When locomotives were first built

up and down the newly and rudely con-
structei railways of England the pub
lie roads were for the greatest part
crossed at grade and the engine driver
had no way of giving warning OF his
approach except by blowing a tin
horn. But this, as may be imagined.

Eighty dozen OF eggs and fifty pounds
OF butter were smashed into an indis-

The railway company had to pay the
farmer the value Of his fifty pounds Of
butter, his $50 eggs, his horse and his
wagon. It was regarded as very seri-

Few women have had a more mis-
cradle existence and lived to ten the
tale than Mrs. Anna i. Smith OF III
Pulaski Avenue. Brooklyn. With all
the comforts that money affords, with
all the happiness that many loving
friends can give. the joy Of Mrs.
Smiths life was blasted for years by
the terrible ravages OF sickness. The
story Is most interesting as told to .
reporter:
II was an invalid for years, suffering
first with one complaint and then with
another. The thing which caused mo
the most discomfort and made me Of
fensive to my family was the worst
case Of indigestion imaginable. I had
the best physician We could find. and
occasionally his prescriptions relieved
me temporarily. But the pains and
misery would all soon return again.
I became desperate. and started In to
try remedies Of which / read. Among
them were the Pink Pills. I took the
pills and followed out the direc-
tons to the letter, and before
many days began to feel like differ
ent woman. For six weeks l took the
pills regularly, and I can truthfully
add after that I was as well any one
in the family. This change for the bet
ter in my condition has caused my
relatives and friends to take the pills.
We buy them from the drug store OF
John Duryea. at the corner of Dekalb
and Summer Avenues
II assure you it was impossible for
me to oversee my household for three
years. Now visit my kitchen every
day, do my own marketing and shop
ping; in a word. look after everything
connected with my home and family.
"Oh. yes, I still keep taking the pills.
I take one daily after dinner. Proven
ton, you know. is better and cheaper
than cure. I verify believe one half
of the women who are suffering from
the ills which our sex are heir to would
be I'D and we'll If they could be in
duced to give the Pink Pills fair trial.
I certainly recommend them heartily
and and feel grateful to the physician
who put them on the market"
Mrs Smith Is a woman OF some
means and standing in the community
and, therefore, her testimony will be
accepted without question by all
thoughtful people.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills contain all
the elements necessary to give new life
and richness to the blood and restore
shattered nerves. They may be had
of all druggists or direct by mail from
the DR.. Williams Med. Co., Schenecta-
dy, N. Y, at SO cents per box. or six

TARRED WITH ONE STICK.
(COlfax GaZette.)

The last issue of the Pullman
HERALD con oained an article from
G. P. Cannon, populist justice of
the peace at Pullman, recently con-
victed of assault and battery, he
previously having tried two young
men for the offense of which he
was himself guilty. He used the
same stick with which he has been
tarred, to smirch J, w. Mathews,
who first prosecuted ihe young men
for the assault, and then prosecuted
and 3nvicted Cannon of that of
fense. According to Cannon, he
told Mathews a few minutes after
he had assaulted Griffith of his ac-
ton, and yet the next day when he
issued the warrants for the arrest
of two young men for that offense,
Mathews acquiesced, and acted as
prosecutor, not divulging his (Gam-
mon's) guilt until he (Gammon)
and Mathews had conducted a farce
of a trial for two days at the ex-
pense of the people and to the dis
grace of both men. Cannon feels
that since he is regarded as contem-
ptible, Mathews should also be,
characterizing him as Matthews,
the attorney who betrays his eli
ents' secrets" If Gammon's state
ments are to be accepted as true,
both of them deserve to be depos-
tied prematurely in the ash hop
per.
