USED TO GOOD ADVANTAGE.
Congressman Played Railroad Blanks

Congressman Played Railroad Blanks
to the Limit.
Twenty years ago, when railroad
passes were as thick in Kansas as wild
sunfiOwers, draft was made on
road once which took away the breath
of even the hardened officials" said
formerly of Kansas man" last night.
AT the Republican state convention
in 1882 Lew Hanback,, now dead, was
nominated for congress, as one of the
big four congressman at large to
which me state became entitled under
the new apportionment.
Hanback, was poor. In those days
nobody paid railroad fare if he had
any kind of a drag on a politician of
influence. Consequently, when sever
al of the men who had helped NOM
mate Hanback, asked him for passes
home from Topeka he had to do some
thing. He went to Archie Williams;
attorney for the Union Pacific, and
asked for help. Williams ransacked
his Office and found a book of passes
containing three blanks. He signed
these and gave them to Hanback,.
Several days afterward Williams
received a scorching letter from the
general management, asking him
what in the blazes he meant by issuing
passes to carry men by the train load.
The letter said:
We are willing to stand for any
thing reasonable, but when pass
reads, Pass John Doe and forty-five
Others it is going too strong
Williams found on investigation
that Hanback, had passed 125 men on
those three blanks. Seattle Post In

MADE new STRENGTH
QUICKER THAN DOCTORS ToNIOS,
SAYS TYPHOID PATIENT.
Young Lady Left by Fever in Very Weak
State Uses DIR. Williams Pink Pills
with Gratifying Results.

After fever, such as typhoid or scar
let, has run it's full course there remains
the recovery of strength. The tonic that
will most rapidly increase the red cor
puscles in the blood is the one that will
most quickly restore color to the pale
cheeks, strength to the weak muscles,
and elasticity to the sluggish nerves. So
far nothing has ever been produced su-
perior to DR.. Williams Pink Pills for
this purpose.
Miss Midendorf had been i'll with
typhoid fever for fourteen weeks. She,
had good physician who carried her
safely through the critical stages. When
he left, nothing remained to be done ex.
cept to build up her strength, which was
very feeble, and he gave her some pre-
scriptions for that purpose. Here, how.
ever, she met with disappointment.
81 took the DOCTORS tonics," she says.
"for two months after had recovered
from the fever, but they did not do me
the good looked for. My strength cana
back SO slowly that I scarcely seemed to
be making any progress at all. Just
then I read iii book thrown in our
yard some striking testimonials showing
what wonderful blood-builders and
strength -givers DIR. Williams Pink Pills
are. I got box of them soon after
this and after I had taken only about
half of them l could see a very great inn
provement i'll my condition. When
had used up two boxes, I felt that did
not need any more medicine. I have
remained etrong ever since"
Miss E. B. Midendorf lives at No.
1901 Park street, Quincy, III. DR.. Will
liams' Pink Pills are the best remedy to
use III all cases of weakness, from what
ever cause the system may be run down.
In cases of debility due to overwork they
minister fresh strength and overcome
nervous symptoms. They are a specific
for an3Inia or bloodlessness. They are
particularly helpful to girls on the verge
of womanhood. They meet all the re-
quirements of the period known as the
change of life. They correct spring
languor. They strengthen weak diges-
ton and rouse up sluggish organs. No
other tonic combines so many virtues
All druggists sell them.
If we could see the faults in our
selves as we do in others, it would
be easier to bring about reform.

The Simmons baby had been

THE VALUE o ANTIsEPTIcs
Discovery Made Delicate Surgical Op
erations Possible.

Discovery Made Delicate Surgical Op-
erations Possible.
The use of antiseptics made it pos
sible for the surgeon to undertake Op-
erations that were before then impos-
sible. The surgeon of forty years ago
would not perform an operation that
involved the penetration of the peri
toneum-the thin membrane that lines
the wall of the abdomen-without the
gravest hesitation and foreboding.
This delicate lining always quickly
and acutely resented interference by
becoming infamed, and in nine cases
out of ten death was certain. Today
the surgeon will pierce this wall with
out compunction, because by the use
of antiseptics he is able, except in
rare cases, to keep it free from all in
furious interference. By the use of
antiseptics, too, wounds heal much
more quickly In the old days an
amputated limb meant six weeks in
bed and constant changes of dressing.
Now it only means confinement for
a fortnight, with one change of dress
ing. The surgeon does not need to
take off the bandages Just to see that
it is going all right. He can ascer-
tain all that he wants to know from
the temperature and pulse Of the pa.

bids for segregated coal lands in the

was explained at the department to-

they might have placed their figures

ton the report OF the United States
