WIDOWS PLEA.

Wants $4,000 for an Eye and a Wedding
Broken Up.
1t is hard enough-though often right
for railway companies TO pay the numer-
GUS claims for direct damages to indi-
viduals charged TO their account, but
when it comes to damages indirectly re-
sulting from railway operation, the
possible responsibility of carriers seems
appallingly large. A dispatch from st.
Joseph, Mo-, gives the following sug-
gestive example of the latter class of
claims: Mrs. Catherine Bailey to-day
filed suit against the Atchison, Topeka
and Santa Fe railway company for $50, -
600. Two months ago Mrs. Bailey was q
handsome widow thirty three years of
age and engaged TO be married. One
day she went to a picnic, and while re-
turning her carriage was struck by q
train. She was thrown out and lost the
sight of one eye, and was disfgured so
that her betrothed left her and refuses to
marry her.
If the unfortunate lady received her
bodily injuries as the result of any care
lessness On the part of representatives Of
the railway the company will of course
have to pay damages and the jury will
not be likely to fix them very low. But
when it comes to max ing claim for losses
assumed to result from the giving up OF
q prospective marriage q very difficult
element is introduced into the considera-
ton. 1t is possible, for instance, that
the proposed marriage would have been
q failure if carried out, and SO the acct
dent may have prevented a calamity
still worse. How can the jury make an
award for q claim based on so many con-
impossible TO be foreseen? 1t
will be interesting to see the result of
this remarkable suit.

Protection from the disease, not a medicinal
agent which merely checks the paroxysms, is
the grand desideratum wherever the endemic
scourge Of malaria prevails. Quinins does not
afford this protection. The chief reason why
Hostettsr's Stomach Bitters has won such i'm
mense popularity is, that it prepares the sys-
tenn to resist the malarial pest. This 1t does By
bracing and toning the physical organism; reg
ulating and promoting equal flow and dis
tribution Of the animal fluids, and establishing
digestion on a sound basis. Not only is fever
and ague prevented but the worst types of the
disease conquered by it. Such is the only
conclusion to be drawn from the overwhelming
evidence in its favor. 1t is equally eficacious
in dyspepsia, constipation, liver complaint

Heading OH scaIpers.

KA-,s As CITY, Mo-, Sept. 8.-The
Kansas City, Fort Scott and Memphis
railroad has issued harvest excursion
tickets to points in its territory at half d
cent mile going and one-half cent mile
returning. The rule heretofore with
these harvest tickets has been to issue
at three cents a mile for the round trip.
If the purchaser of the ticket located at
his point of destination he would sell the
return coupon. This gave the scelpers a
harvest on this class of tickets. To pre-
vent scalping the Memphis route has is
sued tickets at one half cent mile going
and gives the purchaser the privilege of
buying q return ticket at the same rate if
he does not locate. ALI other lines which
run these harvest excursions will doubt
less adopt the Memphis plan,
