SHOULD BELONG TO PUBLIC.
Gov. Deneen of Illinois Says Water
Power Developed by Canal Should
be Owned by the State.

Springfield, Il.-Gov. Deneen Tues
day sent to the legislature message
relating to the conservation of water
power as incident to construction at
public expense of the proposed deep
waterways from the great lakes to the
Gulf of Mexico, involving an expendi-
ture of $20,O00,000. The message said
that in order to secure approval by
the people of constitutional amend
ment authorizing such expenditure 1t
is essential that the water power, de-
veloped by the expenditure of $780,
100000, should be owned and con-
trolled by the state so that the state
may be recouped for its expenditures
and a fund created for further devel-
opment and extension of the interna-
tional waterway system and that the
development should not be unneces-
sarily complicated by questions of
private ownership.

TUMoRs CONQUERED
Overwhelming Proof that Lydia E. Pinkhams
Vegetable Compound Succeeds.

One OF the greatest triumphs of
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound is the conquering of woman's
dread enemy Tumor.
The growth of tumor is so in
sidious that frequently its presence
is wholly unsupported until it is we'll
advanced.
So called wandering pains" may
come from its early stages or the
presence of danger may be made
manifest by excessive monthly peri
DDS accompanied by unusual pain, from
the abdomen through the groin and
thigh.
If you have mysterious pains, II
there are indications of Inflammation
or displacements, secure a bottle OF
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound, made from native roots and
herbs, right away and begin its use.
The following letters should con.
vince every suffering woman of its
virtue, and that it actually does
conquer tumors.

MAKES A SPLENDID SHOWING.
Missouri Paeific's Gross Earnings In
crease, and Expenses Decrease.

The Missouri Pacific system (includ-
ing the St Louis, Iron Mountain &
Southern and the Central Branch)
operated last year for 66.S per cent,
as against ratio of 679 per cent
In the preceding year. which, on its
face, is a very creditable showing,
and which improves upon examina
ton. Gross earnings were $4S, 703, 342.
the largest in the history of the com,
pany; net earnings were SIG, 1885, 7z
To net earnings add $3,2S3, 2S2 other
income. and the total available income
is $19,471, 555. of which taxes, inter
est on funded debt and equipment
trust obligations, and sundry Other
charges consumed COS per cent, or
s11, 773, 452. The s7,69S,103 remainder
equaled 90 per cent. on the outstand-
ing s77,s17.s75 capital stock.
That this result was not obtained at
the expense of the property is shown
by the following percentages: Gross
earnings increased 9.3 per cent; ex-
penditures for maintenance of equip
ment increased 81 per cent; expendi-
lures for maintenance of way and
structures increased 9.S per cent; the
cost of conducting transportation in
creased &c per cent; general ex-
penses increased II per cent. The
secret of the company's showing is in
the small increase in the cost of con-
Quoting transportation. Expenditures
for maintenance increased in greater
ratio than gross earnings, but as
against an increase of 9.3 per cent. in
gross earnings Is an increase of but
rs per cent. in the cost of conduct
ing transportation.
There is obviously nothing in the
showing made by the company for the
last fiscal year to account for the fact
that the stock is selling at the lowest
price since 1900, when it was a non
dividend bearing security. 1t has
earned and paid its 5 per cent. year
since then. The price of the stock
must be supposed to be due, partly, to
financial conditions affecting all Sc
curities, and partly to the fact thai
/ in the last two or three years there
has been no organized effort to sup
port Gould securities. They have beer
left to find their level with investors

pany has been fairly overwhelmed
