THE TOPEKA DAILY CAPITAL: SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 14, 1903. The February quarterly examination for I licenses to practicein the state has just closed and twenty new physicians were THEY PLAN; FOR MELANCHOLIA Is a Perilous Disease and One That Leads to Insanity. MORE DOCTORS GET: LICENS1 ST r2-2JSSS2M v( State Board of Health Turns Out Twenty. A NEW LAW IS ASKED FOR Secretary of the Board Should Be Empowered to Issue Temporary Licenses Proceedings of the Meeting Here. The State Board of Medical Registra- stion and Examination has a bill prepared which will be presented to the Legislature some time next week, in which they will ask that the secretary be given the power to grant temporary licenses to graduates representing reputable medical colleges, who come Into the state to practice between the regular quarterly meetings of the board, to practice until the next meeting.

Nearly all states have such a law and it is obviously needed in this state. The spring meeting of the board Is held In about the middle of February, and as almost all medical schools finish their terms shortly after, the students have to wait until the July meeting before taking the examination to secure their license. Another bill will be presented asking an appropriation for the enforcement of the registration law. This appropriation was overlooked by the Legislature when the bill was passed two years ago and the secretary, II. W.

Roby, has paid several hundred dollars out of his own pocket during the last two years in the enforcement of the lav. Ipg Women may write about their ills to Mrs. Pinkham, and avoid the, 5 questioning of a male physician. They can tell their story without Thomas Dixon, Author never breaks a confidence, and her advice is the best 0 of "The Leopard's Spots reservation to her; she in the world. The questions asked and often revolting to a of a woman by a male physician are embarrassin sensitive nature.

In consequence the whole truth is not told this makes it difficult for female troubles to be successfully treated even by the best physicians, and is the reason so many women grow worse rather than better. A woman understands a woman better than a man, there are symptoms which sick women have that a man cannot understand, simply because he is a man, but the whole truth may be told to Mrs. Pinkhani, and her vast experience enables her to give advice which leads to a cure. All women who suffer should secure Mrs. Pinkham's advice; it costs nothing but a letter addressed to her at Lynn, Mass.

Female troubles are real troubles, and must be treated understanding. For a quarter of a ceniiirf Mrs. Pinkham's advice and Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound have been helping women to get strong and well, and her great file of letters prove thst more than a million women have been restored to health and strength by Iicr advice and her medicine when all other means have failed.

He has a keenly developed sense of humor and the black tragedies which are woven into the text are forcefully depicted. After reading this volume one can understand hew Max Nordeau was prompted to say that "it has deliberately undone the work cf Harriet Beecher Stowe." The author makes no attempt at settling the "Negro question." He presents no theories.

He sim-pIy draws a vivid i I UXURIOUS LOG CABIN. picture of the conditions as they existed at the close of the civil war in the South toward the colored man. And it reads like a fair 'presentation of the case. There is small cause for wonder over the fact that the sales of this volume have passed the hundred thousand mark. Mr.

Dixon enjoys a handsome Income from the sales of his novel, and from his lectures. He is in great demand on the platform, receiving many more "applications for engagements than- he can fill. He has a most novel literary "workshop" a log cabin across the creek from "Elnv-ington." one of the most beautiful estates in Virginia, which he recently purchased, together with 500 acres once owned by Pocahontas. The "cabin" represents an outlay of $1,000. Negroes cut the logs and Mr.

A few months of each year he spends in his steam yacht, "Dixie," on the sea. i ok mi ifc ti ii ititft i tn i ii A fragrant fields of South land bloom. to Northern snows ana sieeung I send you flowers, Love' messengers, With February's greetings.

Water- rARiSE EXPENSE Railroads to Spend Money in Improvements. HOST WILL BE IN THE EAST T7estern Lines Consider Extensions and Betterments Also Santa Fe Wage Situation General Uews of Railroads. Western railroads are credited with contemplating large expenditures for improvements during the next year, as is shown by the estimates, submitted to the various boards of directors. The total amount of these estimates for all the railroad lines of the country is considerably above the $250,000,000 mark and while some of the largest expenditures will be made by eastern lines the total to be spent in the west is almost as much. More of the western lines are included in the setimate for large improvements, and while the amount to be spent by each Is smaller than the amount which the Pennsylvania, the "Baltimore Ohio, the Wabash and the Vanderbilt roads are ex-t.

pected to ose the western estimates show large in the aggregate. The terminal improvements at New York and improvements along the lines of the Pennsylvania east of Pittsburg will, according to these estimates, absorb the greater portion of the funds which that system will put into betterments. The Wabash In making its seaboard connections and building into Pittsburg must spend several millions, and these, with some important improvements outside of that general plan, will consume her share. The western transcontinental roads are expected to devote large amounts to bettering tracks and grades, shortening curves and preparing to handle traffic at less cost with greater facility. Some of the western lines, notably the Great Western, is making extensions that will require large sums.

