Disastrous Failure !

We can mention no failure more disastrous
than that of physical energy. Itinvolves the
partial suspension of the digestive and as
similative processes, and entails the retire
ment from business of the liver and kid
neys. Only through the good offices of Hos
letters Stomach Bitters can the restoration
of its former vigorous status be hoped for.
When this aid has been secured, a resump-
ton of activity in the stomach, liver and
bowels may be relied upon. The Bitters
conquers malaria and kidney troubles.

relates to their admission to the

that disabled ex-Confederate sol

The proposed resolution has stirred

GREAT RAILWAY CHANGES.
The Very Latest Move on the Chess
board of the Railway Kings.

CHICAGO, Oct. l4.-The Tribune
says: Ever since the famous
traffic contract made between the
Union Pacific and Chicago and
Northwestern railroads, whereby
the former secured the right to
dictate through rates from the
west to Chicago and the latter
through rates from Chicago to
points on the Union Pacific west of
Omaha, rumors have been curren t
that the Vanderbilts would sooner
or later secure full control OF the
Union Pacific property. The plan
for the organization of the Union
Pacific is now in course Of
preparation, and the prelimi-
nary steps already taken, in
dictate beyond a doubt that when
the Union Pacific gets out Of the
hands of the receivers 1t will be
controlled and operated by the Chi
cago and Northwestern, which Is
one of the Vanderbilt roads. The
reorganization committee, which
has just been announced, has
among its members Chauncey M.
Depew, president Of the New York
Central, and Marvin Hugitt, presi-
dent of the Chicago and North
western. 1t is believed the Wander.
bilts now hold the majority
of the Union Pacific securi-
ties. A deal is said to have
been made between George
Gould and the Vanderbilts where
by the former will be given control
Of the Kansas Pacific, which is to
be operated by the Missouri
Pacific, while the latter will take
the main line OF Union Pacific
from Omaha west and make it
part Of the Chicago and North
western system. With the Union
Pacific in control Of the Chicago
and Northwestern, the latter will
have a direct independent line
from Chicago to Ogden and Salt
Lake with a branch to Denver.
Should the Vanderbilts also be
able to keep the Oregon Short line
in the Union Pacific they will
have Independent lines from
New York through to Portland,
but the most startling rumor which
lately gained currency, is that the
Vanderbilts look still further than
the acquisition of the Union Pa.
cific and Oregon Short Line; their
great object being said to be the
control of line to San Francisco
and it is said they are now ne
gotiating with G. P. Huntington
with a view to securing control Of
the Central Pacific branch OF the
SouShern Pacific.
