Special to the Post-Dispatch. JEFFERSON CITY, Mo., Dec. 6.— Charles Jinks, 99-year convict in th Penitentiary, must spend the rest of his life in solitary confinement in a dark cell in the “Old Hall,”’ one of the mos. forbididng of the Penitentiary cell build- ings. According to an order issued today by Warden Hall, Jinks is never to be taker from the cell, except twice each week for a few minutes exercise, until he ies. The decision as ‘to perpetual solitary confinement for Jinks, the first of its kind in many years in Missouri, wa: reached by the Warden after a month's th .ught. Jinks is a negro, and is known as th: “meanest prisoner.’’ He has been.there since 1908, when he was given a life sen- tence for murder in 8t. Louis. In th four years of his convict life, Jinks has badly injured five other convicts. Nov. 6 he obtained possession of a knife and slashed two convicts. For weeks it was thought one would die, but Prison Phy- sician Chastain says both will recover. Every punishment inflicted in the prison has been used on Jinks, but none has broken his fighting- spirit. He has been flogged several times in the four years, and sent back to work. When flogging fails to correct a man, the prison officers have left only one pun- ishment. That is solitary confinement. “*Yes,’’ said Warden Hall today, “‘it is cruel to place a man in a narrow cell for his entire life, but there is nothing else to do with this convict. If I per- mit him to go back to work and mingle with the other convicts, it will be only a question of time until he will make an attack on someone. I have conclud- ed it is better to place him in solitary confinement, notwithstanding its hor- rors, than to permit such a convict to be among the others, as he is a constant danger to every man with whom he comes in contact.”’

Its resources and liabilities each to- taled $5,522,142. The bank was estab- lished in 1859. President Makes Statement. Andrew W. Herron, _prealdent of the bank, said: , “The directors of the Fort Pitt Bank, the bank examiner and myself are con- vinced that the depositors will be paid in full. ‘:ois action was precipitated by certain occurrences of yesterday that I will go into later and was taken for the protection of the stockholders. The di- rectors will meet later, when a state- ment will be issued.”’ Confidence Is Felt. No fear is felt in financial circles that the closing of the Fort Pitt Bank will precipitate any trouble among the other banking houses. There was no indica- tion of any runs on any other bank following the closing of the Fort Pitt. The call of Comptroller Ridgely for statements showed that national banks of Pittsburg have 22 per cent reserve fund, which is not considered a bad showing. About a score of persons loitered about the door of the Fort Pitt Bank this morning. There is no indication of runs on any other Sank in the city.

NEW YORK, Dec. 6.—Twe theories are suggested as the cause for the sui- cide of Clara Bleodgood, the actress, last night at Baltimore. One is that she was worried by the fact that her personal fortune, estimated at $250,000, was tied up in the failure of the Knick- erbocker Trust Co. The other ir that she was temporarily affected *, an overdose of headache powders .0 which she’ had frequent resort. Miss Elizabeth Marbury, the play broker, told a Post-Dispatch reporter tnat the fact that the actress’ fortune was impaired by the failure of the trust company was the enly reason she could assign for the suicide, unless Miss Lloodgoed shot herself while under the influence of headache powders she some- times took for neuralgia. “Miss Bloodgeod was net addicted to drugs,” said Miss Marbury, “but at times when she suffered severely from neuralgia and was ferced to act, she took a headache pewder.

He is a member of many clubs and part ewner with Andrew Miller and Frederick Bishop, of: the New Castle Stable, whose horses have achieved many victories on the metropolitan race- tracks. Popular With St. Louis People. Clara Bloodgood’s last St. Leuis en- gagement was played at the Olympic the week of Nov. ll, 1906, in Clyde Fitch’s society drama, “The Truth.’’ Brilliant society audiences were the or- der of the week. Miss Bloodgood was supported by J. E. Dodson, the English character actor, -who made his first American hit as a 'member of Mr. and Mrs. Kendal's com- pany. “The Truth’’ was one of Clyde Fitch's Most superficially “smart” plays and its central character of Mrs. Becky Warder fitted Miss Bloodgood almost as well as the title role in “‘The Girl With the Green Eyes,” in which she had been seen here the preceding season. The story of the play concerned certain folk in New York society. It teld of the raarital unhappiness of Mr. and Mrs. Tem Warder, based upon the weakness ef the wife, Becky, for telling little fios to extricate herself from embarrass- ing situations. The plot was founded upon complica- tigns developed by her imnocent and well-meaning efforts to straighten out the marital troubles of her dear friends, Mr. and Mrs. Fred Lindon, which led to her husband suspecting her ef be- ing in love with Lindon. Her prevari- cations when he tried to get at the truth increased his suspicions, and the two separated. but were finally recon- ciied, the truth was made clear, and the play had a happy ending. Mr. Dod- son played the roie of Mrs. Becky Warder’s father. Miss Bloodgood was excellent in ‘‘so- cicty” parts, but never gave evidence of a wider range of talent. She was “boomed” ‘mainly as being a brilliant society woman who had seen fit to go on the stage to gratify her iove of play- ing, and was not considered as a serious competitor for higher henors than those attached to the roles indicated as be- ing within her limitations.

