A GREAT IMPROVEMENT.
Natures Ways Often Hard to
Understand.
Mans Best Gifts Disguised by Disa-
greeable ExteriOr-It Takes Science
to Reveal Nature Mt Her Best.

In many ways nature is all right just
as she is, and when the hand of man
attempts to improve upon her works,
botchy job, to say the least, often re-
suits.
There are, however. a great many
instances where bv a little human help,
Natures best gifts are doubly enhanced
in value and brought forth from obscur-
turv to be known as one of progress.
There is nothing in the way OF dis
covery that will prove Of greater benefit
anee Of this part of America in partieu-
lar, than Vinoi, which represents an
old and valuable remedy introduced in
a new and practical form. Vinol is be-
ing hailed by physicians and patients
alike as glorious intervention of Prov
idence fof annihilating certain diseases
of wasting nature and prolonging life,
and its discovery is fitting climax,
coming as it does at the end OF of CEN
fury that will go down into history as
remarkable for its advancement.
Vinol, as it is sold today, is fast be-
coming what all other great inventions
soon become, positive necessity that
existed without it..
Cod liver oil, on account of the pecu-
liar medicinal properties which it con-
tains, has been known to science for
years as the most efficient of all specifics
for throat, lung and bronchial troubles,
and al! wasting diseases. The layman,
however, has appreciated the fact as
forcibly as the professional. that this
same remedy was often rendered prac-
tically useless on account OF its disagree
able odor and taste, until it began to APP
peared as though cod liver oil might
eventually be omitted from the Phar-
macopoeia.
The invention of Vinol has saved this
wonderful medicine, not as We have
known it, to be sure, but in its new
form. which is nothing more or less
than the identical, potent, remedial fac
tors that have made the Gods liver fa-
nous. This new discovery consists only
in finding a way of extracting the eura-
tive principles of the cod liver, which
once obtained are dissolved in mild i,
delicious and delicate table wine,
And so to us is given this old remedy
in its new form, doubly efficient, abso-
lutely tasteless, and denuded of its
greatest and most serious objection, the
fatty matter itself, which has always
precluded the use of cod liver oil in
cases where the digestive apparatus had
become weakened. Vinol is with US to
stay, and to do good as yet is incalcul-
able. Mr.. w. A Ream, our leading
druggist, is interested in Vinol.

A CORRECTION,
Mr.. Smith Was Only Fined $50 and
His Mother Did Not 20 his Security.

Mr.. Walter Smith, who was tried
and convicted at the last term of
court of assaulting August Boehler,
desires the New DOMINION to correct
statement which appeared in its
columns on Friday, October 30.
After giving the details of the case,
the story concluded: "Smith was
fined $25 and cost. He did not have
the money, and his mother went his
security" The facts in the case
are that he was fined $40 and cost,
the whole amounting to about $50,
and his brother-in-law, Sam Hayes,
went his security short time ago.
The fine was not imposed until
November 4. The mistake occur
red through misinterpretation of
the circuit clerks notes and a sug-
gestion as to the amount of the fine
made by an attorney in the case.
The case was up in lcourt October
20 and again on October %.

THE NEW YORK WORLD
Thrice. Edition Read Wher-
ever the English Language is Spoken.

The Thrice-a- Week World long ago
established itself in public favor, and
it is now recognized as the strongest
publication Of its kind in the United
States. Advertisers and publishers
seeking clubbing combinations-and
they know best-universally testify to
this. 1t is widely circulated in every
State and Territory Of the Union, and
even in remote South Africa and on
the gold fields in the deserts Of Aus
tralia. These are the things that tell.
Next year we have the Presidential
campaign, In which all Americans are
deeply interested. Already the issues
are being discussed and the two great
parties are preparing for the first
moves. You will not want to miss
any details, and if you subscribe now
your years subscription will cover the
campaign from beginning to end.
The Thrice-a- Week World is abso-
lutely fair in its political news. Par
tisan bias is never allowed to effect its
news columns, and Democrat and Re-
publican alike can obtain in its pages
truthful accounts of all the great po-
litical contests.
In addition TO all the news, the
Thrice a. Week World furnishes the
best serial fiction, elaborate market
reports and other features OF interest.
The Thrice-a- Week Worlds regular
subscription price is only 81 90 per
year, and this pays for 1856 papers.
We offer this unequalled newspaper
and The Weekly NEW DOMINION to-
gether one year for $500
The regular subscription price OF
the two papers is $3.50.

tiers.
well see that the Union Utility
company has backed down from its
position about the damage part of
its contracts, SAID a business man
this morning. Have you ever read
the contracts2e
There may be other things in
them which need investigating.
W hat, for instance. is meter burner?
Is it a meter? Does the company
want to force its customers to begin
to use meters? | understand they
have recently placed IN stock several
wagon loads of meters.
Another thing which think the
council should investigate is the
over charge which is made on every
gas bill which have examined. The
company pretends to give discount
if their bills are paid on or before
the tenth of each month in advance.
'But they don't do it. When you
have paid your gas bill just look at
the items and you will find that you
have been charged $1.75 for cook
stoves and so on, rs cents extra on
every thing and this extra has been
cut of. But what is the result?
Why you have paid the highest
prices allowed by the franchise
under which the company is acting
even If you do pay in advance.
IF you don't pay before the tenth
they charge you more than the ex-
IRENE limit oil charges as laid down
In their franchise. / know this is
true because | have several bills paid
by young man who consulted me
about the matter. He was sick this
summer and fell behind ON his pay
ments. He was charged $l.75 for
his cook stove every month although
the charter expressly says that the
limit shall be $50 and does not
provide for fines to be collected for
non payment.
"They have wilfully and knowing
violated the provisions Of their
charter and it may be that suit
Will be brought to set aside the
charter ON this ground.
''Then look at the charge for gas
lights. They allege that the fran
chise which refers to lights only
refers to private families. They may
then raise the rates for stoves which
are used in public offices, stores,
factories and other public places.
This claim is entirely too thin.
81, in company with many other
citizens, honor the company for what
they have done for the town but we
don't want to be so thoroughly done
by the company to pay them for
their achievements.
People should read the agreement
and should weigh carefully every
word of it as it all means something
and Is not put there to fill up. 1t is
put there for purpose"
This paper will state for the benefit
of all concerned that meter burners
are nothing more or less than the
ordinary burners which have been
in use over town since gas was in
troduced.

