QUEEN VICTORIA.
How the (.rcHii-st Qncrn on Kurtli ;
Prewrven Her Health.
The Queen of all England, who is
also tlve Empress of India, has already !
attained to a healthy old age. The sub
ject of her longevity is of, the greatest
anxiety and consequence to her sub- ;
joc-ts. The utmost care is being taken '
to prolong her life for many years yet. ;
though she is already much in excess ;
>>f seventy. The greatest danger that
threatens persons of her age are ail- I
meats brought about by exposure to i
cold and changeable temperature, ail
ments that affect the mucous mem
branes in various parts of the body,
especially the throat and lungs. To
avoid changeable temperature the
mighty queen, governed by the advice
of her physicians, spends several
months of every winter away from
England, and seeks the mild climate ol
Italy. This precaution, no doubt, is
very wise, for the queen continues in
splendid health.
But people who are not so fortunately
situated as the great Victoria cannot
hunt milder climes in the winter and
changeable spring, must face weather
as it comes. T-he consequence is that
many thousands of them contract colds
during such period of exposure. Colds
are inflammation of the mucous mem
branes, and may occur in different
parts of the body. When colds become
chronic they are termed catarrh — a
much dreaded ailment.
Pe-ru-na is the only internal remedial
agent that is a reliable cure for ca
tarrh. It is of great importance that
every sufferer from catarrh should duly
take note of this fact. This knowledge
is most valuable. Pe-ru-na has cured
thousands and will continue to cure
thousands until some better iemedy can
be devised.
One of Dr. Hartman's latest books,
treating on catarrhal diseases peculiar
to spring, will be sent free to any ad
dress by The Pe-ru-na Drug Manufac
turing Company. Columbus, Ohio.

house at Germantown, Pa., and is a
purely American, patriotic institution,
which now numbers 200,000 members in
forty-three states of the Union. The
term mechanics is speculative, as men
prominent In all trades and profes
sions are proud to be known as mem
bers of this patriotic and fraternal
order of native Americans. The orig
inal members of the order were me
chanics in fact as well as name, they
deeming it necessary even at that early
day to unite themselves against foreign
encroachment in every form. Coun
cils of the Junior Order United Amer
ican Mechanics are now established in
every town of any size in Minnesota.
A national orphans' home has been es
tablished by the order at Tiffin, 0.,
which, in point of excellency, is second
to no institution of the kind anywhere,
and it is needless to state that children
educated in this home will become the
best of American citizens.

DETERMINED TO DIE.
Sensational Attempt at Suicide by a
Chicago Doctor.
CHICAGO, April 17.— Dr. Elmer E.
Prescott, son of the physician of the
same name who was the victim of a
murder that developed one of the most
famous mysteries in the police history
of the city, made a determined attempt
to kill himself at his home last night.
His condition is such that the attending
physician, Dr. Brackett, said recovery
was impossible. The details of the
young physician's attempt to take his
own life are sensational. It seems the
physician swallowed ten grains of mor
phine and lay down upon a couch.
Fifteen minutes later he rushed into
the kitchen where a domestic was at
work and snatched a table knife from
her hand. The blade was broken Jn
half in the struggle, but the man com
menced hacking at his threat with that
portion yet attached to the handle.
The woman attempted to disarm him,
but he evaded her and rushed through
the house, blood spurting from hi.s
wounds and dyeing the carpets and
walls as he passed through. Throwing
open the front door the doctor ran out
upon the sidewalk and there com
menced slashing at his left forearm,
seeking to sever an artery. He suc
ceeded in making thirty distinct
wounds in his arm before the men who
had been watching him summoned suf
ficient courage to interfere. A police
man had been called, and it required
the combined efforts of four men to
control him.
When Dr. Brackett. who was sum
moned, arrived, an attempt was matte
to quiet Prescott in order to care for
his wounds. The victim grew more
violent, and the attendants were
obliged to strap him to his bed. X.
-declared he wanted to die, and tried
to prevent Dr. Brackett from tying the
ends of the several blood vessels in
his wrist. Mr. Prescott has been und'T
the care of a specialist of late for
treatment.
