DIGNITY AND TROUBLE.
a~~~e~~~~@~~~~~~~ee~~S


The rector of one of the oldest
churches in the nelghborhood OF New
York was recently asked IL 1t did not
inspire him to know that he was car
rying on work begun two hundred
years ago. The New York Tribune
gives his reply.
THE age of the church does add
dignity to the work." he said, guarded
ly. But it brings a flood OF trouble
to me, particularly at the present time,
when interest In genealogical matters
is practically universal
"An old church is supposed to have.
generally does have. records" the rec
tor continued. Records are Invaluable
to some persons, especially those who
are working out Il family tree. They
come to see me about them, they write
to me, and one man even sent me this
telegram:
Wire me full name of my great
grandfather, christened in your church
by John and Mary Smith,"
"He wanted it to continue gene.
illogical Investigation in Boston, and
after an hour Of hard work found
it," said the rector, rather YEARLY.
People do not seem to realize that
one Is not particularly interested In
the tree Of another family. A woman
came to see me the other day and
said, as though she were comforting
the greatest possible favor:
"'I am perfectly willing you should
help me go through the church rec
ords. II will De so int 'restlngr"
Il gave her the christening book.
without remarking that to 90 through
it would not be altogether a novelty
for me, and left the room. When I
returned she was I'm the act of cutting
out an entry which referred TO her
family! She wanted to frame it for
her library. You can see for your
self" said the rector. in conclusion.
that there are drawbacks in being
connected with an old church"

The workers were forced to jack up
the freight car in order to get at the
victims underneath the wreckage of
the street car. Many of the passen-
gers assisted in taking out women
from the less damaged portion of the
car. while others got out by them
selves.
In the meantime, with terrible slow
ness, it seemed, the more seriously
injured were taken one by one from
the debris of the wreck.
A big engine was hitched to the car
and it was pulled over the mass of
timber and iron, exposing the wreck
in all its awfulness. but disclosing the
fact that there were no more bodies
beneath the car The grinding of the
timbers as the freight car was slowly
pulled off the street car was sicken-
ing, as the horror of the affair was ex-
posed in all its tragical details.
Helpless Ones Crushed Down.
The front of the car was filled with
women and many of these managed to
jump in time to avoid the crash, but
so sudden was the tragedy enacted
that many were too late. The reason
for the extensive loss of life is that
the freight car went directly over the
front end of the street car crushing
down upon the helpless ones. and pin
ming them beneath its weight The
sound of the crash was heard for
blocks and people rushed to the scene
from all directions. A number of
men from ,Ae NJ. o. 2. smelter were
soon on ;he spot and assisting in get
/ ting out the injured.
Four bodies were found huddled IN
sickening manner under the trucks
in a horribly mangled mass.
Escapes from death or serious in
jury were numerous. Jesse Foster
who lives at the Braund house. was
standing on the right footboard and
saw the danger. He attempted to
jump. but was thrown OF and struck
against a pole. bounding back almost
under the wheels of the car.

c. N. kNIFEs GRAIN RATES.
Sweeping Cuts Made in District Eas'
of Montana.

Just as the movement of the grain
crop is about to begin the Great Nor
thern railroad has announced a sweep
ing reduction in grain rates through
out it's eastern territory, extending to
the boundary of Montana. Three years
ago the road made important reduc-
lions in the western section. The new
rates, ii is claimed, will add millions
to the potential resources Of the far
mers of the northwest.
The reduction is not made, it is
claimed, in pursuance of any pressure,
but as a voluntary act and in the
words of an official, "a profit sharing
policy of the road between the rail-
road and the tillers Of the soil of the
northwest mat has been fundamental
in the management of the Great Nor
thern.'
This reduction of rates ranges from
) cents per 100 pounds from the most
distant points to a half cent from
points nearer the Twin Cities and the
head of navigation on the great lakes.
From Williston, n. d., distant from
the head of navigation GIG miles, the
reduction is 8 cents per 100 pounds.
The meaning of these reductions
to farmers of the northwest is some
thing more than the winning of bat
tie or the signing of some advantage
GUS commercial treaty" said a promi-
nent railroad official. 1T affects the
entire grain product of the northwest,
Tor the same rates have been met by
The Northern Pacific and must be met
by every other line doing business in
the same territory and tributary to
it. You can not tell how far move
ment like this will reach. 1t will mean
a saving of more than 200 600, 600 bush
els to the ordinary market. This foots
up $2,OO0,OO0 to $3,OO0,00O that will
remain in the pockets of the farmers,
Of which the Great Northern will con
tribute at least one half
This movement is not only volun-
tary, but the revenue thus RENTED
can not be made good from any other
source. There can be and Is intended
TO be no increase OF rates elsewhere
to correspond. Moreover, it is made
in the face of the fact that in the
three years that have elapsed since
the last reduction of rates was made
the pay of employees in the various de-
partments of the system has been ma
terribly advanced adding that much
to the cost of operation"
These rates are made in competition
with the 500 Line and Canadian Pa
cifc. and astound the officials of these
roads. who are at a loss to understand
its meaning. Railroad men say that
President Hill has determined to make
war on the 500 and his old time bust
ness enemy, Tom Lowry, president of
the road.

