Word of Warning to Travellers By the South-

Washington, Oct. 13.-The passenger department of the Southern railway has promulgated the information that through traffic between New York, Phil adelphia, Baltimore. Washington and all eastern points and Montgomery New Orleans and all intermediate points is not subject to any delay on account of quarantine regulations.

Travellers should take precaution to provide themselves with health certificates before begin ming their journey. There is no restric. ton to through travellers from the east to any state east of the Mississippi river, except in the state of Mississippi. Persons who are provided with health certificates can pass through that stats to ponts in Arkansas, Texas, etc, through Memphis, Tenn, without de- lays or restrictions, but not through Shreveport or New Orleans gateways.

Had to Meet the Cut

Chicago. Oct 13.-All of the lines be- tween Chicago and Denver nave met the reduced freight rates announced yester- day by the Burlington road. The cut rates will remain in effect until the con- plete understanding is reached with the southwestern lines on account of the cut rates made by the Mallory line via Galveston, which were the cause of the reduced rates made by tha Burlington. The reduced rates made by the Mallory line via Galveston were cutting down the business of the western roads be- tween Chicago and Denver and there was nothing for them to do but to cut the rates or see the traffic go in some other direction. The lines between Chi cago and Denver claim that they would not have been compelled to rduce rates If the roads between the gulf of Mexico and Colorado common points tad main- tained rates, but it is asserted that they were all the time cutting them and that, therefore, 1t became necessary for the Chicago Denver roads to follow their VAaiuReA -4-ss~l.LSlzi- .-.. s--,i ----.-

NOT ALWAYS UNDERSTOOD,

A fact often overlooked, or not al
ways understood, is that women suf-
fer as much from distressing kidney
and bladder troubles as the men. The
womb is situated back of and very
close to the bladder, and for that rea-
son any distress, disease or inconven-
fence manifested in the kidneys, back,
bladder or urinary passage is often, by
mistake, attributed to female weak
less or womb trouble of some sort.
The error is easily made and may
be as easily avoided by setting urine
aside for twenty-four hours; a sedi-
ment or settling is evidence chat your
kidneys and bladder need doctoring.
If you have pain or dull aching in the
back, pass water too frequently, or
scanty supply, with smarting or burn
ing-these are also convincing proofs
of kidney trouble. If you have doc
tored without benefit, try DR.. Kill
mer's Swamp-Root, the great kidney
remedy. The mild and the extraor-
binary effect will surprise you. 1t

cures. If you take a medicine you

DR.. K. V. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y,
has made a life-study of the problem
of restoring health and strength
to women. His "Favorite Prescrip-
tion'' is the most successful remedy
that has ever been known for wom-
ems peculiar ailments. It's sale ex-
ceeds the combined sales of all other
medicines for women. 1t cures the
most obstinate uterine disease. 1t
goes directly to the internal organ
ism which is the real seat of all the
troubles. 1t imparts vigor and health
where they are the most needed;
heals liberation; stops the weakening
drains; promotes regularity; restores
muscular power to the ligaments, thus
correcting displacements Of special
organs in the only natural way.
Complete information regarding
the "Favorite Prescription" and tes-
timonials from hundreds who have
used it, are embodied in DIR. Pierce's
Common Sense Medical Adviser, a
standard medical work of 10eS pages,
profusely illustrated, which will be
sent FREE on receipt of 81 one-cent
stamps to cover cost of mailing only.
This work is a complete family doctor
book and should be read by both
young and old. The profits on
the sale of $4,000 copies at s1.5O has
rendered possible this free edition.

The TramnS.

Tramps will always be with US. No
matter how much work there may be
there are those who will not work and
prefer to beg. AT the same time there
are those who are worthy of assistance
and it is hard to discriminate. An
exchange referring to this matter
editorially says:
What Is the best way to dispose of
tramps is a question of vital import
ance to all. Most tramps are tramps
from choice. There are those worthy
men who would work If they had an
opportunity, but the great majority of
tramps do not want work and would
not work should a half dozen jobs be
offered them. It is more to their
taste to tramp over the country
intimidating and insulting women and
children and stealing what they can lay
hands on. When cold weather arrives
these creatures must veal warmer
clothing and then they will resort to
highway robbery and robbing stores
and residences and committing muir
der II necessary to accomplish their
end. They must not be fed unless
they are willing to work but must be
dealt with firmly and must be made to
know that the people will not continue
to put up with tramps. If they are
willing to work food and shelter should
be provided. Officers and citizens
must alike be vigilant.

CONDUCTOR CoPELAND'S GEM.
Clay County Men, Accused of Substl-
tuting a Paste Diamond for it,
Set Free.
From the Kansas City Star.

Forty-eight men and women from
Liberty and other places in Clay
county, were in the criminal court
this morning as witnesses in the cases
of Edward Sylvis and John Fisher,
who were charged with stealing the
diamond of Glasgo G. Copeland, a
Wabash railroad conductor. Copeland
was conductor of the Wabash passen-
ger train that went through a bridge
and was wrecked in Clay county last
June. In the wreck Copeland lost a
diamond worth S125 and other jew
elry. Sylvis and Fisher, who are
prominent business men of Liberty,
found the jewelry the next morning
while prodding around in the wreck.
They made no secret of the fact, but
when Copeland went to his
diamond he claimed that Sylvis and
Fisher had come to Kansas City and
Switched" his valuable stone for a
paste imitation. AS the "switching''
was alleged to have been done here
they yer indicted here, against the
protest of prosecutor Lowe, who told
the grand jurors that the men could
not be convicted.
The trial of Sylvis had not gone very
far this morning when Prosecutor
Lowe and Judge Woodford saw that
the evidence was too weak to convict
and the judge instructed the jury to
bring in a verdict of not guilty against
him and the a against Fisher was
dismissed. Copeland has not recov-
cred his diamond.
