Long-Standing

Blood Diseases are cured by the persevering use of Ayer's Sarsaparilla.

This medicine is an Alterative, and causes a

radical change

in the system.

The process, in some cases, may not be quite so rapid as in others but, with persistence,

the result is certain.

Itead these testimonials For two years I suffered from a severe pain in my right side, and had" other troubles caused by a torpid liver and dyspepsia. After giving several medicines a fair trial without a cure, I began to take Ayer's Sarsaparilla. I waji greatly benefited by the first bottle, and after taking five bottles I was completely cured." John W. Benson, 70 Lawrence St., Lowell, Mass.

Last May a large carbuncle broke out on my arm. The usual remedies had no effect and I was confined to my bed for fight weeks. A friend induced me to try Ayer's Sarsaparilla. Less than three bottles healed the sore. In all my experience with medicine, I never saw more

Wonderful Results.

Another marked effect of the use of this medicine was the strengthening of my sight."-r Mrs. Carrie Adams, Holly Springs, Texas.

I had a dry scaly humor for years, and suffered terribly and, as my brother and sister were similarly afflicted, I presume the malady is hereditary. Last winter, Dr. Tyron, (of Fernandina, Fla.,) recommended me to take Ayer's Sarsaparilla, and continue it for a year. For five months I took it daily. I havo not had a blemish upon my body for the last three months." T. E. Wiley, 146 Chambers St., New York City.

Last fall and winter I was troubled with a dull, heavy pain in my side. I did not notice it much at first, but it gradually grew worse until it became almost unbearable. During the latter part of this time, disorders of the stomach and liver increased my troubles. I began taking Ayer's Sarsaparilla, and, after faithfully continuing the use of this medicine for some months, the pain disappeared and I was completely cured."—Mrs. Augusta A. Furbusb, Haverhill, Mass.

VANDALIA ANNUAL REPORT.

What

Is Shown for ihe Three Companies Last Year.

THE PASSENGER AND FREIGHT BUSINESS IN THE AGGREGATE.

Interesting Figures—The Cost Per Mile of Running an Engine, Etc.

The following facts are taken from the annual repqrt of the Terre Haute & Indianapolis company: "You will observe the gross earnings are less than for the year ending October 31st, 1887, whilst the expenses are greater. It must be remembered that the year ending Oatob6r 31st, 1887, was aD unusually favorably one, both as to tonnage and rates, and that, although the gross earnings for the year ending October 31st, 1888, are lees than for the previous year, they are still largely in excess of the gross earnings for the year ending October 31st, 1886. The increase in expenses is,0)3inly due to ^changes in the way of betterments and additions made to the property, a sull statement of which appears in the report of the assistant general manager, herewith submitted."

The earnings of the Terre Haute & Indianapolis road were as follows: Gross, $1,196,914.85 decrease last year, $60,655.98 or 4.83 per cent. The earnings equaled per mile, $15,074.48 on main line, a decrease of $763.94 or 4.82 per cent, as compared with the previous year. The operating expenses were $945,820.48, an increase of $114,453 94 or 13.77 per cent. The expenses absorbed 79.02 per cent, of the earnings, an increase of 12.91 per cent over the previous year. There was a decrease of $84,997.41, or 9.97 per cent. the earnings from freight: .of this, a decrease of $21,963.79 was in the earnings from the transportation of coal, the total earnings from that source having been reduced from $212,967.27 in the previous year to $191,003.48 in the year just closed. The coal carried was 20,488 tons, or 4.67 per cent, less than in the previous year, The decrease in the freight earnings resulted wholly from the smaller volume of traffic moved, as the average rate received was within a fraction of 1 per cent., the same as during the year 1887. Outside of the decrease in the coal business and a decrease of 26.87 per cent, in the amount of live stock carried, the falling off was principally in the material going into the manufacture of iron and the finished product. On the other hand, there was a gratifying increase in the amount of grain transported, this increase being 63 60 per cent. The revenue received from passengers was $785.32 less than in the previous year, while at the same time the number of passengers hauled was 12.03 per cent, greater, and the passenger train mileage was increased 13.56 per cent. The number of local passengers carried was increased 13 50 per cent.

The revenue received from passengers was $785 32 lees than in the previous year, while at the same time the number of passengers hauled was 12.03 per cent, greater, and the passenger train mileage was increased 13.56 per cent. The number of local passengers carried was increased 13 56 per cent., but the average haul per local passenger being 21.98 miles, a decrease of 2.44 per cent., the local passenger mileage was increased only 10.79 per cent. The number of through passengers carried was 8 per cent, more than in the previous year, and the haul of 7183 miles being 1.45 per cent, greater, the through passenger mileage was increased 9.56 per cent. Whilst both classes of passenger traffic were increased as Bbove, the revenue was not increased.

The mileage of cars hauled in passenger trains was 2.78 per cent, greater than in the previous year. This was caused by an increase of 3.84 per cent, in the mileage of passenger coaches, and an increase of 5.80 per cent, in the mileage of baggage, mail and express cars. There was a decrease of 5.15 per cent, in the mileage of sleeping cars. Passenger trains averaged 6 22 caio per train, of which 3.64 were coaches and sleeping cars, and 2.58 were baggage, mail and express cars.

