IMPORTANT
TO MEN.
Dangerous Symptoms,

Many men become scxually weak early in life,
or at least prior TO old age. Some becarse Of
dissipation or high living; some because Of
worry over bad crops, business reverses or fnan-
cial failures; some because OF marital excesses;
but by far the larger portion Of those who are
prematurely weak, debilitated, or impotent in
their sexual organs, have become SO through
This weakness quickly cured by the OF The

LOST MANHOOD may be conveniently divided
into three stages, as follows:
First Stage-The main trouble is involuntary

the symptoms disappear.

NEW WIRES SOUTH AND WEST.
Many Cities Added to n Great Tele .
graph System.

Many Cities Added to n Great Tele .
graph System.
During the past year the Postal Tele-
graph Company has added about 2.5ce miles
OF new line to its vast system. and within
few weeks its wires will be in touch with
nearly all the big cities in the South In
deed. there will hardly be a place of any
size or Importance but what will have a
Postal Telegraph Office. Lines from Helena
to Pine Bluff, Texarkana, and Shreveport
are now in operation. and in Texas con-
nection can be obtained with such cities
as Houston. Dallas, Fort Worth, Calves
ton, Denison. Waco. Austin, and San An
tonic. This extension will be welcomed by
the business men of the South, for It will
give them improved telegraph facilities.
which are badly needed.
Manager Ribble. of the Washington Of
fice speaking of this recent Improvement
said to Times reporter that the Postal
Telegraph Company had always been noted
for conservatism; that the company pro-
posed to take care of what 1t had before
branching out. During the past three or
four years. he said. the company had been
strengthening the lines in the East, with
the intention, of course, of spreading out
in the South. The trouble experienced in
the South is the fact that cities of import
ance are three and four hundred miles
apart, and tha, is one re ason. Manager Rib
BILE said, that has caused delay in the
southern extension of wires. Further ex
tensions are now under way. and before
long the Postal will add to its lines Albany
and Thomasville, Ga; Tallahassee. Jack
sonville. and st. Augustine. Fla. The
company is now building lines from Pitts
burg through Cumberland. Hagerstown,
Frederick, and Baltimore. This new line
is complete to within few miles of Ha
gerstown coming eastward Further eXten-
sions are contemplated from Richmond to
Logansport and Chicago. Another extern
sion is from Denver, Col, to Salt Lake and
thence up TO Butte. Mont, meeting the
Northern Trunk line. The company low
reaches, with four or five exceptions. every
city of Importance in the United States.
Manager Ribble says the Postal is ex-
pending from one to two million dollars
per year in the Improvement and cxten-
sion of the service. When the company
not considered as against the value of the
improvement. The company. in order to
follow the shortest possible route, fire.
quently buys the right of way through pri-
vate property. and this has been done in
many instances through the South. When
the extension through Salt Lake is COM
pleted the Postal will have three trunk
lines to the Pacific. The company now has
five routes to the South. The advantage OF
so many trunk lines is that in the event Of
an accident to a line somewhere on the
route another line can be used, thus pre-
venting delay.

CONSPIRACY CASES POSTPONED
Justice Bradlcy's Court Busy With n
VIII Contest.


VIII Contest.
The conspiracy cases. in which a number
of the members of different local labor Or
ganizations are defendants, indicted for
violating the Antitrust law, and which
had been set for trial today before Justice
Bradley in Criminal Court No. 2, were
postponed until next Monday. The reason
for the postponement was that the court
was occupied with the consideration CT the
contest in the Anna C. Simms will case.
In this case the testatrix left four sis
ters, Mrs. Robert o. Hoffman, Mrs. Fan
ME b. McIntire, Rosa G. Simms, and Sa-
bina NJ. Miller. Robert o. Hoffman is
named as executor of the will. Besides the
sisters mentioned there are nine children.
descendants of two deceased sisters of the
teStatrix.
According to the terms Of the will, Miss
Simms left her estate in trust to Robert
o. Hoffman for the use and benefit Of
Marie Miller, her niece, daughter Of her
sister. Salina NJ. Miller. The income of
the estate was to be used for the main
tenance and education of the legatee. Ma
rie Miller until she became twenty-one
years of age. In the event OF her death be-
fore she arrived at that age. the property
was to revert to her mother.
The will is dated October 20, 1896. and on
February 4, 1897, Fannie B. McIntire, a
sister of the deceased. filed a caveat, pro-
testing against its being admitted to pro-
bate. on the ground that the testatrix was
mentally unfit to execute will and also
that she was unduly influenced.
