These are sweet words, but how much
pain and suffering they used to mean. It's
different now. Since Mothers Friend has
become known expectant mothers have
been spared much OF the anguish of child
birth. Mothers Friend is lniment to be
applied externally. 1t is rubbed thoroughly
into the muscles of the abdomen. 1t gives
elasticity and strength. and when the final
great strain comes they respond quickly and
easily without pain. Mothers Friend is
never taken internally. Internal remedies

VERY SLIGHT IMPROVEMENT IN
MRS. MCKINlEY'S CONDITION
SOME OF THE VERY BEST MEDICAL MEN OF THE COUNTRY CON-
suit At THE BEDSIDE OF THE PATIENT THIS MORNING. mo
IMMEDIATE APPREHENSION MANY ANXIOUS ENoUIRERs
AT THE WHITE H0USE-PRESIDENT TAKES AWALK

Secretary Cortelyou gave out the follow
ing statement timed 11:1S a. M:
"Drs. Rixey, SternberH and Johnston
were Joined by DR.. Osler Of Baltimore
in consultation at 10 a. m. and report
that Mrs. McKinley's condition Is as
favorable as could be expected. There
is no immediate apprehension and slow
Improvement ID looked for"
The statement that there Is no i'm
mediate apprehension, coupled with the
expectation for slow Improvement
caused some relief to the many anxious
inQuirers who called at the white house
for news from the sick room.
Secretary Hay called on his way to the
state department to inquire and Ambas-
sador Cambon came personally to offer
t. the president his sympathy and hope
for Mrs. McKinley's early restoration to
health. The president was distinctly
more cheerful after the physicians had
announced the result of their consulta-
ton and at 1880 o'clock went out for a
stroll through the white house grounds.

According to Vice President and Gen.
eral Manager Bancroft, the Oregon,
Short Line will in all probability begin
construction on the Los Angeles road at
the other end for the new line between
that city and Salt Lake city just as soon
as its plans have progressed far enough
to make that possible.
When asked concerning the report TO
this effect that has been in circulation
for couple Of days, MIR. Bancroft said:
Until we have definitely decided on the
route, we can not of course, do any work
at the other end of the line. But after
we have heard from our surveyors and 1t
is finally determined to what point the
Los Angeles line will run. it Is quite
probable that we will put men In the
field besides those now working south
west of Uvada. as it is undoubtedly the
company's intention to push through
without delay. However. we have not
yet reached that point where it is pos
sible to begin construction in California"
Concerning the papers filed by Attor-
ney Williams of Salt Lake city in
California, mention Of which was
made in tho dispatches recently,
Mr.. Bancroft said they were merely
copies of the articles of incor-
poIdtloH OI tne Juan. nevada " CALI
fornfa. the same as were filed in Me-
vada and Utah couple or three years
ago. 1t is necessary under the law to
file articles there as well as here before
the California state line is crossed.
The papers contain nothing additional
to what was printed at the time the
company was incorporated in Salt Lake.
The Utah & Nevada, as is well under
stood, Is sub comptny of the Oregon
Short Line.
The track is now laid to a point about
tWenty-six and half miles from Uvada,
Glover Valley Junction will be reached
before the. end of June. by which time, 1t

Is believed. something will be made
known regarding the route to be fol-
lowed.
Despite the denials of Senator Clark,
is is confidently asserted that his Los
Angeles, San Pedro & Salt Lake road
scheme has been abandoned. The asser-
ton Is made in confirmation of the opin-
ion that Senator Clark was supported
by ]. J. Hill and was practically carry
ing out the latter's plans.
As soon as it became morally certain
that the Hartman party had obtained
control Of the Northern Pacific, Senator
Clark became convinced he had no object
in continuing his work.
n His and Hills plan was to give the
Burlington an outlet from Lyons to Salt
Lake City, and thence to Los Angeles.
This was direct antagonism to Union
Pacific interests and when the Union Pa
scific became dominant in Northern Pa
cific affairs the enterprise collapsed.
Meantime the Union Pacific is pushing
Its extension from Salt Lake and Uvada
and at the present rate Of progress will
have it completed to Los Angeles within
year.
& J. r. Wharton, who Is closer to Sena-
ftor Clark on the railroad proposition
than any one in Butte, expressed his dis
belief as to the truth of the dispatch re-
garding Senator Clark's giving up the
much discussed Salt Lake and Los An
geles road.
My last instructions from Senator
Clark were to the effect that would not
be needed down there until the Salt Lake
end of the road was commenced. have
heard nothing of giving 1t up and I
most emphatically do not believe it. Still,
of course. it may be true, and we in
Butte be the last to hear Of it,.
1t is almost certain that Mr.. Wharton
will occupy position Of Importance with
the new road in case 1t Is built.
