ATE THE RAILS.
Hungry Wolves Stopped Traffic on an
Early Northwestern Railroad.

| About 1872 one of the first railroad
OF the Northwest was built in the ter
ritory of Washington from WalIs
Walla to Wallula. along the banks O.
the Walla Walla river, and following
the general line of what Is now tht
Oregon Railway and Navigation Com
pany's road between those points. The
road was primitive affair, and was
bullt, owned and operated by DIR. Bak-
er, of Walla Walla. 1t had no Pull
man cars, chair cars or Buffet cars, and
the day coaches we're mostly platform
or Hat cars. Instead of having right
OF way the road had permission to go
through the fields of the farmers. Con-
sequently the road was not rapid
transit one, as the train hands had to
get off and lay down the rail fences and
put them up again after the train had
passed through.
The roadbed was constructed by lay
Ing crosstles six or eight feet apart,
and on those laying wooden stringers
for rails. The heavy traffic over the
road caused the rails to wear in spots
80 that train wrecks and smashups
were OF daily occurrence. These were
not serious, for when the train crew
saw a wreck coming their way they
would hop off and let it wreck.
The annoyances, however, soon be.
came detrimental to the interests of
shippers. SO the owners had to devise
some means of overcoming the diff
ficulty. Rails of standard railroad iron
were out of question. as they had to be
shipped 1.-THE Horn around" and
freighted by wagon quite distance.
Strap iron could not be had. The doc.
tor. with Yankee shrewdness, finally
hit upon the happy idea of substituting
for strap iron. Cattle were
plentiful and rawhide cheap, so the |
doctor soon had his track layers at |
work putting the rawhide on the wood. |

the dry weather.
The Winter succeeding the laying of |
the rawhide track was severe one for |
that part of the country. The snow |
lay on the ground for several weeks |
The wolves were driven from the |

skirmished for living as best they |

are not afraid of germs. Yet the germ Is a
real danger. IT this microscopic animalism
could be magn1fied to size in proportion to
its deadliness it would show like a giant
python, or fire breathing dragon. The one
fact to remember is that the germ is power
less to harm the body when the blood is
pure. 1t is far easier to keep the germ out
than to drive it out after it obtains hold in
the system. DIR. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery is the most powerful and perfect
of blood purifying medicines. 1t increases
the quantity as well as the quality of the
blood, and enables the body to resist dis
ease, or to throw 1t off If disease has obtain
ed footing in some weak organ. Wherever
the digestion is impaired, the nutrition of the
body is diminished, for the blood Is made
from the food which is eaten, and half dig
ested food cannot supply the body with
blood in quantity aad quality adequate to
it's needs. For this condition there is no re-
medy equal to Golden Medical Discovery"
1t cures ninety eight out of every hundred
persons who give it a fair trail. When there
is constipation Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets

How to Pronounce Roosevelt" !"

just how to pronounce the name o.

great many people. His name has

print, and Americans. when they first

Bonaparte changed the spelling of his
name, and there are some purists who
excite amusement by still spelling it
"Bonaparte" and pronouncing it ac-
cordingly.
But for man of world wide fame,
as the President of the United States

has never before been case like that

Sad Experience of a Stage-Struck Girl.
ss O
 Toledo, O.

There is perhaps no one so much de- serving of pity as the stage-struck girl. Like the slave to liquor, or the opium fiend, she will go to almost any length to break into the profession, for which she believes herself eminently fitted to grace, and which has fascinated her to the verge of insanity.
 Generally speaking, however, the stage-struck girl strikes the cold, hard rocks of adversity and comes to poign- ant grief early in her career. Such was the experience of well-respected young lady of Phoenix. When the Carnival company was in Phoenix 8 few weeks ago two young men, known as Scott and Collins, connected with the company, became acquainted with the girl, and playing upon her weak ness, enticed her away from gooc home and loving parents, by painting glittering pictures of successful stage career. She proved an easy victim and went with them to Prescott, where after suffering many indignities, sht was left stranded. She has since re turned to her home entirely disillu stoned, and thoroughly cured of he mania. Scott and Collins were tried found guilty of enticing girl ava. from home, and are now serving 15 days each in the Prescott jail.

Tragedy at GiIa Bend.

Word reached this city last Sunday that an Indian known as MateO was shot and killed at Gila Bend by E. G. Carruthers, storekeeper of that place, on Saturday afternoon. Sheriff Tru- man of Pinal county and Carruthers were trying to arrest the Indian. who attacked Carruthers with an axe; the latter shot in self defense. It is thought that this is the Indian who killed the pumpman, Ross, at Maricopa last week, and also murdered old man Walz near Gila Bend November 30th. Walz was shot through the heart and his house burned, partially cremating the body The motive for the crime was thought to have been robbery. The murder ot Ross was cruel and unprovoked.

The Kind of Seeds That Yield.

Like everything else there are good seeds and bad seeds. Seeds that grow and seeds that don't grow; seeds that yield and seeds that don't yield, and a little thought given now to the selec- tion of the seed you'll need, will be found time we'll spent, though realized much better at the harvest if you se- lect the world-famed Ferry's Seeds the kind that always yield. For nearly half century Feray's Seeds have been known and sown wherever good crops are grown, until farmer and gardener alike, have learned to depend upon their wonderful reliable growing and yielding qualities, year after year, to the exclusion of all others.
 Unfortunately the seed business seems to afford means for many un' scrupulous people, who aim to blind the unwary to quality, through little ness of price and bOastful claims; who in reality have nothing to substaniate their claims, no reputation at stake, nc past record as proof. It is better tc pay little more for the seed and be assured of a great deal more at the harvest by sowing Ferry Seeds. The 1903 Seed Annual which is sent free postpaid, will be found unusually in teresting and instructive. Write fol it to-day. Address, D. NJ. Ferry & Co. Detroit, Mich.

It will be good news to the mothers of small children to learn that croup can be prevented. The first sign Of croup is hoarseness. A day or two be- fore the attack the child becomes hoarse. This is soon followed by pe- culiar rough cough. Give Chamber lain's Cough Remedy freely as soon as the child becomes hOarse, or even after the rough cough appears, and it will dispel all symptoms of croup. In this way all danger and anxiety may be avoided. This remedy is used by many thousands of mothers and has never been known to fail. It is, in fact, the only remedy that can always be de- pended upon and that is pleasant and safe to take. For sale at Cotter's drug | store
