Freed from the threat Of life inn

William Murphy, 81, started over
today by looking for job as chef.
Murphy was released from Marion
county Jail when Prosecutor Judson
L. Stark nolle pressed habitual
criminal charge which has been
hanging over Murphy's head since
last June.
Criminal Judge James A. Collins
sustained the motion; justified,
Stark said, because of insufficient
evidence to fasten auto theft COM

prisoner has already served three
times the Imprisonment he should
have had for his first offense."
Hailing from Boston, Murphy,

1915 for the theft of twenty-four
bottles of whisky and ten basket of

by the Ronjola Man, who is at
Hooks Dependable Drug Store, Hi
nois and Washington streets, this
city. where he is explaining the
merits of Konjola. At the very
peak, the apex of its powers in
those obstinate and chronic cases
that have defied and resisted all
remedies and treatments tried.
Konjola goes to the very root, the
cause of the ailments and soon re-
stored that glorious and lasting
health that is the desire Of every
suffering In the statement Of Mr.
l.. E. Smith, well-known radio
salesman, living at So North Addi-
son street, Indianapolis, there is
world of hope and cheer for all
who are i'll and who would be
we'll again. Just recently Mr..
Smith called on the Konjola Man
and made this astounding report
about the work of Konjola in his
case:
after ten years of suffering
am free once more of all stomach
trouble. / hope that others will
profit from the lesson my experience
teaches During all those years ]
don't believe I ever went day
without suffering. Every bite OF
food soured on my stomach and
caused a very uncomfortable feel
ing. My tongue was coated; ! be-
came subject to splitting headaches;
gas bloating and wild heart pal
pitation were all part Of my life
The loss of my appetite and the
fact that / failed to gain proper
nourishment, soon resulted in
weakening of my system. My

but little pep or energy and had
become physical wreck
This was my exact condition

Thus it is that Konjola works
Daily it is adding to its fame and
friends. It is only logical to be-

not an essential, can be most economically
transported. therefore, by water routes.
THE Ohio River flows through the heart of
Americas industrial and producing region
Along the upper stretches of the stream are
located extensive manufacturing plants. Think
what a nine-foot waterway to Cairo and thence
to New Orleans means to the steel industry
Of Pittsburgh and the other manufacturers of
the Smoky City! Think what it means to
manufacturers to be able to ship in their raw
materials and their coal at lowered cost!
While shipment of heavy commodities will
doubtless form large part of the Ohios in
creased traffic, it is probable that this newest
artery OF trade will also carry wheat, oats,
cotton and other farm products. It has even
been suggested that perishable products might
be transported on the Ohio by means of re-
frgerator boats.
The Ohio was not closed to traffic. of course
before the Army Engineers completed their
work. During some seasons of the year. and
along stretches. where the accommodating
.chanoine wicket" dams had already been
placed, there have been constantly increasing
water shipments. The tonnage increased from
100000 tons in 1922 to over 100000 tons
in 1928 During the first six months of 1929
the Department of Commerce states. there was
an increase of 900 900 tons over the first six
months of 1928
With the completion of the canalzation of
the Ohio, q tremendous impetus should be
given the transporting of heavy commodities
More than 1000 barges, towboats and steamers
are now operating on this historic stream.
These represent total investment of 81 000,-
900 dollars. Their number will doubtless in
crease as future traffic demands arise.
That is the industrial side of it-a picture
of increased transportation at lowered cost, of
distribution trying to catch up with production
1t Is picture Of sturdy towboatS pushing along
strings Of laden barges up and down the river
all the year round. 1t is picture of increased
transportation facilities with Europe and the
Orient, as well as with the Atlantic and Pacific
coasts, via Cairo and New Orleans. Il is q
picture Of increased prosperity for the 100000
people WHO live within 25 miles of the Ohio
River.
Also the completion Of the so dams through
out the length of the river is mighty monu-
ment to the % years unremitting toll on the

