Dyspepsia Is Often Caused By Catarrh
of the Stomach Peruna Relieves Ca
tarrh of the Stomach and Is Therefore a
Remedy For Dyspepsia.
Hon. M. C. Butler, Ex-TJ. S. Sen
ator from South Carolina for two
terms, in a letter from Wushinjrton,
D. C. , writes to the Peruna Medicine
Co., as follows :
" caff recommend Peruna for
dyspepsia and stomach trouble. I
have been using your medicine for
a short period and I feel very much
relieved. It Is Indeed a wonderful
medicine, besides a good tonic. "
CATARRH of the stomach is the cor
rect name for most cases of dyspep
sia. In order to cure catarrh of the
stomach the catarrh must be eradicated.
Only an internal catarrh remedy,
such as Peruna. is available.
Peruna exactly meets the indications.
- .Hevised .formula.
- "For a number of years requests
have come to me from a multitude of
grateful friends, urging that Peruna
be given a slight laxative quality. I
have been experimenting with a laxa
tive addition for quite a length of
time, and now feel gratified to an
nounce to the friends of Peruna that
I have Incorporated such a quality in
the medicine which, in my opinion,
can only enhance its well-known bene,
flcial character.

ALASKA-SIBERIA RAILROAD.
Difficulties in the Way of a Bering
Strait Line Are Nu
merous. The scheme of a railroad from the
United States to Russia by way of Ber
ing, straits is to the fore again in
Paris, St. Petersburg and elsewhere,
and we are told that the czar, Count
Witte and others "have been enlisted
in the project," says the New York
Tribune. The present . argument is
that such a roau would greatly
strengthen the friendly relations be
tween America and Russia and make
America Russia's ally in the far east.
It may be said frankly that America
is not seeking "alliances" in that sense
In which this one appears to be meant.
So far as the increase of Intimate rela
tions with Russia as also with every
well-disposed nation is concerned,
that is commendable and desirable, so
much so, indeed, that we must hope
It depends upon something less vision
ary than this Alaskan-Siberian rail
road scheme. For as visionary and
mistaken in an extreme degree wc
must regard it.
Let us assume that the construc
tion of such a road is possible. It
must still be borne in mind that it
would not directly connect the United
States with Russia, for the reason
that Alaska is not contiguous to the
United States. Hence the American
terminus of the road would be acces
sible from the United States only by
a long voyage on the high seas or
along the waters of an alien coast, or
by land travel across more than 500
miles of British territory either of
whlck courses would be quite fatal to
Baron Loicq de Loubel's iridescent
dream of through trains from New
York to St. Petersburg over a purely
American and Russian railroad. This
break of more than 500 miles in the
continuity of the line Is . something
which neither engineering enterprise
nor diplomatic ingenuity can over
come. Moreover, the distance to be trav
ersed in Alaska from Point Tongass to
Cape Prince of Wales, is about 1,500
miles, the greater part of which is
through a country entirely unfitted for
civilized habitation; nearly every mile
Is through a country probably the
most difficult in the world to build a
railroad, and not one-fifth,, if even
one-tenth, of it is through a country
that would ever afford a profitable
local traffic. Practically, the same is
to be said of the 2,000 miles in Siberia
from East cape of Albasln, on the
Stanovol mountains. In brief, there
would be 3,500 miles of railroad
through the mesi barren and inhos
pitable regions, on the globe, compared
with which the worst country trav-
ersed by the Siberian railroad is a
Garden of Eden. And then at the end
of that there would be nearly the
whole of the Siberian railroad to be
traversed before Europe was reached,
and. In the other direction, 500 miles
of sea voyage before the United States
was reached.
Forty years ago the Western Union
Telegraph company started to build an
overland telegraph line from the
United States to Europe by this very
Alaska-Siberian route. It spent a vast
sum of money in the enterprise, and
then abandoned it in favor of a trans
atlantic cable, and the only good that
came of the ill-starred venture was
perhaps to expedite the sale of Alaska
to the United States, and certainly to
set George Kennan to investigating the
Siberian convict system. If the tele
graph company preferred a transat
lantic route of only 2,500 miles. to an
overland route of 13,000 miles, we are
inclined to think 99 travelers in 100
would prefer getting to Europe Dy a
week's trip across the ocean rather
than by a three weeks' trip by rail
chiefly through sub-arctic deserts.
Lost a Hailroad.
"A champagne dinner once cost St.
Joseph, " Mo., the Union Pacific rail
road," said W. H. Smith, of Mary
vine, while in a reminiscent mood the
other night. "The Union Pacific aid
bill was up for consideration in con
gress in the early '60's. It fixed St.
Joseph as the -eastern terminus of the
road. ' While the bill was under con
sideration a banquet was held at St.
Joseph. It was attended by many of
the leading men of the town. After
they had filled up on champagne a
question arose as to which flag should
float from the city hall. The confed
erate flag was finally decided on, and
in the morning the Stars and Stripes
were hauled down and the stars and
bars hoisted. The news reached
Washington that very day while the
Union Pacific bill was still under con
sideration. Senator Pomeroy , moved
that the name St. Joseph, Mo., be
stricken from the and Omaha,
Neb., be substituted. The amendment
carried and St. Joseph thereby lost the
Union Pacific." Kansas City Journal.

