DANGERS A5o.5ED 5o BE IN OCTOBER.

E DURING the warm summer monthl the skin has been freely throwing of the impurities of the body 1T the form of precipitation. THE cool days and cooler night of October, in a measure, stop ths action of the skin.
 IMPURITIES which heretofore were thrown off by the akin mnst And some outlet They should be excreted by the kidneys. A GREAT STRAIN is thus thrown upon the kidneys They arc not always prepared for this increased labor, They break down. THE P0ISoEs passing through the kidneys serve to irritate them, and this condition soon develops iato serious ailments among them Bright's Disease.
 THE LIVER, too, acts in sympathy with the kidneys. It becomes de- ranged, causing sallow skins, de. precision of spirits and lassitude. AN ABNORMAL CONDITION of the bowels also presents itself. Constipation and other bowel troubles result.
  THE blood becomes poisoned by the retained excretions. Pimples blotches, muddy complexions are the first result and finally the whole system becomes deranged. COLDS are very easily caught dur ing this depleted condition of the system.
 AT THIS TINE the kidneys, liver and bowels need Q little en. couragement, a little assistance that is all.
 PE-RU-NA gives just this assis. tance. It gently stimulates these organs to increased function Thus Peruna guards against tho possibilities of disease. PEOPLE INCLINED TO WEAK, NESS of these organs ought to be especially careful during thii month.
 
 AT THE FIRST SIGN of disease such as pufHness under the eyes sall0w skin, backache, colds, and 90 forth, Peruna should be taken IF YOU NOTICE any of the above symptoms, do not delay, buy a bottle of Peruna to-day. 4 bottle of Peruna taken at the first symptom will do more good than a dozen bottles later on when serious ailments have developed.

Nc Lack of Candidates for the Ftelo
 Onicea

Anniston. Oct. 5.--(Special )--The resignation of Colonel E u. Hirdou of which there is little doubt but that it will be accepted, gives room for more talk among the politicians of the offi- eers of the srd Regiment. Alabama Ma tionaI Guard. Since the resignation it is very likely that there will be an order to vote for Colonel of the regiment at the same time. October IS, as the date set for the electfon of a Lieutenant Colonel. 1t is now current that move will be made 10 push up" the officers of the regi- ment thereby eiectiIsy Major ]. L.Dan- tais of Anniston. Colonel. and Major simpson of Florence, Lieutenant Col onet. This would cause vacancies for two rnajorities and Captain D. H. Smith of Oxford. senior captain of the regiment, would thus be entitled to g. majority with Captain Lucien Brown of Birmingham, who stands next in se- uiority. Captain W. n McKieroy of Anniston, Is not a candidate for Col- onel. but 1t is understood that if he Is elected he will accept the command.
 Over thirty out of thirty-five officers of the regiment have agreed with friends of Captain McKleroy to vote for his election to the coioneicx 1t is claimed, so that if these officers keep their words there will be only a few votes left for another candidate. It Is thought a light will be made on Cap tain McKleroy on account of the sup port of the Birmingham officers who are known to be Hfsdon sympathizers. while the anti-Higdon faction are leading the anti MeKleroy movement. Should the order not be received to elect colonel 1t is we'll understood that Major Daniels will oppose Captain Kennedy for the Lieutenant Colenelcy Major Daniels says that he is not in the race but 1t is known that he has spent several days in Birmingham this week in which he has not been idle In his personally conducted" campaign. \
 Captain D. H. Smith, who is quite active in behalf of Captain McKleroy and Captain Kennedy. Is reported as being after an appointment as req son for his activity. To this he says that he Is working for the good of the regiment and expects no reward ex- cept to see good men in charge of af- fairs in the regiment and prefers to command his company, one of the best in the state. than to be Colonel of a regiment.

CONQUEST OF TROLLEY

Hollands New York Special to Chicago
 Record Herald.
 w tthsn q few days. not later than november 1, an excursion can be made from New York City to Boston by elec- tric line. and even from Philadelphia 70 Boston with no other break than that Of the ferry across the Hudson. 50 while the great metropolitan district which stretches from Manhattan almost unbroken now to Philadelphia. cover Ing much of Northern New Jersey, has been within the last five years com- pietely electrified. so to speak, so, too, that other metropolitan district stretch ing away from New York to New Ha- ven is under the dominance of the troll ley, and electricity can carry not only intelligence from New York to Boston, but also passengers
 The policy of the railroad managers Of the East. with the exception of that of the far-sighted directors of the Pennsylvanfa, has changed greatly within i've years with respect to the trolley lines. The Pennsylvania policy has not changed because, while 1t was the first formal policy adopted, it was also the best..s and has been in great measure followed by other railway
 
