Two years ago l was a great
sufferer from womb trouble and pro-
fuse flowing each month, and tumors
would form in the womb. l had four
tumors in two years. went through
treatment with doctors, but they did
me no good, and l thought L would
have to resort to morphine.
"The doctor said that all that could
help me was TO have an operation and
have the womb removed, but L had
heard of Mrs. Pinkham's medicine and
decided to try it, and wrote for her
advice, and after taking her Vegetable
Compound the tumors were expelled
and l began to get stronger right
along, and am as we'll as ever before.

II a person is i'll and needs medi.
cine is it not wise to get one that has
stood the test of time and has hun
dreds of thousands of cures to its
credit?
A great many women who are i'll try
everything they hear of in the way of
medicine, and this experimenting with
unknown drugs is constant menace
to their already impaired health.
This seems to us very unwise, for
there are remedies which are no ex-
periments and have been known years
and years to be doing only good.
Take for instance Lydia i. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound; for thirty
years its record has been one un-
broken chain of success. No medicine
for female ills the world has over
known has such record for cures.
1t seems so strange that some people
viii take medicines about which they
really know nothing, some of which
might be, and are, really harmful F;
while on the other hand IL is easily
proved that over one million wopen
have been restored to health by Lydia
e. Pinkhams Vegetable Compound.
We have published in the news
papers of the United States more
genuine testimonial letters than have
ever been published in the interest of
any other medicine.
All this should, and does, produce q
spirit of confidence in the hearts of
women which is difficult to dislodge,
and when they are asked to take some
thing else they say, No, we want
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound which has been tried, and
never found wanting, whose reliability
is established far beyond the expert
mental stage"

''The financial interests have straight

much as the commissions paid ticket
agents. he continued, 1.-The reform should
have commenced in the freight depart

was not Illegal, but the giving OF rebates
or secret cutting of freight rates is unlaw-
full, and the shipper is held as guilty as
the offending railway official. While great
deal of money has been wasted in passen-
ger rate wars. the cost Of freight wars Is
Infinitely greater. There are many times
when the passenger officials are In harmo-

to take advantage OF each other in way
that only makes trouble for the shippers

HEARD At THE HOTELS
SENATOR w. l.. BALL WILL HAVE
VOTED FOR THREE SENATORS.
Crawford Fairbanks Discusses Rail-
roads-Sketch of Bates House Plans
General Corridor Gossip.

State Senator Walter l.. Ball, of Muncie,
was at the benson yesterday and announced
that, as the Republicans of Delaware coun-
ty had again nominated him for the State
Senate, he will have the exceptional ex-
perience of having voted for three United
States senators before he reaches his thir-
ty-fourth birthday. Senator Ball was only
thirty years old last month. and has al
ready voted for two candidates for the
senatorship. Both were losers, however
The first one was General Lew Wallace
and the second was ]. Frank Hanly. The
next time Senator Ball hopes he will be on
the side of the successful candidate.
Senator Ball says that, although no one
in Muncie can guess how much longer gas
may be used for manufacturing purposes
in that part of the State, considerable ap-
prehension was felt during the recent cold
period, when the pressure fell off alarm
ingly. He says he is sure that most Of
Muncie's industrial institutions will stay
there after the gas gives out, and that the
direct connection made with the Brazil
coal fields by Harry Crawford's railroad
will give the city plenty of fuel at reason
able prices. He says the Chicago q South
eastern road is not in operation as yet into
Muncie, but work trains are constantly
bringing in loads of machinery and build
ing material for the shops to be To-
Gated there. He says the road will secure
its entrance into the heart of the city over
the tracks of the Fort Wayne division Of
the Lake Erie & Western road.

Years ago Alliance, o.. eighty-three miles
from Pittsburg, was the division point
the Fort Wayne Railroad, and Crestline
came next, with Fort Wayne the last divi-
sion point nearest TO Chicago. Some years
ago Alliance was dropped as a division
point and all through trains were run
from Allegheny 10 Crestline, a distance or
1S9 miles. Now IL is proposed to abandon
Crestline and make the division point at
Mansfield. which is 175 miles from Pitts
burg. This will make the next division,
which ought to be called the middle divi-
son, between Crestline and Fort Wayne,
1s5 miles, and the Chicago, or western divi-
sion, will be 14S miles. II seems strange
that the eastern or Pittsburg division.
which is hilly road and handles the bulk
of the traffic, should be made the longest
on the system. On the Panhandle the con-
ditions are about the same as on the Fort

burg and Columbus. is the longest on the
system. the Chicago division coming next.

Eight storie. to Bates House.

The first plans for the new hotel to be
built on the site of the Bates were sub
mitted by Architect Andrews in sketch
yesterday. AT first sight it impresses one
as being much like the outline Of the court
house at Rennes, France, in which Dreyfus
was tried. Instead Of seven stories. as at
first contemplated. the plan provides for
eight, because MIR. Lawrence has decided
that he will need that much room. The
building will be highly ornamental and the
hotel entrance will be in about the center
of the Illinois-street side. The present
space allotted to the State Bank, along
with an equal distance adjoining the alley,
will be built up from the sidewalk to the
top of the building. while the center. where
the office will be located, will be consid-
erably depressed inward from the first
floor. admitting of a glass roof for the
office. There will be a separate entrance
TO the cafe just north of the office en-
trance while the bar will adjoin the alley.
Only elevation has been prepared. but
Mr.. Andrews said both sides would be the
same.

To the Editor OF the indianapolis Journal:
Ar. Afilburn's chief reason why the Fair
bank-kissel property should be selected
for the art building site is. sit affords the
most perfect architectural setting TO be
found In the city" Possibly for a Swiss
cottage IL does, but fer the classic fea-
lures of art building possibly IL does
not. The Country Clubs house would be
out Of place In University Park, while Mr..
Fahnley's elegant residence would be I'M
attractive on the Country Clubs grounds.
Mr.. Milburn says 1.-The property Is amply
large" Yes; If IL were a botanical or zoo
logical garden there would be a necessity
for large grounds. but broad acres are not
requisite especially desirable for an
art gallery. Ravines and running brooks
and winding walks and ample lawns are
ssuggestiye OF summer resorts and club
houses. OF broad verandas and tennis
courts. While Mr.. Milburn Is making his
plea for a neighborhood location he over
looks the main consideration, the one that
should guide and determine, viz-accessi-
bility. Not eligibility, Mr.. Milburn. but
accessibility. Do not sidetrack the art gal
iery; do not give IL local setting. Make Il
central All car lines and business ave-
nues lead toward the center. and the trend
Of the mass OF the people is that way. /
should prefer 70 heed the advice OF Captain
English and Mr.. claypooi and Mr.. Malott,

Future of the Indiana Southern.

Crawford Fairbanks, the well-known cap
italist, promoter and politician of Terre
Haute, spent yesterday afternoon at the
Denison, after visit TO his friend, John r.
Walsh, of Chicago. Mr.. Walsh, who, be-
sides owning the Chicago Chronicle, is the
proprietor of the Indiana SFathern Rail-
road, which was formerlf known as the
Evansville & Richmon6~ road, told Mr..
Fairbanks that the road would be in opera
ton to Terre Haute within ninety days, and
that as soon as favorable weather devel
oped the rails would be laid. All the grad
ing has been finished up to the line of the
Terre Haute city limits, but as the process
of freezing and thawing Will make ii i'm
possible to operate over new roadbed, 1t
is thought best not to open the road until
warm weather.

had been informed that it was Mr.. Walsh's
intention to extend the Indiana Southern
road to Dayton, o., in the near future.
