J. O. I'hilllppl , assistant general freight
and passenger agent of the Missouri Pacific ,
spent a few hours at his cilice yesterday
morning after an extended trip over the line
between this city and Atchlson , Kan , Ho
was accompanied by Superintendent C M
H.ithburn and together they visited every
station on the Hue. They left Wednesday
afternoon to complete their tour of Inspec
tion between Omaha nnd Auburn. Mr. Phll-
llppl reported the business of the road to
bo in shipshape condition and at every sta
tion there were- unmistakable evidences of
prosperity. Like all the other western roac !
the Missouri Pacific is troubled with a shortage -
ago of cars to handle the movement of
grain and freight. Tuesday that portion ot
the system over which Mr. Phllllppi ha %
supervision was short Just 432 cars of being
able to supply the demand of the grain
shippers. This vvlll be remedied as rapidly
an possible , and It Is expected that the grain
will gradually work Itself off without tans-
Ing the shippers any great Inconvenience. In
Kansas the corn crop came up to the ex
pectations of the Missouri Pacific and other
railroads and Is one of the beet in the
history of that state. Kor this reason thi >
demand for freight caia Is largely in excesn
of what it has been before In many years.

The Time
To every elderly woman when an important functional change takes place. This is called
"The Change of Life. " The entire system undergoes a change. Dreadful diseases , such as
cancer and consumption , are often contracted at this time. McElree's Wine of Cardui strenghthens
and purifies the entire system and brings the sufferer safely over these pitfalls. Its effects when used
by elderly women have been wonderful. It is good for all menstrual troubles , but is especially recom
mended at this time. Ask your druggist for the famous Wine of Cardui. $ , l , 00 a bottle. For ad
vice in cases requiring special directions , address the "Ladies' Advisory Department , " The Chattanooga Medicine Co. ,
Chattanooga , Tcnn.
Concordia , Kansas , Feb. 28 , 1899.
I think it my duty to write you about myself. I am 44 years old , and I wai very sick last summer from the Change of Life. Two of the best
doctors in Grand hland , Neb. , after treating me , .gave me up to die. As a lait resort I finslly tried Wine of Cardui I am happy to say it helped me
from the Tint dose. After using K awhile I was in better health than for many years. Another spell has lately come on me and I sent down town
last night for a bottit of Wine of Cardui again. After taking It a few hours I am very much better to-day. It b n pleasure ' to tell olheri
about this wonderful medicine. ft , , , W < RANDOLPH.
