SAYINGS and DOINGS
a Greof Enferprfsel-

James P. Mcdonald, New York
contractor, is the man selected to be
at the head of the great engineering
enterprise OF building railroad across
the Andees from Guyaquil to Quito,
Mr.. McDonald's experience in rail-
road building has been wide and va
ried. Many thousand ties have been
laid and many hundred miles of steel
rails fastened under his supervision.
Born in New York, he prepared for col
Iege in the south, and finally took his
degree from the University of Ten
nessee. The road from Guyaquil to
Quito, which he is now engineering, Ia
to be but 800 miles long, but the diff
hculties in the way make the task one
requiring unusual perseverance and
knowledge, and involving enormous
expense. Fully $25,0O0,000 will be re-
quiTed to carry this great project to
conclusion. Stone work and masonry
that it is necessary to use to a great
extent are largely responsible for this
heavy outlay. At MANY points along
the route the road bed will reach an
elevation of 1900 to $4,000 feet above
the sea level. Though there are at
present but 1900 men pushing the
work forward, this number will soon
be swelled by 5000 native Jamaicans,
with whom Mar. Mcdonald is now con-
tracing. Sixty-five hundred half-clad
natives diligently plying ak. hammer,
pick ana shovel will indeed be scene
worthy OF the Yankee push and in

Fighting Seals with Dynamite.

The seals and sea lions which infest
the mouth of the Columbia river have
created such havoc among the salmon
fisheries that a crusade with dynamite
is soon to be begun against them. The
animals are both shrewd and bold, and
it is said that seal will police a set
net with great regularity, and take a
bite out of the throat of every salmon
1t contains. Frequently when a fisher
man is taking his net into a boat and
is about to gaff a fish which is entan-
gled in the meshes, seal will rise and
bite its throat. The seal herds con-
gregate on a CERTAIN sandspit in the
mouth Of the river. and 1t is proposed
that dynamite mines be sunk in the
sand and connected with the main
land by wires. When the animals are
ashore the mines will be exploded.
Similar plans are laid for the destruc-
ton of the sea lions, which do not
gather with the seals.-San Francisco
Chronicle.

End of a Romance.

Mrs. Vita Passo, daughter of form
er Chief Justice Mulkey of the Illinois
Supreme court. asks for the dissolu-
ton of her marriage with Edward
Passo, ranchman at San Angelo, Tex.
They met for the first time in San
Angelo a year ago and the rich and
lonely ranchman fell in love with Miss
Mulkey. He showered her with pres
ents and attentions. She returned to
Metropolis and Passo followed with
frequent visits. One day they made
secret visit to Paudcah, KY, and
were married.
In a short time the bride awakened
to the fact that she had made a great
mistake But she said nothing at the
time, and her husband went back to
his ranch and built splendid house
for his bride.
Letters passed secretly between the
secretly married pair. Passo's breath

picking the polirlcians.
In Colorado, Wyoming and Utah
there seems to be a prevailing indif-
ference as to the election and its is
sues. The novelty has worn OF. and
it is estimated that not more than half
of the qualified women voters will go
to the polls this year. Two things,
however, the admission Of women to
the suffrage is given credit for ac-
complishing. The first is quiet and
order at and about the voting booths.
and the second is higher standard
of personal decency among the candi-
dates of all parties. Political bosses
claim that the women voters are actu-
ated by sentiment rather than by rea-
son, and that therefore they make it
hard to predict the outcome of an cleo
ton.
The women voters are most active
in Colorado. Mrs. I. G.. Clarke, presi-
dent of the Women's Democratic club
of Denver, is one of the best known
among the women politicians of the
state.

DRUNKENNESS CURED.

DR.. Keeley's Famous Cure for the Liquor
That drunkenness and the morphine
habit are thoroughly cured by the
treatment originated by DR.. Kelley
has long since been proven beyond a
peradventure. DR.. Keeley's theory
that alcohol and narcotic drugs affect
the nerve cells in such a manner that
the drug finally becomes a necessity
to them in order that they may per-
form their functions, is now generally
accepted by the medical profession.
The Kelley treatment restores the
nerve cells to a healthy condition, in
which condition there is no necessity
for alcohol or narcotics, and the crav-
ing which the patient experienced dis
appears.
The Kelley Institute of Kansas City.
Mo-, has administered this treatment
for nearly ten years, and there are, in
nearly every town in the southwest,
living examples of the transforma-
lions brought about by the Kelley
treatment as administered at this In
stftution. Hundreds of men and wo-
men have been placed under treat
ment as a last resort, their condition
having become such that their friends
despaired of their recovery, and ex-
pected nothing else but that they must
soon be confined in An asylum or laid
in the grave, and they have, after a
few weeks treatment been restored to
a surprisingly good condition OF health,
every vestige of the craving for stimu-
lants gone, and self-reSpect and self
confidence restored.
This Institute has for many years en-
joyed the reputation of being one Of
the best appointed and most success
full of the great system of Institutes
administering DR.. Keeley's treatment.

the union depot is certainly an ideal
