Richmond has a good opinion of the
Indiana Railroad commission. So has
Winchester. The commission has
lcorracied railroad conditions which
lave existed there to the detriment of
the people. In speaking of the work

the Herald of thst city says:
Perhaps no official body ever created
by legislative enactment has been of
greater Benefit 10 all the people than
the Railroad commission of this state.

EMPLOYEES
AND CHANGE MAKING
Not Required to Furnish
Change by Law.
LIMIT PUT ON PENNIES.

1t is not generally known in Rich
mond that the postmaster and his
clerks are not compelled to make
change when a purchase is made at
the local federal building, but such
is the case. This is queer rule and
it is said that there is not one person
in every one thousand in Richmond
who knows it. Buyers of stamps or
any other purchasers, at the local
postoffice must furnish their own
change, t. e., the postmaster or his
assistants could insist on buyer fur
nishing his own change if he saw fit
to do so. but as a general rule the
postoffice attaches are only too glad
TO get rid of their chicken feed"
and therefore always ready and will
ing to accommodate the public by
the change. Neither are the
postoffice attaches required to take
more than twenty-five pennies unless
they want to do so.

Two thousand and seventyLine
nautical miles from Boston brings
one to the island San Miguel of the
Azores We landed at Porta Delgado
at 11:15 a. m. February Sth. after
couple of hours sailing along one
side Of the beautiful island of $40
square miles, with the splendidly pic
turesque southern view of carefully
cultivated small, hedge divided farms,
tropical yegation, great wind mills
here and there in the rolling volcanic
island and tile and flat rooted houses
and churches of varigated appear
ance Here in the small coast city of
10000 we were to have five hours.
One wondered on being greeted on
landing by such multitude of ordin-
airy and odd-looking people after be-
ing pulled ashore in small boats man
ned by bare-footed men and boys of
Portuguese nationality, if this were
the usual scene upon the anchorage
in harbor of a large steamer. We
found the crowd had assembled from
over ali the island. 1t was their an
nual festival called THE Battle of
Flowers" At / p. m. at San Fran
cisco square, the affair was to begin.
The square was a large open space
with band stand in the center and
surrounded by the cathedral San Sab
astian, public buildings and homes of
the well-to-do. The parade was not
extremely pretentious. There were
quite a number of flower and tinsel-
covered vehicles from an ox-cart to
the most modern carriage with one
the property of one of
the consuls. Music, mirth and merry
prevailed. Under hot Feb
ruary semi-tropical sun, flowers, con-
fette and curiously-contrived souven-
irs were thrown from balconies, car
riages and by the rabb1e in the inter-
esting battle of flowers. There were
no wounded but many wearies. We
had time to look through one home
and the Cathedral. One decoration
on the walls of the latter was ter
rible relief likeness of Jesus descend
ing into hell to save men out of the
flames. Every place was immacu-
late, the streets paved, the people
quiet and kind. The people dress
according to their position
and means but there is a typica. dress
of black which the women wear con-
with a mammoth hood de-

HONEST MEDICINE
TRY DR.. WILLIAMS PINK PILLS
FOR STOMACH TROUBLE.
Convincing Evidence Supported by
Guarantee That Must Convince
The Most Skeptical.

DIR. Williams Pink Pills are doctors
prescription, used by an eminent prac-
titioner, and for nearly a generation
known as a reliable household remedy
throughout the United States. Need
less to say, no advertised medicine could
retain popular favor for so long period
without having great merit and it is the
invaluable curative properties of the pills
that have made them a standard remedy
in every civilized country in the world.
Added TO this is the absolute guarantee
that the pills contain no harmful drug,
opiate, narcotic or stimulant. A recent
evidence of their efficacy is found in the
statement of Mrs. n. b. Whitley, of
Boxley, Ark, who says:
II had suffered for a good many years
from stomach trouble. For long time
/ was subject to bad spells of faintness
and lack of breath accompanied by an
indescribable feeling that seemed TO
start in my stomach. Whenever / was
little rundown or over-tired, these
spells would come on. They occurred
frequently but did not last very long.
Il was confined to my bed for ten
weeks one time and the doctor pro-
nounced my trouble chronic infiamma-
ton of the stomach and bowels. Since
that time [ have been subject to the
fainting spells and at other times to fiut-
tering of the heart and a feeling as
though / was smothering. My general
health was very bad and / was weak and
trembling.
Il had seen DR.. Williams Pink Pills
mentioned in the newspapers and de-
cided to try them. When l began taking
the pills / was SO un-down in strength
that could hardly do any Homework.
Now could walk ten miles if necessary.
Both my husband and myself think DIR.
Williams Pink Pills the best medicine
made and we always recommend the
pills to our friends"
Dr. Williams Pink Pills actually make
new blood and give strength and tone TO
every part of the body. They have
cured serious disorders of the blood and
nerves, such as rheumatism, sciatica,
anemia, nervousness, headaches, partial
paralysis, locomotor ataxia, ST. Vitus'
dance and many forms of weakness in
either sex. They are sold by all drug
gists or will be sent, postpaid, on receipt
of price, so cents per box, six boxes for

