SUGAR BEET RAILROAD.
Contract Let on Holly. Holbrook G. Big
Bend Railroad.

Denver.-A Republican special from
Holly says that contracts have been
let for the first ten miles of the Holly,
Holbrook e. Big Bend railroad, which
will extend from Swink to Holly.
Work will begin by the end of this
week. Contracts let SO far aggregate
over 100000
The Holly Construction Company,
which will build the road. has abundant
capital at its disposal, and it is said
that over S1,OG0,O00 will be spent in
building the road and equipping it. The
road Will do a regular railway business
in a fertile, though sparsely settled
country. which at the present time has
no railroad facilities. Traffic agree
ments have been made with the Santa
Fe company whereby cars for through
traffic will be handled on the latter's
lines.
1t is the intention of the Holly Con
struction Company to use the road pri-
marily for connecting the beet sugar
factories of the Holly company and
transporting bects to them. The new
road Will probably bring 10000 acres
of land within shipping distance, and
the farmers are giving it free right
of way. Contracts for more than H.
900 acres of beets have been signed
for the Swink factory. now under con
struction.
The Big Bend Telephone Company is
preparing to extend its lines to Holly.

ISTHMus PIPE LINE.
Secretary Taft Recommends Grant of
Revocabe License.

Washington-Secre Taft has
recommended to the President that he
saction the issue OF revocable license
to the Union Oil Company of Califor-
MIA to construct and maintain pipe
line across the canal zone. There
were six applicants, but the company
named is the only one which specified
the price of oil if used by the govern
ment, and whose offer was otherwise
sufficiently definite and reasonable.
1t is, however, expressly provided
that the license shall not be exclusive,
SO that other companies may hereafter
compete for the business. For it's part
the company undertakes to pay $500
per month. to be applied to school pur-
poses in the canal zone, and also to
permit the government to draw upon
its pipe line at any point for oil at 80
cents per barrel.
Secretary Taft in his letter to the
President explains that this is about
equivalent for fuel purposes to Poca-
hontas coal at the present cost on the
isthmus of 81 per ton, so that the oil
may be used for all power purposes II
desired in the construction of the
canal. AS only refined oil is carried
over the Panama railroad the secre-
tary does not fear that the transporta-
tion of crude oil by pipe would injure
the business of the railroad.
The company undertakes to com
plete the line by August LIST, next, and
to build in American shipyards suit
able tank steamers to supply, in addi-
tion to its present large fleet, the
necessary means of conveying the oil
to the pipe.

thing until after January 22d.
Recounting remarkable incident
that heretofore had escaped notice, the
premier said:
AT one time all the stations except
the Nicholas depot were in the hands
of the revolutionists. The latter in
desperation started train hauling two
cars loaded with dynamite at full
speed for the station, with the inten-
tion of blowing 1t up.
"A frightful disaster was averted by
timely warning of the plot. which en-
abled the authorities to have a military
train with steam up ready on paral
lei track. AS the dynamite train ar
rived soldiers from the military train
running alongside fired at the end and
managed to pierce the boiler of the To-
comotive, stopping the train before it
reached its destination"
In st. Petersburg, the premier fur
ther remarked. enough dynamite had
been captured to destroy the entire
city.
1t is rumored that the revolutionists
are keeping Il list of land owners who
have fed or are fleeing abroad, with
the intention, if the revolution is sue
cessful. of confiscating their estates.

burned alive.
A squaron of Dragons which was
ambnshed near Hazenpol, losing two
men killed and four wounded, received
reinforcements later and surrounded
the revolutionists. No quarter was
given and the revolutionists. number
ing eighty-nine in all, were killed to

This Is a true story of lady
Drganist in church not a thousand
miles from Tilton, New Hampshire:
On going into church one morning
she noticed that new minister, a
stranger, was in the pulpit. Previous
to this she had had considerable trou-
Bile because the blowboy would let the
wind out of the organ when she needed
it most. So she wrote n note, saying:
BLOW, blow hard; blow all the time
until tell you to stop" and calling the
blowboy, gave 1t TO him.
The boy, supposing the note was
meant for the minister, without open
ing or reading it, carried 1t to the
pulpit. The ministers surprise and
the organist's confusion in conse.
quence were about equal.-Boston

UNCONSCIOUS POISONING.
How 1t often Happens From Coffee


Il had no idea,' writes a Duluth
man, that it was the coffee l had
been drinking all my life that was
responsible for the headaches which
were growing upon me, for the dyspep-
sia that no medicines would relieve,
and for the acute nervousness which
untitled me not only for work but also
for the most ordinary social functions.
But at last the truth dawned upon
me l forthwith bade the harmful bev-
erage a prompt farewell, ordered in
some Postum and began to use it. The
good effects of the new food drink
were apparent within very few days.
My headaches grew less frequent,
and decreased in violence, my stom.
ach grew strong and able to digest
my food without distress of any kind,
my nervousness has gone and l am
able to enjoy life with my neighbors
and sleep soundly O. nights. My
physical strength and nerve power
have increased SO much that | can do
double the work l used to do, and
feel no undue fatigue afterwards.
This improvement set in just as
soon as the old coffee poison had SO
worked out of my system as to allow
the food elements in the Postum to
get a hold to build me up again.

and Postum alone that did all this, for
