PACIFIC PAY THEIR TAXES
The Durlington and Missouri
Pacific paid their taxes to the
county treasurer today. The Dur
lington paid over the sum of $23,
387.C3, while, the Missouri Pacific
paid $17,083. fit. The Missouri
Pacific protested the payment of
$241.98 of their payment, which
goevS to the (school fund of the city
of Weeping Water, claiming that
the city exceeded their legal levy.
The law allows cities of 1,500
population or over to levy up to
35 mills and the railroad company
claims that the city of Weeping
Water does not possess that num
ber of inhabitants and therefore
was not entitled to make the levy.

Old Disease.
It is usually very difficult, and,
in some cases, impossible to cure
obi or chronic diseases. In the
treatment of chronic dyspepsia or
indigestion the first duty of the
physician is to thoroughly clean
out the stomach and I be in
testines. The same should be
donn in the home treatment, for
which we wish to recommend
Triner's American Elixir of Hitter
Wino. This remedy will not only
clean out the digestive organs,
but will, at. the same time,
strengthen them to such an extent
that the worn out organs will
again be capable of their work.
Those suffering from partial or
total loss of appetite, constipa
tion, wind colic, pains in the
bowels, headache, should at once
try Triner's American Flixir of
Hitter Wine. At drug stores. Jos.

Service Which is Measured
in Seconds!
Telephone fervice is the only kind of which this is
true. A patron waits minutes for a street car, an of
fice boy, a messenger, or a waiter. He waits min
utes, also at his bank, at the department store coun
ter, or at the theatre ticket window. He waits all
day for merchandise to be delivered, or for mechanics
to answer emergency calls. He must wait till next
day for the delivery of a letter or a ton of coal. But
the Telephone Service is good and prompt when
judged by much higher standards.
The average time in which our operators answer
subscribers is four seconds, which is practically in
stantaneous service.
From that time, till the patron is actually in
conversation with the desired party, there will be sel
dom an intorval of more than thirty seconds, most of
which is taken up by the man called in reaching his
telephone.
Service which is courteous and accurate, and is
measured in seconds, is unique in its usefulness to
the business man.
Don't allow your competitors to make better use
of it then you do.

The strangest thing about the dis

Major Ferguson, lu driving the first
piles for the cofferdam, found the top
or me turrec snorn or an rivets lo
feet from the place It occupied on the
ship. When the water and mud were
removed and the ship's bottom was re
vealed the barletto was found near the
ship's side, twenty-five feet aft of Its
position on the vessel, and overturned.
This led to the natural belief that the
turret with the guns was under the
barbette In the mud.
The turret must have been blown
forward with the guns. Why It should
be thrown forward and sink without
overturning, while the barbette was
thrown aft and overturned, Is a prob

CJTY OF SAL0IWKI
HAS NOTABLE HISTORY.
Tuish Stronghold Famous In Ancisnt
and Modern Days.
Among the European strongholds of
Turkey Salonikl. which was recently
captured by the Greeks, has always
been conspicuous ou account of Its
strategic position at the head of the
gulf of Snloniki. It Is 140 miles south
by west of Sofia, and Is the capital of
theivllayet which includes the districts
of Snlouikt, Serres, Drama and Moigs
tir. The city has been described us
one of the most picturesque In Eu
rope, its houses rising lu terraces from
the flat shore to a height crowned by
the seven towered citadel and surround
ed by ancient walls and towers. The
view from the gulf, with the towers
and minarets souring ubove the mass
of buildings. Is said to be unique
among coastline horizons.
Remains of former civilization have
long made Salonikl famous. Within
the city's walls Is the so called trium
phal urcli of Constantino, Las Incan
tadas, an entrance to a long destroyed
hippodrome, sections of two Roniiin
highways paved with lava, and two
massive Roman gateways.
There are several churches (uow
mosques) of the enrly Christian civili
zation, whose decorations, still well
preserved, make tliem important In the
history of Byzantine architecture. The-
principal of these are known to nil
erected by Justinian's architect, An
themlus, and It was turned into a
mosque lu 1589. Its casings of white
marble have been copied in several re
cent examples of Byzantine architec
ture. The prosperity of the city, achieved
principally through maritime com
merce, is so great that It ranks second
only to Constantinople as a Turkish
seaport The splendid harbor Is pro
tected by a breakwater 1,800 feet long.
The Austro-IIungarlan railway system
affords easy access by land with the
rich valleys lying toward Belgrade.
Adrlanople, Sofia and Constantinople.
The speech of the city Is known as
"Ladlno," a corrupted form of SpanLsh
Introduced by the exiled Spanish Jews,
who comprise more than half of the
city's population.
Under the name of "Thessalonlca"
the town was a place of great Impor
tance to the Romans, and It Is famous
In connection with the early history of
Christianity because of Paul's Epistles
to the Thessalonliius.
In 300 A. D. Salonikl wns the scene
of a dreadful massacre perpetrated by
the command of Theodosius after the
city hod become a defense of the an
cient civilization against barbaric In
roads. Constantlne repaired Its port.
The Slavonic trills strove vainly to
take the city throughout, the seventh
century. In the ninth century Simeon'
of Bulgaria cauio against It because of
an effort to tronsfer the whole of the
Bulgarian trade to its port. Ia 004 the
Saracens took the place by storm and
sold as slaves 22,000 of Its inhabitant.
In 1185 the .Normans laid a ten day
siege to the city, which ended In lt
capture by assault and the perpetra
tion of nameless barbarities. In 187i
the French and German consuls at
Salonikl were murdered by tho Turk
ish populace.
