Eastern Eoads Have Sharp Knives for the
Milwaukee and st. Paul.

Chicago, June 15.-The Union Pacific
today pulled out Of the Western passen-
ger association, by giving the thirty days
notice Of withdrawal which is called for
in the association agreement. There is
strong probability. moreover, that there
will be some reductions in the passenger
rates between the Missouri river and
Ogden before the matter IS finally set
tied. The cause of the withdrawal was
the old fight over the divisions to be al
lowed the Oregon Short Line. In the old
days, wher the relations between the
Union Pacific ard the Oregon Short Line
were more intimate than they are at
present, the Union Pacific allowed the
Short Line percentages somewhat in ex-
cess of those usually allowed the western
roads by their eastern connections.
When the Short Line was reorganized il
obtained from the Rio Grande Western
and the Denver and Rio Grande the same
divisions that it had been receiving from
the Urion Pacific. Today, at the meet
ing OF the Trans-Missouri lines, the
Union Pacific demanded that these two
lines should not pay to the Short Line
the same percentages which it paid, and
announced that If the per centages Of the
Short Line were not lessened il would
withdraw from the association. The Rio
Grande Western and the Denver and Rio
Grande refused 10 pay less to the Short
Line thar they were paying at present,
saying they were doing exactly what the
had Nd tyoa
Pacific gave formal notice of withdrawal
from the association. Its attitude caused
some feeling among the other roads, ard
some very plain talking was done in The
meeting, in the course of which .he
Union Pacific intimated that if matters
We're forced much farther it would re-
duce the rates between ogden and the
Missouri river. 1t afterwards partially
withdrew this threat and the meeting ad-
journed with everybody in a fighting
mooI.
The feeling Of the eastern roads against
the Milwaukee and ST. Paul over the
tickets ii has placed on sale II 81. Paul,
and which the Chicago scalpers snatched
up, with the result Of cutting the east
bound rates between Chicago and New
York and Boston. is very bitter Some
OF them today declared themselves in
favor OF refusing TO honor the tickets IN
der any consideration. The Milwaukee
and St. Pau, early in the day announced
that il was willing 10 take the tickets off
the market, and began calling them in
Chairman Caldwell of the Western Pas
senger association also had men out after
the tickets, and il is thought that by to-
morrow. at which time the agreement Of
the Chicago-St. Paul roads 10 maintain
rates goes into effect, no more Of he
tickets will be found on the market.

GET FLESH.
Get Strength, yigor, Clear Complexion and
Good Digestion, Not by Patent Medicine
But In NNtnre's Own Way.

Good DbEestioc, NOT Oy fatSh' 1ueuiCfnc
But I'm Natures Own Way.
Any honest physician will tell you that
there Is but one way to get increased
flesh; ell the patent medicines and cod
liver oils 10 the contrary notwithstand-
ing
Nature has but one way to increase
flesh, strength and vigor of mind ard
body, and that is through the stomach
by wholesome food well digested- There
is no reason or common sense in any
other method whatever.
People are thin, run down, nervous
pale and shaky in their nerves, SIMPLY
because their stomachs are weak
They may not think they have dys-
D.ps:a. but the fact remains that they
do not eat enough food or what they
eat is not quickly and properly digesfed
as it should be.
DR.. Harlandson says the reason Is De-
cause the stomach lacks certain digestive
acids AMI peotones, and deficient secre-
ton of gastric juice.
Natures remedy in such cases IS to
s1upiv what the weak stomach lacks
There are several good preparations
which viii do this, but none so re2olly
as Stuirt's Dyspepsia Tablets. which
are designed especially for all stomach
troubles, and which cure all digestive
weaknesses on the common sense plan
OF furnishing the digestive principles
which the stomach lacks.
S.uart's Dyspepsia Tablets give per-
feet digestion. First effect is 70 increase
the appetite and increased vigor, added
flesh, pure blood, and strength Of nerve
and muscle is the perfectly natural re-
suit.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is the safest
tonic known and will cure any form of
stomach trouble except cancer Of the
stomach. May be found at druggists at
80 cents for fun sized package or direct

catarrh pnisons.

Catarrh is capable of changing all
the life giving secretions of the body
into scalding fluids, which destroy and
infiame every part they come in con-
tact with. Applications to the places
affected by catarrh can do little good
save to sooth or quiet disagreeable
symptoms. Hence 1t is that gargies,
sprays, atomizers and inhalants only
serve as temporary relief. Any med
icine TO effect q cure must be taken
into the system.
So long as the irritating secretions
OF caEarrh continue to be formed so
long will the membranes continue to
be inflamed mo matter what treatment
is used. There Ia but n remedy that

FIRST N CITIZEN
Her Sturdy Lads and Clever Lasses Become
Prominent citizens-Whai Some Of
them Accomplished.
From sae Ne,os. Indianapolis, Ind.

Hundreds Of thousands Of men of foreign
birth have taken out papers declaring their
citizenship in Indiana since that State was
admitted into the Union in 1916 without
creating remark or comment. 1t was a diff
ferent matter, however, when along in the
forties the first woman of foreign birth APP
piled for and received papers of citizenship.
This first woman citizen" was an Irish
widow who settled in southern Indiana with
her progeny Of sturdy lads and clever lasses
upon q farm which she had bought.
"The Widow Ryan" as she was knevn
In Davies County, Indiana, was o great
m with a clever business head and left
behind her those who grew to be worthy
men and worthy women, and who nave leh
their impress upon the State.
One OF these sons James B. Ryan became
treasurer of the State of Indiana, and a son.
in-law, NJ. L. Brett, also held that high and
honorable position: Another son was the
late Lieut.. Col. Richard j. Ryan who was,
probably the most brilliant and gifted orator
that Indiana ever produced, and who during
the wal for the Union served his country in
the Thirty-6fth Indiana Volunteer Infantry,
better known a. "the Irish Regiment,O
Another son is Thomas F. Ryan who IL
now 50 years old, and with a few intervals OF
absence has been . resident of Indianapolis