Improvements of tracks and additions to car supply and motive power are included in the plans of most of the western reads. The scarcity of cars and lack of adequate motive power has not affected the western roads during the present winter as it has the eastern lines, the former being better supplied with both classes of equipment. Announcement has been made within the last week of the abandonment of improvement plans by two western roads. Some of the contemplated improvements doubtless will not be completed during the coming season, but the fact that so large an amount should be Included in the estimates indicates the spirit which prevails. DON'T LIKE STRIKE TALK.

Oanta Fe People Want Peaceful Wage Settlement. P. II. Morrlssey, grand master of the Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen, and A. B.

Garretson, assistant chief of the O. R. are now deep in the study of the situation regarding the wage question. When asked for a statement of the situation Mr. Garretson said yesterday: "Mr.

Morrlsssy and myself are here only to assist the men in their efforts for a final settlement of the wc ge question and we can not tell any more about, the outcome of the matter than they can tell. However, both sides must make conces-elons." When asked If there would ie a strike In case the demands were not met, he said: do not like to talk strike. We have never had occasion to strike and if things run smoothly in the future as they have in the past we probably never will have occasion to strike. Aibltration Is what we use, not strikes. We want an increase in wages and not to have to resort to strikes." The committee and officials had a conference yesterday ALTON GETS GIANT ENGINE.

ZIonster Machine Will Haul Kansas City Train. The Chicago Alton railroad has just received for use on the Kansas through trains the largest passenger locomotive ever turned out by the Baldwin works and the largest in use on western roads. As the western lines have larger engines than eastern roads this puts the jnew Alton locomotive at the head of the class of big passenger pullers. The new locomotive total weight is pounds, of which 141,700 pounds is carried on the drivers. The drive wheels, six in number, are 73 and SO inches in diameter.

The boiler diameter is 70 inches and there are 5SS tubes, 2 inches in diameter and 20 feet long. The fire box Is ICS Inches long and 72V4 inches wide, with a heating 6urfaoe 202 square feet. The total heating surface of fire box, fire box tubes and tubes 'and is 4,078 square feet. The water tank has a capacity of 8,400 gallons. With the tender loaded and the tank filled ready for work the total weight of the locomotive and tender will be 175 tons.

While there are larger locomotives in use In some parts of the country this new acquisition of the Alton is the largest used for passenger business into Chicago. A CURING. CONSUMPTION. When Scott's Emulsion makes the consumptive gain flesh it is curing his consumption. Exactly what goes on inside to make the consumptive gain weight when taking Scott Emulsion is still a mystery.

Scott's Emulsion does something to the lungs too that reduces the cough. More weight and less cough always mean that consumption is losing its influence over the system. Scott's Emulsion is a reliable help. Sd for Fre. Sample.

SCOTT EOWNE, Chnrriti. Pearl St, N. X. Paine's Celery Compound Has Saved Thousands of Melan-cholists from the Grave. Melancholy is a grave It has a tendency to induce suicide and homicide; in'man'y cases it leads to dread" insanity.

The first important symptom of, ordinary melancholy is sleeplessness. Another symptom cf the greatest importance is a dull pain In the back of the neck, extend ing to the back of the head. Then we see other symptoms, such as depression of spirits, slow mental and muscular movements, retarded speech, terrifying -hallucinations, aversion to food and a disregard of life. Every case of melancholia is directly traceable to a weakness or collapse of the nervous system. The nerve branches of the sympathetic system, the spinal column and brain, are not doing their work, and the blood is thin, sluggish or Impure.

Paine's Celery Compound is the great rescuer and life builder for every melan cholic victim. As a nerve food, this marvelous Compound quickly imparts nour-. ishment and life to the weak and famish ed nerves, after which comes a new vi- tality a feeling that life is precious and worth living. The stomach, liver, and kid- neys are toned, digestion becomes perfect, a natural appetite is bestowed, and sweet, refreshing sleep conduces to a vigorous health. Paine's Celery Compound has saved more melancholic and nervous suf- ferers than all other combined agencies, Do not treat the symptoms of melancholia with indifference.

