folds. Their PTOper Treatment and Cure.


Commonly, the first symptom of a "cold !"
Is chilly feeling, accompanied by sneez-
ing, or a tickling in the throat. The most
frequent of external causes are draughts,
wet or cold feet, or going from hot rooms
suddenly into cold ones. More frequently
there is an inner cause-namely the stagna-
ton of the blood caused by constipation or
biliousness. Almost the first symptom is
the feeling of cold in the feet and increased
discharge from the nose.
No one ever takes cold unless consti-
pated, or exhausted, and having what we
cali mal-nutrition, which is attended with
impoverished blood and exhaustion ofnerve
force. Tonics consisting of large portions
of alcohol, iron or cod liver oil do not bring
the desired changes in the blood, because
they do not enter the system and are not
absorbed into the blood, with the exception
of the alcohol which shrivels UP the red
blood corpuscles when it does come in
contact with them. We recommend the
botanical extract of DR.. Pierce because 1t
contains no alcohol and offers reasonable
and scientific method of treatinathe blood,
by improving the nutritive functions Of the
patient The vColdcn Medical Discovery"
accomplishes this by first restoring the
cnfecbled digestive organs, SO that food,
the natural tissue builder, will be digested
and assipiilated.
Accept mo substitute for DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery. There Is moth.
ing "just as good" for diseases Of the
stomach.

RATE WAR COMING.
The Broad Gauge Line To Be
Strictly In 1t On Ore Rates.

There will be something doing in Gil
pin county before the beginning of an
other year. 1t 10 rather early to forecast
rate war before ground is broken, but
that is what is coming. The new broad
gauge line penetrating to Black Hawk
and Russell gulch, backed by the infu-
ence of the Moffat road, proposes to
make the fur fly when is comes into the
market for business. The gauntlet has
been thrown down to the Colorado &
Southern by r. A. Hall, president of the
Gilpin County district line, who was mad
clear through when he read how the
Colorado e. Southern had cornered the
ore market by buying the Gilpin tram
road.
"That line was offered to our company
for S1O0,000," he said, "but when our en-
gineers went over the route and COM
pleted their examination they reported
that the entire road and equipment
could be duplicated for $4,000. That's
why we did not bite at the offer. 1t is
not worth the investment, as we will be
in the market as a direct competitor with
broad guage cars capable OF hauling
forty tons per car at rate that can be
cut to % cents a ton and leave us good
mar gin of profit. The tramroad is built
of iron, not steel, remember, and these
rails were laid sixteen years ago. The
grades are per cent with sixty degree
curves, while our heaviest grade will not
exceed 3 per cent, and that for a short
distance. We can build into Central
City on 3 per cent grade in distance
of five miles at cost not to exceed S75,-
600. The tramroad has no monopoly of
the ore hauling Of the county. as We can
prove that 60 per cent of the output is
handled by wagons of which there are
seventy four. horse outfits operating in
the county. Moreover, the tramroad
does not own foot of right. OF way. the
line being divided among the individual
properties that it reaches. Our final sur
veys have been completed and l want
everybody to know that before We get
through with this business we will have
lines into Idaho Springs, Yankee Hill
and ElDora, with mills IN operstion at
Pactolus. You will discover that the
, people of Gilpin county are broad guage
and want broad guage line and not be
handicapped by two or three transfers,
such as they have to pay for with mar
row guage facilities. The Colorado &
Southern did nothing for Gilpin county
during the thirty years it has had a
monopoly Of the traffic in that section,
but when it fin DIS rival line going after
the business the managers are willing to
be good and wheedle the miners into the
belief that they have been their very
good friends In other words, the Colo
RADIO & Southern is willing to make con-
cessions to try to throttle competition,
which was allowed to go too far to be
stihed. Every man in Gilpin county is
interested in our enterprise and will do
anything to help us along. We will be-
gin to throw dirt in less than thirty days
and from the inception of the railroad
the people will see that the grass will
not grow under our feet. We want the
business, and the sooner We get into the
territory the better for ourselves and our
patrons. ."-R. A. Hall in Wednesdays

The judicial convention held in
this city Wednesday paid the high
est possible compliment to the abil-
ity, honesty. integrity, fairness and
impartiality Of James H., Mccoy as
judge Of this circuit. There were
two ~contesting delegations, one from
Roberts and one from Grant county
and all factions Of the party in those
two counties were represented, yet
in the face Of the bitterness Of their
home troubles there was not a single
man here trying to get a seat in that
convention who sas not an ardent
admirer Of Judge Mccoy and would
have insisted upon his nomination
had he been seated. This a just
compliment to an honorable Judge.

the same braad for botlA cattle ana

for this change is that it causes great
confusion when the same brand is used
on both classes stock, and the owner
sells the one class alone, and with the

have been disputes over the right to use
