I had btea troubled five months
with Dysjx'psia. The doctors told
ine it was chronic. I had a fullness
after eating and a heavy load in the
pit of my stomach. I suffered fre
quently from a Water Brash of clear
matter. Sometimes a deathly Sick
cess at the Stomach would overtake
me. Then again I would have the
terrible pains of Wind Colic. At
such times I would try to belch and
could not. I was working then for
Thomas Mellenry, Druggist, Cor.
Irwin and Western Ave., Allegheny
City, Pa., in whose employ I had
been for seven years. Finally I used
August Flower, and after using just
one bottle for two weeks, was en
tirely relieved of all the trouble. I
can now eat things I dared not touch
before. I would like to refer you to
Mr. McHenry, for whom I worked,
who knows all about my condition,
and from whom I bought the medi
cine. I live with my wife and family
at 39 James St., Allegheny City, Pa.

BOYS WILL BZ BOYS.
Fond Mother IVho Muli Hoi-HPtl
Wrelclied All fur Ji'othlrf.
Ah me! boys will be boys. and youth,
lookinjr ott uimn a glorious world
witli clear, bright eyes, can see even
through tears the brightness of life,
says the San Francisco Girvuicie.
Tears seem to thicken an. I trio
opuque with the years that p.isi over
us.
Sho had taken h';r boy to a school in
Europo to one of those schools by s
Swis lake, margined uilli fruits ot
gold aud wiiisperiu myrtles, and all
that suit of thing. It v;is the first
time they had really been i;ind. and
she had to eonie back to far-off Cali
fornia and leave him to the tender
mercies of strange teachers and bicr
boys. .She saw the school gate close
upon hiiu. and he had a tear in his eye
as he kissed her good-by. There wcr
several other boys in that school, and
on the lake rode at anchor a whole lot
of boats. One young aristocrat owned
a yacht that basked in the S.vis sun
light and rodo over the shadows of
Swi.ss mountains mirrored in tho
waters just rippled by a breeze. She
wended her sad way to the iiut.4. She
bad chosen a room from which she
could sec into tho il.iy ground of the
school and get, if possible, a fast
glimpse of her boy before she wended
her weary way to the. far west. Siio
sat at her window, her eyes filled with
tears, and thought of "him in there
among strange boys, and. wretched
and miserable, crying over their part
ing. She felt as if she nint go there
aud take him back; that it was inhu
man to leave hiin. And so the cried
all to herself and fe.lt as if her heart
would break, when she saw a lot ot
boys making for tho Jake. She saw
some of them get on board tho yacht
and weigh the anchor and hoist tho
sails. She cried all tho harder because
she knew her hoy had no yacht, and it
seemed so hard "on liim. Tim yacht's
canvas filled, and as it sailed past the
wiudow through her tears she saw a
boy alternately hauling on a rope and
waving hij handkerchief. It was her
beloved son. lie had found out in tea
minutes who owDcd tho yacht, cot
toned to him, aud there they were
sailing gayly over the lake. She dried
her tears and felt that somehow she
had mistaken her boy if she thought
he didn't know how to get his share of
all the fun that was going.

"Did you ever know," said a well
known specialist, that the throat has a
brain of its own? No? I suppose few
of the laity do know it. but it's a fact.
There is a small ganglia which exer
cises direct control over the muscles of
the throat and acts as its brain. Of
course, it is subservient to the genuine
brain, but at the same time does a
good deal of independent thinking for
itself. It is very timid and suspicious
of any strange objects that come near
the throat. For this reason it is very
difficult for a physician to operate on.
the throat. IMore anything can be
done in this direction it is uecessary
for the oporator to gaiu the confidence
of the little braiu that dominates it.
It frequently take's week before this
confidence can be secured, and until it
is secured it is impossible to operate.
When tho little brain is finally made to
understand that no harm is intended
it but that tho physician is actuated
by friendly motive," it will submit to
almost any treatment, however painful.
"But woe be to the man who at
tempts rough treatment to tjie throat
before gaining the little brain's con
fidence, and in spite of its protests. His
operations will be resented with vio
lent paroxysms, first (if the throat then
of the diaphragm, and if the operator
still persists, the patient will be thrown
into convulsions. Still more curious U
the fact that this little brain has a
memory, and if once frightened in this
way it is almost impossible to ever
gain its confidence, no matter how gen
tle the operator may be.l'liUadelphia

