tracks lead into the through main tracks just
west of Union avenue and these main tracks
have automatic electric block signals every 200
feet from Page avenue to the Union station. The
cars for this shuttle strain service will be espe-
cially constructed for the purpose, having steel
underframes and with seats arranged across the
car, similar to the summer cars in street serv
ice and will have q capacity OF 40 persons to
each car. They will be run in trains of eight or
ten cars. and President Ramsey estimates thatit
will be possible to handle about 25 900 passengers
per hour with these trains.
The shuttle trains can be unloaded very
quickly, as they will have no steps The floor OF
the cars will be on the same level as the plat
forms along the tracks. Passengers will be I'M
loaded on the platforms outside the two tracks,
and will be loaded from the platform between
the two tracks, the entrance TO this center plat
form being between the turnstiles, where passen-
gers will be required to deposit their tickets at
the turnstiles before being admitted TO the plat

The tracks Immediately north OF the shuttle
trains will be used for storing shuttle trains dur

ing the dull hours of the day and also for storing
any special trains or private cars. The five main
or through tracks will be used for the through
and excursion trains. Platforms are also be-
tween these tracks, and passengers getting of
the through or excursion trains will not have to
cross any tracks, but viii descend from the plat
form by short flight of stairs TO the subway
under the tracks at De Baliyiere avenue and ii
Is but few steps across the plaza TO the main
entrance 10 the Worlds Fair grounds.
If it should be decided 20 run any local trains
over the through tracks to Page avenue. and
thence via the Terminal belt road, a large num-
Der OF passengers per hour could be handled that
way. II is the intention 10 run excursion trains
from the East via the Merchants bridge and the
Terminal belt to Page avenue. and thence to the
Fair grounds, and also via the Eads bridge and
Mill Creek valley. and. as stated above. all such
trains win unload or load on the platform be-
tween the main tracks.
Immediately south OF the main tracks and
fronting on the plaza win be the Wabash
terminal station. This will be d commodi-
Gus depot and will consist OF main waiting

in the center, and all the usual toilet rooms,
ticket offices. parcel room and a baggage room,
where baggage will be received for passengers
going TO the nearby hotels, also en- express
office. On the north side of the station and ad-
joining the main waiting room will be located
four classification compartments, which will be
quite unique feature. For instance, at a GER
tain hour there will be scheduled westbound
through or excursion train. A sign will be dis
played over the entrance to one of these COM
partments indicating the track from which the
train will depart, and passengers holding tickets
Tor that train will be admitted to that compart-
ment, and any passengers intending to take
other trains will not be permitted to enter that
compartment When the train is announced the
gate from that compartment will be opened and
passengers will proceed to the platform, and
thence TO their train Thus 1t will be seen that
crowding will be avoided and passengers will
not be allowed to have admission TO any train
they hold tickets.

Work on the Wabash Worlds Fair terminal is
now in progress and will be pushed 10 compile
ton as rapidly as possible. This is an important
undertaking and will call for an outlay of $4,000
on the part of the Wabash company for the sta
ton structure alone President Ramsey has given
much time and thought TO the plan for the ter
minal which is located directly in front of the
main entrance TO the Fair and through which q
very large volume of the seasons traffic Will
pass. In the arrangement OF the tracks due pro-
vision has been made for handling the local, the
through and the excursion business on rapid
schedules. each independently of the other, and
every precaution win be observed for safety
The transit company's terminal loop is TO be To-
Gated north of ali the tracks OF the Wabash at
the Worlds Fair terminal. and as will be seen by
the diagram above, street ear passengers viii
reach the main entrance TO the Fair on broad
plaza passing under the Wabash tracks and thus
avoiding all the danger OF a grade crossing.

free Treatment ON REQUEST

There is no other disease so widespread
as Catarrh. 1t infests nearly every home
and is felt to greater or less degree by
almost all of US at some time during
our lives.
Its ravages are not confined to the nose
alone but it soon affects the Throat and
Lungs, then the Stomach and Liver, and
finally the Kidneys and Bowels become

weakened and broken down by reason OF
the terrible curse of Catarrh. This dis
ease is inhammatory in its nature and Is
very liable to affect the membranes and
tissues of any vital organ or part of the
system and produce results which cause
lifetime of suffering and regret.
Men of science and students of medi-
cine have tried in vain for years to find
positive cure, but it has remained for
one living in our own generation to fin
ally discover what he claims to be GER
tain remedy for Catarrh of any organ of
the body. His claims are vouched for
by the words of hundreds of people whose
honesty cannot be doubted; people who
have suffered for years and tried every
other known remedy without avail;
people who had not faith at first but
were finally cured and convinced of the
wonderful power of this new discovery
in medical science.
The famous physician to whom the
credit belongs for this wonderful devel-
opment and addition to twentieth-cent.
ury science is DR.. j. A. Tomas, 6n5
Fredericksen Bldg, South Bend, Ind.
He will send anyone who is suffering from
Catarrh free treatment TO prove the
merits and wonderful curative properties
of this new discovery. Readers are re-
quested to describe their case when writ
ing to the doctor for the Free Treatment.
II you have any other disease, pain or
afHiction besides Catarrh write the doctor
about It and he will send a free treatment
for that also at the same time he sends
you the Free Treatment for Catarrh.
