THE SIOUX CITY BRANCH.
Some More About the Pacific Railroads
Indebtedness.

Washington, January 1i.-All the
bonds Of the Sioux City and Pacific
railroad mature January 1, 1898. The
amount Of the original indebtedness is
81, 900, 900, which, with accrued interest,
aggregates 81, 900, 600. The road forms
part of the Chicago and Northwestern
railroad system. MIR. Brown, counsel
for that company, appeared before the
house Pacific railroads committee this
morning and briefly stated the facts
concerning the original construction OF
the ROAD and the issue of the first mort
gage bonds at SIS, 600 mile which forms
a prior lien DO ths governments Issue
of similar amount.
Mr.. Brown explained that the desire
of the company was TO avoid foTeclo-
sure next year by authorizing the Ssere-
tary of the Treasury to make settle
ment OF the governments indebtedness
and upon payment thereof, to give full
acquittance.
Fred Chamberlain. associated with
John G.. Coombs of Boston, general
counsel OF the Credits Communication
company, composed Of $40 banks, which
has SO. 900, 600 invested in railroad prop
erty in Sioux City, stated that as the as
snciation of banks be represented found
that their railroad property in Sioux
facilities granted to Sioux City by tbs
Union Pacific, which we're very meagre.
For three sessions of Congress these
banks have been sending representative
to Washington to secure an amendment
to the Pacific funding bills which should
give the Sioux City road fair, traatme emf
and fair amount of traffic, provided
that they built road from Sioux City,
$50 miles southwest to a juncture of the
Union Pacific main line at North Platte.
Tho Pacific Railroad Debts.
Washington, January 14.-At meet
ing Of the House committee on the
Pacific railroad, motion was made by
Mr.. Harrison of Alabama that a sub
committse of five should be appointed to
formulate plan OF settlement by q COM
mission on the general lines Of the SUBJ
stiuute offered By him in the House
several days ago when the Powers bill
was under discussion. The Harrison
substitute provided for a commission con-
sisting of three members of the Cabinet
who should have power to settle the In
debtedness Of all the bond aided railroads
to the government subjecs to approval OF
| the President.
It was agreed, therefore, that snb-
committee consisting of 1ve Nom bers
should he appointed to draft commits
sion bill and it was decided to include
in their work plan for the ndJustmen INT
Of the indebtedn ness of the Sioux City and
Pacific railway to the governments mas
much as the bill now before the commit
tee for this purpose leaves the settlement
of this matter with the Secretary OF the
Treasury. =

The Trouble With the Rural Schools.

To the Editor of the Press:
The rural schools are being brought tc
the attention of the pn bile by the State
SUPERINTENDENT. He Is doing a grand
work In this line, and we hope the good
work will 10 on until we have as good
schools in the country as they have In
the larger villages.
The trouble with the country schools is
not SO much the lack of money us 1t is
the lack of management. A grea'
amount of the Smonsy is wasted in the
country for schools, and will be wasted
until the State takes the entire charge
of the country schools. "a There are alto
gether too many schools in the country.
The schools need to be combined and sc
have larger schools. and combining the
schools. there would be FEWER schools,
thereby saving money in this respect, as
it would cost no more to run SCHOOL OF
thirty scholars than 1T does OF nfteen
scholars. And il this work OF oomb1n-
ing is to be done it has got to be done by
the State. Then in the country town
llnGA OuEQv JU DS ~ AoACos 4 AAA1 1850 -
to be done by the state. 1t is useless
expense for two or three towns that come
together for each of them TO main
tain schools as is done in many places at
present. There should be one school and
some one to say which one, and proper
ton the expense, The teachers are poor
and the town school boards IN many
places have their hands tied by votes.
The teachers ought to be examined by a
fhav nlnht tn nAyA
some training before they go into a
school to experiment. Then there ought
TO he some arrangement made for man
to give all of his time to experimenting
the schools. 1t seems little ridiculous
to l,avs man for superintendent vino
knows next TO nothing about school
work. 1t ia something which is not done
by any corporation. The majority OF the
DeopIe ipztheEcountry who have children
TO be educated are ready and looking for
ward to the time when the changes will
come. Many people are leaving the
country on account of the poor advant-
ages for their children there. What the
country schools are needing is not SC
much more money, but wise expendi-
ture of the money already raised. The
State says at present how much money
the towns must raise for schools-that
the towns must provide text books, and
now what the country towns are waiting
for is for the State to come In take Athe
whole charge of the schools, and they
will willingly pay the Ebills. One great
reason whyssthe city schools are SO good
ia because the whole matter Of schools is
in the hands of COMMITTEES, ami we
want State committee to be to the
country schools what the city school
committee is to the CITY schools.
AS long as the country schools are left
to the Clown meeting" there will be
this useless waste of school money.

