Wretched Hot Weather
Sufferers.
Paine'S Celery
Compound
SHOULD BE USED IN JULY
AND AUGUST.

The extraordinary variable spring and
early summer weather of the present
year has been the cause of vast
amount of sickness in every part of
our country. Strong men and women
have been victims; the weak, rundown
and sickly have suffered intensely, and
many families now mourn the loss or
near and dear ones.
The nervous, weak, rundown and de-
bilitated should now devote their best
energies and attention to health build
ing, so as to enable them to withstand
the enervating effects of the approach
ing hot weather.
The use of Paine's Celery Compound
will soon bring a return of true physical
strength: the nerves will be fed and
braced; the blood will be made purer
and richer; digestion will be corrected,
and sweet, refreshing sleep will take the
place of insomnia and irritability.
Paine's Celery Compound is doing
marvellous work for the sick and suffer-
ing at this time. 1t is the only prepara-
ton that possesses value and virtue for
recruiting the strength and spent en-
orgies of weakly and sick people in
summer time. The trial of one bottle
will give you happy results.

RAILROAD NEWS.
Two Companies to Build Alaskan
Railroads.
One Will Extend About 500
Miles Inland.
PLENTY OF MONEY.
Milli0naires of Montana Are
Backing the Road.
The Other Line Will Cost Only
100000.

The attention of railroad men has
been attracted to far away Alaska by
the announcement almost slmultane-
ously of two railroad building plans
and which will involve some of the cost
lest construction work of recent times
One of these projects is that of the
Alaskan Central, which will extend
from the coast Of Resurrection bay
northward for about 500 miles to Ram
parts on the Yukon river. Several pai-
ties of surveyors are now going over
the preliminary route and marking out
the line which the graders and track
layers are to follow
The Alaskan Central is being pushed
largely by Montana men, and it is now
announced that F. August Heinze. one
of the mi1lionaires of the copper crowd
of Butte and the president of the United
States Copper company, has taken
large interest in the company. He mas
been known to the world as the leader
Copper trust, He is credited with the
possession of a fortune of 500, 100000 He
is only about 80 years Of age and has
made his own way in the world.
Another Alaskan railroad project IS
the Yukon railroad, which is TO be
belt line of IS miles and connect Daw-
son City with a number OF the richest
mines in that section. On the latter
road the passenger service will be
matter of minor Importance and the
equipment will be designed for trans
porting the ores from the mines and
carrying in the supplies that the miners
need
This Yukon road will be a costly piece
of property, and the building, it is esti-
mated will require about 100000. II
the much longer Alaska Central is to
require anything like a porportionate
expenditure the Montana capitalists
will find place for an immense amount
of money before they are through. The
cost of transporting freight and pas
sengers into and out of the mining
country of the interior Of Alaska, how
ever, is so great that railroad tariffs
that would be considered ruinous in the
states will be hailed as heaven-sent
blessing by the residents of that section.
This activity in railroad construction
in the gold fields Of Alaska has given TO
that section standing as the basis OF
permanent and profitable business that
it has not had heretofore. The Alaska
Central not only proposes to tap the
gold fields and bring these and their
products into close touch with the
markets of the states, but it will open
out for profitable working the coal and
timber lands of the region to be ravers-
ed.

INJURIES THE BOILERS.
Claimed That Oil Burning Locomo-
tives Will Prove Unsatisfactory.

The Ell Paso Times says:
"A gentleman, who has just arrived
from Tucson, says that the oil fuel be-
has not proven the great savings as an
ticipated. 1t seems that the California
Oil quickly destroys the life of the boil
er, requiring frequent and expensive re-
pairs, that it costs quite a good deal to
supply, and that when repairs and 9TH
er items are considered it is found the
cost of oil as fuel is considerably more
than coal was.
1.-THE gentleman states that the Texas
oil, he understands, is not so objection
able, and that it costs less than the Cal
ifornia variety. Local railway men say
the experiments here are as yet too re-
cent to be able to make comparisons"

Information Probably Accounts For Reports of Edwards Sudden
Illness and Equally Swift Recovery Scotland Yardg
Men Will Furnish No information

T ONDON, June IA sensational
story is current in London tonight
Of the discovery of a plot to as
sassinate King Edward. This story has
created much discussion in newspaper
ana other circles, but il is lacking in
anything like official confirmati ton.
According to the current report. King
Edwards sudden illness at Aldershot
was not due to cold. but was merely
an excuse for Withdrawing his majesty
from public functions, owing to the
discovery by Scotland Yard of a plot
against his life. The principals I'm this
plot have not yet been arrested.
IL is cited in confirmation of this
story that King Edwards recovery.
when he was enscOnced at Windsor
castle, was as complete and speedy as
his attack had been sudden.
On the other hand, it must be pointed
out that if his majesty's illness was
merely diplomatic. the officials certainly
took a great deal of trouble in keeping
up the fiction. Sir Francis Laking

summoned by telegraph to Aldershot his
prescriptions were hurriedly filled. and

The land Office was the scene Of more
