FIGHTING THE RATE BILL.
Pullman Car and Express Compa- nies Bringing Pressure to Bear
 on Conferees.

Washington, May 3i.-Tuesday s session of the conferees on the rail- road rate bill developed the fact that the Pullman Palace Car company has been making, and will make, hard fight against the senate amendment which proposes to include sleeping cars as common carriers, and put them under the jurisdiction of the inter state commerce commission.
 Thus far the sleeping car company seems to have done more work than Mir, Platt and the express trust. It is lntimated, however, that these two in- terests have joined hands, and that they will work together to induce ths house to object to the senate amend ment, and induce the senate to yield gracefully to the house's objection.
 There will be fight over the express section, the sleeping cars, the owner ship of coal and similar commodities by railroad lines, and the personnel of the commission, but beyond that the adjustment of the differences between the two houses is believed to be easy.

The Farmers Union of Arkansas has a total of 85, ,000 members in the the state, according to report just issued. It is fortunate for the De mocracy that the Union is not a political organization. Some of these days some fellow will under take to convert this great organiza- tion into a machine for the advance ment of his political interests. The officers of the Union will be wise indeed if they avoid any political complications. Arkansas Democrat Why do you say fortunate for the Democracy" Should not true Democracy represent and seek to se- cure nearly everything the Farmers Union is laboring for? This is our view and we do not believe that the adoption of their principles would be menace to Democracy.

1 scription.' l consider it without an equal for ills of women"
 All the ingredients entering into Dr. Pierce's Favorits Prescription are printed in plain English on each bottle wrapper. Dr. Pierce thereby shows that he is not afraid to tell his patients just what this medicine is made of. This l is not true of any other medicine espe- cially designed for the cure of woman s peculiar ailments. This Subscription is also the only woman's medicine sold through druggists that does not con- tain a large percentage of alcohol; 1t contains not drop.
 As an indication of the high esteem in which the medical profession are coming to regard the several ingredi- ents of which Dr. Pierce's Favorite Pre- scription, for weak and ailing women is composed, we have room here to in- sert only the following:
 Dr. John Fyfe, of Saugatuck, Conn.,, Editor of the Department of Therapeu- tics in THE ELECTRIC REVIEW says of Unicorn root (Helons0s D0icd) one of the chief ingredients of Dr. Pierce's Fa- vorite Prescription: "A remedy which invariably acts as uterine invigorator and always favors condition which makes for normal activity of the entire reproductive system, cannot fail to be of great usefulness and of the utmost importance to the general practitioner of medicine"
 cIn Helonias we have a medicament which more fully answers the above purposes than any other drug scith ichich am ocquotnted. In the treat ment of diseases peculiar to women it is seldom that a case is seen which does not present some indication for this remedial agent"
 uThe following are among the lead ing indications for Helonias: Pain or aching in the back, with leucorrh9a; atomic (weak) conditions of the repro ductive organs of women, mental de- pression and irritability, associated with chronic diseases of the reproduc- tive organs of women, constant sensa- tion of heat in the region of the kidneys: menorrhagia, (vfloodingn) due to weakened condition of the reproductive system; amenorrhna, arising from or accompanying an abnormal condition of the digestive organs and an anRmic (thin blood) habit; dragging sensations in the extreme lower part of the abdo- men,"
 If more or less of the above symp- toms are present, no invalid women can do better than take Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription, sne of the leading ingredients of which is Unicorn root, or Helonias.

TREATMENT OF INSANE.

Just to show that there are some countries in Europe that are ahead of this boasted land of the free Tn some things we reproduce the fol- lowing regarding treatment of the insane:
 "In Belgian lunatic asylums there are securely locked boxes in which any inmate may deposit letters ot complaint. These letters are col lected three times weekly by outside officials, who investigate every case; and if person asserts that he is not insane prompt examination ensues by medical experts. {"

 IF THE ROAD TAX AMEND. TENT IS TESTED.

People have generally taken for granted that the suit brought by the Gotten Belt to have the road tax amendment declared invalid is on ail fours with the No 8 amendment case-that the road tax amendment did not receive majority of all the electors voting and must be void if No. 8 is void for the same reason.
 But the lawyers that have been engaged by County Judge Coffman and Sheriff Kavanaugh to fight the Cotton Belts suit do not think the fate of the road tax amendment was settled with the killing of the other amendment. Here is one ground for their faith. The Cotton Belt raked the state with a fine-toothed comb and by taking the highest vote cast for any officer in each county got together total number of votes apparently sufficient to prove that the amendment was not adopted by a majority of all the electors voting. But the defense claims that the speaker of the house, whose duty it is to declare an amendment adopted or rejected, knows nothing officially of the vote for any officers other than the five constitutional state officers, which vote is the one that is canvassed by the house. -Arkan- sas Gazette.

NO TORE POISONED HEATS.

