LOATx DRIVE ON AUTO.
TO CHICAGO FROM ST. LOUIS IN
THIRTY-SIX HOURS.
Bonds Were Rough and Routes Were
Strange Mud, fcand, and Many Turns
Retarded Speed of Horseless Carriage
One lire Punctnred. '
John L. French, of St. Louis,- Is the
first man to make a trip from St. Louis
to Chicago on an automobile. lie made
the distance of 450 miles in thirty-six
hours, notwithstandluc the fact rimr
he encountered bad roads and was fre
quently retarded by following wrong
directions. He traveled without a chart
and did not try to choose the most direct
route. He made the journey to prove
that the horseless carriage could be
used satisfactorily on the dirt roads of
the country, and that it could be de
pended on to climb hills and to wheel
through deep mud.
The automobile la which the long
drive was made Is of phaeton pattern
and weighs 1,000 pounds. It consumed
eighteen gallons of gasoline at a cost of
cago was through mud, la some places
six Inches deep."
Mr. French believes that before many
years the automobile will be as common
as the bicycle, and that the summer
trip on the horseless carriage will be
a popular and fashionable recreation.
Maps of the best routes will be Indis
pensable, however, for the amount of
misinformation that he gathered con
cerning routes, roads, distances, and
towns was varied. ' He found sand
more of an obstacle than mud, and en
countered no difficulties In ascending
steep hills. With the general use of
the automobile will come an jdeal con
dition for farmers, Inasmuch as the
popularity of the horseless carriage
will compel more attention being paid
to the smoothness of country roads.
FEATS !N STR-ET TRAFFIC.
Hauling Pine Logs More than Fifty
eet Lontr Through Chicago.
The greatest feat to be seen In street
traffic in Chicago Is the handling and
transportation of the loads of Norway
pine logs designed for use as piles In
building foundations. The trunks of
these pine trees are of such great
length that the averasre Dasser-bv nn
tne street often wonders how in tho
other. The load moves slowly enougi
at the best, but when It annrnnrlipn
corner where a turn Is to be made tht,
driver pulls up a little and goes still
slower. Several rods before he reaches
the corner he begins drawiug up as
closely as possible to the curb opposite
to the direction In which he is about to
turn, In order that he may have as
great a space as possible for making
the turn to prevent running the sides
of the long, straight poles Into the
buildings.

ELECTION DAY.
How It Came to Be Tuesday After First
Monday in November.
The designation of the day for hold
ing the presidential election is left to
Congress. The first act passed by it
relating to that subject was In 1792. It
provided that presidential ni..tn.-a
should be appointed "within thirty-four
-J in. .
uaj a ueiore me nrst w eduesday In De
cember." This left each State free to
select a day to suit itself within tlmso
limits. Pennsylvania chose electors on
the last Friday in October. Other States
elected theirs on different days be
tween the beginning and middle of November.

Then a sore or ulcer appears on some

the blood near the sore, it increases in

removed by the burgeon's knife or flesh

and the treatment must begin there. The

?2 for the trip. The average speed was
iweive and a half miles an hour, and
the only accldenfwas the puncturing of
a tire. It was Mr. French's first Inten
tion to go only as far as Springfield, but
when he heard of the international race
meet In Chicago he went on to that city,
where he took medals in the three
classes in which he competed.
"When I left St. Louis 1 decided to
take the roads as they came," said Mr.
French, when seen after his arrival In
Chicago. "The highways and byways
of Illinois I found a perfect labyrinth.
The persons whom I met on the jour
ney, and from which I humbly Inquired
the best route to Chicago, so often mis
directed me that I lost much time.
Owing to the section divisions, the
roads are short and 1 found that I had
to turn a corner every ten minutes. As
the speed of the automobile had to be
decreased In order to make each turn.
I could not cover as great a distance as
if I had been on a straight road.. I am
sure that I could ninke a trln In much
better time if I were to repeat It, as I
know the route now. And, by the wny,
I think I happened on the best roads,
and I shall take the same route when I
next make the Journey.
Fifty Miles on Wrong Roadu.
"Leaving St. Louis at 8 o'clock In the
morning, 1 spent the night at Divernon,
eighty-live miles away. I ran 123 miles
during the day, but lost nfty miles by
going out of my wny according to di
rections given me by iwrsons of whom
I asked information. I took luncheon
at Staunton. Near Litchfield one of the
tires was punctured, and I had a bad
time until I reached Divernon. The
people had never seen an automobile,
and my machine created a great deal
of excitement. Men, women and chll.
dreu rushed out of the houses to look
at the horseless carriage. I was sur
prised when I saw the astonishment
with which the automobile was exam
ined. Even the horses were amazed,
and many times I was conirllPfi t
stop my vehicle In order to prevent run
aways. 1 lie dogs barked at me, but
they fled In terror when the mnr-hina
whizzed by them.
"At Divernon I patched the nnnetnr.
ed tire with rope and went on to Sprlng-
neiu. After leaving Divernon th rn.i.

