the superintendent Ms they flew past

$50 far as the general public is con-
cerned." replied the superintendent. II
don't suppose that mi!eposts are of any
particular benefit The traveller osn tell
by looking oat Of the car window how
far he is from the terminal points, but
III that he Is not greatly interested.
Some people like TO figure out from
the mileposts hsw far they have trav-
ehed or how FAR they have TO 20, and
there are not a few who like 10 time
the speed OF trains by the m.leposts
But that Is not what the posts ARE for
In the office of the division superin-
tendent is profile or diagram showing
the location of every one of these posts.
III an accident occurs, y rail breaks,
car lets down or anything out of the
ordinary happens between stations the
superintendent Is notified of the proX-
unity OF the mishap to some particular
milepost, and thus the spot can be 10
Gated. and men are sent there ut once,
and they can 60 In a hurry, for they
know where the place is. Otherwise
they would have TO move slowly be-
tween stations until the spot was found,
and this means loss OF time much
more valuable than the price of the
mileposts, and II would be pretty hard
to railroad successfully without them"

EnaaRemcnt Extraordinary

On Thursday, (tonight) September
oath, McDorman & Daniels produce
ton of "Ten Nights in Bar Room"
will be given at the Opera House.
This is the greatest moral melodrama
known to the American stage and
the company presenting it is said to
be the best in its east of characters
now before the public. Ten Nights"
like Uncle Toms Cabin, is standard
work which has stood the tests of
years, and is ever welcome when
given by such a capable company.
John b. Cough, thecelebrat,d tenn
perance lecturer, usedsto. say that a
single good production of this Moral
drama made more recruits for tenn
perance than a huadred Of his lee
lures. Besides the east of the play,
there will be several refined vaude-
vile specialists which are introduced
between the acts. The artists in this
line are all first class and give such
Il varied program that in reality the
audience gets two distinct and COM
plete programmes. The prices will
be popular, ranging from t25c to 50e,
with half rates for children. Reserv-
ed seats on sale.at Meserole's drug
store. Our people should not miss
this opportunity even il the notice Of
the performance is so short. This
company is playing to crowded
houses wherever they go.

Those who imagine that the care Of
the teeth and the replacement of the
natural grinders with false ones is
something new under the sun" may
be surprised to learn that artificial
teeth were made OF ivory. placed on
plates of the same ma teiial and held
together and In place by gold wires and
rivets 500 to 1000 years before Christ.
Herodotus, "the father Of history" tells
us that the Egyptians OF the ni,h dy-
nasty understood the diseases OF the
teeth and their treatment There are
several passages In history to lead one
to the belief that both Caesar and An
tony wore artificial teeth.
The date of the Introduction OF false
teeth into Europe is uncertain. They
were known in England as early ut
least as the time of the discovery Of
America. "'rhe Mathematical Jewel"
published In 1885, contains an account
of Sir John Balgrave. who caused all
of hys teethe to he drawuc out and aft

Miss Cannon, Sec'y Detroit

young women what to do to
avoid pain and suffering caused
by female troubles.
Il can conscientiously recommend
Lydia E. Pinkham'S Vegetable
Compound to. those of my sisters
suffering with female weakness and
the troubles which so often befall

general weakness and felt so weary
that l had hard work to keep up. I
had shooting pains and was utterly
miserable. In my distress 1 was adj
vised to use Lydia f.. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound, and it was
a red letter day to me when I took the
first dose, for at that time my reatora-
ton began. In six weeks I was a
changed woman, perfectly we'll in
every respect. I felt so elated and
happy that I want all women who
suffer to get we'll as I did, MISS

1t is clearly shown i'm this
young lady's letter that Lydia E..
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound
will surely cure the sufferings of
women; and VIXEN one considers
that Miss GannOn's letter is only
one of hundreds which we have, the
great virtue of Mrs. Pinkham's medi-
cine must be admitted by ell.

Kn0wledge'of What Ii Best More I'm.

out 1t.

1t must be apparent to every one that
qualities Of the highest order are neces-
sary to enable the best of the products Of
modern commerce to attain permanently
to universal acceptance. However loudly
heralded, they may not hope for worldwide
prominence unless they meet with the
general approval, not of individuals only,
but of the many who have the happy
faculty of selecting, enjoying and learn
ing the real worth of the choicest prod
ucts. Their commendation, consequently,
becomes important to. others, since to
meet the requirements of the we'll in
formed of all countries the method Of
manufacture must be of the most per-
feet order and the combination the most
excellent of its kind. The above is true
not of food products only. but is espe-
cially applicable to medicinal agents and
after nearly a quarter of a century of
growth and general use the excellent
remedy. Syrup of Figs, is everywhere
accepted, throughout the world, as the
best of family laxatives. Its quality is
due not only to the excellence of aAhe
combination of the. laxative n carnskn-
alive principles of plants known to act
most beneficially on the system and pre-
sented in the form of a pleasant and re-
freshing liquid, but, also to the method
Of manufacture of the California Fig
Syrup Co., which ensures that uniformi-
ty n purity essential in a remedy in
tended for family use. Ask any physi-
clan who is well informed and he will
answer at once that it is an excellent
laxative. If at ali eminent in his pro-
.fession and has made a special study of
laxatives and their effects upon the sys-
tenn he will tell you that it is the best
of family laxatives, because It is SIM
pie inc wholesome and cleanses and
sweetens the system effectually, when
a. laxative is needed, without any Eun-
pleasant after-effccts. Every welI-in-,
formed druggist of reputable standing
knows that Syrup of Figs is an excel
lent laxative and is glad to sell It, at
the regular price Of fifty cents per bot
tie, because It gives general satisfac-
ton. but one should remember that in
order to get the beneficial enects Of
Syrup Of Figs 1t is necessary to buy the
genuine, which is sold IN original pack
ages only; the name Of stE4 remedy

A Veterans story.

Bath, N. Y, April l3th:-The first con-
slderation of the Commandant and Officers
in, the conduct, of the Soldiers and Sail
ors' Home here, is the health of the Vet
Grams. Kidney Troubles are the most COM
mon cause of ailment, very few Of the old
men escaping these. in some form Or other.
Of course the comrades do as much as
possible for themselves and one of the
most popular and useful remedies en-
ployed is Dodd's Kidney Pills which seem
to be almost infallible in cases of Kidney
arrangements. Indeed, there are among
the veterans, several who claim to owe
their lives to Dodd's Kidney Pills.
For instance, A. E. Ayers, who came to
the home from Minneapolis, MINI, was
given up by four doctors in that city. He
mad Bright's Disease and never expected
to live through it, but his life was saved
and his health restored by Dodd's Kid
ney Pills.
His experience has. made the remedy
very popular among the men and no one
who has used Dodd's Kidney Pills for any
Kidney Trouble has been disappointed.

like the following are beginning to
creep into the press of this coun-

"Pumpkinvine, April $ (Spl.)
"A large cyclone struck this place
early this morning, completely re-
moving it from the map. Per-
sons who doubt this may look. on
the map and see. An elocutionist
had his front name blown off and a
