Luterlaken. the little city between
Brienzer See and Thinner See, beauti-
fully situated on the left bank Of the
Aar, is one of the prettiest towns in
Switzerland, and the tourists stopping
place for at least three days. for here
the beauties of the Swiss Alps n the
surrounding valleys eliminate. To be
sure the scenery in Switzerland is beau
tiful no matter where one may be,
whether he visits Geneva, LuZerne,
Lausanne, Como, Neuchatel, Berne or
Goldau, but at Interlaken the tourist
finds his greatest expectations fulhlled.
1t is here that n finds the scenery
that gives Switzerland her scenic repu-
tation; 1t Is here that one finds the
land of perpetual ice and snow, where
the traveller may pick wild flowers in
the valley and in two hours be blowing
his way through n n ice even to
the heart % glaciers; and 1t is here
that one OF the most unique scenic
railways in the world is being con-
structed.
Three Great Peaks.
Interlaken is not famed for its valleys
and lakes alone, although they are
beautiful. The Swiss Alps which tower
over the valleys and seem to reach TO
the very skies themselves with their
o1lO" -tSSPPto pSoPNo oloA $3.50 ~ Nhc
sunshine, are magnificent. Three of
the grandest mountains In Switzerland
tower over the little town, the Jung
frau, 49, 7o feet high. the Monch, 13, 464
feet, and the Eiger, 1904 feet. From
the veranda of the hotel ii seems but
q few minutes walk to the foot OF
these pyramids of rock and Ice, but
upon investigation It is found that a
trip to the glaciers lying at the base
and on the sides OF the peaks will re-
quire at least two days IL one Is a good
walker and has sufficient endurance to
stand the hard climb-a trip some
what discouraging to the uninitiated.
Compensation for Climb.
But the majestic Jungrau towering
over Luterlaken is almost irresistible
and invariably seeks a closer acquaint-
anceship. The tourist asks IL there is
not some way that the trip can be
made with less exertion to himself and
In a shorter length of time. There Is
another way, but the beauties Of the

Scheidegg, the highest station of the
Wengerwalp railway, the line runs
along the top of the pass. To the south
one looks upon the inspiring precipices
of the Eiger, Monch and Jungfrau,
with their numerous glaciers; TO the
giants, Blumlisalp, Breithorn, Tsching-
elhorn, Gspattenhorn and ~Schildhorn;
to the north, the Lothorn, Lauberhorn,
~Lschuggen, Maunlichen, Faulhorn and
Schwarzhorn, and finally to the east,
over the Crosse Scheidegg, the Engel-
horner and Litlis in the distance. while
the Mettenberg and Wetterhorn flank
the main group on the eastern side.
The view is beautiful and several no.
tells have been built that the tourist
may remain as long as he wishes.
Watching the Avalanche.
The first station on the electric rail-
way after leaving Scheidegg is Eiger-
gletscher. At this point the tourist has
the opportunity Of hearing and seeing
avalanches fall from the Eiger Minch.
Guggi and Giessen glaciers, from which
issues the Trummelbach, flowing down
the valley of Trummelten and finally
finding its way into the Lauterbrunnen
valley, over the well known Trummel-
bach falls. IL one wishes one may en-
ter the glaciers themselves, for tun-
nels have been bored for quite q dis
tance that the visitor may experience
this chilling sensation.
Entering the Tunnel.
On leaving Eigergletscher station
the line enters the great tunnel which
has taken years to build and will take
years to complete. The tunnel begins
at the north end of the chain composed
of the Eiger Monch n Jungfrau
mountains. The work. is carried on
from the station at Eigergletsche,
where there are food stores. four large
buildings to accommodate h officials
and workmen, several work shops, an
engine shed, a transformer station and
magazine for explosives. The engineers
and workmen employed in the con-
and maintenance OF the tun-
mel live here the year rouEd. The
houses have been carefully built to
suit the particular climatic conditions
met at this altitude and are lighted
and heated by electricity transmitted
from the power station at LATTER
brunnen. The food stores are stocked

PRODUCING PURE MILK.

