NEW RATES ON THREE LINES Freight and Passenger Acts in Effect. SEVEN ROADS HAVE GIVEN IN Mobile and Ohio the Only Local Line With Reduced Rates. Four Roads Have Indicated They VIII Not Surrender To Governor Co., mer--Modiacation of InJunc-
 ton in Each
 Case.
SEVEN ROADS HAVE GIVEN IN

For the first time. railroad tickets were sold at the Montgomery union 3 station yesterday morning to the gen. eraI public for less than three cents mile, without any of the limitations as to dates and places that are thrown about excursion tickets.
 For yesterday was the day upon which some of the roads which surren- dered to the State in its controversy with the various rail lines put the new rates into effect. Of the seven lines which have so far surrendered and agreed to put the reduced freight and passenger rates into effect pending the litigation, three put those rates in ef- feet September 1. Only one or the tlee lines, however, runs into Mont gomery.
 These three roads are the Southern, the Mobile and Ohio, and the Frisco. The Southern and Frisco have no lines leading into Montgomery, and indeed the Frisco has only one line in the State that leading from Birmingham to the Mississippi line, towards Memphis. The Mobile and Ohio which is allied with the Southern is the only one Of the three which runs into Montgomery.
 Another line allied with the South ern, the Alabama Great Southern, will put the new rates in effect next Thurs day, September 5, that being the date selected by 1t for the initiation of the sw tariffs for freight and passenger traffic.
 Two other Alabama railroads, the Seaboard Air Line and the Atlantic and Birmingham, which is allied with the Sea oard, are effipected to put the re- duced rates in effect at an early date. The two roads signified their intention August 16 of making the reduced rates effective pending the litigation between the State and the railroads. but no definite date. beyond the use of the term immediately" was set for the change. The local offices have not yet received notification of the exact date when the reduced rates will be estab- H-led. It is understood the new rate sheets are now being prepared.
 Int Atlantic Coast Line, the seventh of the roads to abide by the wishes of ( Svernor Conner. has agreed to make the lower rates effective on the single line of that system in Alabama. October 1.

leased a negro on habeas corpus who had been bound over for vagrancy be- cause of the fact that the Justice of the Peace should have taken final Ju- risdiction.
 The petition for a writ of habeas corpus in the Langford case alleges that the negro is being illegally re- strained of his liberty. that he is not guilty. that there is no probable cause of guilt. that Justice Young has no authority to pass final judgment, and that the punishment is excessive, iiIe- gal and contrary to law.
 It IS not imp 0bable that habeas cor pus proceedings may not reach a hear ing because of the likelihood of Lang ford making a bond of $200 for the appeal of his case to the City Court, demanding a trial by jury.
 Day Jailer Pettus was served yes- terday with the necessary papers so that Langford might not be taken away to serve his sentence.

Mrs La Salle Corbell Pickett, widow of the brave Confederate general who won a deathless fame on the field of Gettysburg. has a charming article on queen Dolly Madison in the septem- Der Lippincott's. In 1t she throws some interesting sidelights on the character of this former mistress of the White House. The complete novel is A detective story called "A Chain of Evidence" by Carolyn Wells. Miss Wells Is better known for her humor- ous work. but that she can write sert- ous fiction of high order is amply evidenced by this very entertaining narrative. George l..

US. DlSPENSATORY
Describes the Principal Ingredients
Contained in Pe-ru-na.

Are we claiming too much for Pc
runa when we claim it to be an
effective remedy for chronic catarrh?
Have we abundant proof that Pc
runa is in reality such a catarrh
remedy? Let us see what the Unit
ed States Dispensatory says Of the
principal ingredients of Peruna.
Take, for instance, the ingredient
hydrastis canadensis, or golden seal.
The United States Dispensatory says
of this herbal remedy, that it is
largely employed in the treatment of
depraved mucous membranes, chron-
ic rhinitis (nasa1 catarrh), atomic
dyspepsia (catarrh of the stomach),
chronic intestinal catarrh, catarrhal
jaundice (catarrh of the liver), and
in diseased mucous membranes of
the pelvic organs. 1t is also recon-
mended for the treatment of various
forms of disease peculiar to women.
Another ingredient of Peruna,
corydalis formosa, is classed in the
United States Dispensatory as a
tonic. So also is cubebs classed as a
stomachic and as tonic for the mu-
cous membranes
Cedron seeds is another ingredient
of Peruna, an excellent drug that
has been very largely overlooked by
the medical profession for the past
fifty years. The seeds are to be
found in very few drug stores. The
United States Dispensatory says of
the action of cedron that it is used
as a bitter tonic and in the treatment
Of dysentery, and in intermittent
diseases as substitute for quinine.
Oil of copaiba, another ingredient
Of Peruna, is classed by the United
States Dispensatory as mild stimu-
liant and diuretic. It acts on the
stomach and intestinal tract It
acts as a stimulant on the genito-
urinary membranes. Useful in
chronic cystitis, chronic dysentery
and diarrhea, and some chronic dis
eases of the liver and kidneys.
Send to us for free book of tes-
timonials of what the people think
of Peruna as a catarrh remedy. The
best evidence is the testimony of
those who have tried it.

