steamship line to bring the products
of the orient to Topolobampo and
thence across Mexico Into the United
States, his Kansas City, Mexico S
Orient railroad to carry the products
of America and Mexico to that same
port for shipment to the orient.
Arthur Stillwell saw the beginning
of that dream, hut not Its transforms
tlon Into actuality. He did built a
part of It. Beginning at Wichita,
Kas., he built southwest to Alpine,
Tex., and several hundred miles o(
line were constructed In Mexico. But
the Kansas City, Mexico A Orient rail
road may be described ss beginning
nowhera and running to the same
place.
A few days ago th# Kansas City.
Mexico A Orient railroad was sold
under foreclosure to Cliff Histed,
general counsel of the Chicago, Rock
Island A Pacific. This fact, coupled
with the fact that President Gorman
of the Rock Island and W. T. Kemper
of Kansas City, formerly receiver of
the ‘'Orient," have Just made an in
spection trip over the "Orient” line,
Is of tremendous Importance to Oma
ha and the entire west.
A study of the map shown In this
issue of The Omaha Bee tells the
story.
While It Is true that Mr. Stilwell
made a traffic agreement with the
Missouri Pacific to permit "Orient"
trains to run from Wichita to Kansas
City, it is even more true that should
the Rock Island take over the
"Orient" It would find It eaay to
make the connection through Omaha.
Easily Accomplished.
The main line west of the Rock
Island is from Chicago to Omaha,
thence on to Denver. By making a
trackage agreement with the Union
Pacific between Lincoln and Man
hattan then building a few miles
from Manhattan to Alta Vista, the
Chicago-Omaha-Denver line would he
within 1,400 miles of Topolobampo,
Mexico, upon the gulf of California,
admittedly one of the great natural
harbors of the world.
The "Orient” is already completed
from Wichita to Alpine, Tex., a dis
tance of 735 miles. From Alpine to
t'hihuahua, Mexico, is 249 miles, and
there ha* been some construction
work on this distance.
From Chihuahua, the line is com
pleted to Sanchez, 196 miles, although
the service has been somewhat ir
regular. From Sanchee to Los
Hornlllos, 196 miles, th# road Is under
construction. The line from Topolo
hampo to Fuerte, 60 miles northeast,
i* already built and operated. Com
pletion of the work now under con
struction, the filling in of a few short
gaps, and a trackage agreement with
the Union Paciflo from Lincoln to
Manhattan, and the Rock Island
would have the shortest as well as
one of the best lines to the Pacific
i oast, with the advantage of a magni
ficent Pacific harbor.
The Rock Island has a line to Kan
sas City that could also be used in
honking up a Chicago-CogSt con
nection. but it is not as favorable a
route as the one via Omaha and Lin
coln, as suggested.
Because of its entry Into El Psifo
via the El Paso A Southwestern, the
Hoik Island would he In a strong
1 osition to handle southwestern busi
ness.
Map Show* Gaps.
The map clearly shows the short
gaps that need only to he filled to
give the Rock Island a short line
from ''hicago to the Pacific, via Oma
ha. AVhat such a direct connection
would mean to Omaha Is hard to
comprehend because of its immense
possibilities.
It would open up immense markets
and at the same time develop terri
tory that would ship largely of raw
materials to Omaha and the north
west for manufacture into finished
products. Especially wbuld it have
a tremendous influence towards the
greater expansion of Omaha * gigan
tic livestock market.
Shortening distance*, eliminating
curves and lowering grades are the
things sought for most by railroad
engineers. The new Rock Island sys
tem docs all three. It shortens the
k distance between Omaha and the
^ Pacific coast. It avoids the sweeping
curves necessitated because of moun
tainous conditions, and It eliminate*
the hard and costly climb over the
continental divide and other mountain
ranges that now stand between the
central west and the Paelflc coast. <
Truly this is the greatest railroad
plan schemed out in a generation. It
Is bringing true Arthur Stilwell'*
dream. It ia inlerealing to recall th*
story of Stilwell'* dream. It wss not
only a dream of empire, but every
mile of right-of-way on the "Orient”
was horn of dreams. Arthur Stil
well Is a. convinced spiritualist.
He believes In direct communication
with spirits of th# world on the other
side.
In a recent addreea In New York.
Mr Stilwell told a large audience of
hi* experiences In laying out the
Orient." “Spirits” showed him the
way, he said and aa a result, he de
clares the right of way was found
and the line built without the usual
long, tedious hunting and surveying
needed to find the best route.
For years the "Orient" has been
nothing but a dream, now comes the
Hock Island and plana to link It up
and build It into a great railroad
system. Arthur Stilwell'* arrest
dream Is coming true.