The crime known as the "bath house"
murder, the killing of the elder
Prescott, is remembered by many. The
crime was committed in the autumn
of 1882 in the bath rooms in the bast
ment of the Prescott tenement. Tho
son. who las^t night attempted to take
his life, went to the theater, and upon
returning at midnight discovered ms
father dead upon the floor of the base
ment near the bath rooms. The body
had been frightfully mutilated, the
head being pounded ahn«st to a pulp,
a heavy iron bar. in all probability, be
ing the weapon used by the murderer.
The motive for the crime was as remote
from solution as the identity of tne
guilty ones. No evidence was found to
implicate any one at the time, and the
crime remains a mystery.
STAKED HIS LIFE.
Den|iernte Wager >lnde 1»> v Cali
fornia Turfman.
SAN FRANCISCO, April 17.— James
Hunter, who has followed the turf for
many years, is supposed to have staked
his life on Goldbug, his favorite racer.
Goldbug. who started in a race at the
Oakland track on Thursday, made a
gallant struggle, but there were faster
horses in the field. The defeat meant
much to Hunter, who is now missing.
His friends are firmly convinced that
he has forfeited his life because his
horse lost the race.
Hunter began his turf career at the
Kehoe stock farm, in Idaho, where he.
bough* the colt Goldbug, and trained
him for a racer. Hunter made the cir
cuit in Idaho and Montana and went
as far East as Chicago. Two years
ago he came to the coast with Jacob
Krause, and started Goldbug on this
circuit. For nearly eight years Gold
bug made a handsome living for these
two men. Of late, however, the horse
has been stale from overwork, and
purses have been few and far between.
Hunter became a heavy drinker, and,
owing to lack of money, has been com
pelled to seek shelter in the stable of
his pet.
On Thursday last Henry Shields got
the mount on Goldbug. who was third
at the start, second at the quarter,
seventh at the half, sixth in th©
stretch and fifth at the finish. James
Hunter anxiously watched the race, nu
which he staked everything. When tht
race was over he pulled, his hat over
his eyes and remarked to his friend,
Philip Slebenthaler;. "j staked my
life on that race, and losj. A few drops
will soon put an en<i -to the whole
business."
Taking a last look at Goldbug aa
the animal was being led to the sta
ble. Hunter turned, away from the
race course and haa not been seen
since. .

CUTS ARE LIKELY TO BE MADE

ROADS,
WEAK ROADS DISSATISFIED.
STRONG COMPANIES ARE G«TTING
AU THE TRAFFIC THAT 19
MOVING.
RESTRAINING FORCE REMOVED.
The Joint Traffic Association No
Longer Has the Power Which
It Once Posttessed.
CHICAGO, April 17.—Notwithstand
ing the completion of new agreements
of the Western Passenger association
and the Westen Freight association,
and the determination of the strong 1
reads that rates shall not be reduced,
it is a fact that both freight and pas
senger rates are in a decidedly shaky
condition. There are many traffic of
ficials who are of the opinion that a
reduction of rates will act as a gal
vanic battery in quickening business,
and they are disposed to try the reme
dy. Repeated warnings have been
made by the board of managers of the
Joint Traffic asociation aginst cutting
rates, but this body is no longer held
in awe, since the decision of the su
preme court made its legal existence
a matter of doubt. There are traffic
officials, on the roads running east
from Chicago, who do not believe "that
the Joint Traffic association has the
power to get them discharged if they
do cut rates, and, in the present status
of the association before the law, they
believe that they will be able to cut
their tariffs in such maner that it can
be kept from the board of managers
of the freight associations, and from
the interstae commerce commission as
well. They want more business, and
think that lower rates are the only
means of obtaining it.
The strong lines, naturally getting
; the heavy portion of whatever is mov
ing, are strongly against any deduc
tion in rates, and will make it very
warm for any road that attempts to
cut the rates. The thing is rapidly
approaching the point where the only
Question before the advocates of lower
rates is, whether they can cut the rate.s
without being found out. If they think
they can work this they will not have
the slightest hesitation in cutting both
freight and passenger rates.
