WORLDS GREATEST SYSTEM.
The FriscO-ROck Island Railroad
system Acquires Control of the
SeabOard Air Zine.

New York, Aug. 14.-Once more the
railroad map of American has been
redrafted.
The Seaboard Air line has lost it's
identity as an Independent system, and
the Rock Island has emerged as the
controlling interest in the new n
ship.
This most recent afi!.ation, which
includes a perfect understanding with
the Mexican Central, makes the Rock
Island by far the largest railroad sys-
TEN in the western hemisphere, having
a voice in the policy governing 1927
miles of railroad.
New interests which now dominate
the Seaboard Air line are The st. Louis
G. San Francisco railroad, owned by
the Rock Island, the Me: lean Central
railroad and Ladenburg, Talmann &
Co, bankers, who represent the former
controlling interest in The Seaboard,
and also the fiscal agents of the Mex
lean Central.

McADDIE.

The number of foreign immigrants
TO this country last year exceeded the
record. This year promises to go still
farther in excess of any previous re-
ceipt of foreigners. Spring is the
usual beginning of a large immigra-
ton, and the month of March has
ushered in the season with a prob
able excess of 20, 900 above all pre-
vious records.
For two reasons the subject is be-
coming one of the most anxious inter-
est. The immigrants are principally
Southern Europeans, who assimilate
more slowly than any others, and as
they soon become citizens, their lack
OF knowledge OF and perhaps respect
our political institutions makes them
an unsympathetic increment to our

immigration. 1t is well to look the
matter in he face. Given, anywhere
in the world, a wage schedule from
two to ten times in excess of wages
every where else, with freedom of in
gIess, and nothing can stop the flow
OF humanity toward the point of high
est wages.
We are in that fix. Wages here have
always exceeded those elsewhere paid,
and the excess has increased rather
than diminished. The universal law
of equalization finally dominates such
a situation. Given freedom of ingress

So uniformly successful has DR.. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription proven in all forms
of Female Weakness, Prolapsus, or Failing
of Womb, and Leucorrhea, that, after over
a third of a century's experience in curing
the worst cases of these distressing and
facilitating ailments, DR.. Pierce now feels
fully warranted in offering to pay $500 in
cash for any case of these diseases which
he cannot cure.
IT STANDS ALoNE.-The vFavorite Pre-
scTiption" stands alone, as the one and
only remedy for these distressingly com
mon forms of weakness, possessed of such
positively specific curative properties as to
warrant its makers in proposing, and
binding themselves to forfeit, as the pro
prietors of that wonderful remedy here
by do, to pay the sum of $500 in legal
money of the United States in any case of
the above diseases in which after a fair
and reasonable trial of our treatment, we
fail to cure. No other medicine for
the cure of woman's peculiar ailments is
backed by u a remarkable guarantee
no other medicine for woman's ills is pos
sessed of the unparalleled curative prop
critics that would warrant its manufacturers
in making such an offer no other remedy
has such a record of cures on which to base
such a remarkable offer.
