MONEY FOR
BUILDERS.
To Be Furnished by Big Corporation
Planned in New York.

NEW YORK, May 8.-Senator New
lands, of Nevada, one of the promo
tiers of corporation to loan money
on San Francisco real estate, in order
to aid in the rebuilding of the city,
was in conference in this city yester-
day with H. s. Black, President of the
United States Realty & Improvement
Co.; Frank A. Vanderlip, Frank K.
Lane, of the San Francisco Commit
tee, and Thomas MCGEE, of the Fl
nance Committee of the same commit
tee. Senator Newlands says lawyers
are already at work drawing the
plans of organization, and that there
is no doubt all the money necessary
will be forthcoming. Senator New
lands thought that as the land titles
are perfectly clear, ready money could
be provided by his company before
the great bulk of the insurance pol
icies are paid over.
Mr.. Lane said: ''The damages
wrought by the earthquake did not ex-
coed 100000. Fire crushed San
Francisco. We need not fear any
earthquake of the future. We shall
rebuild in sections as prescribed by
the Commission, which will have abb
solute control of the new city beauti-
full, so that earthquake buildings will
be permitted within certain zones,
and so that the zones shall be sep
arated by wide boulevards and spaces
which in the event of a future con-
fiagration will confine the flames with
in the zone in which they started.
Every encouragement has been given
to us that all the capital we need will
be forthcoming"

"Old Tales Retold or the Perils and
Adventures of Tennessee Pioneers" by
Mrs. Octavia Zollicoffer Bond has just
been issued from the presses of the
Methodist Publishing Co. AS the title
indicates the attractive volume deals
with the history and perils of those
sturdy frontiersmen who have made
the early history of the Volun-
teer state glorious, and whose trials
and adventures read like a most alb
sorbing romance. The book is not
only deeply interesting, but it is of
historical value and is well worth a
place in the library of every Tennes-

WORK wEAKENs THE KIDNEYS.
Doan's Kidney Pills Have Done Great
Service for People Who Work
In Columbia.

Most Columbia people work every
day In some strained, unnatural posi-
tion-bending constantly over a desk
riding on jolting wagons. of cars
doing lhbdrius homework; lifting,
reaching or pulling, or trying the back
in hundred and one other ways. All
these strains tend to wear, weaken and
injure the kidneys until they fall be-
hind in their work of filtering the poi
sons from the blood. Doan's Kidney
Pills cure sick kidneys; put new
strength in bad backs. Columbia
cures proves it.
A. H. Shields, Jr., employed at the
L. & NJ R. R. freight office, residing
at SO w. Sth street, says: Il have the
best of reasons for Recommending
Doan's Kidney Pills. For some time
was troubled with a lame and ach-
king back and believe that my work in
the warehouse where l was employed
some few months ago and where I
was obliged to do considerable stoop-
ing over and lifting had tendency to
aggravate it if it did not cause the
trouble. At times the aching was so
severe that I found it difficult to eth
er stoop or straighten and I most
heartily wished that / could find some
thing that would cure this trouble.
Through our newspapers it was my
good fortune to learn of Doan's Kid

WYOMING TOWN
Moves Across a River To Meet a New
Railroad.
[Worland (Wyo) Cor. New Yorl
Herald


[Worland (Wyo) Cor. New York
Herald
When the railroad would not come
to Worland, Worland went to the rail.
road. Picking itself up, bag, baggage,
houses, stores, saloons and citizens,
the entire town moved across the Big
Horn River on the ice. Two weeks
ago the town was on the western side
of the Big Horn, but today 1t has
settled down in it's new home on the
eastern bank And the railroad is al
most here.
! Worland is one of the old towns
of the Big Horn Basin. For years it
has awaited the coming of railroad,
and when it was announced that the
Burlington would construct a line
through Worland there was Joy and
jollification. Then came a reaction.
The Burlington said it was too costly
to bridge the Big Horn, and that the
railroad would pass by on the east
side. The dreams of the future me-
tropolis" faded, and instead of having
railroad to build it into a city
Worland saw another city on the OPP
posite side of the river, which would
have the coveted read.
A mass meeting was held. A COM
mittee called on the Burlington man.
ayers, but the company could not be
induced to change the plans and bridge
the river.
Its too bad we amt on the other
side of the river" said every man to
his neighbor.
Worland was in the dumps" for
three weeks. Then one day down at
the Bocat saloon, when one prominent
citizen was condoling with another
over a glass of "pizen," and the first
one breathed the now familiar COM
plant, cts too bad we amt on the
other side of the river" the second
citizen blurted out:
well, why don't we move over
there, them"
Then they looked at each other with
wide open mouths, and put the glasses
back in the bar. The solution was
found. They would move across the
river and wait for the coming of the
railroad.
Dozens of horses were brought in
from the neighboring ranches. Great
tree trunks to ack as rollers were got
in the mountains. Cables and ropes
were prepared. Foremen for the diff
ferent gangs were appointed, and the
entire population of the town was di-
vided among them. The actual work
of moving the town went through, or
across, with a rush. Saloons were
moved without a moments stoppage
of business. In fact, if anything, bus
mess was a little better than usual,
due to the cold weather If a mans
house was on rollers when night came
he slept in his own bed as usual. The
bank did not close for the occasion,
although there was little banking bust
ness transacted that week. The post
Office rnade its journey safely and the
daily stage carried the mails without
delay. In less than one week the en-.
tire town had moved, and business
was running as usual on the east side
of the Big Horn.