The Western lines will, very soon
after their new agreement is disposed
of, at the meeting to be held next
week, take up the question of emigrant
traffic. They have come to the conclu
sion that they must have an equivalent
(or their clearing house in some way,
and a meeting will be held to determine
the best method of arranging mat
ters so that the decision of the su
preme court will not be violated. The
working of the clearing house was
satisfactory in the most eminent de
gree to all of the lines interested, and
it removed from among the "Western
roads a prolific source of demoraliza
tion. They are firmly of the opinion
that they must supply the piace of
the elf string house in some manner,
but at present they are all at sea as
to how the thing can be arranged. If
it is not found possible to reach an
agreement on the question, it is likely
that some reductions will be made in
the emigrant rates or that the rate
of commission will be advanced.
PACIFIC ROAM \Vl\\
No Violation of Short ilunl t'lunse
in Spokane Rates.
SPOKANE, Wash.. April 17.— For five
years the merchants of Spokane have
contended that an unjust discrimina
tion in the matter of freight rates has
operated against th^m. This conten
tion has in turn been taken belore the
interstate commerce commission, and
from the decisions of that body to the
fe deral courts. Testimony that would
fill volumes has been taken in Spokane,
Seattle, Taeoma, Portland and San
Franciscr, and the ablest attorneys pro
curable have fought the questions in
volved inch by inch.
Nov. 30, 1894, Judge Hanford appoint
ed Lorenzo S. B. Sawyer, of San Fran
cisco, special master in chancery to
take testimony and submit findings in
the case. This work was completed
April 6. and yesterday the bulky find
ings of Judge Sawyer were filed in the
ftderal court, the findings being in
favor of the railroads.
Spokane merchants asked for a rate
from St. Paul to Spokane of practically
82. per cent of the Pacific coast rate on
the assumption that the shorter haul
entitled them to a proportionately lower
rate. This claim is controverted in the
findings by the statement that the re
maining portions of the roads west of
Spokane were built at greater expense
and are operated at greater expense
than the rest of the lines, and yet in
the long haul to Pacific coast termi
nals the roads were obliged to meet
water competition.
In the manner of transcontinental
business. Judge Sawyer takes op tin'
competition from Atlantic coast ports
to Pacific coast ports by clipper ships.
All if this water route competition it
is necessary for the railroads to meet,
and what appears as discrimination
against Spokane. Helena, Salt Lake
City and other interior towns is sim
ply what the railroads are compelled to
do in self-defense.
No violation of the laws of the inter
state commerce commission is discov
erable in a careful review of the testi
mony, and Judge Sawyer finds for the
railroads.
LOCOMOTIVES MAROOXED.
High Water I'aunen a Complete Tie
l T p on tke Montana Road.
BOZEMAN. Mont., April 17.— There
was never before a more thorough tie
up than that of the Montana road,
which is a short line running from the
Northern Pacific at Castle junction to
Castle, a distance of seventy-five miles.
This road as a new line did very well
the past winter towards keeping its
track open for the first fifty miles of
its length, but the cuts on the prairte
over which runs the last few miles of
the road were hardly well opened all
winter after snow came. There is not
a station anywhere in this twenty-five
miles, and yesterday, while the two
engines, all the road has. and its entire
working force, were at work upon the
snow there. In an attempt to open ih«
line, the high water washed out three
miles of truck in a canyon below there.
This left the rolling stock and working
force of the road cut off completely
from the world except by such com
munication as could be had by tele
phone, while thetr supplies are all at
this end of the line, and obtainable
only by freight teams.
The line, since the first train started
I about a year ago has been badly off for
funds; it owes nearly all the ranch
men along the line besides contrac
tors and others* and now comes this
latest and most serious predicament.
! The line was given &0.009 tons of ore
when it opened, by a big mining cor-
I poration at Castle, with which to clear
itself, but they have been unable all
winter to get the ore out of the smelt
ers at East Helena, 100 miles distant.
The road opens an immensely rich
mining and agricultural district.

THE SAYING THAT IT IS ONLY
SKIN DEEP IS A FALSEHOOD.
BEAUTY LOTIONS ARE WORTHLESS.
Beauty!
There is an old saying that "beauty
is only skin deep."
That saying is a monstrous error.
Beauty is heart-deep— lung-deep-*
stomach-deep — liver-deep.
