STRICKLAND IN THE EAST.
Rumored Plans of the New Interur-
ban Line Project.

For the last month or more J. +.
Strickland, president of the Texas
Traction company, which company is
to construct the interurban line be-
tween Dallas and Sherman, has been
in the North perfecting arrangements
for the beginning of work on this
new enterprise. For some time he
has been expected back in the city,
but it was learned at the offices of
the Texas Traction company this
morning that he would probably not
be back in the city until about the
first of the coming month.
Rumors are current to the effec
| that the new line will enter the cit,
over the tracks of the Dallas Consoli
dated company; in fact, it has al
ready been announced that trackag
| arrangement has been made by tn
I new company. From what can b'
| learned it is believed that the cars
will enter the city over the Bryan
and Live Oak street tracks of the
Consolidated company.
These tracks have recently been
repaired and a heavy steel rail in
stalled from the Episcopal college all
the way to the city, and as the inter
urban right of way comes into the
city limits near the end of the Bryan
street line il is more than probable
that this track is the one that the
interurban cars will use to reach the
heart of the business section.-Dal-

In consequence of frequent wetting of the feet, periods become painful and irregular, and frequently there are faint and dizzy spells, with loss of appetite, until life is a burden. All these symptoms point to de- rangement of the female organism which can be easily and promptly cured by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegeta- ble Compound.
