Col. Cole said TO day that, while the
bank may have given way, it was equally

Chief Detective Humphrey, who. with
Superintendent Mccoy, Assistant

Slack, remained at the wreck nil night,
experimenting the search for valuables
on the Glen Alpine, this morning sent
the recovered property to the Grand

pocketboobs, 5000 in money, in sums
ranging from Slj to $500. and eight
gold watches, one of them being d
lady's chatelane. Some Of the watches
hear monograms, by which they can be
identified. There were also found d
variety of diamonds, sleeve buttons, d

satches, umbrellas and shoes. One
vest contained l.. A. W. card, made

other card bore the name Of Charles +.

Roadmaster Otis, who ia considered
one of the most expert track builders in

the repairing of the roadbed where the

cause of the sinking roadbed. He told
a representative of the Associated Press
that it was due primarily to somt
almost unaccountable action of the
water on the embankment, The sanI

An analysis of DR.. Williams Pink Pills for
Pale People shows that they contain, in q con-

new life and richness to the blood and restore
shattered nerves. They are an unfailing spe-

tial paralysis, st. Vitus' dance, ~sciatica, neural
gia. rheumatism. nervous headache, the after
effects of la grippe, palpitation of the heart,
pale and sallow complications, all forms OF
weaknes either in male or female, and all
diseases resulting from vitiated humors in the
blood. Pink Pills are sold by all dealers, or
will be sent post paid on receipt of price, 90

From the Evening Ne,rs, Detroit, Mich.

Udney Y. Wilson, contractor and builder,
living in Detroit, Mich, at 81 High Street,
West, said regarding DR.. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People: For years / have
been out of doors in all kinds of bad weather,
looking after my building contracts l have
worked many days in the rain and cold to
complete some building. About two years
ago 1 noticed I could not get around as I
should, and commenced to nave q severe pain
In my back. ! tried the usual remedies with
out getting any relief, and for nearly q year I
suffered intensely. / kept up as long as l
could, rs / had several contracts for buildings
that had to be completed.
"a night l could not sleep. Ny physi-
clan said it was my kidneys, and every day
I went out doors they would keep me awake
nearly all the following night. Instead of
getting better / became worse, and worried
. great deal about my work. The doctor
said / must quit work and 60 to bed, or he
would not be responsible for my life.
"All the medicines / took only helped
me temporarily. Some days I would feel
better and go out q day only to be again con-
day my wife suggested that I try DIR. Viii
liams' Pink Pills for Pale People, and i
laughed at the idea.
FINALLY when I got into such a condition
that I would take almost anything in the
hope of relief, I tried the pills. They helped
me from the start, but I would not acknowl-
edge IL and said il was the other medicines
that had just commenced to work. ! disliked

ABOUT GREAT AUTHORS.

George Du Maurier said that the bits
of dialogue accompanying his pictures
in Punch involved more study and time
than the drawing of the pictures them
selves. Each was a situation. Each
summed up a chapter.

Thackeray the great English novelist
loosely told his American guest to go
down on his knees, as Vanity Fair was

Victor Hugo's dramatic instinct en-
abled him to draw as well as to write,
and he was enthusiastically fond of the
art. He was superbly and originally
fantastic-Dore being commonplace
and without dignity, in comparison.

Sale of naginnls Buildings.

Deputy Land Agent Page arrived
from Great Falls Thursday and on
Friday accompanied David Hilger
to the reservation where the auction
sale of buildings took place. All
sales were made subject to approval
by the state board, and while very
low 1t must be remembered that van
dalism has been rampant on the
reservation since abandonment and
that many of the buildings are in
bad shape. Also that the expense
of keeping a custodian is heavy and
possibly it were better for the state
to accept less than the buildings
were worth than to attempt to
guard them for sale at a future time.
