RUMOR WILL NOT DOWN.
Persistent Belief That the Frisco Will
Buy the Tenn. Central.
Special to the Helald.


Nashville, Tenn, July 13.-The
Daily News in local article says:
Tue rumor that the Frisco has pur
chased or has arranged for the pur
chase of the Tennessee Central, has
been persistent in local railroad circles
for several days, but the fountain head
of the rumor cannot be easily located.
That 70 owners of the Frisco and the
st. Louis syndicate are in close touch
there Is no doubt, and for year it has
been the understanding that when tte
Tennessee Central was completed to
the Mississippi River, the Frisco
would be its most friendly connection,
If not its owner. The roads on that side
of the Father of Waters have plenty
of money and they will no longer brook
dictatlon from trunk lines over here.
The Frisco may not buy the Tennessee
Central, but every indication sug-
gests that her managers are headed
for the Atlantic seaboard.

Settlement With Comptroller

Special to the Herald.


Nashville. Tenn, July 10.-J. FL.
Ramon, Trustee OF Maury county,
made his settlement with Comptroller
King today for 1902 taxes. This is an
unusually early date for the trustee Of
& large county to settle.
Trustee Ramon stated to the Her

would be able to make his settlement
with Comptroller King this week. He
is the first OF the trustees Of any of the
large counties to make settlement,
and his doing 80 with such unusual
promptness Is fine testimonial to. his
conduct of the affairs of his office.
Hardly county in Tennessee has
made settlement yet, and that
Maury, the fifth county III the State,
should be about the first, Is due to Mr..
lannon's devotion to his duteis.

REMOVAL OF INDIANS,
d. H.RObbins Will be Paid $40 Famil,
to Take Them to Brainerd.

d. H. Robbins Will be Paid 80 Family
to Take Them to Brainerd.
D. II. Robbins came down from Mile
Laos lake last Monday and spent the day
in Pinceton. He left Tuesday for the
twin cities to spend a few days. Mr..
Robbins says that the SIS, 500 to be paid
the Indians according to the recent
treaty will be distributed among the
band some time this month, and the
payment will probably be made at
Vineland, unless otherwise ordered.
Indian Agent Michelet was at the lake
about ten days ago making arrange
ments with the Indians for the final
payment and settlement, preparatory
to their leaving for White Earth and
other reservations, as they may elect.
Agent Michelet stated to the Indians
that when the final payment was made
they would be obliged to sign the roll
and at the same time state on what res
ervation they prefer to take allotments.
The Indians did not seem quite pre-
pared for this sudden turn in affairs
and they called the representative
members of the band together and had
a consultation for over six hours in
which they discussed the matter. Many
did not think that the terms of the
treaty made it incumbent on them to
leave Mile Laos lake after they had
accepted the money from the govern
ment. The Indians finally concluded
that they would take the money and at
the time of the payment state to what
reservation they desire to : go. Old
Shakopee and few others insist that
they will neither take any of the filthy
lucre of Uncle Sam nor will they leave
Mile Laos lake. Many of the Indians
are talking of moving up on the reser-
walton north of Aitkin short ways,
others will go to White Earth while
some may go to Leech lake. Agent
Machelet has made arrangements with
Mr. Robbins for the removal of the
Indians who will be paid $40 family
for escorting them to Brainerd where
the agent will have box cars ready to

A Veterans Story.

Bath, N. Y, April 13th.-The first
consideration of the Commandant and
Officers in the conduct of the Soldiers
and Sailors Home here is the health
of the veterans Kidney Troubles are
the most common cause of ailment,
very few Of the old men escaping these
in some form or other.
OF course the comrades DO as much
as possible for themselves, and one of
the most popular and useful remedies
employed is Dodd's Kidney Pills,
which seem to be almost infallible in
cases of Kidney arrangements. Indeed
there are among the veterans several
who claim to owe their lives to Dodd's
Kidney Pills.
For instance, A. E. Ayers, who came
to the home from Minneapolis, Mimi.
was given up by four doctors in that
city. He had Bright's Disease, and
never expected to live through it, but
his life was saved and his health re-
stored by Dodd's Kidney Pills.
His experience has made the remedy
very popular among the men, and no
one who has used Dodd's Kidney Pills
for any Kidney Trouble has been dis
appointed.

Salt a Valuable Lift

clerosis, Con7n1oa Malady

An exceedingly interesting investi-
Cation of the causes and ills OF ad-
vancing age has recently been con-
ducted by DR.. Trunecek noted Ber-
lin scientist. He declares that the
most characteristic of these ills is
due to deficiency of salt in the blood
which causes a hardening Of the
arteries, arteriosclerosis, as physi-
clans term it. DR.. Trunecek has been
treating aged patients suffering from
arteriosclerosis by injection of saline
solution and with very astonishing
'esults.
Advertisements is an affection
almost exclusively confined to the
second half of life, for it depends on
all kinds of chronic poisoning and on
the use and maltreatment of the
arterial walls. Nevertheless, it is not
excessively rare to meet with it in
subjects who are yet young, either
because of a special predisposition of
peculiar vulnerability of the blood
vessels, or of serious chemical or
nicrobian poisoning.
This malady is characterized. by
a local or general thickening, which,
starting in the internal layer of the
artery, extends later to the middle
and outer layers. 1t forms in the
great arterial trunks more or less
