LOCAL NEWS ITEMS
A Large Party of Engineers Arrive
ard it is Announced that the
Road is to be huiltowork to Com
mence in the Very Near Future.

ne TallrOau SITUATION mas
frightened up materially for Bon
ner's Ferry this week During
the week party of Surveyors ar
rived with stock Of supplies to
last them for long time. At the
same time it is given. out from one
source and another that the road is
going to build right away.
The report is that Foley Bros. &
Larson have the Contract. The
engineers now here will cross section
the line at once and the graders
will follow up in the course of a
few days 1t is expected that the
job will be completed in about
eight months, unless more time
should be required on the bridge
across the Kootenai river at this
place.
The line as established by Mr..
N. D. Miller, then chief engineer,
and now chief engineer Of the Great
Northern, crosses the Kootenai
about 100 yards te'aw the ferry
crossing of this place and then fol-
lows down the north side of the
river, along the foothills to Port
Hill, where it crosses the Interna-
tional line, and then proceeds on
to Kootenai Lake, total distance
of about 60 miles.
There are some peculiar features
connected with the building of this
line of railway. The only conner
ton for the line here is the Great
Northern, but the Great Northern
has recently purchased the Spokane
Falls & Northern, and people are
wondering what jim Hill wants
with two connecting lines with the
Kootenai mining districts
The public is settling down tc
the theory that the road is building
entirely independent of the Great
Northern. An English syndicate
is furnishing the capitol. Mr.. Geo
Alexander, the we'll known British
Columbia capitalist, is one of the
promoters of the enterprise, anC
that gentleman has demonstrated
that he can command all the for.
eign capital needed for any enter
PRISE he recommends. 1t would bt
an easy matter to con tinue the
road on TO a Northern Pacific con
nection, or even to Spokane, il
which event it would have all tn,
great trans. continental lines run
ming after it for an exchange o
business, as has the Corbin sys
tenn. 1t is not at all unlikely
therefore, that the road is beinI
built without Jim Hill's advice
and there are not few peopl
praying that such is the case.
There are to be some change
made in the line as ORIGINALLY lair

HE WOULDN'T GO TO WAR.
California Congressman Would Not Risk

New York, April 15.-Mr. Loud, of
California. made this statement of his
reasons for voting against both the mi
nority and majority reports. says the
Washington correspondent of the
Times.
In the first place" Mr.. Loud said, II

destruction of the Maine. As this coun-
try was stopped from going to war on
that account on the report of its own
naval board of inquiry. and no effort
has been made to discover who was re-
sponsible for its destruction. Spain
very promptly offered full PREPARATION for

that Prof. Shields had left the Pres

HEALTH cATEcIrIsM.


DtNtitss luNutluHt ANbhu'fP''''''
What is the first cause of nineteenth
OF all disease?
Imperfect digestion of food.
Why does imperfect digestion cause
disease of other organs?
Because blood. nerves. muscles, bone
and flesh are derived from the food
we eat and digest. If digestion IL per-
feet the blood is pure, nerves and
muscles strong. flesh firm. II the diges-
ton is poor. the blood Is supplied
irritating every nerve and organ. The
result Is, sooner or later. organic dis
ease. because every organ being poor
ly nourished the weakest gives way
first and we have liver trouble, kidney
complaints, heart disease or consump-
ton.
Is not dieting the usual and best
treatment to cure Indigestion?
No, because the dyspeptic has been
starved long enough what Is needed
is abundant nourishment. not the lack
Of IL. The stomach and blood demand
nutriment, not bran crackers.
What IL the best method of cure?
Plenty of wholesome food well dl-
gested.
But how can weak stomach digest
plenty of wholesome food?
BY taking with the food after each
meal certain harmless remedies which
are known to digest food and thus
nourlsh the blood and rest the weak
stomach.
What the these harmless remedies?
The most valuable are vegetable fer
ments. pure pepsin, Golden Seal and
fruit salts. All of these are now com
bined in the form OF pleasant tasting
tablets sold by druggists under the
name of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets.
Are these tablets superior TO the var
ious liquid preparations so called dys-
pepsia cures?
Most decidedly. because all liquid
medicines become stale with age and
lose whatever good qualities they may
have had originally, while the tablet
retains its properties Indefinitely.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets can be
carried in the pocket. always at hand
ready for use when travelling or at
daily occupation. The cost but 80
cents and should be kept in every
family. They keep the digestion per-
feet and save Doctors bills by wardng
off disease.
Are Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets
adapted to all forms of dyspepsia?
Yes, because In all cases the trouble
results from indigestcd. fermentlnE
food. Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets cause
| the food TO be digested before 1t has
| time to ferment
| If you wish to know more about them
ask your druggist for a package and
| try them.

