- "An Oddity In Railroading.
"The craze for fast time on railways
Is taking a new feature," observed a
prominent railroad official to a Star
writer recently. "It is the shortening
of lines and reconstruction of surveys
in order to make a given line as
straight as possible between two points.
It is, in fact, a scheme to make , time
. by saving distance. A railway , with
out a curve or a cutting is, of course, a
Splendid thing from an engineering
standpoint, but it is a very tedious
affair to the passenger. : To thoroughly
. realize how extremely monotonous a
long journey on a railway without a
curve or cutting is, one must travel on
the road from Buenos Ayres to the
Andes. That railroad beats all known
records for having 200 miles of tracks
almost on a line, such as mathemati
cians describe as the shortest distance
between any two points. No one who
has not seen this remarkable stretch of
road, straight in front and behind as
far as the eye can reach, even when
aided by a field glass, can grasp what it
means or what an amount of wearisome
monotony it involves and entails."

An Excellent Combination.
The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the well known remedy,
Strop of Figs, manufactured by the
California Fia Sybbp Co.; illustrate
the value of obtaining the liquid laxa
tive principles of plants known to be
medicinally laxative and presenting
them in the form most refreshing to the
taste and acceptable to the system. It
is the one perfect strengthening laxa
tive, cleansing1 the system effectually,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
gently yet promptly and enabling one
to overcome habitual constipation per
manently. Its perfect freedom from
every objectionable quality and sub
stance, and its acting on the kidneys,
liver and bowels, without weakening'
or irritating them, make it the ideal
laxative. .
In the process of manufacturing figs
are used, as they are pleasant to the
taste, but the medicinal qualities of the
remedy are obtained from senna and
other aromatic plants, by a method
known to the California Fie Syrup
Co. only. In order to get its beneficial
i effects and to avoid imitations, please
remember the full name of the Company

BRADSTREET'S REVIEW.
Distributive Trade Is Still of an En.
eouraglng Volume
Bradstreets says: Distributive trade,
While smaller at some markets, is still
of encouraging volume, industry is ac
tive, railway earnings heavy, prices
still tend upward and bank clearings
increase, while failures lessen. Fall
festivals and other celebrations at sev
eral cities have had an appreciable
effect upon retail trade, and proved a
stimulating factor in wholesale lines.
Industrial activity Is widespread, and
strikes are fewer and less costly than
in most years. Though lessened by
holidays, bank clearings, swelled partly
by heavy October disbursements and
partly by general business expanding,
tend to enlarge as the season advances.
Business failures are apparently, at
a minimum, and liabilities are certain
ly less costly than for many years past.
Prices as a whole manifest aggressive
strength. Farm products are especial
ly prominent in this direction, the
South's greatest staple, cotton, owing
to short crop, advancing, and, owing
to active speculation leading in extent
of gain with an advance of nearly
a cent for the week, of nearly 2 cents
as compared with a year ago . and of
quite 2 cents as compared with the
low water price touched in the season
of 1898-9.
Iron and steel holdall of their old
strength. ,
Wheat (including flour) shipments fot
the week aggregate. 5,183,889 bushels,
against 8,872,455 bushels last week,
5,497,273 bushels in the corresponding
week of 1898, 4,823,461 bushels in
1897, 4,050,772 in 1896, and 2,244,828
bushels in . 1895. Since July 1, this
season, the exports of wheat aggregate
55,699,413 bushels, against 52,498,121

tors. I subsisted only on the lightest
kind of diet. My stomach would not
retain solid food. The pain In my

to grow worse. I lost 4s pounds,
my nerves were com pletely shatter
ed, and I was very weak. Dr. O. W.
Jacobs, of Richmond, advised me to
take Ur.Wll Hams' Pink Pills for Pale
People. I began to use the pills, and
the first effect was the restoration
of my appetite, and the quieting of
my shattered nervous system. I be-
f an to regain my lost strength, and

A War-Time Mistake.
Ia a Missouri court recently a rather
novel case came up for decision. Dur
ing the. civil war a certain Northera
soldler went into the service, leaving a
young wife at home. In due time the
news reached him that his bride had
died and when the war ended he did
not return to his old home, but settled
out West. He married again, and with
his second wife accumulated a large
amount of property in Uratt county.
Not long ago he learned that his first
wife had not died, but, supposing him
to have been killed, had married an
other man. This man died, leaving
her a widow. When the Pratt county
man learned these facts he brought suit
for divorce, and the woman in the EaBt
heard of it and went out and fought
the case, asserting a claim to part of
the Pratt county man's property.
However, after the lawyers had made
a great fight before him, the judge
granted the divorce and left the Pratt
county man free to marry" the woman
who has been living with him for many
years as his wife. N. Y. Tribune.
