.If the Russian railroad across Siberia
 ilt on the plans projected, it will 10 as much to transform Central Asia in |the early part of the next century as the Pacific railroads have done to develop the great West and Northwest in this country. The chief object of the new railroad is to capture the overland traffic that now comes from China and Russia by caravan and to enable Russia to extend her dominions, as we'll as to de- velop the rich provinces of Southern Si- beria. Even the slow-moving Russian has been struck with the necessity of railroads to develop outlying provinces, and the rapid conquest of Turkestan, which has followed the building of the road from Caspian to Askabad, has shown the power of quick transportation asef troops.

The Songs My Mother Sung.

l hear the songs they sing today, But never one as sweet As those my mother sang to me When sitting at her feet. My thoughts go back to childhood years, When hope and were young, And as of old hear today,
 The songs my mother sung. At twilight's hour often dream lam a child once more; I seek the house where was born, pass the open door. There mother rocks beside the hearth, Her little ones among, And life forgets it's cares to hear
 The song my mother sung. o, long the grass has grown above That loving mothers face, But still in faithful hearts she keeps Her old, her dear old place. No other songs can be so sweet
 As those we heard when young, When sitting at our mothers knee- The songs our mother sung.

Humanity.

There is a soul above the soul of each A mightier soul, which yet to each belongs. There is a sound made of all human speech, And numerous as the concourse of all songs And in that soul lives each, in each that soul, Though all the ages are its lifetime vast, Each soul that dies, in its most sacred whole Receiveth life that shall forever last. And thus forever with a wider span
 Humanity o'erarches time and death; Man can elect the universal man,
 And live in life that ends not with his
 breath
 And gather glory that increases still Till Time his glass with Deaths last dust
 shall fill.

THE BEAVER COURT HOUSE.
A Correspondent Interviews Judge Anderson
and Attorney Zane on its Removal.

The effort being made to remove the
Beaver county court from its present loca-
ton at Beaver to Milford has been the sub
iect of much comment among citizens Of
that county during the past few weeks.
Reaidents of Beaver city are almost unani-
MUS in the opinion that, in view of a
handsome new court house Just having
been built in that city at a considerable
cost, it would hardly be proper to make
a change so soon, and then again they
complain that 1t would work a great hard
strip to the residents of that part of the
country which is more densely populated,
TO go to Milford, where scarcely no one
resides, to attend court. A HERALD cor
respondent called on Judge Anderson and
District Attorney j. M. Zane, at Beaver,
and interviewed them on the situation.
"What do you think of the court house?n
asked the correspondent.
''Well, l think that is the finest court
house in Utah and Beaver deserves great
credit for its erection. The accommoda-
lions are ample and the decorations first
class"
"What do you think of removing the
court to Milford; do you not think it would
be an injustice to the peopleH'
"If we only had some automatic tube
through which we could be shot up from
Milford without being all day about it, it
would be much better.
When District Attorney Zane was
approached by the correspondent and
asked what he thought of the court house.
he replied: 81 think that it is the finest
court house I have seen for some time and
was more than surprised to find snch a
place, and above all l am much pleased
with these magnificent vaults, the splendid
painting and the comfortable jury rooms.
Everything is so neat and convenient that
it could scarcely be improved"
swell, what do you think about moving
court to MilfOrd." asked the correspon-
dent.
''If we only had some better way of get
ting from Milford to Beaver, we should
feel better satisfied to keep it in Beaver"
The court house in question has just been
built; the county court have accepted and
paid for it and the building is to be re-
insured at once.

Clute and J. r. Morris, city registrars, an
application for postponement of hearing
was fled by the respondents, but action on
the application was deferred by the court
until this morning, when time for hear
ing will be fixed. The reason assigned for
desiring postponement of the trial on the
part OF the registrars was that they We're

Justice Piper disposed of the following

for trespass. They had been spending the
night in a box car contrary to rule.

Foam saloon the other night, occupied a
good deal of the judges time in the after
noon; nine witnesses were examined, and
the result was that Griffith was bound
over to await the action of the grand jury
Bail was fixed at $500, which could not be
given; the young man said that if he were
home in Missouri he could get bondsmen
all right.

We want mothers to know that Group
can be prevented. There is no question
about this, as it has been done in thousands
of cases, and you may depend upon it that
when child takes the Group, it is wholly
owing to the negligence Of it's parents.
True Group never appears without due and
timely warning; a few hours, or a day or
two before the attack, the child becomes
hoarse. This hoarseness is the first indica
ton of Group, and is sure sign that Group
is to follow, unless promptly and properly
treated. The free use of Chamberlain
Cough Remedy as directed with each
bottle, under the heading, "To prevent

disease. For sale by the Z. c. M. 1. Drug