Here is what Professor Hunziker told
Indiana dairymen: II wish to repeat
that the greater the attention paid to
the health of the animal, to the feed it
receives and the s~crupulous cleanliness
in handling the milk at all stages, the
shorter the time hat elapses between
the milking and s~training of the milk
and the cooling, the lower the tempera-.
ture at which the milk is cooled. the.
greater win be it's freedom from bad
doors due to mechanical impurities.

more profitable will be its production
and the more wholesome will II be for
old and young.

seems especially made for a race course
for ski runners and a ground for whites
sports OF all descriptions.
Reason for Pride.
From Eismeer to the Junfrau thellne has
not been completed but will be In about ten
years. 1t Is the intention OF the company
to nave two more stations, one at jung
fraujoch-or Observation-Disclosures
Schniedegg and the glaciers on the north
side of the mountain, and one at jung
frau peak. To reach the latter station 1t
is intended to drive the tunnel to a point
directly underneath the highest point of
the mountain and carry he tourist to
the top by means OF an elevator which Will
have q shat. of solid rock. 1t IS also in
tended that a hotel shall be built on the
Jungfrau summit.
The return trip after leaving Eismeer Is
usually made by way of Grindelwald. The
scenery equals that seen on the trip by
way Of Lauterbrumere and In some places
is better, When the station Is reached at
Luterlaken and one has alighted from the
train and taken time to draw a days
breath the first words that comes to his
lips are: II don't blame the Swiss for be-
ing proud OF their country"

with sufficient TODD to keep $50 to 200
persons sever or eight months. There
is also a large baking oven, which sup
plies the colony with fresh bread daily.
Ice Melted by Electricity.
Water is obtained in winter by cleo
trically melting ice and snow by means
OF a rheostat. In the summer, how
ever, the snow water from the slopes
of the Eiger Is collected in pipes and
brought down through the tunnel to the
houses. And provided with a well fur
nished medicine chest is a spacious hos
pital ready to receive all patients.
The first station in the unnel is at
Rothstock, which vas opened on Au-
gust 2, 1899. A special pathway leads
from it up to the Rothstock, from
whence a fine view is obtained to the
north, over the Lauterhorn, Of the
many midland lakes and the Jura
chain,
Hotel of Solid Rock.
The next station as at Eigenwand,

to serve as windows, and through these
the tourist looks down on the town of
Grindelwald, several thousand feet
below. There Is a most exquisite
birdseye view of the small town with
it's scarcely visible houses and NINA
ture trees and the river, a mere band
of ribbon, winding its way through
the valley. This beautiful scene has
for it's background the green covered
side Of the snow-capped mountains.
Other Tourist Hotels.
The next and last station, completed
at the present time, Is Eismeer. This
is the largest and most important of
these rock stations, for it will not only
be provided with a waiting and re-
freshment room, but will also have
rooms for tourists that they may spend
the night. On the right one first sees
the lower saddle of the Minch, the
Bergli. with its famous Bergli club hut
and the Walcherhorn. Below and IL
front Of the station, with a flight Of
steps leading down to 1t, lies the Grin
delwald frescherfirn glacier, with it's
deep creyiceS and assures, extending
over several miles until 1t unites with
the Grindelwald gertscher In the Tower
Eismeer."
The view from Eismeer station is strik-
ingly In contrast with that from Edger-
wand station. In the latter the outlook
is characterized by mountains Of moder-
ate height, whereas In the former ones
gaze encounters regions where Ice and
snow reign absoiute; both panoramas are
overwhelming in their incompatible
beauty.
From Eismeer station 1t is easy to cross
the lower saddle of the Minch and reach
the "ewigs Schneefeld'-held of ever

THE HORSE.

The following Is from the Team
sters' Review" A great many men
don't know what a man means when
he says that he wants that horse ball
anced up so that he can travel" Ball
ancing a horse mean a whole lot. He
must be balanced as perfectly as a pair
OF merchants scales. II the black
smith, as a horseshoer. would take care
to get the inside of the foot the same
height as the outside, and get h shoe
the right length, there Is no trouble.
But what will the smith say when the
farmer begins to kick because his horse
is not shod right when you show him.
Some smiths will put on a shoe one
half inch too short, n IL the animal
goes lame he doesn't know what's the
matter. Some horses will wear a short
er shoe than others because OF the diff
ference in the degrees In the shape OF
the hoof. Some want a long toe and
some a short one. Therefore there will
be a difference OF 40 to AZ degrees, and
on a short toe you will find that the
horse will stand straighter; that is, the
upper pastern joint will come moro
directly over the foot. With a long toe
you will find that the upper pastern
joint will drop back more or less. An
easy way to get h length OF the shoe

eager to appear In a picture with the
president as they had been to hit the
target for him and show him what re-
liable and steady shooters they are.

