PASSING OF THE TOWN OF PULLMAN
The dream of
Ueorge M. Pullman's
life has been shattered. The fenced-
in, model town
western shore of
of Pullman, on the
Lake Calumet, near
Chicago, is to become a free communi-
ty. The anomaly of a city within a
city is at an end.
The Pullman Palace Car Company
has accepted the decision of the Su-
preme Court of Illinois and instructed
of the Cook county Circuit Court and
ask that the decree be entered, which
will divorce the great corporation from
everything save Hie business for which
it was incorporated.
Last Saturday was the final day in
which a peti“on for a rehearing could
have been filed.
Thus will end as a feudal institution
the town of Pullman. Its churches
over to the authorities of the city of
Chicago, and the water works also will
pass into the control of the city.
Pullman will cease to be a hedged-in
municipality. Its property will 'no
longer figure on the assessor’s books
as "350 acres with the improvements
thereto."

Locomotor AuxiiS Paralysis ®
Can be Cured. f
These extreme nervous disorders were
tTe&ted with wonderful success by the dis-
coverer of Dr. Willi&ms Pink Pills for P&le
People, previous to his discovery . beind otter-
ed to the public generally. This remeoy is
the only known specific in many diseases
that, until recent years, were pronounced in-
curable. Ttere is tne proof;
James Crocket, a sturdy old Scotchman living in Detroit, Mick, at 88
Montcalm St., was cured of Locomotor Ataxia by these pills. For many
years he has been a chief engineer of one of those big passenger palace
steamers plying upon the great lakes. This is a position of great ttspon-
sibility and the anxiety causes a great nervous strain. Mr. Crocket says:
‘‘For fifteen years I watched the big epgines and boilers without a [single
accident, and only noticed that I was getting nervous. Suddenly without
warning I was taken sick, and was prostrated. I had the best of physi-
cians but grew gradually worse. At a council of doctors, they said I had
nervous prostration, and had destroyed my whole nervous systetn and
would never recover. For three years I was una:»le to move from bed.
The doctor said I had locomotor ataxia, and would never be able tq walk
again. • ,L
“Thd pains and suffering I experienced during those years are-si most
indescribable. The friends that came to see me bid'me good-bye when
they left me and I was given up. The doctors said nothing more could be
done. My wife kept reading to me, articles about Dr. Williams’P’.nk 1’ Is
for Pale People. We finally decided-to try them. The first box gave rae
relief. I continued to use them for about two years before I could get
strength enough to walk. I am nearly seventy-five years old and there is
not a man in this city that can kick higher or walk further than, lota
and to-day I owe my present good health to Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for
Pale People for they saved my life.”—Detroit Evening News.
