California.

Every Wednesday and Saturday at p. m. 8 train leaves Chicago over the famous Santa Fe route, which makes the run to Southern California in less than three days. This train Is composed of Pullman palace vestibuled sleeping cars, buffet smoker and din- ing car of the most luxurious pattern ever designed.
 Another improvement in the Santa Fe service is in the time of the weekly tourist excursions, which now leave Boston every Thursday at 1;S0 a. m, and reach California the following Tuesday. The cost of tickets Is lower and the time faster via these excur- sions than via any other.
 The Santa Fe route Is the only line running entirely over it's own tracks from Chicago to California, and those who intend making a trip west will find it to their advantage to communicate with $. w. Manning, New England Agent of this line, at S32 Washington street, Boston.

WIry Attemnt to Cure

Catarrh by the use of so-called blood remedies? That eatarrh is not caused by blood troubles is self-evident when you reflect that attacks are always due to sudden climatic changes or exposure and occur most frequently during the winter and spring, though the blood is as pure then as in summer or fall. A remedy which quickly relieves and cures the catarrhal attacks has been found in Ely's Cream Balm

CREMATION.

(Paper Read by Frances Ellen Burr
 Before the Hartford Theosophical So-
 ciety, December 1)
 Cremation is a subject of more in- portance to the living than the dead. Earth burial is now going to be recog- nized as one of the most fertile sources of water contamination. The popula- ton of the earth's graveyards outnum- bers it, thousands and thousands to one, for the underground population has been swelling from time immemorial, but let us trust it will not go on to time immemorial in the future, for ematories are increasing, and preju- dices are decreasing Kate Field once graphically expressed it that the pre- vai1ing malarias and Zymotic diseases were due to the people drinking up the remains of their deceased ancestors ' There is no part of the land that would not be in healthier condition for it's inhabitants if the dead were cremated, but probably there is no place that fur nishes so strong an object lesson on this line as New Orleans, where the na- ture of the soil is such that burials have to be above ground, in brick tonnbs, and the atmosphere within a wide range of these burial places is anything but salubrious.
 To the Theosophical society is due the first cremation in America by the scientific process of the modern crema- torium. In 1916 a wealthy southern gentleman, MT. Henry Laurens of South Carolina, had his body burned in open air on his own plantation, on funeral pyre, leaving proviso in his will that his family should not inherit his es- tate unless his wishes in this respect were strictly carried out. Ore other case of the Kind is recorded, that of a MT. Berry. But the case of the Baron de Palm of Bavaria, then resident in New York, is the first case of scientific cremation in this country by means of @ retort made for the purpose. This was the crematorium built at Wash ington, Penn, by pr. Julius Le Moyne of that place, who had it built for the disposal of his own body. The Baron de Palm had requested Colonel H. s. Olcott, president of the Teosophical so- ciety, to have his body cremated. He died on the 20th of May 1876. No cre- matorium was then in existence in this country, and the body was put into a receiving vault till some way of car rying out the Baron's wishes could be devised Most elaborate obsequies were held over his body in the great hall of the Masonic Temple in New York. Cards of admission were issued, black, and triangular in shape, and printed in silver. The rush was so great that the hall, which held 2,0OO people, could not begin to accommodate the crowds. Orphic hymns were sung by a volunteer choir of the New Yorker Sanegerbund, and the organ accompa- niment was the music of an Italian mass 300 years old. The New York Suns report of that day said of the music: '.As it swelled and died softly away in the half gloom of the crowded but hushed room with the symbolic fire flickering on the triangular altar, and the ancient knightly decorations flashing on the coffin, the effect was fmpressive."

FREE WATER.

Buffalo Courier.
The recommendation submitted yes
terday to the Common Council for a
reduction in the water rents by trans
ferring a portion of the expense Of
conducting the Bureau of Water to the
general fund, was all right as far as It
went; but it didn't go far enough
There is no good reason why the en-
tire expense should not be placed in
the general tax, so that water may be
as free to consumers as the air they
breathe.
1t would seem at first glance that this
would bring hardship on the small
property holders; as matter of fact,
the increased tax woul, he borne by
the land owners who nave big hold
ings of vacant property and DO NOT
PAY ONE CENT toward maintaining
the Water Bureau. Water mains have
been extended through streets TO their
property and intersecting it, and while
they have reaped the harvest of the
Improvement they have not paid dol
lar of the expense of creating 1t.
1t is time these men who are rich
enough to buy vacant property and let
it stand idle and unimproved unit, the
natural growth of the city, with the
water extensions paid for by the men
who own houses and lots valued at
$1,000 or $4,000, brings them fabulous
return, contributed their JUS share
to the support of the municipality.
The Courier-Record believes water
should be furnished by the city FREE.
1t would reduce the tax of those
least able to pay high taxes.
1t would increase the taxes of those
most willing to shirk them and in
variably best able to pay them.

and very common trouble known as
peritonitis, or Inflammation Of the
bowels, which, until lately and before
operative treatment was instituted, al
ways ended in death.
The trouble having been traced to
the liberation or rupture of an in
famed appendix, causing the fatal per-
itonitis, the early removal of the. dis
eased organ very naturally suggested
the proper line of treatment. 1t is,
perhaps, not generally known by the
public that the various foreign bodies,
such as grape seeds, cherry pits and
the concretions usually found in the
appendix, are merely accidental con-
sequences of the Inflammation rather
than causes of it, To such as never
eat a grape without certain misgiv-
ing it may be comforting to learn that
it is very rare circumstance to find
a seed of the fruit lodged in the appen-
dix. In fact, it is now proven that
aside from the intestinal concretions
which really form in the organ after
the latter becomes diseased there is

"A GOOD PRACTICE.


