desire of the managers that led to the
use of equipment of increased weight
The public requested higher speed and
additional conveniences and comforts
in travel The managers were not
only anxious to meet their wants but
they resolved to apply all known at
tachments for safety and economy.
With this combination, increased
weight of equipment and heavier
trains could not be avoided
1T will be suggested that with a
less number of cars per train lighter
locomotives could be used This OF
number of trains in a certain territory
in given time. and would not only
invite delays but would add TO the
danger of accidents
While it is true that some of the
heavier types of locomotives have not
developed the hauling capacity per
unit of weight that is possessed by the
lighter engines. yet the cost of oper-
ating them per ton is largely less than
the light engines. Daily experience
shows that the heavier power assures
the delivery of larger amount OF
freight in a shorter time, and totai
less cost per ton movement than can
possibly be accomplished by lighter

The Evolution of
Household Remedies.

The modern patent medicine bus1-
ness is the natural outgroWth OF inc
old-time household remedies.
In the early history of this country,
EVERY FAMILY HAD ITS HOME
MADE MEDICINES. Herb teas,
bitters, faxatives and tonics, were to be
found in almost every house, compound
ed by the housewife, sometimes assisted
by the apothecary or the family doctor.
Such remedies as picra, which was
aloes and quassia, dissolved in apple
brandy. Sometimes hop tonic, made
of whiskey, hops and bitter barks. A
score or more of popular, homemade
remedies were thus compounded, the
formulate for which were passed along
from house to house, sometimes written,
sometimes verbally communicated.
The patent medicine business Is
natural outgrowth from this whole
some. old-time custom. In the begin
ming, some enterprising doctor, i'm
pressed by the usefulness of one OF
these homemade remedies, would take
it up. improve it in many ways, manu-
facture it on large scale, advertise 1t
mainly through almanaes for the home,
and thus it would become used over a
large area. LATTERLY THE HOUSE
HOLD REMEDY BUSINESS TOOK
A MORE EXACT AND SCIENTIFIC
FORM.
Perana was originally one of these
old-time remedies. Itwas used by the
Eennonites, Of Pennsylvania, before it
was offered to the public for sale. DR..
Hartman, THE ORIGINAL COM
FOUNDER OF PERUNA, is of Men
MONTE origin. First, he prescribed it
for his neighbors and his patients.
The sale of it increased, and at last he
established a mandatory and fur
nished it to the general drug trade.
Peruna is useful in a great many
climatic ailments, such as coughs, colds,
sore throat, bronchitis, and catarrhal
diseases generally. THOUSANDS OF
FAMILIES HAVE LEARNED THE
USE OF PERUNA and its value in the
treatment of these ailments. They
have learned to trust and believe In
Dr.. Hartman's judgment, and to rely
ON his remedy, Peruna.

TROUBLE DOWN IN TEXAS.
New Law Means Big Expenditures
and Cuts in Wages


Laws passed by the recent session
of the Texas legislature will have the
effect of causing the roads to expeno
large sums of money, and at the Same
time will reduce the earnings OF the
trainmen considerably Under old
conditions trainmen might earn $14O
a month. Under the new laws II VIII
not be possible for them to earn more
than Sis.
The new laws. however. will involve
an increase in the NUMBER OF men n en- N
ployed so that on the principle OF the
greatest good to the greatest NUMBER
the change may not be entirely OBJ
jectionable. Divisions VIII have TO De
shortened. as will the limit or hours
men NAV be employed continuously
Laws requiring large expenditures
on the part of the roads are being Sc
verely criticised by officials. These
measures require electric headlights:
full train crews and reduction of
hours. These three laws. it is said,
will require an expenditure OF $1,5Oo,-
900 for initial compliance
1t is estimated that the Sunset
route OF the Southern Pacific alone
viii have to spend s253 900 to comply
with the new laws. Commenting on
the requirements. w. C. Van Week,
manager of the Sunset lines, saws:
There must be a line of demarca-
tives stares the railroads in the face.
Either they must go out of business or
cut wages. Ten years have seen
huge increase in wages, in cost OF con-
struction and maintenance, in the
amount of luxury demanded by the
ma ssenger in the speed demanded by
the shipper in every line of railroad
activities. and yet the tendency al
ways has been to lower rates
How can railroad survive, now
can any industrial enterprise live,
which is forever the plaything Of law
makers and construers2 With every
thing increased except the tariff
charges which have been lowered, is
it remarkable that conservative rail-
road men have begun to issue warning
of a business depression that has had
no equal in the industrial experience
of the United States? The depression
may be some time off. but it is coming,
and when it arrives no man can say
what business organizations or what
abor associations will emerge I'M
scsthed from the struggle"

Coming

The A. S. Lewis Big Tent Shows
which will begin a three day engage
ment here next Thursday, July 18th,
is conceded to be one of the most
unique and novel entertainments ON
the road.
The interior of a large circus tent
is converted into a beautiful theater
with mammoth stage, scenery and eff
fects.
The Lewis shows carry a band of
l5 pieces and an orchestra of 9 pieces.
Free concerts will be given at 1870
each evening in addition to a big
street parade at noon
The press of other nearby cities
speak of the Lewis show in the most
fattering terms and from the fact that
they stay 3 days in each city, it is
reasonable to assume that they pre-
sent an entertainment of merit.
The prices have been reduced to 35
and Is cents and DeSmet will no
doubt greet the show with a packed
tent next Thursday evening, as it al
ways does an attraction worthy of its
patronage.

several little thoughts we're rapidly
chasing each other around inside our
think box. One was how to get out
of that mud, another, how to get
another suit, for we had our Sunday
"togs" on. The latter proposition
frequently confronts newspaper men,
SO we felt not alone on that score.
Our good wife was family heard to
say something about going in swim
ming with good clothes on, and about
getting into the gutter on the way
home from town. Our good horse
had stopped on reaching hard ground
and waited till we waded out and
caught him. Then we went to the
house to get someone to come with a
team, and draw that buggy with its
precious contents out of that water,
We found Mrs. Gilbert at home, but
Mr.. q. was a half mile away working
in the field. The good lady sent a
little boy to the field with the tender
message, and hurriedly furnished
water and clean towel and babe us
wash. The kind lady sympathically
told u2 she was sorry, we told her we
were, and we told the truth. Most
newspaper men do sometimes. Mr..
Gilbert helped us out of all our
difficulties connected with the IN
fortunate affair, and we went on our
way rejoicing that ID was no worse.
Both Mr.. and Mrs. Gilbert were as
kind and helpful as anyone could be,
and we fully appreciate their efforts.

THE MARKETS.

The bulls are once more in control
of the grain market and during the
asst few days wheat has advanced
about 5 cents. Reports of low yield
in Kansas and rust and green bugs in
localities OF the northwest are re-
sponsible for the advance. The
amount of damage is purely specula-
tive, and it would seem as if such re-
ports had already been fully discount
ed by the advance in price. The
Sept. option closed Tuesday in
Minneapolis at $l.03s as against S0sc
on the corresponding day a year ago.
Flax futures are holding up to a
surprising degree, the October option
closing Tuesday at $l.22. Dat futures
reflect some of the strength shown by
wheat and the Sept. option closed at
3Sc in Chicago, while December corn
in Chicago closed at 53sc against 40!
