Coal Famine in Sight.

The city light and water plant is facing a coal famine and unless a shipment is received in the next two weeks the local coal dealers will have to be called upon to furnish fuel for the plant. The city uses a cheap grade of coal and has a contract with the mines to furnish same. It is unable to secure a supply, however, owing to the shortage of cars, and telegrams and letters urging a speedy shipment remain unanswered by the contractors. The city has already drawn upon the local dealers for all the cheap coal that they have and are now thinking of shipping in cord wood to help the situation along. , Tuesday worfl was received from a mine in Davis county that a supply of coal would be shipped in a few days.

TO CHANGE TO NATIONAL BANK.

The Commercial State Bank Making Arrangemehts to Change to National Bank. . The Commercial State Bank of Rensselaer will, be known as the National Bank of Rensselaer before many months. Some months ago the bank made application to change to a national bank, and at last the application has been granted and as soon as possible the reorganization will be effected. The amount of the oapital stock has not yet been determined upon but it will be increased considerable over the present capital stock of $26,000.

The Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Ry. Many people unacquainted with the geography of the Weßt imagine that beeause the names “Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul” are used in the corporate title of the railway owning the Short Line between Chicago and Omaha, they must go via the cities of Milwaukee, St. Paul to reach their destination—and if it be Omaha or west thereof. This is a mistaken idea. On a map the line running directly east and west would look like this: Omaha Chicago There is nothing more simple than that, and it is less than 500 miles between Chicago and Omaha. Two through trains daily in each direction with the best Sleeping Oar and Dining Oar Service, and all regular travelers know and appreciate the merits of the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Railway’s Short Line between the East and the West. Time tables, maps and information furnished on application to O. O. Mordough, Traveling Passenger Agent, 12 Oarew Bldg., Cincinnati. 3t.

A National Bank.

A project is on foot in Rensselaer for the establishment of a national bank here. J. W. Paxton is the prime mover in the project, but is being backed by some of the wealthiest citizens of the county. The bank will be capitalized for probably $60,000, divided among as many stockholders as possible. Among those mentioned as probable stockholders are J. W. Paxton, John Makeever, Wm. E. Moore, Swainey Makeever, John Eger and Austin Moore. The project is almost sure to be a go unless the company is unable to secure a suitable room. A bank building will probably be erected if a suitable looatlon can be secured.

THREE KILLED IN WRECK.

Lafayette Trainmen Meet Death la Monon Wreck. A horrible railroad accident oocurred at Quincy, a little station between Qosport and Greencastle, the Monon at 0 o’clock Tuesday morn* inpf. The accident snuffed out the lives of three railroad men, all residents of Lafayette. The fast freight! train No. 71, which left that oity at# o’clock in the morning, ran into « switch of whioh the point had been slightly sprung, allowing the wheel flanges to go on to the siding. The freight train was going down grade and running at full speed and struck a number of timber cars which were standing on the siding. No. 71 was pulled by engine No. 20l r crewed by Engineer A. 8. Barker and Fireman Joe Eaglin. The train was in charge of Oonduofor Albert Pearson. The head breakman, Hiram Perry, was riding in the engine at the time of the accident. The engine and five oars loaded with hogs were thrown down a steep embankment. Logs, earn and hogs were smashed indescribably and thrown over many square yards of surrounding ground. Perry wm caught under the rear of the engine. He was crushed and scalded by steam and a big hog lay on top of him. He lived an hour and suffered great agony. He said that Engineer Barker and Fireman Eaglin had jumped from the engine. He was so weak that he oould not tell any more about the accident. Up to a late hour in the afternoon the bodies of Barker and Eaglha had not been gotten from under the engine. The locomotive was of the battleship type. The big Jumbe desrlck from the Lafayette shops wae dispatched to the scene of the wreck.

Some Difference In Men.

“I don’t know.” I expect it is all right but I' don’t know.”. He never knows because he never Investigates. He is not careful. He does not keep on looking until he knows. If you know a thing to be true, then all doubt is gone. One man runs his farm for years, and does not know at the end of eaoh season, whether it was run at a profit or a loss. One man feeds a bunch of cattle or hogs and docs not know, has no way of knowing, if he lost or made money. A man may feed Acme Food and never know whether it did him any good or not. “Oh yes, I fed it but I don’t know how It was; my stock all seemed to like it, but I don’t know.** But the careful feeder knows, the scales always know. The fancy feeders that win prizes know. 220 of the prize winners aft the fat stock show in Chicago this fall were fed Acme Food. The noted feeders of the world know and oontinue to feed and con* tlnue to bay Acme Food year after year and feed. Why? Because it pays to feed. Because $1 Invested in Aome Food produces them a profit of $3 on the investment. That is what they say; and they know.

THE CHATTANOOGA ADVERTISING.

The Chattanooga Medicine Company wttk laboratories and general offices at Chattanooga, Tennessee, and branch houses at St. Louis, Mo., and San Francisco, Cal., has become one of the largest proprietary medicine concerns in |he world. In the growth of *h«s great business two factors have been dominant: t The merit of Its products—Wine of Cardul and Thedford’s Black-Draught—turn been widely recognized and the original advertising methods adopted have excited great comment. The publicity for these medicines does not consist of the catch phrase and extravagant statement, too often employed In advertising today, but instead the plain story of experience with the medicines given in the plain language of the people themselves The following letter is a fair sample «f the thousands of Wine of Cardui testimonials published during the past twenty years: 3008 Eastern Avenue, Cincinnati, Ohio, May 20,1903, I consider Wine of Cardui a most excellent woman’s remedy. It is certainly a specific as a tonic and regulator. For eight years I suffered with female trouble. Ihad intense palm in the back and head, leaving me so weak that l was unable to stand at times. Medicine did not seem to help me, but after all remedies had failed me, Wine of Cardui proved my one great, true friend. What a relief I experienced! It eame only a few days after t started taking it, I used it faithfully for four months and gradually grew stronger and better. lam now regular to the day and for the past two years have enjoyed blessed good health. I certainly wish every sick ana suffering woman could know of your blesned medicine, bow much pain and suffering It would prevent, and what a difference it would make in thousands of homes where there is sickness and sorrow to-day, if they had Wine of Cardui It would bring relief and joy it*, stead.