ing place for river pirates who preyed on the
fiatboat traffic from 1895 to about 1920, be-
fore the days of steamboats, Because nature
carved this cave in solid rock it looks today
about the same as it did over hundred years
ago, in the days of the infamous pirates Big
Harpe. Little Harpe, Mason and others.
Blennerhassett Island, two miles below
Petersburg, w. Va, IS of historic interest.
Here 1t was that Aaron Burr attempted his
So-called conspiracy, the real nature Of which
has puzzled historians. In 1905 he arranged
with Hartman Biennerhassett the owner of the
island, to use 1t as rendezvous for gathering
arms and supplies, and for the training Of
volunteers. The conspiracy failed but the
island itself remains a reminder of the
thwarted ambition of an cratic genius :
Marietta and Moundsville. on the shores of
the Ohio, have their relics of the mound build
erS, the prehistoric inhabitants of the MisSis-
sippi and Ohio Valleys about whom SO lit lie
Is known. Moundsville, in West Virginia, has
Grave Greek Mound, one of the largest relics
of the mound builders. 1t is 800 feet in dame
ter at the base and about 10 feet high Within
such mounds have been found skele 'ons, stone
implements and other objects left b7 a van
tShed race The mounds were there when
La Sale first sailed down the Ohio and they
are there today.
Passenger traffic, no matter how pleasant
the trip may be to the passengers themselves,
is not the reason for the canalization Of the
Ohio River however. The reason is the enor-
nous freight tonnage which that stream will
now be able to carry. The Monongahela
River, where more than 80 per cent of the
total coal tonnage originates, and the Allie
gheny River both pour freight via river barges
into Pittsburgh. Pittsburgh originates the
greatest tonnage Of any similar district in the
world The other tributaries of the Ohio also
discharge their freight cargoes into the Ohio.
On all these tributaries there are now type
OF dams known as needle DAMS" which insure
continuous moving of freight tonnage All to-
gether, the tributaries provide another thou
sand miles to the great parent river. the Ohio.
The rivers of the United States alone carry
annually about 100 million tons of freight.
This IS more than the total tonnage carried
in our ocean-borne commerce. Now that the
Army Engineers have completed the task which
insures 9-foot depth on the Ohio at all sea-
sons Of the year, the total of water-borne tom
mage will increase materially. So the residents
of the Ohio River Valley are celebrating.
The Ohio River project cost Uncle Sam about
$l25,O00 900. That the money was well spent
is a,tested by the fact that the Government is
keeping right on with inland waterway I'M

part of the Army Engineers. AS appropria-
tons were granted by Congress, year by year,
the Engineers kept at the job until today they
can say, We'll, that's finished. What's next?"
Freight has not been all that has BEEN or
will be. carried on the broad bosom of the
Ohio. 1nduStrialiSm can never destroy the
pleasures Of trip on one Of the big passenger
steamboats, that ply the waters of this famous
and beautiful stream. An ex-President's reported
resolve to See America first" before going
abroad, may serve as . reminder that it Is not
necessary to cross the Atlantic and sail down
the Rhine in order to see magnificent scenery
and visit historic spots. A trip down the
Beautiful Ohio may provide more real enjoy
ment.
IN spite of the fact that the modern steam
boat has steel hull, steam heat, electric
lights and literally all the comforts of home,
she still looks enough like the old Natchez or
the Robert E. Lee to carry ones thought bacl;
to the days "befo the wah." There is perpet-
ual contrast between modernism and the old
steamboat days. You find yourself riding on
much the same sort of side-wheeler that was
patronized by Southern gentlemen and their
ladies, not to mention the suave river gamblers,
yet you have an electric fan in your Stateroom.
The cabin is still long vista of white with
the dining tables set in rows. yet the food
you eat is probably kept fresh by mechanical
refrigeration. To one with imagination, trip
on one Of these modern river packets is sheer
delight, even If the scenery is ignored entirely
As for romance, you may remember that it
was the Ohio River which Eliza of Uncle
Toms Cabin" fame, crossed on floating cakes
of ice. In pre-war times, this river was the
only barrier that separated thousands of slaves
from freedom. Harriet Beecher Stowe, creator
of Eliza and her fictional friends. lived in
Cincinnati for several years and saw many
slaves attempt to achieve freedom by crossing
the Ohio. This undoubtedly gave her the idea
for the incident of Eliza crossing the ice with
the bloodhounds in pursuit.
Romance as well as truth encompasses the
famous cave known Cave-in- Rock, on the
northern bank of the lower Ohio, about SO
miles above Paducah. This was the hid
