Rough on the Frog.

Mt. Frank s. Bishop, general east
ern passenger agent OF the Illinois
Central railroad, tells a good story OF
the early days when railroad cOmpa-
MES did not seem to realize the nee
essity Of appointing a practical rail-
road man as president, but selected
for that important position the indt-
yfdual whom policy threw to the front
The Illinois Central had just Sc
cured control OF an important line
which connected with its system down
south" says Mr.. Bishop, the prest-
dent Of which was lawyer Of wide
reputation very good lawyer, but
without the slightest knowledge Of
railrOading-
several days later, a tour Of inspec-
ton was made over the entire route OF
the newly acquired line, among 9TH
ers in one Of the private cars being the
new president
The engineer Of the train began to
hit up a pretty fair gait, and the cars
soon started TO jump about, as the
rradbed was none too good at certain
places. The inspection tour was sure
IL proving a great success as Tar as
the bad portions Of the track were
concerned, for, as the speed OF the
train increased and the soft Spots
we're developed from time to time the
green official was nearly thrown from
his seat The farther down the line
we got the more nervous he became.
FINALLY, when the rate at which We
were moving had increased to such an
extent that, in order to stay IN one
seat. it was necessary to clutch sup
ports with both hands, and the new
president had become nearly frighten-
ed out Of his wits, the train, with one
terrific, long drawn out crash ran
over a switch with such apparent IN
certainty that it seemed about 10

The president gasped:
- What was that? What was that?
"'Oh, that was nothing shouted the
superintendent reasuringly. We just

The president, seeming somewhat
relieved, sank back in his seat, saying
weakly:

Sunday, viii be noteworthy. The
fact that Goodland is stepping forward
to keep company with Denver semi

dences that we are emerging from the
small town class, to become, in more
ways than base ball, a force to be
reckOne0 WITH among the powers that
exist for several hundred miles round

The lineup for either the Saturday

end of the foundation, the cut channel in the bed rock is approximately fifty feet from the upper face of the dam. while toward the other end it is only about fifteen feet distant. As has been heretofore explained. the present work ing is between this channel and the upper face and owing to the necessity of building it stair fashion. SO later work can be perfectly added. it is easily seen why the upper wall can be carried forward more rapidly toward the south end than toward the north end. At the present time the upper wall or face is about 9 feet high at the south end and about six feet high toward the north end, the floor plan or that part of the foundation now un- der construction being somewhat uri- angular, with the upper face slightly curved.
 Another feature not understood by those who have never visited the dam. is the iTregUIarity of the bedrock In the center of the channel the founda- ton is to be 165 feet wide from the up- per to the lower face. The bedrock under the upper face is about twelve feet deeper than it is fifty or hundred feet further down the river. or under the very center of the whole proposed structure.
 To give an illustration conceived from MT. O'Rourke's explanation. if the entire foundation site of the big dam could be laid bare at once. there would be presented the ground work or a rock waterfall ten or fifteen feet high, facing up stream. The upper face of the dam is placed on what would be the apron of this waterfall the rest of the structure extending

IT'S YOUR KIDNEYS.

Does you back ache? Do you get up lame in the morning? Do you feel dull and tired? Does it hurt you to bend over. to lift anything, to get up from a chair? Do you have sudden catches" :" or stitches of pain in the back? Does a duIl throbbfng ache settle in the small of your back and bother you day and night? Do you sometimes feel that you simply cannot straighten up?
 If you do have backache, be careful not to make the very common mistake of treating it as a muscular trouble. Do not rub the sore place with lini- ment, nor put on plasters, for the seat of the trouble is inside in the kid neys. which lie just beneath the small of the back, on either side of the spine.

UNITED STAIES COURT BEGINS OCTOBER TERM
Four Indictments Returned, Among Them One Against William Douglas, the Mesa PostofFice Robber.

The United States grand jury for the October term, began operations yes terday morning. and at 4 o'clock in the afternoon four indictments were re- turned. Among those against whom true bills were found was John T. Boyd, charged with sending Obscene matter through the United States mails, and William Douglas, charged with the theft of a registered package from the post office at Mesa This theft was committed nearly a year ago. The package contained several hundred dollars and had been sent by the Home Savings Bank and Trust company to Roosevelt.
 Douglas, against whom there had been no suspicion, made written con- fession of the theft. He said he was passing the post office one night. and found the door standing open. He en- tered and, looking around. saw an open mail bag. In it was the register ed package, which he took, and went away. He had been released from the county jail only two days before.
 Douglas said that he had long been in i'll health, and could not expect to live much longer. He had learned that some suspicion had attached to Post master Newell at Mesa, and he ac- cordingly returned and gave himself up. He described accurately the kind of money in the package.
 This story was first told to Assistant Postmaster Galpin of the Phoenix post office. by Douglas. It was at first thought that he was crazy. but he was taken before United States Attorney Alexander, to whom he repeated the story and signed a written confession after which he was locked up.
 Postmaster Newell said that the theft could not have happened in the manner described by Douglas. He said the package was not in the mail bag that night but was locked up in the safe. The postmaster Further said he found the door locked in the morning. and also found the package intact, and he put it in the Roosevelt mail bag.
 Manuel Arvizu and Kisto, an Indian. were indicted for. selling liquor to In dians. There are several other cases which will be considered tomorrow The case of George Emmett. charged with a violation of the Edmunds acy was passed on the motion of the United States attorney. Emmett is now m the penitentiary having been convicted in the district court of Pinal county on a charge of statutory rape, this arrange ment with reference to the case having been made MiIn the consent or the or flee of the United States attorney. The offense of Emmett was the maintaining of illicit relations with a step-daugh- ter.
 The case of the United States against Paul Wilson for the robbery of the postOffice at Wickenburg was dismiss ed on the motion of the United States attorney. Wilson was convicted at the last term of court on a similar charge. and is now at Yuma.