Begin today with Paine's Celery Compound, and avoid the perils that drag to insanity and the grave. DIAMOND DYES will color any kind of cloth. The bus-band's suit and ovjrooat can be made to look like iiew. lixe color will last until the goods are worn out. Direction book and 43 dyed samples free.

John P.

Six engineers and the same number of firemen were needed. An Important invention is now being perfected in the shops here whereby the air receiving valves which have formerly been made of brass are now made of cast iron.

Tis will be a great saving, as the the labor and the material saved will be enormous and the cast iron will prove more durable than the brass. One of the B. Lantry Sons company was in the shops Wednesday with the Idea of buying an engine of the Santa Fe. The Lantry company now have six engines, which they have purchased of the Santa Fe, In use on their work in California. All of these were set up by the wornmen the shops here and they have given such good 'satisfaction that the company is back to get a seventh.

The locomotive, which in all probability! mm jjuicuase neie, will ue set Up in the shops. A number of the machinist apprentices who entered the service during the last few months Of last vear and in th fti-at of this are to come up for their examin- tions in a fe wdays. The apprentice ex-animations occur with some degree of regularity once a year. They are the means of weeding out the young men who are not making sufficiently rapid progress in mastering the machinist's trade and of promoting those who are careful and show a knowledge of the work. At the close of the four apprenticeship the young mechanic is supposed to show sufficient technical knowledge to run any machine in the shop.

The practical part of the work is picked up in the daily contact with the machine. Wichita and Return $4.62 via Santa Fe. Account grand lodge A. F. A.

The plaintiff alleges that he was employed by Ripley and was set to work as engineer during the latter part of la3t month.

INVESTIGATION OF fJTFARLAND'S CHARGES An attempt will be made by the police committee to get the investigation of the McFarland charges puiled off some time next week. George Neil, who was appointed on the investigation committee, and who has been out of town for the past two weeks, has returned and Frank Blanch will probably take the place of Mr. Howe, who has refused to serve on the committee. Mayor Parker, whom the polica committee have asked to preside, over the Investigation, will probabiy be out of town the first of the week, but If he can be back it is the intention to hold the investigation on Tuesday. The Wameo Oil Fields.

Sidney of the directors of the Marcasite Oil, Gas Mining company, passed through Topeka yesterday on his way to Holton, his home. He had with him a bottle of the oil said to have been struck in the well on the company's ground north of Wanvego. He was enthusiastic over the prospects and is confident that there is oil in abundance underlying the whole territory. The oil which he exhibited was of a dark brown eoler and Mr. Hayden said that It had been proncunced to be a fine quality of lubricating oil- i 2 Thomas Dixon, who lectures in the First Methodist church this evenir.g under the auspices of the Brotherhood of St.

Paul, on "Fools, or the School of Experience," is well known as one of the prominent lecturers of the, country, but he is better known to the general public as the author of a remarkable book, "The Leopard's Spots'," which attracted instant attention the week it came from the press, some months ago, and has been i 'c I' i i THE AUTHOR IN HIS It growing in popularity ever since. The sales now are well past the hundred thousand mark; a striking record, especially in view of the fact that it is Mr. Dixon's first novel. "The Leopard's Spots" is a story of the "white man's burden" in America, the period covered being from the close of the war, 1S65. down to 1900.

It is a story of the South, dealing with the negro question, a matter of so much moment to the people of that region. The book opens with the breaking up of armies, following Lee's surrender, and the return of the Southern soldiers to their ruined homes and desolate farms, all of them eager to take up as soon as possible the old way of life and rebuild falen fortunes. It is a first-hand story of the tryinff reconstruction period, from a' Southern standpoint. In an author's note tbone of the late editions Mr. Dixon says: "In answer to hundreds of letters I wish to state that all of the incidents used in Book 1." which is properly the prologue cf my story, were selected from authentic records, or came within my personal knowledge.

The only serious liberty I have taken with history is to tone down the facts- to make them credible in fiction." Mr. Dixon handles his subject without gloves. -There is a dramatic earnestness In his presentation of the attitude of the whites of the South toward the blacks and the vigorous methods that were adopted at the elose of the war to render impossible the curse of negro domination their great terror. The author writes largely from personal the North Carolina town known as "Hambright" In his story being the place of his birth. He brings out with vivid distinctness the irreconcilable and inherent conflict of the races, and shows the utter inrpossibility of their coaliticn and the position of the Negro in society, from the Southern viewpoint, with startling clearness.

This feature alone would make "The Leopard's Spots" a. notable book, but this Is not Its only strength. The book is cleverly written and well balanced throughout.