Remorse.
A 'western railway manager received
the following letter from some conscience-stricken
unknown who had ex
perienced religion: "Meestare Snut:

PASSING OF THE WOOD TIE
Immense Drain on Timber Xs Abating-
Since Steel Has Been
Introduced. "
The friends of the forest may be grati
fied by the cessation of a great drain
upon timber through the cessation of
its use as crossties for railways. With
an average of 2,800 to the mile, Amer
ican roads consume 60,000,00ft ties per
annum. - As the yield is two ties to th.3
tree, 30,000,000 trees are consumed an
nually for this purpose. The average
life of a wood tie is eight years. The
steel tie is now coming into use. They
weigh 13 to the ton and cost $2 apiece.
But their life is 25 years, so that in tho
end, they cost no more than a wood tie
that has to be relaid three times in
that period. To replace wood with steel
on American railways would require
60,000,000 tons of steel, without count
ing in the electric, cable, elevated and
horse street roads of the country.
The use of structural iron and steel
in building in place of the wooden frame
has greatly economized the timber of
the country, though this economy Is,
unfortunately, offset by the insatiate
wood pulp mill. With steel ties on our
railroads and the substitution of some
annual crop for paper pulp, our forests
would stand some chance for their lives.
It is not yet settled that steel will serve
the purpose of wood for ties for lack of
flexibility. The wood tie bends and re
covers its lines. This prevents the hard
hammering that shakes apart the joints
of cars and increases the wear of wheels.
Only use can determine whether steel
will do. The Pennsylvania road has
already put steel on important parts
of its track, and if it be approved by
that road its use will soon become gen
eral and the section gang will be re
lieved of much of the work heretofore
required of it. If it be found fit, its use
will give a great impulse to the pro
duction of steel, .the material for ties.

thing to, displease him.. All the man

Superintendent Gilmore's signature.

"Letter of dismissal!" cried the as
tonished John. 'No! I couldn't make
it out, except that it was from head
quarters and signed by you, sir. But
after some study I concluded it was a
pass. ' As none of the conductors on
the road could read It, they all ac
cepted my statement that it was a
pass from Mr. Gilmore, and I have
been riding On it ever since."
John kept his place on the section.
HIS RISE IN THE WORLD.
Ingenious Idea Which Made It an
Easy Hatter for the Orig- ,
inator.
Mike Reddy was a railroad man at
Boise, Idaho, well known and well
liked by everybody. One night Mike
fell beneath a train and had both legs
cut off, relates the Saturday Evening
Post.
He was taken to the hospital and
recovered in the course of time. His
accident cost him his savings as well
as his legs, and after he got around
again his friends subscribed several
hundred dollars and sent Mike to Chi
cago to get two cork substitutes.
He came back in a month or two,
walking spryly, but he didn't seem to
be the same old Mike. People looked
at him as he creaked down the street
and wondered. Finally, a committee
of his friends asked him about it.
"Mike," they said, "what did they
do to you up there in Chicago besides
making you a pair of legs?" -,
"Nothing that I know of," Mike re
plied. "Yes, they did. You look different
than when you went away: What
was it?" -
"Oh," said Mike, grinning, "I know
what you mean. I was allays a short
feller with me own legs, and when
the man was making the cork ones I
just told him to make ' them . four
inches longer than the old ones were,
so I could get up in the world a bit."
More Than He Bargained For.
"Madam," raid a nervous passenger
to the mother of a howling imp in the
express train, "is there anything any
of us can do to pacify your little boy?"
"O, thank you, yes," said the moth
er of the spoiled child. "You see, the
dear little pet just wants to throw his
jam tart at the passengers, and I was
afraid they wouldn't like' it. Please
to stand where you are. Now, stop
crying, darling. This kind gentleman
wants to play with you." Pittsburg

Gardening in America.
Gardening in America has reached
what one might call the "awkward
age." Neither a man nor. a country
goes a-gardening in early youth. "Men
come to build stately sooner than to
garden finely, as Bacon once said, and
as every garden-writing body has re
peated until Sir Francis in Elysium
must regret he ever made the remark;
which none the less is true. Garden
ing is essentially a middle-aged enjoy
ment, and America being, as nations
go, still young, her garden-craft has
the faults of youth. It has its incon
gruities, inharmonies, and it often mis
takes size and expenditure for excel
lence. Milan Exhibition Coins.
Milan during the next two months
will have a couple of distinctive fea

der in the exhibition grounds and no
where else. The value is two pence.
There is also a special exhibition
stamp, which, during the exhibition
period, will be used at all postoffices in
Milan. As a work of art, there is not
much to be said for the stamp, but to
all who see it,, at home or abroad, is
clearly brought the knowledge that a

THREE FACTS
For Sick Women
To Consider
FnssT. That almost every operation
in our hospitals performed upon women
becomes necessary through neglect of
such symptoms as backache, irregular
and painful periods, displacements
of the female organs, pain in the side,
burning sensation in the stomach,
bearing-down pains, nervousness, diz
ziness and sleeplessness. -
Second. The medicine that holds
the record for tho largest number of
absolute cures of female ills is Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
It regulates, ' strengthens and cures
diseases of the female organism as
nothing else cau.
For thirty years it has been helping
women to be strong, curing- backache,
nervousness, kidney troubles, inflam
mation of the female organs, weak
ness and displacements, regulating
the periods perfectly and overcoming
their pains. It has also proved itself '
invaluable in preparing women for
childbirth and the change of life.
Tkibd. The great volume of unso
licited and grateful testimonials on filo
at the Pinkhatn Laboratory at Lynn,
Mass., many of which are f rom time to
time published by permission, give ab
solute evidence of the value of Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and
Mrs. Pinkham's advice.
Mrs. Pinkham's StascUng Invitation
to Women. Women suffering from any
form of female weakness are invited to
promptly communicate with Mrs. Pink
ham, at Lynn, Mass. All letters are
received, opened, read and answered
by women only. From symptoms given,
your trouble may be located and tho
quickest and surest way of recovery
advised. Mrs. Pinkhara is daughter-in-law