Berlin. April 15.-According TO adj
vices from Kiei, the United States is
negotiating for the purchase of the
torpedo catchers Timbui and Tupy,

for Brazil, which offers more ships for

and Tupy are among the fastest vessels
in the world, capable of % knots an

It is said here that all the American
officers on furlough in Europe have

to the millions of Germans in America,
the excitement in Berlin is intense.
Nearly all the papers refer in strong
language TO President McKinley's mes
sage, and the public is strongly against

An Outrage.

Duluth cannot afford to give
away any more longtime fran
chises. The telephone fran
chise came within two votes of
passing the council last Mon
day night. IF the question
comes up again and it should
reach the mayor, there is no
doubt but what it will imme-
diately receive his veto. What
surprises us most, how
ever, is some of the alder
men who voted for the
proposition. Men elected.on a
platform directly adverse to
granting franchises at all-men
to whom the best interests of
this country look for the up
holding of their election
pledges. Where are they? Vot-
ing with the franchise-grab-

to the interests of organized
labor. What does it mean?

To THE LABOR WORLD:
I have promised so many friends to
let them know something of my expe-
riences on this trip that it is impossible
to write them all particularly as I am in
my customary financial condition in a
region where it costs quarter letter
to get mail to regular government post
Offices. The next best thing is to reach
them, with the editors permission
through the columns of the LABOR
WORLD.
The Duluth contingent, so far as I
know, are all somewhere about Lake
Lindeman. Mclaughlin, Spitz and
Dalyleish are camped about half mile
down the east shore; Mcintyre and
Jerry are near the head of the
lake on the east side, while Meniece and
the Reeder boys are across from the
town on the west shore. There are sew
eral other Duluthians somewhere about
but have not seen them for several
weeks. The ones named have their
boats about completed and as soon as
navigation Opens are ready to spread
their sails and hie themselves away to
where the rivers are carpeted with gold
en- sands. #v {
About what awaits us down river we
are not wasting time speculating about.
There are serious rumors of lives lost in
the ice jams below and prudent men are
not in hurry to start. There are SO
many idle reports though that no one
pays much attention to pending difficult
ties until he faces them. Perhaps,
therefore, I haa better confne myself to
things that have seen myself.

JOHN D.
"A Prominent Business Man,
Wonders What the PeopIo
- Have to Kick About.
What If Rockefeller Does
Charge High Rates-What
are You Going to do? .

"a prominent busines man.
of the News-Tribune style of
thinking wants to know "what
have the people of this county
to kick about as far as Rocke-
feller is concerned? He was
the first man to build a railroad
wholly within this county and
wholly dependent on this coun-
ty for it's resources. Further,
the Rockefeller. people have
pursued a liberal policy here.
While there is complaint about
the rates there is nothing to
hinder anybody else i, from
building an independent rail !
road" aZ r..=. j..
Excellent, Mr.. Rockefeller.
" To be sure he did not exactly
build the. railroad. It dropped
into his lap ready made when
the Merritts could no longer
hold it and with it came a gift
from the county of $250,00O.
But that is a mere detail. "
The fact remains that he
consents to own the road,
which is in itself an exercise of
philant thropy. Some men
would be mean enough to re-
fuse to own it, and what would
become Of the county then?
It is absolutely dependent on
the count It derives it's char.
ter7from the state, its business
from the people, its earnings.
from the 1abors of the men who
live here, it's fares and freights
from the community. What
great benevolence is this.
Some men would refuse to let
the road do this work. Some
could be imagined who
would pull the road up by the
roots and drive the mines down
into the ground. That is not
Mr.. Rockefeller. He let's the
road stay, where it is and per
mits the mines to put forth
their wealth. f. Hs:r.. (" 5..s..i
That is, some of them. A
good many Of the mines he has
bottled up, some because he
owns the leases and wants to
freeze out the owners; others,
because he does not own the
leases and wants to make them
valueless to anybody else. This
again is proof of his liberality.
Instead of charging two prices
for ore rates he might refuse to
carry ore at all. :...=ss H..
He even submits to the in
of carrying passengers.
Not cheerfully indeed, but
churlishly, at the enormous
toll of four cents a mile. But
it would be ungracious to find
fault with him for that when
he still grants the county the
of supporting his road
as the News Tribune's pron1i-
nent business man delicate1y
puts it. .:..~.
What if he does charge high
rates? Anybody who doesn't
like it can go out and build
himself another road. ..
What are you kicking about,
says the King of the Cannibal
islands. Have I not allowed
you to support me? Do 1 not
pursue liberal policy? Why, |
have not eaten half of you.
And if you don't like it, 60 and