American Dentists in Europe.

In noticing the death of DR.. Thomas
w. Evans, the celebrated American den
fist in Paris, the Boston journal says
There were other dentists in Europe TWEEN
ty years ago who jammed napkins, india
rubber contrivances and assorted instru-
ments into royal or imperial mouths. The
dentist who looked after the teeth of
Italys Queen was born in Maine. In
Rome he flourished like green bay tree.
The chief dentist in Berlin was also from
Maine. He bored and hammered the teeth
of Bismarck with the same GOODNESS and
strict attention to business that he would
have shown if the patient had been some
ardent prohibitionist from Lewiston. He
delighted in gorgeous raiment, in horses,
and in sport Paul Lindau was often at
his house, and Mrs. Lindau, q woman of
extravagant beauty, was not nnwelcome
guest There was an American dentist in
Dresden who each year went to Vienna to
tinker imperial teeth He was the dental
friend of Wagner, and the boy Siegfried
used to visit him. The American dentist
was so famous throughout Europe that
there was a saying ''Americans must have
the worst teeth in the world; for their
dentists are the best" But of all these
useful workmen Dr. Evans was easily the
most conspicuous

Barley Experiment A Success.

State Land Agent Charles E. Oak of
Caribou, who was chiefly instrumental in
having the Aroostook farmers try the ex-
pertinent of raising barley from which
malt is made, is much pleased with the
result this year. He said that last spring
a car load of seed was sown by the farmers
who wished to try the experiment. and
that about 10000 bushels of excellent
quality has been raised. OF this quantity
three carload have already been sold at
rate of 45 cents a bushel The aveaage
yield from an acre will probably be about
40 or so bushels, which will give the
farmer fair return for time and labor
and investment, and the crop will have
the added advantage of being one which
can be at once converted into money.

he told me l had cancer, l became

was.
81 received the best medical atten-
ton, but the cancer continued to
grow worse until the physicians
finally said that I would have to
have an operation performed, as that
was the only hope for me. This I re-
fused to submit to, as I knew cancer was
blood disease, and my common sense
told me that it was folly to expect an
operation to cure blood disease.
knowing S, 5. S. to be a good blood
remedy decided TO try it, and the first
bottle produced an improvement. I
continued the medicine, and in four
months the last scab dropped off. Ten
years have elapsed, and not sign OF
the disease has returned"
The alarming increase in the number
of deaths which occur as the result Of
surgical operation is attracting general
attention, and strong sentiment against
such methods Of treatment is fast de
veloping among the most intelligent
classes. It seems that in almost every
case where the doctors treatment is
unsuccessful, the learned physicians de-
performed, and the keen blade Of the
surgeon is recklessly resorted to.
The many caustic plasters which are
applied to remove cancers are more pain
full than death, and the danger Of a sur
gical operation is as great as the disease
itself. No plaster or surgical oper-
alton can cure cancer, because it is
blood disease; the destructive cancer
cells are in the blood, and cannot be
cut out, Or removed by local treatment.
As the disease must be forced from the
blood, it is only reasonable to rely upon
a real blood remedy for a cure, one
which goes direct to the cause of the
trouble and removes it.
S. S. S. (Swift's Specific) is the only
known cure for cancer and other obsti-
nate and deep-seated blood diseases such
as Scrofula, Eczema, Catarrh, Rheuma-

Out
For Cancer!

Few people are born entirely free from
blood faint. This is often very slight or
remote, and sometimes may not develop
at all in one generation, but breaks out
in serious disease later.
Cancer, the most dreadful of all dis
eases, is often the result of some blood
faint inherited from generations back.
1t often appears as a mere mole or in
significant pimple, which later develops
into an alarming condition. No one
knows but that he may be subject to an
inherited impurity in the blood, nor can
he tell whether or not this may some
day crop out in the form of destructive
cancer. 1t is, therefore, important that
any little sore or scratch, which does
not readily heal, be given prompt atten-
ton, or a serious condition may result
Mr.. Robert Smedley, of Ocala, Fla,
was the victim of malignant cancer,
which first appeared in the manner
above described. He writes:
cat first l paid no attention to the
little blotches on my face, thinking they
would soon pass away. Before long,
however, they became sore, and soon
began to enlarge. I applied ordinary
local remedies, but they had no effect,
