DR.. Niles Heart Cure
Cured Me.

The terrible after effects of LaGripre are
most dangerous when they attack the heart
the engine of life. Weak hearts are as COM
mon as weak stomachs and when an attack is
made upon the weak heart, that organ soon
becomes adiseased heart and the patient will
unless promptly treated, suffer long and
eventually die Of heart disease, the dread of
millions. Dr. Miles Heart Cure strengthens
and regulates the hearts action, enriches the
blood and improves the circulation.
"Some years ago l had an attack of the
grip, and it left me with very weak heart,
Palpitation, shortness Of breath and smother
ing spells that made me sit up in bed TO
breathe, robbing me of sleep, made me most
miserable: | would become fatigued and
exhausted from the least exertion and was
in such critical condition that | could not
attend to my business. My physician seemed
unable to control my case, and instead of
getting better l was gradually growing

with the remedy until had taken in all six

OVER The DAM
Chas. Thomas Drowned Late
Thursday Afternoon.
Slipped and Went Over DAM Unable
10 Swim Ashore.
Had Worked on River Practically All
Of His Life.

| A sad drowning accident occurred
yesterday afternoon, shortly after )
O'Clock. Four men, Levi Cyr, Charles
Thomas and Joseph and Thomas Pei
tier had been working on top of the
kennebec dam, taking off fiushboards
and putting them on again and having
| finished work, We're just starting to
walk ashore from a point about $50
feet out from the west shore of the riv-
err.
Joseph Peltier, who just then, was
watching Thomas, saw him slip and
fall, struggling to his knees and then
roll sideWise over the dam. Cyr was
back to- at the time, and heard Peltier
| shout: Charles has gone over"
Cyr looked, but it was some seconds
before he saw Thomas appear above
water and he Immediately called to
| some men who were working by the
pulp mill to bring a boat. The noise
of the river made it impossible for
| them to understand what was wanted
but they saw that one of the four on
the dam was missing and rushed for
| the boat
| Meantime, Thomas, who was heavily
weighted down by his clothes and APP
parently strangling with water, had
sWum some 80 or 60 yards toward the
santtspit in the middle of the river He
became exhausted, however, and sank
before help could arrive.
The two in the boat, Joseph Nichols
and Augustus Clouthier, grapped for
Thomas, acting under Cyr's direction,
but failed to find him. They then land
lsaj TO take VIZ in and in roWiuer n tho
SPOT where Thomas had been seen to
fgp down, brought up the body at the
first attempt. He was a heavy man and
it. vas impossible to take the remains
into the boat, so they were towed
ashore.
They had been in the water over half
an hour. and resuscitation was out of
the question. There We're no bruises
on the body, however, and death had
apparently resulted entirely from
drowning, Coroner Bean was sum-
moned. but no inquest was deemed nee
essary. The body was taken to Plum

|suTTER PRICES MUCH LOWER.
President PurcelPs Expose Tends t,
Material Reduction in Values.

Chicago, Jan. 27.-When business
closed yesterday President Thomas e.
Purcell, of the Chicago butter and egg
board, found that he was responsible
for a drop of 2 cents in the price OF
butter at Elgin. for a vast increase in
the sales by local dealers in butter and
eggs, and for a general reduction in the
retail price of these products all over
the city.
The most significant development
was the drop in Elgin butter from ~
to % cents, and the fact that during
the last month Chicago butterine men
paid a tax of s24S. 231 on colored butter
inc, which is said to indicate that a
lot of this stuff had been sold to con-
sumers as genuine butter. 1t Is also
stated that President Purcells assertion
that anything above % cents per pound
for the best butter at retail is extortion-
ate covered but a small portion OF the
retail trade. Not one grocer in thirty,
it is said, ever buys his best" butter,
but sells al retail butter very nearly as
good, but which is worth about 8 cents
per pound less at wholesale.

The Stickney Roads LIKELY to
Get Into Hands of Two
Larger Systems
NEGOTIATIONS in PROGRESS
Vice President oppenheimer Says Sat

That Sale Is Likely to Be consum.
mated-The st. Paul and Northwest
tern to Divide the Purchase.

New York, Jan. 27.-Regarding the
statement of Vice President Stickney OF
the Chicago Great Western confirming
the reports current hat negotiations
are on for the transfer of the contro.
of the property to a larger system. Vice
President O%ppenheimer said:
"All l can say about this matter is
that the negotiations are progressing
satisfactorily"
The deal is understood to be the same
that was on early in 1901, when the st.
Paul vent SO far as to take an option on
the Great Western property at prices OF
par for the preferred A stock, 75 for the
preferred b stock and so for the COM
mon stock, the intention being to divide
the Great Western with the Chicago &
Northwestern. giving the latter the
Kansas City branch. When it seemed
probable the option would be exercised
the bad blood between the Hill and
Hartman interests developed an unset
tied public belief in the good faith of
the much talked about community of
ihltCiSoS SIi1CllS -DClMCSn WSSlclll
roads.
The Great Western deal had been un-
dertaken largely in furtherance of the
community of interest plans, and the
st. Paul and Northwestern interests. it
is said, decided the circumstances were
such 1t would be good policy to return
the Great Western option on the theory
that the Great Western interests, des-
pairing OF the contamination OF the
community of interest plans, and fear
Ing they had lost a good opportunity to
sell out, might become anxious and Of
fer a new option at lower figures. If
reasoning was what actuated the
st. ul-Northwestern interest in re-
turning their option it turned out to be
faulty. for the Great Western fully real
lied the strength of their position and,
informed the people with whom they
were dealing that the Great Western
would never again be offered at such
low prices as those named in the ex-
pired option.
AS to what prices have been named
in the renewed negotiations nothing can
learned. but 1t is known that the
small coterie which holds control OF the
Great Western has increased its hold
ings of the preferred B stock since the
old negotiations We're broken off.

Supreme Court Rules Against Railroad
In Important Settlers Case.

Supreme Court Rules Against Railroad
In Important Settlers Case.
Washington, d. c., JAM 27.-The
United States supreme court has rem
dered thru Justice Harlan an opinion
affecting the Northern Pacific railroad
land grant. The case was that of Peter
and Henry Nelson. Who located upon
u~nsurveyed land within the Northern
Pacific grant, in the then territory OF
Washington, in 1881. This was after
the railroad company had filed it's gen
eral map showing Its proposed line,
but before it had filed its map of def
mite location. In the opinion handed
down yesterday 1t was held that the
title of the settlers was better than that
of the railroad company, and that until
the definite map was filed congress had
control of the lands within the grant,
regardless of the general map.
In a dissenting opinion Justice Brew
er said the opinion reverses the judg-
of the court Of twenty years
ago, by which the Interior department
had ever since been controlled in deal
ing with disputes between the railroad
company and settlers like the Nelson's.
Millions are involved in the decision.
