Mrs. Pinkham claims that there is a
kind OF dyspepsia that is caused by a
arrangement of the female organism,
and which. while it causes a disturb
auce similar to ordinary indigestion.
cannot be relieved without medicine
which not only acts as a stomach tonic.
but has peculiar uterinetonic effects
also.
As proof of this theory we call at
tentiOn to the case of Mrs. Maggie
Wright. Brooklyn. \. Y. who was
completely cured by Lydia E Pink
hams Vegetabl BILE Compound after every
thing else had failed. She writes:
g For two years | suffered with dyspepsia
which so degenerated my entire system that I
was unable 10 attend to my daily duties l
felt weak and nervous, and nothing that ate
tasted good and il caused a disturbance in nv
stomach. l tried different dyspepsia cures,
but nothing seemed to help me. / was ad-
viSed to give lydia Z. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound u trial, and was happily surprised
70 find that II acted like fine tonic, and in a
few days began. to enjoy and properly digest
my food. My recovery was rapid, and in
five weeks l was a well woman. / have rec
commended it TO many suffering women"
No other medicine in the world has
received such widespread and unquali-
fed endorsements or has such a record Of
cures OF female troubles, as has Lydia
L. Pinkham's Vegeta bic Compound.

Standard oil Get. Into a Hot Fight

At last. through some mistake on
the part of its management and in di-
rect violation Of a policy that has en-
abled it To increase in power and
wealth the Standard Oil company has
permitted itself TO be drawn into an
open fight with the great common
wealth OF Kansas.
John u. Rockefeller would never
have approved of the policy that is re
sponsibIe for this state OF affairs As
the founder and the leading spirit in
the steady growth OF the greatest Of
all industrial combines. his methods
have always been SO TO conduct the az

Diamonds and Capital.

The discovery of a diamond valued
AT $500. 600 has been heralded to the
world. Has tRe discovery of this
stone added anything To the wealth or
capital OF the world At first thought
world richer by the value of the dfa-
mOnd. But lie Matin. a Paris. France.
journal. holds 10 the contrary. and
says.
The only real capital is that which
gives birth 10 new wealth directly to
the profit of its owner and Indirectly
TO the profit of the community This
is what will happen. When the com
pany owning the diamond sells it fl
viii invest and lay by the interest.
Bur since the purchaser. who has part
ed with $2.5oo.oOo. will lay by nothing.
Il will come TO the same thing. The
whole operation. therefore. is reduced
to a simple shifting of capital
This conclusion follows: Billions
of dollars worth of diamonds may be
dug ont of the earth and the wealth
of the whole human race viii not be
increased by a single cent. for this
capital does not really exist. And as
nothing is gained in the way by means
of production. so nothing is gained for
the general well-being This is not
so when iron or other metals or coal
is dug from the earth. Far truer is it
that the peasant who digs potatoes
does far more for the welfare of man
kind than the man who discovers a
diamand.

w. q. Petersen, who has been
with the Short Line at Pocatello for
the past thirteen years, left last
Sunday for Sparks, New, to take
the position of general foreman of
the big new shop plant at that
point. The promotion came to Mr..
Petersen as Christmas present.
Mr.. Petersen went to Pocatello in
1889 as a machinlst. He was made
foreman of the machine shop there
in 1892 In 1895 he went to San
Antonio, Texas, to work for the
International Il Great Northern.
He returned to Pocatello in 1897 to
take the position of general foreman
of the shops, which position he has
held ever since.
The new position 10 which Mr..
Petersen goes involves about the
same duties and emoluments as that
of Division Master Mechanic, for
although he will still be under the
supervision Of the Short Line, now
that its territory extends to Reno,
New, yet system differing some
what from that III vogue at Pocatello
Is yet in force on that portion of
the line, under which system the
position of general foreman is ldent-
ical with that of Division Master
Mechanic.
Sparks, New, is located about six
hundred miles west of Ogden and

Everything passed off very nicely.
The ball of the season was given
last Friday evening by the young
ladies of the second ward. 1t was
leap year basket ball, and the

equal TO the occasion; FOR after the
dance was out they insisted on es-

their baskets drew, safely beyond
the jurisdiction Of the city marshal.

Constable Coutts Finds That There Are
2s4 Delinquents on His Books
Who May Be Disfranchised

There will need to be some lively

barred from voting when they go the
polls next March meeting There are

Of Barre at the present time, and
law passed by the legislature OF 1904
says that no one whose taxes are not
paid shall have the privilege of voting

the right to vote to pay their taxes
before the time when Constable Coutfs
closes his door, which will be at nine
o'clock in the evening, according to
his statement today.
When the office closes for the pay

which says that he shall ~annually on
or before the fifteenth day Of February

OF the 494 names Of delinquents
turned over to the constable, the taxes
Of $50 have been paid, up to the present
time The taxes Of sixty have been
ahated, leaving 2S4. These have rot
one more day in which to settle their
obligations and be permitted the right
to vote at the coming meeting. 1t is
likely that a good many viii settle
with the constable at once, so that
the list Of those DISTINGUISHED will be
cut down considerably from the present
large list Of those who have not paid.
