FRANCIS COOKS WEALTH.
Tennessee Claims Husband Divides
$1O,OOO,OOO Between His Sons.

London, Sept. 29.-Aged Sir Francis
Cook, who married Tennessee C1afiin,
is reported to have just divided $1O.-
0000 900 between his two sons in order
to cheat the Chancellor of the Ex-
chequer out of the succession duty
which would have to be paid if the
money were left as an ordinary leg
acy.
British millionaires have never for
given Lord Harcourt for increasing
those duties to a point which made
them an important source of public
revenue. Several of them, and among
the number the Duke of Westminster,
have already divided the bulk of their
personal estate among their sons and
daughters. Sir Francis Cook is reputed
to be worth $40. 900 even after en-
doWing his sons.

THE OLD WAY
OF Treating Dyspepsia and Indiges
ton by Dieting a Barbarous
and Useless One.

We say the old way but reaIlv it is
a very common one at present time and
many dyspepticS and physicians as
wen consider the first step to take in
attempting to cure ind. .geStion is to diet
either by selecting certain foods and
rejecting others or to greatly diminish
the quantity usually taken, in other
words the starvation plan is by many
supposed to be the first essential.
The almost certain failure of the
starvation cure for dyspepsia has been
proven time and again but still the
moment Dyspepsia makes its appear
ance a course of dieting is at once ad-
viSed.
All this is radically wrong 1t is
foolish and unscientific to recommend
dieting or starvation to a man suffering
from Dyspepsia because Indigestion
itself starveS every organ and every
nerve and every fibre in the body.
What the Dyspeptic wants is abund-
ant nutrition, which means plenty of
good. wholesome, well-cooked food and
something to assist the weak stomach
to digest it. This is exactly the pur-
pose for which Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
let's are adapted and this is the method
by which they cure the worst cases of
Dyspepsia, in other words the patient
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets digests it
for him In this way the system is
nouriShed and the overworked stomach
rested, because the tablets will digest
the food whether the stomach works or
not. One of these tablets will digest
5000 grains of meat or eggs
Your druggist will tell you that Stu
arts Dyspepsia Tablets is the purest
troubles and every trial makes one
more friend for this excellent prepara-
tion. Sold at 50cts. for full sized pack

FAMOUS SAN SABA MINE.
Texas Photographer Arranges for Its
Working on Percentage Basis.

San Antonio, Texas, Sept: ga. A.
Bract a photographer, who recently
came into possession of authentic rec
ords showing the location of the noted
San Saba gold mine, left today for
Menard county to pursue his investiga-
ton into the richness of the prehistoric
property.
A few weeks ago, Immediately after
the recOdS came into his hands, Mr..
Bract went to Menard county and found
the location of the mine without diff
Guilty. He did not explore it, for the
reason that he nd at that time made
no arrangements with the owner of the
land for working the mine. Since then
he has made a deal with the owner of
the land upon which the mine is situa-
ted, whereby the property may be work
ed on the percentage basis.
Mr.. Bract is confident that the mine
contains all the fabulous richness that
is given it by tradition.

JAMAICA GINGER e1FIEND. ;,
Mrs. Emma Mockel Asks to be Treat

New York, Sept 29.-An unusual form
OF inebriety was presented for treat

The woman is Mrs. Emma. MockeI. %

Mrs Mockel said she has an uncon-

a stimulating effect, but does not in

live on it She ate little food when she
could obtain the drug and she cares
for no other kind of drink
She said she had been benefited by
her former treatments at the hospital

Last Sunday the G o b e contained
an interesting paper upon the earliest
life at st. Paul, as demonstrated by
the fossilized rocks beneath the glacial
Gaping. Previous to the gradual con-
traction of the cooling earth, the ST.
lurian sea existing here extended west
ward across the localities now known
as the Rocky mountains. Mr.. James
Blair and Mr.. w. N. Culver recently
discovered the same character of fossils
at the crest of the main range in Mon
tana at a mountain which they called
Brewer peak. A copyright article cen
corning the Notwithstanding Of the
immense ranges Of the West, written
by Warren Upham for Hon. J. V.

disturbance in the less violent move
ments that have affected the region
since, even into very recent times. It
is therefore manifestly impossible to
determine with absolute accuracy how
much Of the present displacement Of
cretaceous beds in folds and faults was
produced in the first post-crataceous
movement and how much i'll those that
have supervened in tertiary and recent
times. I have laid stress upon
the Importance of the movement at the
close Of the coal-bearing laramie in the
Rocky mountain region. 1t is
unquestionably one Of the most i'm

With the exception of the great Unc en-

strewn with many boulders, averaging
perhaps fifty TO seventy-five feet in
thickness, Turtle mountain consists of
strata, chiefly shales. with very thin
seams of Ignite. At or below the base
Of this highland, the freshwater
Laramie formation rests on the marine
cretaceouS series. A thickness Of not
less than 500 to 1000 feet Of the Lara
ME and marine beds has been carried
away from the surrounding eastern part
Of the plains.
Westward the depth Of the tertiary
base-leveling was greater, About the
west end of the Cypress hills in ASsini-
boia, DR.. Dawson finds that the general
surface of the plains is now some 1900
feet lower than in early nniocene time,
when rivers from the mountains de-
posted the gravels which now cap
these hills. Around the HighWood and
Crazy mountains, in central Montana,
according to Prof. W. NJ. Davis and DR..
j. E. Wolff, the erosion Of the plains
has vertical extent of 5000 to 5000
feet. Perhaps the most striking evil
dence Of this great erosion is afforded
by the range Of the Crazy mountains,
which lies Immediately north Of the
Yellowstone river, near Livingston, and
is conspicuously seen from the North
ern Pacific railroad. These mountains
trend slightly west of north, and ex-
tend about forty miles with a width
of fifteen miles, attaining an elevation
Of II ,178 feet above the sea, and 5000
to 5000 feet above the prairies at their
base. Their structure has been thor
oughly studied by Wolff, who finds
that they consist of late cretaceous
strata, soft Sandstones. nearly horizon
tai in stratification, in4ersected by
network of eruptive bikes. The more
enduring igneous rocks have preserved
this range, while an average denuda-
ton of not less than one mile in YER
teal amount reduced all the adjoining
region to a base-level of erosion. The
Hfghwood mountains, about twenty
five miles east Of Great Falls, having
a height of 1900 feet above the sea or
about $500 feet above their base, are
described by Davis as displaying the
same structure, and therefore similarly
testifying Of great denudation.
The epeirogenic or continental uplift
at the beginning of the tertiary era ap
pears to have raised this portion Of
the great plains to a height above the
sea eQualing or exceeding the vertical
extent of their tertiary erosion: that
is, to a height of at least 1000 to 5000
feet, increasing from east to west. This
uplift, however, beginning at the end
Of cretaceous time, may probably have
progressed through the first half or
longer part Of the tertiary era. Toward
the end of this era, the base-leveling
had reduced the country mostly to a
plain which was probably only a few
hundred feet above the sea, lying much
below it's present altitude.
Between the general tertiary cycle of
base-leveling and the glacial period
there interviewed a second great epeiro-
genie uplift, as shown by the present
elevation and westward ascent of the
