SURVIVAL of the EITTEST.


No trial is so inexorable as that of Time.
The counterfeit is discovered, the imposter
exposed, sham uncovered, fraud overthrow
the genuine, the best, the fttest, only
survive. DR.. Harter's Iron Tonic has not
only survived for half-a-century but pros
pered because it is the best blood purifier
and tonic in use. 1t is not q "shake well
before using" patent medicine, but o scien-
tifc remedy compounded Of the purest
drugs in one Of the finest Laboratories in
the world after the prescription Of DR.. n.
g. Harter-a graduate Of the University
of n. Y, and five other medical colleges.
Nothing but the purest drugs and ingredi-
cnts are ever used. As a result DR.. Harter's
Iron Tonic is everywhere recognized as a
valuable remedy, prescribed by physicians,
used in the best hospitals, and recommend
ed by the drug trade, wherever there is de-
bility, blood or skin disease, nervous dis
order, female weaknesses, etc. A half
century's trial has demonstrated that in
above cases and all diseases arising there
from, DR.. Harter's Iron Tonic is a true
remedy and cure.

Chicago, August Lying in the
grass of vacant lot and but a few
feet from the cable track of the State
street line, on which thousands of
people passed the place every hour,
the body of dead woman was found
today. The corpse was entirely des-
titute of clothing and none of the gar
ments were found in the vicinity. The
body was in such a condition that it
was impossible to tell whether or not
there were any marks which would
indicate vengeance The police are
firmly of the belief that the woman
was murdered and her body placed
where it was found tonight.

time, but succeeded in reaching part
of the men through an old stope and
eight dead bodies were quickly
brought to the surface. The mine is
filled with gas and smoke, and the
rescuers are afraid of afterdamp and
are unable to stay in the mine more
than short time. Mothers, wives
and children of the dead and impris-
oned miners are almost crazed with
grief, and the scene presented at the
mouth of the mine is a most pathet-
ic one. The powder house in the
mine, usually containing 1000 pounds
of powder, blew up, and 1t was this
which caused such great disaster
The general belief is that the entire
mine has been ruined and if not it
will take months to get it in work
ing order again.

rs yards. 1t is believed that he did
that so he could gain a position
where the men behind the rock would
be in full view His trail through the
wheat was a mass of clotted blood
from the starting point to the place
where he was found.
When he was seen this morning he
showed every evidence that he had
become exhausted from the loss of
blood. 1t is believed by those who
saw him that he had crept to the
place where he was found for the
purpose of again firing on the posse,
as he could easily see the men from
that point if they appeared above the
rock. 1t is believed that when he
reached that point he was completely
exhausted and was unable to use his
rifle any longer.
1t is thought that he had only suf-
ficient vigor to place the revolver to
his head and blow his brains out, for
when he was found the revolver was
still in his hand, and had only moved
sufficiently to let the barrel of the
weapon drop to the ground.

Earnings of Northern Securities Co


If railway corporations wish to con
vince state boards of equalization
that their property is of little value,
that they are barely earning enough
to justify the running of trains, and
that the steel rails, fish-plates and
spikes represent the total value of
the property, they should make ar
rangements to suppress the financial
papers at the season of the year
when boards of equalization meet to
assess such property.
In the July % issue of the New
York financier, the largest financial
paper in this country we find the fol
lowing:

Declared by the Santa Fe Against
Other Western Roads.
RATE OF 12 CENTS A HUNDRED
On Live Stock Between Chicago and
Kansas City-LoWest Rate Since
1895, When a Cut to Ten Cents
Was Made Between the River and
Chicago.

Chicago, August THE western
freight rate situation developed into
state of war today, when the Santa
Fe gave notice that beginning next
Monday it would carry live stock be-
tween Chicago and Kansas City for
II cents per 100 pounds. This is a
cut of 11.5 cents, and is the lowest
rate given on live stock since 1895,
when there was a situation similar
to the one now existing and when
the live stock rate between the river
and Chicago went to 10 cents.
