To Build a Railroad in Stats
OF Idaho.
MIR. JENNINGS RETURNS
From a Visit 10 the Clearwater
The Country will Soon be Fully
Developed in That Locality.

Among the passengers on the Northern
Pacific last night from the west was Mr..
Jennings of the firm of Jennings 4 Karl
man, extensive contractors. MI. Jen-
nigs has Just returned from Idaho. where
he received a large contract on the Clear
wat ter branch of the Northern Pacific
railway, near Lewiston, Idaho, from the
original contractor, Tom Greenough OF
Missoula. The line on which he received
the contract is being constructed from
Lewiston up the Clearwater toward the
Bitter Root mountains and Lo Lo pass.
The Clearwater is quite a large stream.
on which a small steamer has been
launched and will be used during the
construction of the railroad to haul sup
plies to the camps up the river. About
Is miles of rails a already been laid.
About 100 miles of the road, more or less,
will be completed this year. At Lewis
ton and on the lower Clearwater is a
garden of Eden. with all kinds Of vegeta-
ton. Grass is four inches high, potatoes
are up, %ranchers are cultiVatins their
strawberries; the whole country is a
fower-bed and the grading outfits feed
their horses on green grass. Lewiston is
a lively place. That country is a cheap
place for labor, the men being paid S1.l5
per day working on the construction, and
board themselves at $4.75 per week. The
country is Hooded with men, who ship
on the railroad from Spokane to work on
the construction. and when they get to
the end of the road jump their contract
and start for Buffalo Hump. That place
was pointed out as being So miles ava
from a certain point on the Clearwater,
some 20 miles above Lewiston. The
mountains around Buffalo Hump are full
of snow and all the streams are raging
torrents, so that one canno get either
in or out. Fully a thousand men must be
at Lewiston and along the Clearwater.
waiting to get in, and many are coming
away Disguised. The railroad company
has a locating party on the headWaters
of the Clearwater, which is credited with
being engaged in looking for a desira BILE
pass through which to run the road across
the Bitter Root mountains. Mr.. Jennings
say they will ship a large grading outfit
out there at once, where they have an all
summers job. They will retain a work
ing interest in Montana, where they nave
some unfinished contracts. and are eX-
pecting new ones. but he would not state
what or where they We're.

LIVERY OF

Pittsburg News: A trust has no soul.
A pottery trust has been organized. 1t
sent appraisers to the factories that are
in it for the purpose of fixing the value
of them. One of these factories was
owned by a good man out in Ohio. To
keep his workmen in the narrow path
he tackled up in all Of the working rooms
about the pottery quotations from the
Bible to prove that it was better to be
good than otherwise.
If a trust had q soul, these quotations
might have made an impression on the
appraisers, but being a part of the soul
less corporation, they refused to even in
clude them in the assets of the plant. The
owner of the pottery was taking them
through the works and they We're mark

SHE HAD "A DREAM.
SAW THE HOUR OF DEATH ON THE DIAL,

This is her story the true story of a
well known resident of Springfield. She
believed, as so many women believe, that
fate controlled her life, her fortune, and
her future. She had been unhappy a long
time. She had suffered a long time. She
had vainly sought. help here, there, and
yonder. Day distressed her. Night no

grew pale, %fretful, haggard and tired of
life. She drifted, drifted On into that wild
erness of wonan's woes that has driver
thousands Of her suffering sisters to the
verge Of e lf-destruction. Finally she came
to look upon death alone as a source of
relief. She hoped for it longed for it.
She courted the fateful hour One night

che awoke with a start. She dreamed that
when the hand IN the dial of the clock
should point to the third hour of morning
she would die. Often she had suffered
agonies and wished for death, but now--it
was SO sudden, SO near, so very near In
that moment life became inexpressibly
dear. How long had she to live? With a
cry she sprang from her bed and ran to the
clock. It lacked ten minutes of three.
Only a few minutes more of life With
frenzied haste she grasped the hand of the
clock and pushed it back, back, back from
the fateful number. Then she stopped
and almost swooned-but no, the tick of
the clock should not make a coward of her.
She would die at the fated hour-fate had
decreed it, but a few moments still re-
NAMED. In that time she would take
leave of those dear to her. Rushing to
her writing desk she seized her pen and
attempted to write a note of farewell. It
was useless. Words failed her. The blank
sheet swan before her. Despairingly she
turned her eyes from it to a newspaper that
lay near at hand. In an instant her gaze
riveted on the letters which were therein
printed from Mrs. Anna Tuggle, of Cherokee
City, Ark, Mrs. Emma Snyder, of Arnes,
Iowa, and Mrs. White of Stony Creek, NY.
The reading of these letters brought new
hope, new desires to live. She would
make one more effort. She also would
turn back the hand of fate and become a
healthy, happy woman. That very hour
she began the struggle. That very morn
ing she began to use DR.. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription, and today there is no happier
woman-no happier wife and mother-in
all Springfield. This one woman is a type
of thousands h suffer and submit in
silence to the appalling fate which they,
too, consider inevitable. For them all there
is hope. For them all there is help.
Let them resolutely turn back the hand
of fate, that, according to their over
wrought imaginations, is stretched out
against them. Many a woman to-day is
suffering constant pain, and sees the land
of death on the dial of time, who could be
saved to a useful, happy life, if by some
means her attention could be drawn to
the wonderful cures of wonlan's ailments
wrought by DR.. Picrce's Favorite Prescrip-
ton, The difference between DR.. Pierce's
treatment and all others is the difference
between
EXPERIMENT EXPERIENCE.
A woman naturally slrinks from the
experimental treatment which involves
qu~estionings and examinations that ate
repugnant to her d~elicacy and offensive to
her modesty, and which at best result in
mental misery and physical patchwork.
And so she silently eudures her suffering
rather than submit to examinations and
local treatment.
Wonders are worked by DIR. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription. Nature is always
struggling to build up the wasted and wxE
system. But she cannot make bricks with
II straw. The "Favorite Prescription"
supplies the material that nature can use
to repair the waste of the system and re-
new the vitality of the debilitated organs.
When this is accomplished health comes
along natural channels aud to stay.
