RESULTS THAT REMAIN.
Are Appreciated By O’Neill People.
Thousands who suffer from backache
and kidney complaint have tried one
remedy after another, finding only
temporary benefit. This is discour
aging, but there is one kidney medi
cine that has earned a reputation for
lasting Results and there is plenty of
proof of its merit right here in
O’Neill.
Here is the testimony of one who
used Doan’s Kidney Pills years ago,
and now makes his testimony even
stronger.
H. J. Zimmerman, prop., Cream
Station, Main St., says: “My back
ached continually day and night. My
kidneys acted frequently and my head
ached. I had to get up many times
during the night to pass the kidney
secretions which were highly colored
and burned dn passage. I was also
dizzy and there were severe pains in
the back of my head. Doan’s Kidney
Pills completely relieved me of the
trouble.”
After several years, Mr. Zimmer
man said: “It has been several years
since I have had kidney trouble. My
case was a bad one but Doan’s com
pletely cured me.”

REBECCA SLAYMAKER.
, (Atkinson Graphic)
Rebecca Slaymaker was born in
Senecca County, Ohio, May 12, 1837,
and died at her home near Atkinson,
Nebraska, October 7, 1923, .age 86
years, 4 months and 25 days.
While a child her family moved
from Ohio to Beauceau County, Illi
nois, where they lived until she grew
to womanhood. In 1865 they moved
to Wabaska County, Wisconsin.
In 1879 she came with her brother
and a tester to Atkinson and settled
on the land which has been her home;
for more than forty-four years, ex
.. ... mil n iirnrnm^Sm^
periencing the hardships of pioneering.
Her life was one of sacifice and
unselfish devotion to those about her,
performing each service willingly un
til enfeebled by age, she was no long
er able to do for others the kindness
which had been her habit through life.
She tvas the last of her family, and
in her last days was tenderly cared for
by children of a brother to whom she
had taken the place of the mother they
had lost in early childhood, and by
whom she will be greatly missed and
sincerely mourned. She leases many
relatives and a host of friends who
have known her for the sterling
qualities she possessed.
Funeral services were held at the
home at 2 o’clock October 9th, and she
was laid to rest beside her sister and
brother in Woodlawn cemetery.

lard and Mrs. Polk served the lunch.

nated to the Orphanage Home of

day school class, the “Blue Birds,’’ to

Revival meetings will begin Sunday
morning, November 4th. Evangelist
O. O. Wood, of Haigler, Nebraka, will
have charge of the meetings. He
comes to us highly recommended as a
safe, sane and splendid evangelist
worker. You will want to see and
hear him. Remember the date, No
vember 4th. We believe that good
religious work needs to be done.
-I nese are words of truth and sober
ness. They are in line with the state
ment of Roger Babson, the economic
expert, given out not many months
ago: “We stand at the cross roads.
We must choose between God and
Mammon. Materialism is undermin
ing our civilization as it has under
mined other civilizations. Unless we
heed the warning in time and get back
to the real fundamentals, we must fall
even as the civilizations of Egypt,
Greece and Rome fell—and for the
same reason.”
Only a few months before his death
The Literary Digest quoted President
Harding as follows: “The human race,
or certainly great and patential sec
tions of it, has been getting away from
its religious moorings. It needs a
revival of the sincere conception of
the personal relationship of God to
•man and of man to God; a restoration
of faith in the fundamentals that are
eternal. The world needs the as
surance of faith in the Almighty, and
the tranquility which comes-of that
faith.”

Railway Terms Defined
STATEMENTS OF RAILWAY OPERATIONS are often misunder
stood and frequently misquoted on the public platform and in pub
lished articles. The following information is given to assist in secur
ing a clearer understanding of the terms employed in stating the re
sults of railway operations: ,
RAILWAY OPERATING REVENUE: This consists of all revenue re
ceived by the railway for transportation services, including freight,
pasenger, mail, express and other allied services. This also includes
revenue arising from storage, demurrage and other activities incident
to the performance of transportation, in fact, all re^nue growing out
of the transportation activities of a railway.
RAILWAY OPERATING EXPENSES are those expenses incurred in
connection with the performance of transportation services, including
maintenance of fixed property, locomotives and cars, together with the
expenses of wages, fuel,, material and supplies necessary for the move
ment of traffic, but not including taxes or payments for the use of other
companies’ equipment and ^property used jointly.
NET REVENUE FROM RAILWAY OPERATION is the railway oper
ating revenue, defined above, less the' railway operating expenses.
NET RAILWAY OPERATING INCOME is the net revenue from rail
way operation less taxes, uncollectible revenue, payments for use of
other companies’ equipment and facilities used jointly. This is the
amount which the railway company realizes from its transportation
activities, and is available for the payment of rentals of leased lines
and interest on indebtedness; the remainder, if any, may be carried to
surplus or applied to dividends.
REASONABLE RETURNS: The Transportation Act requires the
Interstate Commerce Commission to ascertain the value of railway
property and name a reasonable rate of return upon the same. This
rate they have fixed at 5% per cent. A railroad, whose value has been
ascertained by the Commission to be 100 million dollars, and whose
“net railway operating income” is 5% million dollars annually, is re
ceiving the reasonable return of 5% per cent upon its property, as fixed
by the Commission.
The net revenue from railway operation should not be confused with
net railway operating income. The necessity of this is apparent
when it is realized that the net revenue from the railway operation if
all Class 1 railways in the United States in the year 1922 was $1,144,
051,185, while the net railway operating income was! but $759,945,517,
a difference of $385,105,668.
All the railroads in the United States are required by law to make re
ports under oath of their activities to the Interstate Commerce Com
mission, using the terms above which are prescribed by that Com
mission. These reports are on file in the Commission s office at
Washington, and are available to the public.