The expense of paving the streets that have been torn up by the alter- ation incident to abolition of the trossings, except at the point where the railway grade makes its crossing, must be borne by the city, as well as all damages to private property af- fected by the changes. This is the first time that any city counselor has written an opinion on the subject. It Was made at the re- quest of Mayor Wells, for the inform- ation of the Municipal Bridge and Terminals Commission, now engaged on this problem.

Fowler Defies Cannon by Re- fusing to Place Ohioan on Sub-Committee.

Special to the Post-Dispatch. WASHINGTON, Dec. 6.—Speaker Cannon gnd Chairman Fowler of the House committee on Banking and Cur- rency have locked horns &nu all of- ficial Washington is speculating as to the outcome. “This sub-committee,”’ said a mem- ber of the Banking and Currency Com- mittee, “‘will unuoubtedly draw up a bill and hold many hearings, but they will amount to nothing. The majority of the Banking and Currency Commit- tee are for Cannon and against Fow- ler, so any bill that they may present will be turned down unless explicit in- structions from the Speaker are _ re- ceived to the contrary. The sub-committee is as follows: Fow- ler of New Jersey, chairman; Prince of Illinois, Calderhead of Kansas, Lewis of Georgia and Gillespie of Texas. Conference Is Fruitless, No financial legislation by Congress 1s in sight. The prolonged conference be- tween Senator Aldrich, Senator Allison and Senator Hale, the three men who will frame whatever bill is enacted into law, has not advanced or in any way expedited action.

THREE ARE HELD, WOMAN FREED, IN TRIPLE MURDER Suspects Accused of Plot to Kill Await Jury’s Action.

