on Lincoln Branch Line.

Union Pacific Laying zO-Pound steel
on Lincoln Branch Line.
salina, Kas., June s.-The Union
Pacific railroad company has begun
the long contemplated improvement
OH the Lincoln branch line. It has
been the intention of the company for
some time to place the roadbed in
condition for the heaviest trains to
pa SIS over it
A big steel gang of so men has
arrived to commence laying the
heavy rails. The weight of these rails
is 20 pounds to the yard, which is the
same as that of the main line No
pains or money will be spared by the
company to put this branch of the
road in the best condition possible.
Avery Johnson, who resigned his
position as roadmaster at this place a
short time ago, will have charge of
the steel gang doing the work.
1t is expected that if nothing inter
feres with the work, one-half mile OF
steel per day, on an average, will Re
tut down. The amount of steel re-
q uired for the 35 miles is about 1900
tons. This is a large outlay for a
branch line, and would indicate the
Importance attached to the branch for
future operations.

DR.. KEMBALL RECOMMENDS PE-RU-NA
FROM PERSONAL EXPERIENCE.
Pays Glowing Tribute to tha
Remedy That Gives Relief
From Catarrhal us.

Dr. Rachael Kendall of Buffalo.
New York, is a woman physician, ana
in addition to the knowledge of women
ordinarily possessed by doctors. her
experience enables her much better
than the average doctors to under
stand the ailments peculiar to women.
DIR. Kendall endorses Peruna.
She recommends it not only to her
patients, but TO her suffering sisters.
It is wOman's testimony to women.
It is a woman's advice to other
women.
The laws governing the human body
are the same in men and women.
The study of physiology and anat-
omy is supposed to furnish to both
men and women an equal knowledge
Of the diseases that human flesh is
heir to. and yet there are some things
about women's diseases that women
understand little better than men.
Miss Maud Steinbach. 1899 Twelfta
St, Milwaukee. wis. writes:
I have found by experience that
Peruna is an honest and reliable medi-
cine.
1T is indeed a true friend to sick
women who cannot afford to waste
their time and money on expensive
doctors and medicines.
Last winter I felt sick most of the
time, suffered from nervous exhaus-
ton and severe bearing down pains.
st had so frequently heard of Pee
runa and the wonderful cures it per-
formed, so I sent for a bottle and be-
gan taking it.

health and strength were entirely res
stored to me.

Kansas-On7cers Elected.


Kansas-OfHcers Elected.
Fort Scott, Kan. June s.@The sec
ond annual convention of the National
Union of Railway Trackmen, which
mas been in session here, has adj
journed, The membership has now
grown to $4,000, the report of the sec
rotary showing thatatae increase since
the convention a year ago was $4,000,
an unprecedented record in the history
| Of labor organization. The conven-
| ton has been most successful in all
particulars. The number of dele
gates here did not exceed SO but this
was on account of the fact that the
poor wages paid the section men In
remote corners of the United States
would not warrant them making the
trip. They preferred to save the
| money to promote the cause for which
| they are working. There were $50
delegates elected, and those who could
not attend were present by proxy.
/ During the session some important
! changes were made in the work of
i the order. The Office OF superintend-
/ ent of organizers was created NJ NJ
/ Mishler, of Atchison, was appointed to
! I'LL this place, and he will appoint di-
vision superintendent. The object of
/ this is to work every railroad division
1 in the United States from end to end.
! A thorough canvass will be made and
/ in this way it is believed more effective
work can be accomplished The sec
/ rotary was able to report considerable
/ progress during the last year and the
members are greatly encouraged in the
work.
It was reported to the convention
| by the secretary that the Chicago,
! Milwaukee & st. Paul RAILROAD had
made a concession in wages during
the last year and the object of the or
ganization is to induce the other roads
in the country to recognize a. larger
scale.
