OIE OF DR. CUPID'S PRESCRIPTION
That Love sometimes cures disease Is a
fact that has recently been called to the
attention of the public by a prominent
physician and college professor. Is soma
nervous diseases of women, sock as hys
teria, this physician gives instances where
women were put in a pleasant frame of
mind, were made happy by falling in lore,
and in consequence were cured of their
aervow troubles the weak, nervous sys
tem toned and stimulated by little Dr.
Cupid became strong and vigorous, si-,
most without their knowledge. Many a
woman is nervous and irritable, feels drag
ged down and worn out, for no reason that
she can think of. She may be ever so
much in love, but Dr. Cupid, fails to curs
her. In ninety-sine per cent of these
cases it is the womanly organism which
requires attention; the weak back, dizzy
spells sad black circles about the eyes, are
only symptoms. Go to the source of the
trouble and correct the irregularities, the
drains on the womanly system and the
other symptoms disappear. So sere of it
is the World's Dispensary Medical Associa
tion, proprietors of Dr. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription, that they cSer a faeo reward
for women who cannot be cured of ltucor
rhea, female weakness, -prolapsus, or fall
ing of the womb. All they ask is a fair
and reasonable tal of their means of cure.
Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets clear the
complexion and sweeten the. breath, they
cleanse and regulate the stomach, liver and
bowels and produce permanent benefit and
do not re-act oa the system. One is a
gentle laxative.

GASOLINE ESCAPES FROM TANK
Aeronaut Lands in Crowd of Lin-
denwood School Children, Who
Tow Meteor by Its
Guy Ropes.
Benbow'n airship, the Montana Meteor.
mat a successful balloon ascension yes
terday afternoon from the Aeronautic
Contours" in tho presence of a large
crowd. The Meteor rose from the ground
at 3-03 o'clock, sailed over the south fence
without making any entangling alliances,
and striking a height of perhaps 200 feet,
saileri due south for four m'les,
landing on th commons between Scanlan
and Jamison avenues in Lindennood in
the outbwest part of the city.
The airship w as up about forty-five min
utes. It cid not return under its own
power, but was toted .back by an auto
mobile. The flight of the Meteor furnished
an exciting handicap race between the
airship and a huge Wmton motor car
dricn by George Arbuckie, who, since the
airship trials, has become the official air
ship chaser. Arbuckie gave Benbow a
fifteen-minute start, and although the au
tomobile had hard roads to traacl, he -nas
beiten only by a few minutes In the race.
The tamo finish of the Meteor was due.
Benbow claims, to the loss of his gaso
line. The tank sprung a leak and Its
contents was lost, causing the motor to
go "dead"
The start was made under th most fa
vorable weather conditions. The airship
also was fit and ready for the flight of
lis exlstenco. Benbow -nas ready for the
start shortly after 2 o'clock, when the
leak in the tank was discovered, and it
took nearly an hour to solder It.
When the airship finally left th ground
at 3 08 It rose slowly to a height of 200
feet. The propellers had not been started,
as Benbow wished first to get rid of the
surplus expansion gas in the balloon be
fore making any test of the dirigibility of
hi3 vessel.
SHIP DRIFTS LAZILT.
The craft drifted lazily to the south and
west, first driving ahead with her prow
turned In the direction she was proceed
ing and at times forging ahead with her
ndder In tiiat direction. Occasionally the
aeronaut worked the rudder and the ship
would respond slowly and for short dis
tances to this maneuver.
The ship had ben up sixteen minutes
before the propellers were observed to be
revolving. The course was changd to due
south. With occasional variations of the
course to the east, which might have
been Induced by air currents and were
not clearly proven to have been the cal
culated movements of a dirigible balloon,
the ship proceeded until the landing was
made some distance south and east of the
Aerodrome.
When the airship had been up fifteen
minutes and it became evident that the
aeronaut could not come back against the
wind, Percy Hudson became solicitous for
the gat which it contained. Gas Is precious
about the Aeronautic Concourse, as ,it is
needed for the aerial flotilla which will
marshal In the skies for president Roose
velt next Saturday. - t
He feared that Mr. Benbow might en
tirely deflate his balloon -when he landed'
and all the rare gas be lost. So he mount
ed a fleet motor car. and with a party
set out in pursuit of the Meteor. In the
car were press representatU es, H. F. Mc
Garvie, Wlllard A. Smith and George Ar
buckie, the chauffeur.
Out along the Sklnker road, through tha
Agriculture entrance, along bumpy and
rutty dirt roads, up hill and down dale,
the great motor car sped, 'with the air
ship in the sky serving as its compass
needle. It was tho wildest and most hair
raising ride that any one of the occupants
of the motor car ever had taken. Speed
limits there were none. Steep, almost per
pendicular, descents lay before the motor
car, and at the. sight of them the passen
gers gasped in terror. But Arbuckla was
out to overtake the airship ai.d save its
precious gas if possible, aid he recked
not of precipices, but pullei! cut another
notch and was down one hill and up an
other before the passengers had recov
ered their breath.
SURROUNDED BY SCHOOL CHIL
DREN. ,
St. Louis County roads were not built
for automobiles, but this did not "feaze"
Arbuckie, and he plowed through the
rocky, rutty, serpentine and precipitous
lanes In pursuit of the Meteor without
ever slacking speed to any great extent.
At last the motor car ov ertook the Meteor,
which, by that time, bad emulated the ex
ample of the Duke of, York and had first
gone up and then come down. The pre
cious gas was saved and the motor car
had not raced in vain.
Benbow was the center of a yelling,
howling mob of some half a thousand
school children, who had surrounded the
outlandish craft just as it landed among
them'on their way home from school and
were leading the airship In triumph by Its
guy ropes. He had landed gently, with
out a jar or injury to himself or his ship
In landing he deflated his balloon only a
little.
Benbow said that his gasoline tank had
sprung a leak and caused the motor to go
dead. He explained that he had not start
ed the motor sooner because the heat of
the sun had expanded the gas In the bal
loon, causing It to escape at the neck. He
feared that the spark from his motor
might ignite the escaping gas.
The airship was towed back by an auto
mobile without being deflated. It reached
the Fair grounds last night at 10 o'clock.