(By Long-Distance Telephone to the Post-Dispatch.) PINE BLUFF, Ark., Dec. 6.—Mrs. Sue McCartney, Ed Richards and Jesse Strahan were released without bond to- day by Judge England, who has been hearing at Rison, near here, the habeas corpus proceedings of the six persons arrested after the recent triple assas- sination at Clio. They will remain free Cleveland County Grand Jury, which meets at Rison Monday, finds evidence against them. Judge England held S. B. McCartney, husband of the woman released, and J. J. Prince, both under $3000 bond, and W. C. Cotton under $5000 bond for the grand jury. Attorney Davis Nixon, for the prose- cution, protested against making any of the bonds lower than $5000, and urged that all be made $10,000. Nixon said the men might as well be freed out- right as to be held under less than a $5000 bond. Court Takes Initiative. Strahan’s release was asked by the prosecution, who said the State had not sufficient evidence to warrant holding him. The other two releases were made on the Court’s initiative. An order of Judge John M. Elliott of the Court of Chancery in Little Rock received today at the office of the Bluff City Lumber Co. in Pine Bluff declares that arms and amunition were imported by wholesale into the Clio camp in the week before the triple murder, and that 130 or more men were called in from the weods in the expectation of a bat- tle. unless the fusal to order the reopening of the Rluff City Lumber ©o.’s plant at Clio, which he closed immediately after the tregedy of Nov. 2. It is addressed to the receivers of the plant—John F. Rutherford, chairman of the Democrat- ic State Committee, and J. B. York. They had petitioned to be allowed to re- open the plant, stating that the com- rany was losing money and its em- picyes were suffering hardships. In his reply, Judge Biliott not only refuses to allow the reopening of the plant, which has 500 employes, but further orders that all the company’s forty or more cottages at Clio, occu- pled by officers and employes of the company, be at once vacated. Among those who must thus be made to move he specifies S. B. McCartney and J. J. Prince, now accused of participation in re triple murder; F. H. Brown, E. C. Jolmes, J. N. McFadden, Dr. Thorne, Ed Rieharde, 5S. 8S. Love and their families, Judge Visited CHo Camp, The Judge states that his decision is ihe result of a personal visit to the Clio camp, made since the tragedy. He speaks of C. L. Bush, whose body is supposed to have been burned in a fur- nace, as “‘now deceased,’’ indicating that he does not accept the suggestion, made In the defense of .the. alleged slayers, that Bush was not killed. “It appears,” Judge Elliott writes, “that Nov. 20 8. B. McCartney, super- intendent of the mill at Clio, had a per- fonal difference with Tom Godfrey and C. L. Bush, now deceased, as a result otf which he caused them to be arrested and placed under bond en a charge of assault with intent to kill. “Nov. 22, 1500 shells, loaded with shot, packed in three boxes of 500 shells each, were ordered from the J. F. Lloyd Co. of Little. Rock, to. be shipped to the commissary of the Bluff City Lumber Co. at Clio, the order being given by C, L. Browning, one of your employes, on a requisition from J. N. McFadden, ‘who was in charge of the commissary, and also in your employ. “Certainly Not Lawful Purpose.’ “On the same day said shells were shipped, a crowd of your employes, and of the employes of the Grant Lumber Co,, numbering between 130 and 180 men, came from the woods in Cleveland and Grant counties to Clio on the train of the Bluff City Lumber Co., their coming being caused’ by an order sent to them on the previous night by the said 8. B. McCartney. The presence of these men in Clio at that time certainly was not for a lawful purpose. “They remained there all day Friday ond most of them through Saturday, but how many men remained until Monday, Nov. 25, the day of the killing, I am not advised. Saturday, Nor. 28, a quantity wt firearms was ordered from the Voss- Nichol Co. of Pine Bluff and sent: by messengers to Clio.”’ Judge Eliiott then relates the circum- stances of the shooting of Godfrey, Bush and their chance companion, the singing teacher, McEwen, as they stepped from a train at Clio the afternoon of Nov. £5. Shots Came From Office. “Most, if not all, the shots,” says Judge Elliott, “came from the office of the Grant Lumber Co., which adjoins the building of the Bluff City Lumber Co. “This conduct on the part of those in charge of your business at Clio cannot be tolerated by the Court. I therefore reaffirm my order of several days ago, shutting down the mill at Clio and dis- charging from your service every em- ploye, both at the plant and in the woods.” The Judge then directs that employes who left the woods and went to Clio to engage in disorder shall receive no pay for the days they were at Clio. Be- sides ordering the company’s cottages vacated, he directs that the Grant Lum- that all its officers and employes keep -off the property of the biuff City com- pany in Grant and Cleveland counties.

SUPREME COURT. REOPENS SUIT AGAINST MRS, CRANE Judge Sale Ordered to Show Cause Why He Should Not Allow Judgment to McLean. ' Judge Gantt of the Supreme Court in Jefferson City Friday granted an order requiring Judge Sale of the St. Louis Circuit Court to show cause Dee. 10 why he should not be compelled to enter final judgment in favor of the plaintiff in a suit brought by James H. McLean against Arch Bonham and Mrs. Ellen S. Crane. The suit is the outgrowth of the sale of stock in the J. H. Crane Furniture Co. by the defendants to McLean. The company later failed and McLean charges the defendants knew it to be inscivent when they sold him the stock. He asked that the stock sale be set aside and that the defendants be re- quired to return the money paid by him. The writ of mandemus was asked against Judge Sale because of the al- leged failure of the defendants to file an answer to McLean's petition within the prescribed time.

DEEP WATERWAY INDORSED BY GANNON AND FAIRBANKS Speaker Tells St. Louisans He Toesn’t Favor Bonds When There Is Surplus. WASHINGTON, Dec. 6.—Both Speak- er Cannon and Vice-President Fair- bahks expressed their approval of the lakes-to-the-gulf deep waterway when addressed by the delegation from 5Bt. Louis vesterday and the members of the delegation feel much encouraged. Speaker Cannon said that he would not approve a bond issue when there is a surplus of $24,000,000 in the Treasury. The resolutions which it is sought to have adopted in Congress were laid before the Vice-President by President Kavanaugh of the Lakes-to-the-Guif Deep Waterway Association and were laid before Speaker Cannon by Mayor Malone of Memphis. The resojutions were those recently adopted at the Mem- phis waterways conference. The visitors also attended the ses- sions of the Rivers and Harbors Con- vention. Congressman Rartholdt of St. louis and Serator Warner of Missouri were with the delegation when the reso- lutions were presented to the presiding officers of the two houses of Congress.

