LIEUT.. MABEL C. HUNT.
a Bright Salvation Army Lassie, Who
Knows How to Keep Her Corps
In G;nnd Health.

in Good Health.
Ogden, Utah, Jan. II, 1901-(Spe-
cial.)-The Pacific Coast Division OF
the Salvation Army, whose noble work
in the interests of fallen humanity has
done so much for this western country,
has its headquarters in this city. One
Of the brightest and most enthusiastic
workers is Lieut. Miss Mabel Clarice
Hunt Everyone knows how these de-
voted people parade the streets day or
night, exposing themselves to all kinds
Of weather, that no opportunity may
be lost of Tescuing some poor unfortu-
nate from sin and suffering In some
cases. their recklessness in thus expos
ing themselves has been commented
upon as almost suicidal. Their answer
to such criticisms invariably is their
unfailing faith in the Divine injune-
ton to do right and fear not" Lieut..
Hunt explains one of the means she
employs to keep her Soldiers" in good
health, as follows:
Il have found Dodd's Kidney Pills OF
great value in cases of Kidney and
Liver Trouble and Diseases contracted
from severe colds. Several of our lads
and lassies have been repeatedly ex-
posed to cold weather and rain, ana
have spoken for hours out of doors,
often with wet feet and chilled to the
marrow As a consequence Of this ex-
posture, Pulmonary Trouble, Rheu-
matism and Kidney Disorders often en-
sue. In such cases 1 always advise
Dodd's Kidney Pills, for I have no
ticed better results, quicker relief, and
more lasting benefit from the use OF
Dodd's Kidney Pills in such cases than
from all other medicines 1 know of
combined They cleanse the blood,
regulate the system and destroy dis
ease
A medicine which can do what Lieut.
Hunt says so positively Dodd's Kidney
Pills do is surely worth the attention
of all who suffer with any form OF
Kidney Trouble, Rheumatism. or Blood
Disorders.

RAILROADS SPARR|NG FOR
Right to Build Into Kiowa-Coman-

BOTH WANT TO BE FIRST.

Washington, Jan. IA warm con-
test is on between the Denison &
Northern and the Oklahoma & West
TO build fifty miles of road in the Choc-
taw country, in order to reach the
Kiowa and Comanche reservation to
take care of the business when that
reservation is opened to settlement.
Both roads have representatives here
competing for the right of way, and
several hearings have already taken
place before the secretary of the inte-
rior. The Oklahoma & Western road is
represented by President Gowen and
Judge Stuart. The Denison & North
ern road was granted a special charter
about 1885, but has allowed the charter
to lapse three times. The Oklahoma
obtained its charter under the general
law, and sets up the claim that mas
| much as the secretary has already re-
| newed the charter of its competitor 3
times, the department is not justified
in extending it again. Both companies
have fled maps showing the location
road has filed affidavits that it has com
| pleted survey of the route and that
| the Denison line sent out small party
in buggy and stole the field notes of
| its rival The claim is moreover made
that the law prohibits the paralleling
! of lines within an area of ten miles and
that the final renewal of the Denison
companys charter expires in June. It
was held at hearing that the Okla
homa road is acting in good faith and
that the public good would be best
subserved by granting it the right to
build this extension. Another hearing
| will be held on the 21st. The present
hearing was on questions of law and
the case will next be heard on the
| questions of facts.
