Citizens of jackson county are
making an effort to have the Rip

road extended from Mill Greek,

the distance between Charleston

miles, and bring the Ohio River
Railroad to the capital of the State.

evening they have band concert

ADVERTISEMFNT THE DUTY OF MOTHERS.
Daughters Should be Carefully Guided in Early Womanhood.

What suffering frequently results from mothers ignorance; or more frequently from a mothers neglect to properly instruct her daughter!
 Tradition says woman must suffer, ' and young women are so taught. There is little truth and a great deal of exaggeration in this. If a young woman suffers severely she needs treatment and her mother should see that she gets it.
 Many mothers hesitate to take their daughters to a physician for examina- ton; but no mother need hesitate to write freely about her daughter or herself to Mrs. Pinkham and secure the most efficient advice without charge. Mrs. Pinkhams address is Lynn, Mass.
 The following letter from Miss MARIE F. JOHNSON, Centralia, Pa, shows what neglect will do, and tells how Mrs. Pinkham helped her:
 "My health became so poor that had to leave school. l was tired all the time, and had dreadful pains in my side and back. l was also troubled with irregularity of menses. 1 was very weak, and lost so much flesh that my friends became alarmed. My mother, who is firm believer in your remedies from experience, thought per haps they might benefit me, and wrote you for advice. I followed the advice you gave, and used Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and Liver Pills as you directed, and am now as we'll as 1 ever was. have gained flesh and have a good color am completely cured of irregularity."

PHYLLOXERA DID IT.
Sale of the Once Famous Groezinger
 Vineyard

By a decree of foreclosure entered be- fore Judge Hamm of the Superior Court of Napa on last Thursday the ,Groezinger vineyard, consisting of 1150 acres of land, in which there are 200 acres of grape vines. 250,O0O gallons of wine. a winery 125x166 feet, a warehouse 150X105 feet, to- gether with a dwelling-house which cost $20 900. was transferred from A. s. Edg- erly to J. K. Prior of this city for the sum of 900.
 The property which fell into the pos session of Millionaire Prior was acquired by him on a loan of 25,0O0 four years ago, the accumulated interest and the cost of foreclosure making the difference between this amount and that of s43- GOO. This vineyard Is one of the first ever laid out in the State of California by an American. In 1860 c. Groezinger bought several sections of land from Senor Yount, after whom Yountville is named. and started the vineyard in the rich valley of Napa
 Groezinger, who had thorough knowl- edge of wine-malling, spared no money in making his vineyard a success, which he did. It was so profitable that at one time he refused s350, 900 cash for 1t. Mis- fortune and phylloxera persecuted him, and in 1880 he mortgaged the property to A. Borel for S90 GOO. Borel foreclosed in 1891 and sold the vineyard to Eagerly, who mortgaged it 10 Millionaire Prior TOT the sum named

HAVE STRUCK
 ANOTHER SNAG Trouble Over Proposed Restraining Dams. HALF A MILLION NOT ENOUGH SLOW PROGRESS IN STARTING
 THE PROJECT. The Federal Engineers Investiga- tions Show That the Big Dam
 Will Cost Mint of
 Money.
HALF A MILLION NOT ENOUGH
SLOW PROGRESS IN STARTING
 THE PROJECT.

Another snag-and a serious one-haS | been struck in the enterprise of building those restraining dams for which $500,0O0 was appropriated by the State and Gov ernment some years ago, and for which dollars will not more than build the first definite estimates but stating probabilities that appear now"
 It transpires not only that the half million available for the work will be enough for only one dam at best but that 1t may be inadequate even for that; and nothing but planning can be done until further appropriations are given by Con- gress.
 There has never been any definite idea about how far the $500 900 would go in dam building, but it has been vaguely supposed that two or three could be built on the Tuba, Feather and Bear Rivers.
 The Federal engineers composing the California Debris Commission have this season for the first time gone to work on the Investigations on which plans and es- inmates can be based. From the first the most important dam has been recognized to be the one for the Tuba River The Narrows, above Marysville, has been rec oeniZed as the natural location for 1t, and during the summer the work has been concentrated on this prospective dam. The operations have consisted mainly of bor- ings to find the depth to bedrock and the other conditions of foundation, and for some weeks this boring has been carried
 
 attached to the service, who is now keep ing dozen men at work
 made and the fact has just been estab- iished that at every available point the depth to bedrock is so great that the cost w would be if the bedrock lay close to, the surface. There is everywhere a bed of gravel from fifty to eighty-five feet deep, s5nd the foundations of the dam must rise strongly from the bedrock itself. The re- s,1lt of what has been learned is, accord ing 10 Major Heuer, that the half-million dollars w not more than bnlq the ieaf r5t st u,iT moi be enough and that nothing can be done until more money is given.
 'rWe expect now to be able to. report definitely to Congress by December l, said Major Heuer yesterday. Tt is likely that MT Vischer will be through with his investigations and make his report within thirty days, and then we can furnish def- mite estimates. It appears probable now that this dam will consume all the appro- priations, and 1t is even possible that Con- Rress will have to provide more money
