Trasklin Miles, M. D., LII. B., the Gel.
ebrated Chicago Specialist, Will
L. Send $3.75 Worth of His
r. New Treatment Free.

Whenan Observation-Disclosures
When an experienced physician of
fers to give away $4,000 worth of a
New Treatment for diseases of the
heart, nerves, stomach Or dropsy, it is
conclusive evidence that he has great
faith in it. And when hundreds of
prominent people freely testify to his
unusual skill and the superiority Of
his New Personal Treatment, his lib
crafty is certainly worthy Of serious
consideration.
That DIR. Miles is one Of the world s
most successful physicians is proven
by hundreds of testimonials from
well known people. One patient cur
ed after failure Of eleven Grand Rap
ids physicians, two after being given
up by six and seven Chicago physi-
clans, another after nine leading doc
tors in New York City, Philadelphia
and Chicago failed.
The eminent Rev. w. Bell, ID. d.,
of Dayton, O., Gen. Sec'y of Foreign
Missions, writes editorially in The
State Sunday School Union: awe
desire to state that from personal ac-
quaintance we know DIR. Miles to be
a most skillful specialist, man who
has spared neither labor nor money
to keep himself abreast of the great
advancement in medical science.'
Mr.. J. S. Gent, of Hartford Block,
indianapolis, was entirely disabled
for business for IA months from
head, heart, and stomach troubles.

care of many physicians without any
permanent benefits, before applying

years before taking DR.. Miles pecial
Treatment for enlargement Of the
heart, severe pain, smothering spells,
headache and prostration, my case

physicians in the larger cities. He

Indiana Shippers Declare
That Railroads Are Not
Giving Fair Deal.
THEY MAKE AN APPEAL
The Legislature Will Be Asked to
Provide a Way For Correction
of Evils Complained Of
Representative Shippers Effect an
Organization to Enforce
Their Rights.

indianapolis, April 23.AIn meeting
persistence, a hundred representative
shippers from all parts of Indiana ef-
fected an organization at the board of
trade building for. campaign in favor
of state railroad commission and the
betterment of shipping conditions in
this state.
The conservatism of the members
did not prevent great enthusiasm,
which increased until the climax was
reached with the adoption of set OF
ringing resolutions, which were adopt
ed unanimously. The campaign just
started is regarded by the members
as no mere flash in the pan, but as a
steady, businesslike attempt to get
what Is so badly needed. Among other
things the resolutions declare: THAT
we believe the rights of the public
should be better protected and that we
have reached time in the history of
our business growth and development
when it is necessary to appeal to the
only power available, the Legislature
of this state, for the correction Of ex-
listing difficulties and the general SUI
pervision of the railroad traffic, to the
end that the interests of the public
may be protected and conserved, that
the railroads may be required to fur
nish the reasonable and proper service
contemplated in their charters and the
| exercise of their corporate rights as
carriers under the laws"

Herbert Spencer considers that the
taste for music, which IL largely emo
uonal, is in so full sense test of
character that II IL Inherited with Gu
mulative intensity by successive gen
erations. This naturally leads US on
to the conclusion that races are more
intimately affected by It's charms than
individuals.
To take a particular instance, we can
but notice that the Germans, who,
with few exceptions, aro musical to
their finger tips, are In consequence
notable for habitual cheerfulness and
for other moral qualities which give
tone to their domestic life.
We may notice, on the other hand,
that a love OF music does not neces'
sarily go with artistic sense or strength
Of character. The Russians are most
musical. but they have not. az u rule,
any marked appreciation OF art while
the japanese, whose delicate instinct
for art III proverblal are but little In
duenced by music. NerO's devotion to
his fiddle and Napoleon's indifference
to music are also instances that there

note from Alicei He put down rne tel
egram and opened the note. When he
had read It, departing still more from
his usual habits, he swore again, this
time very strongly
He handed the letter to Bob. and Bob
read aloud, slowly and carefully:

rear end to the officers. 1 knew they'd
wire to Boston, but was on to their
tricks, and l carried in my suit Gse all
the rigging for a tailor maid, plus the
golden braid to hang adown my back"
I've had a proposing acquaintance with
most of the girls at Hinkley Heights. and
the fair Alice didn't escape. To soften her
refusal. she told me she had given her
heart to another when she was only fif-
teen, and the early conqueror still held the
fort. l managed to find out the whole
thing and was shown your photo. which
has the place of honor In her den. l
didn't know then the use I'd make OF the
knowledge / was afraid to trust to the

1t was a brilliant scheme to be met at the

history TO carry my part with you all
right, all right.
I inclose a dollar bill. Please buy some
good cigars for our friend Bob.
I'm telling you of the cinoh you've got

you've done me. Alice Ia a peach, but she

very best. and think you're 1t. Yours

groaning still more.

A RACE.

sfhe s:ory is told that there was
foot race three miles west Of Cor
wallis, Saturday, that had disastrous
ending for one of the sprinters.
The parties were Bert Read and
Charley Witham. aud the finish of
the race was at certain bridge to-
wards which the two were headed.
It seems that Read reached the
bridge first, that he fell, and that
Witham fell on him. Red was
picked up unconcious, with severe
cash in the side of his head, and
was taken to his parents home
north of Corvallis that evening.
When consciousness returned, Bert
could not recall any of the events of
the day on which he was injured,
and whether he will regain his
memory or not is a matter of con-
lecture. A physician was called to
dress the wound, snd it is not pro-
bable that any more serious resu Its
will follow the accident.

ment of what seemed to be almost
myriads of big fish. The. expres-
sion of an eyewitness to the phe-
nomenon is that the water was so
much disturbed that it almost
'seemed to bill The doings of
the strange visitors finally attracted
the attention OF everybody in the
neighborhood, and many plans
were undertaken to solve the mys-
terry of the new run of fish. The
latter seemed in general to be of the
size and somewhat in shape like a
II or IS pound silverside salmon,
only perhaps more slender. They
operated only in the night time,
and their presence was undiscover-
able by day. They seemed in the
main to be chasing smaller fish. and
as they shot in large numbers rack
and forth through the water at
great speed, the disturbance was
no iceable for a considerable dis
tance. Attempts to trap or to catch
them by use OF bait failed. and re-
sort was had 10 shooting at them.
Every device, however, failed and
during the two or three weeks the
strange run Of fish remained in the
river, not one was captured for
