The worn-out stomach of the over-fed millionaire is often paraded in the pub­ lic print as a horrible example of the evils attendant on the possession of great wealth. But millionaires are not the only ones who are afflicted with bad stomachs. The proportion is far great­ er among the toilers. Dyspepsia and indigestion are rampant among these people, and they suffer far worse tort­ ures than the millionaire nnless they avail themselves of a standard medicine like Green's August Flower, which has been a favorite household remedy for all stomach troubles for over thirty-five years. August Flower rouses the tor­ pid liver, thus creating appetite and in­ suring perfect digestion. It tones and vitalizes the entire system and makes life worth living, no matter what your Btation.

Austin, Mgr. of the "Republican,"of Leavenworth, Ind., was not unreason­ able when he refused to allow the doc­ tors to operate on his wife for female trouble. "Instead," he says, "we con­ cluded to try Electric Bitters. My wife was then so sick she could hardly leave her bed, and five (5) physicians had failed to relieve her. After taking Elec­ tric Bitters she was perfectly cured and can now perform all her household du­ ties." Guaranteed by N. H. Petesch, Julia A. Story, McHenry, G. W. Besley, W.

Ladies or gentlemen wishing any dyeing done, please call Saturda: Illinois Central and the State. Whether the opinion of the Attorney General--that the Illinois Central Rail-1 road company owes the state many mil­ lions back taxes--is worth the paper it is written on, or will resnlt in a transfer of a large part of the railroad's surplus to the state exchequer, is a dnbions qnes- tion which may safely be left to the de­ cision of the courts. But that the char­ ter under which the railroad was built and has grown to be the prosperous in­ stitution it has proved--a profitable in­ vestment for the people of Illinois and for the railroad company--does not ad­ mit of any question. Under that char­ ter since 1855 the Illinois Central, has paid in to the state treasury $22,780,529. Beginning with $29,751 in 1855 the pay­ ments rose rapidly to $496,489 in 1865 from which time they gradually shrank, with 'the decline in the road's earnings, to $816,357 in 1877. Then the tide turned until in 1904 the railroad contributed $1,062,571 under its charter and $236,454 in other taxes, to the state treasury, making $1,299,025 in all. As the local i«xe8 paid in Illinois by all the railroads amounting to $4,945,988, it appears that the Illinois Central paid 26 per cent of the whole, while its mileage in the state (2,020 miles) was less than 18 per cent of the aggreate mileage of the state. How good a bargain the charter was for the Btate is shown bj the fact that while all the railways of the United States paid 8.12 per cent Of their gross earnings in taxes Illinois receives 7 per cent of the gross earnings of the Illinois Central for its business under that, charter. As 8.13 per cent on gross earn­ ings is a higher rate than iB paid by the average business concern, it is evident that the shrewd lawmakers of 1851 builded well, if not better than they knew. We, their successors, haye prof­ ited by their foresight. That its contri­ butions to the state have not crippled the railroad is proved by the figures submitted by President Fish to its stock­ holders last Wednesday: Between 1876 and 1905 the miles of road operated for the whole line increased from 1,107 to 4,878, or nearly four times. The gross earnings of the whole line increased from $7,040,969 to $49,508,649, or seven times, and the expenses of operation, including taxes, rose from $4,270,205 to $85,111,706, or over eight fold. In view of the present hue and cry against all railroads, it is a significant fact that, while the per cent of gross receipts paid to emp'oyes advanced from 86.19 in 1876 to 42.22 in 1905, the percentage of inter est, rent and sinking fund to the same receipts fell from 17.05 to 14.10, while the percentage of dividends actually paid to gross receipts fell from 82 95 to 18.44. These figures means that labor's share in the gross earnings of American railroads is increasing, while capital has to be content with decreased returns on its investment. The average yearly wages on the Illinois Central in 1876 were $557; in 1905 they were President Fish's statement also showed that the number of passengers carried one mile had increased 11 fold and the ton mileage 21 times. In other words, the combined units of passenger and freight service had riseu from 815 mill­ ions to 6,142 millions, or nearly twenty times. As the gross revenue from car­ rying these units increased only 7 times it is apparent that the rate must have declined on an averege almost 60 per cent. In brief the Illinois Central is now receiving only a little more than one-third the rates it did thirty years ago. No government-made rates in any place in the world have shown reduc­ tions approaching these. Sells More of Chamberlain's Cough Rem­ edy than of all Others Pat Together.
