THE OPEN SWITCH.
AN ESTABLIsHED SAFEG YARD.

Anybody who travels by cars knows what
is meant by "an 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
Yeteve the dreaded "open switch is not
so widely fatal as is a certain disease, which,
without ceasing its activity for an instant, is
daily filling hundreds of graves.
What is that terrible ailment? you ask.
1t is Heart Diseased But" you reply, con-
fdently, 81 haven't any heart disease-my
heart is all right" Are you SURE?
Dr. 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 lett pulse was very weak, couIu
at times scarcely feel it, excitement would
weaken my nerves and heart, and fear of
impending death stared me in the face for
hours. Or. Miles Neryine and New Heart
Cure are the only medicines that have proved
of any benefit and cured mel. M. DYER,
Cloverdale Md.
"My wife has been taking DR.. Miles Netc
Cure for the Heart. She thinks itwonderful.
She has not been troubled with pain or
smothering spells since using it. We have
also used Dr. 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 NcU Cure for he Heart

S. D. TAYLOR, Editor and Proprietor,

SILVER has been climbing up a
peg every day for nearly week
past, and everyone in the Kootenai
valley feels better, whether he owns
an interest in a mine or not.
When silver gets back to the 100
mark, we will have the most pro-
sperious country on the globe.
There will be plenty of work and
So and $4 a day will be the ruling
wages. The ranchers can sell all
their produce at high prices and
store keepers and other business
men will have plenty of customers
with plethoric purses, while the
mine owner will again be bonanza
king. There will no substantial
prosperity in this country until
silver goes up and the mines are
again open. The outlook for re-
turn of prosperity has materially
frightened in the past few weeks
If the bi-metallists just keep uI
their lick-and vote as they
pray whenever occasion permits
the county will soon be alright
