ALDRICH DROPS A HINT.
Indicates That He Favors the Idea of
Central Bank.

st. Louis, Nov. 9.-With emphasis
stronger than he used in his Chicago
speech, Senator Aldrich made 1t evil
dent to the business men of st. Louis
that it is his purpose to devote him
self for the present with especially
single mindedness to the one work of
reforming the currency system of the
United States. He spoke briefly before
"a limited gathering of bankers at the
MONDAY club and more extended1y at
a banquet given by the Commercial
club.
From this time forward said
Senator AIdrich, 1.-The commission will
give it's attention largely to conditions
in the United States; we shall call
upon men in whose judgment we have
confidence to present their views for
our benefit. The work upon which we
are entering must be the result of
practical suggestion rather than of
theoretical dissertation"
The nearest approach that Mr.. Aid
rich made to any indication of plan
was his return to the subject of bank
issues. He mentioned the fact that
the European countries were quite
agreed on that subject and referred
to the circumstances that most or
all of those countries maintain central
bank institutions for the issuance of
bank paper.
Senator Aldrich treasured his hear
| ers of his desire to hold the subject
entirely above political bias.

CUTICURA REMEDIES
CURED HER AT LAST

when was four years old humoe
came out on my scalp. It would maks
a thick scab in one night, itching and
burning terribly; NJ father spent
a doctor who could cure this humor,
but none Of them could ever help Il even
little bit. At the age Of fifteen years
I had the measles, and after that the
sore became maturated and had to
soak my hair out before could comb it.
My hair Game on in spots and my head
was in q bad shape.
About this time q friend Of my
father suggested he try Cuticura for me.
My father took this advice and bought
the Cuticura Soap. Cuticura Ointment
and Crticura Resolvent. I used them
faithfully and to my surprise they
stopped the itching at once, like cold
water to q burn. In q week my head
was clean from the scab but was very
red and inf1amed, but 1 had experienced
burning than ever before. I did not ex-
pect to be cured, as thought that moth
ing could do that, but had to use some
thing. all the time and Cuticura was
cheaper than doctors.
After some time, to my surprise. 1
awoke to the fact that my head was
cured. It was as free from the disease
as though had never suffered. I am
now forty-two and have never had any
sign Of my old trouble since was cured.
I owe health, happiness and life to
Cuticura. Every one thought it was in
that I was cured but thought It never
could be, but Cuticura made tho dream
come true. Fancy q child sitting up in
bed until tan or eleven o'clock scratch

DR.. COOKS DEFENSE.
The Explorer Replies to Attack Made
by Admiral Chester.

New York, Nov. 9.-Although he
announced early in the evening that
he had retired to a quiet place away
from New York" DIR. Frederick Cook
has caused to be issued through
friend a statement in answer to Rear
Admiral Chester of the National Geo
graphic society who discredited the
Brooklyn explorers claims in an in
terview at Washington. DR.. Cook
says:
This is the unbiased gentleman
who displayed such anxiety to pass
upon my records, and who now de-
sires to go to Copenhagen as an I'M
prejudiced witness. Do the American
people wonder that I have kept my
promise to the scientists of Denmark?
1.-The only point raised by Admiral
Chester is the suggestion of erroneous
location by the midnight sun. This
sight of the midnight sun on April
Ia, is no evidence of our position.
Though the. days had been clear the
northern skies had not been clear at
night for many days previous to TINS.
A low haze or cloudiness obscured the
horizon and the sun sank into this.
We did not use the sun at night for
observation. Nor did we stay awake
all night to watch effects. The orig
inal data which / will send to Copen7
hagen on Nov. rs by special messen-
ger, who will take passage on the
steamer United States of the Scandi-
navian-American line, will be accom-
panied by an analysis which I am now
preparing and which will I hope, make
it unnecessary for me to attend before
the University of Copenhagen to ex-
plain such questions as may arise up
on the original record of my observa-
ton.
my unaltered original field notes
and my instruments when I recover
them, will of course be available for
examination by the National Geograph-
ic society upon the condition that
Commander Peary agrees to submit
his original data and instruments for
examination at the University of CO.