SECOND SYMPHONY Orchestra and Soloists Alike Score Hits at the Odeon. The second subscription concert of the Symphony Society at the Odeon last night was even more successful than t.e first and proved that Con- ductor Max Zach has. established a control of his players that promises the highest artistic achievement. This truth was especially indicated in the orchestra’s masterly interpretation of Beethoven’s great Symphony in C Minor, which was the memorable offer- ing of the evening. The Mendelssohn overture, ‘“Fingal’s Cave,” was also finely presented, and the‘remaining or- chestral numbers, a Bach composition, adagio and gavotte, heard for the first time as a Symphony offering, and the Hector Berlioz ‘‘Roman Carnival” over- ture, maintained the high standard set in the two nimbers already mentioned.

ALAS, FOR THE ROUGH RIDER! Next week our Mr. Rodgers will con- tribute the second chapter. The interest will be admirably sustained, as Mr. Rodgers’ memory is much better than Mr. Archbold’s.

The excitement will not flag, for our Mr. William Rockefeller’s memory is even better than that of our Mr. Ragers. On January ist our Mr. John D. Rockefeller will bring the serial te a resentatives on the spot, armed with fig- ures to prove their pump the best, and all others inefficient, expensive and dan- serous to life, limb amd public morals. It seemed that Atlanta was doomed to enter pumpless into a. year of drouth. But on Monday the committee met again, and the problem was settled.

The war news from Goldfield recalls an experience I hac there last Septem- ber. I was in a chair buying one of those 2-cent shaves. Next door was a saloon. The barber was just round- ing the point of my chin when someone started something next door. The barbers piled out front, razors in hand. Following with our vision somewhat obscured by lather, we saw two men emerge from the saloon in a good old-fashioned mi!]l. One of the combatants wore no coat. The other fought as if he expected to be killed the next minute if he let the coatless man live that leng. The crewd fell back to make room, and nobody made him- self ridiculous by crying for the police. (There are ne police in Goldfield.) The fighters worked out to the edge of the walk, where the coatless man hit the coated man between the eyes and dropped him where the gutter would be if Goldfield had any gutters. The victor went back into the saloon, the vanquished arose and departed down the street, and we went back to our ehairs. “That's ten for Charlie in two weeks,” said my barber. four large lotteries which have| “He certainiy has been knockin’ ‘em out lately,” another fellew’s barber an- or : cd sete without police molestation for the - two years will at least temporarily swe pod ‘from “But this fellow or the next one will idea in vigor.

i A SIGNIFICANT BREAKFAST. Not long ago we heard with impressive detail of a conference between William J. Bryan and Gov. Joseph W. Folk of this State in which Mr. Bryan was said to have repudiated his former alliance with Senator William J. Stone and formed an alliance, offensive and defensive, with Gov. Folk. We learned with amazement that Gov. Folk had been selected by Mr. Bryan as the right man to represent Missouri in the United States Senate. Now we are told with more im- pressive details of a breakfast in Washington shared by Senator Stone and William J, Bryan} at which Mr. Bryan repudiated his reported al- liance with Gov. Folk and renewed his ancient bond of friendship and mutual aid with eeanee: Stone. According to a news dispatch, evidently in- spired, the simple morning meal of these states- men rose to the dignity of a political event of WHEN BRYAN SENT FOR FOLK. When Bryan sent for Mr. Folk, He made a pretty mess of it, And it is not a haif-bad joke To see him reap distress of it— For Mr. Bryan should have known That he would hear from Mr. Stone. He should have known that Mr. Folk Woukid seem to have tie inside path On Mr. Stone, which would . provoke This latter gentleman to ‘Wrath, And cuss the perfidy of friends When treachery conserves their cnds. He should have guessed that Mr. Stone Would face him with a stern, white face, And calmly ask that he bse shown Just where, in this our year of grace, Great Bryan stands, and what foul hunch Inspired his asking Folk to lunch. A pretty mess he made of it, And one that has nonptussed him— For now, despite his utmost wit, He finds they both discrust him.