There were killed during the year 41 head of cattle, 14 bogs, 7 horses and 2 mules. The total amount paid for stock killed and injured was $1,798 25.

The expense of maintenance of way was increased $26,371.90, orl5.95 per cent. The large improvements made during the year, the costs of which are charged under the head of maintenance of way, are briefly summarized as follows: A heavy steel and iron bridge over the Wabash river at Terre Haute, consisting of four fixed spans and one draw spnn, each of 166 feet in length, a total of 830 feet long, was erected to take the place of a lighter structure, which had been erected several years ago, and which was found too light to carry the heavy traffic ,of the present day. The masonry of three small bridges was renewed and work on the fourth was nearly completed at the close of the fiscal year. The renewal of culvert masonry begun in previous years was continued. Extensive renewals were made to cattle guards and fences 4,303 miles of new steel rails, 70 pounds to the yard, were laid in the track, and the track otherwise materially improved. The total expenditures for maintenance of way was $191,697.42, of whichj$li2,031.79 was for maintenance, and the remainder for betterments and new construction. The total expenditures under the following heads were as follows: Steel rails $8,779.76, Iron rails $1,578.31, labor on track $49,40103, cattle guards and road crossings $4,431.49, cross ties $26,747.46, ditching $1,867.33, repairs of fences $7,815.06, repairs of bridges $71,701.23: tois last item is an increase of$38,159.90 over a similar expense in the previous year while there are also increases in the expenditures for cattle guards and road crossings. ditching and repairs of fences of $1,852 17, $1, I25.I2, and $4,544.63 respectively. The increase in what was strictly maintenance of way expenses as compared with previous years was practically all in the four itomBf bridge^ cflttl© guards, ditchos and fences. The heavy expense on account of cattle guards and road crossings is explained by the statement that in addition to the ordinary repairs, it was found aecessary to entirely renew during the year ninety-nine cattle guards. There are now but thirty cattle guards on this division needing complete renewal. The increase in the cost of ditching and fenoes was the result of small expenditure during the previous year. The expenditure for the new iron

the Wabash river

bridge over was 855,422.35. ST. L», V. A T. H. DIVISION*.

The gross earnings of the St. Louis, Vandalia & Terre Haute, leased to the T. H. & I. company, were $1,622,715.69, a decrease this year of $134,288.34. The gross earnings on this division equaled $10,250.89 per mile main line, or $848.31 per mile less than tbe previous year. The. operating expenses were $1,123,917.81. an increase this year of $11,836.29. On this division the expenses absorbed 69.26 per cent, of the earnings, or 5.97 per cent, more than in the previous year. There was a falling off of $147,692.53, or 13.12 per cent, in the revenue from freight. Of this amount, the revenue from local freight decreased $20,899.72, and the revenue from through freight $126,679.28. The local tonnage was 431 per cent., and the foreign 56.9 per cent, of the whole the local ton mileage 14.2 per ».ent., and the through 85.8 per cent, of the whole, and the local freight produced 32 6 per cent, and the through 67.4 per cent. of the revenue. Referring to the falling off of $29,131.15, or 6.24 per cent., in the revenue received from passengers, $21,261.82 was in the local traffic and $7,869.33 in the through traffic. The number of local passengers carried was 2.27 per cent, greater, but the haul of 29.54 miles being 1.99 per cent, shorter and the rate received 10.94 per cent, lower, tbe revenue from local passengers was 1.07 per cent, less than in the previous yea'-. There was an increase of $14,845 70, or 8.23 per cent., in the expense of maintenance of way. Thtepsoperty was materially improved during the year.

T. a. A L. DIVISION.

The gross earnings of the Terre Haute &. Logansport division were $541,229 95, an increase this year of $9,704 56. The gross earnings equalled $2,962.40 per mile, an increase over the previous year of 853.12 per mile. The operating expenses were $470,295 41, an increase this year of $'20,017.01. Ihe expenses absorbed 86 89 per cent, of the earnings, an increase of 2.18 per cent. The earnings from freight were increased $1588.28, or 0.44 per cent. The tonnage moved was 12.44 per cent, greater than during the previous year, but the average haul of 93.58 miles being 0.46 miles or 0.49 per cent. Bhorter, the ton mileage was increased only 11.89 per cent. An average reduction of 10.25 per cent, in the rate, however, had the effect of causing us to do 11.89 per cent.fmore business for only 0.44 per cent, more revenue. The volume of local freight business handled WBB 1.39 per cent, less than in the previous year, while the through business was 5315 per cent, greater, tbe local ton mileBge being decreased 316 per cent, and the through ton mileage increased 38.95 per cent. The receipts from the transportation of passengers were $1,486 28, or 1 per cent, greater than in the previous year. This resulted from 2 78 per cent, more passengers being carried 2 82 per cent, legs distance at a rate 1.13 per cent greater than in 1887. The number of local passengers carried was increased 2.81 per cent.

