New C, & o. Flyer.

About July LIST the summer schedule
of the Chesapeake & Ohio Ry. goes in
to effect. A new train will be put
OH that will be flyer indeed. With
the most modern equipment, ordered
from the Pullman Company especially
for the purpose. the Chesapeake and
Ohio Railway will in short while be.
gin the operation of a new train in
each direction between New Y ork and
Washington and Chicago, Cincinnati
and st. Louis. These trains will run
on schedule about two hours fastest
than the present schedule.
Mr.. H. W. Fuller, the general pas
senger agent, stated to the writer that
be had for long time recognized the
need of an additional limited train to
handle the company's increasing traf-
fic, aud at the same time shorten the
running time. The new train will
leave Washington about 4:30 p. NJ,
passing Charlottesville about p. M,
and will be the finest and fastest train
operating on the Chesapeake and Ohio,
and one of the very best and fastest in
the country. Under the new arrange.
ment the express for Cincinnati will
leave Washington about 200 p. M,
and the limited at 4:30 p. M, the lat
ter train arriving Cincinnati at S:15 a.
m, the following morning. The new
trains will carry a varied assortment
of brand new equipment, including
diners.-Post.
In addition to the putting on of The
G. & o. Limited, from Washington to
Cincinnati, several other slight changes
will probably be made in the Chesa
peake and Ohio schedule.
| An extra passenger train will leave
Washington at 2:3O for GOrdonsville
making connection with train number
5 from Richmond, thus doing away
with the necessity of stopping the linn
| tied at the smaller stations.

Dangerous Kidney Diseases
Cured.

WHEN the kidneys become affected
w by catarrh, either from colds, over
work, or an extension of catarrh from
some other organ, they fail to perform
their normal functions.
1t is the work of the kidneys to ex-
crete from the blood many of the poisons
which accumulate in the body.
If the kidneys fail in their work, the
poisons accumulate to such an extent as
to cause commissions, which often prove
fatal.
Peruna, by relieving the kidneys of
their congested and catarrhal condi-
tons, leaves them free to act in q
normal manner.
1t also strengthens the action of the
heart, equalizing the circulation of the
blood in all parts of the system.
