Robbed the Grave.

A startling incident of which Mr.. John
Oliver of Philadelphia was the subject,
is narrated by him as follows: Il was
in a most dreadful condition. My skin
was almost yellow, eyes sunken, tongue
coated, pain continually in back and
sides. no appetite-gradually growing
weaker day by day. Three physicians
had given me up. Fortunately. a friend
advised trying Electric Bitters,' and,
to my great joy and surprise, the first
bottle made a decided improvement. 1
continued their use for three weeks, and
am now a well man. 1 know they saved
my life, and robbed the grave of an
other victim" No one should fail to
try them. Only so cents per bottle, at
H. C. NJ l. drug store.

Both these propositions commanded
a very respectable majority in the
committee, but when the members
voted on roll calls in the house, both
OF them were overwhelmingly defeated.
Several minor bills were passed after
the sundry civil bill was disposed of.
Speaking TO a proposed amendment,
General Shattuck (Rep., o., who was
for 80 years connected with the man
agement of railroads, took occasion to
answer an attack made upon the rail-
ways some time ago. He had never
known a railroad manager, he said,
who was calamity-howler.
Why should railroad men be ca
lamity- ?" asked Mr.. Green
Pop., Neb.), when they plumber the
whole country"
That statement is absolutely false
retorted Mr.. Shattuck, and the gentle
man who makes it knows it is false"
Mr.. Shattuck, continuing, said he
would be ashamed to come to the for
UNI of the people and continually grum-
bic about the miserable condition of
the people he represents.
THE district from which come con-
tains the best people in the world"
said Mr.. Green.
Mr.. Shattuck-Well. it does not send
them here. Great laughter)
Mr.. Fox IDem., Miss.), to whose
speech Mr.. Shattuck had replied, denied
that he had assaiied the railroads. He
had himself, he said. represented rail-
roads as an attorney for many years,
and what he had said was that the
people of the south had as much right
to exercise a legitimate influence over
the colored voters of their sections as
the railroads, manufactures or any
other corporations.
Deny it as you WILL" said Mr.. Fox,
lit is a fact that the railroads and 9TH
er corporations controlled the vote of
their employees for Mckinley, by in
timidation, threats and bribery. If the
laboring men of the country had been
allowed to vote their convictions, VIII
liam ]. Bryan would now be president
of the United States"

The decision of the supreme court

mining companies, and the result Will

there are but few instances where

man to work underground or in smell

SELF-HYPN0TISM
Is Practised Unconsciously By People
Day By Day.

Day By Day.
In order to continue habit. some
people viii put up with more misery
day by day than they would stand for
any other cause.
For instance, a man may have
daily twinses of neuralgia or stomach
trouble, or weakness of the heart
Gall having their origin in dis
arranged nervous syStems and be
told many times that he could be rid
of his misery by leaving off the drugs.
tobacco and coffee that cause the
trouble. But he stoutly asserts that
they don't hurt him, and are not the
cause of his trouble. why" one
man said, 81 left off coffee and tobacco
once for two weeks, and / felt like a
fighting cock. but / couldn't stand the
powerful desire, and had to take them
up again"
Such experiences show the real
hypnotic character of habit. and
these habits are, to an extent,
breaking down the race When a. man
shakes off the hypnotism he clearly sees
that bounding health and the ability to
hold ~ ones head like a man, to do
ones life duty and have the ability to
carry out business projects successfully
is worth more than all the habits on
the face of the earth, when coupled
with daily aches and ails and an ever
increasing inability to make things go.
Mans great object in life is happi-
ness, and to portray as nearly as pos
sible the perfect man designed by the
Creator
Narcotic habits, like coffee and to-
bacco, break him down by as sure a
law as that by which the sun rises
each morning. 1t is easy to break the
spell of coffee If Postum Food Coffee is
used, for when it is properly boiled il
has the color and flavor of Java coffee,
and yet contains nothing but the most
powerful food elements, selected with
especial reference to their ability to
restore the delicate tissue in brain and
nerve centers. The trade mark, 1T
makes red blood covers a profound
truth.

ency Of w. NJ. Nesbit, the well known
mining superintendent of Tintic, who
has been so long identified with the
Mammoth mine, and also with the Pull

one Of the biggest mines in Tintic dis
trict
The successful development of the
Mammoth mine anG its present position
as one of Utsh's leading producers is
in a very large measure due to the
management of Mr.. Nesbit, and with
his knowledge and experience of the
ore bodies of that particular vicinity.
the working of the Grand Central prop
erty in miner-like fashion is assured
and, together with tie splendid develop
Inent work already done, the future of
the Grand Central is bright indeed.

and Reed Smoot of Provo.
MINERAL EXHIBIT.
The committee appointed to learn
whether the Hall of Relics could be
obtained for the mineral exhibit asked
for further time in which TO make
their report.
HEADQUARTERS SECURED.
The committee formed by Governor
Wells and Secretary Johnson, selected
to report on a suitable place for the
headquarters of the congress commit
tee, reported that the lions Savings
Bank Co. had offered a suite of fur
niShed rooms, Nos. 50S-9, in the Tenn
pleton building, as a part of their con-
tribution to the congress fund, and that
the offer had been accepted. In this
was adopted:
Whereas, The lions Savings Bank
& Trust Co. have rendered this COM
mittee the use of a commodious suite
of rooms, furnished, in its building. the
Templeton, for such length of time as
may be required, as a partial contri-
button 10 the cause. Therefore, be it
Resolved, That the same be and is
hereby accepted, and that the thanks
of this committee be formally ex-
pressed by it's chairman to the said
company

gress asked for another week in which

Hall for this purpose
ON TRANSPORTATION
The committee on transportation, of
which Mr.. Dern and Mr. johnson are
the members, reported that the rail-
roads were ready to cooperate. and
would take up the matter of rates i'm
mediately with the various passenger
associations. This will require CORES
pOndence with all the railway passen-
ger associations in the country. as an
effort will be made to get special excur-
sion rates from all points of the United
States. In view of the fact that the
Omaha exposition occurs during the
summer, il is believed by the commit
tee that very low rates can be Sc
cured.
The secretary was instructed 10 en-
ploy at once a stenographer and type !
writer. and correspondence which is
now in arrears will be begun at once.
WANT ADVICE.
The desire was expressed generally
by members of the committee that |
mining men visit the headquarters and |
give the committee the benefit of their |
cooperation. The committee believe /
this to be the greatest opportunity /
Utah has had for advertising her re- /
sources, and that financial aid given |
the congress will prove a fruitful in /
vestment.
THE FUNDS.
A meeting of the finance committee !
will be called within the next two or
three weeks by Chairman Richard /
and the work of raising
funds for the congress will be COM
menced Immediately. The committee
adjourned to meet at the call of the
chairman.