"The tremendous significance of the Beveridge amendment to the ag- ricultural appropriation bill, which has passed the Senate, can hardly be appreciated at first glance by per- sons who are unfamiliar with the conditions that have governed the meat industry in this country. In brief the bill as amended means not only an effective pure food law in regard to all meats, fresh and canned, but it also means the emanci- patton of the public from its long slavery to the beef trust, the most merciless monopoly of modern civili- zation.
 "The Standard Oil Company has been held up to the public obloquy as the great octopus, the greediest monster in the trust family, but the Standard Oil Company is benevo- lent institution compared with the beef trust, for the former supplies the public with better article at lower prices than were paid before | it effected its vast combination, while the packers trust, which has gained an absolute monopoly in meats, fruits and vegetables the country over, has steadily raised it's prices for these necessaries of life to the highest figures that the people can earn the money to pay"
 The foregoing from the Kansas City Journal is pretty strong Ian guage when it is considered that it is within the memory of many young men when that paper, quoting the late Mark Hanna, declared that "there are no trusts"

STRONG TRUE WORDS.

The Emporia (Kas.,) Gazette a Republican paper, in a lengthy criticism of Governor Hoch, the Republican governor of the state, for permitting the state of Kansas to become party in a railroad suit for lands in the Indian Territory said to be worth $50, ,OO0, ,OOo, among other strong points made presents the following which we deem of general interest:
 "The Gazette has no desire to be demagogic, but it does desire to say in all candor that if the road wins this suit as Joseph H. Choate, it's chief counsel thinks it will, and as the attorney general, c. c. Coleman of Kansas in his brief says it sho uld, 1, by winning it will add $50, 0,000,000 to the coffers of system which uses it's surplus financial power to bribe legislatures, to corrupt courts, to fool governors, and thereby to steal money from the people. This $50,s 900, 900 will go from the taxpayer who work to those who give no value received and who use their great fortunes to buy political power to oppress the American people. The wealth of this country is not equit- ably distributed because this govern ment as the umpire of the game permits technicalities and precedents and legal tomfooleries like this which Hoch has just invoked, to take money away in taxes from those who work and give it as bonuses and donations and other legalized steals to those who do not work"

No Dowery for This Nobleman.

Pittsburg, June 1.-Because of a statement that has been published about the country that Baron Riedl who is to marry Louise Magee, niece and ward of the late Senator Chris l. Magee, had demanded a dowery of slOO,0O0, much unpleasant notoriety has resulted Thursday the family of the late senator caused to be given out a denial that any such demand was eve, made. It was also stated that Mrs. Magee would under no circumstances consent to the payment of a marriage portion were such thing possible as it would be at variance to her prin- ciples.

What i, More I,esutlial than . Mothers Love ?
"who ran to help me when l fell And would some pretty story tell. or kiss the place to make 1t well,
 My mother"


 A mothers worries are many. She
 sometimes forgets her own bodily dis
 comforts because of her overpowering love for the child. She becomes broken down, sleepless, nervous, irritable and feels tired from morning until night. Many mothers of experience can tell you that at such time they have been re- lieved, benefited and strengthened and put into proper health by taking pre- scription which their mothers had told them was the best woman's tonic and nervine to be taken at such times. Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription has en- loved an enviable reputation for over a third of century. In all that time 1t has sold more largely in the United States than any other tonic for woman's needs, and to-day it's sales are greater than ever. Dr. Pierce made up this prescription from native medicinal roots without the use of a particle of alcohol and for the single purpose of curing those diseases peculiar to women and when there is lack of womanly strength to bear the burdens of maternal duty. How few women come to this critical time with adequate strength. The reason why so many women sink under the strain of motherhood is be- cause they are unprepared. Is pre- paration then required for mother hood? asks the young woman. And every experienced mother answers --vYes.r uI unhesitatingly advise ex- pectant mothers to use Doctor Pierce's Favorite Prescription, writes Mrs. J. W. c. Stephens, of Mila, Va. The req son for this advice is that Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription is the best pre- parative for the maternal function. No matter how healthy and strong woman may be, she cannot use "Favorite Pre- scription" as preparative for ma ternity without gain of health and comfort. But it is the women who are not strong who best appreciate the great benefits received from the use of "Fa- vorite Prescription For one thing it's use makes the baby's advent practically painless. It has in many cases reduced days of suffering to brief few hours. It has changed the period of anxiety and struggle into time of ease and comfort.
 DUTY WOMEN OWE THEMSELVES.
 uGood actions speak louder than words," so, too does the testimony of many thousands of women during a third of century speak louder than mere claims not backed by any such record of cures.
 Miss Emma Petty, ll26 s. Olive Street, Indianapolis, Ind, Past Vice. President, Daughters of Pocahontas, Minneola Council, also Organist, South Baptist Church, Indianapolis, writes: vFor sew eral years I suffered with leucorrh9a, which was serious drain on my vitality, sapping my strength and causing severe headaches, bearing-down pains and . general worn-out feeling, until I really had no desire to live. had many medicines recommended to me and tried many, but did not get permanent relief until took Dr. Pierce's Favorite Pre- scription.. In two months was much better and stronger and in four months was well. Have had no more disagree able discharge, no more pain; so have every reason to praise 'Favorite Pre-
