WILL ASK GOVERNORS TO ACT
New Minnesota Plan Against Northern
Pacific Great Northern Deal.

st. Paul, Nov. Ex-Governor Van
SAINT has decided to invite the govern
ors of all states having laws similar
to those of Minnesota, prohibiting the
consolidation of parallel and compel
ing lines of railroad, to join in a united
effort to defeat the Great Northern
Northern Pacific consolidation scheme.
These states include North Dakota,
Montana, Washington and Idaho.
No word in regard to injunction pro
ceedings has been received from At
torney General Douglas, and an extra
session of the legislature is now re-
garded as certainty by most Of the
state officials and members, as we'll as
by politicians generally who have Wis
tied the city.
With nothing but the report of the
tax commission to consider, there is a
question as to whether the extra SEES
sion would be called. but if, as many
lawyers contend, the present laws are
inadequate to deal with the railroad
problem, there will be no doubt about
an extra session. It may even be
called much earlier than the first of
February, the date when 1t was due
to meet for consideration of the tax
commission report

Safe Occupation.

Bridget, the pretty young maid of all
work employed in q Boston family
confided to her mistress when taking
service that she had lately become en-
gagged to be married. She stated, how
ever, that she and Tim would have to
wait two years, and in the meantime
she wished to be earning money.
When Tim made his first call one
evening" the family remarked that they
had never known so quiet a man. The
sound of Bridget's voice rose now and
then from the kitchen, but Tins words
were apparently few and far between.
''Tim is not much of a talker, is he,
Bridget" said the mistress of the
house the next morning. II should
scarcely have known there was any
one with you last evening"
Hell talk more when we've been en-
gagged a while longer, I'm thinking,
a'am,' said little Bridget. Hes too
bashful yet to do anything but eat,
ma'am, when he's wiG mev'-Youth's
Companion.

Alexander voolfolk Makes Elaborate
Preparations at Bloomington, Ills.
Bloomington, Ills, Nov. 25.-Failing
to control an appetite for intexicants
and becoming weary of the struggle,
Alexander nj. Voolfolk, a member Of
a good Chicago family, committed
suicide in this city. He obtained po-
sition as fireman on the Chicago and
Alton through the influence of his un-
Gle, Granville Browning. selecting this
road because of it's rigid rules against
drinking The young man found that
he could not avoid his excuses and
made but a few trips. Becoming de-
pressed, he purchased two bottles of
chloroform and made elaborate prep
arations to take his life. Two hand
kerchiefs were laid over his mouth and
knotted. He then drew a pillow slip
over his head, and, lying upon the
bed, saturated the three thicknesses
of cloth. He was found dead. In the
room were found tender letters from
his mother, the wife of Colonel A. M.
Voolfolk, retired attorney of Chi
cagO.

Fleeing De Haupassant.

It is said that the Norman peasants
hit upon happy scheme Of fleeing
Guy de Maupassant, who once main
tanned near his home at Etretat rab-
bit warren of few acres. They used
to plant choice vegetables and rare
shrubs in the adjoining fields, and ev-
cry year De Maupassant had to pay
for the damage done by his rabbits.
After a few years he got tired CT this
sort of thing. He computed that the
few rabbits he shot cost him about
$40 apiece, which was rather too much
even for an enthusiastic sportsman to
pay; so he determined to destroy his
game preserve. There were only four
or five burrows in the inclosure, and a
few ferrets soon disl0dged all the in
habitants.
One night after the rabbits had been
destroyed the writer happened to visit
his former preserve and detected a
man skulking along under the trees,
with large bag slung over his shout
der. De Maupassant supposed that the
man had come to steal wood and chal-
lenged hi1a. The supposed thief took
to mis- heels, leaving behind him his
bag, which was found to be filled with
rabbits of both sexes. The man was
an honest neighbor, who, shrewdly
reasoning that there could be no dam
ages if there were no rabbits, had
thought it advisable to restock the
warren himself

Smoking Under Water.

