Notwithstanding the fact, however, that
the firm has so many orders ahead, there
is a present lull in the placing of orders
for locomotives that may be a forerunnsr
of duh times to come. a member of the
firm when asked concerning the situation
at present, said
We are receiving no orders for iocomo-

from placing orders that this time.

A Letter From Julia MarIowe.

In a recent letter to The Peruna Med
line Co., Miss Julia Marlowe of New
York City, has the following to say of
Peruna:
Il am glad to write my endorsement
of the great remedy. Peruna, as a nerve
tonic. l do so most heartily. Julia
Marlowe.
Nervousness is very common among
women. This condition is due to ane-
mic nerve centers. The nerve centers
are the reservoirs of nervous vitality.
These centerS become bloodless for want
of proper nutrition. This is especially
true in the warm season. Every sum-
mer host of invalids are produced as
the direct result of weak nerves.
This could be easily obviated by the
use of Peruna. Peruna strikes at the
root of the difficulty by correcting the
digestion. Digestion furnishes nutri-
ton for the nerve centers. Properly
digested food furnishes these reservoirs
of life with vitality, which leads to
strong, steady nerves, and thus nourish-
es life.
The unsolicited praise that Peruna re-
ceives surely proves that Peruna is
without an equal as a nerve tonic and
vital invigorator.
Thousands of testimonials from wo
men in all parts of the United States
are being received by DR.. Hartman
every year.
Buy a bottle of Peruna. If you do
not receive all the benefits from Peruna
that you expected, write to DR.. Hart
man, Columbus, o.

seven miles. causing a great deal of in
convenience and added expense. Not
only this but they are compelled 10
transfer all the baggage to the Mis-

Santa Fe is not allowed to carry it on
their own passenger trains.
The Santa F'e officials have been con-

but not until this morning were meas

work will be rushed and the railroad
built at once. Every Santa F'e train

track at that place, continued 10 the
foothills and took a SOutherly dlrectlon

mel. The farmers in the flooded section
will suffer considerable, as nearly all
the land between Mesquite and Anthony

stroving of many fine stands of alfalfa
and other crops.
The river has been a source of an
novance and aggra walton to the railroad
company. and the travelling public for
the past several years. There has been
no train from FL PaSo for week, ana

more before traffic can be resumed Inc
