It was stated that the opinions will be used as good law except In cases where they cmitllct with ofTUIal decision of the court heretofore rendered. Accident Reaalls Fatally. OAKLAND, Nb.. Feb. IS.

The Grand-Niece of PRESIDENT JAMES MRS. IDA ROSER, to relate Her Experience lor Benefit 'Dear Mrs. Tinkham: I have not been blessed with a child. I have, however, suffered with a complication of female troubles and painful menstruation, until very recently. The value of Lydia U. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound was called to my attention by an intimate friend, whose life had simply been a torture with inflammation and ulceration, and a few bottles of your Compound cured her; she can hardly believe it herselt to-day, sue enjoys sucn dicsscu ncaun. iww"' u""1""1 v....ru.. consider myself cured. I am once more in fine health and spirits; my domestic and offi cial duties all seem easy now, for I feel so strong I can do three times what I used to do. You have a host of friends in Denver, and among the best count, Yours gratefully, Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable seems to be the universal woman's medicine for the high and low, rich and poor; and why not? - Ihe organ ism of all women is alike, and the society woman is just as susceptible to the ills of womankind as are her less favored sisters, but owing to their inherent distaste for advertised articles will resort to all other methods for a cure first. Yet it is a fact worth recording that Mrs. Pinkham is constantly receiving letters from women of high social position, saying as a last resort and without any faith, they tried Lydia E. Pinkham S Vegeta ble Compound and were completely cured by it. She actually has thousands of such letters. Mountains of trold could.not purchase such testlmony-or take the place of Uie health and happiness which Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound brought to these women. No woman should suffer with such a remedy at hand. SPECIAL, ADVICE TO YOUNG WOMEN FREE.

Omaha business men are said to have arisen at last to the necessity of forcing certain railroads to cease discrimination against the commercial and Industrial in tcrets of this city. A plan Ih on foot among several of the leading Jnbliers and heaviest shippers of Omaha to perfect an organization for the purpose of controlling the routing of ship ments of freight In and out of Omaha. As near as can lio ascertained, when the p!ans are completed the routing of all ship ments will be placed In the hands of one man. This man, it la said, Is prominent In the Omaha Grain exchange. It is reported that John I'll, secretary of the commer cial club, will be employed to perform the active vrork of looking tfter the routing. It is said Mr. lTtt was engaged for this pur pose before he retigned from the secretary ahip of the Commercial club. Htlckney Back of It. President Rtlckney cf the Great Western Is given credit for originating the e-heme, which lie will. It is reported, support with all tho energy and tenacity which has characterised bis former fights for a grain market In this city. So far tho parties interested In the deal have been verv secretive and very little of the actual plans under consideration has leaked out. Tho association Is being formed for tho purpose of fighting those railroads which have been unfavorable to the building up of a grain market In this city. It is said the plan Is to direct the 'fight against the Northwestern and Burlington, with the ob ject in view of forcing them Into line with their grain rates. A man who Is very well posted on the situation locally said: "If twenty of the leading- shippers of this city will stand together to enforce their demands against the Northwestern wo can get what we deslro from that line Inside of thirty days. What we want is rates on grain favorable to this city. If the lines which have been fighting Omaha will grant that, of course the fight will be off and tho organization would probably be disbanded."