On October 31, 1888, there were 26 passenger coaches, 23 cabooses, 5) stoves, 234 box cars, 95 white line, 1,082 coal, 90 platform, 38 work flats and 99 coal eased.

charges to operating expenses all improvements to property. On each division there was a large amount of work done in repairing bridges, laying new steel, ballasting, cutting down grades, making fills and extending side-tracks. It is questionable if any railroad com pany in the state has a larger mileage in proportion to the length of its lines than has tbe Vandalia, it, including the branches at the Brazil coal mines, reaching 175^ miles, ninety-eight of which is on the T. H. & I. proper, forty-fire and one-half on the St. L., V. & T. H., and thirty-two on the T. H. A L. During the year the equipments were consider ably increased.

Lawrence Mail: Mrs. Lu Owens, wife of Frank Owens, was severely burned about tbe face and head shortly after 7 o'clock last Friday evening while trying to hurry up a slow fire by throwing coal oil in a stove from a cup. The flames burst out in great violence, enveloping her head and setting fire to her hair. She was alone at the time, but managed to extinguish the flames by throwing her skirt over her head.

A Flra Alarm at Sullivan.

Special to the Express. SULLIVAN, Iud., March 25.—An alarm of fire yesterday morning called the department to Mr. Wm. Crowder's residence. The damage was alight, owing to the prompt arrival of help. For a volunteer fire company, Sullivan is hard to beat.

Cold Frames.

The earliest cabbages, cauliflower and lettuce sent from tbe gardens to the town markets, are from cold-frame plants. The seeds were sown in September in the open ground when of the right size these plants are picked out into a cold frame, where they are kept as dormant as possible through the winter. In a mild spell, the frames must be ventilated by a complete removal of the sashes, and they must be more or less ventilated, except in very severe weather, all through the winter. The plants are transplanted from the frames to the open ground either this month or next. The plants are prepared and hardened for this change by giving them proper exposure. To properly winter cold frame plants requires frequent attention, more than will be profitable in the garden of the farme or other private garden, unless a gardener is employed. Those who wish for early crops by the use of cold-frame plants can purchase them at a seed store. Nearly as early crops as cabbages, etc., may be had tV saving fhe plants from seeds sownLjiajk _hot-bed and carefully hardened off. The hot-bed requires such frequent attention—a neglect of half an hour may be fatal to its son tents that the few early plants required in the family garden can be most readily produced in.

Medical Monopoly Not Wanted. Boston Dally Globe, Feb. 7th, '89.

In the legislature of Massachusetts a bill is now pending whose object is to prohibit, under fine and imprisonment, the practice of "medicine, surgery or midwifery" by any other than the "regular" physicians. The attempt to pass such a bill has been made before, but failed. It is a measure which ought not to pass, because it invades the personal liberty of the citizen not the personal liberty of the "irregular" physician only, but of the patient. "Only yesterday Dr. Holt, in a paper read before the Massachusetts MedicoLegal Society, an organization of 'regular' physicians, oomplained of the ignorance of his professional brethren as shown in the notorious Robinson poisoning cases. "This crime," said the doctor, "one of the greatest in our medical history, would never have been discovered but for the suspicions aroused outside of the profession." And he called attention to the fact that in five of the poisoning cases the regular physician certified the cause of death to be pneumonia, typhoid fever, meningitis, bowel disease and Bright's disease respectively. "This shows how far the 'regular' physicians are from being infallible." "It would seem to be more in accordance with justice and common sense were they to perfect their own knowledge before they appeal to law to prohibit others from healing." "Not long ago a Globe reporter called upon ten 'regular' physicians on the same day, and dessribed his symptoms in exactly the same language to each. The ten physicians informed him that he was suffering from ten different diseases and gave him ten different prescriptions, each utterly inconsistent with the others." "The implied claim that there is any certainty in 'regular' medicine as at present practiced, is absurd. All medical practice, outside of the simplest complaints, is more or less guess-work and experiment, whether regnlar or irregular." "When Garfield was shot five of the most famous regular physicians in the country spent three months probing for the bullet in the region of his left hip, and after his death it was found under his right shoulder-blade." We have but a word to add, which is that the above is the dootrine Messrs. H. H. Warner & Co., proprietors of Warner's Safe Cure, have fought for andpromulgated for the past ten years. We know of scores of cases, and so does the reader, where doctors have treated the wrong disease. They say advanced kidney disease cannot be cured, yet thousands of cases have been cured by Warner's Safe Cure yet so bigoted are the medical profession that the majority of them will not use it, although they know they could therefore save many valuable lives, because, forsooth, it is against their fossilized code. Out upon such —o'otry. Every method to 'prolong life should be utilized, and the regular medical profession should be the first to welcome it instead of encompassing themselves in self-conceit and bigotry, doctoring symptoms instead of disease, and sending their patients to the cemetery, poisoned with drugs, but on the death certificate that they died from typhoid fever, meningitis, pneumonia, or some pther equally foreign cause."
