the Side-Swipes column of the Galva
News The co. has always been on
the side of aesthetics and before Jim
Hill went shopping and picked it up
a good deal of work had been done in
this direction Now it has to be taken
up again and the roadbed from the
Missouri river to Chicago Is to be made
one long, many-tinted dream of arbo-
real bliss. The grass is to be lawn
mowered, the fence white-washed. the
telegraph poles hand-painted and the
gravel is to be polished each morning
by the section foreman with a second
hand tooth brush. Flower beds are to
be scattered with a lavish hand and
the passenger, if he, is right quick
about it. can reach out of the window
as the train fits across the prairies
and gather the fragile morning glory
and the lumiferous sun flower. The
stations are to be made more orna-
mental in various ways and not a
cinder will be allowed to nestle on the
green sward without special permit.
In fact, travel on the Burlington is go

aesthetics and the travelling man while
he fills his pale skin with pie can also
stuff his yearning soul to repletion
with bucolic beauties and horticultural
bliss. This is splendid. 1t. indicates
an effort to escape from the sordid
dollar grabbing game with which
America Is said to be over-aff1icted.
The Burlington mustn't forget when the

The crown of womanhood is motherhood
But uneasy lies the head that wears the
crown or anticipates this coronation, when
there is lack of womanly strength to bear
the burdens of maternal dignity and duty
The reason why so many women sink under
the strain of motherhood is because they
arc unprepared.
Il unhesitatingly advise expectant moth
ers to use DIR. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip-
ton, writes Mrs. ]. w. G. Stephens, of Mia,
Northumberland Co, Va The reason for
this advice IS that Dr.. Pierce's Favorite Pre-
scrpiion is the bes, preparative for the
maternal function. No matter how healthy
and strong a woman may be. she cannot
use "Fayorite Prescription as a prxpara-
tive for maternity without gain OF health
and comfort. But il Is the women who are
not strong who best appreciate the great
bench received from the use of -Favorite
Prescription For one thing its use makes
the baby's advent practically painless. II
has in many cases reduced days Of suffer
ing to few brief hours. II has changed
the period of anxiety and struggle into q
time Of ease and comfort
The proprietors and makers of Doctor
Pierces Favorite Prescription now feel
fully warranted in offering to pay $500 for
any case of Leucorrhea, Female Weakness
Proiapsus, or Falling Of Womb which they
cannot cure. All the Worlds Dispensary

"The feeling in Alaska is so strong over the neglect of Congress that some papers are advocating a separation and a juncture with Canada. This, of course, is fus- tian, but it is natural fustian, and should open the eyes of legislators to the necessity of justice toward the territory that, bought for ST. 900, or about one-third of what the Philippines cost, has paid for itself to the United States over and over again, and that in the last decade" :" Cleveland Leader.
 The Transcript says Judge Gun nison forbade the drawing of the jury for the term of court to be held at Juneau, from the vicinity of Ju- neau alone, as has been done for some time heretofore. Evidently the day of "iury fixing" in the 1st Alaska district is past.

Or the morning of May 23rd the bustling little town of whitehorse was almost wiped out by fire, which started in a barber shop in the rear of the Windsor hotel. The fire en zine broke down shortly after it had reached the scene and the town was at the mercy of the flames. The two principal blocks on Front street between the postoffice and the Dominion telegraph office were burned, including all the leading hotels and stores. One block on the opposite side of the street, in- cluding the White Pass railroad de- pot, was burned. The company's large warehouse which were crowd- ed with goods en route to the in- terior, were saved. With undaunt- ed energy the work of rebuilding was at once begun, and orders for new goods immediately wired and tents stretched to shelter transient people. As genuine rustlers and enterprising business men, those Britishers lead the procession and capture the bakery.