to Trade Ca Promising Piteher for McGinni} y and Bowerman of New York Nati nals. ; '

“SRRATUSIPTE A BY JAMES CRUSINBERRY., POSSIBLE trade of ball players that may be made in New York next week at the National League meeting, is stirring up the St. Louis fans. It has been announced in Gotham that McGraw is hot on the trail of Pitcher Eddie Karger of the Cardinal team and is likely to land him in a trade for Frank Bowerman. the yeteran catcher, and Joe McGirmmity, the ‘‘Iron Man’’ of the slab. . St. Louis fans cannot smile on the proposition of giving up a live young pitcher with exceptionally bright prospects, for a couple of totering veterans who are about to hit the toboggan, if the re- port be true. A cash bonus, it is said, will induce resident Robison to let Karger go, while at the same time it Is known tha @ohn T. Brush is loath to let go of arly Zash in a deal. This may prevent the ade. *» Bowerman and McGinnity are un- Youbtedly great ball players and their es are far above that of Karger in e hal] ef baseball fame. But the wise fin is not looking at the past, but in the ear future, ana it grieves him to see a ve one get away just when he is about > shine. & ~~ eee * Karger is the fivest piece of baseball siachinery that has graced the Cardinal Ene-up in several seasons, and that statement fs backed up by the opinion @f none ether than Henry O’Day, the grand old umpire who has stood behind fhe young St. Louis star and watched him perferm in his easy but marvelous faanner for the past season er more. , it may be true that Karger’s record is nothing to boast of. A pitcher that fould make a record with a tail ond ¢iub back of him. would have to be more than human. But the ease and grace with which Karger faced the heavy bats- men of the National League has mad: © . deci impression on the baseball men of country who watch the de- ialls of the game. Frank eee the raanager of the World’s Champion Cubs, was another to speak highly of the \vork ef Karger on the slab. Robison or McCloskey have not been leard on.the- matter, Dut their views will probably be made public next week. it is hardly believed by those close to the National League management of this ‘ity that McCloskey will sanction or ltobison execute such a trade that seems to tear down the prospects for a good icam in St. Louis. * It is possible that such a trade would benefit the Cardinal Club next season. ssowerman, in spite of his gray hair, fnd pment ag ote, in spite of his age, are till great ballplayers and might jump nto the harness with the Cardinals and work wonders for a time. But neither has many days left in the National League, and their time will have been served when Karger bas only reached the height of fame. The official averages in fielding of the National League show that Bower- man was at the very top among the catchers. Even the wonderful Johnny Kling of the champions was a few points behind Frank in fielding and the latter took part in 62 games. His field- ing wags .990, an excellent mark for an old man, that McGinnity won 17 games, lost 16 and tied 1 as a record for the year 1907 on the slab. Karger won 12 games and lost 14 during the season, with 2: games tied, but fans will generally realize that his mark shows greater skill than McGin- nity’s by a wide margin, for Karger had the weakest club in the league be- hind him. In considering pitchers’ rec- ords, one must also consider the club on which they played. When Karger was first secured by the Cardinals in the middle of the 1906 sea- son, he was not specially well thought of by the local management as wel! as other critics of the game. But while the team was down South last spring preparing tor the opening of the sea- son, Karger set to work on an entirely new delivery. No one teok notice of his work during the entire time the team was in the South, but he had con- fidence in the scheme and plugged away day by day and finally sprung it on the public after the season had opened. The characteristic feature of the deliv- ery was the siow ball. From April to August it had the heavy sluggers of the National League baffled and was the wonder of all. It ts a delivery that a pitcher may use every other day and continue for years and years and not wear himself out by over-exertion. At the same time it was even more effect- ive than the terrific speed of any of the great pitchers of the day. McGraw was one of the wise ones of the game attracted by the antics of the St. Louis player, and he fas had {: in mind ever since the first impressio: Was made to grab him off for the Ney York Giants. Just at the present time the Brush-McGraw clique is desperat: in its attempts to strengthen th Giants, not only to beat the Chicag Cubs for the Nationa] League cham pionship, but to keep pace with Clay Griffith's New York Highlanders, wh are making rapid advances on the pub lic of the metropolis and who will tak the Polo Grounds patrons unless M Graw turns out a truly great teva. For that reasen McGraw is aheddin; his dead stuff and getting new an: live matefial to entertain the Gothan fans. And for that reason he is afte: Seager to add to the New York pitching

PLAYERS POUND THE BALL Séries of Indoor Games With Chi- cago Fellows Is Now Tied, With Four Left.