scenery are not to be taken In at a
glance and those who are true lovers
Of nature and have the strength prefer
to make the difficult climb which
though hard on the muscles and heart
repays one fully.
Railroads Scale Mountains.
The ascent can be made by means
of steam and electric railroads not only
to the mountains themselves but into
their very hearts. This has been made
possible by the Wengenadp-bahn or
railroad and the Jungrau balm, the
former running from Luterlaken to
Scheidegg and the latter from Schei-
degg to Eismeer, the last station on the
line at the present time.
The tourist can buy his ticket at the
station in Luterlaken n has the
choice of returning by the same route
or making the descent by way of Grin
delwald, which lies in the valley on
the opposite side of the mountains. 1t
is not advisable TO return by the same
route for the scenery by the way of
Grindelwald is interesting and equally
beautiful.
The first part Of the journey is to
Lauterbrunnen where the power plant
OF the Jungrau railroad is located. The
road winds through the beautiful val
ieys, crossing and paralleling the icy
mountain stream, Trummelbach, past
foamy white waterfalls which plunge
hundreds of feet into the valleys below,
and brings one into Lauterbrunnen aft
er having given the tourist u glimpse Of
valley scenery as beautiful as any In
Switzerland.
An Engine for Each Coach.
At Lauterbrunneu a transfer is made
TO smaller train coaches and the Jour
ney up the mountain side begins. SO
steep is the ascent that an engine for
each coach Is necessary and even then
it seems as though the power Is in
sufficient TO carry this one little coach
TO the top. The cog wheel arrangement
IS brought into use, however, soon after
starting and slowly but surely the train
creeps up the side of the mountain.
Here one has a view of the entire VAL
ley, with the houses looking as small as
ant hills and the railroad tracks and
streams like silver threads. On the
opposite side of the valley are cars go
ing up and down the mountain, and
they travel even slower than the tour
lists car, for the grade is much sleeper.
In fact, almost perpendicular.
After climbing for an hour and a
half. though the time seems to be not
more than ten minutes, so great is
ones interest, the station of ~Scheidegg
is reached. At this point it is neces-
airy TO again change cars, for the
journey is now by an electric cog
wheel railway. owing to the fact that
the greater portion OF Ii Is through the
mountains themselves.

have fewer lame horses. /,

nailed on crooked, o has IL become

wide at the ends of the branches as
not to support the buttresses OF the

the form of the hoof? Are the nails
distributed so as to interfere as little
as possible with the expansion of the
quarters? Are there too many? Are
they too large? These are points the
horse owner should ascertain i'm or
der that any faults observed may be
corrected.

J. G. HARDIN PICKED
 FOR A SURE WINNER
Republican Ticket Filled by an Ideal Candidate for sheriff-Big Barbecue Planned for Cartwright Next Week

At a meeting of the republican county central committee yesterday John c. Hardin was chosen to fill the vacancy on the republican ticket made by the resignation of the nominee for sheriff. MT. Hardin stated that his only diffidence in accepting the place was that his private business, which is that of mining, happened to be in such a condition that it really demanded his attention. He admitted, however. that he had cherished aspirations to fill that office for some time and believed he fully understood it's duties and the re- sDonsibility of the candidate. He had hoped that lightning might strike him when. the convention was in session, but he had seen that W. w. Cook was likely to be nominated without a con- test so he refrained from any effort to break uD the orderly course of events. and returned to his private affairs.
 After discussing the situation with the committee a few minutes, however, hA decided that he would make the race. putting his private business aside for the present and devoting all his time to the campaign. He said he realized that he was getting started a little late. but he proposed to make up by speed and hard work and ground that might have been covered by the other candidates in the two weeks since their nomination
 MT. Hardin is deemed to be an ideal candidate, and the committed believes IS he does, that his chances have been in no wise injured by the brief delay in the start He is already well known throughout the county, and he will see to it between now and election day that he is better known. No man knows, the county any better than he does or better appreciates its needs MT. Hardin is not an untried man in positions of that Kind. He came here many years ago from Texas where he served his county in the office of sher- tiff. and that very satisfactorily, too It is not a bad recommendation, either. for man of republican principles to be able to say that he was thus hon ored in a democratic county. It is be- lieved there are many democrats fn.thiS county who, like their Texas brethren, will take a measure of personal pride in voting for him next month. And best of all, MT. Hardin is a hustler. man who has made a success of his private business and who is thoroughly capable of filling a public office.
 The central committee has arranged for a big barbecue at Cartwright next Saturday afternoon. one week from to day. There will be more good eating available there than anybody can get away. and the wide world is invited to be on hand. It is desired especially

SIMPLE cATARRH REMEDY.
Take Hyomei Treatment Four Times
 a Day and Be Cured.

Hyomei has performed almost mirac- ulous cures and is today recognized by leading members of the medical pro fession as the only advertised remedy for this disease that can be relied upon to do just what it claims
 Until recently your physician would have said the only way to cure catarrh would be to have a change of climate but now with HyOmei you can carry a health-giving climate in your vest pocket and by breathing it a few min utes four times a day cure yourself.
 The Hyomei treatment is simple and easy to use. It destroys all catarrh germs in the air passages and enriches and purifies the blood with ozone When using Hyomei the air you breathe will seem like that on the mountains, high above the sea level.
