The railroads have been greatly abused as soulless corporations that were grinding the life blood out of tho people. The great Galveston disaster has, however, revealed the fact that the managers of these corporations have hearts which are susceptible of being touched by the cries of distress. Their trains were placed at the dis posal of all those engaged in relief work on the coast. Provisions and supplies were carried forward free of charge, committees from every sec tion of the state were furnished trans portation, and when the refugees from Galveston began to pour Into Houston and it became a r.crious question what was to be done with them the railroads solved the problem by furnishing transportation without charge to all who wished to leave and to any point they wished to go. Grand Master An derson informs us that but for this fact Houston would have been overrun with people who had to bo cared for, and that suffering and distress would have been largely increased as well as the cost of meeting conditions which would have prevailed. Bro. Anderson desires us, through these columns, to thank the different roads for the great service rendered his committee at Houston. If it were possible we would be glad to see parallel columns, In one of which should appear the acts of these railroad corporations in a time of great calamity ami distress, and In the other the amount contributed by the little two-by-four demagogues who are always trying to array the preju dices of the masses against any and every kind of enterprise.—From the Texas Odd Fellow. APPENDICITIS that dreadful fiend that threatens the life of rich and poor, can attack and lull only those whose bowels are not kept thoroughly cleaned out, purified and disinfected the year round. One whose liver is dead, whose bowels and stomach are full of half decayed food, whose whole body is unclean inside, is a quick and ready victim of appendicitis. If you want to be safe against the scourge, keep in good health all the time, KEEP CLEAN INSIDE! Use the only tonic laxative, that will make your bowels strong and healthy, and keep them pure and clean, pro tected against appendicitis and ALL EPIDEMIC DISEASES.

"he Four-Thousntiil-MIle Road That Run* Through Siberia. The most interesting portion ol fitfsia's great 4,000-mlle railway It he steam ferry across Lake Baikal in entral Siberia. The lake, says th. .ondon Sphere, has an extent of over hirteen thousand square: miles, and s more than twice as wid? as the Eng ish channel at Dover. In places it is is deep as 4,500 feet, and parts of it lave never been plumbed. It is sur ounded by some of the hardest moun -ains which a railway engineer could Jncounter. The official plan of the Transsiberian railway includes a rail way round the southern end of the lake, to connect the two lake Hhore termini, but the enormous difficulty and expense, which is an important matter to Russia at the present time, of constructing such a line conspire to indefinitely postpone its completion. At present, therefore, the railway is broken in two by this huge Lake Bai kal, the western shore terminus be ing at Baranshiki, and the eastern at Misovaya. To link the two ends with a steam ferry which would be able to break through the ice which covers the lake from the middle of December to May was doubtless suggested by the excellent work of the Yermak ice breaker In the Baltic. Sir William Armstrong, Whitworth & Co., of New castle, were the constructors of the Yermak, and to the order of the Rus sian government, they constructed a second and larger ice-breaker, which was christened the Baikal. The parts of the vessel were put together on the shores of the lake by the firm’s en gineers. It is curious that a railway first suggested to the Russian govern ment by an Englishman should owe its most vital part to an English firm. The Baikal has three lines of rails laid upon her main deck to carry one passenger and two goods trains across the lake. The trains enter the ice breaker at the bow, which is run up against a pier. The rails are connect ed and the trains run into the vessel. With tliis load she will crush her way through three feet of ice at a speed of thirteen knots an hour. A screw at n how with a separate engine sucks away the water from underneath the ice at the bow, which tints splits from its own weight; the two stubby bladed propellers at the stern at the same time force (he vessel through the bro ken ice sheet. The actual track of the Baikal measures thirty-nine miles. There is a harbor and lighthouse at tlie southwestern end of the lake, but there is no dock where the Baikal could he repaired in case of need. At present, therefore, Russia’s 4.000-mile railway Is absolutely dependent for a through journey on the reliability of a Britiah-build railway ferry. Preferred I.usli to Prtion. Two young negroes who had stolen some clothing from a local merchant were convicted in Fulton, Mo., recent ly, and sentenced to four and six months respectively, in the county jail. Shortly the county attorney ask ed the boys in a jocular way which they preferred, their jail sentences or twenty-five lashes on the bare back. Each promptly answered that he would take the whipping. No more was thought of It by the officials, how ever, until several days later, when a note from the prisoners reached the prosecuting attorney, telling him that they were ready and anxious to take the whipping and get their release, and would promise to leave Fulton and never return. They were taken at their word. Constable Earner, who weighs 218 pounds, was hunted up, and the negroes w»re taken to the sheriff’s office, where the big constable laid the lash on their bare backs in the old fashioned way. Every blow from the rawhide made the darkies groan with pain, but they gamely took the pun ishment they had chosen and were given their release.—Kansas City Jour nal. __ ____ About the Chinese Kiuperor. Tea used by the emperor of China is prepared with the utmost care. It is grown in a walled garden, so that neither man or beast may be able to touch the plants. When the time for gathering it comes those to whom the task is intrusted have to abstain from fish, lest their breath should spoil the flavor of the tea. They must wear gloves and three times a day they are obliged to bathe. When an emperor of China reaches a suitable age to marry he has the choice of ail the high-bred young wo men of his dominion, their parents be ing commanded to prepare them for presentation at the court. This com mand is given to families of officials of the first to the third rank, none others being deemed worthy of such a distinction. In anticipation of the im perial command, the daughters of the highest officials are kept unmarried till the emper#r arrives at marriageable age. When the time comes for the emperor to Belect a bride certain days and hours are set apart for the daugh ters to enter the imperial city and to he presented to the emperor. When at last the emperor's choice has been made the other women are free to wed, but in each case they must obtain per mission from the sovereign. Man of Knvlable Versatility. Assemblyman R. W, Maintz of Washington county is a person of most enviable versatility, as will be seen by the following information printed on hi3 letter heads: “Member of Kansas Medical society, Centra’ Branch Medical society and Southern Missouri Medical society; membeT of United States pension board; president board of education, owner of Happj Home farm, owner of Admiral Dewey No. 21,809, herd hog; breeder China swine, bronze turkeys and Plymouth Rock chickens.’* THE NERVES OF WOMEN I 1“ I am so nervous and wretched.” “I feel as if I should 8 fly.” How familiar these expressions are! Little tilings annoy you and make you irritable. You can’t sleep, you are unlit for ordinary duties, and are subject to dizziness. That bearing-down sensation helps to make you feel miserable. You liavo backache and pains low down in the side, pain in top of head, later on at the base of the brain. Such a condition points unerringly to serious uterine I trouble. If you had written to Mrs. Pinkham when you first ex- fl perienced impaired vitality, you would have been spared y these hours of awful suffering. Happiness will be gone out of your life forever, my sister, I unless you act promptly. Procure Lydia K. Pinkliom’s | Vegetable Compound at once. It is absolutely sure to help you. Then write to Mrs. Pinkham, at Lynn, Mass., if there is anything about your case you do not understand. You need not be afraid to tell her the things you could not explain to the doctor—your letter is seen only by women and is absolutely confidential. Mrs. Pinkham’s vast experi ence with such troubles enables her to tell you just what is best for you, and she will charge you nothing for her advice.