The series of indoor ball games be- tween Chicago and St. Louis big ‘@aguers is now even up, as the local nine fairly flew at the Windy ‘ity bunch in the second game and hrashed it by a score of 24ito L. It vas a game of terrific batting on both ides, but the St. Louis olayers pound. 1 much the harder and with doubles n@ triples being banged out time after me, they easily put the Chicago pitch- Ts on the run. Searles, who pitched the first game ry Chicago, was allowed to rest, and rallagher was put in, but the latter was anged out of the box in quick order ad Hoffnan substituted The latter ‘as only a trifle better, so the victory ‘as @asy for the-local slugyers. Artie tiofman secured Peck to pitch ir the local team and, while he wag ell pounded, he never had to extend umself to be sure of the vitcory. Four games remain in the series und it is expected that both teams will tighten up in the playing from uow on. Chicago will undoubtedly send the crack twirler Searles back in the box for the third, game, and Artie Hofman has an expert on hand, sv the gume promises to be of high class, now tbat the big leaguers have become’ more familiar with the bail.

Mrs. Fitzgerald was alone at about ©-20 Thursday evening, when she heard someone moving in the front room. As she entered the room she saw the man bending over a dresser. Mrs. Fitzgerald cemanded his business there. As she spoke the thief sprang for the door. In attempting to block his way Mrs. Fitz- g-rald was knocked down and received severe bruises from falling against a chair, Intrude: ‘Whose Say-s Se EE ee nN tee Best ? a o Is With nearly all medicines put up for sale through druggists, one has to take the maker’s say-so alone and exclusively as to their curative value. Of course, such testimony is not that of a disinterested party and ac- cordingly is not to be given the same credit as if written ‘from disinterested motives. Dr. Pierce’s medicines, however, form a single and therefore striking excep- tion to the above rule. Their claim to the confidence of invalids does not rest solely upon their owners’ and makers’ say-so or praise. Their ingredients are matters of public knowledge, being printed on each separate bottle-wrap- per. Thus invalid sufferers are taken into Dr. Pierce’s full confidence. Scores of leading medical men have written enough to fill volumes in praise of the curative value of the several ingredi- ents entering into these well-known medicines. -In favor of Dr. Pieree’s medicines is the frank, confiding, open, honest state- ment of their full composition, giving every ingredient in plain English, with- out fear of successful criticism and with confidence that the good sense of the afflicted will lead them to appre- ciate this honorable manner of con- fiding to them what they are taking {nto their stomachs when making use of these medicines, WHAT «THEY CURE. People often ask “What do Dr. Pierce’sa two leading medicines—Golden Medical Discovery and ‘Favorite Prescription’ cure?” Briefly, the answer is that “Golden Medical Discovery” is a most potent al- ters!’ e. or blood-purifier, and tonic, or invigorator. ard acts especially favor- ably in a curative way upon the lining surfaces, as of the nasal passages, throat, bronchial tubes, stomach, bow- els and bladder, curing a ps! a aeaped age of catarrhal, cases, ether the disease affects the nasal passages, the throat, larynx, bronchie, stomach (as eatarrhal dyspepsia), bowels’ {as mu‘ cous diarrhea). Even in the chronic or ulcerative stages of these affections, it is generally successful in effecti eures, In fact, the “Golden Medica Discovery” is without doubt the most suecessful constitutional remedy for all formns of catarrhal diseases known to modern medical science. In Chronic Nasal Catarrh Dr. Sage’s Catarrh Rem- edy fluid should ‘be used for washing and cleansing out the nasal passages while taking the “Discovery” for its blood cleansing’ and ‘specific,” healing effects upon the mucous lining mem- branes. This combined local and gen- eral treatment will cure a very large percentage of the worst eases of chronic nasal catarrh, no matter of how many years’ standing they may be. As to the “Favorite Prescription,” it is advised for the cure of one class of aa diseases only—those ailments peculiar to women. It is a powerful, yet gently acting, invigorating tonic and nervine. For sick, worn-out, over-worked wom- en—no matter what has ‘caused the break-down, “Favorite Prescription” will be found most effective in buildin up the strength, subduing pain an bringing about a healthy, strong, vig- orous condition of the whole system. Dr. Pierce believes that our American forests abound in most valuable medic- inal roots for the cure of most of our obstinate and most fatal diseases, if we would properly investigate them; and, in confirmation of this firm conviction, he points with pride to the almost mar- velous cures eifected by his “Golden Medical Discovery,” which has proven itself to be the most efficient stomach tonic, liver invigorator, heart tonic and regulator and blood cleanser known to medical science. Not less marvelous, in the unparalleled cures it is constant- ly making of woman’s many peculiar affections, is Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription, as is amply attested by thousands of unsolicited testimonials contributed -by. grateful patients who have been cured by it of back ache, headache, hot flashes and kindred af- fections, often after many other ad- vertised medicines had failed. Both these world-famed medicines are wholly made up from the glyceric extracts, of native medicinal roots, found in our American forests. The processes employed in their manu- tacture were original with Dr. Pierce, and they are cagried on by skilled chemists and pharmacists with the aid of apparatus and appliances specially designed and built for this purpose. Both medicines are entirely free from aleohol and all other harmful, habit- forming drugs, What is said of their power to cure the several diseases for which they are advised may be easily ‘léarned by sendihg your name and address to Dr. R.

