CURED
PROOF IS HERE
This Disease Is Form of
Neuralgia and Is Cured by
the Remedy That Cures
Other Forms.

Sciatica is neuralgia of the sciatic
nerve and the treatment should be the
! same as for other forms of neuralgia
So many severe cases of sciatica have
been cured by DR.. Williams Pink Pills
that every sufferer is justified in giving
the treatment thorough trial.
Sciatica, being an inflammation of the
nerve, may arise from many causes,
pressure on the nerve, a fall apon the
thighs, lifting heavy weights, or expo
sure such as most army veterans have
undergone.
Mr.. ]. H. Shamel, of R. F. D. No. 2,
| Cherryvale, Kansas. who served during
the Civil war. as member of Cos. E
and B. 10th. Ohio Infantry, describes
his cure of sciatica by DR.. Williams
Pink Pills as follows:
Ever since the close of the war had
suffered more or less with soiatica but
the most serious attack I had was in
January, 1908. was confined to bed
for nearly two months and had to be
propped up, as I could not lie down.
The disease affected my entire body but
was worse in the left side and hip. The
pains were so sharp that it seemed as
though knife was being run into me.
Oftentimes the pains would shift sud-
denly from my hips to my side and even
to the cords of my neck.
ST was under the care of doctors for a
long time but they did me no good.
Liniments did not help me and the in
lection of morphine was the only thing
that gave me relief. Ny daughter ad-
vised me to give DR.. Williams Pink
Pills trial. did and they gave me
wonderful benefit. The pain entirely
left me and have had no return of the
sciatica SINCE
Sciatica is stubborn in resisting treat
ment and the patient frequently suffers
for years. DIR. Williams Pink Pills do
not simply relieve pain but they cure
diseases caused by depraved or vitiated
blood They are also effacacious for the
treatment of even the most severe ner-
vous disorders.
Dr. Williams Pink Pills are sold by
all druggists, or will be sent, postpaid,
on receipt of price. 30 cents per box; six
boxes for 50. so, by the DR.. Williams
Medicine Company, Schenectady. N. Y.

Seattle, Nov. 26.-Giant electric To-
somotives are now shutting trains
back and forth through the two-mile
tunnel of the Great Northern trunk
line railroad which pierces the Cas-
cade mountains about 100 miles east
of Seattle. The mammoth locomotives
were built by the General Electric
company at Schenectady, n. Y, weigh
100000 pounds each, develop more
than 1000 continuous horsepower
and are capable of delivering a trac-
ton effort of $4,000 pounds. The use

to the power house two miles below,
20 feet nearer sea level, where the
great turbines change the energy into
electricity which is transmitted at
$4,000 volts to the tunnel
One of the most unique features of
this installation is the fact that on
the descending grade the motors will
become generators and return electri-
cal energy to the line to assist other
trains climbing the hill on the other
side of the tunnel. This is the first
time this feature has ever been sue
cessfully applied to railroad work in
America.

The latest report is that the Rock
Island management intends to put mo-

with st. Joseph. Topeka and Kansas
City trains at Horton and the even
ing motor will wait for the trains from
the above towns. The evening train
will bring papers from Topeka. People
along the line are anxious for the Rock

very satisfactory. Most of the COM

Winfield secured them because of a
boycott against the Santa Fe, and while
Wellington doesn't propose to boycott
the Santa Fe, a strong appeal is 60
ing to be made to have the trains re-
stored.
Until these trains are restored, the
people in the east part of the county
have practically no railroad accommo-
cations with the county seat. They can
only come here at night and return
the next morning. Train 203 would ar
rive here in the morning. and 2G4 de-
part in the evening. These trains would
be not only of great convenience
for the people of that part of the coun-
terests of wellington and every effort
should be put forth to secure them.

INSPECTION PROVED FAILURE
NJ. p. Track "Inspected'' and Two
Trains Went Into the Ditch.


Trains Went Into the Ditch.
F'alun, Kan, Nov. 26-Just a few
hours before the recent wrecks on this
line of the Missouri Pacific an 'in-
spection'' of the track was made.
The inspection car left here Satur-
day morning, and whether it was a
company inspection. or an inspection
by c. W. Colt of the state board of
railroad commissioners is not known.
At any rate, the inspection car and
locomotive had hardly gotten out of
sight before two trains were in the
ditch.
The fact of the matter is that there
is no piece of track in Kansas which
is in such wretched condition as that
on this branch of the Missouri Pa
cific. Compared with this line, the
Central Branch, about which so much
fuss is being made. is a full rock-bal-
lasted, block-signal, double tracks main
line. The ties out this way are so rot
ten that it does no good to drive spikes
into them. The rails are so poor that
they are hardly fit for a horse car line.
There is nothing to the line but the
right OF way and the roadbed, and even
the roadbed needs lot of fixing.
