Man in THE CABOOSE
JACK RUMSEY'S SECRET FOR
SEA URiNG SLEEP.
A Missouri Pacific Railroad Conductor
Tells How He Prevents the
Wreck cf His Nerves.

A great deal of fatigue and anxiety is
housed up in the little red box tina,
swings at the tail of every freight train
and shares in every jolt Of the string OF
heavy cars that precedes it on the rails.
The men in 1t are good, hearty fellows
who bear cheerfully the hazards con-
nected with the great problem Of trans
portation. They are astir night and day
on vast network OF lines over the globe,
and the sympathies of tens of thousands
of peaceful little homes go with them on
their runs. Irregularity in meals and
sleep, delays. wrecks. washouts, land
slides. breakage of machinery. extremes
of cold and heat, are a few Of their dis
comforts The great public, sleeping COM
placently all night. must have it's sup
plies in the morning. and these are the
men who must get them through at the
cost even Of their lives.
Mr.. Jack Rumsey. of Council Grove,
Kansas. is an energetic, frank, good
natured member of this brotherhood and
he bears a load of worries that makes it
necessary for him to seek help at times
to keep his excited brain and nerves from
wearing him out. He says:
What troubled me most for long
time in my occupation was my inability
to get sleep when the chance came and
a most irritating sensitiveness of my
whole nervous system. growing out of
the irregularities and anxieties con-
nected with my daily work. Three or four
years ago a clerk in the superintendent
office of the Missouri Pacific railroad, at
Osawatomie, Kansas, advised me to use
DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People
acted on his advice and got help right
fectly well. So l keep them on hand all
the time and whenever the strain begins
to tell on me 1 take a few doses and
they set me all right again. They quiet
down my excited nerves and make it pos
sible for me to sleep just like child.
They are mighty good medicine for a
railroad man. That is the absolute truth.
as far as my experience goes, and l am
right glad to recommend Them
DIR. Williams Pink Pills for Pale Peo-
pie are unlike other medicines be-
cause they act directly on the blood and
nerves. This makes them invaluable in
such diseases as locomotor ataxia, par
tial paralysis. ST. Vitus dance. sciatica,
neuralgia. rheumatism. nervous headache,

All measures of trade indicate the

deficit was regained, numerous evil
dences of increasing confidence being
seen in the disposition to place orders
for distant shipment. Increased
consumption of pig iron is also signifi-
cant, and in other leading branches
of manufacture there is a steadily
diminishing percentage of idle ma
chinery. Railway earnings in Octo-
Der exceeded last years by 3.S per

Little net change is recorded in the

ROBBERS AT MIDDLEBURG.
MiddIeburg Supply Company's Store
Broken Open, But Nothing of
Value Taken.
Especial to News and Observer

Especial to News and Observer
Middleburg. y. c., Nov. 11.-Last
night unknown persons broke into the
store of the Middleburg Supply Co and
cut the hinges off the safe, but failed
TO get in. Evidently they were
scared off as they left a small saw a
large steel bar, hammer a file and
another instrument of steel which
they We're using.
Had they had time to put in a
charge of powder or dynamite they
would soon have had the safe open.
1t is considerably damaged. The
large steel bar is sixteen inches long
and about two inches wide wrapped in
paper and strapped with a book strap.
1t was arranged SO as to be carried
around the waist. We haven't missed
anything out of the store. but a few
pocket knives and a small quantity
of cheese and cakes. They burst one
of the cash drawers off, but fortunately
there was nothing in it but a few
postage stamps, which ,hey did not
take.
