The Erie Middle Intensified.

of Hugh J. Jewett in securing his reelection to
the c.. H. g. d. road has greatly intensified the
Erie muddle The full purport of the election
cannot be seen until he has outlined the policy
to be pursued towards the road from which he
has been dethroned. and which he now seems to
have within his power. There are those who
believe it means the complete disruption Of
the Erie system, but however viewed it
presents difficulties which seem incapable of
solution. That President Jewetr holds the Erie
road in impacabie enmity is we'll known For
ten years he labored to build up the great sys-
tenn, and its existence is due to his management

Father, Mother, and Three Sisters Dead.

Mr.. David C'aypool, formerly Sergeant
alarms It'll. New Jersey Senate, and now
Notary Public at Cedaryille, Cumberland
Co., N. j., makes the following startling
statement: "My father, mother, and three
sisters all died with consumption, and my
lungs were so weak raised blood Nobody
thought I could live. My work (ship-
smithing WAS very straining on me with my
weak constitution, and was rapidly going
to the grave. While in this condition /
commenced using Mishler's Herb Bitters,
and it saved my life. Because it was SO
difficult to get it in this little place, and
had improved so much, stopped taking it
for time, and the result is that | have
commenced going rapidly down hill again.
Somehow, Mishler's Herb Bitters gives
appetite and strengthens and builds me up
dozen bottles at once. Use this commu-
nication as you please, and if any one wants
to be convinced of its truth, let them write
me and | will make affidavit to it, for /
owe my life to Mishler's Herb Bitters."
The secret of the almost invariable relief
and cure of consumption, dysentery, diar-
rhea, dyspepsia Indigestion, kidney and
liver complaints, when Mishler's Herb
Bitters is used, is that it contains simple,
harmless, and yet powerful ingredients,
that act on the blood, kidneys, and liver,
and through them strengthens and invigor-
ates the whole system. Purely vegetable
in its composition; prepared by regular
physician; standard medicinal prepare
ton; endorsed by physicians and drug
gists. These are four strong points in favor
of Mishler's Herb Bitters. Mishler's Herb
Bitters is sold by all druggists. Price $1OO

SINGULAR STORY OF ADOPTION.
How the Great Granddaughter of Commo-
dore Perry Found Home.

CENTEALIA ILL.,. June Is A singular case of
adoption has just come to light here, the social
eminence and integrity of the foster parents

her sister-in-law, Mrs. Thomas Casey, of Mount

ttsleep cnatted about the proposed adoption.
When the conversation ended Mrs Casey
was electrified by a vision of childish loneliness
at her SIDE A baby girl with large brown eyes
and auburn ringlets lay there smiling and cooling
and silently supplicating for a good night kiss.
She insensibly stopped over to caress the beauti-
full vision and it vanished Being wide awake, the
incident made deep impression on ner.
Not many days later astranger appeared bear
ing little girl in his arms. He explained his
mission. He had heard of the desire of Colonel
and Mrs. Casey to adopt a child, and he had
made bold to come to them with this his only
daughter. He was anxious that she should re-
ceiye good education and all the advantages OF
cheerful home, which he felt Incompetent to
give her. Thus speaking, the stranger placed
the little on the floor Mrs. Casey, from the
moment of the strangers entrance. had been
staring fxedly at the child in his arms. The
baby had the large brown eyes, the auburn
locks. and the smiles of her vision. When re-
leased, the little one rushed fearlessly into Mrs.
Caseys outstretched arms. ''Ths is my little
child, she exclaimed rapturously. ''This is the
one want" The baby returned the kisses and
caresses, and Mrs. Casey explained the cause of
her emotion. The adopted daughter was named

pires that she is the great granddaughter OF
Commodore Oliver Perry, the illustrious hero,
who in 1873 wrote to General Harrison: "We
have met the enemy and they are ours"

Pennsylvania some severe counter blows, re-

playing with consummate SKILL but at great cost

Beats All Former Records.

The official report shows that the limited ex-
press over the Vandalia west bound, on Wednes-
day last made the run from Indianapolis to st.
Louis. 240 miles, in five hours and thirteen
minutes. Eighteen stops were made at county
seats and railroad crossings. The train-sheet
shows that the last 100 miles, where the track of
the Vandala is in the most perfect condition,
was covered in 1913 minutes, and six stops at
stations and railroad crossings were made. De
Quoting the time used in making stops allowing
two minutes for each stop the 24O miles was
run in 277 minutes. The officials of the road say
this was the fastest run made between
Indianapolis and st. Loris, and if ever equaled
has never been excelled On any road west of the
Allegheny mountains.
