DIED WITH RICHES
ALMOST IN GRASP.

In the prospectus of the French
Creek Copper company, just issued, is
the following paragraph of passing in.
%terest, as showing how the men who
discover the rich mines seldom live
to see any of the wealth that flows
from them:
The ~discoverer of this lead, Mr..
John Morris, had prospected for years
all through the west and southwest,
and he claimed this was the best sur.
face indications for a great mine he
had ever seen.
When the company was organized,
he was elected superintendent. He had
spent a quarter of a century, prospect
ing and mining, and in the MONDAY
of his life had found what he was sure
was his fortune. Unfortunately, last
July, he died in his cabin, near the
mine, from heart failure produced by
overwork in the tunnel, just as he
thought he had riches within his grasp
He was one of those rugged pioneers,
honest, a man of good judgment, and
thoroughly posted on the mineral-bear-
ing rocks of this country"

sued by Union Pacific Concerning
the Fossil Remains Discovered in
This State-People Mindful of
This Mighty Fact.

Wyoming and Its Attractions" G
valuable advertisement for this state
recently issued by the Union Pacific
Railroad company, has the following
to say of wyoming fossil fields:
But few people have any idea, as
they are whirled over the mountain
ranges, the deep canons, fertile plains
and great deserts of Wyoming, that
they are in the very midst of one OF
the greatest treasure-locked regions OF
the entire world. What are these treas.
ures? They are the remains of huge
reptiles, SO large hat only those with
a vivid imagination can form any ade-
quate idea Of their size; huge NAM
mails Of elephantine Dimensions, min
lied with numerous orders Of large an
imal that have long been extinct; be-
sides such as camels, rhinoceroses,,
dogs, cats, elephants and monkeys;
great sea monsters that were truly sea
serpents; fishes that compare favor
ably with the inny tribe of our great
lakes; shell fish almost innumerable,
and fossil leaves hat prove conclu-
sively that in early ages Wyoming was
densely clothed with trees of tropical
and semi-tropical verdure.
A Geological Wonderland.
Wyoming is the geological Wonder
land of the world. Within the con-
fines of the big western state are the
most extensive and fertile fossil
fields known. It's %sagebrush plains
are, indeed, one vast prehistoric bury
ing ground, and science has summoned
them to give up their dead. Wyoming
is the resting place of the petrified
bones of the largest land animals that
ever lived. After already bequeathing
to geological science the rarest OF fos-
sill treasures, the state is again writing
a strange chapter in the worlds geo.
logical history by unearthing the pet
rifed bones OF the most colossal ami
NAL ever taken from the earth's strata.
Began Years Ago.
Work of collecting from this geo.
logical wonderland commenced in the
4Os, and, during the years since, Wyo-
ming has been a favored collecting
ground for the leading biologists and
psychologists of the entire country. |
The early expeditions encountered the
t~reacherous Sioux, but were not baf-
fed, through they had 10 outfit on the
Missouri river II travel 600 miles or
more by team, before entering the
field. The advent of The Union Pacif-
ic railroad added vigor to the research
work, and from that day to this not
season has passed but several expedi-
tons have spent the summer in the
Wyoming fields.'

The 2 Cent Fare To Stay.

1t was inevitable that the movement
for a 2 cent fare should turn out so
successful, and while it may for a time
be limited to mileage books and to a
restricted territory, it is one of those

turn back. After you have once tried
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters for any
ailment of the stomach, liver, kidneys
or bowels we know you will never
again turn back to any other medi-
cine. You won't Nee to, for it will
convince you beyond all doubt hat it
can cure you, the same as it has done
for thousands of other sickly people
during the past SO years. Try it and
be convinced. 1t restores the appetite
strengthens the digestive organs and
thus cures dyspepsia, indigestion, con,
stipation, biliousness, colds, female ills
and malaria. We guarantee its purity.

Index to Prosperitx.

