health sometimes wonder at this graft

prostration of the nerves. of which in
somnia is one of the symptoms, will
understand how hard it is to overstate

This is the state of mind of thou

Mrs. Sample tells of the happy result
in the case of her grandchild. One OF
the most conspicuous instances of the
remarkable power of Paine's celery
compound over debility is shown in
the relief it has afforded children. OF
course the dose is adapted to the age
of the little patient. The compound

SAN FRANCISCO. March 13-CaIifor-
mans read the report of the testimony
given by c. P. Huntington yesterday be
fore the house committee on Pacific
railroads with mingled feelings of amuse-
ment and Indignation In discussing the
public feeling in California with regard
to the Central Pacific funding scheme.
Mr. Huntington is said to have remarked
that there were perhaps 100 people in the
state who are opposed to the project
How near Mr.. Huntington'S estimate is
to the truth may be judged from the
following statement made by Mayor Su-
tro
"Of the 100000 persons in California. it
may safely be said that 100000 are Vp-
posed TO the funding bill. The 100000 who
favor the scheme are bankers who hold
the bonds of the company and people
who are otherwise under the control OF
the company. 1t is outrageous that Hun
tlngton should have the effrontery to tell
such barefaced falsehoOds to a congress
sional committee. He would have EOn-
g-eSs believe that am the only man in
the state who is opposed to the funding
bill while, as a matter of fact, the Senti-
ment here is almost unanimously against
it. It will be the greatest calamity that
ever befeu a state if Huntington sue
ceeds in hoodwinking congress to pass
the bill The funding scheme proposed by
Senator Morgan would be fairly accept

During the waking hours the nervous
system works necessarily. Poor sleep
means a. poor nervous condition, and
prolonged insomnia leads in every case

The all-important thing for nervous,
rundown persons, and for those who
are losing sleep is that Paine's celery

PACIFIC RAILROADS.
The Hearing Yesterday Before the
Senate Committee.


WASHINGTON, March 13.-The SEN
ate committee on Pacific railroads re-
sumed it's sitting today, devoting itself
to the Union Pacific. Oliver W. Mink,
one of the receivers of that road, was
Intercepted by Senator Woolcott and
said there was included in the Union
Pacific system about 5000 miles, of
which 1430 was government-aided road
and 1922 belonged to the Union Pacific
company. For these 1922 miles the
gross earnings have been for twenty
six months since the road came into the
hands of receivers $50, 1872, 632, and the
operating expenses, $21, 179, 233. He said
that in this time the company paid So
sos, 265 interest on debts secured, espec-
tally upon the company's lands, of
which it held 3.347, 900 acres.
The inquiries during the afternoon
session of the committee was devoted
TO the question of reorganization, Mr.
Mink still being on the stand. He said
that the Union Pacific, judged by the
earnings of recent years, would not be
able to assume fixed interest charge
of to exceed 100000 In any plan
of reorganization. the Oregon Short
Line should be retained in the system.
He suggested that the United States
ought to proceed in this matter as any
other creditor would, which would be
to appoint a commission and empower
it to negotiate for a settlement. In
response to this suggestion Mr.. Wolcott
said that possibly the United States
would be reluctant to adopt that plan,
in view of the melancholy experience
it was now passing through. Mr. Mink
said the consolidation of the Central
Pacific and Union Pacific would make
a strong combination, but that if the
Oregon Short Line was retained in the
Union Pacific system the Central Pa
cific would not be necessary to the
former He thought, however. that

JUST LOUSY WITH GOLD.
The Gold King, Near the Mercur
MIL, Makes a Great Showing.

The Gold King, Near the Mercur
MIL, Makes a Great Showing.
H. j. Deter, of the Gold King Min
ing company. came in from Manning
last night, bringing with him speci-
mems of free gold ore from the Gold
King property that fairly glistened
with the yellow metal
Mr.. Deter says that the drift in the
Gold King is now in about siXty-two
feet, and that in it's face, which is one
solid mass of ore, he took out a
chunk of quartz, weighing about eight
pounds, that was fairly plastered all
over with gold. OF course, Mr.. Deter
was we'll pleased at this showing, as it
gives an assurance of increased values
with depth, but he is equally we'll pleas
ed with the general average of the ore,
which, at siXty-two feet. shows a
mill run value of $11 in gold to the ton.
The vein, so Mr.. Deter says, is full
of quartz, a feature that does not char
acterize the ores of Mercur to any very
great extent. At present three shifts
are pushing work in the tunnel. and.
from present indications, this mine will
soon make showing sufficient to JUS
tify the erection of mill.
The Gold King strike is about half
mile east of the Mercur mill. while the
group hes largely TO the northeast of
the mill. The Bismarck group lies
south of the Gold King; the Shirley
group lies to the north, and the Little
Pearl group TO the west; while in the
same locality Studebaker Bros, of wa
gon fame, are interested in valuable
properties.
The discovery of free gold in this To-
cality is bound to stimulate mining in
that neighborhood, and it cannot be
long now before other important strikes
are recorded.

CHICAGO, March 13.-There is no
change in the situation in Colorado rates.
The Union Pacific, Denver 6, Gulf is
probably out for blood this time. and in
tends to keep up the fight. Nothing will
bring about a restoration of rates unless
the Atchison and the Denver & Gulf
come to an agreement on the coal rates,
or unless the latter road is forced by
the tactics of the lines into the Western
Passenger association. These roads are
willing to allow the trouble to remain
where it is without taking any action.
but if it spreads outside of Colorado
business proper there will be all sorts
of trouble ahead of the Denver & Gulf
as the association lines are not willing
TO have their general business dsorgan-
lied because of local squabbles in Col
Orado. 1t is now certain that all the
roads between Chicago and st. Paul and
Minneapolis will make the rate and
grant the time extension demanded by
the G. A. R. for its annual encampment
next September. 1t was practically a
foregone conclusion that the other roads
would follow the action of the Great
Western as soon as that line declared it
would make the time limit thirty days.
as asked by the G. a. r. Many of the
roads are doing this with not the best
grace in the world, for they feel that
the extension will cause a. decentralization
in their regular business that they will
feel for some time after the tickets to
the encampment proper have expired.
However there was nothing for them to
do but follow the lead of the Great
Western, when once it had declared that
it would accede to the wishes of the
Grand Army.

There was not much loafing in the
pit Of the mining exchange yesterday,
and the members in a measure re-
deemed themselves for the slump of the
day before.
The day was really a hot number,
and for awhile excitement ran high,
especially when the bulls and the bears

outside cheered on the combatants.

Ontario opened at Sl2 bid, and closed