. A tabulated statement was also liled
by Mr. l.urt of the Klkhoni road, show
ing that in the last ten yrars ratc-3 from
Chicago to Nebraska points had been
reduced as follows: On merchandise in
less than car load lots from Cnicago to
Lincoln, Jleatrice. York, Hastings -and
Kearney from 35 to 40 per cent. On
merchandise in car lots from Chicago
to these same points, 30 to 35 per cent.
On commodities from Nebraska to
Chicago the reduction has been prac
tically the same. The statement also
shows that for the same time the re-'
Juctiou on grain from Lincoln, Beat
rice, York, Kearney, and Hastings has
beta 33 per cent.
The figures on live ttock from Ne
braska points to Chicajo shows even a
greater reduction.
In his argument before the board M.
Hurt of the Kikhoru road was very
earnest and practical. lie said in sub
stances as follows:
"This state has reached a point where
there must Le a better understanding
between the railroads and the people.
Whoever aids in bringing about this
better understanding renders a great
service to this btate. There are plenty
.if those whose sole objeut is to keep
die people and the railroads as far
apart as possible. Such men ouijlit not
,o be tolerated in an enlightened com
munity. It is a serious matter that railroads
have been the subject f mors misun
derstanding, more misrepresentation
and more unfriendly legislation than
idl other material interna of the state,
.'onibined.
This probably comes from the fact
that the people here are not directly in
terested in aud do not participate in
(he profits of railroad business. In
New England where the pesple them
selves arc investors in railroad stock
there is no such feeling of hostlity
towards railroads as is manifested in
Nebraska. This state has been devel
oped largely with foreign capital. How
strange it is that public sentiment
should be so hostile toward this foreign
capital when it has done so much to
develop and make the eountry what it
is.
Fasiern capital, when it conies west
for investment in railroads can never
return. It must remain. His always
a permanent investment. The farmer,
the merchant, tho banker, and the la
borer may come aud go as he sees it, but
the railroad must remain.
Eailroad energy Is al ways dedicated to
the development or the county. It is a
great developing force.
I have now pointed out two facts that
ought to be remembered by every citiz
en, viz: liailroads are built by foreign
capital and they are always a perman
ent investment Can they then in the
very nature of their existence be an
enemy to the prosperity of the country.
If the country prospers they prosper. If
the country stands still their invest
ment must rust Out and depreciate in
value. They understand this. They
must in the very nature of their exist
ence work for the mutual good of all or

sibie to .imagine JUr. Oxnard accept
ing Kticii a proposition and yet the
railrutd of tins state are in this, situa
tion to.iay in Nebraska. If those who I
invested in the railroads could have
ton-seen the present condition of their
property and the present spirit of the
people luwaid theui, would they have
ever invested one dollar in Nebraska
roadi 'i
I take it the man who puts money in
to a Nebraska railroad is entitlid lo
realize as much on his investment as
he who invests in a farmer store or
other uroperty. Now as to rates.
Mr. Dawes told us at Lincoln that he
was not especially demanding reduc
tion on farm pioduct rates east uounu'
but upon a local distributing rate that
a oiilii develop the slate. We are told
ti.day Ibioiigli tiie leading paper of the
slate that the people are chielly in
teiested m '.he rales upon coal, lumbe
and building material west bound ana
of coal from Wyoming and Colorado,
and the rates upon stuck and grain east,
bound.
Now who are we to believe and who
are we lo satisfy ii: tiiis matter':" Can't
there rate agitates get together and
adjust their diH'e:ciices of opinion '.
.As rates like all values are relative,
what may l;e reasonable today may be
an unreasonable rate tomorrow. JlaU-s
are adjusted on the basis of what is re
ceived aud wiiat it costs to move a ton
of freight per mile. When the rate re
ceived aud the cost expended approach
too near each other the rate is too low.
When these iire too far apart the rate is
unreasonably too high. Who is most
qualified to speak on these points if
not those w ho have been in the business
for years in a practical way? All to
gether the inciting here brought out
more lads iroin the defense than were
brought out at any other of the series
meetings.
