Racing Railway Trains.

Tho bridge junction" is a point above
East ST. Louis where the Wabash, Big
Four and Alton roads strike the terminal
tracks. From the junction to the relay
depot all trains of the three roads run on
the same track, and as the roads named
run parallel and close together for several
miles north exciting races sometimes &C.
cur, as two or more trains occasionally ap-
proach the junction at about tho same
time. The early morning incoming trains
on each road are scheduled to arrive at the
junction within a few minutes of each
other 1t often happens that two of them
pass the Merchants bridge close together,
and then there is n race to the junction,
as the first one to reach it gets the track
to the relay depot 1t is said that the
rivalry between the engineers sometimes
prompts them to put on full head OF
steam and carry their trains along at the
rate of 70 miles an hour. Very few acct
dents occur at the junction, but it is
claimed that nearly all that do happen are
caused by the racing of trains-St. Louis

ITS WONDERFUL EFFICACY.

NEWSPAPERS ADMIT DIR. DAVID KEN
NEDY's FAvORITE REMEDY is ALL IT
Is CLAIMED.
The intense interest taken in the al.
most miraculous cures made by DR.. Ken
nedy's Favorite Remedy, at Athens, n.
Y, and other places, resulted in the AL
bany, n. Y, Journal sending special
representative to Athens to investigate
the cases, and it was found that many of
the cures made by this medicine were
simply wonderful.
In the cases of Mr.. Lewis Glow, who
had chronic kidney disease, Mrs. Casper
Brooks, suffering from female troubles
and kidney disease, and Mrs. VIM. Tiff.
fanny, who suffered from general prostra-
ton, all of these cases were abandoned
by their attending physicians. DR..
Kennedy's FavOrite Remedy was then
used by them and in every case an abso-
lutte cure was effected.
Mr.. +. G. Bartholomew, Kalkaska,
Mich, writes: "Dr. David Kennedy's
Favorite Remedy saved my life when |
was victim of Bright's disease"
II had been troubled since 1862
writes 5. n. Arnold of Rochester, n. Y,
with gravel and catarrh of the bladder.
Tried several doctors but got no relief.
Finally used DR.. David Kennedy's Fa.
vorite Remedy. The result was marvel

Much Like Bennington.

Brattleboro pridCs herself that she has
less drunkenness than any town of equal
size in the country.
This is largely due to the character OF
the people. and the character of the PEG.
pie is lal gely owing to the foresight OF
the late Deacon Jacob Estey.
He was a remarkably shrewd, far.
sighted man, and when he laid the foun.
dation of the great industry which bears
his name, he looked into the future.
From the start he was careful that the
men employed by him should be not
only good workmen, but men of sobrie,
ty and character as well.
He recognized that men who own their
own homes are far less liable to strikes,
take more active interest in the town
when they are taxpayers, and all told,
make far better citizens than men who
have nothing at stake'in the community
in which they live but the wages they
receive.
For THAI reason Deacon Estey by all
means in his power encouraged and as
sisted his men to own homes of their
own. The result is that other manufac-
turers followed his example and to-day
a majority of the residents Brattle boro
own their own homes.
Naturally they take deep interest in
the schools and churches, aud for this or
some other reason Bratteboro is known
all over the section as very public spir'
tied.
There is not a saloon or dive in the
town. OF course under the Vermont
laws there could be no open liquor sell
ing, but there is not in the town a single
disreputable place where liquor is sold
from the hip pocket.
To be sure in the summer many of the
citizens who enjoy a glass of cool lager
wander over the river to the "bTewer
les" and there quench their thirst.
TIL Sc places have been frequently
raided, but they still remain under cover
of the New Hampshire ws, but in
truth in can be said that they are con-
Quoted on pretty decent lines.
1t does not follow from this that the
people of BrattebOro are "drys," not by
any manner of means. There are many
fine wine cellars in town, and they are
not all empty, by any means. Hospital
ity with a little stimuaut is open band
ed in BrattleborO, but it is among friends
and acquaintances.-Su Globe.