Asking for National
Holiday.
By A. R. GROH.
This is Mothers' day, devoted
throughout this country and many
other lands, to the memory of the
mothers who have gone and special
devotion to the mothers who still
live.
Omaha pastors will preach on the
subject, Omaha men and women will
wear flowers In honor of their
mothers, sons and daughters, away
from home will make special pilgrim
ages to the old fireside.
Mothers will be treated to all sorts
of attenlons by their children. For
this one day, at least, their virtues,
patience, kindness and devotion w-ill
get the attention they deserve.
It is not generally known that
former Senator Burkett of Nebraska,
on May 8, 1908, introduced a reso
lution in the United States senate to
make it a national holiday. This was
the year after Miss Anna Jarvis of
Philadelphia had started the day by
inviting a friend to spend the second
Sunday of May with her to com
memorate the anniversary of her
mother'a death.
Miss Jarvis began to work then to
dedicate the day to the memory of
all mothers. She wrote Innumerable
letters to statesmen, philanthropists,
teachers, clergymen, authors and edi
tors, at her own expense.
The movement spread with great
rapidity until today it is observed
everywhere in this country aa well
as in many of the lands across the
seas.
The love of a mother aa celebrated
In song and atory will be read and
recited In numerous public gather
lngs. It has been voiced by Kipling
in his famous poem:
"If I were honged on th# highest >111,
Moth*' o* mine. O mother <>' mins'

"If I were drowned In the deepest **a,

Say Signals (dearer.
Urbana, 111., May 10.—Radio trans
mission without carrier waves has
been successfully d»ir.on*t rated by
Station WltM of the University of
Illinois, and further experiments may
revolutionize broadcasting and re
ceiving, according to acientists con
nected with the institution.
Tests have brought responses from
all over the United States that signals
came in "loud and clear.”
Under the present principle of
"r
broadcasting, the carrier wave, con
stantly going nut. conveys all manner
of sounds and only the modulation
intensity of the sound frequency and
the action of the detector tube or
crystal in stripping the modulation
frequency of Its carrier wave to more
or less degree enables the particular
voice or music frequency to be heard
at the receiving end.' Often the modu
lation frequency Is not stripped of
foreign frequencies borne on the rar
rier wave, auch as static and "strays,”
and these, too, become audible sounds.
By means of the new device only
the modulated frequencies of voice
or music are broadcast, and these,
according to the college scientists, are
devoid of the carrier wave tendency
to pick up extraneous frequencies.
Sending efficiency is increased;
tuning is made more selective at the
receiving station because of the
sharper decrement; Inning out the sta
■T
tlon at the receiving end la easier, as
a result of the new method, It Is
claimed. Much greater distance may
be covered than possible at present,
the scientists assert.

\
This Will Make Digestion Easy
VTTHAT the dyspeptic needs is
W not soda and charcoal and
breath perfumes but a medicine
that will help his bowels to move
regularly, for dyspepsia and con
stipation are allied. If you will
take Dr. Caldwell'a Syrup Pepsin
systematically as the directions on
the package call for you will soon
digest your food properly and pass
it out normally, and heartburn,
belching, dizziness, nervousness
and bloating will vanish. In time
you can dispense with all medi
cines as Syrup Pepsin will have
exercised the intestinal and stom
ach muscles so they set for them
selves. Mr. Lewis F. Sehultx of
Reasnor, Is., Mrs. Victor Knodler of
3615 Bank St., Louisville, K y., and
hosts of others will verify this.
World Acclaims Success
Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepin is
the prescription of a well-known
physician of that name who prac
tised successfully for 47 years.
It has been on the market thirty
coated tongue, offensive breath,
headaches and such ailments
that indicate deranged stomach
and bowels. Many serious dis
eases are prevented by this
timely aid.
Formula Plainly Stated |
Have no hesitancy giving Dr.
Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin to any
one young or old. It is a mild,
gentle laxative free from nar
cotics. It will not cramp or gripe.
The formula is on the package, a
compound of Egyptian senna
with pepsin and simple aromatics.
A bottle can be had at anv drug
store and averages less than a
cent a dose. Economical for fam
ilies and fully guaranteed. You
will find it a great improvement
in taste and action over castor
