Tbe story told by storey of victims ol
tlie grip is snbstantially tile saine. One
was' tortured by terrible pains at the
base of tl a skull; another was left tired,
faint and in every way wretclipd from
auaemia or scantiness ofblood; another
had hortible headaches, wasliervons and
couldn't sleep; another ,wus left, with
weak lungs, d^ffioulty in breathiug and
acute neuralgia. In every case relief
was Sought in vain until tho great blood-
builder and nerve-tonic, Dr. Williams'
Piuli PiTlsT was used. "For quickness and

Mrs. Van Scov makes a statement thai
supports this claim. .Sho says :
"I had a severe attack of grip and, be-
fore I had fully recovered, rheumatism
set iu and tormented me for three
months. I was in a badly run-down
state, boon after it began I was so lame
for i\ week that X conld hardly walk. It
kept growing steadily worse aud at last
I bad to give up completely aud for
tlu-eo weeks I wii.3 obliged to keep my
bed. My knees were so stiff I couldn't
bond them, and my hands were perfectly
helpless. Then tho pains began to
TnVBBTBH my heart and thoroughly
alarmed me.
". vyiiflo I was suffering In this way I
1 olmnCeiJ to run across a little book that
told about the merits of Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills. The statements in it im-
pressed me aud tydme to buy abox. These
piils proved the very thing I needed.
Ini provement set in as sOon as I began
to take thuin, and it wasvery marked by
tho time I had finished the first box.
Four boxes made iny a well woman."
Mrs. Laura M. Vap Scoydivea at No.
20 Thorpe .street, Daubtiry, Conn. Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills ara equally well
adapted far any other of the diseases that
follow in the train ot grip, The/ arc

olir comrade lis whole s ail waa- tilled
with the f-Mii,<l conception. Without
, res£ or weariness his every energy
wafc if?\'oted lo the accomfllshrhent of
the grand desire. With a patriotic
inspiration he saw clearly the (treat
goal to be attained. He felt, that he
was erecting an altar upon Vhicb the
fire of lovo for the whole Vuiou would
burn, and burn forever, He saw with
prophetic vision the Star Spangled
Banner of the nation not a confeder-

aud with fancy's ear he beard the

it to shie-ld and defend It from every

"My friends, how well he read the

to the grave when he was'finally mus-
tered out. The ritual .appealed so
strongly to them that to-day, forty
ye&rs after the war', the" Wan# Artqf
of the Republic is-many thousands
strong. -j
. It,has Jiorne upon its rolls more than
300,000 ex-Union soldiers. It has ex-
pended thousands of dollars in charity
for its-members and their families. To
the Grand Army of the .Republic mdre
than to any other order do the iml'^fi-

will mark his last resting place, and
Chat It will never be reared in a pot-
ter's field, and that each recurring
30th of May flowers will be strewn
above the low green mounds where
sleep the loyal dead.
It Is a curious fact that the genius
who was the author of so magnificent
an organization should have been'in
his last days one of the very un-
fortunates for whom he was so solic-
itous in his halcyon dap.
Overtaken by misfortunes and an
Ill-starred fate, Dr. Stephenson, after
years of discouragement, died arid was
buried at Rock Creek, Menard county,
111., Aug. 30, 1871, thou.rh scarcely at
the zbnlth Of his manhood. Aug. 29,
1882, Estill Post 71, G, A. It.. Depart-
ment of Illinois, removed Dr. Stephen-
son's remains to Petersburg, 111., and
relnterred them among the soldiers of
Roie Hill' cemetery tvitb Impressive
ceremonies, thus rescuing him from
the oblivion of an unmarked grave.
Judge James A. Matheriy, bf Spring-

