Two physicians treated me, one OF them
for two months Nothing helped me in
the least. never slept more than ten
or fifteen minutes at a time. was bed
fast, and had to lie on one side all the
time. 1 used TO wish for death, to de-
liver me from such torture.
"A friend suggested Dodds Kidney
Pills, and after had used them week
began to improve, and In about four
weeks could sit up in bed. A few days
later walked a quarter of a mile and
back. 1 now do al my own cooking and
house work. The pain has entirely left
me. and lam a well w oman. l have ta-
ken altogether sixteen boxes OF Dodd's

PROSPECTIVE aQo CHANGES.
Double Track Complete From Chi
caRo to Omaha.


Ottunlwa. May At is announced in
this city on high authority that there
will be several important changes in the
Burlington divisions as soon as the new
double track in the vicinity of Creston
is completed. This will give the Bur-
lington an entire double track between
Chicago and Creston. Ottumwa is to
lose it's freight division, but under the
new arrangement will be made the pas
senger division point between Chicago
and Omaha. and will gain in passengers
what 1t loses in freight. The new dou-
Bile track will be completed by next win
ter, when these changes are announced
to take place. Burlington officials in this
city refuse to deny or affirm the report.
In keeping with the progress of the
times the Burlington company will be
doing what all other roads are doing,
eliminating as many division stations as
possible and lengthening out it's divis-
ions. In keeping with this the work of
changing the divisions is begun at Chi
cago. Passenger crews will be run from
Chicago TO ottunwa. diytance Of 2s1
