THAT NEW RAILROAD.

For some past nothing has beer
heard of the proposed Florence, Victor
and Cripple Greek railroad, but that
doesn't indicate that those who have
the matter in hand have lain dowr
on the proposition 1t is still very
much alive, and not only Florence bu'
the people of the District are keeping
close tab on developments. To show
that the proposition is gaining ground
the following from the Victor Times
is published;
-. +. Collins, of Cripple Creek,
one of the ''brass collar" people of
the proposed new road from Florence
to this district, dropped down to Flor
ence this morning on business con-
nected with the new line.
''Although no comment is heard of
late respecting this project, work has
been progressing satisfactorily and .he
construction of the road seems all but
assured.
''The survey last made has been
adopted a. the line of the road--some
$l5, 900 having been expended in run
ming the lines.
''The road will be broad gauge
SO that freight and passengers can be
taken by the big lines without the in
convenience and expense of transfer
ring.
''The matter of financing the new
line will cause no trouble or delay,
it is said, and this important feature
of railroad building will be assumed
by either the Rock Island or the Santa
Fe-probably the latter.
If the work of constructing the
line is begun soon, as seems proba-
BILE, all lines of business in this can p
will receive new impetus.
And Victor aud Cripple Greek will
not be alone in receiving new
impetus. Florence will take
stack of the same colored chips.

100000 Immigrants.

New York, June 30-There is no
truer indication of natural prosperity
than the volume of immigration. AS
the conditions of prosperity III this
country have become more and more
pronounced during the last few years
there has been n steady increase in
the number of immigrants. Figures
for the fiscal year ending today at
Ellis Island show that nearly 800, 900
aliens have landed at this port, the
present month alone bringing more
than so, 600 from the various countries
of Europe. \ noticeable fact is the
increase in the number of Italian ar
rivals, due in all probability to the
unprecedented volume of railroad
construction, which employs large
numbers of the newcomers from King
Emmanuel's domain.

This is the last day of the rate war
that has been carried on by the Short
Line and the Denver and Southwest l.
ern since last November. 1t is alto
gether probable that the fare between
Cripple Creek and the Springs will be
raised from forty cents to 81. 30 foI
the round trip. If money has been
lost by the cut in the rate, it certain
ly will not require great length of
time to make it all back, and ther
some, at the price agreed upon by the
peace conference.

Many a hard working young woman
spends her noon hour in an endeavor to
get little rest to carry her through the
remaining hours of the day. She is
weak and weary, but she cannot give up
the occupation which supports her. She
must 90 back to the Office and the type
writer to the store and its duties, with
tiresome customers to wait on and ex-
acting employers to please.
For people who are weak and run
down there is no medicine so valuable as
Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery.
1t cures diseases of the stomach and
other organs of digestion and nutrition.
Many diseases in organs remote from the
stomach have their origin in a diseased
condition of the stomach and its allied
organs. When the stomach is uweakn
there is failure to properly digest and
assimilate the food which is eaten.
Hence the whole body, and each organ
of it, suffers from lack of nutrition, so
that as consequence Of "weak" stom-
ach, there may be weak" lungs, "weak"
heart, weak" or torpid liver, "weak
nerves, etc. BY curing diseases OF the
stomach and other organs of digestion
and nutrition, uGolden Medical Discov-
cry" enables the assimilation OF the
nutriment necessary for the requirements
of a healthy body. 1t increases the ac-
tivity of the blood-inaking glands, and
so increases the supply OF blood which
is the vital fluid of the body.
There is no alcohol in the "Discovery"

Germans Want to Know What They
Get Out of Eenry's Visit.

New York, March 1S.-In spite of the
official frown which general comment
upon the voyage of Prince Henry
brings down upon any paper, there APP
pears, says the Berlin correspondent of
the Herald to be a growing tendency
to refer to it and to ask what practical
result it has accomplished.
The hip, hip. hoorahing has been done,
and the handshaking is over. The prac
teal German is asking, We'll, what
are we going to get out of it?''
Agrarians storm away the harder.
They say Germany has done for Amer
lea; now it is the turn of America to
do something for Germany
The sober Taglich Runschau breaks
ground and writes about Americans
thinking Prince Henry was, to use the
Yankees favorite term, a democrat tic
prince To this that paper replies:
1.-The American it is we'll known
prides himself in a very remarkable
degree on the fact that he does not al
low himself to be bluffed by any one or
at any time. AS a member of a poker
nation he bluffs naturally. But today it
is an open secret that Prince Henry
bluffed his friends and hosts in quite
an extraordinary way"
The REeinische tphaliSche takes
the view that Germany is making her
self ridiculous in pursuing this sort of
a picnic policy" which does not come
within the realm of seriousness.

TOOK THE HINT.
Friend Told Him to Change His Food.

