ssThe Bar"

A poet has said of the saloon that
it is appropriately called a bar:
a bar to heaven, a door to hell;
Whoever named it. named it well.
A bar to manlineSS and wealth,
A door to want and broken health
A bar to honor, pride and fame,
A door To sin and grief and shame;
a bar TO hope. a bar to prayer,
A door TO darkness and despair,
. A bar to hunored. useful life,
A door 10 brawling, SenselesS strife;
A bar to all that's true and brave,
A door to every drunkard S grave.
A bar To joys that home fmparts,
A door to tears and aching hearts;
Al bar to heaven, door to hell,
Whoever named it, named it well.

TRAINS TO LEAD VERY SOON
TracklRy I'M On Line Begin
and VIII He Pushed
Rapidly.

General Manager Bldweil of the Fremont,
Elkhorn & Missouri Valley railroad an
nounoed yesterday that tracklaying on the
extension from Deadwood to Lead City in
South Dakota began this morning. The
track will be down in ten days and trains
running into Lead two weeks hence.
This marks the final step In the compile
ton OF a bit Of railroad which, despite its
shortness, involved some fine points In en-
cheering and some stupendous propositions
In grading. Three and one-half miles OF
new road is to be built and the expendi-
ture Involved is $3.50, 900, which is at the
rate of more than 81 an inch.
The line was begun last October, immedi-
ately after the Burlington purchased the
Black Hills & Fort Pierre road. The Elk
horn had since 1889 run into Lead from
Piedmont over this road and when the Bur-
lington took it was compelled to build In a
line of its own or stay out of the town
where the Homestake mines are located
The maximum grade is only 2h per cent
which is very mild considering the prohlt
Of that country and the great differenc,
In the elevation of the two cities. The
total mileage between the two by tn,
Elkhorn tracks is five miles. For a mil,
and a half 1t follows the old narrow guak,
into the hills on a third rail standard guage
Then the new road begins, and for thre,
miles and a half to the Lead end there II
a constant succession OF huge cuts ant
enormous hlls. with no level ground, ant
everything practically solid rock. In al
l66, 900 cubic yards of rock and dirt wal
cut out. and 140. 900 cubic yards OF hlline
was done.
Completion Of this road was expected by
February 10, but contractors underesti-
mated the difficulties of the grading. and
this was not finished in time to avoid the
heavy spring SHOWS, which then set It back
greatly. Many hundred men and teams
have been employed on the Job all along
as II was a rush matter from the first.

III blood coursing through a rudy cheek
S-O clear, bright eyes, showing the
sparkle of health. A woman's features
may be irregular if the glow of health is
in her face. But a well formed mouth
emitting a foul breath, eyes that have lost
their %luster, cheeks scafred by lines of suf-
fering show the parts that health and sick
ness play. Thousands of women are bag
gard and unlovely today because female
suffering is dragging out their very lives.
Disordered menstruation causes aggravated
cases Of falling of the womb, ieucorrhea
and other female illness so fatal to woman
kind. Suppressed menses hold the waste
matter in the body and the blood becomes
impure. Profuse menstruation saps the
body Of its strength. Wine Of Cardui in
~stitutes a regular flow, throwing of the
impurities from the blood and stopping all
wasting drains. The terrible bearing
down pains are the result of irregular
menses and Wine Of Cardui will Danish
