WHAT ITS WARNING TEACHES

WHAT ITS WARNING TEACHES
The sad case above outlined, about
which the papers said so much, Is only
one of thousands which terminate Sc
riously. Most men and many women
think they are well until some sudden
thing reveals their danger. "They have
been skating on thin,ice." Feelings are
no criterion of health. Many men feel
well up TO the day of their death, ana
then die suddenly.
There is a great lesson here: watch,
guard your health in time. Slight symp-
toms require care-apparent health Is
deceptive. You can assist nature. not
unduly, but by such pure and helpful
friend as Paine's Celery Compound.
This great medicine is becoming one of
the grandest aids to the health of the
present century. Thousands have found
it such. Here is what one says:
Il have used Paine's Celery Com
pound for nervous prOstration and
stomach trouble. l have never taken
anything that helped me so much. Use
my name, if you wish, so that others
may be benefited as have BEEN" Mrs.
G. A. Noble, 10 Hollis Street, Boston,
March -, 1891
When men and women, well-known in
the community, say, as so many have
said, that they owe their health wholly
to this great discovery, does it not prove
its surprising value? When women
who were once weak are now bright and
healthy, and men who could not work
are today as strong as ever in their lives
before, does it not show what this grand
Compound can do? If you feel weak,
run down or nervous, it is your duty to
trv ir. and at once.

FREDERICKSBURG ALTON.
Instead of Obedience. Charlton
Sends q Defiance.

CHICAGO, June 22.-Chairman Finlay
IS out with another letter to General
Passenger Agent Charlton, of the Chi
cago 81 Alton, repeating the order to
withdraw the round trip excursion rates
between Kansas City and Chicago and
between Kansas City and st. Louis. So
far from complying with the request, it
is more than probable that the Alton
will make'a still further reduction in
these rates. In his reply to the chair
man, Mr.. Charlton fatty refuses to obey
the order, and once more vigorously
defines the position of his company.
He makes the statement that he is in
possession of facts which warrant re-
duction. and which will make it
necessary for his road promptly to put
into effect oDeway rate of S10between
Kansas City and Chicago, and So from
Chicago to st. Louis. This action is
rendered necessary, he says, by the ac-
ton of the competitors of the Chicago 81
Alton, who are practically making
their mileage and excursion tickets good
to bearer without observing the regula-
tions making them non-transferable.
An additional reason for the proposed
reduction, as set forth by Mr.. Charlton,
is that tickets sold in the territory in
which the Alton is boycotted are being
used for the express purpose of being
scalped in Chicago, and that the round
trip tickets of the Rock Island and the
Chicago. st. Paul d Kansas City be-
tween Kansas City and Chicago are be-
ing manifested to cut the rate one way.
Chairman Finley has called meeting
for tomorrow to hear arguments on the
questions to be brought up. Whatever
his ruling may be, the Chicago & Alton
people claim that he Will be compelled
to make the proposed reductions in self
defense, as the market is stocked with
the tickets of their competitors. who are
reaping harvest at their expense, and
evidently relying too much on the for
bearance of the Alton.
1t is rumored that IN consequence of
the attitude of the boycOtting roads in
Castle Garden, the Chicago & Alton has
decided to make contracts with foreign
steamer lines for period of five or
more years for emigrant business. The
rates on which these contracts are to
be based will not exceed Sc from
Chicago to Kansas City, and So from
st. Louis to Kansas City. This indi-
Gates that the Alton is determined to
force matters to all issue. After the
contracts are made the Eastern roads
will find il too late to repair the damage
by abandoning the boycott. The only
way to avert this threatened complied
ton is to make peace at once. A meet
Ing OF the board of rulings is to be held
in New York this week, and this will
be one OF the subjects considered. 1t is
freely predicted here that the boycott
will be declared off. An effort to make
it effective has failed. Strong pressure
has recently been brought to bear upon
the Grand Trunk to induce it to apply
the boycott in its main line. 1t has re-
fused, and at the same time has thrown
out hint to the board of rulings that it
might use this refusal as an excuse fol-
abandoning the fight, which the Grand
Trunk at least is heartily tired of.
