PULLMAN BERTHS CHEAPER
Uppers Not Worth Charges Made for
Lowers Sleeper Company Must
Cut Rates to West

The interstate commerce commission,
in a recent descision hold it to be "un-
just and unreasonable for the Pullman
company to charge equally for upper
and lower berths.'
Differential charges are ordered in
several instances, and Pullman rates
from Chicago to the Pacific coast are
ordered reduced.
The Pullman company, it is said, will
carry the decision to the higher courts.
The commission ruled that the pres
emit Pullman rate of $12 from st. Paul
TO the Pacific coast was too high, and
ordered it reduced to SO. The present
rate of $12 for an upper berth was or
dered reduced to $3.50.

TOM F. WALSH is DEAD.
Great Colorado Mining Man Left Large
Fortune

Fortune.
Thomas f. Walsh, the multimillion-
aire mining man, died at the national
capital Friday. Death was due to
growth in the lungs as the result of an
injury received years ago when Mr..
Walsh was a miner in the west
Although the "silver mining king
as Walsh was known, had been sick tor
three months, the end came suddenly
and peacefully.
The name of Thomas f. Walsh was
household word in Colorado. Whether
in the halls of the state capitol, the
residences of Denver, financial leaders
or in the miners cabins on the lonely
mountain sides, Mr.. Walsh was equally
welcome, and his friends and admirers
were numberless.
Mr.. Walsh came to Colorado in 1871
and engaged for a time as a bridge
builder. Later he superintendent CON
struction work on several business
buildings at Central City. In 1876 he
went to the Black Hills mining district.
He returned to Colorado during the
Leadville boom and engaged in the
hotel business. He also visited Cripple
Creek during its early development In
all his travels he added to his store of
mining knowledge, and formed many
close friendships.
1t was in 1895 that Mr.. Walsh To-
Gated in the San Juan district, where
he began the upbuilding of his fortune
in mining. He built the Walsh smelter
and began to gather in properties in
the Imogene basin, near Ouray.
In Three Years $3,000,0O0.
In three years, from the Camp Bird
mine alone, he extracted $3,000,000 in
gold ore. Later the property was sold
to an English syndicate for a price in
excess of $5,000,000.
A firm believer in the west, Mr.
Walsh was one of the organizers and
first president of the Transmississippi
Commercial congress. He was promi
nently connected with the irrigation
movement in the west, and tireless
worker for good roads.
Mr.. Walsh was a generous contributor
TO the State School of Mines, at Golden
Within the year he founded Vinsor
Walsh research fund, which is being
used to advance interest in radiun
mining.
His Estate.
The state of Colorado will receiv,
from the estate of the late Thomas F
Walsh, as an inheritance tax, 100000
The estate is valued at $S,000,000.
Funeral Sunday.
The funeral of Thomas f. Walsh
with ceremonies conducted by the Ma
sonic order, took place at his home il
Washington, D. c., Sunday afternoon.
The body was inferred in the Walsl
mausoleum in Rock Creek cemetery
which contains the remains of his sol
Vinson, who died five years ago, ant
his sister in-law, Mrs. Samuel T. Lee.

Vegetable Compound has done for me
during this trying period. Complete
restoration to health means so much
to me that for the sake of other suffer-
ing women am willing to make my
trouble public so you may publish
this letter. Mrs. CHAs. BARCLAY
RID, Graniteville, Vt.
No other medicine for woman's ills
has received such widespread and uns
qualified endorsement. No other med.
Eine We know OF has such record
Of cures of female Ills as has Lydia e.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
For more than 80 years 1t has been
curing female complaints such as
inflammation, liberation, local weak
nesses, fbroid tumors, irregularities,
periodic pains, backache, Indigestion
and nervous prostration, and it is
unequalled for carrying women safely
through the period Of change of life.
It costs but little to try Lydia b.

as Mrs. Barclay ysays, it is worth noun
fains Of gold " to suffering women.
