body, nartyrdom to the mind. The ir:.g.-
ular and painful periods of naidenhood
were looked upon as part of the common
lot of woman, and so, neglected. Wife

and the trial of motherhood left an indamed

pain; the other irritable, or respondent.

MAY ENTER cRIPPLE CREEK.
Santa Fe Said to Be Preparing to Ex-
tend to the Gold Camp.

bCAN4 W bA4O ~IOAO GcA4Rs
Pueblo, Aug. 11-Merely casual and
offhand announcement has been made
by the Santa Fee railroad that it will be-
gin at once to straighten it's line and
better the grades for some miles from
Pueblo north, but there are the best of
reasons for the belief that the cOnstruc-
ton of track up Dry creek is but the
forerunner of an advance by the Santa
F'e into the Cripple Creek gold district.
For months past emiSSarteS of the
Santa F'e have been quietly at work at
Cripple Creek and Victor and in that
vicinity endeavoring to ascertain what
amount of tonnage and what passenger
business would be accessible to a STAN
dard gauge air line into Pueblo, op-
Grated by one of the great systems of
the country, furnishing passengers
through coaches from Chicago and en-
abling the billing of supplies into the
camp straight through from as far east
as the great lakes. Reports have come
to Pueblo that all authorities estimate
that such a line would secure at least
three-fifthS of the business of the dis
trict. For years the Santa Fe has been
casting envious eyes toward the great
gold district, but there has been some
hesitation in order that time might de-
velop the permanency of the camp. This
has now been demonstrated beyond a
doubt, and it is reported here on the
best of authority that the ultimate pur-
pose of the change in tracks is to reach
Cripple Greek.

CARL BROWNE BOBs UP.
Gen. Coxey's Son-in-Law Speaks on
Streets of Fort Scott.

Fort Scott, Aug. 11.-CarI Browne, the
famous son-in-law of General Coxey, of
Coxey's army, has been in Fort Scott
for several days speaking on North
Main street from a buggy in which he
drove down from the Labor Exchange
colony of Freedom, near Fulton, this
talks socialism and relates interesting
incidents of his trip to Washington. To-
day he returned to Freedom.
Mr.. Browne is a unique character in
deed. He is a man of many rare talents
intellectual, original, educated by
wide experience. His latest novelty is
a flying machine which he has just IN
vented and for which he has applied for
patent. Being an artist of marked
genius he has drawn a pen sketch Of his
invention, illustrating, perfectly, its
plan. The principle of the machine is
founded upon rotary wings which op-
crate on something of the same rule as
the ordinary electric fan, except that
the wings are so constructed as to
carry the weight of the ship upon the
air. The ship is to be built of alum
mum and it is to be operated by liquid
air.
At present Mr.. Browne and his wife,
the daughter of General Coxey who is
now a millionaire in Ohio, are living on
an acre lot at the Freedom colony of
which they are members. They have no
income except from the product of their
labor in the colony and his lectures such
as he has been delivering on the streets
here General Coxey is said to have
made millions at mining and he is now
establishing a steel plant in Ohio, but
his daughter and son-in-law are quite
Independent of him. They attach no
value to wealth and have never received
any allowance from Mr.. Coxey. The
aggregate collection at last nights lee
ture was Is cents. Mr.. Brown is pic
turesque in appearance as well as char
acter. He is tall, medium weight, with
trimmed beard and long mustache and
wears a white SLOUGH hat with one side
of the brim pressed up close to the
crown on cockade style. His suit is of a
cheap linen fabric. AS a conversation
alist he is extremely interesting, his di-
versity of rare experiences have furnish
ed his mind with a store of interesting
incidents which he relates in a fascinat-
ing manner

Santa Fe and Colorado Southern
Tracks to Be Protected.

Denver, Aug. 1.-THE first extensive
system of block signals to be Inaugural
ted in the west will be introduced by the
Santa Fe railroad on its track between
Denver and Pueblo. This and other ex-
tensive improvement which include the
extension of passing tracks to length
which will practically make the road
two track system will be made as soon
as the pending trackage agreement he
tween the Santa Fe and Colorado &
Southern is signed. The improvements
also include several cut offs and the
strengthening of curves to reduce the
running time.
The improvements are prompted by
the increasing Importance Of local traffic
between Denver and Pueblo as well as
by a desire on the part of the Santa F'e

ROCK ISLAND BRIDGES.
Work of Replacing Wooden Struc-
lures in Kansas Completed.

The last of the iron spans which the
Rock Island has been building in place
of the wooden structures over small
streams at different points between Nc
Farland and Elnont, is being placed in
position today.
A force of men have been working on
these bridges since the weather opened
up last spring and have accomplished a
great deal.
Bridges have been put in at Elmont,
Valencia, Paxico, Maple Hill and Nc
Fa11and. They are all either 40 so
foot spans. This will complete the bridge
building of the Rock Island in Kansas

ROCK ISLAND INTERESTED.
Wants Hamburg Company to Run
Steamships From Galveston.

New York, Aug 1.-THE Rock Island
railroad is urging with the Southern Pa
cific people the resumption of direct
line of steamships from Galveston to
Europe. The Hamburg-American COM
pany, it is understood, is the one that
has been approached and the railroads
have presented a strong case in favor
of their proposition. Business could, it
is believed, be diverted from Baltimore
and more northern points, where the
Hamburg lines great rival is firmly es-
tablished.
The wheat alone is practically at the
control of the railroad in such Quanti-
ties as to insure profit to the steamship
company; with a fair guarantee OF
minimum amount of business it is be-
lieved the Hamburg people would be
