coLpEsT OCTOBER IN YEARS.
Middle West Suffers from Prema-
ture Winter Weather.

" eatheE.
Wednesday was the coolest October
lay known in Chicago for many years,
the mercury reaching minimum Of 30
degrees, drop of 13 degrees from the
registration of Tuesday, which was it
self cold enough to suit most people.
Besides, there were snow furries, the
earliest the Chicago weather bureau
ever recorded. The high temperature
mark of Wednesday for the entire
country was Los Angeles, Cal, where
the registration was 7S degrees. Low
temperatures were genera1 throughout
the United States.
Snow to the depth of two inches fell
in Cleveland, while heavy snow storms
were reported from Painesville, Ohio,
and Bluefield, w. Va. South Bend, Ind,
reported four inches of snow, verit-
able winter storm and the snowfall was
heavy and general all over northern
Indiana, in some places attaining al
most the proportions of Il blizzard.
inches, and the oldest inhabitant said
he had never known such October
weather since 1912 Pittsburg expert
enced the earliest snow storm since
$780, and many Western Pennsylvania
towns reported such heavy snowfall
that the snow plows had to be called
into requisition.
A remarkable feature Of the heavy
fall of snow in many localities is there
has not yet been a trace Of frost. Ap-
Piles are on the trees and corn is un-
husked, the farmers having been
caught mapping. The sudden advent of
cold weather has seriously interfered
with traffic on the lakes. The railroads
are also hampered and grain Is not
moving from the Northwest as rapidly
as it should.

In response to letter sent to the State
Minnesota railway and warehouse com.
mission by Gov. Johnson, the commission
sent notices to all railroads operating in
the State directing them to show cause
why rates on coal and farm products
should not be reduced.
The Ohio Attorney General rendered
an opinion to the State railway commits
sion to the effect that railways have no
right to charge the usual ten-cent excess
fare when cash fare is rendered, even
where the company refunds upon presen'
tation of the conductors receipt.
A new convenience for women travellers
on sleeping cars has been introduced on
the Northern Pacific railway. 1t consists
of a large bag made of tough paper, with
strings at the top for closing it. Into this
receptacle the traveller may put her hat,
gloves, wells, light jackets and similar ar.
ticles of apparel which are not in use in
the car. Then the bag is hung up out Of
the way and it's contents are kept free
from dust and cinders throughout the trip.
On and after Oct. 1 the Pennsylvania
lines west of PHtsburg will charge only
2 cents a mile within the State of Ohio.
Travellers from that State, upon crossing
the line, will be charged with a higher
rate, and tickets from points out of Ohio
will be figured at the 2-cent raSe only at
the Ohio line. The Baltimore and Ohio
and the Western Maryland announce that
they will issue 1,000-mile transferable
tickets for $50, good for any number of
persons.
The persistent public demand for lower
fares on steam railroads that has prevail
ed for several years has at last been ac-
ceded to by the management of the Erie
Railroad Company, and commencing Nov.
/, the maximum rate per mile will be two
and one-half cents. The action of the
Erie in thus voluntarily reducing its
fares is a commendable one. The asser-
ton here may Lot be amiss that passen-
ger fares in this country, accommodations
considered, are already cheaper than In
any other country in the world. Italy
has perhaps the cheapest steam railroad
fares of any of the foreign countries. The
State of New York has an average per
square mile population of 1873, Pennsylva-
MIA 1877, whereas in Ohio, where a two
cent rate law has recently been enacted,

When physician tells woman, suf-
fering from female trouble, that an
operation is necessary it, OF course,
frightens her.
The very thought of the operating
table and the knife strikes terror to
her heart. AS one woman expressed
it, when told by her physician that she
must undergo an operation, she felt
that her death knell had sounded.
Our hospitals are full of women
who are there for just such operations!
1t is quite true that these troubles
may reach a stage where an operation
is the only resource, but such cases are
much rarer than is generally supposed,
because a great many women have
been cured by Lydia r. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound after the doctors
had said an operation must be per-
formed. In fact, up to the point where
the knife must be used to secure instant
relief, this medicine is certain to help,
The strongest and most grateful
statements possible to make come from
women who, by taking Lydia Z. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound, have
escaped serious operations.
Margrito Ryan, Treasurer of St.
Andrews Society, Indianapolis, Ind,
writes of her cure as follows:

Miss Margret Merkley, of 275 Sd

Dear Mrs Pinkham:-
''Loss of strength, extreme nervousness,

the Alabama River yesterday between
Montgomery and Selma in the pilot
house of the William j. Twining, scan

for information which would guide him
in the next Congress, when the Alabama
River is asking for an appropriation of
