END OF aANTI-PAss.
Celebrated Agreement Likely to Be
Abrogated by the Pennsylvania

New York, July 22.-According to
report having free circulation the Penn
sylvania will not be a party next year
tOa renewal of the antipass agreement,
because it has strictly observed it's pro-
visions and other roads have not; and
that in consequence of violations by
other roads of some of its provisions
they have been able to get business
that otherwise would have gone to the
Pennsylvania.
The reasons given can not be success
fully contradicted so far as they apply
to a failure by some lines to adhere to
the agreement in all particulars. If the
report is true and the Pennsylvania
does not change its position, the agree
ment can not be continued, and prob
ably will not be.
While it has had the effect of oblit-
Grating some abuses, it's Indifferent en-
forcement in several instances has been
farcical. The cutting off of railroad
men from free transportation privileges
that were lavishly distributed among
politicians has been anything but con-
road men, through politicians, have OBJ
tanned passes over a foreign road that
were denied in their official capacity as
a matter of exchange. While the agree
ment may be allowed to die, the fact
remains that the trunk lines have sue
ceeded in Kidding themselves of a GER
tain element that for years has beer:
able to load up annually with exchange
passes to which they had not a shadow
of right. So, whatever the ultimate fate
Of the pact, owners and officials of jerk
water roads are off the pass lists and
will be likely to stay off.

A Time Of Anxiety for
Thousands.
PAINE'S CELERY
COMPOUND
Will Danish the Summer Blues
and Other Distresses That
Make Life Miserable
and Unhappy.

This is the season when we hear men
and women complaining about their uh-
happy and half dead condition. They
find that physical and mental energy
has deserted them, and they are sinking
deeply in the pit of dependency.
The hot summer weather always pro-
duces thousands of miserable feeling
mortals They lack nerve force
strength and true vitality. They can
not rest day or night, and life becomes
a burden.
The great recuperator, builder and
strengthener for all weary, wornout and
suffering people is Paine's Celery Com
pound, now SO universally prescribed by
medical men, When the great medicine
is used at this season, languOr, de-
spondency, irritability, nervousness.
sleeplessness, headache, dyspepsia and
digestive troubles are permanently
banished and men and women go about
and energy that indicate health and
physical strength
Mr.. ]. H. Clark, Newark, Del, who
was in a critical condition of health
from troubles extremely common i'll
summer time, writes thus about his
marvellous rescue from death:
When I was attacked with nervous
,roStration l went to one of our local
doctors. 1 continued to grow worse and
consulted other physicians but with very
little apparent good. No tongue can
express nor pen describe my feelings
and sufferings from this terrible di-
sease. After spending considerable
money in the vain hope of being cured,
1 was led to try Paine's Celery Com
abled me to enjoy the health 1 now
have. After the torture 1 experienced
night and day for years, the change is
wonderful"

Accidents in Steeplechase.

Chicago, July 22.-Numerous accidents
marked the opening of the summer
meeting of the Chicago Jockey club at
Harlem. In the steeplechase over the
short course five of the six horses fell
The mare, Queenship, was killed, her
neck being broken in the fall. Jockey
Taylor, who rode Farrell. was badly
bruised but he will recover. When the
accident occurred the horses were
punched with the exception of Iceni, the
extreme outsider, who was nearly d
quarter of a mile behind. The falling
of the others left Iceni master of the
situation and he finished alone. Jock
eys Worthington and Dupee, who escap-
ed injury, remounted Dagmar and
Helen Paxton and finished a length
apart for second money. The feature
event of the day was the Competition
stakes for 2-year-olds, which was won
by Shooting Star. Scratches took
nearly all the interest from the stake,
only five horses facing the flag. Shoot
ing Star was played heavily and won
easily from Esherin, an added starter
The latter, in a determined dash, beat
out Watkins Overton, the favorite, for
place. The stake was worth 5000 to
the winner. In the first race Jockey
Mathews was painfully injured by be-
ing thrown over Ice Kings head.
Mathews was picked up unconscious
and had to be carried to the Jockey
room on q. Stretcher

Guthrie, Okla. July 22.-The Kansas
City, Mexico & Orient Railroad COM
pany announces that 1t will be running
trains through southwestern Oklahoma
within nine months as far as the Red

the railroad company, the governor has
ordered the attorney general to appeal
to the courts from the decision Of the
condemning boards, alleging that the
appraised value allowed the territory
for the lands is too small.
