TO THE DEAD.
Confederate Soldiers Lines on Albert
Sidney Johnston.

In a New Orleans cemetery, almost
at the gateway thereof, stands a mag
nificent monument to Albert Sidney
Johnston, a general of the Confeder-
ate army, who fell at Shiloh, April 6,
1852. Beneath the monument, in d
crypt, are entombed many Confeder-
ate dead, and for awhile the body OF
General Johnston laid therein, until il
was removed to Texas of which state
he had been a governor.
General Johnston, undoubtedly, was
a man of rare military genius, and
had he lived throughout the war, his
historians and admirers claim, the re-
suit might have been different-there
might not have been an Appomattox
and a Confederate surrender beneath
the famous apple tree. But be that
as it may, Albert Sidney Johnston was
representative character of the
south and he died faithful to the
cause which he espoused in 81, and
his epitapn has been rtten, in strong
and simple language, by a soldier of
his army, John Dimitry, who after
ward died and his body reDOses in the
crypt which he helped to erect to the
memory of his dead hero.
This is Decoration day, when we of
the north gather in our cemeteries
and spread flowers over the graves of

IS 1T ANY WONDER
That AIaIta-Vita ATeIts in Your Mouth
and Satisfies as No Other
Food Camp

Do you know why Malta-Vita is so
dehcious, so crisp, so sweet? Do you
know why it is the most satisfying
and healthful food in the world?
Malta-vita is made from the best
white wheat.
Before the process of manufacture
begins, the wheat is cleaned and
secured and the dust and refuse are
drawn out of the big factory by sue
ton, leaving It as fresh and pure as
your own kitchen.
The grain Is thoroughly cooked in
water and steam and matured in fresh,
pure air. By this time the starch in
the wheat has been gelatinized, or, in
other words, has lost all its indigest-
tble characteristics.
Now the wheat is mixed with the
highest quality Of malt extract and this
malt extract, a most active digestive
agent, converts the gelatiined starch
You understand, of course, that malt
sugar, (maltose) in which MaIta-Vita
is always so rich, is of wonderful food
value, very strengthening and easily
digested. It makes the digestion of
the crisp faxed wheat an easy task,
too, even for the weakest stomach.
Malta-Vita is baked under such in
| tense heat that when it comes out of
the ovens, its crisp brokn fakes deli
cious beyond description, 1t contains
only a little more than one per cent
of moisture
Do you wonder now why it melts in
your mouth2
And here is another thought.
Throughout the entire process of
manufacture Malta-Vita is practically
untouched by human hands. Machin-
ery-clean- shining machinery-con-
veys It through all the changes. even
to the filing and sealing Of the air
tight, nnoisture-proof packages.
Malta-Vita is the perfect food fol-
old and young, weak and strong. For
the rum down or overworked digestive
organs it is a God-send. It makes red
blood. refreshes the brain and the
nerves. builds up bone and muscle. It
is so satisfying and healthful that nc
home should be without it.
Malta-Vita IS 10 cents at all grocers
same high quality, same big pack
ages as when it sold for 15c.

TO FOOT BIG BILLS.

Chicago, May 30.-Alarmed at the agi-
tation in favor of government control of
rates, the railroad interests have en-
barked upon a campaign of education,
which is national in scope, and which
viii cost them a very large sum an
nually.
The educational work, as they. are
pleased to call it, will be conducted
through the medium of two large
bureaus in New York and Chicago, which
may have branch organizations. The
New York and Chicago bureaus have
become established, their agents are
touring the country in search of infor-
nation regarding conditions, and they
are already engaged in sending forth
tons Of literature and in preparing
more.
The enterprise is under the active
management of G. P. S. Nichaelis and
j. d. Ellsworth, under the firm name of
Michaelis & Ellsworth, who are working
ia New York Chicago and Boston. Back
of them in an advisory capacity is SIa-
son Thompson Of the Railway News
Bureau, an organization promoted by
the General Managers Association of
Chicago. The latter is composed Of the
general managers of all the railroads
centering in this city.
The larger enterprise, however, which
as yet is not known by any definite
and statistical bureau, has the direct
backing of the presidents of practically
all the railroads in the United States. IN
charge of the Chicago office in Orchestra
Hall is LauristOn Ward, a former New
York newspaper man. Nichaelis has
general charge of the work in Chicago,
while Ellsworth attends to the New
York office.
The work Of the bureau viii be &C
cOmplished largely through the en-
plOyment of active newspaper men. 1t
is the purpose to send such men into
every state in the union. and keep them
travelling and talking with everyone who
comes in contact with railroads. This
will be done with a view to asce4tafning,

wrong in the relations between the rail-
roads and the public. Incidentally they
are presumed to assure the people that
any abuses showp to exist viii be cor

port at the general offices in New York
and in Chicago. and upon their reports
literature will be prepared and dissem-
mated with a view to correcting alleged
public misCOncepti0n.

Catching cold frequently results in
pelvic catarrh.
The general notion is that catching
cold affects the head, throat or lungs.
It does in most cases.
But a cold IS liable also to settle in
the pelvic organs and produce many
distressing ailments peculiar to the
female Sex.
Pelvic catarrh is a medical term
first used By DR.. Hartman.
It means catarrh of some one Of the
pelvic organs.
1t results from cold the same as
catarrh of the nose or throat.
Local treatment is OF no more avail
in these cases than in cases of catarrh
of the nose or throat.
Systemic treatment is the only ra-
tional cure.

