Dr., Iohr Won His Case,

DIR. G. B. Lohr, the veterinary sur
geon, who several days ago was fined
$50 in the police court for prac-
ticing his profession without q
license, and appealed his case to
the hustings court. won his case
with hands down. When the case
came up in the last named court it
came before jury. Carter Braxton,
the attorney for the Commonwealth,
looked after the interests of the State.
while that of the defense was cared for
by S. D. Timberlake, Jr. The case
had made little progress when Attorney
Braxton entered a nolle pros. This
victory gives Dr. Lohr the right to
practice, and ends controversy that
has been going on for some little time.

SETS A TIME LIMIT
Mr.. BISHOP SAYS COUNCIL MUST
ACT MONDAY NIGHT.
OR AUTOMOBILES WILL BE USED
If the Council Does not Act PaYorably at
It's Next Meeting on the Company's
Ordinance the officers Say They will
Buy Two Automobile Carriages.

A. W. Bishop, vice president and
press agent of the NJ, R. & K. electric
railroad, has been talking again and it
is evident from his recent interviews
with Milwaukee newspaper men that
he expects to make his latest bluff, to
put in line of horseless carriages in
this city an effective one.
The genial vice president has even
gone so far as to place a time limit on
the actions of the Council and says that
if this body does not act on the fran
chise OrdinanceEnext Monday evening
the companyaawill at once adopt the
plan recently made to connect the city
and the terminus of the railroad with
automobile carriages.
In an interview with Milwaukee
Sentinel reporter Tuesday evening Mr..
Bishop said, "The Kenosha council
not only wanted us to lay pavements
3331 feet wide through the streets on
which we passed, but wanted us to
expend $4,000 in bridge building and
a percentage on our gross receipts.
We still hope the council will grant us
more reasonable TERMS"
Should we be unable to secure a
modification of the eXactions of the
Kenosha Council, we will negotiate at
once r..the purchase of two automobile
carriages. They will connect with our
line at the north of the city and will
run to the railway depot and certain
streets of the city. K0nosha is not
large enough for IAN independent cleo
trio railway isystem, and two of these
acknowledgements, we believe, will
take care of all the business. do not
know what istyle of carriage we shall
buy. neutrality-suspicious. have reache :
us from New YOrk..and Paris manufac-
turers. understand they will cost
about So, 900 apiece"
Mr.. Bishops said the company with
which he is connected would put three
or four new electric cars, of the same
size as those now used, on the line this
year. The track is to be Strengthened
in several places where there are now
curves, and the run from Milwaukee to
Racine is to be made in reduced time.
The extension to Waukegan from the
south of Kenosha may also be begun
this summer.
The aldermen, several of whom were
seen today, do not seem to fear the talk
of Mr.. Bishop and say that he is work
ing as hard as 2ever to secure the pas
sage of his franchise ordinance.

Women.

MANY a man sees his wife bend and
tug at burdens that strain the back and
the heart alike, without any idea of the
outrage. Children follow in too quick
succession to allow the mother time to
recuperate The woman1y organs become
displaced, there are facilitating, disagree
able drains, with the added pain of in
famed or liberated parts. In this condi-
ton the woman brave1y tries to carry her
household load, afraid to take the rest she
needs lest meal will be late. No wonder
she is pale, weak, wretched, surly of tenn
per and snappish of tongue. She would
be false to nature if she were anything else.
No persons need help so much as the class
of whom this woman is the type And for
such women no help is so sure, so wonder
full, as that given by Dr. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription. 1t restores all the womanly
organs to perfect health. It establishes
regularity in their functions. It restores
the strained and shattered nervous system.
1t clears up the complexion, rounds out
the form and makes life daily happiness.
Favorite Prescription " contains no alco-
ho1 or whisky. It is the best medicine for
women. Nothing can be ''just as good !"
as the best. Tell the dealer so if he offers
a substitute.
at have long thought it my duty to write you
a few lines to let you know what your Favorite
Prescription has done for me-" writes Mrs.
EupheTnia Falconer, of Trent Muskegon Co.,
