HE recent war between the Atchison and Burlington for the mall haul
between Chicago and Kansas City recalls an event about the middle or .
the last century lliat "excited li.terest from ocean to ocean. The line I
now used bv the Burliuctou from St Joseph to Uaunlbal was com
pleted In 18o9, and was known as the Hannibal and St Joseph llallroad. Be
fore the track had time to get "soliu me managers were u.mi u m-y
could transport the malt from the Mississippi to the Missouri utver ami
there connect with the "Pony Express" In a certain fixed time. They said
they didn't know, but that they'd die trying.
L. L. Coleman was yard master at Jiaeon. uat ne saw 01 iue great
run against time he describes thus In the Kansas City Times:
"In those days all engines were wood burners. On that day I was at
Macon Cltv with uiv wood sawlugoutfit There were about 2.1WX) cords of
wood piled four ranks deep and eight feet high on the railroad bank oppo
site the malu street of the town. me late ti. f. Bennett, station ageiu.
handed me a telegram from the fuel agent to wood the tender of the fast
mall engine In less than no time. I got the exact measurement of a loco
motive tender and erected 'a platform to that height. I then put every
possible man that could find standing room on the platform, each one with
an arm full of selected wood. A large crowd congregated to witness the
loading of the tender. Way down the line we saw the smoke rolling out
of the big balloonlike stack and a great cheer went up from a thousand
throats.
."Yonder she comes! Ain't she a cuttln' it?
"The engine came in, steam hissing from a dozen places and safety valve
snorting grandly. The woodmen stepped over, emptied their arms, the engi
neer whistled and the train was off with a roar and clatter. The stop was
Just fifteen seconds by my watch. I had Just bad time to look Into the
car and see the occupants clutching their seats with both hands to prevent
being spilled over the floor.
"The engine was the 'Missouri,' Addison Clark, engineer. The coach was
then the finest one on the road. Men hunting a smoking car would now turn
up their noses at It. The officials on board were President Joshua Gentry,
who was 'elegantly' attired In a homemade suit of blue Jeans, and on his
coat were velvet cuffs; Superintendent J. T. K. Hayward, Assistant Super
intendent O. N. Cutler and Jack Harris, holding the proud position of con
ductor. "I thought the train would most certainly be ditched before reaching
St. Joseph If It continued at that reckless" rate of speed, but by some miracle
It kept the track and the precious mall pouches were delivered within four
minutes after arriving at St. Joseph on the west '.bank of the river to
William Cody (Buffalo BUI), who carried them by ten-mile relays of ponies,
under whip and spur, across the plains and mountains to San Francisco.

f HICAGO la planning a new system of subways, by means of whloti
the greater part of the street car traction, traffic, and telegraph and tele
phone wires are to be placed underground. Already eighteen miles of one
of these subways, built In connection with , the plant to give Chicago an
automatic telephone system. Is finished, and plans for the completion of the
system are now maturing. It Is proposed to construct tunnels wnicn wiij
furnish an Improved system of rapid transit; a separate tunnel connec.ing
with the basements of stores and Warehouses along the route, through which
freight will be sent to all parts of the city, and which will also carry tele
Dhone wires, cables, etc., together with additional smaller galleries and
' conduits for the carrying of pneumatic tubes and electric and water mains.
It Is also proposed to provide within the subway region a modera and Im
proved system of high and low leyel sewers. ,
A novel and useful feature will be the provision or faculties ror tne
laying of electric wires and cables from wlthki the tunnels, and not, as
now, from the street The cables, on rollers, are placed on cars and lowered
to the tunnel through shafts on private property, and are then carried
through the conduits and laid upon racks. This method will remove any
necessity for Interfering with public traffic on the street levels. The whole
plan, as outlined, means that In the near future the streets of Chicago will
be used only for pleasure-driving, witnout tne interference or heavy truck
ing and of the obstructions now necessary In repairing underground wires
and mains. A part of the street railway system will, however, be kept on
the -treet level. ,

Bating Ulcers.
Nothing is a source of no much trouble as an old sore or ulcer, partial
larly when located upon the lower extremities where the circulation is weak
and slueeish. A eanzrenous eati&tr ulcer upon the leer is a. frightful sight,
and as the poison burrows deeper and deeper into the tissue beneath and the
sore continues to spread, one can almost see the flesh melting away and feel
the strength going out with the sickening discharges. Great running sores

such sores are not cancerous, a great many are, and this should make you
suspicious of all chronic, slow-healing ulcers and sores, particularly if can
cer runs in your family. Face sores are common and cause the greatest
annoyance because they are so per
sistent and unsightly and detract so
much from one's personal appearance.
Middle aged and old people and
those whose blood is contaminated and
tainted with the germs and poison of
malaria or some previous sickness, are
the chief sufferers from chronic sores
' and ulcers. While the blood remains in
an unhealthy, polluted condition heal
ing is impossible, and the sore will
continue to grow and spread in spite of
washes and salves or any superficial or
surface treatment, for the sore is but
the outward sign of some constitu
tional disorder, a bad condition of
the blood and system which local
remedies cannot cure. A blood purifier