Brakeman Bush Assaulted.

Arthur Bush, a passenger brakeman, was brutally assaulted at Bismark last Wednesday by one Ryan, a bartender. Ryan boarded No. 3 at Bismark Tues day thinking it was No. 21. When he discovered his mistake he asked Bush to stop the train and let him off, Bush told him that he had no authority to stop the train, but would see the con- ductor and request him to do so. When the train was stopped Ryan decided he did not want to get off so went on down the main line. When No. 2 pulled into Bismark Wednesday Ryan approached Bush and asked him if he was the brakeman on No. 3 the day before. When Bush replied in the affirmative Ryan struck him three or four blows with a slung-shot which probably weighed three or four pounds. Bush fell unconscious, and when he was down Ryan kicked him on the side of the head, tearing off the lower part of his ear. At last accounts Ryan had not been arrested. De Soto Facts.

LAST MILE or STEEL.
Great White River Line Will Then Be
 Declared Completed.

It is thought that by the 18th
 of the present month the gap be-
 tween the approaching ends of
 the White River road will be
 closed, completing the greatest piece of railway construction
 ever undertaken in the United
 States, und if engineering rec
 ords are correct, the greatest and most expensive railroad, mile for mile, in the entire world, says the Cotter Courier.
 By Saturday night tnis week the rails from the north end will have been laid througA the great Omaha tunnel to the immense gorge nearly 400 feet wide at this end of the tunnel. From this end the steel has already reached the south side of the gorge, and so by Saturday night the two ends of the road will be within speaking distance, and in sight of each other, but sep arated by a 400 foot gorge so rugged and rough that it is by great effort one can cross it even on foot. It is here that the steel gang will be delayed short time.
 The construction of the bridge over the gorge has been a heavy undertaking. Over 100000 feet of timber, a car of bolts and nails and tons upon tons of stone and concrete go into the build ing. It being impossible to reach the north side except on foot, the construction began on this side. Overhead cables were strung to the north side, heavy machinery was taken apart and carried piece by piece over the gorge and these set up. Then the heavy timbers followed, and the actual work of construction began. It is said that the pre- parations for building I this last bridge cost more in time and money than the bridge itself.

WHY KIDNEY DISEASE.
 IS DANGEROUS.
Neglect of the First Warning Symp- toms is the Prime Cause of so Many Deaths from the Dreaded
 Bright's Disease.
1t is Easily Durable in the Early Stages.

l Kidney diseases are so destructive to
 human life because they do not manifest alarming symptoms until the constitu- ton is seriously weakened and the strength exhausted. Then, too often, the remedies employed by many physi- clans are of indifferent or doubtful value, and the patient rapidly sinks under the disease. The wisest course is 10 apply a reliable kidney and liver remedy on the f,sf abbearance of the symptoms. A little uneasiness in the small of the back, digestive troubles, bowel irregularities and disorder in the urinary organs are matters of small moment in the estirna- tion of strong men and women, yet they have serious meaning. They show clearly that the kidneys are suffering and need help, which must be forth coming at once to prevent serious, per haps fatal consequences. A few doses of Prickly Ash Bitters at this time would prove of incalcu1ab1e value in restoring the weakened organs to health. An investment of one dollar i'll a bottle of Prickly Ash Bitters when the disease is yet in the early stage will save hundreds of dollars i'll doctors bills, besides the suffering that would surely follow should the disease be allowed to fasten itself i'll the body. The excellent curative power of Prickly Ash Bitters is not confined to the first stages of kidney disease. It is equally efficacious in severe or chronic cases. Physicians have used it as last resort, in cases that defed their best efforts, with the most brilliant results, and it has shown its superiority over the many so-called kidney cures, now being loudly advertised, in instances innu- merab1e.
 Accept no substitute. Insist on having
 the genuine Prick1y Ash Bitters with the
 large figure i'll red on the front label. Sold at Drug Stores, SI.OO per bottle.
