Wages Have Been Restored on Many
Lines-General Longstreet's Re-
port Favors the Construction of an
Air Line From Kansas City. Mo-,

Washington. Nov. 21.-General James
Longstreet. the commissioner of rail-
roads. in his annual report, made public
today, calls attention to the general
prosperity in railroad affairs and
recommends the government construc-
ton and operation of a first-class dOu-
BILE track railway from Kansas City to
San Diego. Cal, by air line route. He
says the physical condition of our rail-
roads generally is better than ever be-
fore. He points to the spectacle of
roads which only two or three years ago
were in receivers hands now paying
dividends on their preferred stocks and
piling up SURPRISES which in the curse
of a very short time, his report says,
will be distributed among the common
stock holders. Many roads which in
1893 were forced to cut salaries 20 per
cent he says, have voluntarily restor-
ed the old basis of wages. In April,
1894. receivers controlled in this coun-
try 21O roads. embracing about 90 per
cent of the total mileage of the United
States. On June 80 of this year there
were only 119 railroads in the hands of
receivers and General Longstreet pre-
diets that under the present condition
of prosperity. within another year the
list of insolvent railroads will be as
small as III the years Immediately pre-
ceding 1892.

NOT SUICIDE BUT MURDER.
Mystery Surrounding a Oakland Girl;
Death Being Solved.

Oakland. Cal. Nov. 21.-The suppos-
ed suicide of Lillian Brandes. a pretty
15-year-old girl in East Berkeley, or
Saturday. is likely to prove a case of
murder. The autopsy showed that the
girl had been beaten on the head until
her scalp was laid open and her skull
denied. Her body was covered with
bruises and there were no signs OF
strangulation. After the surgeons had
completed their examination they said
the girl had died from or been rendered
unconscious by a blow on the head. and
had been subsequently tied up to the
bedpost.
The girls father, w. A. Brandes, has
been arrested on suspicion of having
committed the horrible crime. The
stepmother has become hysterical and
refuses to talk about the tragedy, which
was first reported to the police by the
accused man. The neighbors tell many
stories of how the girl was cruelty
treated, and the community is greatly
excited over the startling develop
ments.

TEN THOUSAND SORE THROATs.


Through The courtesy of DR.. p. Hy-

the following account of a peculiar cpl
demic which recently visited Denver.
The article is a condensation of an edi-
torial in the Colorado Medical Journal:
Denver is just recovering from one
Of the n~astiesT epidemics of a peculiar
infectious sore throat with cOnstitu-
tional symptoms that has visited this
part Of the country for years. The cpl
demic appeared after two Or three days
seige of wind disturbance. in which
large quantities of dirt were in the air.
It did not apparently begin until a day
or so after the wind had subsidized.
when every doctor was kept busy at
tending to various manifestations OF
the disease.
1t usually started with a sharp. short
chill. followed by fever. a marked sense
of illness. aching pains and soreness in
all parts of the body. especially Of the
back and head.
The sore throat and other symptoms
resembled diphtheria so much that the
health department was kept busy max

were all negative.

"DEATH IN
THE POT"

death in the pot" That sentence
cordenses the story of a tragedy. A
little family gathering. A fine dinner
cooked i'll the large copper kettle long
disused, and the entire family poisoned
by the accumulated verdigris. The story
was told by the newspapers from one
end of the land to the other. But it was
soon forgotten. The moral of it is, that
the purest of food, put into a foul vessel,
instead of ministering to life may be-
ont a minister of death.
If the stomach is diseased it is like the
poisonous kettle, which taints everything
that goes into it. The symptoms are
irregular appetite, undue fullness after
eating, distressed feeling in the stomach,
of futtering and sinking sensations, pal
p%itation, dizziness, ringing in ears, sour or
bitter risings and constipation. Not all
these symptoms may be present at the.
same time, but any of them shows dis
ease in the digestive or a~limentary tract.
The intimate relation Of the stomach
to the blood, heart, liver and lungs
makes it a medical maxim in exploring
the causes of obscure diseases to " start
with the stomach" 1t is upon this
principle that DIR. Pierce's Golden Mcdi-
cal Discovery effects 50 many and such
remarkable cures. 1t cleanses the stom-
sch and the system is cleansed. 1t in
creases the action of the blood making
glands, and the body is enriched by the
purified blood. 1t strengthens the di-
FESTIVE or nutritive organs and these
strengthen the whole body by increasing
the quantity and quality of its nourish-
ment. 1t carries off the poisonous, effete
matter. In this way it re-establishes
health, banishing the bodily aches, which
are but symptoms of the stomach's
condition.
