A NURSES STORY.
A Graduate of Lakeside Hospital, Lake
Geneva, Tells Interesting


Peshtigo, Wis, JAN 26, 1901-(Spe-
cial.)-One of the most popular nurses
that ever graduated from the Lakeside
Hospital, Lake Geneva, is Miss Lillian
Dreese, of this place. Miss Dreese In
the Vice Templar of the Independent
Order of Good Templars, and organist
of the Rebeccas of Peshtigo. During her
twelve years experience as a trained
nurse she has had many opportunities
for observation, and her opinion in all
medical health matters is held in very
high esteem by the thousands who
have learned to know and love her. In
speaking of her experience she says:
During my twelve years as a
trained nurse I have often observed
how many different physicians give
their patients Dodds Kidney Pills in
cases of Diabetes and Kidney Trouble.
About three years ago I myself suffered
some months with a weakness and con-
tinual congested condition, and / de-
cided to try what the Pills would do for
me. I soon found that they built up
the affected parts and restored har-
mony to the entire system, and al
though 1 often lose much sleep and
rest while attending severe cases, !
find that 1 was never in finer health
nor had more endurance than since !
have used these marvellous Pills.
CIergymen say they are good, Sena-
tors and Congressman have added their
evidence as to the wonderful curative
properties of this Medicine, hundreds
of physicians recommend them and use
them in their daily practice. The most
skilled trained nurses advise their use
and use them themselves, while tens OF
thousands of sick and suffering people
are being cured every Gay by Dodd's
Kidney Pills. They should cure you
They will cure you. Trv them.

TRANSC0NTINENTAL SYSTEM.

A New Corporation to be Formed to
Carry the Controlling Interest of
the Individual Companies.
NEW YORK, April S.-The Mail and
Express says:
From people close to Messrs. James
J. Hill and j. Pierpont Morgan it was
learned to-day that there is ground for
the story that a new corporation is be-
ing considered for the purpose of car
rying a controlling interest in the
stocks Of the larger railroad companies
which some have styled the new trans
continental system.
The new corporation, If formed,
would hold shares of the Northern Pa
cifc, Burlington, Erie and possibly the
st. Paul and Great Northern 1t is not
yet settled whether the debentures of
the new company would be issued
against the underlying securities but
this is considered likely. This is the
method pursued in the case of the Rail-
road Securities Company, which was or
ganized by the Hartman people for the
purpose Of handling the Illinois Cen
trail.

this afternoon at Montgomery park,
from John F. Schorr's bay filly, Lady

was added to keep Lady Schorr COM
pany. Siddons the Commander and
Dock Burgess were also scratched,
leaving only six contestants.
The Schorr pair were held at the pro-
hibitive odds of to 8, while to was
chalked against Royal Victor.
After two false breaks, the field sent
away to an excellent start with Royal
Victor head in front of Farmer Ben
nett and the others close up. Farmer
Bennett and Lady Schorr Immediately
raced to the front and with Royal Vic
tor a length away, made the running
to the stretch. At this point Wink
field sent the Hayes colt up to the
leaders and in the run home, he chal-
lenged Lady Schorr. j. Woods, on the
latter, went to the whip, but his ef-
forts were Of no avail, Royal Victor,
well ridden by WINFIELD, winning

not and cannot quote any language in

struction which it has placed upon it.