for the Soldiers.

War yesterday and to-day have been set
aside as benefits for the soldiers. Boers
and British from the Boer War Camp were
scattered over the Fair grounds esterday
morning and at every entrance, telling
visitors about their coming benefit per
formances. This was an excellent way of
Informing the public at short notice, and
so thoroughly did they do their work that
the result was most gratifying, a large
crowd being gathered to witness the spe
cial programme presented for the occa
sion. Many friends of the soldiers, who
have before obtained free passes Into the
grand stand, arrived early and bought
box-seat tickets.
The special events put on in addition to
the usual programme added further inter

ed. General VHJocn and Captain Dlx were
the respective winners for their sides In
tha "melee de rose" competition. The
tug-of-war compeUUon on horseback and
"wrestling on horseback'1' followed and
were novel and Interesting.
The tug of war resulted In one win for
each side, and the final will be settled to
night. The Boers were successful in the
wrestling bout, but tho British team say
they will "get their own back" to-night
"A very amusing number was the race
between Field Cornet Thiederman, mount

REPT7BIJC SFHCIAL.
Washington, Nov. 21 Governor S. R
Van Sant of Minnesota to-day gave out
the following Interview regarding his con
ference with the President yesterday on
the question of increasing the powers of
the Interstate Commerce Commission:
"The object of the Interview with the
President was to urge upon him the ne
cessity of granting Increased powers to
the Interstate Commerce Commission and
to request him to recommend such action
In his forthcoming message. We believe
tho best way to correct many of tho
evils of transportation Is to give to this
commission the power when a rate, after
Investigation, has been found to be un
reasonable, to fix one. have it go into
effect immediately and stand until f the
courts decide otherwise.
"Without this power the commission Is
of little value, except for the purpose of
gathering statistics.
"We fully realize that the growth and
development of the country is dependent
upon the great lines of transportation and
this action Is not sought with any de
sire to injure them or do them an In
justice. But as the great combinations
of railways have practically eliminated
the quesUon of competition, formerly a
sufficient safeguard, it seems the most
feasible plan left to protect the publlo
from unreasonable and unjust rates.
"The railroad is a neccesitj. but should
not be allowed to become a monopoly."
"If railroad companies are permitted to
exercise the unrestricted power of rate
making and they continue to cxerciso It
unJusUy as they Inevitably will, a strong
sentiment will be created for Govern
ment ownership. It is apparent ht Mr.
Bryan will advocate this as the main
plank of the Democratic platform in 150ft.
"Government ownership would be a
dangerous experiment, but I believe that
SO per cent of the people who have studied
the question believe that the Interstate
Commerce Commission should have the
authority to replace rates discriminating
against localities and Individuals with Just
and reasonable rates."
In these words Governor A. B. Cummins
of Iowa to-dav ouUlned his reasons for
urging enlargement of the powers of the
Interstate Commerce Commission Immedi
ately. With Governor Van Sant of Min
nesota, who is now In Washington, and
Governor La Foll3tte of Wisconsin, he has
brought this quesUon before President
Roo"evelt.
Various localities throughout the United
States, he declares, were subjected to
arbitrary oppression, from which there Is
now no relief.
"There is now no competition In rate
making." said Governor Cummins to-day.
"Mark the distinction between getUng
business and ratemaklng. There is plenty
of the former; none of the latter. Con
sidering all the railroads In the United
.States, I am told that within the last four
years there has been an increase of 40
per cent in their net revenues; and not
more than 4 or 5 per cent In their mileage.
"This at least creates the presumption
that too much is charged for transporta
tion. "Tho excess've rates charged are, how
ever, as a whole of lesser concern than
the unequal and unfair distribution of
rates between localities. This has been
fully demonstrated in hearings before the
Interstate Commerce Commission, and It

Is almost needless for me to dte in
stances. "Everyone knows that the railroads ar
now organized into a few systems so far
as freight rates are concerned, which ther
fix to suit themselves. What we ask t
that when the Interstate Commerce Com
mission has investigated alleged discrimi
natory rates and finds that they are un
fair, that it shall have the authority to
Impose a rate which it considers reason
able to remain In force until the railroads
by appeal to the courts show that tha
commission acted Improperly or unjustly."
