She Suffered for Years, but was Cured
at last by Kickapoo Indian Sagwa.
Resident of Salt Lake City, Utah,
Adds Her Willing Testimony
to Thousands.
From the Salt Lake City Ne,cs.1

- WV WV 00N O3 ~'NNVl
The story of Mrs. Edith Whites suf-
fering and cure from a deep seated
chronic kidney disease reads more like
an account of some wonder worked at
a sacred shrine than a plain everyday
fact. However, every detail is vouched
for by Mrs. Whites friends and neigh
bors.
Mrs. Edith White resides at No. 272
South Eighth Street, Salt Lake City.
Several years ago she was afflicted with
an obscure form of kidney disease. The
inability of the medical profession to
cope with this kind of disease was
forcibly illustrated in her case. The
more doctors she consulted, and the
more medicine she took the wors she
seemed to become. Nothing would
touch the disease. Finally a friend
recommended Sagwa, thefamous Kicka-
poo Indian remedy. Mrs. White took
few bottles and was completely cured.
Here is what she says
"KICKAPoo INDIAN REMEDY Co.,
- Gentlemen l am SO grateful for
what your Kickapoo Indian Sagwa has
done for me that | feel constrained to
write you. Let me say first this testi-
monial is entirely unsolicited, as |
don't suppose you ever even heard of
my name till you received this.
For a number of years | have been
greatly afflicted with Kidney trouble.

27ESo. Eighth ST., Salt Lake City, Utah.
Kickapoo Sagwa (sold everywhere
for so cents and $1.OO a bottle) is a GER
tain cure for all forms of kidney and
liver troubles, for chills and fever, ma
laria. heart or stomach trouble, rheu-
matism, impoverished or impure blood,
constipation, catarrh or any nervous
disorder. Kickapoo Indian Sagwa will
surely cure you and being composed
| entirely of herbs, roots, etc, it never
leaves an unpleasant effect, but cures
to stay cured.

NOTES ON THE
o MARKET
Status of the Trade Given By
the DrOver.--StOck-
man

The fat cattle market was active
and steady with COW stuff dull. 501Oc
lower and stockers and feeders gener-
ally strong. Hogs sold at 5 a Toe
higher than yesterday-from $500 to
$3.50, the bulk at $7.O5@7.15. The
sheep market was steady.
Cattle-There was only a moderate
run of cattle today, 1T loads, 4,176
head, being received up to noon. Re-
ceipts for the four days have been
some 5000 smaller than last week, but
nearly $500 larger than a year ago.
Beef Steers-There was no material
change in the market for fat cattle
either one way or the other. Dressed
beef men did not seem anxious for
the cattle as they have been the first
part of the week, but the movement
was reasonably active at the advance
of the past three days, prices ruling
right around 10015c higher than the
! close of last week. AS usual the de-
! sirable light and handy beeves were
the readiest sellers. but there were
not enough of the heavier cattle here
to permit n weakness on this class
of stock. On account of delayed trains
it was late in the day before a clear
ance had been made, but practically
all the early arrivals had been dis
I posed of some time before noon. Fair
to good 1,200 to 1,400-fb beeves sold
at 81. 1904 80, with the common to
fair warmed up and part fat grades

was twenty-nine. She. however, in his
opinion expressed to his father, was
possessed of all the best qualities that a
girl should have-and. in short, he was
going to marry her by yea or nay.
The first indication the elder Cornelius
Vanderbilt gave of his disapprovaI of
the match was at the Patriarch's ball, in
February. 1896, when the vanderbiIts
failed to recognize the Wilson's. Shortly
afterward Mrs. ogden GoeIet and her
sister-now the wife of Cornelius Van
derbiIt-went to Europe. and the young
man accompanied them. His fate was
sealed and was about to be signed and
delivered His father sent Worthington
Whftehouse to Paris to urge the young
man 10 return, but in vain. When Cor
nelius did return he was engaged.
Compromise Between Brothers.
A few months later occurred the mar
rage which caused the elder Cornelius
to disinherit his son and leave the bulk
of the Vanderbilt millions to Alfred
/ Gwynne Vanderbilt. who evinced a COM
mendable spirit OF generosity by volun-
tarily giving his brother $4,000, 600. on

right.
But, aside frcm this vein Of romance
permeating the Vanderbilt mine, there
is vivid practical streak in the present
Cornelius Vanderbilt that promises TO

real and best sense of an often abused
| phrase. Even while he was in college
his penchant for mechanics was pro

ELECTRICITY AS A

ON TRUNK LINES
By CORNELIUS VANDERBILT.

Copyright, 1902, by the North American Review.
It would be interesting to know how
many people have prophesied during the
past ten years that the day OF the steam
locomotive was at an end, and that the
era OF electricity as the motive power
for railways was at hand, for one seldom
takes a journey without hearing this
view expressed by some feIIow-passen-
ger. When one considers the enormous
growth OF the trolley systems in this
country, it seems to the Iayman-using
this term in contradistinction to that
of engineer-quite natural TO suppose
that a slight extension VIII result IA
equipping the present steam roads with
electric locomotives or motor cars run
in trains.
It is my object TO consider the res
sons for the extension or non-extension
of the trolley system, and to draw Ger

ter and Unborn regard for men who do
things as distinguished from men for
whom things are done.
OF course, Cornelius Vanderbilt is q
millionaire many times overly the
grace of his younger brother-but Amer
lea has grown so accustomed to million
aires that such a fact alone does not ac-
count for the thousands Of eyes that
followed the bulletins day after day
with unwearying interest.
This remarkable interest was not
awakened by Cornelius Vanderbilt the
millionaire so much as by Cornelius
Vanderbilt the man. At once the most
practical and unassumfng Of the Van
derbut brothers-as was evidenced by
his DOMINIC overalIs and going to work
in the New York Central shops near
Bufalo-by an odd paradox Cornelius
Vanderbilt has played the title role in a
drama in real life stranger than even
the most daring Imagination ever ere
.ated for the stage.
The Romance Of His Life.
Some time has passed since the Van
derbHt romance was told by columns
in the public prints. Cupid held the
scales in one side Of which were riches
il untold quantities, and in the other
"a woman. Slowly the scales bal
anced while the public watched. Never
had the little god groaned under such
burden. Slowly the burden was in
creased by the elder Cornelius Wander
bilt throwing the weight Of his violent
objection on the money side Of the scale

the peternaI disspprobation were over
balanced by the charming bride-to-b be
while the better part of a romance-Iov-
ing public aDplauded voctferously.
The Price of His Devotion.
Never in any romance has one person
paid such an enormous price for the &C
compIishment Of a desire-because there
have been few persons in the history OF
the world who have had an opportunity

Now Dr. Janeway, who has been in

his recovery entirely to the unweary-

MarTies the Woman Of His Choice
Never has even a Vanderbilt made a
better Investment than did the young
man when he married the woman he
loved. Alfred Gwyune Vanderbilt has
the fifty OF so millions, while his elder
brother has-his life.
Since one morning three weeks ago,
when the first announcement was made
that Cornelius Vanderbilt lay at the
point of death. very large percentage
OF the newspaper reading public has
followed the bulletins Of the attending
physicians with interest and with I'M
usually sympathetic eyes.
Many thousand persons ia this and
other cities and villages and towns that
dot the American landscape from ocean
to ocean have followed the bulletins
with hopes that the young millionaire