grave, alluded to Dr. Stephensop's pu-

RAILROADS AND PROGRESS.
In his testlihohy before the senate
committee on, interstate commerce at
Washington on May J, Prof. Hugo R.
Meyer of the Chicago university, an
expert On railf-ofid management, made
this, statement:.
"Lqt, us, look atv what [flight have
happened if we had heeded Che pro
tests (if the farthers-of New Yotrk and
Ohio pud iPepusylvtvnja .(in (fie 70's.
wj}eu grain from the west began pour-
ing to uie Atlantic seaboard) and
noted'^dn the'doelHtie which'the in-
terstate commerce commission has
oQ|inciats>d t.ime and again, Uiat no
than niay' be 'deprived * of the ad-
vantages accruing' to him by virtue
of bis geographical position. \\'^ could
not Imo west of (he Mississippi a
population of millions of'people who
are prospv>roua and are. great con-
sumers. We never should have seen
the years when wo built 10,000 and
12,006 ihftes of railway, for there
would have been no farmers west ot
tho, Mississippi river who could have
used the land that would have been
droned up by the building of those
railways. And tf we had not seen the
years, wh.on.wu could.build lp.opo and
12,000 miles, of railway a ye.ar, we
should wit have to <lav east* "of the
Misjl&sinpi a stpel - and iron-produc-
ing center, which is. (it once the mar-
vel at|d the despair of -Europe, because
WO could-fl'ot'havc biiilf uf a fteel and
iron inijustry If (hero had :been no
market Xpr Its. product..
Wo could not have in New England
a great boot and sho6 industry; we
cottW not. hove in New Kngjand a
gr.tylt. cpttpn ffiUHng industry; we
opiild not have Sprehfl throughout New
Yofk and Pennsylvania a'rtd Ohio man-
^faclttring Industries of the most di-
versified kinds, because ,those indus-
tries Would' have no market- among
•the farmers west 'of the Mississippi
And while the progress of this
' eouiiffy,' 'while the:' development of
the agricultural;went'of this oountry,
/lid nitan- t.lie injpalranont of the ag-
ricultural value east (if the Mississippi
'tiv'cr,* that, ran itp' iMo bhndffeds of
millions-of dollars, Itr meant ilicident-
. ally, the building up pf. great, manu-
facturing industries 'that' added" to the
value of this tami- by IKoustttids of
'millions oft dolhrrij. And, gentlemen,
those things were npt foreseen in the
•*0'S., The statesmen and th:e public
men of -this ortilhtry flid not sec what
part the agricultural development of
the wegt was going to play in. the in-
dustrial development of (he east. And
you may read thb decisions-of the
Ifityrstate coiunierce..commlKsi/in from
the. first to the last, and what is one
fif the greatest characteristics '6f those
decisions? The continued inability to
s-ee the question in this large way
The interstate commerce' commis-
fion' never ran see -anything more
than that the farm land of some farm-
er is decreasing in value, or that some
man wtio has a floiir mill with a pro
ductlon of fifty- bartels a day' Is be-
ing crowded out. it never can see
that the destruction or impairment of
farm values in this place means the
building up of farm valdeg m that
place, find that that shifting of values
is a necessary, incident tQ the indus-
trial and manufacturing developmant ot
this country. And if we shall give
to the Interstate commerce -commis-
siot) p.ovtrcr to.-regulate rates, we shall
no longer have our rates regula(ed
on (h6 s(a(esmanlike basiB on which
they have, been regulated in the past
by the railway men, w(io really have
been great statesmeft, who really have
been great builders of empires, who
have had an imagination that, rivals
the imagination, of the greatest poet
and of the greater inventor,' arid who
have operated wilh ti courage and dar-
ing that rivals the courage and dar
in£ of the greatest military general
Rut we shall have our rates regulated
by h body of civil servants, bureau
crats,. whose besetting sin the world
over is that they never can grasp a
situation in a large way and with the
grasp of the statesman; (hat they
never can see the tact that ..tbey are
confronted with a small, evjR that
th^t evil is relatively' small, arid that
it cannot be correcla'd >*tept'by the
creation of evils aud abut-es which
are .Infinitely grater, tt^ai^ the ona
that !a to be corrected."
