LOS ANGELES COUNTY PASADENA PASADENA, June 12.—(Regular Cor respondence.) The purchase of the Mt. Lowe railway by the Southern Pacific seems reasonably assured. Negotia tions have been pending for some time, and the Southern Pacific has made a thorough examination of the road and the three hotels belonging to it. Thi Southern Pacific's attorney at Los Ajj geles Is now examining the title, and if his report is favorable, an offer will be made to buy all the assetsof the road. The bondholders will secure 50 per cent and unsecured creditors 25 per cent of their claims, payment to be made In new bonds, guaranteed by the Southern Pacific. The present bond issue is $500, --000, and the other debts $80,000. There is no doubt that the offer will be ac cepted. The road has been in receivers' hands since last July. Four months ago the bondholders began foreclosure pro ceedings and a judicial sale is expected any possible question as to the title, so the deal with the Southern Pacific will undoubtedly go through. It is un derstood that In the event of the sale Prof. Lowe, who built the road, is to be given some important position. It is also stated that the Southern Pacific will extendi the Pasadena branch to connect at Rublo canyon with the lower terminus of the Mt. Lowe railway, and a large part of the Southern Pacific tour ist travel can thus be carried up the Mt. Lowe railway. The plans Include the establishment on Echo mountain of an institute to be known as the Lowe institute, devoted/ to astronomical and other scientific Investigation. The in stitute was incorporated a few days ago.

When the system is drained of its energy the nerves are robbed of the elec tricity which furnishes the motive power, and nothing will cure but the restoration of this electrical life. An appliance is to be had which will saturate the human nerves \\i h all the electrical energy they will hold. It does this every night while the patient sleeps. It can be used at any time, day or night, bui acts best while the nerves are resting. Its effect is soothing, quieting to the impoverished nerves, and each time that it is applied it stores a wonderful energy in the weakened parts. Day after day this energy is distributed where it is most needed, and as It gives with each application eight times as much energy as is required to keep up the action of the human machinery, the excess is stored away to replenish the power which has been wasted, and in a few weeks there is—wonderful to behold—a new man. It is being accomplished daily_by , • Dr. Saidletfs Electric Belt "Your Ttelt has entirely cured my Indigestion and some troubles resulting therefrom, together with Debility.
