Has Most Mileage of Any Stately

Has Most Mileage of Any Stately
1850 Should Lead in Population.
1t is southwestward that the star Of
empire takes its way, for Texas has
this year passed Missouri in popula-
ton, and there are now only four
States that contain more people-New
York, Pennsylvania, Illinois and Ohio.
In area Texas is nearly a third larger
than all four Of them. At the present
rate of increase Of population Texas
will pass Ohio before 1920, Illinois be-
fore 1880, Pennsylvania by 1919, and
New York by 1850, and become the
most populous State in the Union. II
1t were as densely settled as New
York now is, 1t would contain 41,0OO,-
900 souls; and, when 1t becomes as
densely populated as England or Ger
many now II, 1t will contain $4,000 900.
By the act Of Congress admitting it
into the Union, the State may be dl-
vided into as many as five States
whenever the people desire division;
but division has never been seriously
proposed
Since 1850 Illinois has had more
miles Of railroad than any other State
till this fall; but on Sept. 1 Texas ex-
ceeded it, having now 11,517 miles of
main track. The exports from CAL
weston are now greater than the ex-
ports from Philadelphia, Baltimore or
Boston. Only New York and New Or
leans make larger outbound ship
ments, and Galveston will exceed New
Orleans in very short time, and be-
come the second exporting city in
America. Texas produces about one
third Of our whole cotton crop. More
wheat is now shipped thence than from
both New York and New Orleans.
Galveston is nearer the transmissis-
sippi wheat fields than any Atlantic
port; and the Panama canal will bring
It very much nearer than It now Is
to the Pacific ports both Of North
and South America.
The growth Of the Southwest is in
dicated by the steady moving of the
center Of population during the last
census decade fourteen miles west
ward and three miles southwark; and
moving from Western Mississippi
across the river. The development of
our Southwest is fair parallel, in
some respects, to the magic growth Of
what we once called the West; but II
goes on less noisily, because transpor
tation Is cheaper and more rapid

other Western States commenced to
settle on the north side Of the Missouri
River and called their county Clay
and the county seat Liberty.
1t the same time smother lot Of emil
grants from Virginia and other South

south side of the Big Muddy and
called their county Jackson and the

An Honest Opinion.

Mineral. Idaho, Nov. 14.-(SpeciaD.
That sure cure has been discovered
for those sciatic pains that make SO
many lives miserable, Is the firm opin-
ion Of Mr.. D. s. Colson, a we'll known
resident of this place, and he does not
hesitate to say that cure is Dodd's Kid
ney Pills. The reason Mr.. Colson is so
firm in his opinion is that he had those
terrible pains and is cured. Speaking
OF the matter he says:
81 am only too happy to say Dodd's
Kidney Pills have done me lots OF
good. I had awful pains in my hip 80
1 could hardly walk. Dodd's Kidney
Pills stopped it entirely. I think they
are q grand medicine"
All sciatic and Rheumatic pains are
caused by uric acid in the blood.
Dodd's Kidney Pills make healthy
Kidneys and healthy kidneys strain all
the uric acid out of the blood. With
the cause removed there can be no
rheumatism OF sciatica.

CHAPTER xXI.-{Continued.,

But In the middle Of the night all the
symptoms suddenly changed for the
worse. The pain in the head was sue
ceeded by a fearful oppression, and the
sick man thus suffered torture trying to
get his breath; daybreak found him still
tossing restlessly from pillow to pillow.
When the doctor came early in the
morning he appeared very much surpris-
ed at this change for the worse. He in
quired II they had not administered an
overdose Of morphine. Manuel said that
he had put the blister on his master, and
the doctors directions had been accu,
rately followed.
The doctor, after having examined
Menoul, and found his breathing heavy
and irregular. prescribed a heavy dose
OF sulphate of quinine; he then retired
saying he would return the next day.
But Menoul grew no better. In spite
Of the most careful nursing his symp'
toms changed, but showed no improve
ment. Each attack was more violent
than the preceding.
On the fourteenth day Of his illness
after lying In a stupor for several hours
he revived sufficiently to make Louis
promise to carry on the ironworks, EN-
braced him for the last time, and sunk
back on his pillow in dying state.
Now, Louis was In reality million
aire. Two weeks later, having made
arrangements with the engineer ir
charge Of the iron works to attend tC
everything during his absence, he took
his seat in the train for Paris. He had
sent the following telegram to Raou
the night previous:
II will see you tomorrow"

CHAPTER XIII.

Reaching Paris at 8 o'clock in the
evening, not by the Lyons road, as he
had said, but by the Orleans train, M.
Verduret hurried up to the Archangel,
where he found the cashier impatiently
awaiting him.
"You are about to hear some rich de-
velopments," he said to Prosper, "and
see how far back into the past one has
to seek for the primary cause Of crime.
All things are linked together and de-
pendent upon each other In this world OF
ours. Valentine de la Verberie is pun
ished In 1855 for the secrets Of 1910.
Nothing Is neglected or forgotten, when
stern retribution asserts her sway.

OF 80 great an importance has ad.

"Of such Importance has advertis.

our business or other causes make II
necessary to economize 1t certainly

If anything, our expense in this direc.

Another improvement talked Of and
which will likely be built, il tin
shop. AT present al tin work Is done
in a small room located in the shed
department of the shop next to the
scrap iron bins and the workmen are
put 1t an inconvenience. The new
tin shop would be valuable and
essential improvement to the shops.
The transfer table will also be re-
modelled and an electrical apparatus
pat in to run the table. The table
now is 55 feet long and sccomodsted
the engine with tauk attached. The
tanks are not pulled into the machine
shops now and the length Of the table
will be cut to 35 feet giving room for
other improvements at the south west
end of the table. The work Of repair
ing and installing the electrical ap-
paratus will begin soon. 1t is said.
The company will before winter set
in to build big hot water reservoir
to be used in cleansing engine boilers.
In every other shop where boilers are
cleaned the exhaust steam from the
many pipes is turned into reservoir
and the hot water used in washing
the boilers. Here an average of ten
boilers q day are washed and the tank
must be built in proportion to the
number Of boilers to he washed. This
will require q tank with a capacity OF
ESQ, 600 gallons, which will be emptied
BY the work here at lerst four times o
day. Fresh water il turned into the
tank and the inpouring OF steam keeps
the water nearly at boiling point.