PLENTY OF FRUIT CARS.
Union Pacific Officials Scout idea OF
Any Scarcity.

Council Bluffs, Ia. Nov. 9-The
Union Pacific Railroad company con-
tinues to move from it's local yards
daily many refrigerator cars of fruit
and. like the Chicago & Rock Island
scouts the idea sent out from the
western slope that there is a dearth
of cars. The company now believes
that it is well able. of its own accord
to take care of the fruit crop, and that
the anxiety lately shown by the east
ern markets has been quoted
There was a great crop this year,
but the railroads anticipated it, and
were prepared to move it," said a
prominent freight official Monday.
People on the western slope who
had fruit to be moved became fright
ened when they failed to see a long
string of cars on hand. But there
was no occasion for the scare. Prac-
tically no fruit has been lost up to
date on account of lack of cars on
any railroad
The workers in the freight yards
here are said to have all they can
possibly do to handle the number of
cars that arrive each day. The rail-
road officials do not deny that. early
in the season, the shippers were con-
siderably inconvenience but assert
that that time is now past, and that
all danger is over.

USE GASOLINE HAND CARS.
Santa Fee Pleased With Their Worl
and Orders Ten More.

Because the gasoline handcars have
met with such success by the en-
ployes of the Santa Fe that road some
time ago placed an order with the
manufacturers, the Tool and Railway
Speciality company, for ten more of
the same make and design. The work
on the cars had been somewhat de-
layed because of difficulty ex-
perienced in getting materials with
which to build them but at present
the manufacture of the gasoline ma
chimes is being carried on rapidly and
the company expects to deliver the
cars to the railway company on
schedule time. The new machine is
made on the order of an ordinary
handcar but has a gasoline engine at
tached. The drawback to similar
cars has been that they were not large
enough to carry several men and
their tools and still perform the work
of the old handcar. The car devised
by the inventors is one which, can be
used for all ordinary purposes that
the common handcar is used and is of
course great Improvement over the
Older in that it is fitted out with the
gasoline engine and relieves the
workmen from the hard work of
pumping the car to and from work.

SMOTHER|NG SPELLS
The Experience of This Kansas
Woman VIII Be Valuable to
Others of Her Sex.

To women who suffer, DIR. Williams
Pink Pills are worth their weight IN
gold. A woman needs medicine to re-
gulate her blood-supply or her life will
be a round of pain and suffering. DR..
Williams Pink Pills are of untold value
to women for they increase that portion
of the blood which absorbs oxygen, the
great supporter Of organic life. In this
way they may be said to make new
blood. They are good for men too but
are adapted in special way to the needs
of women and growing girls.
Women who suffer will find en-.
couragement in the cure of Mrs. Theo-
dore Bowman. of No. 1909 North Tenth
street, Coffeyville, Kansas, who says:
81 was troubled with smothering
spells for about three years and was a
sufferer with weakness common to my
sex. The smothering spells were worse
in the morning but would last until
noon. could scarcely get my breath.
They grew SO much worse that I could
get hardly any rest day or night had
gas ON the stomach and palpitation of
the heart.
MY doctor said chat would have to
undergo an operation. I did not con-
sent to this and received no help until !
tried Dr. Williams Pink Pills. The
pills gave me great relief il q reasonably
short time ana finally cured me. My
health has since continued to be good !"
Dr.. Williams Pink Pills have correct
ed serious disorders of the stomach, have
revitalized the nervous system and re-
stored to health sufferers from severe
disorders of the blood and nerves. For
rheumatism. indigestion, nervous head
aches and many forms of weakness and
debility DIR. Williams Pink Pills are
recommended even if ordinary remedies
have been tried without relief.
IF you are i'll and the treatment you
are taking does not cure you, write for
proof of what DIR. Williams Pink Pills
have done in similar cases. Their merit
has made them the most widely used
family medicine in the world today.
