MR.. HENDERSON
The Railroad Promoter Spent
Yesterday in this
City.

J. Z. Henderson, the promoter of
the Vinita g. Western railroad, was
in the city yesterday, consulting with
Seymour Riddle, Oliver Bagby and
Others. Mr.. Henderson, of course, re-
fused to give out anything for publi-
cation, and the other gentlemen also
said they had nothing for the papers.
1t is known, however, that Mr. Hem
derson is still working on his project,
and that he still has hopes Of secur-
ing some one to finance it. Several
miles Of the roadbed we're constructed
north from Vinita, several miles Of
right Of way were condemned and
paid for. Mr.. Henderson, Of course, is
unwilling to loose this Investment,
which amounts to about $4,000, If
he can possibly save it. The present
is not very good season for financing
railroads, and there is very little build
ing of new lines, except by establish
ed companies, especially those in the
northwest.
NO word has yet been received from
Coffeyyille as to when the railroad
committee from that town will be in
Vinita but it is expected here the
latter spart Of the week. Work on
the survey Of the Arkansas & Okla
homa Northeastern from Caney, Kan,
to the southeast is being prosecuted.

MINING FOR RUBlES.
The Primitive Methods That Are still
In Use In Burma.

The system practiced for obtaining
rubies in the mining districts in Bur-
ma is of the most primitive dcscrip-
ton, says the Searchlight. The mining
shafts are simply holes about two feet
square sunk to a depth varying up to
fifty or sixty feet. The snoring UP of
the walls of the shaft is most crude,
the sides being supported by posts at
the corners and branches of small
trees secured carefully against the
sides by means of stout sticks.
The miner carries tin pot similar In
shape to a blunt edged cone on his
head. He squats down in one corner
and digs between his knees In the op-
posite corner. The earth, or byon. as
the ruby bearing earth Is called, Is
conveyed to the top as fast as 1t Is ex-
cavated in small buckets let down
from above.
The apparatus for raising and lower
ing the buckets is simple in the ex-
treme. A stout bamboo post about
twenty feet high, called maungdine,
is fixed upright in the ground at con-
venient distance from the pit, or dwin,
and long, thinner bamboo pivoted
horizontally into the upper end of 1t SO
as to project an eighth from the mine
and the long arm toward the mine.

KEEP THE LIVER CLEAN.
Don't Overwork 1t and Give II Rest
Once In Awhile.

A man of common sense and q doc
tor at that said: 1.-The liver Is misun-
derstood and underestimated in its
functions. If 1t can be kept clean and
active there is no reason why we
should ever be i'll day, and we should
live to be $50 or 200 years old. 1t Is not
necessary to rip this organ all to pieces
with ten grains of calomel to get 1t
stirred up. The best thing to do is to
shut off your food supply for two or
three days, drop your whisky and
claret, your tea and coffee, and give
your liver chance to rest. This should
be done once Il month
1t is we'll known, of course, that In
olden times the liver was supposed to
be the seat of the affections. Friends
when they met in the morning did not
salute each other with "How's your
healthT but with Flows your liverT'
Men take horseback exercise principal
ly for their livers. A good shaking up
every morning drives away the cirrho-
ticbilary encroachment. 1t is an error
to assume that whisky alone produces
cirrhosis. Overlooking Is more often
the cause. If the digestive organs
would organize union and work only
eight hours day all of us would be
healthy and long lived. The trouble Is
we require the liver, stomach bowels,
heart, brain, muscles, nerves, kidneys,
| spleen, etc, to work all the time and
overtime. Wrong. Give them rest
