For a New Railway.

The Whitehorse Star says that among their local advertisements for this week is one from Livingstone, Garret & King, solicitors for syndicate which is ap- plying to parliament for charter, with powers to build a line of railway from Whitehorse westerly to the interna- tional boundary, thence northerly by way of the Wbite River valley or the most feasible route to Dawson.
 Although the names of the principals for whom the solicitors are acting are unknown, it would appear from the route selected, Whitehorse being named for the southern terminus, as though the promoters were either connected with the White Pass < Yukon Route, or else expected to sell the charter, if obtained, to that company.

women SO much suffering.
AS pain is weakening, and
leaves the system in an ex-

to suffer a moment longer than
necessary, and you should take
the Anti-Pain Pills on first in
dication of an attack.
If taken as directed you may
have entire confidence in their
effectiveness, as we'll as in the
fact that they will leave no dis
agreeable after-effects.
They contain no morphine,
opium, chloral, cocaine or other
dangerous drugs.
"For long time have suffered
greatly with spells of backache, that
seem almost more than 1 can endure.
and last two or three days 1 have
never been able to get anything that
would give me much relief until be-
Pills, and they always relieve me in a
