CAME TWO IN THE BUSH

RELATES THE EVENTS THROUGH
WHICH A BIRD IN THE HAND BE-
CAME TWO IN THE BUSH.
Week after week followed with
dreams of home, of green fields and
trees and brooks, interspersed with
gHmpses Of sad, patient, sympathetic
faces of nuns and the rustling of their
holy garments, which seemed like the
sound Of angels wings, and Renee
awakened to a realization that the
former were but dreams and the rest
full assurance that the latter were al
ways near to- comfort and protect her.
Some spoke of ship fever contracted
on the voyage during which two mcm-
bers of the crew had died, notwith-
standing the fact that she had been
ashore a full month before falling i'll.
Others shook their heads and whis-
pered something about strange dis
ease, lately found among the Indians,
that seized upon the mind as well as
the body. All agreed that it would
need every effort to strengthen the
weakened frame and renew the brain
that seemed to rally most tardily. In
reality it was the double blow of the
news of her lovers unfaithfulness, and
the sight of the man she feared and
whom she believed to be dead, coming
as it did after the fatigue of her long
voyage and close confinement of her
stufty cabin, that proved too great
shock to the nervous system of the
young girl.

recalled his name upon the chance
meeting.

NEW ROUTE TO SOUTHERN
CALIFORNIA.
Through Trains from Chicago.

With the opening of the line across
southern Utah and southwest Nevada,
known as the San Pedro Route, a new
country has been opened, which iii area
Is large enough for good sized empire,
the natural resources of which are prac-
tically untouched. This region has until
now been without railway facilities, and
the laws Of trade end transportation
are such that rapid development is now
assured. The Tonopah and Goldfeld
mining camps are to be reached by
branch lines, and there is a strong posi-
bilIty that other mineral districts will be
discovered and developed as result of
this new enterprise.
The facilities with which Southern
California and this newly opened portion
OF Nevada can be reached in future are
indicated by the announcement from the
passenger department of the Chicago &
North-W Western R'y that a daily service
of through Pullman tourist sleeping cars
via this route is to be inaugurated be-
tween Chicago and Los Angeles in a few
days, which will doubtless lead to a
large influx of people looking for oppor
tunities to establish themselves in this
new country, whero homes are cheap
work is plentiful, and mep of vim and
grit are IN demand-something unknown
in the densely populated cities of the east
There is some beautiful scenery along
the new route, particularly in what is
known as Rainbow Canon; and the cit
rus fruit region of Southern California is
reached near San Bernardino, the road
leading from that point through River-
side and Pomona, and other towns in
one of the greatest orange growing dis
tricts in the world.
1t is expected that with the opening of
the Southern California tourist season this
fall, a large amount of travel will be
handled via this route, for the manage
ment of the new road, fully alive to
modern travel requirements, have put in
effect a very handsome service of modern
car service and other travel comforts
which connect at Salt Lake and Ogden
with through service from the East, and
give new and interesting route by
which first class tourist travel can reach
the sunshine and flowers of this New
World Riviera.

Two men had dined together, and
after dinner had sat too long over
their coffee, their liquor, their brandy,
and so on. When it came time for them
to go home, they were in very bad
way. Helpless, in fact. They leaned
on one another, going with linked
arms, but each, as a reed to lean on,
was rotten. Finally they fell, and,
with loud splash, they rolled into a
full gutter. A police officer appeared
and grabbed the upper man by the col

The wonderful power of Lydia e.
Pinkk ANS Vegetable Compound over
the diseases of womankind is not be-
cause it is a stimulant, not because it
is palliative, but simply because it is
the Iaost wonderful tonic and recon-
struc .or ever discovered to act directly
upon the generative organs, positively
curing disease and restoring health and
vigor.
Marvellous cures are reported from
all parts of the country by women who
have been cured, trained nurses who
have witnessed cures and physicians
who have recognized the virtue of
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound, and are fair enough to give
credit where it is due.
If physicians dared to be frank and
open, hundreds of themwould acknowl-
edge that they constantly prescribe
Lydia L. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound in severe cases of female ills, as
they know by experience it can be re-
lied upon to effect cure. The follow
ing letter proves it.
DIR. S. G. Brigham, of Brigham
Park, Fitch burg, Mass, writes:
cit gives me great pleasure to say that I
have found Lydia K. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound very efIicacious, and often pre-
scribe it in my practice for female difficulties
my Oldest daughter found it very benefi-
cial for uterine trouble some time ago, and my
youngest daughter is now taking it for fe-
male weakness, and is surely gaining in health
and strength.

