ODD FACTS ABOUT GOLD.

Few people know the real color Of
gold, because it is seldom seen ex-
cept when heavily alleged, which
makes it much redder than when it ia
pure.
The purest coins ever made were
the $50 pieces which once were in
common use in. California. Their
coinage was abandoned because the
loss by abrasion was SO great and be.
cause their interior could be bored out
and filed with lead. They were 90
tagonal in shape, and were the most
valuable coins ever minted and cir.
culated.
All gold is not alike when refined.
Australian gold is distinctly redder
than that taken in California. More.
over, placer gold is more yellow than
that which is taken from quartz. This
is one of the mysteries of metallurgy,
because the gold in placers comes
from that which is in quartz. The
gold in the Ural mountains is the red
dest in the world.

UNIQUE CHARACTER GONE,
Death at Wichita, Kan, Of Former
Congressman Jerry simp-
son-His Career.

Wichita, Kan. Oct. 24.-Ex-Con-
gresham Jerry Simpson died Monday

larly wearing upon him. At the close
OF the campaign he was greatly ia
tigued and any unusual exertion was
followed by cough and a pain near
the heart, that gradually grew worse.
Ex-Congressman Simpson was born
in New Brunswick. on March 81, 1912.
At IA he began life as sailor, and
during his % years. following that pur-
suit commanded many large vessels on
the Great Lakes. In the civil war he
served in the Twelfth Illinois infantry.
He came to Kansas in 1873. Original
ly, he was a republican, but later be-
came a greenbacker and populist. He
was a member of congress from 1891
to 1895 and from 1897 to 1899, being
nominated the last time by both the
democrats and populists. After he left
congress he moved to Roswell, N. M,
where he engaged up to the time of
his death in stock farming. He returned
to Kansas month ago and entered a
local hospital for treatment.

RUsSIA's LATEST TROUBLE.
Complete Tie-Up Of Railways
Throughout the Empire by
Strike of Employees.

st. Petersburg, Oct. 24.-The railroad
strike situation has now entered on q
highly serious phase. The movement
is spreading rapidly to all the railroads
of the empire, and apparently cannot
be stopped, while in many cities it is
communicating itself to the mill and
factory employees.
A flood of dispatches yesterday from
Simbirsk, Saratoff, Vyazma, Poltava.
Mimi Novgorod, Kharkoff, Smolensk,
Kieff, Elizabethgrad Kazen and other
railroad centers all over Russia an-
nounced the complete tying up of all
transportation. st. Petersburg has one
line to the frontier and the employees
of this line held a meeting late last
night to decide whether or not they
should participate in the strike move
ment.
The last link that bound Moscow,
the commercial center of the empire,
with the outer world was broken yes
terday afternoon when the men on the
Nicholai road, connecting Moscow with
st. Petersburg, went on strike. The
engineers shut of steam in their en7
gines and Prince Hilkoff had great diff
ficulty in obtaining crew for the spe-
cial train which brought him to St.
Petersburg at midnight.

Chicago, Oct. 23.-Later returns
from the storm which swept the great
lakes for &c hours increase the known
death list to % and the number of YES
sells, either lost or badly damaged, to
4S. Many boats are missing and it is

torn tospieces and fuel supplies washed

There are plenty of remedies by which

pain and gas on the stomach and can
smother nervous sensations and induce
artificial sleep. You can humor your
stomach by giving it predigested food.
But when you take your next meal all
your trouble begins afresh.
There is only one sensible thing to do.
Strengthen the stomach and do away
with the necessity for drugs aud arti-
fetal foods. The best remedy ever found
for this purpose is the one that was used
