May Decline OMer.

Mr.. Francis was aroused from his slum-
bers at midnight and heard the dispatch
from Chicago read. He said he knows
nothing about the matter.
1t has been a matter Of current rail-
road gossip for a long time that Mr..
Francis was to be the man for the Bustls'
succession whenever the passenger trafic
management should be placed in the hands
of one man. Mr.. Francis administration
OF the passenger traffic OF the system under
his control has been most notable. He
has made friends for the road and for him
self by his methods. and his removal to
Chicago will be merely in line with the
, Burlington's policy Of advancing men who
have proved themselves worthy. 1t has
been stated though, that Mr.. Francis will
decline the prefer for the same reason
that Mr.. Holdrege declined to go to Chi
cago when Mr.. Brown Of the Missouri lines
was taken there. At that time Mr.. Hold
rege expressed himself to the effect that
he considered the Burlington west Of the
Missouri the more important Of the two.
and that he preferred being manager Of
the B. & M. to being manager OF the Chi
cago. Burlington & Quincy. While Mr..
Francis has not publicly expressed him
self on this point, his close connection with
Mr.. Holdrege and the perfect harmony
that exists between the two may hold him
to the same conclusion as that reached by
the general manager.

The W zen are all talking about Peruna.
OF course they are. Why should they not?
Peruna is the remedy that cured them. II
they have a cold, Peruna cures them, THEY
found that out by experience.
II they are hoarse or have a cough, they
find Peruna an unfailing remedy. Weak
lungs, and ever the first stages of con-
sumption, Peruna promptly restores, and
then there are a host of women who have a
slight arrangement of the stomach and d.
g~estive organs. All these arrangements
are OF a catarrhal nature. Peruna comes
to the rescue at once. A very short course
Of Peruna is sufficient to put the stomach
right and to make the assimilation of the
food perfect.
But this is not all. This does not ex-
actly explain why the women especially
are talking about Peruna. Men. the same
as women, have found Peruna useful in
the above mentioned ailments. The reason
that Peruna is such a special favorite with
women is something more than all this.
Women ware subject to pelvic catarrh.
This condition has been called all sorts Of
names and is often referred to under the
general phase, female diseases. Peruna
cures these cases. Peruna cures them be-
cause 1t cures catarrh wherever located.
The nature Of most Of these ailments is ca
tarrhal.
Catarrh is liable to attack any organ Of
the body. It is especially liable to attack
one or more organs Of the female pelvis.
No wonder women talk about Peruna. No