 The Pennsylvania management un- doubtedly saw that vast and possibly dangerous problem was presenting it. self to them through the building of many paralleling trolley lines. steadily and surely expanding and pointing in- evitably to unified system between .Philadelphia and New York. These electric roads were eating into the very profitable interurban traffic between New York and Philadelphia.
 Possibly not since the days of Pres ident Cass and of Colonel Scott was there raised in New Jersey so moment ous question for the Pennsylvania system. When MT. Cass was President of what Is known now as the Pittsburg, Fort Wayne and Chicago system and Colonel Scott of the Pennsylvania, profitable reciprocal traffic agreements were made. involving as they did the enormous through traffic from the sea coast to the lakes and between the intermediate points But President cass was nightly disturbed because at the time of payment of his railroads share in these traffic receipts, Colonel Scott insisted upon subtracting a. cer- tain sum for terminal facilities at Jer- sey' City. These terminal charges were only cents on the dollar. Of course friction arose, and 1t was only termi- mated by the determination of the Pennsylvania to lease and thus wholly to control the Pittsburg. Fort Wayne and Chicago system. It Is not known to the public that the disagreement as to terminal charges at New York har- Dor, 5 cents on each dollar, brought about the uhification of the Pennsylva- mia with its great feeder, the Fort Wayne system.
The Montgomery advertiser., 1904-10-06

1t was in similar spirit that the Pennsylvania management undertook to solve the problem created by the build ing of trolley lines from the Hudson across New Jersey But instead of an- tagonizing or entering into a cut-throat competition, the Pennsylvania manage ment realized fully that this new agent of transportation had come to stay, that 1t was to grow to giant proportions, ul- timately proving of greater magnitude even than the steam railway systems, So that treaty of peace involving cer- tain purchases, certain concessions, cer- tain profitable arrangements was ent- cred into and thereby the problem was solved.

President Meilen has gone a great step beyond any taken by President Clark, his predecessor. For Mr. Mel lens views seem to be in perfect sym pathy with that taken some years ago by the Pennsylvania management and more recently by the New York Gen. tral. These trolley lines cannot be all lowed to be competitors They must be feeders of. and fed by the great steam lines. and they must for that reason be under the control of the greater steam system. So in Southern New England great financing is under way involving the control, of existing trolley lines by the New Haven, and the con- struction of new ones. It is through the fostering care of the New Haven system that the gap in the line of cleo tric railroads between New York and Boston Is now almost perfected. so that within two or three weeks it will be possible to ride by electric cars from New York to Boston, much of the way paralleling the New Haven line. The electric system that dominates New Haven and the equally large city of Worcester, Mass, are now almost who'll ly in the control of the New Haven corporation. through a subsidiary com pany created more easily to facilitate the direction and the financing of these various trolley lines.
 In all probability too, at an early date, a railroad stretching from the Connecticut River at Middleton to Wa terbury, passing through the very heart of the State of Connecticut, and now operated as a steam railroad will be equipped with the third rail.
The Montgomery advertiser., 1904-10-06

President Meilen of the New Haven Railroad system, was the first steam railroad manager in the East. at least to equip some portion of his system with eiectricity.He laid the third rail on two or three branch lines in Mas sachusetts and upon section of the old Boston, Hartford and Erie Railroad, running westerly from Hartford for some twenty miles. Furthermork he troileyized one or two small feeding lines, one especially in southwestern Connecficut

In the northern part of this State. the Delaware and Hudson followed diff ferent policy. A little railroad. legally known as the Albany and Vermont stretching a few miles north of Albany and another railroad proceeding north erly to Troy and Saratoga, both leased by the Delaware and Hudson, had. for many years furnished to this great rail- way relatively much the most profitable part of It's business. That was the pas senger transportation between the greater cities of the upper Hudson Val ley and the smaller, but very prosper ous manufacturing towns. But after a while the trolley came and the direc- tors of the Delaware and Hudson be- moaned the loss of passengers. The late Commodore Van SAnt used to say that If the entire Delaware and Hudson system met with losses like those ex- perienced between Albany and Sarato- ga in the way of passenger traffic that most prosperous railroad would be compelled to go into bankruptcy. And yet 1t was deemed the part of wise management to continue competition with these trolleys and that for some years was the view taken by the. New York Central management.
 Today the New York Central is per fecting plans for the equipment and the financing and purchase of an enor- nous trolley plant existing and yet to be built. The Central management have abandoned competition. not being successful at 1t, and have adopted the Pennsylvania's policy in many of its features. They have gone farther than inc Pennsylvania management did, how ever. since they are buying outright. The New York Central Road Is paral- leling and penetrating trolley lines, and even now contemplates the e1ectrifying of that part of the West Shore system which stretches between Utica and Rochester This, however. is only step In the direction of ultimate cleo trification of the entire New York Gen. tral system
