more than pleased with the bonuses which
were given by the officers OF the COM
pany, some receiving as much as $50 extra
money for sticking with the company.
A petition has been sent to the state
Railway commission calling for a reduc-
ton Of capital stock of the Omaha & Coun-
Gil Bluffs Street Railway company, a re-
ductlon In fares, or Further extensions of
its lines, or all Of these things, and the
stoppage Of any more dividends until fur
ther orders.
r. b. Howell, w. @. IRE and Lysle l..
Abbott are the signers Of the petition ION
behalf OF themselves and all other citizens
and taxpayers within the city of Omaha"
They set forth the territory in which the
company operates, that it has mot to eX-
coed 100 miles of single track railway, yet
the said corporation has a total of out
standing liabilities in stock and bonds APP
proximating $23,O 900, co.," 1t is further set
out that the company paid for 1905 interest
and dividends upon $17, 25O,O 900 of stocks and
bonds, or at the rate of s160, 900 per mile of
single track railway owned. In addition,

Of these payments, out of the 1908 earnings
there was set aside 5000, 900 for depreci-
alton and $4,000 was turned into the sur
plus. Gross earnings and earnings per car

the exigencies Of the situation now require
the Improvement OF the service and the

dividends upon It's alleged gross over-capl-
talization the service cannot be improved
or the lines extended as demanded by the
growth Of the communities 1t serves.
The. concluding portion of the petition
asks IAN investigation Of the matters and
things set forth; and that an order be
issued by the State Railway commission

said corporation to a basis to be deter

Women sufferingfrom anyfomo of female weakness arein-
vited to promptly communicate with Mrs. Pinkham at Lynn,
Mass, Ali letters are received, opened, read and answered by
women. A woman can freely talk Of her private illness
to a woman; thus has been established this confidence
between Mrs. Pinkham and the women of America which
has never been broken. Never has she published a testi-
monial or used a letter without the written consent of the
writer, and never has the company allowed these conf
dental letters to get out of their possession, as the hun
dreds of thousands of them in their files will attest.
Out of the vast volume of experience which Mrs. Pink
ham has to draw from, it is more than possible that she
has gained the very knowledge needed. Il your case.
She asks nothing in return except your goodwill, and her
advice has helped thousands. Surely any woman, rich or
poor, should be glad to take advantage of this generous
offer OF assistance. Address Mrs. Pinkham, care of Lydia

This Fact - that in addressing Mrs. Pinkham you are con-
hding your private ills to a woman "a woman whose ex.
perience with women's diseases covers twenty-five years.
The present Mrs. Pinkham, daughterinlaw of Lydia E.
Pinkham, was for years under her direction, and has ever
since her decease continued to advise women.
Many women suffer in silence and drift along from bad
to worse, knowing well that they ought to have immediate
assistance, but a natural modesty causes them to shrink
from exposing themselves to the questions and probable
examinations of even their family physician. Such ques-
tioning and examination is unnecessary. Without cost
you can consult a woman whose knowledge from actual
experience is great.

 "The successful party in the last election in it's national platform de clared in favor of the admission to separate Statehood of New Mexico and Arizona and I recommend that legislation appropriate to this end be adopted. I urge. however, that care te exercised in the preparation of the legislation affecting each Territory to secure deliberation in the selection of persons as mem bers of the convention to draft 0 constitution for the incom- ing State and 1 earnestly advise that such legislation after adoption by the convention shall be submitted to the people of the Territory for their ap- proval at an election in wkIch the sole issps shall be the merits of the propos- ed constitution and if the constitution is defeated by popular vote means shall be provided in the enabling act for a new couven tion and the drafting of new constitution.
