SYSTEM A STUPID ONE. Even the most 'experienced and hardened traveler must feel the grim shadow of the custom house creep over his soul every time he approaches a home port. Thousands of people now know what It means to "go through the custom house," where hundreds knew about it only a few years ago. And It Is an experience which, once undereone. is never forgotten. If there is
anything that can make a patriotic man ashamed of and angry with hi country, it is this custom house business. Every one knows that, .even from a protectionist point of view, our duties are levied on commerce on goods brought here in course of trade. The idea that' passengers should be held up on the dock and made to account for every little purchase they havo made abroad, that tbey should be taxed on their own wearing apparel in excess of $100 Is preposterous. The man who is compelled meekly to open his trunks and sachels, to knock off the lids of any packages he may have with him, and to stand by while an Inspector is
turning his belongings upside down In his endeavor to find something dutiable. Is not in a very pleasant frame of mind. What the poor, helpless foreign
er, who has never been here before, thinks of the stupid system it would not be well to inquire.- Indianapolis News.

They cannot be classed as patem nor secret medicines for they are neither being of known, composition. Dr. Pierre feels that he can afford to take the afflicted into his full confidence and lay all the ingredients of his medicines freely before them because these ingredients are such as are endorsed and most strongly praised by scores of the most eminent medical writers as cures for the diseases for which these medicines are recommended. Therefore, the afflicted do not have to rely alone upon Dr. Pierce's recommendation as to the
curative value of his medicines for cer
tain easily recognized diseases. A dance at the printed formula on
each bottle will show that no alcohol and no harmful or habit-forming drugs enter into Dr. Pierce's medicines, they being wholly compounded of glyceric extract?

Relief From Rheumatic Pains. "I suffered with rheumatism for over two years," says Mr. Holland Curry, a patrolman at Key West, Fla. "Sometimes it settled in my knees and lamed me so I could hardly walk, at other times it would be in my feet and
hands so I was incapacitated for duty.
One night whpn I was in severe pain and lame from it my wife went to the drug store here and came back with a bottle of Chamberlain's Pain Balm. I was rubbed with it and found the pain had nearly gone during the 'nigh:. I kept on using it for a little more than two weeks and found that it drove the rheumatism away. I have not had any trouble from that disease for over three months." For sale by A. G. Luken & Co.

With the exception of a few advanc
ed rates, which will go into effect May
13, all the higher freight rates arrang
ed some months ago are now in effect
on the Pennsylvania railroad. . It is
admitted by railroad men that practically all classes of freight rates have been advanced during the past two
months, which will mean millions of dollars in additional revenue to the railroads.
It is estimated that the revenue re
sulting from the advanced freight rates" is greater than the general in
crease m wages announced some months ago by the Pennsylvania. At
that time it was announced that
freight rates would be advanced to meet the additional expense, but the executive officials denied that freight rates would go up. Probably the
most important of the freight rates is the advance of five cents per ton on bituminous coal. It was first thought best by the officials to advance the coal rates to ten cents, but finally it was decided to announce a five cent increase nt the present time and a five
cent increase six months hence.
EARNINGS OF PENNSYLVANIA. The gross earnings for the entire Pennsylvania system for the month of March, were $13,224,804 an increase of $633,700 over the corresponding month last year. The net earnings were $3,211,519. The record is one of the best in several months.

NO EXCURSION RATES FOR MUSIC FESTIVAL Comes as Result of Two-Cent Rate Law.
PENNSYLVANIA'S ATTITUDE.
The announcement has been made at the local Pennsylvania station that no reduced rates under the regular two cent fare will be granted for the May music festival in this city. The
statement was made that the Pennsylvania is giving excursion rates every day in the year since th6 effectiveness of the new two-cent passenger rate law, and the road cannot afford to cut
under that rate, under present circumstances. The Pennsylvania will ad
here strictly to the two-cent ruling and
reduced rates will under no circumstances be granted except on popular Sunday excursions.
WEIGHING THE MAIL It Still Continues to Be Arduous Task.
NO STOP ORDER RECEIVED.
Weighing of mail at the local transfer station at the Pennsylvania depot still continues to be a most arduous task, as the mail transferred at this point is much heavier than when the weighing first started. Local weighers have not yet been apprised of the date on which the work will be stopped by the government, but it is highly probable no such order will be received until the . latter part of the
month.