Agitation for a free bri.ge has been helpful to the Municipal Terminals Commission in its efforts to have the railroads reduce or remove excessive charges on traffic between St. . Louis and East St. Louis, according to Al- bert T. Perkins, expert adviser to the commission. The popular demand for a reform in rates was one of the prods, Mr. Perkins said, which the commis- sion hau used in urging the Terminal Railroad Association to abolish the ar- bitraries. Mr. Perkins made fanswer to a question put to him by Councilman Crunden during the hear- ing before a special Council commit- tee which is reviewing the work of the Terminal Commission.

Mr. Perkins denied that there was any understanding that the Terminal Association or the roads in it were to get any favors. ° The expenses of the commission and the salary of Mr. Perkins were made the subject of inquiries by Councilmen Lesser and Crunden, Mr. Perkins said he considered his salary of $10,000 a year a just and reasonable compensa- tion. Councilman Lesser asked Mr. Per- kins whether he had not advocated a railroad bridge at Poplar street. He said he had, but had not drawn the plans. Robert Moore was their author, he said, and had received $9000 for them and some drafting on which he had been engaged. Company Loses Nothing. It transpired at the hearing that the Terminal Association is losing noth- ing as a consequence of the reduction or abolition of charges on traffic .cross- ing Eads wridge or the Merchants’ Bridge. The association still gathers its regular tolls, but makes the railroads pay them insteau of assessing them against the shipper or \ receiver ‘of freight. The railroads absorb the ar- bitraries and stand the loss. The reduction of charges on coal be- tween Wast St. Louis and St. Louis were the only exceptions, it appeared. This decrease of 10 ‘cents a -ton was made and borne by the Terminal Asso- ciation. COLLEGE PRESIDENT BOOMS the statement in Dr. C. C.

WHAT THEY CURE. People often ask “What do Dr. Pierce’s two leading medicines—‘Golden Medical Discovery and ‘Favorite Prescription’ cure?” Briefly, the answer is that “Golden Medical Discovery” is a most potent al- tern!: e. or floo.!-purifier, and tonic, or invigorator. and acts especially favor- ably in a curative way upon the lining surfaces, as of the nasal passages, throat, bronchial tubes, stomach, bow- els and bladder, curing a larg eign age of catarrhal, cases, whet er the disease affects the nasal passages, the throat, larynx, bronchia, stomach (as eatarrhal dyspepsia), bowels* {as mu: cous diarrhea). Even in the chronic or ulcerative stages of these affections, it is generally successful in effecti cures, In fact, the “Golden Medica Discovery” is without doubt the most successful constitutional remedy for all forms of catarrhal diseases known to modern medical science. [In Chronic Nasal Catarrh Dr. Sage’s Catarrh Rem- edy fluid should be used for washing and cleansing out the nasal passages while taking the “Discovery” for its blood cleansing’ and ‘specific, healing effects upon the mucous lining mem- branes. This combined local and gen- eral treatment will cure a very large percentage of*the worst cases of chronic nasal catarrh, no matter of how many years’ standing they may be. As to the “Favorite Prescription,” it