Beauty isn't a mere matter of com
plexion, of form or of features. The
sparkling eye, the vivacity of man
ner, the rounded form, the quick wit
and the sprightliness of carriage have a
world to do with a woman's attractive
ness. These are things that are more
than skin deep. A woman may have
irregular features and still be the most
attractive of her sex.
There's a world of pathos in the spec
tacle of an unlovely woman looking
into a mirror and saying: "Ah, if I
were only beautiful, how happy this
life would be!" Many an unattractive
woman has said this as the mirror re
flected a living picture devoid of fresh
ness and fairness and her own exper
ience told her she was unattractive.
Attractive women are always sought
for, while unattractive women are neg
lected. There is no one who knows this
so well as the unattractive woman. Is
it any wonder, then, that the plain wo
man should be'irresfstibly attracted by
advertisements that tell of the restora
tion at youth, of the substitution of
beauty for ugliness, of the removal of
wrinkles and of the making of a fair
face out of a plain one?
Women fancy that, having lost na
ture's gift of attractiveness, they can
depend on artificial means. They turn
hopefully but futilely to the quackeries
of "beauty doctors." They put fruit
less faith in the mysterious potionfl ol
complexion specialists, and believe they
can supply that which has been lost.
With this false idea in mind they un
dergo all kinds of torture in the hands
of specialists. Women have even per
mitted the skin to be removed from
their faces. For days they haw bees
denied the privilege of talking. Eating
was barely possible. They have been
r< ndered nearly blind. For days they
have felt as if they were one big.
pitfous ache.
Thousands of women are today nurs
ing fond hopes in their breasts that j
they can render themselves attractive
by smearing their features with al!
sorts of useless and harmful prepara
tions.
There is only one thing on this earth j
that will round out the cheeks, put j
fairness into a woman's face and post- j
pone the coming of wrinkies. There
is only one thing that will restore the
sparkle to the eye, vivacity to the man- j
ner. wit and animation to the conver
sation and the sprightliness of youth
to the carriage.
That one thing is health.
You might as well try to make water
run up hill as to combine sickness and
weakness with the vivacity and attrac
tiveness that go with health. They j
are as far apart as the planets.
When health goes away, beauty and
attractiveness go with it. When it
comes back it has the same compan
ions. Health Is beauty. Health is at
tractiveness. Health is what keeps the
blossoms in the cheeks and the bright
ness in the eyes. Health keeps the
wrinkles back. Health is life itseif.
There are thousands cf women in th-?
world who suffer from weakness and
drains and pains peculiar to their sex.
The nature of their trouble is of a" char
acter that makes modest women hesi
tate about trying to effect a cure.
They remain silent while their troubles
grow worse. Beauty of features de
creases as the disorders increase. They
become old long before their time.
Many apply to the '"beauty doctcrs"
for help. They might as well apply to
the moon.
It isn't the face that is sick. The
troubles all lie in the distinctly femi
nine organs. The face is merely a bul
letin board for the rest of the body.
If anything is wrong in the organs dis
tinctly feminine the face tells it.
A remedy that cures all "female j
troubles" is Dr. Pierces Favorite Pre
scription. It ean*be taken in the pri
vacy of the home. Not one case in a.
hundred is so severe that this wonder
ful remedy will not relieve and cure it.
The patient who takes Dr. Pierces
Favorite Prescription will find it the
most Infallible restorer of freshness and
fairness in the world. She will find her
strength growing and her weakness
disappearing in a short time. She will
be free from bearing 1 down pains, from
dratns, from nervousness.
The "Favorite Prescription* does
away with the abhorrent "local treat
ment" which most doctors insist upon.
There is not the shadow of excuse for
such a humiliating proceeding.
The "Favorite Prescription" makes
the coming of baby easy. It brings the
mother through the ordeal safely an! j
with the least degree of pain. It builds ;
up and strengthens all the organs of i
womanhood. It makes sick women i
well. It makes plain women attractive, j
It is the only medicine of its kind that j
is prepared by a regularly graduated,
experienced and skilled specialist in the
treatment of diseases of women. Its
sale exceeds the combined sales of all
other medicines for women.
It is one of the mysteries of the cen
tury why a woman should suffer need
lessly, when there is a remedy sold by
all good doalers that will relieve and
cure her. Honest dealers will not rec
ommend inferior substitutes.