Says an expert swimmer:
It looks very strange to see a man go
under water with lighted cigar in his
mouth, smoke calmly at the bottom
and come to the surface with the cigar
burning as nicely as if he were smok-
ing in his easy chair. Apparently he
defies all natural laws, but of course
he doesn't.
It is a simple trick, but it requires
practice Just as I throw myself back
ward to go down flip the cigar end
for end with my tongue and upper lip
and get the lighted end in my mouth,
closing my lips water tight around it.
A little slippery elm juice gargled be-
fore going in prevents any accidental
burning of the mouth. Going slowly
down backward, lie at full length on
the bottom of the tank and blow smoke
through the cut end of the cigar. Just
as I reach the surface again another
flip reverses the cigar, and there am
smoking calmly. The reversing is done
so quickly that nobody notices it.

FLAVOR IN FOODS.
This Quality Is as Much q Necessity
as Is Nutriment.

This Quality Is as Much u Necessity
as Is Nutriment.
Chemists tell us that cheese is one of
the most nutritious and at the same
time one of the cheapest of foods. Its
nutritive value is greater than meat,
while it's cost is much less. But this
chemical aspect Of the matter does not
express the real value of the cheese as
a food. Cheese is eaten not because of
it's nutritive value as expressed by the
amount of proteids. fats and carbohy-
drates that it contains, but always be-
cause of it's flavor.
Now, PSYCHOLOGISTS do not find that
flavor has any food value. They teach
over and over again that our foodstuffs
are proteids, fats and carbohydrates and
that as food flavor plays absolutely no
part But at the same time they tell us
that the body would be una BILE to live
upon these foodstuffs were it not for
the favors. If one were compelled to
eat pure food without f1avors. like the
white of an egg, it is doubtful whether
one could for week at time consume
a sufficiency Of food to supply his bod
lily needs Flavor is as necessary as nu-
triment. 1t gives a zest to the food and
thus enables us to consume it properly,
and, secondly. it stimulates the glands
to secrete, so that the foods may be
satisfactorily digested and assimilated.
The whole art Of cooking, the great
development Of flavoring products, the
high prices paid for special foods like
Holsters and oysters-these and numer-
Gus other factors connected with food
supply and production are based solely
upon this demand for flavor. Flavor is
a necessity. but 1t is not particularly
important what the flavor may be. This
is shown by the fact that different peo-
pies have such different tastes in this
| respect. The garlic of the Italian and
the red pepper of the Mexican serve
the same purpose as the vanilla which
we put in our ice cream, and all play
the part of giving a relish to the food
| and stimulating the digestive organs to
proper activity.-Professo Ell. W. Corn

New York, Nov 22.-Dr. Charles f.

ance and care of Mrs Ida NJ. Flagler,
who has for a considerable period been
a patient in the doctors sanitarium
He was allowed $4,000 for his serv-
ices as committee of Mrs Flagler's

This was done upon the recommen-
dation of DR.. Macdonald that Mrs.

i'll which. in accordance with her in
come and the manner III which she
was accustomed to live, she could
maintain her own establishment. Mrs.
Flagler was until recently the wife

Justice Clarke, upon the application
of Charles F. Shourdes, Stephen
Shourdes and Mrs. Matte A. Johnson,
the two brothers and sister of Mrs.
Flagler, allowed them $4,000 year
each to be paid them out Of her in
come. The reason given for making
this allowance is that Mrs. Flagler was

that they, to whom the estate will re-
vert upon Mrs. Flagler's death, are in
need of an allowance from her estate.

Brasn-Food Nonsense.

Another ridiculous food fad has been
branded by the most competent authori-
ties. They have dispelled the silly no
tion that one kind of food is needed for
brain, another for muscles, and still
another for bones. A correct diet will
not only nourish a particular part of the
body, but 1t will. sustain every other part.
Yet, however good your food may be,
it's nutriment is destroyed by indigestion
or dyspepsia. You must prepare for
their appearance or prevent their com
ing by taking regular doses of Green's
August Flower, the favorite medicine of
the healthy millions A few doses aids
digestion, stimulates the liver to healthy
action, purifies the blood, and makes

ARRANGEMENTS MADE.
\ Deal Closed that will Benefit
Everyone in this Town.
Hereafter We Will be Sole Repre-
sentatiVes Of vinCI.

