There is always a cause for nervous
ness. This cause should be discovered
and remedied. Nervines are unneces-
Sary. Peruna has cured more cases
of nervousness than any other medi-
cine in existence, simply because it
cures the conditions upon which ner-
vouSness depends.
A Letter From a U. s. Senator's Wife.
Mrs. Verona E. Roach, wife of the
late Senator Roach of North Dakota,
writes from Larimore, n. D.:

TOPEKA MAN IN TROUBLE.
He Was Engaged in a Fight at Leav
enwortIt.

The Leavenworth Times prints the
following story:
Frank Ellison, jr.. a canvasser who
is in the county Jail charged with
threatening to kill John Werley, pro-
prietor of the Star of the West. Eli
son was arraigned on the charge in
the city court yesterday morning,
pleaded not guilty, and his bond was
fixed at $1,000, which he was unable
to furnish. His preliminary trial was
set for this afternoon at o'clock, but
until then he will remain in the county
Jail.
"Ellison and another canvasser
named Francis McAnnary went into
the Star of the West and got into a
card game which resulted in a discus
sion. McAnnary and another fellow
in the place got into a fight and Eli
son walked around as if he had a gun
in his pocket. He was seen to shove
his hand into an inner coat pocket
but just then someone landed on him
and down he went. He was searched
and a razor was taken from him.
Those who were in the place at the
time say they have no doubt but that
Ellison would have drawn the razor
had he not been prevented from do
ing so by quick blow delivered by
a fellow standing beside him.
ELLISON says his home is in Topeka
and that his father was a. sergeant
of police there at one time. He sent

ERIE WANTS PERE MARQUETTE.
Said to Have Secured That Line With
the Zimmerman System.

Chicago, Sept. IA new and start
ling explanation has been offered for
the lately developed strenth in Erie
securities That road is declared to
have purchased the Pere Marquette,
with the entire Cincinnati, Hamilton
& Dayton system. This would more
than double the Fries mileage and
place it among the biggest eastern sys-
TENS so far as its aggregate length is
concerned 1t would give it a total of
5,7S2 miles. 1t would also. strengthen
the Erie very materially, affording it
entrance to a very widely extended ter
ritory, all of which is well settled and
good traffic producing territory
The purchase of this system by the
Erie would bring to an end the rumOrs
that have been in circulation for the
last two or three years, that negotia-
lions were in progress for it's sale to
the Vanderbilts- 1t is a we'll authenti-
Gated fact that an offer of the Pere
Marquette was made to the Wander
bits prior to its consolidation with the
Cincinnati, Hamilton & Dayton, but it
was declined on account of the price
being deemed too high, and the Opin-
be purchased at some future day at q
price considerably less than that at
which the offer was made. Latest de-
velopments, Pere Marquette people
think, may tend to upset that opinion
and show that a mistake was made
when the offer was peremptorily re-
jected.
President Zimmerman of the Cincin-
natl, Hamilton & Dayton last night in
sisted that there was no foundation for
the r1IInOr.

SHOWER OF BLAZING PAINT.
Man, Woman and Baby Are Probably
Fatally Burned.

New York, Sept. 17.-Showered
with blazing paint, a man, a woman
and a baby in a tenement house in
East 120th street have received burns
that will likely prove fatal.
They were Isaac Schuster, a painter;
Mrs. Lena Marks, and her 12-months-
old child.
Schuster accidentally dropped a
blazing match into a bucket of paint.
Flames shot upward from the turpen-
tine, and Schuster started on a run for
the stairs with the bucket. A gust
of wind blew the flames into his face,
causing him to pitch headlong down
the steps. Mrs. Marks with her baby
in her arms was coming up. The
shower of fire fell over them and all
were badly burned.

BOUGHT WHEN LOW.

During the last year there has been
an increase of 900 in the number of
stockholders of Rock Island road COM
mon stock and of 500 of the preferred.
This is about 40 per cent in each class
of securities. Holders of the common
stock now number about 5000 and the
preferred 2.1OO.
In other words, the new securities
created by the formation of the Rock
Island company in 1902 are gradually
being absorbed by the public at large.
None of the 800 new holders of Rock
Island common paid over $25 per share
for his stock. unless he happened to
buy in the day or so last winter when
a traders move carried the stock to p
for a few hours.
Similarly, the new holders of the pre-
ferred stock bought their securities be-
low current prices. 1t may therefore
be stated as a fact that 35 per cent
of the Rock Island company stock
holders own stock which shows them
a profit in the market.
