.Mrs. IHesIerGurry

A nervous, irritable mother. often on
the verge of Mysteries, is unfit to care
for children It ruins a child's disposi-
ton and reacts upon herself. The
trouble between children and their
mothers too often is due to the fact
that the mother has some female weak
ness, and she is entirely unfit to bear
the strain upon her nerves that govern
ing children involves; it is impossible
for her to do anything calmly.
The ills of women act like frebrand
upon the nerves, consequently nine
tenths of the nervous prostration. ner.
yous despondency, the blues" sleep
lessness, and nervous irritability OF
women arise from some arrangement
of the female organism.
Do you experience fits of depression
with restlessness, alternating with
extreme irritability? Are your spirits
easily affected, so that one minute you
laugh, and the next minute you feel
like crying?
Do YOU feel something like ball ris-
ing in your throat and threatening to
choke you; all the senses perverted,
morbidly sensitive to light and sound
pain in the abdominal region, and
between the shoulders; bearing down
pains; nervous dyspepsia and almost
continually cross and snappy?
If so, your nerves are in shattered
condition, and you are threatened with
nervous prostration-
Proof is monumental that nothing in
the world is better for nervous prostrar
ton than Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege-

sands of women can testify to this fact

WESTERN PACIFIC CLAIMS
OAKLAND RIGHT OF WAY
Alleges That 1t Holds a Forty-Seven
Year Franchise From the Mu-
nfcipaI Government.

The Western Pacific Railway Com
pany filed in the United States Circuit
Court a supplemental cross bill yester-
day in the litigation between itself and
the Southern Pacific Company over the
right of way TO the Oakland water
front The supplemental bill alleges
that after the Western Pacific cross
bill had been fled, the City Council of
Oakland in March of this year passed
two ordinances granting a forty-seven-
year franchise for a railroad and ferry
system with passenger depots, switches,
ETC., from a point on the southerly
line of First street to the pier head
line adjoining the training wall on
Oakland Creek.
No comment is made on the effect Of
these ordinances in the pending liti-
CATION, but the ordinances are under
stood to give the Western Pacific the
right Of way over the disputed terri
tory.

Freeport Company |:
Offered a Plan to
Pay Up in Full.

A proposition has been made to the
attorneys of the German Insurance
Company OF Freeport by Sidney NJ. Van
Wyck Jr., president of the German of
Freeport Policy holders Association
which may result in trying out the in
tentions of the stockholders of the
company. Van Wycks idea is that the
policy holders ought to be considered
before the stockholders when the ques-
tion arises as to whether stockholders
should have dividends or policy-holders
the money they expect under the terms
of their policies on burned properties
in San Francisco.
THE attorneys in San Francisco for
the German Insurance Company of
Freeport,'' so said Van Wyck last
evening, have submitted to the San
Francisco policy-holders a proposition
to- accept so cents on the dollar on
their claims If, after an examination of
the books and accounts. the showing is
that the company cannot pay any more
That looks to our people like signing
an agreement with a mortgage on it,
as it has been expressed. The attor-
neys for the company in this city have
offered, it is true, to pay $4,000 to de-
fray the expenses of sending a repre-
sentative of the policy-holders to Free
port to make an examination Of the
BOOKS, etc.
In behalf of policy-holders of the
German of Freeport do not favor that
idea, for believe that we can do better
by proceeding in an entirely different
way. An investigation of the finances
of the company would be a good thing,
but I do not think that there ought TO
be any conditions attached that shall
bind US down to the acceptance Of any
fixed percentage of claims in advance.
Therefore have, said TO the attorneys
of the company that there is way to
pay the policy-holders in full, not all
at once, but in time. The plan is as
follows:
Let the company keep its capital
stock unimpaired- Have the assets and
liabilities looked up carefully II il
appears that the assets are sufficient
to pay the policy-holders we'll and
good; but If the company is able to go
on it ought to pay the policy-holders
out of the profits of the business.
Let the stockholders forego their
dividends and arrange to pay the pol
icy-holders after the first principal
payment on the installment plan until
all the money that is due to the policy
holders is handed over to them ]
have said to the attorneys for the COM
pany that this would be acceptable as
method of procedure. They have an
swered practically that the plan will
not be accepted 1 can see no reason
why it is not fair to every one