mended, and then I decided to go on to

world the load of piles ever turns a cor

It Is not an uncommon sight to see
a knot of people collected at a street
corner watching the approach and skill
ful turning of the long wagon with Its
load of three or four piles. Turning
the corner and entering another street
at right angles is such a difficult feat
that as a rule the pines are taken
through the streets at night when there
Is no traffic to Interfere. Recently,
however, loads of them have been
driven through the heart of the city In
the daytime. Naturally during business
hours taking them through the streets
Is attended with far greater difficulties
than at night. When corners are turned
the long poles, as they are transported
in an angling direction from one street
to another, practically blockade traffic.

tlie Democrats asserted that his suc

lack of a definite election day. It was
alleged'that Kentucky and Ohio Whigs
had voted in both States, the election
being held on different days. So In lSu
the Democrats passed the law now on
the statute books making the first Tues
day after the first Monday election day.
At that time but five of the twenty
six States had their State elections In
November. In Michigan and Missis

days the first Monday and the follow

and Wednesday but had finally con

Army and was assigned to Co. "K,"
Sixth Infantry, then stationed at Fort
Douglas, Utah. My boyhood days had
been spent on a farm in Kentucky, but
1 had not been accustomed to manual
labor for several years previous to en
tering upon active military duties.
The constant and excessive daily drills,
sleepiug in tents and general exposure
of a severe winter, brought on a pecu
liar nervous trouble, which soon inca
pacitated me for all garrison work.
lhe post surgeon ordered me to the
hospital and diagnosed my case as
muscular rhnematism. My lower
limbs seemed to be dying losing all
sense of ontward feolitiir. The most
excruciating pains made me almost
wild with misery and I could not stand
alone. My appetite was ravenous, di
geiition perfect, lungs strong and gen
eral health good except for this dis
tressing disability.
After several days' treatment with
no change, the surgeon concluded I
had heart failure. He prescribed tino
ture of diuitalis, and gave me several
ounces of this without any effect, ex
cept that I kept getting worse. In the
fall of 1884, I was discharged on sur
geon's ceriificate of disability, and be
gan the difficult task of existing and
trying to legain my health in a strange
land, surrounded by nusympathetio
people.
My condition continued to grow
more alarming. I was compelled
to use a heavy staff to prevent falling.
Alt attempts at manual and mental
labor were made under exasperating
difficulties. I seemed about one-half
dead. My weight was less than 140
pounds, though I was over six feet in
height. I tried electricity with no
avail. Several local nhvsiciann cava
me treatment which was not effective.
Many well advertised remedies fnr
nervous debility were taken with no
satisfactory results.
I read all the medical authorities
obtainable, and finally found my symp
toms under the head of Locomotor
Ataxia. The author said there was no
cure for the disease, and I believed
him. He recommended a mixture of
iodide of potassium and sarsaparilla, aa
a possible aid to existence. I took sev
eral bottles of this formula aud double
the strength. This failing, 1 made up
my mind to die as soon as possible.
There was no comfort, pleasure or hap- .
piness in life which knew nothing but
pain.
One day I read the experience of a
man who had been afflicted with Loco
motor Ataxia, and cured by the use of
ut. Miuianis' rink nils for Pale Peo
ple. I bought one box and tried the
remedy, following the directions very
closely. This had a little effect, and I
procured a half dozen boxes, and took
them before I was couviuoed that a
cure was possible. I began with ouj
pill after each meal, in a few days I
took two, .mil finally used one box a
week. My pains gradually disappear
ed, color came to my flesh, I could
walk, run and jump, and actually dis
pensed with a cane.
