Morning After This
Week.
LETTER FROM EUsTIs
The Company Tells Why II Has An
nounced the Change and Asks
the Public to Await
Results.

II the North Road change of sched-
ule does not please the patrons along
the line after six months trial. the
trains will be changed back to the old
time. The change comes on Monday
and Keokuk people believe that the
railroad will soon see that it was q
wise move to make the change.
Since the change was first announc-
ed in the Gate City several weeks
ago, the matter has created about as
much excitement along the line as
does q proposed trolley line and the
company has received a number of
petitions from various towns along the
line and the company sent represen-
tative out to make an inv sstigation.
The following letter from manager
Eustis for the people of Donnelison,
was sent to the agent at that place
and gives the company's side OF the
matter:

Der of our patrons at Donnellson pro-
testing against the change in the
schedule time of the passenger train
between Keokuk and Mt. Pleasant
which was then proposed and 1t has
been decided to make effective on May
23:: the schedule az it has been for
some years past providing for the
train to leave Keokuk in the morning
and return in the afternoon. and the
new plan is to be just the reverse that
is to leave Mt. Pleasant in the morn
ing and reurn in the evening.
The situation on that piece OF line is
\ that, In the nature of things, the traf
fic is SO small as to result in a loss
from the operation OF the passenger
train no matter which way it is run,
and during years past we have tried it
! both ways 1T has been running on
the present plan. not that it was EN-.
tirely satisfactory to the population
interested, but that the schedule OF
his kind it is believed returned the
greatest net earnings to the railroad
by a small amount and no schedule
would please all the population

GRAY HAIRS eANisHEp.

The old idea of using sage for dark
ening the hair is again coming in
vogue. Our grandmothers used to have
dark, glossy hair at the age of seventy
five, while our mothers have white
hair before they are fifty Our grand
mothers used to make sage tea"
and apply it to their hair. The tea
made their hair soft and glossy and
gradually restored the natural color.
One objection to using such a prepar-
alton was the trouble of making It, es-
pecially as 1t had to be made every
two or three days on account Of it
souring quickly. This objection has
been overcome. and by asking almost
any first class druggist for Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur the public can get a
superior preparation of sage, with the
admixture of sulphur, another valuable
remedy for hair and scalp troubles.
Daily use of this preparation will not
only quickly restore the color of the
hair but will also stop the hair from
falling out and make it grow. It is
sold by all druggists for soc and s1.00

Chemical Company. "A Cortlandt St.,

Lett Patient IN Worse Condition
Than Before When Blood Was
Restored Health Followed.

OF the many forms which rheumatism
takes, that which is popularity known as
sciatic rheumatism probably tortures
its victim more tinn any other. That
DIR. Williams Pink Pills have cured
this stubborn as well as painful trouble
IS q fact proved by the following state-
ment, and no sufferer who reads this
can afford to let anything stand in the
way OF trying this treatment.
The cure Of Mr.. George III. Owen, Of
No. ~ Lincoln Street, South Framing
ham, Mass. is convincing proof Of the
superiority of the tonic treatment with
DR.. Williams Pink Pills over the usual
medical treatments for sciatica. Mr..
Owen is an engineer with the DENIM.
son Mfg. Co., where he has been en-
plOyed for over SO years, OF his cure,
Mr.. Owen says:
Through overwork and bad cold,
which settled in my back, was attack
ed by sciatica in my right leg several
years ago. was bent over with pain
which was continually present. It
grew SO much worse that the doctor re-
commended blistering plaster Then
my leg was lanced and the pain relieved
by injections Of morphine. After all
this treatment for the sciatica was
left in rundown condition and my
doctor failed to build up my strength.
My blood was in poor shape and had
no appetite. was restless at night.
There was constant, dull ache across
my back. During my sickness was
often confined to my bed and lost in
weight from 16S pounds to lis pounds.
II was in despair of ever getting
better but fortunately DR.. Williams
Pink Pills were recommended to me by
some friends. The pills soon had my
blood in good condition but, took them
steadily until was fully restored Il
health. / am very grateful for the
benefit DIR. Williams Pink Pills gave
me and always recommend them. =
II you are suffering from sciatica ane
the treatment you are taking is not re
lieving you, or il Won are actually get
ting worse while taking other treatment
then do not delay but give DR.. vii
iliams' Pink Pills thorough trial. Th'

the case being on the general line that
we were doing the best we could to
run the service in the manner that
would please the greatest number OF
people interested along the whole line
from Mt. Pleasant to Keokuk inclu-
sive- And they we're surprised there
when we presented evidence of the
views of a great many patrons IN
favor of the demand that the change
be made in the schedule. Particular
~ were they surprised when we were
presented the signatures of is people
in Salem representing practically
every business interest there. The re-
suit was that our Mt Pleasant friends
decided it would be wisest to with
draw their objection for the present
and study the question in the future
And we beg leave to suggest that our
friends at Donnellson who think We
should not make the change, should
be satisfied with that situation and let
it rest for the present.
1t must be obvious to fair minded
men that we arc puzzled to know what
to do; that our sole desire is to run
that passenger train in the way which
will serve the greater public need;
that it cannot make much difference
in money to US. either income or ex-
penses, which way we run it, and that
it does not pay operating cost which
ever way the schedule is made. We
believe in having made the change We
have complied with the wishes of the
greater number of patrons, and 1t
looks now as though the only fair
thing to do is to try it that ray for =
while and If after six months or a
years experience we can conclude
that we have not conformed to the
Whsle of the greater number, of
course we will change. But If We still
then think that our course is dictated
| by public demand, we should be per-
fectly satisfied to have the question
taken up by those who hold the con.
trary views to the Board of Railroad
Commissioners that they may decide
what is the real public need

he scored two doubles and triple,
his talents would never have come

Doom at that time had an accurate
whip to second, held up his pitchers
with a cleverness that few minor
leaguers could exert, and he had that
old batting eye rarely exhibited by
youngsters. Ottunnwa had Doom
signed for only one year, and 1898
found him in Kansas City, where he
remained but short time until the

were presented to the court. by counsel
representing the applicants, Attorney
Cleary argued a point as to the con
stitutionallty of the new law which
places the granting of druggists permits
within the jurisdiction of the district
instead of the county court as heretofore.
The applicants for permits we're Drug
