Husband Is o Years of Age.

Julia A. Hedges, aged about ninety-eight
years, living at No. 1912 Rhode Island street,
was found dead in her bed yesterday morn
ing by her son, Jonas Hedges. She had
been i'll for several weeks and her death
was expected. Deputy Coroner Dunlavy in
vestigated the case and decided that her
death was due to old age. She leaves a
husband. Monroe Hedges, who claims to be
106 years old, and six children, most of
them living at home. Mr.. Hedges said he
came TO Indiana more than seventy years
ago, when his wife and her people moved
here. They were married soon after, and
had lived together nearly seventy years.
The ages of neither the husband nor his
wife can be verified, but their appearance
indicates advanced age.

to look after the eompany's extension

DOES THE WORK.
No Surgical Operation, No Pain, Trif-
ling Expense-A Simple, Harm
less Remedy, but it Does
the Work
the Work.

There are some people who have piles
as frequently and regularly as other
people have colds.
Any little bowel trouble will bring
them on, any extra exertion, as in lift
ing, will produce them, and in fact will
often appear without any apparent
provocation. Piles, however, are much
more serious than a cold, as the ten
dency is always to grow worse until
the trouble becomes deep seated and
chronic, or DEVELOPS into some fatal
rectal disease
While there are many pile remedies
which give relief, yet there is but one
which not only gives instant relief but
at the same time makes permanent
cure, and that is the well known Pyra-
mid Pile Cure.
This remedy is composed of simple,
harmless vegetable ingredients, but
combined so effectively and act so
promptly and thoroughly that it cures
every form of piles whether itching,
blind, bleeding or protrudings
In long standing cases the Pyramid
Pile Cure has proven to be the only GER
tain cure except a surgical operation,
and its advantages over an operation
are many, as it is painless, causes no
| delay or interference with daily Occu-
patton and last but not least it is
| cheaper than any surgical operation
| could possibly be.
! The cases that the Pyramid Pile Cure
will not reach are so few that physicians
/ are doing away with operations for
| piles and depending upon this cheap
| but effective remedy to accomplish a
! complete cure, and it never disappoints
except in cases beyond the reach OF
! medical skill.
The Pyramid Pile Cure is prepared
1 by the Pyramid Drug Co, of Marshall
| Mich, and for sale by druggists every
| where at so cents per package. Each
| package contains a treatise on cause
| and cure of piles. together with tesfi-
| monials from every section of this
| country.

RAILROAD NEWS.
Santa Fe is Firm on Question
of Increased Pay.
Refuses to Grant Enginemen
Is Per Cent Advance.
TROUBLE UNLIKELY.
Committee Members
Are Not Radical.
Railroad News of a General and
Local Nature.

It is altogether unlikely that the
Santa Fe company will accede to the
demand of the grievance committee OF
the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engi-
neers and Brotherhood of Locomotive
Firemen for an increase in the pay
schedule.
The committees asked a straight ad-
vance of Is per cent. The officials of
the company claim that the men are
now paid more than the engine en-
ployes of the majority of eastern and
western railroads, and look upon the
demand for an increase as an injustice
The members of the grievance com
mittees have not yet returned from chi
cagO, but the refusal of the company to
grant an advance will probably not be
productive of trouble. The officials
have made several concessions in favor
of the employees, and the men will pro-
badly be content with this much at this
time. giving notice, however, that the
demand will be repeated at the next
annual meeting of the committees.
The engineers are now paid $4.15 for
100 miles or less on consolidation en-
gines on all divisions, except the noun
tain divisions. On the mountain runs
they receive $4.33 ID for the first 100
miles or less. For distances over 100
miles they are paid pro rata. Firemen
receive so per cent of the wages of en-
gineers.
For work on all other styles of loco
motives the rate is cents per mile with
the same percentage for firemen.
Santa Fe engineers and fremen gen
orally now make excellent wages. Their
demand for an advance is based on the
fact that within the past two or three
years the number of heavy locomotives
in use on the Santa F'e system lines,
especially the Santa Fee road proper
has been greatly increased.
The committees of both orders will
likely complete conference work with
President Ripley and Vice President
Barr in Chicago today, and adjourn
without securing any increase at all.

MONSTER LOCOMOTIVE.
Illinois Central Secures the Most
Powerful Engine in the World.


Powerful Engine in the World.
Chicago, Nov. 4.-Early next week the
Illinois Central road will receive the
most powerful consolidation engine ever
constructed. The locomotive now is be
ing treated to it's finishing touches at
the Rogers works in Paterson. N. J.,
and, although it will weigh less than
the monstrous No. $40 recently deliv
cred to the road by the Brooks COM
pany, it is calculated to have the same
capability as that of its heavier sister
in service.
The new iron monster, whose number
will be $50, will tip the beam at 100000
pounds in working order, 1900 pounds
being on the drivers and 20 900 pounds
on the engine truck. The weight on
the driving wheels will be somewhat
greater than that of No. $40, but the
weight on the engine truck will be con-
siderably less. The locomotive will have
eignt drivers, each of which will meas
use 81 inches in diameter. Its cylinders
will be % by 80 inches in dimension, and
its boiler will measure so inches in
diameter. Its working pressure will be
21O pounds and it's frebOx will be IL
feet long and By feet wide. The engine
is calculated TIC haul load of 1000
tons, the same maximum as that which
No. $40 has shown its capability of
hauling. 1t will be put into service as
soon as possible between Carbonate,
Ill, and Fulton, Ky. On this part of the
line there are several thirty eight-fOot
grades and five degree curVatiureS.
