Dramatic and Exciting Scenes.
The scenes attending the adjourn

Jerome and Delmas began, Thaw's

against them by the prosecuting attor-
ney.

Governor Of Illinois Asks $4,000 to

Fight Railroad.
Deneen has sent special message to
the legislature recommending an
emergency appropriation Of $15O,00O
for the purpose of preparation and
trial of the suit against the Illinois
Central Railway company to collect
back taxes claimed to be due the state
under it's charter provision requiring
the payment of z per cent of it's gross
earnings yearly to the state.
The investigation made by &C.
countants employed by the state, the
governor says, has demonstrated that
earnings amounting to large sums
have been wrongfully omitted from the
semi-annual statements and practices
have been for years in vogue whereby
In the apportionment of revenue be-
tween the various divisions of the sys.
tenn now operated by the company the
charter line earnings have been sys-
tematically and persistently minimized.
Large quantities of coal, lumber and
other materials are hauled free over
the charter lines for the benefit of the
other branch lines. This practice Is
characterized as "a mere device to
minimize the gross earnings Of the
charter line" Rebates and draw
backs have been allowed to shippers
against the income and receipts of
the charter line, thereby reducing the
amount of income and receipts. This
practice, the governor says, is clearly
Illegal and through it the state has
been deprived of revenue to which it
was Justly and honestly entitled.

ALL.BRITIsH MAIL ROUTE.
Plans About Ready for Presentation
to Parliament.

London, Jan. 1.-THE plans Of the
long discussed scheme for an all-Brit-
ish mail route from London to the Far
East by way of Canada are in course
of preparation for presentation to par
lament at an early date. The scheme
as at present proposed contemplates
the establishment of a new port at
Blacksod bay, in the extreme north
west of County Mayo, Ireland, and a
railway ferry from Stramraer, Scot
land, to Larne or Belfast, passengers
and mail being carried from London
to the steamers side without change.
It is claimed that the use of twenty
five knot steamers will bring Halifax
within four days of London and that
the voyage to Hongkong and Aus
tralian ports will be materially short
ened. If the plans mature the Cana
dian Pacific Railway company is likely
to be prominently identified with
them.

so many false formulas and malicious
statements concerning his medicines
had been published through the con-
nivance of jealous competitors and dis
gruntled doctors, that DR.. Pierce deter
mined to completely disarm his assail-
ants by a full and frank statement of
their exact composition, verifying the
same under oath as complete and cor
rect. This he has done and to the
complete discontinue of those who had
assailed his good name as we'll as the
well-earned reputation of his world
famed medicines.
Not only does the wrapper of every
bottle of DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery, the famous medicine for
weak stomach, torpid liver or bilious
ness and all catarrhal diseases wherever
located, have printed upon it, IN plain
English, full and complete list of all
the ingredients composing it, but a
small book has been compiled from
numerous standard medical works, of
all the different schools of practice,
containing very numerous extracts from
the writings of leading practitioners
of medicine, endorsing en- the strongest
possible terms, each and every ingred-
lent contained in DR.. Pierce's medi-
cines. One of these little books will be
mailed free to any one sending address
on postal card or by letter, to DR.. R. V.
Pierce, Buffalo, N. Y, and requesting
the same. From this booklet twill be
learned that DR.. Pierce's medicines con-
tain no alcohol, narcotics, mineral
agents or other poisonous or injurious
agents and that they are made from
native, medicinal roots of great value;
also that some of the most valuable in
gradients contained in DR.. Pierce's Fa-
vorite Prescription for weak, nervous,
over-worked, "run-down," nervous and
debilitated women, were employed, long
years ago by the Indians for similar
ailments affecting their squaws. In
fact, one of the most valuable medic
inal plants entering into the compost
ton of DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip-
ton was known to the Indians as
uSquawWeed." Our knowledge of the
uses of not few of our most valuable
native, medicinal plants was gained
from the Indians.
AS made up by improved and exact
processes, and with the use of specially
designed chemical apparatus, the VIA
vorite Prescri ption" is most efficient
remedy for regulating all the womanly
functions, correcting displacements, as
prolapsus, anteversion and retroversion,
overcoming painful periods, toning up
the nerves and bringing about perfect
state of health.

DR.. John Fyfe, of Saugatuck, Conn.,,
Editor of the Department of Therapeu-
tics in THE ELECTRIC REVIEW says OF
Unicorn root (Helo,aaas DioSca) one OF
the chief ingredients of DR.. Pierce's Fa-
vorite Prescriptions: "a remedy which
invariably acts as uterine invigorator
and always favors condition which
makes for normal activity of the entire
reproductive system, cannot fail to be
of great usefulness and of the utmost
Importance to the general practitioner
of incidence" .... -=
"Helonias more fully answers the
above purposes than asay other drug
qUith aohich I am acquainted. In the
treatment of diseases peculiar to women
it is seldom that a case is seen which
does not present some indication for
this remedial agent" .... ...-
vThe following are among the lead
ing indications for Helonias: Pain or
aching in the back, with leucorrhea;
atomic (weak) conditions of the repro
ductive organs of women, mental de-
preston and irritability, associated with
chronic diseases of the reproductive
organs of women, constant sensation of
heat in the region of the kidneys: menor-
rhagia, ("flooding") due to a weakened
condition of the reproductive system;
amenorrhea, arising from or accompa-
nying an abnormal condition of the
digestive organs and an anemic (thin
bloody habit; dragging sensations in the
extreme lower part of the abdomen"
If more or less of the above symptoms
are present, no invalid women can do bet
ter than take DR.. Pierce's Favorite Pre-
scription, which is rich in all the medicinal
properties of Unicorn root or HelOnias.

ment Of the Hartman lines, an
nounced during the day that they had
determined to take steps to prevent E.
H. Hartman, Henry G. Prick and H.

and they will be compelled to remain
within the jurisdiction Of the commits
sion until they have testified before
the board.
James H. Hiland, traffic manager of
the Chicago, Milwaukee and st. Paul,
was the first witness summoned. He
said that the Union Pacific and South
ern Pacific were formerly competitors
against each other for Pacific coast
business. Mr.. Hiland declared that
since the consolidation of the Union
Pacific and Southern Pacific his road
had experienced greater difficulty in
handling certain classes of freight.
Julius kruttschnitt, director of main.
tenance and operation on the Southern
Pacific Union Pacific system, followed
Mr. Hiland.
Attorney Kellogg asked Mr.. Krutt-
schnitt long series Of questions re-
garding his duties, the substance OF
his answers being that the witness is
in charge Of operation on all lines of
the Union Paciic-Southern Pacific
systems, except the lines in Texas.
Concerning those lines he is, he said,
frequently consulted by Mr.. Hartman
and President Lovett of the Texas
lines.
Other officials of the two Pacifics
followed Mr.. Kruttschnitt and were
questioned along the same lines. All
admitted holding the same position on
both Hartman roads.
