strength and vitality is sapped away by
catarrhal discharges from the pelvic
organs. These women get up In the
morning tired, drag themselves through
their daily duties tired, only to go to
bed at night as tired as before.

Agreeable symptoms at once. 1t begins

This evening the Legislators elect of
the Black Hills will arrive in Hot
Springs over the Elkhorn. The object
of their visit here is to ascertain the
needs and requirements ofthe soldiers
home in order that they may act in
diligently in the matter of appropri-
ations when they take their seats at
the coming session of the legislature.
They have already visited the other
public institutions in the Hills for this
purpose, thus evincing a desire on the
part of our law makers to treat the
several institutions of the Hills with
justice; to provide ample means for
their maintenance and to lop off any
unnecessary appendages. The gentle
men composing this party should be
entertained by our city and be given
every opportunity to learn the needs of
the home and the opportunity for i'm
provement there.

Judge Gardner has granted a perma-
nent injunction restraining the city
from collecting the River avenue spec
ial assessment tax. Warrants were
issued to the amount of something like
$4,000, upon the special assessessment
fund of that avenue, in payment for
the grading of the street. The question
now arises, will the city have to pay
these warrants {? or, must the innocent
purchasers lose what they invested in
them? The decision was based upon
the ground, principally, that there was
an insufficient number of property
holders along said street that signed
the petition asking for the grading to
be done.

washington, Dec 2O.-The conference
held ait the treasury department be-
tween Secretary Carlisle and Chairman

banking and currency relative to
amending the Carlisle bill now before
The house. The subject was gone over
fully. and as a result Of the talk
Springer lwlll propose a number OF
amendments designed to remove some
If the objections advanced against the
the bill. One objection is that under
Section Z some banks may be permitted
to take out a circulation Of 80 per cent
Of their capital stock, while the bill
limits THE circulation to rs per cent of
the capbtal stock. This would be rem.
edded by requiring the excess to be re,
turned by deposit of green backs un.
Ter the existing provisions of the law.
The time in which the banks will be re.
uuired to comply with The new law may
be extended for two years The house
nay fix by amendment the time to a
more remote date The bill will be
made clear that THE bill holders of the
national hanks will be protected during
the time the old banks are conforming
to the new law. Another amendment
will provide that the government win
receive old notes for internal revenue
taxes and cancel them and issue notes
under the new law. 1t Is possible that
.hese and other amendments that the
Democratic majority Of the banking
commattee may agree upon may be
embraced in a substitute which can be
presented before the five minute debate
begins The conference did not bring
out any consideration of the three inn
portant amendmsnes which have been
apreg on the floor Of the house, viz;
The Issue of bonds to retire outstanding
yreenbacks; elimination Of state banks
links and limiting of banks liability
for losses ito other banks to one per cent

MAMMOTH ELECTRIC ENGINE.
Designed to Do Shifting and Other
Heavy Work.

Heavy Work.
The loo horse power electric locomotive
row beirg constructed in this country Is
described in The Electrical Engineer As
follows:
The engine is invented for switching pur-
poses and slow-speed freight traffic. 1t is
carried on a steel frame supported by eight
coupled wheels. each ifty-six inches in
diameter. Each axle carries the armature
Of 25O-horse power motor. whilst the held
magnets are supported by the axle boxes.
The armatures in question are thirty-one
inches in diameter, and have ri coils.
They are compound wound. and are de-
signed to take a current Of go amperes at
500 volts, their normal speed being rs rev.
olutions per minute. The four motors,
when working at their maximum power,
are expected to exert an effective pull Of
0OO0 pounds on the drawbar, and hence
the engine will be able to start very
heavy train.
The connections to the motors are made
through a contact cylinder. which permits
all in series or partly in series and partly
in parallel. In changing over from one
arrangement Of contacts to another. re-
sistances are first thrown In, the change IL
switched out again. This contact cylinder.
being Of large dimensions, Is operated by air
pressure. though hand gear is also fitted.
The air Is taken from the brake tanks.
which are kept charged by an automatic
electric pump. The reversing switch Is
separate from but interloeked with the con-
tact cylinder. In such a way that 1t can only
be operated when the current il cut on from
the motors. Provision IL made for two troll
leys above the car. to collect the current
from the line. The total weight of the mo-
tor will be 10000 pounds. 30 that IL draw
bar pull Of $4,000 pounds is expected. an ad-
hesion Of one-fourth will be required To
insure as high an adhesion as possible, the
coupling rods between the wheels are dou-
ble-jointed. and eQualizing beams are used
between the springs supporting the frame
Of the car. The total wheel base IL fifteen
feet only. leaving only four inches clearance
between the wheels. The outer wheels only
are Hanged.

1t is manifestly impossible to secure alb

upon balance She contrives to maintain a
harmony between material and spiritual.

Moravian are noted for thrift. and mystics
are not always the worst managers
Through all changes of condition and ex-

the world Of fact. and the taxgatherers OF
both are punctual
There is as much poetry as ever in the
world II we only knew how to find 1t out;
and as much imagination, perhaps. only
that 1t takes a more prosaic direction
Every man who meets with misfortune
who is stripped of material prosperity, finds
that he has a little outlying mountain

in the schedule of his effects, on which his
spirit is able to keep itself alive. though he
never thought of 1t while he was fortunate