FIREPROoF CAR FOR MAILS.
Erie Railway InstaIIs Steel Car With
ErTaoe,-fo.T T1=4+5vc-e

Electrical Fittings.
Jersey City. N. J., May 30.-Super-
intendent Bradley of the United States
mail service led a group of interested
railroad men and postal officials on a
tour Of inspection of a new steel postal
car in the yards of the Erie railroad.
The car was built recently for the
Erie service according to plans that
were previously approved by the
postal authorities at Washington. It
was the first time it had been in the
east, and created quite lot of discus
sion among railroad architects and car
builders generally. It was conceded at
the recent exhibition of the Interna-
tional Railway congress at Washing
ton to be the best piece of work ever
turned out for a railroad.
The car is of steel and is fireproof.
There is absolutely no wood on it,
and is fitted with electricity, so that
there is never any need for anything
that will start a flame. The construc-
ton is simple and the details numer-
Gus, and is for all the world like a
large Office.
This car, superintendent Bradley
explained, is now the standard of con-
struction, and from all parts of the
country the Erie is being congratu-
lated on the advance step it has taken
in this branch of service
superintendent Bradley explained
the advantages of the car over others
from the official point of view. and
why it has met with the approval of
the postal Authorities as the standard
of construction for the railway postal
service of the country.

By a $25, 900 Verdict in Circuit
Court Against the 1. G.
This Amount Awarded 20 the Admin
istrator Of Lucy Stevenson,
Who Was Killed.
DEFENDANT WON OTHER TRIAL.

A verdict for s25, 900 damages, the
full amount asked, was returned
about 1920 this afternoon in circuit
court in the case of l.. Il. Stevenson,
administrator of Lucy Stevenson,
against the Illinois Central railroad
company. The case has been on trial
since yesterday and was given to the
jury shortly before noon today.
Miss Lucy Stevenson was at Daw-
son on the 9th of August, 1902, at
tending the annual l. c. picnic when
a freight train came around the curve
and caught her with several other
persons on a trestle, and she was
killed.
Attorney l.. X. Taylor and Frank
Lucas represented the plaintiff and
Attorneys Wheeler, Hughes G. Berry,
the railroad.
The verdict is one of the biggest
ever returned in the McCracken cir
cult court.
The facts about the accident are
doubtless fresh in the minds of the
public. There were several hundred
people on the grounds and several
ventured out on the trestle, despite
the danger signs on each end and II
was claimed that it was impossible
to stop the train when the engineer
rounded the curve and saw them.
The main thing submitted by the
court to the jury was whether or not
from the evidence the engineer used
due diligence and exerted due effort
TO stop the train and prevent injury
to the people on the trestle, and judg-
ing from the verdict, the jury evil
IDENTIFY thought that he did not.
This is the first verdict ever rem
dered in favor of the plaintiffs in
these cases. Two were killed and
several others hurt, one lady losing
a leg in the accident. The cases since
the accident nearly three years ago,
have been lugged around from one
court to the other and to the court of
appeals on questions of law, and the
railroad has won every time except
today. The case in which the $4,000
verdict was rendered today was tried
once before and the defendant won.
The railroad will make a motion at
once for new trial, and If it fails
to get it. will take an appeal
This verdict is the largest against
a railroad here in many years.
Several years ago in the Fred Stew
art case a verdict was rendered for
$4,000 for the loss of both legs, but
1t was tried three different times.

Secretary Hay Addresses a
Second Note.
This Government Has No Desire ia
Become Ohicious, But is Never
theless I'm Earnest.
JAPANESE ARE REASSURING.

Washington, Jan. 17.-China's at
tention has again been indirectly in
vited by the American government to
the necessity for a faithful mainte-
nance of her neutrality not only in
her personal interest, but in the in
terest of the world s peace. Secre-
tary Hay on receipt of the full text of
Count Lamsdorffs note expressing
Russia's belief that China's neutrali-
ty has been repeatedly violated, today
prepared instructions for the Amer
lean charge at Pekin, directing him to
make inquiry of the Chinese govern
ment regarding the situation.
1t is specifically declared that this
action cannot in any way be con-
strued as indicating that this govern
ment assumes responsibility for the
charges made by Russia. Indeed, this
government has received no informa-
ton through it's legation at Pekin
nor through the various American
consulates In China that the Chinese
are violating rules of neutrals. New
ertheless, in view of Russla's ex-
pressed anxiety over the situation in
China, which her investigation dis
closes, the American government is
ready TO do what it can to save China
and other neutral powers from the
far-reaching complications, which II
Is feared would follow an extension
to Chinese territory of the zone of
hostilities. This is the second time
Secretary Hay in friendly spirit has
urged on China the advantage which
strict observation of neutrality holds
not only for her people, but for the
remainder Of the world.
The long-heralded Russian note
reached Secretary Hay from the Rus
sian embassy direct. 1t cites many
alleged violations of neutrality on the
part of China. Ii concludes with
HVNiaia'ioh thdl III case the dclual
situation in China to which attention
is now earnestly invited shall contin-
ne, Russia in consequence will find
herself Obliged to consider the neu-
trality OF China from the standpoint
of Russias interests.
In conversation last night Japanese
Minister Takahira reiterated that ia
pan desired and intended II possible
TO adhere strictly to her agreement
to respect china's neutrality. "But,"
he added, III Russian generals invite
them to Mongolia our commanders
under the circumstances could hardly
be expected to refuse the invita-.
ton"
