Headache may be called n woman's
ailinent. Some men suffer from it. But
almost all women have to endure its pain
with each recurring month. This fact
points at once to the intimate relation
between the health of the delicate
womanly organs, and the general health
of the whole body Or. Pierce's Favor
ite Prescription banishes headache by
banishing its cause. 1t cures the dis
cases which irritate the delicate womanly
organs, fret the nerves and waste the

1t Skins the Cream.

The cream of anything is the best of
anything. That is what the Minneapo-
lis Journal, by it's large corps of special
correspondents in New York, Chicago,
Montreal, Boston and other cities, takes
from the special news service of the
leading eastern and foreign newspapers,
as supplementary to its reports of the
Associated Press, the greatest world
wide newsgathering agency in the world
This, in effect, gives The Journal cor
respondent in every quarter of the globe
and access not merely to the special
news tervice of one big eastern daily. Of
which some Of its Minnesota contempor
aries boast, but to the best that they all
have. For proof of this see the columns

AS stated in these columns a few
weeks ago, Steele county will soon have
a railroad-one that will probably do
the country some good. The following
dispatch from Fargo on Saturday, says:
ut may not be generally known that
some Of our citizens, together with east
ern capitalists, have been quietly at
work for some time to secure another
railroad for Fargo. Incorporation pa
pers we're sent to the secretary of state
today, incorporating the Fargo, Duluth
& Northwestern railroad.
1t is proposed by the projectors Of the
enterprise to first build southeast, inter
secting with the various roads in that
direction. AS soon as that is completed
the road will be extended in a north.
westernly direction through the coun
ties Of Cass, Steele, Traill, Nelson, Ram.
sey and Cavalier, to the international
buundry. When that is completed it is
promised to build from Fargo to Duluth
thereby opening up new lumber, stock
and farming country that will be tribu
tary to Fargo, and at the same time give
the shortest line possible to the head o.
the lake. This will give our wholesale
trade just the road they have been wan
ing for some time and will assure t
Fargo the commercial center of th'
northwest.

VAST ESTATE TIED UP.
Beuuests in the Vanderbilt Testa-
nent Will Not De known for
a Month or More.

Cornelius Vanderbilt's vast estate
must. remain tied up hard and fast un-
til Alfred Vanderbilt, his second son,
can arrive home from Japan.
For four weeks, therefore, the mil
lions bequeathed by the head of the
house will be legally without master.
Until the will has been probated the
executors will have no authority and
no person will have power to sell a share
of stock, to pay a debt of the estate or
contract an obligation upon it.
Assuming that the estate will amount
to $1o0,000,oOO, and that it is devised
to the direct heirs, it VIII pay an in
heritance tax to the state of 81 100000,
of which one per cent, or $4,000, will
go to Comptroller Bird S. Coler to COM
pensate him for the cost of collection.
Another tax upon the estate will be col-
lected by the collector of internal rev.
enue as a war tax, and will be paid
into the treasury of the United States.
The law provides for percentage of
2A on bequests of 81 100000, or one-half
of one per cent. on legacies to nephews
and nleces and 10 per cent. on Dequests
to other than blood relations. If the
estate is s1oo,OOo,ooo, therefore, the gov
ernment tax will be at least So 500, 900,
so that to the state and nation So, 500 900
will be paid before the property is 3i-
vided. The sum that will actually BE
paid may reach $4,000,000, as the state
collects five per cent. on collateral be-
quests. This will probably be the
largest tax ever levied on an estate in
this country.
New facts in regard to Mr.. Wander
bits private charities, concerning
which he always observed the greatest
secrecy, are becoming known. Senator
Depew said that he probably dispensed
$500,000 a year in these benefactions.

an even temperature by lamps placed
beneath. One day, just as the picture

In the light Of Cripple Creeks past

back TO 1898, when the precious metal
product OF the state was but 81. 00O.-

COURT OF CLAIMS APPOINTMENTS.

There is more truth than poetry in
he statement of f. +. Bishop at the
Chamber of Commerce meeting that, in
making selections for office, lawyers
appoint lawyers. Looking sideways at
Boards Of Health, it might be added
that. as far as possible, doctors ap-
point doctors. The process is a per-
sectly natural one but it almost always
works injustice and has apparently
done so-and not for the first or the
.iftieth time in Hawaii-in fixing the
membership of the new Court OF
Claims.
The Advertiser does not care to dis
cuss the Court from an individual
standpoint. The question OF persons
is another story" But it Is a sound
proposition that the Court ought TO
have three business men and two law
yers or. as second choice, two business
men and three lawyers, and that no
member of il should have large pri-
vate interests at stake in the decisions.
These are perfectly fair propositions
and We feel surprise. in common with
the rest OF the community, that they
were not observed when the members
of the Court of Claims were selected.
But perhaps il is not too late TO repair
the error.
Generally speaking, much trouble
might be avoided by the appointive
power il it would give some clue in
advance of the names il may be con-
sidering for important posts. The GUS
tom is to decide upon appointees in
executive session and then railroad
them through. We had an instance of
that method awhile ago in Board of
Health proceedings and the unherald-
ed choice of the present membership
Of the Court of Claims was another.
The Advertiser submits that the way
is wrong. though 1t probably saves the
appointive power some personal both
or with applicants. In the conduct of
the Federal Government, If important
posts are to be filled. the names of ia
vorites are always permitted to leak
out for discussion in the press. In that
way the Executive is able TO learn, be-
fore committing himself, how given ap-
pointments would be taken by the
public. Cleveland profited by the
method when he was considering Mil
iionaire Van Allen for ambassador to
Italy. The storm the mere suggestion
caused kept him from making a griev-
Gus error. Mckinley took the people
into his confidence about the appoint
ment of Elihu Root for Secretary OF
War and the public response convinc-
ed him that he had found the right
man TO succeed General Alger. Why
cannot the Executive OF Hawaii adopt
this plan? Why make unexpected ap-
pointments and thus challenge harsh
criticism after the event?