AWFUL NEURALGIA
Pain Turned This Woman's Hair
White but She Was Cured by
DR.. Williams Pink Pills.


Do not seek relief from suffering
simply, but free your system from the
disease which is the cause Of your
sun herring. That is the message which
former victim of neuralgia sends to
those who are still in its grasp. Hot
applications, powders that deaden the
senses ami others that reduce the
heart action may cause temporary re-
lief but the pain is sure to return with
greater intensity.
Mrs. Evelyn Creusere, who has a
beautiful home at Sill Boulevard
West, Detroit. Mich, suffered for
years with neuralgia until she tried
this tonic treatment She says:
My trouble began about six years
ago and l did not rest as l should
have, but kept up about my many
duties After time l became so
weak l could not do any work at all.
| had severe backaches and such
dreadful headaches in the back part
and top of my head. My eyes were
easily tired and at times l saw black
spots before them. l consulted sew
eral doctors but without the slightest
benefit. The pains were SO intense
that my hair turned white.
Il lost continually in weight and
strength and was almost in despair
when a friend recommended DR.. VIII
liams' Pink Pills 1 tried them &C
cording to directions and soon began
to feel relief. At the end OF three
months | had gained ten pounds in
weight and had no more trouble with
my nerves. / have been in perfect
health ever since and can heartily
commend DR.. Williams Pink Pills

MISS GRACE &. MILLER

az am not feeling very WELL" II
an so nervous it seems as though I
should fly" My back aches as though
1t would break"
How often do you hear these signi-
fcant expressions from WON n
friends. More than likely you speak
the same words yourself, and there
is cause.
More than thirty years ago Lydia
E. Pinkham of Lynn, Mass. discovered
the source of nearly all the suffering
endured by her sex 'Woman's Ills,"
these two words are full of more
misery to women than any other two
words that can be found in the
English language. Sudden fainting,
depression of spirits. reluctance to
go anywhere, backaches, headaches,
nervousness, sleeplessness, bearing
down sensations, displacements and
irregularities are the bane of woman
existence.
The same woman who discovered
the cause of all this misery also
discovered remedy. Lydia e. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound made
from native roots and herbs holds
the RECORD LOT greater HuLiooi "
absolute cures of female ills than any
other one remedy the world has ever
known and it is the greatest blessing
which ever came into the lives of
suffering women.
Don't try to endure, but cure the
cause of all your suffering. Lydia e.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound at
once removes such troubles. The
following letters prove this:

This is Worth Saving.

The following simple homemade
mixture is said to relieve any form of
Rheumatism or backache, also cleanse
and strengthen the Kidneys and Blad-
der, overcoming all urinary disorders,
if taken before the stage of
Bright's disease: Fluid Extract Dande-
lion, one-half ounce; Compound Kar-
goa, one ounce; Compound Syrup Sar-
saparilla, three ounces. Mix by shak-
ing well in bottle and take in tea
spoonful doses after meals and at bed
time.
A well-known authority states that
these ingredients are mainly of vege-
table extraction, and harmless to use,
and can be obtained at small cost from
any good prescription pharmacy. Those
who think they have kidney trouble
or suffer with lame back or weak blad-
der or rheumatism, should give this
prescription a trial, as no harm can
possibly follow its use. and it is said
to do wonders for some people.

Pruning Tomatoes.

Men and women who grow a few
fine tomatoes in their own gardens for
or less pruning of the vines. Pruning
is also practiced Systematically when
tomatoes are grown in hothOuses. AS
a rule. the field culture of tomatoes is
not sufficiently remunerative to make
pruning profitable. Prof. Munson found
that pruning the plants after a part of
the fruit had set increased the yield
more than one-third. This was under
conditions of field culture. 1t is pos
sible that where the market is good an
increase of one-third in the crop would
pay for the work of pruning
