" Do you know of any woman who ever received any
benefit from taking Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound?" , If any woman who is suffering with any ailment peculiar
to her sex will ask her neighbors this question, she will be
surprised at the result. There is hardly a community in
this country where women cannot be found who have been
restored to health by this famous old remedy, made
exclusively from a simple formula of roots and herbs.
During the past 30 years we have published thousands
of letters from these grateful women who have been cured
by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and never
in all that time have we published a testimonial without
the writer's special permission. Never have we knowingly
Published a testimonial that was not truthful and genuine.
Icre is one just received a few days ago. If anyone doubts
that this is a true and honest statement of a woman's experi
ence with Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound write
and ask her.
Houston, Ta. " When I first be gran taking- Lydia E. Pink
harn'H Vegetable Compound I was a total wreck. I bad bn
sick for three years with female troubles, chronic dyspepsia,
and a liver trouble. I had tried several doctor's medicines, but
nothing did me any rood.
1 " For three years I lived on medicines and thought I would
never tret well, when I read an advertlsment of Lydia E. Pink
ham's Vegetable Compound, and was advised to try it.
44 My husband got me one bottle of the Compound, and it did
me so much food I continued it use. I am now a well woman
and enjoy the best of health.
"I advise all women suffering from such troubles to give
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound a trial. They won't
regret it, for it will surely cure you." Mrs. Bessie L. nicks,
819 Cleveland St., Houston. x
Any. woman who is sick and suffering is foolish surely
not to give such a medicine as this a trial. Why should it
not do ner as much good as it did Mrs. Hicks.

MNOOL.N, Jan. .-rgpclal Telegram. )-
One mors the railroads failed to clip a
few miles off tha switching district of
Omaha and put full tariff rates into effect
to replace switching schedules wtilch en
abled Industries to locate on the Omaha
Belt Tana railway.
Tha question Involved before the commis
sion today was whether tha Burlington and
Missouri Pacific railway companies should
tie permitted to put Into effect full tsrlff
sthedules for hauling cars to and from
Ralston, the new Industrial sumirti went of
South Omaha, or whether the switching
schedules shoukt remain. The full tariff
rate meant from 113 to $39 per carload; the
switching schedule means not more than
IS per car on any class of carload business.
Omaha was not only represented by a
number of attorneys and Commissioner 3.
M. Guild of the Commercial club, but by
C. A. Ralston, head of the Ralston car
shop being erected at the station, and I
Howard, president of the Howard Stove
Manufacturing company, with their attorneys.
Peeallar Facts la Case.
But the case took a peculiar turn. The
Railway commission fisd once consented to
tha railways putting the tariff rate into
effect, being led to believe by the railway
laat year that such rates would be regular
and just. But upon protest the commission
decided that the railway attorney had done
a smooth piece of work and they reopened
the case. The Omahans then put the bur
den of proof on the railway and they had
little or no showing to make when the case
was closely considered. A year ago the
commission had refused to allow the rail
way to canoel a switching schedule to
Portal, four mile beyond Ralston. They
were then reminded that the switching rate
to Seymour Park, now Ralston, on the Mis.
sourl Pacific railway waa 6 per car, while
the Burlington now made a switching rate
of 13 per car on ice to tha house at Sey
mour Park or Deerfield, as the station on
the Burlington is known. With these fact
before them the commissioner found but
Utile trouble in deciding that the full tariff
rate should not be put into effect and the
switching charge will have to stand.
Both the Ralston Stove Manufacturing
company and the Ralston car shop were
located in Ralston by Shimer tt Ch
townsite agent, because of the awltchlng
charges, and Omaha business men con
tended It would be an Injustice to put tariff
rates Into effect at this time.
Legislator Haa Close Call.
Representative Boells of Merrick county
came near answering his laat roll call lat
night by the gas route. Boett boards and
room at the West hotel. About midnight
the clerk smelled gas, and upon Invest!

He waa awakened and instructed how to

On Monday next, a committee appointed
at the state convention of the Odd Fellows
will arrive in Lincoln for the purpose of

been received from Omaha, Fremont
Grand Island, Central City and Lincoln

Should the committee decide to locate here,
the local lodges must raise the sum of
110.000.
President Selleck of the Commercial club
will appoint a committee from tho club to
co-operate with tha committee appointed
from the local lodge, to raise the amount
needed, by private subscription. Already
several membera of the club have signified
their willingness to make liberal donation
to tha fund.
