have the testimony of men of the highest

that after suffering indescribable pains for
years, from which they sought relief in
vain by visiting the Hot and Warm
Springs of Arkansas ard Virginia, and by
using dozens of remedies more or less high.
ly praised, when, in fact. hope had almost
died out, they have found relief from pain
by the use of the ANNIHILATOR, and by
continuing it for short time. have been
perfectly cured. The ANNlH1LATOR is
a preparation purely vegetable, agreeable
to the taste. and may be taken without
fear of any injurious results by the deli

Good Advice.

Now is the time of year for pneumo.
MIA. lung fever, etc. Every family
should have bottle of Boshee German
Syrup. Don't allow for one moment
that cough to take hold of your child,
your family oryourseif. Consumption,
asthma. pneumonia. Group, hemor-
rhages, and other fatal diseases may
set in. Although it is true German
Syrup is curing thousands of these
dreaded diseases. yet it is much better
to have it at hand when three doses
will cure you. Que bottle will last
your whole family Writer and keep you
safe from danger. If you are con-
samptive, do not rest until you have
cried this remedy. Sample bottles III

The Grand Jury of Washoe county
in their report, heretofore referred to in
the SILVER SrATE. fnd that Humboldt
has good cause for refusieg to allow
the exorbitant claims presented BY
Washoe in the Rover case. Tbev
believe that many of the papers ought
to have been served by the officers of
Humboldt Instead of Washoe. thus pre.
venting heavy expense. They also
refer TO the amount allowed Ii. B. Max.
son for surveying at the scene of the
Sharp murder. as being extrayagant.
and cite the fact that 1925 was allowed
counsel for defending Rover. They
present strong arguments against
Washoe in the case now pending be-
tween that county and this; which
must be weighed by the Court in de.
termining whether Washoe had a RIGHT
to allow what it pleased to lawyers. Off
GERS and witnesses, and compel Hmm.
boldt to foot the bills. If there was
any doubt of the justice of Humboldt's
refusal to pay those exorbitant charges.
the report of the Grand Jury of Washoe
has dispelled them.

The Lumberman's Circular estimates
the number of railroad ties in present
use in the United States at $50, DOC, 900.
A cut of 200 ties to the acre is above
rather than under the average. aud it
therefore has required the product of
750. 900 acres of well timbered land to
furnish Eeasupply. Rhilroatrties last
about five years; consequently O,0OO,-
900 ties are used annually for repairs,
taking the timber from 1900 acres.
The manufacture OF rolling stock dis
poses of the entire yield of 800 900
acres. and foil supply OF near 100000
acres more. every year. 1t appears.
then, that our railroads are stripping
the country at the rate Of 4 900. O9o
acres per annum; aud their demands
are rapidly increasing!

Spiritual Power Needed.

The Holy Spirit is able to make the
Word as successful now as in the days
of the Apostles. He can bring in by
hundreds and thousands as easily as by
ones and tWos. The reason why we
are not more prosperous is, that we
have not the Holy Spirit with US in
might and power as in early times. If
we had the Spirit sealing our ministry
with power, it would signify very little
about our talent. Men might be poor
and uneducated; their words might be
broken and ungrammatical; there might
be none Of the polished periods of Hall.
or glorious thunders of Chalmers; but if
the might of the Spirit attended them,
the humblest evangelist would be more
successful than the most eloquent of
preachers. Itis extraordinary grace, not
talent, that wins the day. 1t Is extraOr-
dinsry spiritual powers that We need.
Oh we know some before whom we
shrink into nothing as 20 talent, but who
have no spiritual power, and when they
speak they have not the Holy Spirit with
them; but we know others, simple-hear-
ted men, who speak their country dia-
lect, and who stand up topreach in their
country place, and the Spirit of God
clothes every word with power. Hearts
are broken, souls are saved, and sinners
are born again. o. Spirit of the living
God, we want Theel Thou art the life,
the soul, the source of Thy peoples sue
cess. Without Thee they can do moth
ing; with Thee they can do everything.

"WHEY THE TIDE GOES QUITE

"WHEN THE TIDE GOES OUT"
Through the weary day on her couch she lay,
With the life-tide ebbing slowly away,
And the dew on her cold brow gathering fast,
While the pendulun numbered moments passed. p
And heard low voice whispering, say:
'W When the tide goes out she viii pass away.
Pray for souI's serene release,
That weary soul may rest in peace li
When the tide goes OUT
When the tide goes out from the sea-girt land,
1t bears strange freight from the cleaning sand.
The white-winged ships that silent wait :
For favoring wave and wind that's late,
The treasures cast on rocky shore
From the stranded ships that shall Saline more.
And hopes that follow the shining seas
Ohl the ocean wide shall win all these
when the tide goes out"
But, of al that drift from the shore to the sea,
Is the human soul to eternity -zte-r.---=
saddest, most solemn of ala soul
Passing where unknown waters roll,
Floating away from the silent shore,
Like = fated ship to return no more
Where shall the surging current tend,
Slowly dividing friend from friend,
"When the tide goes out ?"
For one parting spirit pray, oh pray,
While the tide of life is ebbing away,
That the soul may pass over summer seas
That clasped of ola the Hesperides,
In barque whose sails, by angel hands,
Shall be furled strand of golden sands;
And the friends that stand silent shore,
Knowing that we shall return no more,
Shall wish us joy of voyage fair.
With calm sweet skies and faYoring air,
''When the tide goes out" A e..