Vinol is attracting attention in every
large city in the country.
The best druggists in every place rep
resents VINOL.
They do this because they have inves-
tigated and become convinced of it's mer-
it's. It is this that has led us to get the
agency for this town.
We are happy to announce that we
have succeeded in our endeavors.
We were told that no proprietary med
icine has ever been so popular as VI
MOL. We have learned that the reason
for this is because VINOL is really an
old remedy, produced in a new form,
and is now altogether delicious and
doubly potent.
Vinol is a scientific tonic reconstruction
comprised of the curative principles Of
cod liver oil and little organic iron dis
solved in delicious table wine. That is
all - no oil-n grease - no disagreeable
features, but all the medicinal virtues of
cod liver oil and more.
There is no one living who will dis
pute the merits of cod liver oil as a re-
builder of the human system.
The trouble before has been that but
few people could take cod liver oil on
account of it's obnoxious taste and ter
rible odor.
With Vino1, however, everything is
changed. You will get every bit of the
good that was ever found in cod liver
oil and, best of ALL you will get this good
without a particle of grease to help re-
tard it's action.
The way VINOL accomplishes it's mis-
sion is better than it was ever possible
for cod liver oil to bring about the same
results. This is because the elements
needed are now in more highly concen-
trated form.
We are sure that all our customers
will like VINOL very much and we an
ticipate large and permanent sale for
it.
We also ascertained and wish every
one else to realize the fact, that VINOL
is not patent medicine. It is simply
new way of administering the curative
elements of cod liver oil.
We want all who are sick to call and
let us tell them about VINOL, we want
to convince our patrons that we have
been working in their behalf as we'll as
in our own, and we hope that everyone
of our fellow townspeople will appre-
ciate our enterprise in procuring the
agency for this popular medicine and of
being the means of bringing VINOL
here. We are glad we are going to rep
resent VINOL; to do this has caused
much rivalry in the large cities between
the best druggists, for only to the best
druggists in each place has this agency
been awarded.
If anyone buying Vinol of us is not
satisfied that it does all we claim. we
will refund the money that they have
this guarantee.

30 much, and where Americans love

Here surrounded by all these eli

which, like the lump Of leaven, has
worked until the whole surrounding
county has blossomed out into an
ideal city, whose growth during the
past few years has surprised its
most sanguine admirer. But with
the bright past there is even a
brighter future. and that, too, at no
distant day.
1t may be said without fear of
successful contradiction that no city
of equal size has witnessed such ac-
tivity in building circles, as has pre-
vailed here for the past three years.
But with all this energy exerted,
there is still a great lack Of homes,
and it is offalmost daily occurrence
that one orlmore families are unable
to locate here from the fact that
there aresno houses to rent. 1t means
something when the natural flow of
new citizens use up more buildings
, than Gamble erected under any con-
dition short Of boom. Such is the
true state Of affairs here, and now
~ II to increase the difficulty comes
an imperative order for from 40 to
SO additional houses, the erection and
completion Of which must be within
the shortest possible time.
The stranger will ask: why this
unusual demand? Well, to such the
REcoRD.will state that it is because
Of the!tpractical completion of the
Offices, ishops and round house for the
Canon City and Cripple Creek rail-
road in this city. To start these
works within the next 60 or 80 days
means that from 40 to 80 families
will be moved from other points along
the company's line to Canon City.
These families must be cared for.
otherwise President Frey will
not order the men to remove their
families, and as a consequence the
new works will be compelled to re-
main idle for some time yet.
How to meet this demand was
thoroughly discussed by number of
our prominent citizens and 1t was de,
termined to call public meeting for
last Saturday evening, to which all
classes Of citizens and especially the
various labor unions were invited.
