For a Bad Back.

Sabra, Montana, Oct. 19the-A great
many men in this neighborhood used to
complain of pains in the back, but now
scarcely one can be found who has any
such trouble.
Mr., Gottlieb Mill is largely responsible
for the improvement, for it was he who
first Of all found the remedy for this
Backache. He has recommended it to all
his friends and neighbors, and in every
ease it has had wonderful success.
Mr.. Mill says:-
For many years had been troubled
with my Kidneys and pains in the small
Of my back. tried many medicines but
did not derive any benefit until last fall,
when I bought a dozen boxes of Dodd's
Kidney Pills. After using them a few
days began to improve, my back quit
aching and 1 felt better and stronger all
around.
az viii keep them in the house right
along, for in my opinion they are the best
medicine in the market to-day, and if my
back should bother me again, l will use
nothing else"

Surgeon Brice, of the White Star
liner Germanic, holds a record which
could never have been made by a liv-
ing man but for modern invention. He
has crossed the Atlantic as ships sur
geon 804 times, travelling $500, 900
miles, and hopes to make 900 more
trips. He may easily succeed. He is
only II years old, fresh sea air has
kept him hale and strong, and as ships
now cross the ocean "a times in a year
it should only take four years to reach
the round number. The 20-day boat
has become the six-day monster. We
fear Americans are becoming boastful.

Lifting Jack Patented.

W. W. Simopton, of Jackson, has
just been granted patent for lift
ing jack which he believes will be
generally adopted by the railroads.
1t consists of certain devices where
by, when the box is lacked up, the
car wheel will be held down at the
same time instead of raising off the
rail. One man can operate the new
jack and do it in a much shorter
time than it takes two or three to do
it now with the old lack.

Short Cotton Crop.

The statements of experienced
crop observers, who have travelled
all over the country within a radius
of eighty miles or more Of Vicks-
burg, justify the belief that the same
territory will this season gather the
shortest cotton crop for the past fif-
teen years. There seems no likeli-
hood of any top crop at all, and on
many places the crop is reported to
be more than half picked already.

fronts the Pennsylvania railroad per-
sisted in keeping red curtains in her

the removal of the curtains, but the

Pension Inquiry.

the State in regard to the time for
getting on the pension lists. 1t
It seems that certain veteran was
an applicant for pension, but the
board decided that he had $500
worth of property and, as the law
directs in such cases, refused to put
him on the list. The letter from
the attorney in the case stated that
it had just been discovered that the
man in fact was not worth the
amount named, and was therefore,
entitled to draw assistance from the
State. He wanted to know if it is
now too late to have his name placed
on the pension roll. The reply was
to the effect that the rolls for the
year have all been made up and
passed on and the pensioner will
have to wait until next year before
he can get his name on the list.

Election Law Not Violated.

Judge Whitfield of the Supreme
Court last week handed down a de-
cision in the case of Earl Brewer,
district attorney. VS.. r. F. Abbey,
chairman Of the Democratic execu-
tive committee of Tunica county.
0. F. Robinson, candidate for treas
nrer for Tunica county, brought the
suit to compel the committee to re-
count the votes cast in the August
primary and to have himself de-
clared the nominee in the place of
H. T. Tucker, who was declared
nominated by the committee. The
grounds for the suit were that Tuck
er was a member of the committee
which made the count, and that the
votes for him should not have been
counted. The Supreme Court, how
ever, upheld the decision of the
lower court that there was no evil
dence to show the count of the COM
mittee incorrect. The action of the
committee in declaring Tucker the
nominee will, therefore, remain.

The Clark Railway.

THE people of Salt Lake are jubilant
over the completion of the deal
between Senator w. A. Clark of
Montana and the Oregon Short Line
railway, whereby the tracks south of
the city become part of the San Pedro
system and the early completion of an
air line to Los Angeles and the Pacific
coast is assured. The early completion
of the road is promised, and will un-
doubted'y be performed, and it cannot
| but help Salt Lake City and the vast
mining region to the south and west
which are undeveloped through lack of
transportation facilities.
In one important respect this road
differs from nearly all other railway
schemes which have been exploited in
this country. The promoters of the
road, headed by the great copper king.
are putting their own money into it and
expect to make their profits out of run
ming the road. AS usual thing, the
promoters do not wait for returns in
this fashion. They make their fortunes
by selling bonds and watered stock to
the public. 1t is a notorious fact that
most railways are bonded for all or
more than the original cost of con-
struction and equipment, so that the
money derived from the sale of stock
represents the costs of promotion and
the profits of the promoters
This so-called Clark road should be
useful in enabling the public to gauge
the true cost of a railway and form
an estimate of the proportion of wa
ter to be. found in the capital stock
and bonds of other roads.
Such data may be useful some day
if the railways persist in discriminate
ing against the general public in favor
of big corporations such as the Stand
ard Oil company.
1t is to be hoped that the people of
Salt Lake will not lose their heads and
indulge in any wild land boom such as
the one which collapsed in 1890 and
checked the growth of the city for
decade. Land values will increase with
added population, but the surest way
to keep people from settling in the city
is to make it too dear place for them
to live in. Fancy prices never have
been maintained, and never can be.
without the actual population to Justify
them, and the people will not come. or
will not stay if they do come, if rents
and land values are swelled to an I'M
reasonable extent. Greed and the gam
bling fever are the greatest enemies of
such places as Salt Lake City.

UTAH STOCKHOLDERS MEET.
Strong Board EIected-The Financial
Exhibit.

At the special meeting of the share
holders of the Utah company vest erday
those who had figured on deposing some
of the old Standbys reckoned without
their host and went down to easy de-
feat. OF the 10000 shares of issued stock
SS,110 were represented and the follow
ing board OF directors was elected by an
overwhelming majority, the officers
selected being named Immediately after
the election: George Crismon, president;
A. Hanauer, jr., vice president; Mrs. +.
I. Crismon, treasurer; the other mem
bers being j. c. Crismon, NJ. w. Taylor
George Romney and Joseph Oberndorfer.
z. M Weller was retained as secretary
and the business of the company will
proceed as usual.
The report submitted covered a period
dating from Oct. 1, 1900, to the first of
the present month, ana made the follow
ing showing: Receipts, all from the sale
of ores, amounted to $114,270.04 During
the same time $4Q.046.9 IS was paid out for
wages; supplies, S20.02S.55; insurance, 81
140.I3; assaying and sampling S2,140. 70;
freight, $24. 54913; office and general ex-
penses. 81, 4S0.30. and dividends, ST. 900.
On March 1 the company had bills out
standing and unpaid amounting to So
950S7, but since that time ores of the
value of $3979.02 were sold. while about
$1,000 worth more are at the sampler.
When this is settled for it will cut the
company's Indebtedness down to about
81, 300 AS an offset to this there is in
the bank at the present time 81, 500 so
the company begins its new fiscal year
with d real Indebtedness of about $500
an amount that the next car of ore from
the mine will wipe out entirely.
Only that the roads have been in al
most impossible condition for the past
few weeks there would have been a sur
plus after all accounts had been paid
fact which shows that the company is
in good financial condition.
