various kinds or wires, no doubt the editor will be able to make up for the loss by means of the "dream book " wnicn ne Keeps in a convenient place. The following is a special dispatch which was sent from Lynn, New Mex ico, to the Rattler via its longest' wire in the world: "The magnificent seven story, fire proof building which is be ing erected at the corner of Skunk avenue and Last street will be com pleted bv February 1. It will be used as a home for locoed victims, which are numerous in the vicinity." Here is another item: "Raton, N. M, Jan. 18., (via the Rattler's hottest wire in the world.) Mr. Sam Sausser has resigned his position as chaffeur for the Wells-Fargo and has left for Wootton where he has accepted the position of 'devil' for the Wootton Rattler. Sam will make a first class devil' and the Rattler is to be con gratulated." The department of "Wootton Wails Cures Colds an3 BacK-ache. Back-ache is the most distressing symptom of Grip.

Some of the "wails" follow: Mr. Rough House of Dry Gulch paid the Rattler a pleasant visit last week. "Wootton is booming as never be fore, and we are dally becoming ths metropolis of the Range. During the past week Mr. Hank Hotfoot has put a glass in his window, which is a vast improvement over the gunny sack. "Mrs. King made a flying trip to Raton today where she will purchase two bits' worth of spare ribs and ten cents' worth of saur kraut. The King familv look rather peaked since the local freight has been annulled the past two weeks and are unable to get their supplies or eatables.
