Vim. Ubelaker, president OF the Lake
View lodge Of Foresters, writes from
1927 North Clark street, Chicago ILL.,,
the following letter:
The Peruna Medicine Co, Columbus o. I:
Gentlemen-For years past when I
have been exposed to wet or inclement
weather, my chest would hurt me and /
would have serious indigestion, and
would be laid up for a day or two caus-
ing Inconvenience and pain.
One of my lodge friends advised me
to try Peruna, as it had helped him, and
found that a bottle cured me
If feel badly now at once take two
or three doses, and find it keeps me in
fine health. Peruna is worthy OF every
ones confidence.
Yours respectfully,
VIM UBELAKER-
It is only just ordinary good, common
sense to provide against Indictment
weather If you have the slightest cold,
cough, sneezing, or any other indica ton
that you are under the weather, a
few doses of Peruna will put you right
Don't wait for the catarrh to fasten
itself upon you before you begin your
treatment Peruna win cure very old
cases of chronic catarrh, but 1t takes
much longer than if the treatment had
been begun earlier.
Every family should be provided with
a bottle of Peruna early in November
with which to successfully meet and
overcome the terrors of the winter that
awaits them.
one Of the most common forms OF
catarrh among delicate women Is ca
tarrh of the pelvic organs This leads

PROMPT ACTION
Thoroughly Cures Every Form OF piles.

The Pyramid Pile lure has been a
pleasant surprise to thousands of suffer
ers, because of the instant relief it gives
and the prompt cure which follows its
regular use, and this is done without
the use of opiates, cocaine, narcotics or
poisonS of any kind, as careful analysis
shows the Pyramid Pile Cure to be
wholly free from any injurious drug
whatever.
Hundreds of people who had almost
decided to undergo an operation, be-
have been astonished to find that a fifty
cent box of the Pyramid was far safer,
better and more effective than an op-
Grafton could possibly be.
The Pyramid Pile Cure alIays the in
Examination and intolerable itching, re-
duces the tumors. and by its astringent
properties causes the enlarged blood
vessels to contract to a healthy condi-
ton.
A gentleman living in Cleveland re-
lates his experience by saying: cit
affords me unusual pleasure to add my
endorsement to what 1 consider a real
~ wonderful pile cure.
I was a sufferer from piles for years
until a brother salesman told me about
the Pyramid Pile Cure; it has entirely
cured me and I cheerfully recommend
it,
Mrs D. E. Reed of Albany says: IT
would not take $500 and be placed back
where was before used the Pyramid
Pile Cure; suffered for years and it is
AASff - sAAA~N L I7CL IL etAlA
not the slightest trace of the trouble
has returned"
Mrs Hinkley of Indianapolis was told
by her physician that nothing but a
surgical operation, costing between seven
and eight hundred dolalrs, could cure
her as she had suffered fifteen years,
yet even in such a case the Pyramid
Pile Cure accomplished a complete cure:
she says: Il knew an operation would
be death to me and tried the Pyramid
with very little hope, so it is not to be
wondered at that am SO enthusiastic
in its praise"
The Pyramid Pile Cure is sold by
druggists at fifty cents for complete
treatment and as it contains no opiate
or other poisonous drugs may be used
with entire safety.
No one need suffer from piles in any
form, who will give this excellent pre-
paration a trial

MILEAGE STILL UNSETTLED.
Trans missouri Officials Gould Not
AGREE at Kansas City.

Strained relations and disruption of
mileage bureaus are threatened as a, re-
suit of the passenger representatives Of
the Transmissouri lines in Kansas City
yesterday.
When the meeting opened in the
morning on the surface all was serene.
1t was not long, however, until a sensa-
tional feature was sprung. This was no
less than a diplomatic accusation made
by representatives of eastern roads hold
ing for the mileage credit system, that
the roads advocating the mileage ticket
on trains were doing so in the interest
of ticket brokers or "ScalperS-" From
that time on turmoil was continuous.
A committee was appointed to secure,
if possible the taking of some definite
steps, but at the end of an hour this
committee reported that no more pro-
gress had been made than in the general
session, and the meeting adjourned. The
question will be opened afresh at the
meeting of the Western Passenger as
Sociation in Chicago next Friday.
L was soon developed that the roads
represented in the meeting were divided
into two classes, with one road central
The roads with membership in the
Southwestern Passenger bureau stood
pat in the proposition of the inter
changeable mileage credit system. The
northern lines advocated an interchange
able mileage ticket good on trains. The
Santa F'e posed as the neutral road, and
as a compromise suggested an inter-
changeable mileage ticket restricted
with the provision that mileage should
be torn out and exchanged at ticket
offices for tickets
The adoption of an interchangeable
mileage system by Transmissouri roads
is of the greatest Importance to COM
merciaI travellers generally between the
Missouri river and Colorado points
While all roads now sell mileage books,
none are interchangeab The PROPOSE
tons under consideration are for the
extension of the interchangeable mile
age system now in use between the Mis-
souri, river and Chicagoand the issuance
of Independent interchangeable mileage
good only in Transmissouri territory.
The advisability of issuing the mileage
is Conceded, but the gone of contention
is the manner in which it is to be done.
The southwestern roads want the in
Interchangeable mileage credit system, and
refuse to stand for the interchangeable
mileage tickets, which they claim are
susceptible of manipulation by scalp
ers." The northern lines advocate the
Interchangeable mileage ticket, and
against the charge that such are food
for scalpers, declare that farmers, as
well as commercial travellers, can Sc
cure the benefits of the credit system.
The restricted mileage ticket, with
which ticket agents are concerned, form
a. possible compromise.

INCLEMENT WEATHER BEGINS
THE LAST OF NOVEMBER.

Indictment weather begins In Now
ember. The great objection 20 our
climate Is that it aIternates between
the heat of the tropics and the rigors

effects of the heat, and the first cold
snap of November Sows the seed of
thousands OF cases OF chronic catarrh
which in large per cent. of cases
will end fatally.

MISSOURI PACIFIC WRECK
Southern Kansas Express Crashed
Into Freight at Garnett.

The Southern Kansas express on the
Santa F'e cut through a Missouri Pacific
freight train at Garnett early Monday
morning, luckily without fatalities. En-
CINE No. e. was drawing train No. 204
in charge of Conductor Murphy, with
Engineer Bates and Fireman Overton in
the cab.
BY a misunderstanding of signals the
passenger train steamed ahead as Mis-
souri, Pacific freight train was going
over the crossing The Santa F'e loco
motive cut the freight in two. and scrap
ing through was pretty well cleaned of
its upper works. The left side of the cab
was demolished. Fireman Overton owes
his life to the fact that he was in the
tender stocking his fire and not ON his
seat.
Several passengers on the train were
bruised and shaken up in the collision.
Traffic was delayed four hours by the
wreck.
