How frs B0ygk7es',s Life
was Saved by Lydia z.
Pinkisasss's Vegetable
Compound.

1ydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound saved my life and gave back
a loving mother to eleven children,
which was more than any doctor could
have done or any other medicine in
the wide world. My trouble was child
bed fever. The third day after my
babe was born took chill, which
was followed by high fever. Iwould
perspire until my clothes were as wet
as though dipped in tub of water.
The chills and fever kept up for three
days. My daughter got me bottle of
your Compound. The fourth dose
stopped the chills, and the fever also
disappeared. My life was saved. My
age at this critical time was forty
nine. Lydia e. BOUCHER, Etna, Pa.

STREET RAILWAY WORK
Old Rails are to be Loaded on Cars
Today

The management of the street car com
pany expected to have cars running over
the Main street line by O'Clock this
evening but they will not be able to do
so on account Of running short of joints
The supply that came in the first of the
week by express have all been used and
no more are in sight This is a disap-
pointment TO the street car people, as
they expected to have regular service on
Fairview and on Paramount for, Sunday.
Yesterday the special work al. Murdoch
avenue was put in. The new Paramount
line will leave Main street at this point
and north of there the Main street line
will be single track. Of couI Sc this ar
rangement takes several frogs and
switches. The switches are Of the very
latest standard pathern and like the rails
are made of finch steel Each one
weighs about 1000 pounds. One of the
latest improvements is being used on
the switch which leads from the double
TO the single track. The device is known
as the spring tongue switch. A spring is
attached to the tongue a nd holds it so
that all south bound cars VIII take the
right hand track. When a north bound
car comes along It merely crowds the
tongue over and goes out on the single
track. AS soon as the car is clear the
spring pulls the tongue back to its orig
inal place. The advantage of this ar
rangement is that the spring can be TAX
en- out and south bound cars run on the
left track, or the spring can be changed
so that all cars will run that way With
the old blind switches such as are now
in use on the old line, 1t is impossible to
run a car on the left track. Had it not
been for this old switch al Murdoch ave-
nue. the Main street cars could have kept
on running on the east track while the
west one was being rebuilt.
Two cars will be loaded today with old
rails taken off the pavement. They have
been sold to a St. Louis firm for scrap
iron. They will be melted and rolled into
new rails. Mr.. Lingenfe,ter. Of the State
RefOrmatory board was here yesterday
to look at these old rails with a view Of
buying enough of them to lay thousand
feet Of track which is needed at Hutch
inson to handle the stone for the new cell
house He found these old relics Of for
mer days so badly rusted and generally
worn out that they would no do for even
this temporary work

q careful study of the reform question
that it Is an impossibility to reform
young criminals where they are associat-
ed with hardened and vicious men. The
case in which this law was declared null
and void was that Of a young fellow
about q years of age. This man was
sentenced to the reformatory and proved
to be very vicious and unruly. He as
saulted one Of the guards and nearly
killed him. Soon after this he attempted
to assault another, but did not succeed.
The board at ONE decided that he was
too bad character to have at a reform
school and transferred him to the peni-
tertiary. Hhis friends started a habeas
corpus proceeding to get him out. The
case was first tried before the probate
court of the county from which he was
sentenced. The habeas corpus was grant
ed The reformatory board appealed the
case to the appellate court where the
decision was sustained
In reply to the question as to whether
the reform school was a success. Mr..
Lingenfelter said: 81 am positive that 1t
is fruitful Of good results. I think that
about 50 per cent Of the boys are bene-
flied and the remaining 40 Der cent are
natural born criminals who cannot be re-
formed. There is fellow now in the
institution who is a good example of this
class. He was sentenced for forgery. He
proved to be most tractable young man
and it was not long before he was given
his parole. He had not been out three
months before he was caught in a for
gerry and brought back. He was very
penitent and seemed to regret that he
had ever committed the crime. His be-
havior was as good as it had been be-
fore and he was again Darolled, but was
out only a few weeks before he had
forged a note for $3.50. He seemed heart
broken when brought back and declared
that he left the institution with the in
tention of leading an honest life, but
was unable to control himself"