The earnings of the great steel cor
poration afford an infallible index to
the prosperity of the country. The
figures for the calendar year 1906 are
Impressive. the total being over $l56,
$4,000. against S119. 9.S5O000 in 1905.
+73.i76,000 in 1904. and $109. .271 900 in
1903. The showing for last year was
a result of the phenomenal activity in
building, railroad construction and i'm
provement and steadily increasing de-
mand for iron and steel in every form.
And, continues the Troy Times. the
business done by concerns outside the
so-called trust" attained still larger
proportions. The new year begins with
mills overcrowded with orders, those
of the trust" yet untitled amounting
to S,4S9,T1S tons. the largest ever
known. and the prospects are favora-
BILE to another record breaker.

New Plan to Save Child Labor.

A proposition to take all children
under IA years of age from factories
and other places of employment and
send them to school has been made by
N. o. Nelson, millionaire manufac-
turer to the women's clubs of St
Louis. Mr.. Nelson is to pay the chill
dren half the amount they would re-
ceive for their work. and the clubs the
other half. The clubs have yet to give
their decision and pending it. Mr.. Mel
son has undertaken to do the work
himself. says Reader Magazine. He
has Investigated for several weeks
past every application to the truant
officer for permits for children under
age to work in the factories, and has,
at the present writing, found seven
worthy cases. Each week these chill
dren call at Nelson's office and receive
the money they would have been paid
for working-an average of three dol
lars a week. Then the children have
been returned to their schools. In
less than one-third of the cases inves-
tigated by Mr.. Nelson did he find the
people to be actually in need Of the
children's services.

ROCKEFELLER GIVES; OIL is UP.
New Profits Of $40, 100000 May Offset
$32 100000 Benefaction.

Philadelphia.-With the announce
ment OF the proposed gift by John d.
Rockefeller of 1872, 100000 to the Gener.
al Education Board comes notice to
the oil dealers and consumers all over
the country of an advance in the price
of oil which will net the Standard
OIL company about $4OOOO,000 addi-
tional in single year.
1t is estimated from the figures at
hand that fully $12,4OO.OOO of the addi-
tional annual tax must come from the
homes of the working class where oil
is used for light and fuel.
Notice of the advance in the price
of Standard Oil products was received
by dealers Thursday. the same day the
announcement of the great gift was
made Although the advance quoted
to wholesalers is one-half cent gallon
on oil for domestic use the public will
pay one cent additional. as the retail
dealers have raised the price to con.
sumers from 10 to IL cents per gal
Ion.
The yearly consumption of oil for
domestic purposes in Philadelphia is
about 15.500,000 gallons. So this city
alone will pay an additional sum OF
$3.50 annually for the cheap grade
of oil used for light and heat.

Trouble Ahead.

The trustees of the public library at
Maiden. Mass, announce that they
will not put in circulation a novel
which decent woman may not read
To a decent man without blushing." AS
this is a standard OF excellence which
cannot be applied Iriori, it may be
necessary to appoint committee to
exercise the novel censorship. The
difficulty of finding decent man will
be equalled only by that of submitting
decent woman to such an ordeal,
says the New York Post The latter
might, after time. grow hardened
and maintain a deathly pallor while
reading aloud from dubious works. 1t
would not always be easy to distin-
guish blush of modesty from what
novelists call flush of vexation."
The man might even blush while the
woman remained pale. and. lastly. the
biushing might be caused not by the
book. but by the presence of The man.

WHAT osLER REALLY SAID.
Never Claimed Mans Usefulness End
ed at Sixty Years.

"Oslerization' and to "Oslerize" are
terms that have come from badly re-
ported address by DIR. William Osler
Now. however, he has taken time to
explain that what he really said in that
famous address was this: THE teach
srs life should have three periods
study until 25. investigation until 49,
profession until 90. at which time
would have him retired on double
allowance. Whether Anthony Troll
lope's suggestion of college and
chloroform should be carried out or
not, / have become little dubious. as
my own time is getting so short" This
is very different from the generally
accepted idea that he asserted that
mans creative usefulness ended at 40
and suggested his chloroforming at 60
In an article on medicine DR.. Osler
writes thus on age: Within the past
three centuries the average working
:.!a of English speaking men has dou-
bled A few lived as long as nov and
sou,e r'--ong or favored ones haa Ell
