This Medicine Recommended by a Doctor

When q doctor uses a medicine A6ra-
self besides prescribing It to his paziensx
he must know that It has merit.
This is what DR.. J. H. Wagner, o praaz-
inent physician Of Skate, Kentucky. has
to say about DR.. Hartman's well-knuwuL
remedy, PE-RU-NA: II have used Pc
RU-NA myself for catarrh and have
given II 10 others for catarrh, bloating
after eating and other ailments. It has
proved q success in all cases with ola
and young men and All speak
well Of PE-RU-NA. 1t Is the best Of aa
tonics."
DR.. Wagner, out of the fullness of his
own personal experience, for the good or
all sick and suffering, recommends a.
medicine which he knows to be good
You may be sure a, doctor would not en-
danger his professional reputation by
endorsing PE-RU-NA unless satisfied be-

c. A. TINE CARD -.
TO Be CHANGED SUN.
]. f. Fl h Announces That Railroad
Has Attempted to Accommodate
Most People
LIKELY TO BE PERMANENT
May Stop Making Semi-Annual
Changes in Schedulcs-0ne Good
For all Times Desired.

AS a result Of a meeting of tho
passenger and operating departments
Of the Chicago and Alton Railroad
held in Chicago and other Illinois
points for four days last week, some
radical changes were made in the
Mexico time card which will become
effective Sunday, January rs, at
1901 a. m.
The East Bound Hummer which
leaves Kansas City at 6 p. M, and ar
rives in Chicago at $50 a. M, will
pass through Mexico at lilo p. m.,
about the same time which it arrives
here now. The West Bound Hummer
will leave Chicago at 6 p. M, and ar
rive in Kansas City at $50 a. m,
getting in Mexico at PAP a. M, 25
minutes earlier than the present
schedule.
The East Bound Mail, made up at
Slater, which now passes Mexico at
1920, noon, will, when the change
is made, arrive here at $40 a. M, and
will get to Chicago at 10 p. m. The
West Bound Mail will leave Chicago
at l a. M, arrive in Mexico at 2:40 p.
M, and in Kansas City at $40 p. m.
The plug train from here to Rood
house, H.. which now makes the trip
between 1850 a m and 7:45 p. m,
will be changed to leave Mexico at
3:45 p. M, and will arrive back at
1870 p. m. A fast train from Chi
cago will later take the place of this
train from Roodhouse, according to
]. f. Fish, general passenger agent,
who attended the meeting last weel,
and who made the announcement
here.
The South Branch trains VIII leave
here at S:45 a. M, and 4:45 =. M, and
will arrive here at 1850 a. m., and
$50 p, m.
The Alton-Burlington trains will
YIN or the same schedule in fleet now
with the exception Of the east bound
passenger train which now arrives
here at $50. Its time will be chango'
to 3:20 p. m.
Mr.. Fish stated that the Railroad
had in mind the general good of the
largest number of people in maxine
these changes. For a long time. he
said it has been the custom to make
changes in the railroad schedules ir
the fall and in the spring to suit the
different weather and climate con.
ditions; but now it is the aim to get
the most suitable schedule for all
times and leave it.
The schedule which goes into cf-
feet Sunday will offer some advan-
taces to people in the east and west
ends Of the county which they have
never before had, and will also give
Mexico the opportunity to serve more
people as a shopping and trading cen.
ter. Persons from the east end of the
county can row come to Mexico and
get hack to their home in one after.
noon, and have an hours time herr
for t~ransacting business.
Persons coming from the west car
get here at s o'clock in the morning
and leave in 5 minutes for Jefferson
City or Fulton. Or they can transact
business here and leave for their
homes at 2:40 p. m.
1t is thought by the Railroad thai
these changes will afford the people
of the county nor conveniences thar
they have ever before had, and further
details in the schedule which will ado
to its efficiency will be arranged later

MAKING GOOD USE
OF NEW CITY WHARF
Much Produce is Being Landed
There From Delaware and Jer-
sey; An Oyster Mart.

Since the opening of tho oyster season
IN this city it Is estimated that oysters
valued at S75, ZOO have been disposed Of
by oystermen and in every instance the
greater of the shipments have been made
at the new municipal wharf at the foot
OF Front street. The yield frcm the Maurice
River cove district this year has been
greater than ever before and the capt ain
OF the one OF the large schooners this
morning stated that his bed had resulted
in yield valued at 81 900
But one trip n week is made 70 this
city. However, each trip brings from six
TO ten schooners and on several occasions
this season the new wharf has been n
scene Of double line Of oyster craft.
Produce boats also lay anchor there,
and Wilmingtonians have already started
to take advantage Of the wholesale prices
offered by the boat merchants. The two
new steel warehouses at the wharf are
rapidly nearing completion and IL is ex-
pected 10 have these buildings in readi~
ness in time TO store 400 bushels of pota-
toes, which will be shipped 20 this city
direct from lower Delaware farms.
Potatoes at present are SO plentiful
that farmers have great fear of their dis
posal prior to the severe cold weather
This, II is understood viii be the cause for
an even creator drop in prices, not only
IN potatoes, but IN every line Of pr oduce.