should take immediate action to ward
off the serious consequences, and be
restored TO perfect health and strength

BILE Compound, and then write to Mrs.
Pinkham, at Lynn, Mass, for further

the benefit of a wider experience in

SNORT OF BULLS is
HEARD IN The LAND.
And Grizzlies Do Quickstep
For Woods.
DECLINE is QUICKLY CHECKED
And Values Take a Sharp Upward
Turn-Bear Raid is Probably Ended
for Time and Cotton Prices Likely
to Advance. D., y

The bulls had their inning yesterday
and chased the bears out Of the cotton
patch, taking full possession. The
change was as sudden as it was etf3c-
tive and probably ended the big raid
engineered by the sharks and con-
duo ed for a week past.
And King Cotton appears to be in
the saddle one more time.
During the morning hours the mar
ket still continued its downward
course, but suddenly there came a
check and all positions again went up
the scale IN a iiffy.
March, a favorIte position, again
closed above eleven cents with January
very close behind.
In Americus, as in all other interior
markets. the bear Equeeze had shut up
business as tight as drum. Holders
viewed the situation with grim deter
mlnation to hold their bales for fan
valuation, even if the holding extend
ed to next summer.
And this same determination is
manifested among the farmers in the
cotton belt generally. Theo, Price
and his whole pack cannot shake out
spot cotton at present valuations.
But at the close yesterday the mar
ket appeared in better shape.
Hon. Harvie Jordan's proclamation
to the farmers, published yesterday,
doubtless had . good effect. In New
Orleans the market was rampant bull
Iish. In New York the news was pu6-
lished on the exchange that the COWS
were in the cotton fields.
The recent decline was the result OF
manipulation only. There is no reason
why cotton should not go to ~ cents,
and that quickly.

A SPARK IN COTTON

Press.
$500 COTTON BALES BURNED

UFIre at Columbus Compress Results
in Heavy Loss-Llttle Water and
Fire Beyond Control

Amerlcus received the news at ,
0 clock yesterday afternoon of a disas-
trous confagration raging at the Co.
lumbus plant of the Atlantic Compress
Co wherein $500 bales of cotton were
practically destroyed, entsiling loss
Of perhaps 500, 600,
The fire was the most disastrous in
that city IN recent years,
1t is said that $500 bales were ac-
tnally consumed, or rendered we'll
nigh vAlueless, while several thousand
bales additional stored in the ON
press were in great danger. hAE
The cotton bale burned were lying
in vacant lot contiguous to the COM
press, and the supposition is that
spark dropped by an engine started
the fire. The flames spread with great
rapiditY, and the immense pile of cots
ton was soon seething mass.
The fire department was soon very
busy at the scene, but lack of water
pressure greatly retarded the efforts
of the fremen.
For a time it seemed that the COM
press. too, was doomed, the building
catching fire repeatedly.
Immense quantities of cotton, said
to have been near 1900 bales, were
stored in the press and IN adjacsnt
sheds Had this cotton caught fire
he loss would have gone to the nils
lion dollar mark, but by hercnlean eff
fort it was all saved.
After the de )artment had returned
to quarters lac in the evening the
flames again broak out and threatened
additional destruction to the press and
acres of cotton stored. At one time
during the confagration the flames
covered five acres of cotton bales.
The spectacle is said to have been
one of awful grandeur.
The fire was first seen by trackman
in the railroad ards, who turned in an
alarm. The railroads sent force OF
500 men to assist in extinguishing the
flames, while hundred of volunteers
helped as well. But fire in cotton is a
big problem to handle.
The cotton b1rned was owned by ex-
port firms and fully insured, it is un-
derstood. Supt. Wakefield of the Amer
icus compress was in charge of the Co.
