ROCK ISLAND PLANS COUP.
May Use the Atchison as Outlet for It's
Pacific Trade.

Officials of the Rock Island system and
of the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe
were in conference discussing details of
the proposed traffic agreement between
the two. The Rock Island people, dis
satisfied with the present arrangements

propose to purchase an interest in the
Atchison large enough to give it repre-
sentation on the board of directors and
to form Il traffic combination whereby
the Rock Island may reach the Pacific
coast independently of the Southern Pa
cifc. AS the proposition does not con
template control of the Atchison, it is
likely to be accepted

A TIqht Squeeze.

Brazils, Ark, May 11th.-To be
snatched from the very brink Of the
grave Is a somewhat thrilling ex-
perience and one which Mrs. M O..
Garrett Of this place has Just passed
through.
Mrs. Garrett suffered with Cere-
bro-Spinal affection, and had been
treated by the best physicians, but
without the slightest improvement.
For the last twelve months two
doctors were in constant attendance,
but she could only grow worse and
worse, till she could not walk, and
did not have any power to move at
all.
She was so low that for the great
er part Of the time she was perfectly
unconscious Of what was going on
about her, and her heartbroken hus-
band and friends were hourly ex-
pecting her death.
The doctors had given up all hope
and no one thought she could pos
sibly live.
In this extremity Mr.. Garrett sent
for a box of Dodd's Kidney Pills 1t
was a last hope, but happily 1t did
not fail.
Mrs. Garrett used in all six boxes
of the remedy, and Is completely
cured. She says.
al am doing my own work now and
feel as well as ever | did. Dodd's
Kidney Pills certainly saved me from
death"
