W. c. Whitescarver. president Of
the Whitescarver Construction Com
pany. reports that fine progress is
being made on the grading for the
new Holly & Swink railroad. The
grading is completed for a distance
Of eighteen miles out Of Swink and
for about the same distance out of
Holly. and about a mile Of track has
been laid at either end. The delay
in track laying at the Swink end
has been caused on account Of hav-
ing to build bridge across the Ar
kansas river at that point. Work is
now in progress. but it will prob
ably be month before the bridge is
completed. Mr.. whitescarver re-
ceived letter . few days ago from
the chief engineer Of the Arkansas
Valley railroed requesting him to
bid on the work Of completing the
grading for that roed. As the lines
practically parallel each other
through the entire valley, Nf.
Whitescarver Is in . quandazy and
has not - yet been able to figure
out what the game really is- He
says Its the d-dest piece Of rail-
roading ] ever heard of."

As many cows can be pailed at one
time a. there are suckers depending
upon the power of the engine. In a
few minutes the cow is so dry she
could not moisten her cud. So dry
her hide must be moistened from
the outside to hold bran. So dry
her tail would burn like fiambeau.

NERVOUS PEOPLE.
Something You Ought to Know.

mo nerves and never irritable. -
This is what the Phoenix Drug Co.
people report after taking Vinol. 1T
is remarkable" said Mr.. Scrape of
the above firm to the editor Of the
Weekly, ''how many people buy Sc
datives and all sorts of opiates to
quiet and deaden the nerves, when
they are weakening their entire ner-
vous system by doing So
Nerve troubles are easily cured, ~
continued Mr.. Scrape. ''It is simply
q case of treating the general weak
ness, not the nerves alone, and that
is just what Vinol does in the most
direct and simple manner possible.
1t cures nerve troubles because it
builds one up and makes one strong
all over. 1t invigorates the entire
nervous system, makes new blood and
vitality.
''Vinol contains no drugs, and you
know what you are taking-simply
the medicinal curatives found in cod
liver oil with little organic iron add
ed. 1t is fast superseding old forms
of cod liver oil and emulsions because
il is so delicious to the taste and has
such marvellous vitalizing power.
1T is for this reason that we say to
every nervous, rundown and debili-
tated person in Aberdeen, try Vinol,
and if il does not cure you come back
and get your money!

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that IS by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
infiamed condition of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is inflamed you have rum
bling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed, Deafness is
the result, and unless the inflammation
can be taken out and this tube re-
stored to it's normal condition, hear
ing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by Ca
tarrh, which is nothing but an in
famed condition of the mucous sur
faces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness (caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by

lars free.

Of a march and a dance. Combin-
ing both in one, he devised the

prisoners, this was danced day in

played the fiddle, helped Capt Nc
Lean to work out the figures.

Wonderful Mysteries Revealed in
Chinatown.

Los Angeles, April Strange
is the scene where San Francisco
Chinatown stood,' says w. w.
Overton, who reached Los Angeles
today among the refugees.
No heap of smoking ruins marks
the site of the wooden buildings
where the slant-eyed men of the
Orient dwelt in thousands. The
place is pitted with deep holes and
dark passageways from whose depths
come smoke wreaths. All the wood
has gone and the winds are streak
ing the ashes. .
Men-white men-never knew
the depths of Chinatown's under
ground city," says Mr.. Overton.
They often talked of these subter-
ranean railways. And many of
them had gone beneath the street
levels two and three stories. But
now that Chinatown has been un-
masked, for the destroyed buildings
were only masks, many from hill
sides have looked on where its inner
secrets lay. In places they can see
passages 100 feet deep.
THE fire swept this Monaghan
section clean. 1t left no shred of
the painted wooden fabric. 1t ate
down to the bare ground, and this
lies stark, for the breezes have taken
away the light ashes. Joss houses
and mission schools, grocery stores
and opium dens, gambling hells and
theatres-all of them went. The
buildings blazed up like tissue pa
per lanterns used when the gutter
ing candles toucned their sides.
From this place |, following the
fire, saw hundreds Of fright-crazed
yellow men flee. In their arms
they bore their opium pipes, their
money bags, their silks and their
children. Beside them ran the
bagged trousers women, and some
of them hobbled painfully.
These were the men and women
of the surface. Far beneath the
street levels, i'm those cellars and
passageways were other lives. Wo-
men who never saw the day from
their darkened prisons and blinking
jailers were caught like rats in a
huge trap. Their very bones were
eaten by the flames.
And now there remains only
the holes. They pit the hillside
like a multitude of ground swollow
nests. They show depths which
the police never knew. The secrets
of those burrows will never be
known for into them the hungry
fire first sifted its red Goals and
then licked eagerly in tongues OF
creeping flames, finally obliteratine
everything except the earth itself. y

Drill of The Southern Cross.

OF the greatest number of soldiers
who took part in and helped devise
the Southern cross drill, as danced
Thursday night at the auditorium
OH the occasion of the Confederate
ball and which proved one of its
prettiest features, there are living
to day only Capt. w l.. Mclean
and Capt. ;. \. Munson. Both Of
these danced with the Memphis
Corps, who gave the drill, Capt.
Mclean calling out the figures and
acting otherwise as master of the
dance,
The ladies were dressed in white
Across their breasts they wore 81.
Andrew cross, the stars of which
were formed of silver. The men
wore gray uniforms With military
precision, enhanced only by the
dignity Of their carriage, the corps
went through the dance amid the
plaudits of 10, 200 spectators. There
were sixteen couples in all.
The history of the Southern cross
drill Is an interesting one. 1t dates
back to the days of the civil war,
when Confederates were huddled to-
gether in prisons. The drill was
the conception Of Col. Duggan, who
devised it To beguile away the weary
hours. The story is a follows:
In Nay, 1873, Capt. Mclean was
taken prisoner. In June he arrived
at Johnson's Island and there re-
manned captive until Feb. "a, 1865.
The prison was an inclosure Of three
acres, built around by a parapet
wall sixteen feet high. There were
III confinement here some $500 Con-
federates. Inside were thirteen
blocks. In room No. IS, block 3,
were eight prisoners, among whom
was Capt. Mclean.
Time hung heavy on their hands.
Their greatest sport and only past
time was fishing for rats. There
were thousands Of rodents in the
prison. They could be caught by
the soldiers with baited hooks,
which they suspended from the
windows.
Lieut.. Chas. Duggan of South
Carolina, like the rest, felt the
weight of inactivity. and through
the listless days, with nothing To do
bnt dream of home and dear ones,
he and his other comrades tried to
pass away the leaden seconds as
best they could.
He accordingly hit upon the idea
Of drill, and. together with his
confreres, set about to perfect some

Cotton Oil and Olive Oil.

From the fact that the last ten
years our exports of cotton seed oil
to Italy have increased from S2SS,
600 to 81 1863, 900 while in the same
time our imports from italy of olive
oil have increased from Sab. 900
to 81 ,239, 600 only contemporary
infers that we do not get back from
Italy all the cotton seed oil we send

Evidently not much of the olive
oil we get direct from Italy is the
green unclarified oil from the olive
orchards. and the increase in its
importation, like the increase in the
import Of macaroni, is doubtless
due in part to the large Italian i'm
