A Good Name

At home is tower of strength abroad-says the
familiar proyerb, and it is fully verified by the
history of Hoods Sarsaparilla. The first words
of commentator and praise for this medicine
were received from our friends and neghbors, and
from the time it was fairly introduced up to the
present. there has been, and is now, more of
Hoods Sarsapara sold in Lowell, Mass, where
it is made, than of all other sarsaparlas and blood
purifiers combined This good Nance among
people who have known Hoods Sarsaparilla and
its proprietors for years should certainly be strong
evidence to people in other cities and towns Of
the excellence and merit of their medicine.
"After the failure of three skllful physicians to
cure my boy of salt rheum, tried Hoods Sarsa-
parilla and Olive Ointment. have nowused four
boxes of Ointment, and one and half bottles of
Sarsaparilla and the boy is to all appearances
completely cured. He is now four years old and
has been afflicted since he was six months of age"

Facts and Figures.
Total cost to city.


For this investment the city claims to
own stock in the reorganized corporation of
the par value of So, $4,000.
In the2 years of its existence the p. & o.
K. r. has never repaid in money, one dollar
for all this outlay and the only advantage to
Portland has come from such increased bus
mess as the road has brought to the city and
the advantage, If any, in the value of proper
ty within city limits occasioned by its build
ing and operation.
The railroad has earned annually for the
last six years, an average of S350,000 gross.
Its operating expenses have averaged $780,
900. Its net earnings have averaged $4,000
The fixed interest charges have averaged
65,0OO. and there has been nominal surplus
of 10000 to be applied to Improvement of
property.
From these figures it will be easy to esti-
mate what probability there is that the city
will ever receive one dollar from the road
under its present management.
A responsible corporation now proposes to
lease the road on such terms that the city
will receive for the next two years S24S40
annually, and thereafter $3.50 annually.
With these figures in view, it is difficult to
understand why there should be any hest
fancy in accepting the terms of the proposed
lease, or why there should be too captious
criticisms upon the wording of some of its
clauSpS.

The work of packing sardines in the fac
tories about Eastport has been ialmost en-
tirely suspended for the past two weeks, and
the same may be said of all the factories
along shore. The goods are low in the
western markets, and it is thought better to
suspend packing operations for a time, as
sardine herring are somewhat scarce.

The effect Of the rise in -four and
bread is said to be simply terrible in
the lower quarters in New York city
There has been a rapid increase in the
use of darker breads made by Rus
SLAMS and Hungarians; but this has
also gone up, of necessity, in price.
Stale bread, which used to be given
away, has Of late years been sold at
from one to two and a half cents.
Much of this is full of mGggots, mold
and filth; but it is bought and eaten
Indeed, there are ninety dealers IN
stale bread on three blocks Of the
Sixth ward. But stale bread has al
so gone up in price. The result IS
something quite approaching mobs
Worse yet is the gradual creation Of
a mob element, ready for bread riots
such as have characterized European
capitals. Our social fabric is con
stantly in danger between anarchy on
one side and mOnopolies on the other.
They exist as cause and consequence.

Smith Center Poker Players.

The little poker game Saturday
night helped our city finances consid-
erably. The following is a fair state
ment of the financial result: There
were nine players captured; eight of
this number plead guilty; six were
fined $500 each and two $500 each.
One of the officers making the arrest
was then hauled In and assessed $500
and trimmings. In order to convict
him one of the other party had to
plead guilty to having played with
him on a former occasion; for this he
was fined $500 and trimmings. One
Of the party took revenge on the
special officer and detective by strik-
ing him several times and for this he
was charged $1,000 and costs. The
owner of the building pleaded guilty
to keeping a gaming house, and paid
$4,000 and usual trimmings, making
a total Of $4,000 with one player yet
to hear from. This is a very good
haul and repetition of this every
few days will tend to Tighten taxes a

A special correspondent of the st.
Joe, Mo, Herald says of the @. K. &
n. excursion to Denver: ''The Chi
cago, Kansas & Nebraska (Rock Is
land Route) is fast becoming the
Kansas favOrite, as was evinced to-
day when four splendid excursion
trains to Denver and return pulled
out of this city loaded to their full
capacity. At the general passenger
department it was learned that the
management anticipated that they
will carry 1900 excursion1sts into
Denver Those gorgeous vestibule
trains are what captured the travel
ing public, and, by the way, those yes
thule trains are a great protection
in case Of accident, as the cars are
not near so apt to telescope in case Of
a collision.
Speaking of the collision on the
Denver & Rio Grande yesterday
morning a Rock Island Official said
to the HERALD's correspondent to-day,
that had it not been for their train
being Of the vestibuIe character the
damage would have been very great.
As it was the cars remained on the
track and about the only damage
done was to the engine and baggage
car, the passengers escaping without
injury.

President Perkins, Of the O., B. &
O., and Vice President Stone have
been looking over the country for the
past ten days. In their ramble they
have let enough conversation drop to
warrant the assertion that the Ober-
lin branch will be extended up the
Sappa to Achilles and from there
across the country to Ludell early in
the spring. 1t is also CLEANED by
their words that the Beaver line will
soon be completed to Pueblo. And
when this is done the Oberlin branch
will be extended west from Achilles
to a connection with the Beaver val
ley and Pueblo line somewhere in
Colorado. The branch from Achilles
will eventually be extended from Lu-
dell north to connect with the road
up the Frenchman near Culbertson
on the main line. When all these
projects are finished the B. & NJ will
have the most complete network of
lines anywhere in western Kansas

printing press has made presidents,
killed poets, furnished bustles for
beauty, and polished genius Of criti-
cism. It has made the world get up
to roll-call every morning, and has
given the pulpit lungs of iron and a
voice of steam. It has set the price
on a bushel Of wheat and made the
country postofice the glimmering
goal of the rural scribe. It has cur
tailed the power Of kings, embeIshed
the pantry shelves and bursted rings
It has exposed fraud and brought
criminals to justice. It has furnished
the whole female race with dress pat
erns. 1t has converted bankers into
paupers and made woOd-sawers of
college presidents. It has educated
the homeless boy and robbed the
philosopher of his reason. 1t smiles

suit everybody; and the editor who
tries it will not live long"
