A MINER RESCUED
HOW HELP CAME IN A TIME
OF EMER GENCY.
A Dubuque Man was in Situation of
Great Pain and Peril and Was
Almost Hopeless.

I'm the lead mines was at work on
my knees with my elbows pressed
against rock walls, in dampness and ex-
tremes of cold,'' said Mr.. ]. G. Meukel
of 2975 jackson avenue, Dubuqe, Iowa,
in describing his experience to a re-
porter, land it is not surprising that
contracted rheumatism. For three years
had attacks affecting the joints of my
ankles, knees and elbows. Ny ankles
and knees became so swollen I could
scarcely walk on uneven ground and
little pressure from stone under my
feet would cause so much pain that L
would nearly sink down. l was often
obliged to lie in bed for several days at
time. My trends who were similarly
troubled were getting no relief from
doctors and I did not feel encouraged
to throw money away for nothing. By
chance read the story of Robert Yates,
of the Klauer Manufacturing Co, of
Dubuque, who had very bad case OF
rheumatism. I decided to try DR.. Will
liams' Pink Pills for Pale People, the
remedy he had used. In three or four
weeks after beginning to use the pills,
I was much better and in three months
I was well. The swelling of the joints
and the tenderness disappeared, I could
work steadily and for eight years have
had no return of the trouble. My whole
family believe in DR.. Williams Pink
Pills. Both my sons use them We
consider them a household remedy that
we are sure about
This is convincing testimony. easily
verified, from a plain, earnest man who
knows that he has escaped the clutches
of terrible disease and who is pro
foundly grateful and anxious to help
others.
Mr. Meulkel is a thrifty miner, and a
well known citizen of Dubuque. No one
could imagine that he had reached his
SEVENTEEN year as he is seen going to
his daily work with vigorous step and
erect bearing. DR.. Williams Pink Pills
did more for him than simply give re-
lief They eradicated the disease by
getting at the seat of the difficulty in
the blood. These pills are equally eff
fcacious in the treatment of other OBJ
stinate troubles such as locomotor
ataxia, partial paralysis, st. Vitus'
dance, sciatica, neuralgia, nervous head
ache, after effects of the grip, anaemia
and all forms of weakness either in

over the three proposed routes with the
engineer to determine which is the most
practicable.
Another committee composed of Major
T. J. Anderson, Peter Hell, w. w.
Ramey and F. A. Seaman of Alma and
Arson Miller of Council Grove, will
gather statistics about the population
and agricultural output OF the localities

RILEY ADIALECT STUDENT

wilbur seeks Recoenition.

About a month ago the Missouri Pa
ciflc Railroad company discontinued
keeping a station agent and telegraph
operator at Wilbur, Greenwood county.
The people of that vicinity do not APP
prove of this action, and a complaint
has been filed with the state board OF
railroad commissioners, asking that the
road be compelled to re-establish the
telegraph office there. The fact is cited
that Shell Rock township, which files
the complaint, gave the road $3.50 in
bonds with the understanding that a
station would be maintained at Wilbur.
It is also asserted that there is an
abundance of business there to justify
maintaining the station, as it has ship
ped in the last two years 100 cars of
cattle, 81 cars of hogs, and 20 cars of
merchandise.

Cattle Seized by Inspectors.

Relative to the arrest of l.. A. HUFF
and others in Huerfano county for the
alleged stealing of cattle. says the
Denver Republican of September 25th,
Secretary Edwin McCrillis of the State
Stock Inspection Board said yesterday
that the board had stopped a carload
of cattle on Monday which had been
shipped into Denver from that coun-
ty-
We did not just like the appear
ance of the man with the cattle" said
Mr.. McCrillis, mot that We thought he
was a cattle thief, but he could not
give any satisfactory account as to
now he came into possession of the
animals, and for that reason We de-
cided it best to hold the cattle. They
were sold TO Denver firm and the
money resulting from the sale has been
deposited with the state board When
the proper owners for the cattle are
found We shall turn the money over to
them. | know nothing about the mat
ter further than l have just stated.
This case shows clearly the use of the
board to the cattlemen of this state,
some OF whom believe the laws have
been trihe too stringent in some re-
spects. l venture 10 say that the men
who own these cattle viii come to the
conclusion that the board ana the laws
are good things"
Last winter We stopped carload of
horses here in thesane way" he add
ed, and H. R. Fuller. who had the an
imals in his possession when the board
got hold of them. is now on trial in
Glenwood Springs charged with rus
Ting cattle. l do not know how this
case will come out, but at any rate it
will show the use of the strict inspec-
uon laws end the state board
Mr.. McCrillis stated further that the
members of the board were making
every effort to secure evidence con-
corning a number of cases Of cattle
rustling over the stale. The state
board is determined 10 protect
the cattle owners of the state against
cattle thieves The board has its in
spectors everywhere in the state. and
unless a man can show bills of sale
for the cattle which he has in his pos
session or other good evidence OF his
right and title, the stock will be taken
from him until he can prove proper
ownership, Most of the cattle BUYERS

Colorado Forest Reserves.

r. L. Alien .Cl washington, L. W us
trict chief of the Federal Bureau or
Forestry's Investigations of proposed
new forest reserves in Colorado, Idaho
and Montana, has returned TO, Denver
to inspect the seasons work OF his as
sistants and conclude the examinations
in this state His reports will be pre-
pared during the next two or three
months. and the governments final ac-
.tion upon the areas involved may De
expected by the first of the coming
year. Examinations are being made OF
nearly all the mountain areas OF Colo
RADIO which are important to the pro-
lection of irrigation streams, including
the San Miguel and La Plata ranges IN
southwestern Colorado; the San Juan.
Cochetopah and Sangre de Cristo
ranges, which surround the watershed
of the Rio Grande; the Wet mountains
in Custer county; the West Elk and Sa-
guache ranges on the Gunnlson; the
Uncompahgre plateau; the Park and
Medicine Bow ranges in northern Colo
RADIO, and several proposed small ad-
ditions to the present South Platte and
Pixies Peak group of reserves.
Mr.. Allen states that, while large
area has been investigated, the resi-
dents of Colorado have no cause TO fear
wholesale reservation of lands more
valuable for other purposes. The gov
ernment exercises much more care ia
this respect than in the past, and the
investigations cover every aspect of the
problem. The importance of the irri-
cation and other interests to be bene-
flied is ascertained and compared with
tnat of those which may be opposed;
the relation of the forest to the water
supply is studied and the timber Is
carefully mapped SO that the reserve
will include no agricultural land.
Farming, grazing and mining are con-
sidered, so that none shall be done an
injustice. The policy is to create small
reserves where they are needed rather
than to include large general areas.
The occasional opposition to re-
serves, Mr.. Allen asserts, nearly al
ways is due to misrepresentation. Where
the people. especially the miners and
farmers, have become familiar with the
policy they are its fast supporters. The
object is not to prevent utilization of
timber and range. but to prevent their
destruction by fire and wasteful use.
A fire patrol is maintained and fund
kept available to pay settlers who as
sist in emergencies. Mining laws ap-
ply in reserves exactly as elsewhere.
Settlers and prospectors are allowed
free timber for all their needs Lumber
companies, large mines and similar
enterprises may purchase timber and
thus help develop the country, but are
required to take precautions against
fire and are restricted to the economi-
cal use of mature timber not needed
by local residents or miners.
Grazing is restricted only so far as
necessary to prevent overstocking the
range or protect settlers of the region
from outside stock. In allotting the
range the actual resident of the re-
serve is given first preference, the man
living nearby is second in considera-
ton and the outsider comes last. Only
residents of another state are positive,
ly excluded.