II Ton want : Good Appetite and Perfect
Digestion.
After each meal dissolve one or two
of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets in the
mouth and, mingling with the food,
they constitute perfect digestive, abb
solutely safe for the most sensitive
stomach.
They digest the food before it has
time to ferment, thus preventing the
formation of gas and keeping the blood
pure and free from the poisonous pro-
ducts of fermented, llalf-digested food.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets make the
complexion clear by keeping the blood
pure.
They increase flesh by digesting flesh
forming foods.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is the only
remedy designed especially for the
cure of stomach trouble and nothing
else.
One disease, one remedy, the success
full physician of to-day is the specialist,
the successful medicine is the medicine
prepared especially for one disease.
A whole package taken at one time
would not hurt you, but would simply
be waste of good material.
Over six thousand men and women in
the State of Michigan alone have been
cured of indigestion and dyspepsia by
the use of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets.

scarcely an average proportion OF three
per cent. in which foreign bodies. dis
tinc.ively so called, are discovered.
That these accidental or deposited sub
stances are not absolutely necessary
for the production OF the disease is
shown by their entire absence in q
goodly number OF the most severe
cases. Among the latter may be mem
toned recent instance which has
claimed much public attention.
The real cause Of the disease is asso-
ciated with the destructive tendencies
of a peculiar microbe called the colon
bacillus, which always exists in the
intestine, and is absolutely harmless
until an Inflammation or injury Of the
appendix gives it an opportunity for
the development Of malignant quail
ties. The microbes then multiply with
great rapidity, penetrate the walls Of
the weakened organ, intensity the in
f1ammation, and finally escape into the
abdominal cavity by liberation or rup-
ture of the tube, thus producing the
fatal or septic peritonitis.

COIN BONDS.
Louisville Dispatch.

Louisville Dispatch.
The talk of Secretary Gage about re-
moving all ambiguity from our con-
tract obligations by issuing gold bonds
will not obscure the question or de-
ceive anybody. Wall street has been
trying for twenty-five years to have the
bonds of the United States changed
from coin bonds to gold bonds. In
1877 John Sherman tried to get the At
torney General of the United States to
give an opinion that coin meant gold.
The Attorney General told him that in
1870 the law provided for the coinage
of both gold and silver; that the coin
bonds were issued that year, and that
coin then meant gold and silver, and
by their terms they were and are yet
payable in gold and silver.
The Hon. Stanley Matthews. of Ohio,
who was then in Congress, introduced
resolution which was adopted by the
House, declaring that the bonds Of the
United States are payable in either
gold or silver. Cleveland wrecked the
Democratic party trying to force an
issue of gold bonds, the effect of which
would have been to eventually make
all of Our bonds payable in gold. Mr.
Gage is now working under similar
contract with Wall street, and Mckin-
ley is committed to the issuance of gold
bonds and the retirement Of the green
backs.
Through him Wall street will wreck
the Republican party.
Bietallism means that The bonds
shall be paid in either gold or silver at
the option of the government and it
means that there will be no more bonds
placed on posterity as mortgages to
support the gold standard.
Mr.. Gage and Wall strees ere very
solicitous about the inviolabiisy of con-
tracts, and yet they are using every pos
sible effort to change a perfectly plain
contract with the people so as to rob
them.
According to this school cf moralists,
it is all right to change contracts with
the people without their consan-, hut it
would be terrible crime for the people
to stand up and defend anu assert their
rights under their contracts. These
greedy dogs should remember the story
Of the dog which dropped the bone he
had and jumped into stream after A
shadow. He came ont very wet and
glad to escape with his life, and &c had
no hone.

tended over quite a period of time,
the Wheeling Beef Company has trans
ferred it's Twentieth street property to
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Com
pany, in exchange for lot OF ground
at the southwest corner OF Sixteenth
and Eoff streets, in the "Hempfield'
railroad square, and the Beef Company
will at once proceed to erect build
ing upon the new site, turning over the
old ground to the railroad. The piece
of ground at Eoff street embraces the
space between the Caldwell & Peter
son warehouse and the corner of the
street, as we'll as ten feet off the east
end of the Caldwell & Peterson build
ing, and to-day the work Of cutting
off the east end of this building will

pany building will commence next
week, according to present informa-
ton, and it will be completed in a
comparatively short time. The Com
pany will then abandon it's present To-
cation, and the frame building adjoin-
ing the depot will be torn down to give
the railroad company additional and
much needed room.

is no connection between this exchange
of property and the railroad project for