For sick, worn-out, over-worked wom- en—no matter what has ‘caused the break-down, “Favorite Prescription” will be found most effective in buildin up the strength, subduing pain an bringing about a healthy, strong, vig- orous condition of the whole system. Dr. Pierce believes that our American forests abound in most valuable medic- inal roots for the cure of most of our obstinate and most fatal diseases, if we would properly investigate them; and, in confirmation of this firm conviction, he points with pride to the almost mar- velous cures effected by his “Golden Medical Discovery,” which has proven itself to be the most efficient stomach tonic, liver invigorator, heart tonic and regulator and blood cleanser known to medical science. Not less marvelous, in the unparalleled cures it is constant- ly making of woman’s many peculiar affections, is Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription, as is amply attested by thousands of unsolicited testimonials contributed -by. grateful patients who have been cured by it of back ache, headache, hot flashes and kindred af- fections, often after many other ad- vertised medicines had failed.

I took his advice and have been greatly benefited by it, and can conscientiously recommend all those passing into the ‘sere and yellow leaf’ of life to take Duffy’s Pure Malt .Whiskey.’’— GEORGE FOSTER COLLINS, 2509 P Street, Lincoln, Neb., May 15th, 1907. Duffy’s Pure Malt Whiskey being used to have every kernel thoroughly malted,

MR, GEORGE FOSTER COLLINS. ’ is an absolutely pure distillation of malted grain; great care zu thus destroying the germ of the seed and producing a predigested liquid food in the form of a malt essence, which is the most effective tonic stimulant and invigorator known to science; softened by warmth and moisture its pal- atability and freedom from injurious substances renders it so that it can be retained by the most sensitive stomach. It is an absolutely pure, gentle and invigorating stimulant and tonic, builds up the nerve ren ee up ae neart, gives power to the brain, strength and elasticity to the muscles and. richness to the blood. It brings into action all the vital forces; it makes digestion perfect, and enables you to get from the food you eat all the nourish- ment it contains. It is invaluable for overworked men, delicate women and sickly children. It strengthens and sus- tains the system; is a promoter of health and longevity; makes the old young and keeps the young strong. h | sl one grocer or denler for Duffy’s Pure Malt Whiskey be sure you get nuine. It is the only absolutely pure, medicinal malt whiskey, and is sold in sealed bottles oniy—never in walk Price $1.00. Look for the trade-mattc, the “Old Chemist,” on the label, and make sure the seal over the Illustrated medical booklet and doctor’s advice free.

Something so different! Something sweet and little; something that every family has use for, and when you’ve tried them, you'll just say to yourself, ‘‘why how de- lightful I feels’’ calmed, rested, happy, 2nd. a ‘‘Glad I Took One’’ feeling creeps all over you, and you just feel that you never knew what a joyous privilege it is to have a sweet little pill to exercise the bowls, without purging, griping*and strain- ing them. The reason they are ‘‘so different’’ is: ‘‘They nourish the bowel-nerves and the bowel-nerves do the rest.’’ And, besides, they are a civilized physic. tonic and blood purifier combined, all in a sweet little pill, called ‘‘Blackburn’s Sweet Little Castor-Oil Pills.”’ Now just think of that! Castor Oil, combined with Sulphur in concentrated form, together with such well-known and harmless medicines as Black Cherry Root, Wild Lemon, Cascarin, Ginger, ete. Everybody knows the excellence of Castor Oil. But Ugh! the taste! In Sweet Little Castor-Oil Pills, there’s no taste; but the way they move the bowels is—is—well, it’s very, very satisfying, and the very richest and most aristocratic families of the East now use them as a family remedy of unsurpassed merit. They are not regarded as Patent Medicine, because everybody is made familiar with the names of the ingre- dients, and so they have quickly supplanted all medicines designed to ‘‘physie’”’ man- kind. It is said that they are so pleasantly effective that even the most obstinate con- stipation yields readily and without the least suffering or pain. Thousands and thousands of dollars’ worth have been sold in the East, and local druggists, anxious to serve the public best, have purchased a large stock, and their friends predict an immediate and increased demand, as the pills retail at popu- la prices of 10 cents and 25 cents, there being 15 doses in the former and 45 doses in the latter. Ask about Blackburn’s Castor-Oil Pills when you eall at your druggist. Don’t forget—‘‘So Different,’’ and oblige.
