TYPHOID GERMS.

The microscope shows that in the blood
of every person suffering from typhoid the
little germs can be found as shown above.
They are supposed to get into the water OF
milk we drink. The germs multiply so
that one germ is capable of producing
about one hundred trillion germs in TWEEN
ty-four hours That is why if they ever
get into the water supply of town thew
multiply so fast that nearly everybody
drinking the water comes down with the
disease There are exceptions, however,
and they are the persons whose heakh is
perfect, whose blood is pure and liver
active. When the germs get into healthy
body they are thrown off with the other
poisons. Recent Chicago statistics show
that one-eighth of all the deaths in the
past two years in that city have resulted
from pneumonia.
The best advice we can give is to put the
body into perfectly sound, healthy condi-
ton Be assured that you have rich, red
blood and active liver.
Many years ago DR.. R. V. Pierce, who is
consulting surgeon to the Invalids Hotel
and Surgical Institute at Buffalo, N Y,
found certain herbs and roots which, when
made into an Alternative extract without
the use of alcohol, seemed to be the very
best means of putting the stomach, blood
and vital organs into proper condition
This seemed to him as close to nature s
way of treating disease as it was possible
to go. For over a third of a century Dr.
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery has had
a wonderful sale and the cures resulting
from its use are numbered by thousands.
It IS tissue builder, better than cod liver
oil because 1t does not sicken the stomach,
or offend the taste. It strengthens or
renews the assimilative or digestive pro-
cesses in the stomach and puts on healthy
flesh when the weight of the invalid is
reduced below the normal.
Accept no substitute for ~GoIden Med
ical Discovery" Nothing else is "just as
good"

WHITAMS
IOWA LAW DID 1T.
Why the Railroads Restored the Ship
per's Pass Privilege.

per 5 IdSS 1IlNllcSSs
The announcement of the Chicago, Mil
waukee and St. Paul railroad that it will
issue return transportation to live stock
shippers to all points on its system from
which shipments originate, is due to legis-
lation on the subject by the state of Iowa.
Western railroads last year adopted an
order, which went into effect January l,
abolishing the system of giving return
transportation to stock shippers. This
action was denounced by live stock organ
izations throughout the country, and the
National Live Stock association, at its
annual convention held in Portland, Ore,
last January, made it a feature of its de-
liberations. BY invitation L. A. Allen Of
the L. A. Allen Commission company Of
Kansas City made an address on Rail
road Discrimination Against Live Stock
Shippers"
When the bill became law the rail-
road people of Iowa said it was uncon-
StitutiOnal and announced that they would
contest it in the courts Then the rail
way commissioners and members of the
legislature told them plainly that If they
did that they might look for much more
legislation which would compel them to
do many things which they might not
want to do. The railway people thereup-
on decided to live UP to the law The
Chicago, Milwau kee and St Paul was the
first to comply with the law and doing 50
it cut loose from the agreement entered
into January 1. All the other western
roads have practically agreed to return
to the old system of giving return trans
portation to all live stock shippers.

the Chicago & Northwestern and other
western roads in the matter of fur
nishing return transportation on live

This action concluded a movement
on the part of western and transcon-

GOVERNMENT INTERESTED.
May Investigate Santa Fe Wreck in
Which Soldiers Were Killed.

Which Soldiers Were Killed.
San Bernardino, Cal, May. ST
| Coroner Pittman will swear out the COM
plants, I will prosecute those cases,
said District Attorney Sprecher yester-
day, in reply to a question as to what
was to become OF the charges of crimi
nal negligence brought against the
train crew that was responsible for the
collision near Needles Sunday week, il
which two soldiers lost their lives.
As a matter of fact, the bare facts
of that neglect have hardly a parallel
in railroad annals. Six men had read
the orders for the special to stop a few
miles out of Needles, and the engineer
and four others forgot them, running
past without stopping, while the sixth
man was on his way through the train
to talk to the conductor about it, whea
the crash came. And at the inquest.
none OF the trainmen admitted that
they had misunderstood the orders.
They had forgotten.
Whether the government is looking
up the case, with a view to taking i
hand is question that Coroner Pitt
man is uncertain about, but the San
Francisco officers are asking a number
of questions The latest message 10
the coroner on the subject follows:
San Francisco, Cal, April 20, 1904.
DR.. Pittman, Coroner: Receipt Of
your telegram of this date is ac-
knowledged. Can you supply, if not
Incompatible with your official obliga-
tions, a copy of the evidence and pa
pers submitted to the jury, upon which

part of the train crew of the second
section of No. to obey orders? Vouch-
ers for copying, sealing and notarial
fees viii be paid by chief quarterma3-
ter at San Francisco.
WILLIAMS,
Assistant Adjutant General.
The coroner has little to furnish in
response to this request. When called
to the desert he was not notified of the
character of the accident, and did not
take a stenographer with him. Conse-
quently, he has no report of the testi-
mony, although Superintendent Denair
had the testimony taken down for his
own use But that is not accessible to
the coroner, at least not now.
He has sent a certified copy of the
verdict, and also such other material
as he could supply.

County Morgue Unidentified.

Chicago, Jan. by their own evi
dence, given yesterday before Monroe
Fulkerson, who is conducting the fire
department investigation into the Iro-
quois theater horror, the proprietOrs
of the theater showed that a worse
condition of affairs existed than had
heretofore been thought possible.
The greatest loss of life was in the
first and second balconies, where hun
dreds of people were suffOcated
through inability to get out and were
trampled to death while trying to do
so. Had the three exits in each bal
cony been available, according to In
spector FulkersOn, the loss of life
must have been greatly diminished.
From figures obtained yesterday it
became evident that almost One-third
of the people who attended the mat
inee lost their lives. The percentage
was a trifle over 81. The theater seats
1, 600 people and in addition to these.
$50 we're admitted after all the seats
were sold, making total of 1872 peo-
pie in the theater, of whom 591 were
killed.
