him one day and saio disconsolately
that he was going to commit suicide
that he was tired of life, not being
able to express his thoughts in poetic
form. Butter asked Reporter Clemens
what he thought of the idea. Said the
speaker
Il said would; that It was good
idea. You can do me friendly turn.
You go off in private place, do it
there, and I'll get it all. You do it
and I'll do as much for you some

how he would write up his death;
how it would appear on the first page
of the paper. 1t cheered Butter up SO
that he went off in a joyous frame

was to kill himself with revolver,

ANOTHER GIGANTIC CORPORA
TION BEING FORMED
All the Copper, Lead and Smelling
Interests to Unite With a Capital
of Six Hundred Million Dollars
Details of the Plan.

Important details of a copper, lead
and smelling deal which has been de-
veloping for months has become
known in Wall street. 1t can be au-
thoritatively stated that an industrial
corporation which will in size closely
rival, if not exceed, the billion and a
half dollar United States Steel cor
poration, will result from the deal now
pending. The corporation will abso-
lutely control the output OF lead and
copper ores, the smelling of ores and
selling of refined products.
The settlement of the Montana liti-
CATION between HeinZe and Amalga-
mated Copper interests, officially adj
mitted by the latter, was the first steps
in the promotion of the merger.
To Be in Three Groups
First, it is proposed to gather va
rious copper properties together in
at least three separate groups, name
ly, the Montana group, Utah group
and Arizona group. At the same time
the American Smelling and Refining
company and various read producing
properties which it now controls will
form another section or the big conf
bine.- Properties going into various
sections of groups VIII be turned into
holding companies representing such
sections or grollDs. When the desired

Nerve

Everything depends upon
your nerves. 1t is nerve force
that causes the brain to direct
the motion Of your body; it is
nerve force that causes your
heart to pulsate, and send the
blood through your veins; it
is nerve force that causes your
stomach to digest food, your
kidneys to filter the blood, and
the liver to secrete bile.
In fact, nerve force is the
power that runs your body. SO
if you feel WORKOUT, irritable,
nervous, cannot sleep, or eat
we'll, have pain or misery
anywhere, your nerves are
weak, and your system rum
down. To restore this vitality
take DR.. Miles Nervine which
will strengthen and build up
the nerves. You cannot be
healthy without strong nerves.
For eighteen years Dr. Miles
Nervine and Anti-Pain Pills have been
my close companions. Early in mar
ried life, while raising children, my
nerves became all worn out--could not
sleep; had no appetite: indigestion
very bad. and had such awful dizzy
spells Then began using DR.. Miles

New Pennsylvania Construction Yards
Near Indianapolis

Plans are being prepared by the
Pennsylvania lines west for the erec-
tion of extensive repair and construc-
tion yards to repair and build new
equipment for the lines west of Pitts
burg.
Several hundred acres of land have
already been purchased in the vicinity
of Eagle Greek, near Indianapolis, and
options have been taken on adjoining
property.
According to reports the new yards
will cost about $30O0000. The improve
ments will include the erection of car
shops and roundhouse to take the place
it is understood of the Vandalia shops
at Terre Haute and the Pennsylvania
shops at East Washington street In

1t is impossible to purchase addi-

land just outside the city limits. This
is only part of the scheme decided upon
by the Pennsylvania directors for the
enlargement of all yards along that
system where freight and passenger
traffic has been increased in recent
years.
