BAD BLOOD.

Is the cause of nine tenths OF the ills
which the human body is afflicted
The symptoms of which range from
the dreaded contagious blood poison
to the minutest eruption on the skin.
They include rheumatism, catarrh.
scrofula, eczema, erysipelas, pimples,
boils, ulcers, running sores, inflamed
eyes, and enlarged glands down to
sick headache and a muddy or sallow
complexion. The prescription of DR..
Simpson, (the noted blood Specialist
of Richmond, Ind.) known as DR.. A. B.
Simpsons Vegetable Compound, is the
most powerful Alternative, or blood pur-
ifier, ever known. It's reputation was
firmly established few years ago, by
curing apparently hopeless cases, was
certified by county and city officials,
and widely noted by the press; since
which thousands have been relieved
by it's use.
Good blood invariably means vigor-
Gus health, and appetite, good diges-
ton, strength, and clear, healthful
complexion. This is assured to all
who try this remedy; it's remedial eff
fects are apparent with the first few
doses.
DR.. Simpsons Vegetable Compound
is purely vegetable, and is harmless
as it is effective. It is put up in con-
venient form at one dollar per bottle
and is sold at all drug stores.

RAILWAY CONDUCTORS.
The Many and Varied Duties They
Have to Perform.

The Many and Varied Duties They
Have to Perform.
As a conductor he will probably be-
gin in the freight service. His caboose
will be a travelling Office. and, more
than that. it will carry all the gossip OF
the division up and down the line. 1t
may be q homely little car. but 1t 10
just as sure to be homelike place.
From it's elevated outlook he may COM
mand a good view Of the train away
ahead to the engine, and he will be
supposed to know all the while that
the brakemen are attending to their
duties, that the train Is in good order,
particularly that there are no hot
boxes smoking away and in imminent
danger of setting fre to the train and
the valuable contents. There IL a deal
Of bookkeeping to DO accomplished in
that travelling Office. The conductor
will! receive the waybills Of the cars
of his train and their contents, and he
is held responsible for their safe de-
liveries to their destination or the juno
ton points where they are to be de-
livered to other lines.
When be comes to the passenger
service there will be still more book
keeping to confront him, and he will
have to be a man Of good mental at
tainments to handle all the many,
many varieties Of local and through
tickets. mileage books, passes and 9th
er forms Of transportation contracts
that come to him. to detect the good
from the bad, to throw out the coun-
terfeits that are constantly being offer
ed to him. He will have to carry quite
a money account for cash affairs, and
he knows the mistakes will have to be
paid for out Of his own pocket.
All that is only a phase Of his bust
ness. He is responsible for the care
and safe conduct of his train. equally
responsible in the last respect with the
engineer He also receives and signs
for the train orders. and he is required
to keep in mind every detail OF the
trains progress over the line. He will
have his own assortment Of questions
to answer at every stage OF the jour
ney, and he will be expected to main
tain the discipline of the railroad upon
its trains. That may mean in the one
instance the ejectment Of a passenger
who refuses to pay his fare-and still
he must not involve the road in any
big damage suit-or in another the sub
jugation of some gang of drunken loaf.

INDIANA RESULT
FAVOR DEMOCRATS
In Majority Of Municipal EIec-

Were Defeated.
QUITE HEAVY VOTE CAST
FIGHTS ENLlvEN THE MOST
STRENUOUS CONTESTS BUT NO
TROOPS WERE NEEDED TO
COOL OFF THE HoT-HEADs.

indianapolis, Nov. 3-Authentic re-
turns received from scores of cities
and towns throughout Indiana yester-
day where municipal elections were
held show that the majority of the
contests were won by the democrats.
In many instances the tickets were
evenly split and in several, city poll
tice suffered complete reversal, there
being a reversal from the former es-
tablished majorities.
Fights were especially bitter in FIT.
Wayne. in Kokomo, in Terre Haute,
Evansville, South Bend and in Muncie,
while considerable interest was mani
fest in Richmond. Vincennes, Craw-
louisville, Oakland City and many
other points.
General Interest.
Generally fair weather and an arous-
ed interest over local issues was the
cause Of q heavy vote being polled.
Trouble, that was feared in several
places, failed to materialize and there
we're comparatively few arrests, and
these mostly were for disturbances of
minor character at the polls.
In the new town of Gary, which at
tracted statewide attention on the
eve of the election by predicted riot
ing that prompted Governor Marshall
to hold the militia in readiness at
South Bend for instant action. But
the troops were not needed and the
election at the steel city was held qui-
city, with only few arrests.
Riotine in Terre Haute.
Rioting and clashes were frequent in
Terre Haute. Charges and counter
charges of illegal voting were made
and fights In the vicinity of the vot,
Ing places were frequent. Louis Ger
hardt, democratic nominee for mayor,
won by substantial plurality.
In Charlottesville the republicans
made almost a clean sweep OF the
ticket, though the mayoralty race was
close, Capt. NJ v. Vert winning by a
small plurality. FIT. Wayne, which is
normally democratic by 500, elected
Jesse Grice, Rep), to the office of
mayor by a plurality of s31. The re-
publicans also elected the police judge,
city clerk and most of the councilmen.
Warsaw went republican. In Peru
the democrats made practically clean
sweep. Oakland City, which formerly
was entirely democratic, went fepub-
lican by an overwhelming majority.
Wabash is democratic from head to
foot of the ticket for the third time.
Martinsville had close contest, with
the republicans leading slightly. At
Evansville there were a number of ar
rests, but on the whole the polling
places were orderly. The republicans
carried the ticket, electing Charles F.
Heilman mayor. In Lafayette for the
third time, the democrats carried the
city.
