GREAT CATTLE SHIPMENTS.
Burlington Has Hauled 10000 Cars
So Far This Year.

Denver, Nov. 27.-"It would be fool
ish for the Burlington to return to the
feed in transit rate said Fred s.
Rockwell, the live stock agent of the
Burlington In view of the great in
crease of business last year, and our
much increased earnings on live stock
freight, it seems to me that the Bur
ington is best off as it is.
ON the whole line together, 10000
cars of live stock We're carried by US
this year. and the season is not closed
vet. This is an increase of Is or 20 per
cent above last years shipments. It
can not be said that the entire increase
is due to the abolishing of the feed-in-
transit, but certainly some of it is.
Such a heavy export of cattle have
been made from the ranges in the west
ern part of the country that now this
section is almost bare of stock. Most
of the herds are small. Next year the
range country, including Montana. Ore
gon, Utah and Western Colorado will
not be able to furnish any great num-
Der of cattle for the east. The question
now is, where are we to get feeders?
Texas can give it's quota to the dealers
in Nebraska, Kansas and Iowa, but the
west will be able to supply few"

GA MAN" srATUErTEs.
They Are Proving Attractive Adver-
Using Features For Rock Island.

The statuettes adopted some time
ago by the Rock Island passenger de-
partment as an unique and attractive
manner of advertising the Rock Island
road. are being sent out extensively to
agents and representatives, and placed
by them in the offices and depOts of the
company and in hotels and other pub
lie places.
These statuettes are a departure in
the way of advertising. They are prov
ing to be a success, and being a novelty
as we'll as an ornament. are much
ers who have space for something of
this kind. On this account they are
used in places where other forms of
advertising would be entirely out of
place.
The statuettes are made out of plas-
ter of paris and tinted with a color
which is leasing and at the same time
durable. They represent a man stand
ing before a map of the Rock Island
route with a Rock Island time table in
his hand, while at his feet IS his Yalise.
The expression on the face is that of a
man making up his mind which train
to take.
The "a man. picture, which these
statuettes copy, has been used by the
Rock Island road for a great many
years as a sort of trade mark. Nearly
all the folders and time tables which
the passenger department has issued,
bear this picture This "a. man" picture
has appeared in nearly every daily pa
per in the United States and is faniI-
lar to everyone.

LTFE-sAVING DOG.
son Have an Intelligent Ca
nine Mascot

An intelligent dog saved a mans life
in the upper Missouri Pacific yards,
near the shops here, says the Atchison
Globe. A young farmer, whose name
could not be learned, attempted to
board a train while in a beastly state
of intoxication. He missed the steps
of the rear coach and fell in a heap on
the track. Switch engines pass over
the track at frequent intervals, and a
dog, which was loafng around in the
yards, noticing the mans perilous posi-
ton, ran up to the PROSTATE form, and
tugged away at the mans clothing in
an effort to pull him out of the way.
The switchmen, attracted by the &C
lions of the dog, went to the scene just
in time to rescue the man from the
wheels of an approaching locomotive.
The dog belongs to Ed Clark, the
switchman. He found the dog when
small pup, wandering aimIessly about,
and almost frozen to death, a few Win
tiers ago. It has grown into a large
animal, and the Missouri Pacific switch
men consider it their mascot.

TO ENTER CALIFORNIA.
Rio Grande Western to Become a
Santa Fe Competitor.

Salt Lake, Nov 27.-A train of grad
ing outfits and men have gone to Belk-
nap to start work on the Rio Grande
Western extension from Belknap to
Cedar City, Utah. The company an
nOunces that at least 100 miles will be
built next year. This will be a part of
the surveyed line to southern Califor-
MIA, via Barstow, Cal.
The Colorado Fuel & Iron company of
Pueblo and Denver, has taken up large
tracts of iron lands near Cedar, and a

the road will go on to California. Coal

rrauscontinental Express Too Fast.

me meeting Of passenger Agent $.
K Hooper of the Rio Grande railroad
with Passenger Agent Sebastian of the
Rock Island railroad in Salt Lake, is
supposed to have a bearing upon the
changing of the present fast schedule
back to that previously in use. The
time limit of the transcontinental ex-
press is too fast to be easily made. The
principal opposition to the new sche-
duIe came from the lines west of Og-
den, particularly the Oregon Short Line
and the Oregon Railway & Navigation
company. It is believed that pressure
is brought to bear by them, which the
Colorado roads are only too willing to
accede to while the lines east Of Den
yer are DESTROYS of maintaining the
new schedule.

TWO FINE SPECIMENS
of PHYSICAL Manhood.

No form of athletic exercise demands
such perfect physical condition as prize
fighting Every muscle in the body
must be fully developed and supple, and
the heart lungs and stomach must act
to perfection
Whether we endorse prize-fghting or
not, it is nevertheless interesting TO
know the manner by which men arrive
at such physical perfection.
James Jeffries, the present champion
heavyWeigh of the world, and his gal
liant opponent. Tom Sharkey, IN the
greatest pugilistic encounter that has
ever taken place, both pursued much
the same course of training and the
first and most important part of this
training was to get the stomach in con-
dition, and to keep the digestion abso-
lutely perfect, so that every muscle
and nerve would be at it's highest capa-
biIities.
This was not done by a, secret patent
medicine, but both of these great pugil-
lists used a well known natural diges-
tive tablet sold by druggists under the
name of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
and composed of the digestive ferments
which every stomach requires for
healthy digestion.
Champion Jeffries says: Stuart s
Dyspepsia Tablets prevent acidity,
strengthen the stomach and insure per-
feet digestion. They keep a man in
fine physical condition Signed, James
J. Jeffries champion of the world.
The gallant fighter, Sharkey, says:
"Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets remove all
discomfort after eating. They rest the
stomach and restore it to a healthful
condition. I heartily recommend them. >
Signed, Thomas J.-Sharkey.
The advantage of the daily use of
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is that they
keep people well and ward off sickness
and are equally valuable to well per-
sons as to the dyspeptics. Another ad-
vantage is that these tablets contain
no carthartics, or poisons of any char
acter, but simply digestive ferments,
which are found in every healthy ston-
ach. and when digestion is imperfect it is
because the stomach lacks some Of
these elements and Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets supply it
They are no cheap cathartic, but a
perfectly safe and efficient digestive
and the demand for them is greater
than the sale of all other so-called dys-
pepsia cures combined. No remedy
could possibly reach such a place in
public esteem except as the result of
positive merit.
Fun sized packages are sold by all
druggists at so cents and the best habit
you can possibly form is to take a
Stuart Tablet after each meal. They
make weak stomachs strong and keep
strong stomachs vigorous.

Boulder. Col. Nov. 27.-Surveyors are
at work laying out a CUTOFF for the

The new line will run north from
Superior, passing some distance north
of Marshall, and will turn west strik-
ing the old line two miles south of
Boulder. The new line, it is said will
cut off two miles and will avoid several
heavy grades. This will make the dis
lance from Denver to Boulder twenty
seven miles and will result in an ap-
probable shortening of the running
time.
