early part of the Pier’s social
season. She had Deen ill for
several weeks and a fortnight
a’& her ailment was diagnosed
as malarial gastretis.
At times her condition be
came very serious, so that con
sultations of physicians were
deemed necessary, but frequent
rallies give renewed hops that
s ie would ultimately recover.
During the past week especi
a'ly was her condition was con
sidered favorable and it was
thought that her removal from
the hotel would be possible in a
few days, as the hotel had closed
for the season, leaving the pa
tient and attendants practically
alone in the house.
Saturday night, however, a
relapse in Miss Davis’s condition
was noticed and throughout the
night she lost strength percept
ibly.
Yesterday morning the phy
sician said that the end was not
far off, and at noon death came
to end the suffering, which at
times had deen intense. Mr*
Davis nad watched unremitting
ly at her daughter’s bedside and
she is now bowed with sorrow.
Mrs. Davis is holding up with
great calmness in her affliction
and no fears are at present en
tertained of her health yeilding
to the strain.

THE ROME HUSTLER-COMM ERCAIL
THE SOUTHERN
Railway Will Cintol The
St. LoUis Air Line
HOW DEAL ORIGINATED
Great Corporation Ex-tending
Its Territory.
Louisville. Ky., Sept 19—It was
told in financial circles to-day
that the Southern Railway Cona
puiiy had secured control of the
Louisville,Evansville and St Louis
Air Line, and that a formal au
neuncement to this effect would
soon be made.
No iiitormatiou could he had at
the local offices of either road, but
the information was traced to a
banker, who had onlv a few days
ago closed an important d«al by
which the southern increases its
h ild on the Kentucky and India
na bridge, by which the Air hue
enters Louisville,
The bridge is owned by the
Southern Railway, the Monon
route, and the Baltimore and Ohio
Southwestern, each holding one
third the stock The bridge is also
used by the Air Line. Recently a
large batch of the bonds accumul
ated 1 y the American National
Bank were sold to the Southern,
and it is now said the Southern
has secured control of th*- bridge,
with its connections bolding mi
nority.
It is not bdlitved that control of
the Air line has been acquired by
the Southern at this time, though
the Evening Post, on seemingly
good authority, asserts editorially
that it is the purpose of the South
ern soon to assume control, The
entrance of the Southern to St.
Louis would open sharp competi
tion to the South and Southest
against Louisville and Nashville
and the Illinois Central, already
strong rivals at the Louitvillo gate
way.
WATCHING FOR THE BODY.
Hundreds of Men at Niagara
.Anxious For $ 1 ,000 Reward.
Niagara Falls, Sept. 19. —This
city has been very much dazed
today by the offer of SI,OOO
reward for the recovery of the
body of the late Peter Schemm.
The steamer Maid of the Mist
will make unusual trips, men
will take their meals and go to
whirlpool on the Canadian side,
and if the body appears there it
will not make many revolutions
of the great river pocket lefore
it is caught.
Every conductor and motor
man on the Gorge road will in
f ncy add the SIOOO to his daily
salary, and men will go out on
the river at Lewiston ostensibly
to fish, but in reality to watch
for the dead.

There is no need of “examinations ” and
“local applications.” Sound professional
advice may be obtained free of charge, by
writing to Dr. R. V. Pierce, chief consulting
physician to the Invalids’ Hotel and Surg
ical Institute, of Buffalo, N. Y., whose
thirty years’ occupancy of this position
has made him recognized among the most
eminent of living specialists in the treat
ment of woman’s diseases.
Every case submitted to him by mail re
ceives careful consideration. Efficient and
inexpensive home-treatment is prescribed
whereby delicate, feminine complaints may
be promptly alleviated and cured. Dr.
Pierce’s Favorite Prescription is the only
proprietary medicine in the world designed
for this special purpose by a regular physi
cian—an educated, exoenencea expert.
Miss Cora 1,. Russel, of Leemout. Accomac Co.,
Va in a letter to Dr. Pierce, savs: ” From April,
uutil the following October. I suffered se
verely from painful menstruation. For about
twelve hours before the appearance of the menses
1 would feel giddy, have a severe headache, pain
in my back, in fact \ felt as if every bone in my
body was breaking. ” Nothing did me any good
I wrote' to Dr. Pierce and he recommended his
* Favorite Prescription,’ and after using three
bottles of it I am glad to say I am cured.”
