THE OPEN SWITCH.
AN ESTABLISHED SAFEGUARD


Anybody who travels by cars knows what
is meant by can open switch" 1t is the
terror of railroad men, and the dread Of the
traveller. Its victims-killed, horribly man
gled or manned for life-are numbered by
the score each year.
Yet even the dreaded "open switch is not
so widely fatal as is certain disease, which,
without ceasing its activity for an instant, is
daily filling hundreds of graves.
What is that terrible ailment? you ask.
It is Heart Diseased "But," you reply, con-
idently, 81 haven't any heart disesse-rny
heart is all right" Are you SURE?
DIR. Franklin Miles, of Elkhart, Ind, the
distinguished specialist in diseases of the
heart and nervous system, states that disor-
ders of the heart are as common as those of
the lungs, liver, stomach, bowels or kidneys,
though often unsupported. The reason peo-
pie are not aware of this important fact is
because symptoms of heart disease are not
usually recognized as proceeding from this
organ, but are attributed to some other
source. If you have shortness of breath,
futtering or palpitation, pain or tenderness
in left breast, shoulder or side, oppressed or
choking sensation, fainting or smothering
spells, your heart is affected.
81 had been troubled with heart disease
for years. My left pulse was very weak, could
at times scarcely feel it, excitement would
weaken my nerves and heart, and fear Of
impending death stared me in the face for
hours. Dr.. Miles, NerYine and New Heart
Cure are the only medicines that have proved
ofany benefit and cured mel. M. DYER,
Cloverdale Md.
"My wife has been taking DR.. Miles Neic
Cure for The Heart. She thinks itwonderful.
She has not been troubled with pain or
smothering spells since using it. We have
also used DT. Miles Pills and we find them
all they are claimed to be."-GEO. L. FINK,
Philadelphia, Pa
These and hundreds Of similar testimo-
mails are convincing proofs of the wonderful
powers of Dr. Miles New Cure for tie Heart.
1t is effective, agreeable, and above all, SAFE.

There is more Catarrh in this
section of the country than all other
diseases put together, and until
the last few years was supposed to
be incurable. For a great many
years doctors pronounced it local
disease, and prescribed local RENE
dies, and by constantly failing to
cure with local treatment, pronounc-
ed it incurable. Science has proved
catarrh to be constitutional disease
and, therefore, requires constitution
al treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure,
manufactured by F. J. Cheney &
Co., Toledo. Ohio, is the only con-
stitutional cure on the market. 1t
is taken internally in doses from 10
drops to a teaspoonful. 1t acts
directly on the blood and mucous
surfaces of the system. They offer
one hundred dollars for any case it
fails to cure. Send for circulars and
testimonials. Address,

PIONEER PAPER OF KOOTENAI 60
s. D. TAYLOR, Editor and Proprietor.
FOR OUR COMMISSIONERS TO CONSIDER.

FOR OUR COMMISSIONERS TO CONSIDER.
Have we board of commission
ers in Kootenai county that might
be styled penny wise and pound
foolish? The KooTENAI HERALD
intends to satisfy itself upon that
point at the next meeting of the
board of commissioners. We in
tend to ask them to furnish, free of
charge, to each newspaper in the
county, an official report of their
proceedings, that the said newspa-
pers may publish said report, or
synopsis thereof, for the benefit of
their readers. The HERALD would
publish said report as matter of
news if it could get it promptly and
without too much trouble and ex-
pense. If the commissioners can
afford to pay one newspaper in the
county tor publishing a report Of
their proceedings, they can certain
ly stand the additional expense of
furnishing copy for the balance.
We are led to comment on this
subject from the fact that to our
certain knowledge there is not
bakers dozen of the taxpayers in
all that portion of the county north
of the N. P. railway that has any
idea what transpired at the last
meeting of the board. The tarpay-
ers ought to know what their COM
missioners are doing. The county
commissioners ought to provide a
convenient and inexpensive method
of informing them.
We have before us copy of the
Ceur d. Alene Press, their official
organ, of May IS, containing a re-
port of their proceedings of April s,
or 40 days after the events transpir-
ed. This is not satisfactory. If
people send in a petition to the
board, they like to know what ac-
ton was taken in regard to it in
some season. While the Ceur d.
Alene Press is an admirable paper,
and we can recommend it to all of
our readers, yet we do not believe
that people living at great dis
lance from its place of publication
should be compelled to pay the
price of its subscription to get the
report of the commissioners pro-
ceedings when the commissioners
by small amount of courtesy
and less expense, can furn isl
said report to them free.
We believe the taxpayers would
unanimously approve of the commits
sioners expanding a little money
having for its object the prompt
dissemination of news relative tC
their proceedings.

The Vote.

At the end of discussion lasting two
hours Rev. DR.. Mackay Smith moved the
question.
A motion to lay Mr.. Packard's amend
ment on the table was carried by an al
most unanimous vote.
The vote then reverted to the original
resolution calling for division, and on a
rising vote so many got up that the bishop
said 1t would be better to let the other side
get up. Only five rose, Mr.. Albert, Mr..
CAN'T and three others.
Division was carried, and the vote was
made unanimous on Mr.. Gantt's motion.
DR.. McKim then introduced resolutions
which supplied the working details for put
ting into effect the action of the conVen-
ton. They were unanimously adopted, as
was also the following:
Resolved, That committee of three
clergymen and three laymen from the ter
ritory OF the proposed new diocese, and
the same number of clergymen and lay
men from the other part of the diocese, be
appointed to consider and report at the
earliest moment what proportion should
be adopted in the division of any gifts,
devises or bequests, to which the conven-
tion of the diocese of Maryland may have
become entitled by the terms of any will,
or codicil thereto Ghe testator being de-
ceased), between January l, 1894 and May

A Wonder Of Antiquity.

Ono of the greatest wonders of ancient
Egypt was the famous artificial body of
water called Lake Moeris. According to
Herodotus, "the measure of its circumfer-
ence was $500 furlongs, which is equal to
the entire length of Egypt along the sea
coast. The excavation, which was made
In the time of King Moeris (tho Mcmnon
of the Greeks and Romans), was of vary
ing depths, and its center was occupied bv
two pyramids, the apexes of which were
300 feet higher than the surface Of the wa
ter. The water for this gigantic artificial
reservoir was obtained from the Nile
through canal, which six months Of the
year had an inflow and the other six an
outflow, corresponding to high and low
water in the river. The canal gradually
filed with sand and the lake has long
since evaporated, but its bottom is still

Birch Oil.

A very large quantity of birch oil is
manufactured in the wilds of Connecticut.
and with u simplicity cqualing sugar max
ing in the Vermont forests. Birch twigs
are cut into even lengths of five inches
and thrown into water tight tanks having
copper bottoms. A coil of steam pipes is
arranged in the bottom, and three feet of
water poured in, the tops are Theoretically
sealed, steam turned on and the water
kept boiling for six hours. Into the side
of each boiling tank IA steam pipe is in.
serted and runs in the form of worm in
to n barrel of cold water and cold water
is flowing continually into this barrel
The steam rising from the boiling birch
twigs passes through this pipe and is con
densed in the worm, while the oil drops
from the end of the pipe into a small re
ceiving jar or pail The oil as it drips
down, being n dull brown, is carefully clar-
flied until of very light green, and, in
stead of chemical processes, Qualification is
accomplished by simply spreading heavy
wooden blanket over the wood inside the
tank. In proper kind of MILL however
the oil now drops out pure and ready for
market. One ton of birch yields four
pounds of oil, and the oil is worth SO or
more per pound.-New York Sun.