AGAINST STEEL T
AN OLD ENGINEER SAYS THEY
ARE NOT PRACTICABLE.
Reason He Assigns Is That There
Must Be Yielding Point
Somewhere.

RAILROAD officials in the engineering
department and engineers who have
long run locomotives are not taking
much stock in the steel ties. One of
tie Oldest engineers on the Pennsylva-
MIA says: There is too much rigid
surface to the present locomotive 10
allow the steel tie to be used. In
other words. the distance covered by
the wheels of the locomotive of today
from the first pony wheel to the wheel
under The cab of a modern locomotive
is bout seventy-two feet. This pre-
cents seventy-two inflexible feet, made
so by the extreme weight resting on
the wheels, and there is not one parti-
Gle of give to these wheels save to the
axle or center.
'The flanges of these wheels present
the same as rigid bar of steel and it
can be seen at a glance that something
must give a trifle when the engine
would be eased around a curve. The
wheels don't give and they can not be
built to give, and the engine would not
be safe if the wheels did give, and so
the Ties CT rails. OF pOSSIDIy bOIH,
must yield somewhat. The wooden
tie does yield a little, as the heavy en-
CINE. with its seventy-two feet of rig
id surface presses on the curve and
allows the rail to give little also and
many of the broken rails may be at
tributed to the rigid steel ties which
will not yield to the rigid surface of
the locomotive"

NEW HIGH RECORD.

Another new high record has been
made in the handling of freight by
the Pennsylvania. The greatest ag-
gregate movement of freight cars in
the history of the company is disclos-
ed by the record OF May. The total
freight car mileage for the month was
122, 100 1903. During May there was
also high record for the interchange
of freight cars between the lines east
and west of Pittsburg. On May IS
the interchange totaled S.704 cars,
which is ESQ more cars than had ever
passed between the lines before.

WHEAT YIELD WILL BE
ABOVE EXPECTATIONS
Trade Authority Says Quality Will Be
Good-Corn and Oats Are Max
ing Good Progress.

Cincinnati, o., July 12-Price Cur
rent says of the crop situation:
Harvesting of winter wheat is under
way. The indications are for better
yield and quality than has been expect
ed. Reports to this effect are general
and evidences of disappointment are
exceptional. The expectation of good
quality is an encouraging feature. as
good grain is accompanied with good
yields oftener than otherwise But
little threshing has been done as yet,
and cutting will be in process longer
than usual owing to the popularity Of
the spring season and the irregular
manner in which the crop has come TO
maturity. The ripening and finishing
period of the winter wheat has been at
tended with favorable weather condi-
lions. and there is occasion for expect
ing as good results from the threshing
as could reasonably have been regard
ed probable or hoped for, in view of
the untoward influences affecting the
plant earlier in the season.
The oats crop is making gradual i'm
rrovement and shows a general better
ment in outlook as the season pro-
crosses. but there are a number of -
calities where the leaves are brown and
enough of unfavorable reports to make
the situation one of uncertainty owing
to the irregularity of the promise
The weather has been favorable for
of the corn crop. and in
many sections it is catching up with
the season.

Keep Well

Grape-Nuts

could not eat anything without dis
tress, | found | could take a dish of
Grape-Nuts with cream or good milk,
and feel built up like | had eaten a full
meal. and yet have none of the I'M
pleasant effects of indigestion. 1 wish
people knew its worth.
1T seems to me trained nurses and
physicians could use it to such good
advantage. 1t is really the most
nourishing and easily digested food
ever tried"
GrapeNuts food is now recommend
ed by physicians all over the world
They know it contains the delicate
particles of Phosphate of Potash OBJ
tanned from the field grains. This is
the element Nature combines with al
bumen of the food to build the soft
gray substance in the nerve centres
and brain, in the human body The
effect is in some WAYS like stimu-
liant. but does not wear off, for it is a