SMART RAT
TIE SNAKES
Captured Thieves and Held Them Un-
til Farmer Awoke.
(Chicago Inter-Ocean.)

The most affectionate of snakes is
the RATHER. have had this proved to
me-or, rather, believe it, for it was
proved to man in whom have the
utmost faith, and who related the mat
ter that 1 now submit to the snake de-
partment of the Inter-Ocean. l an
proud to say that my authority is Big
John Brewster, a friend of snakes, If
snakes ever had one.
Big John Brewster did not share
the loathing for snakes that so gen.
orally exists. On the contrary, he was
fond of them. He held that most
snakes had a mission, particularly
those that rid the fields of vermin.
Big John never killed a snake, nor
would he permit any one to kill one
If he was about. do not know If this
got about in the snake world, but I
do know that Big Johns farm in
Northern Missouri had more snakes
to the square acre than any there
abouts and were less troubled by field
mice.
Another curious thing was that no.
body on Big Johns farm was ever bit
ten. He had three hired men, who
went about their work running into
snakes every day, and nothing happen
ed. In fact, the snakes-of all var
ieties-would gambol about in the
lower meadow at hay cutting time,
carefully keeping out of the way Of
the scythes-for Big John used
scythes in those days-and seeming
to enjoy the performance. And fine
assortment Of rattlers was the most
interesting bunch about the place.
You have read that good old snake
yarn of the RATHER that used to come
on the front porch and amuse the
baby by rafting its tail. OF course,
nobody believes it, and l secuted it
for long time until l heard what Big
Johns bunch of rattlers did for him
Chicken thieves took to raiding Big
Johns poultry yard. He missed a
number of very fine fowls, but was
never able to catch the raiders. No
matter how tight he locked the big
henhouse, the thieves would find
some wayof getting in. John talked
the situation over with his hired men,
and in some way the danger came to
be understood by the rattlers. At any
rate, they took to staying around the
henhouse, and one night there was a
great commotion.
Big John got out of bed and ran to
the poultry yard. He beheld two very
much frightened persons kneeling on
the ground and forming a circle
around them were about 100 rattlers.
1t was a curious scene, for the moon
was full. There was no way for the
men to escape unless they broke
through the circle, and as the snakes
were coiled they were afraid of being
struck. True to their custom of not
striking at anybody on Big Johns
place, the trusty snakes had not at
tempted to bite the chicken thieves,
but behaved so as to scare them until
Big John could arrive. The thieves
were arrested and John was no more
troubled.
Knowing that this story to be true,
lacks affection

ABOUT ANeoRA GOATS.

Having received many inquiries
about Angora goats. l will answer
some of the most important.
They can be kept with sheep In the
same flock very prottably. They are
very useful among sheep, as they cause
the sheep to come home at the right
time. They viii warn the sheep when
there Is any danger from a volt or a
stray dog by stamping on the ground
with one fore foot and by snorting,
30 that the whole flock is aroused, as
well as the herder and his dog. 1t is
not necessary to herd a small flock,
for they are the most sure to come
home of all animals.
It Ia true that they will not eat grass
as long as they find plenty of brush
and weeds in the pasture. 1t Is not
tue that they eat all kinds of weeds
and all kinds of brush. There are
few kinds of weeds that they do not
like, and there are two kinds of brush
that they do not like the black
persi mmon and the pecan. One fell