Once in a while one can serve a
friend and win a lifelong obligation by
a little food advice. This is worth while.
Very thankful 1 was to a friend for
his advice when he told me about
Grape-Nuts Breakfast Food at the time
was suffering My stomach trouble
originally came from neglect of colds,
which caused catarrh of the stomach,
then followed misery from dyspepsia,
headache, loss of vitality and flesh.
Last August a friend in discussing
my health said if 1 would change my
food and take Grape-Nuts instead of
any other food or medicine for one week
he would guarantee that / would be
greatly improved and feel like a new
man.
He was so positive that concluded to
try 1t and. as I said, I am exceedingly
thankful to him In weeks time I lost
the heavy, dead feeling in my head
nausea had ceased and the action of my
general system had greatly improved.
L have stuck fast to Grape Nuts Now
steadily improving. Grape-Nuts has a
most exhilarating effect on the system,
and makes one feel bright and alive as
though they were well nourished as a
healthy man should be.
The price of Grape Nuts is within
reach of all, but 1 consider it worth its
weight in gold" John Haywood, 1881

Mayor McAuIey of Dawson, asking for

Dawson. March 17.-Respecting the
widespread reports published in the
newspapers of the United States and
Canada of an alleged exodus of the peo-
pie from Dawson. and of alleged bust
ness panic in the city in the heart of
the Yukon district, United States Consul
Sailer has today authorized the follow
ing statement:
There is absolutely no truth what
ever in the rumors published. This Of
flee has been in touch with nearly all
the people who have left for lower river
points. and the number who have gone
this winter is about the sam as in pre-
viouS years. The statement that a bus
mess panic prevails in Dawson and that
the miners are DESERVING the creeks is
also entirely false. From personal in
vestigation I am able to say that the
business men of the community have
the utmost confidence in the future Of

Robert Banks, Imprisoned For
Shooting Craps, Paroled.
Given a Ten Year Sentence i'm
1885.
ODD INJUNCTION SUIT.
Kansas City Asphalt Row
Reaches Supreme Court.
Montgomery County Joint DAM
age Case Appealed.

Governor Stanley has paroled from
the penitentiary a man who has been
in prison nearly four years as a result
of little crap game in which he in
dulged in Hutchinson several years ago.
AS might be expected he is a colored
man. and his name is Robert Banks
Banks did not live in Hutchinson. He
was a stranger there when he stopped
off one day in 1898 on his way from
Colorado to his home in Fort Scatt- But
he struck up a speedy acquaintance
with two white men, and with another
colored man they engaged in shooting
craps. Banks appeared to have the
best "ainl," for he won all the other
mems money. They got mad about 1T,
and claimed that Banks had held them
up. He was given a speedy trial and
sentenced to ten years in the peniten-
tiary. Since then the facts have come
out and a number of influential people
have interested themselves in securing
Banks release. Grant Hornaday, the
Fort Scott financier, was among the
number who wrote to the governor rec
ommending that Banks be paroled. He
said he had known Banks and his fam
lily for a number of years, and had al
ways considered them good colored peo-
pie.
But Banks will probably shoot craps
no more.
An appeal in a peculiar injunction
suit has been filed in the supreme court
from Wyandotte county, in which one
paving company enjoins another from
paving a street. Kansas City, Kan,
wished to pave four blocks on Mime
sofa avenue. The petition for pavement
specified that the Warner-Quinlan brand
of asphalt should be used, and accord
ing to law nothing else could be used.
According to the decision of the Wyan-
dotte county court, this put the paving
entirely into the hands of an asphalt
trust. But the material specified in
the petition can be used in paving,
according to the Kansas law. When
the contract was let to do this particu-
uar job, among the bids was one sub
mitted by the r. f. Conway company,
and another by the Abbott-Gamble Con-
tracing company, two rival corpora
tions. The latter's bid was a trifie the
lower and it secured the contract and
began to ship its asphalt to Kansas
City. AT this point the Conway COM
pany went into court and asked for an
injunction against the paving of the
on the ground that the latter was I'M
able to secure any Warner uinlan as
phalt, because the Warner-Quinlan
company always did its own paving or
sold only to a few agents, among whom
was the Conway company. The Conway
company alleged that no. one else could
possibly procure Warner-Quinian as
phalt for paving in Kansas City, be-
cause it had the sole contract for paw
ing with that material there. To prove
its point it proved that a paving trust
exists and that no one else can get that
brand of asphalt under any circum-

TROUBLE SETTLED.
Northern Pacific Employees Are
Granted MANY Concessions.

ST. Paul, March 18-The committee
representing the dissatisfied trainmen
on the Northern Pacific road that has
been in session here for the past five
or six days, has completed its work.
The committee stated that the trouble
in Montana originated While the COM
nittee was on its way to st. Paul and
that the trouble there did not have the
sanction of any of the trainmenS
brotherhoods. The conference with the
committee held with Gener- Manager
Pearce resulted in the companies grant
ing many concessions to the men. The
committee represented all divisions of
the systems and all branches of train
operation. The trouble on the Rocky
Mountain division of the road, it is re-
ported, has all been settled and the
usual traffic will be resumed at once.

CHARGES AGAINST COyNE.
Chicago Postmaster Indicted Before
Civil Service Commission.

Washington. March 1S.-Charges have
been filed with the civil service COM
mission against Postmaster c. E. Coyne
of Chicago, alleging that he has made
numerous changes in the Chicago post
office for political reasons. The COM
plant is made by T. w. Whittier, for
merly superintendent of station of
the Chicago postoffice who specifies that
he was reduced from that position, pay
ing 1000 per annum to mailing clerk at
81 100 and that on refusing to accept the
change he was dismissed. He said this
action was due to his being a Democrat.
Mr.. Whittier alleges that Postmaster
Eoyne reduced nine other men in the
service on political grounds, seven of
being Democrats and the men appoint
ed TO succeed them being Republicans.
The complaint also charges that this
action was taken in tn interest of the
candidacy of Senator Mason for re-elec-
ton. Postmaster Coyne in reply alleges
the action taken against Whittier was
due to lack of harmony at the station
of which he was superintendent and
that he was personally repugnant to the
other employees and was dismissed on
account of INSTRUMENTATION and dis
obedience. The commission will investi-
gate.