Street Car Strike in Chicago
May Be Settled in Peace
able Manner.
MAYOR HARRISON is SANGUINE
Army Of Police Still Assist in operat-
ing Trains-company Determined
to Break Strike if Possible, Not
withstandins Peace overtures.

Chicago, Nov 18.-Peace negotia-
lions looking to an amicable settle
ment of the struggle between the man
agement of the Chicago City railroad
and it's striking employees We're begun
and the indications are that both sides
of the controversy will agree TO sub
nit their differences to arbitration.
After conference which lasted seY-
eral hours between Mayor Carter i.
Harrison, the officials of the company
and the special aldermanic peace CON-
mission appointed by Mayor Harrison
at the direction of the city council,
followed by another meeting by which
President Mahon of the Amalgamated
Association of Street Railroad En-
ployes and his legal advisers took
part, Mayor Harrison declared that
the outlook for settlement of the
strike by arbitration was decidedly
flattering
Another Conference to Be Held.
II was agreeably surprised at the
conciliatory attitude displayed by both
sides of the controversy said he 'and
we made more progress at our first
meeting than I had anticipated.
He declined to enter into the de-
but it is said that a further conference
with the railway officials was arrang-
ed for.
The object Of the meeting was to
bring the two sides to a point where
arbitration is possible. This the mayor
believes has been accepted.
The representatives of the railroad
company present were H. G. D. Ham
ilton, Consul E. R. Bliss and Joseph
Letter director. The strikers inter
ests were represented by President
Mahon of the Amalgamated Assoeia-
ton of Street Railway Employees,
Clarence barrow, attorney for the
miners during the settlement of the
coal strike last year and ex-Judge
Prentiss.
viii Renew Efforts to Break Strike.
Despite the promising outlook for a
peaceable anding of the trouble in the
near future, the management of the
road will renew their efforts to break
the strike Announcement was made
that an effort would be made to open
another of the branches of the system.
The attempt will be made on the elec-
trio line running through Indiana ave-
nue., and if successful will make q
total of three branches that have been
opened for traffic since the inception
of the strike last Thursday.
The other important developments
in the strike were: A bill filed in the
superior court asking that a receiver
be appointed for the Chicago City Rail-
road company and challenging the
company's right to operate its lines,
on the ground that its franchises ex-
pired last July and that the 99-year
act claim is invalid. Five trains con
sisting of grip car and trailer" each

cable line under guard of l 1000 police.

NEEDED NO ASSISTANCE.
States Attorney Goodwin Could
Handle Negroes Case.
FURRY in Squire's Court-Hearing of
Evans Reid Occupied Day and Half
Defendant Says 1t Was Friendly
Seuffie-Justiee' Decision.

Defendant says III was FFlehalt
Seuffle-Justiee' Decision.
The trial of Evans Reid charged
with assaulting and attempting to
rape Ida Cranshaw at the Hote.
MADEIRA last Friday evening has
stretched far into the second day.
1t began before Squire Shoemaker
Yesterday morning at ten O'Clock,
and the remainder of the day was
spent IN taking the evidence of the
State. This was not finished until
this morning.
A furry of more than ordinary
severity was caused in the justice
shop during the trial wien an at
Tempt was made to bring M. Pope
Theodoroff into the case TO assist
Mr.. Goodwin in the prosecution.
This was done when the trial re-
opened after the noon recess. Ed
Cranshaw, the father of the girl, who
is vitality interested in seeing the
defendant convicted asked Mr.. Theo-
doroff to assist the prosecutor, 1t
seems. Mr.. Goodwin deemed him
self wholly capable of conducting
a preliminary hearing before a JUS
tice, for the state, and resented Mr.
Theodoroff' entrance as an uuwar
ranted intrusion and an imputation
on his ability and devotion to his du-
ties as States counsel
Mr.. Theodoroff insisted on being
allowed to question the witnesses
and Mr.. Goodwin claimed his assist
ance would have to be limited to
suggestions. The point was holly
argued, AMI Mr.. Goodwin finally de
clared that if Mr.. Theodorotf was in
the case, he was out of it. He got
his hat and coat and started to leave,
when the justice ruled that Mr..
Theodoroff would have to eonfine
his assistance to suggesting ques-
lions and points of evidence to the
chief counsel. This he refused to
do. and Mr.. Goodwin continued he
case alone.
Little evidence was introduced by
the defense. Reid said he and the
girl were playing cards and the en-
counter which led to the charge
against him was nothing more than
q friendly scuffie. lie denid striking
the girl, although two witnesses
testified that he did.
Arguments were made by Col.
Frazer and Bryan Gordon for the
defense and by States Attorney
Goodwin for the prosecution. Squire
Shoemaker sent the prisoner back to
Jail, and took time to consider as to
whether he would hold him for the
grand jury or not.
At two o'clock this afternoon
Squire Shoemaker decided to mold
Reid under $500 bond for the Cir
cult Court.
