Some unfriendly comment has been
made "a the papers upon the recent order
of the Wisconsin railroad managers re-
quiring people to buy tickets before they
enter the cars,-and an occasional min
compoop has cssayed to be witty in regard
to raising conductors salaries We see
no occasion for finding fault with the or
der,-nor is it any new thing. 1t is rule
which has been in force on some eastern
roads for years. No one can enter train
of cars in New York without showing a
ticket And in our own C. RI. &P. depot,
in Chicago, this has been the rule for years,
There is no occasion for ceusure because
railroad companies will not carry people
without knowing whether they can or will
pay for their rides or not,-any more than
there is for censuring a newspaper for re.
quiring pay in advance Nor should idle
loaiers or curiosity-seekers be permitted tC
range at will through trains at all
The Immediate cause for this order is
the new railroad law in Wisconsin fxins
passenger fares at uniform rate of three
cents a mile. The railroads deny thu
right of the Legislature to fix the rates a
all and, prefeiing to be defendants in suits
have resolved TO carry no one who does no
pay the usual fare. Those who decline tc
do this are excluded from the trains anC
can bring suits for damages and thus ties
the constitutionality OF the late Legislation
on the subject.

nrspensia4 Dyspepsia, pxsnensia /,

Dyspepsia is the most perpieXing of all
human ailments. Its symptoms are al
most infinite in their variety, and the for
lorn and Respondent victims Of the disease
often fancy themselves the prey, in turn, of
every known ulalady. This is due, in part.
to the close sympathy which exists between
the stomach and the Drain, and in part al
so to the fact that any disturbance Of the
digestive functions necessarily disorders the
liver the bowels and the nervous system,
and effects, to some extent, the quality Of
the blood.
f. L. Kunkel's Bitter Wine of Iron is
sure cure. This is not new prepare
ton, to be tried and found wanting it has
been prescribed daily for many years in
the practice of eminent physicians with
unparalleled success it is not expected or
intended to cure all the diseases to which
the human family is subject, but is war
ranted to cure Dyspepsia in its most obsti-
nate form Kunkefs Bitter Wine of Iron
never fails to cure symptoms of Dyspepsia
or loss of appetite, wind and rising OF the
food, dryness Of the mouth, heartburn, dis
tension of the stomach and bowels, consti-
patton, headache, dizziness, sleeplessness
and low spirits. Try the great remedy
and be convinced OF its merits. Get the
genuine. Take only kunkeFs. which is
put only in 81 bottles. Depot, 259 North

by THE ARGUS last year, to remove the

lost two teeth, and was showed through
