it would cause NE great distress. l tried
several doctors but got no relief Was
advised by friend to write to DR.. Pierce,
which I did, and in few days I received
letter, advising ME to take his Golden
Medical Discovery and also his Pleasant
Pellets After l had taken only half

took three bottles Of the Golden Medical
Discovery and two walls of the Pellets

TROLLEY ROAD TO SHELeURNE.

ROAD mad Just been granted by tho town
OF Sh"lburne, but that it was too early to
say anything definite about its construc-

the liincsburSh road near the Home for
Destitute ChidCcn. if the authorities Of
the city will permit, if not the junction

especially at the Shclburre terminus
Wh"rc ii is estimated chat there is one
mile that will cost $1,000. The road will
be graded in the same manner as the
iilneSburgh road, the company believing
mat this is the more satisfactoC and less
expensive method in the end We eXpcct
that the property will be a paying one. ."
ne said, IF we did not we would not
build 1t. The route along which the road
runs affords some tine sites for residences
and with 1 trolley line operating cars at
convenient intervals there H. no reason
why many new homes should not be built.
1t has been estimated by some that in "A
few years there would be "A residence for
every 10 rods of the line. In regard to the
Ilncsburgh road, Gen, Avery SAID that the
work could not be- completed this fall on
account Of their inability to secure iron.
The force of men is being increased and
at the present time there are about 100
men employed in laying the rails and do
ing all other Wuc'k that is necessary, 50
that the road can be completed within 30
days after the frost is out OF the ground
next spring.

INJUNCTION GRANTED.
Restraining Rutland street Railway from
Extending Its Line.

Rutland VT, oct. GA temporary in
junction has Seen granted by Judge Tart
restraining the Rutland street Railway
from completing the extension Of its line
up West street to Merchants Row until a
hearing shall have been held. In 1894 the
railway company was granted permission
to extend its line to make a belt line on
the west side of the railroad tracks pass
ing over Park, Granger, Forest, Pine and
West streets. The exact location of the
tracks on these streets was left to be de-
tcrmncd later. This fall a dispute arose
as to whether the company should use the
middle or the side of the road in passing
through the tunnel under the railroads on
Pine street. The Board of Aldermen at
recont meeting voted, five to four. to
have the track located in the middle Of
Pine street on the strength of which tho
Railway company has laid its tracks in
the middle of the road as far as West
street 1t is understood that Mayor Rim
ley has filed with the city clerk his veto
of the resolution passed by the aldermen
and has notified the railway company of
his action. The city, therefore, through
the mayor, has asked for temporary in
junction restraining the company from
further extending its line, as the city char
ter requires that a written permit from
the city council be granted before any
tracks, poles etc, can be laid. In the bill
the city also asks that the railway COM
pany be perpetuallY enjoined from cccupv-
ing the middle of the tunnel, because that
would make II more dangerous for teams
passing through than If the track were
laid on the side. The whole trouble has
arisen from the dispute as to whether il
would be safer for the track to be laid in
the middle or ON the side Of the tunnel
1t now seems likely that no more work
will be done until this question is settled.

COLORADO A GOLDITE.
Some Very Interesting Figures
OF the Worlds Output.

The Kendrick Promotion Com
pany has compiled some interest
ing figures regarding the part Colo
RADIO plays as a producer of the
gold of the world The facts are:
THE total production of gold
from the mines of the world for
l06 years, or since there have been
any records of the same kept. is
S9,4S5, $4,000. The total produc-
ton of gold from mines of the
United States, since its discovery,
is given at 81, 235 1874, 100, of which
the eastern and southern states
have yielded $3l 100000, leaving
81, 203, 694, 1863 as the amount of
gold produced by the mountainous
country between Colorado and
California inclusive, the two states
mentioned being by far the largest
producers of the yellow metal; or,
in other words, the only partially
explored mountainous country has
produced in fifty years, or since
1913, when the discovery of gold
was made here, 239 per cent. or, in
fractional nun bers, one-fourth of
the total product of the world for
406 years. We first gave the above
comparative figures five years ago,
and have corrected them annually
since. The figures above seem al
most incredible, but are taken from
government statistics, with the eX-
ception of the last year, the figures
of which are not yet published Of
ficially, but estimated Nor is the
maximum yet reached by any
means. Each succeeding year will
simply serve to add a new record
to Colorado's gold output and to
the prosperity of the state. The
profits and safety of investment in
mining have increased in greater
ratio than the production.

TROUBLE THERE IS ENDED.

The officials are retieent about
occupation of Cebu, but Adjutant
General Corbin admits that Miller
was supposed to take that place
and establish himself there rs soon
as he had settled affairs mt Iloilo.
Members of the war department
think there will be no more trouble
there, and that Miller has already
gone to Cebu. 1t is their impress
sion that telegraphic communica-
ton has not been broken between
Iloilo and Cebu, and that when
the Americans rrrive at the latter
place dispatches will be sent to
Iloilo, and be forwarded from there
by steamship.
