The Burlington VIII COLOMBO.

The new federal statutes does
away with the issuing of passes
to land agents and as a con-
sequence the road has organized
a land seekers information
bureau which will assist in the
settlement of decided and private
lands, as we'll as the government
lands along the Burlington.
The prospectus which has been
issued by the Burlington says:
The general purpose of this
bureau will be to gather and
distribute information valuable
to seekers of western lands; to-
advertise in various ways the re-
sources and agricultural posi-
bilitieS of the western country
served by this railroad-a zone of
territory between the lakes, the
Mississippi river and continental
divide that offers the best climate
for residence, surer increase in
population, industrial and agri-
cultural wealth than any other
region of equal area in the world.
The service Of the bureau will
bh offered free to. both land
sellers and prospective land buy
ers and in this work the Burllng.
ton will have a limited number
of permanently established and
reliable land agents, engaged in
selling lands along the Burling-
ton, as correspondents of the
| bureau.

Prosperity and Adversely.

Eleven years ago we had what
we commonly call hard times in
the United States. Three mil
lion men were unable to obtain
work at any wage. Many more
we're unable to find employment
for more than half the days in a
week. Staple products of every
description were drug in the
MARKET Money could not be
obtained on any kind of security
not because money was scarce
but because those who posses
sed money feared to risk it in any
enterprise. There was no end to
dissatisfaction and complaint
everywhere. If any one could
have given assurance at that time
that yet a little while and all
these things would pass away
and in their stead would come
conditions characterized by un-
precedented opportunities to la
Dor at minimum wages, with
high prices for all staple products
and credit almost without limit
for all who have great under
takings on hand, everybody
would have been willing to pledge
that as for them they would, I'M
der such conditions, be perfectly
contented.
Everyone knows that we have
the conditions above described.
Some one said recently, "We
have more need OF labor, skilled
and unskilled, than can be sup.
piled. There are not in exis-
tence sufficient cars to haul our
produce to market, nor money
sufficient for the demands OF
business" Consequently there
is as much complaint almost as
there was when work was scarce
and products Of all kinds were q
burden to those who possessed
them. We are actually discon'
tented because of our prosperity,
and many are crying out for Z
change. Just what is demanded
no one is able to tell. Sensible
people, however, would rather
suffer such inconvenience as
now beset us than to again take
chances with idleness, hunger
and want, as in those democratic
days.

WHAT THE KIDNEYS DO.
Their Unceasing Work Keeps Us Strong
and Healthy,

All the blood in the body passes
through the kidneys once every three
minutes. The kidneys filter the blood.
They work night and day. When
healthy they remove about 500 grains OF
impure matter daily when unhealthy
some part of this impure matter is left in
the blood. This brings on many diseases
and symptoms-pain i'll the beck, head
ache, nervousness, hot, dry skin,
rheumatism, govt, gravel, disorders Of
the eyesight and hearing, dizziness,
irregular heart, debility, drowsiness,
dropsy deposits i'll the urine, etc, But
if you keep the filters right you will have
no trouble with your kidneys.
Mrs. Nellie May, of 3oS Pennsylvania
ave, Joplin, Mo-, says: 81 know from
my own experience that Doan's Kidney
Pills are a reliable kidney remedy.

Thursday, Jan, "a, 1907.

The generalization conference"
recently held at the Potter
Palmer mansion, in Chicago, was
a success so marked as to merit
more than passing comment, and
affords further evidence of the
broad humanity, sterling good
sense and sound judgment of the
tactful hostess. Acting upon
her initiative and invitation,
capital and labor met under her
roof; greeted each other with
hearty handshakes and entered
upon the discussion of vexed
questions in a spirit of good
fellowship with every outward
evidence of candor and earnest
ness. 1t is such spectales as this
that tend to renew ones faith in
the rock-bottom honesty of his
fellow-men.

During the last fiscal year
10000 people were killed in rail-
road accidents in this country,
and $4,000 were injured. This
number does indeed include rail-
way employees, a fact not
especially consoling to the en-
ployees themselves while being
roasted to death, nor to those
who, after great agony, must go
through a life incompletely lived,
with only part of body left
with which to do mans work,
Nor is this fact a comfort to any
one who has a spark of humanity
in him.

The Champion.

There seems to be just about
as much latitude in the number
of bushels of corn that has been
shucked in day as in the num-
Der OF fish some fellows catch
when there are no witness. The
REPUBLICAN thought it had a
pretty good hired man with III
bushels in 9 hours, but the
Arcadia Champion has the
champion l-l-lad who gives in his
time at ~ hours and $40 bushels.
Just what he did the other PA
hours of that 10 hour day is
not stated. Probably spent in
wondering if anybody would
believe his story.

A writer on agricultural topics

A writer on agricultural topics
says, and very correctly, that
"the selection of seed corn by
the scoop-shovel method is re-
sponsible for most of the stalks
that are fooling around all sum-
mer doing nothing" and that
"seed corn should all be tested
this winter so that the weak and
imperfectly cured ears may be
discovered and rejected. No
man has a moral right to guess
that the 800 kernels on an ear
will grow and produce strong and
thrifty stalks"

The Official Paper.

The REPUBLICAN again enjoys
the distinction of being the
official paper of Custer county.
For the past II years this is a
distinction that has been enjoy
ed but few times. The rule has
been, ''to the victor belongs the
spoils" and as the populists have
been in control of the county
board most of the time since 1890
the Chief and Beacon have been
the beneficiaries of the boards
patronage.
During the times of drouth and
panic the county and official
patronage was a great boon to
the newspapers that were filled
with sheriff sale notices and
county work.
But the REPUBLICAN managed
to continue in business and al
though it was not favored with
any of the official patronage we
were pleased to have the con-
seriousness that although in the
minority, were in the right and
the flesh pots of the opposition
were not temptation for us.
But we do appreciate a square
deal in matters of politics, a.
well as in all other business mat
tiers and we most heartily com
mend the members of the board
who, against opposition, stood

ITO Much Prosperity"

speaker cannon is quoted as
asserting that "what is the
matter of the country is that
there is too d-n much prosper
ity." The assertion is almost
literally true, if not quite. In
all lines and manufactures the
mills, founderies and factories
are crowded with orders and are
months behind in delivery; the
railways have not sufficient cars
to transport the freight offering,
yet all the car shops are working
all the time to fill their orders
for cars; and with the cars that
have been loaded and started
toward their various destinations
there are not sufficient loco
motives to haul all of them,
so that every newspaper has
accounts of crowded side tracks
and blockaded yards in their
respective towns, yet all the loco
motive factories in the country
are working overtime to try and
catch up with the orders for
more locomotives. no store in
the land can keep up its stock.
for the reason that orders are so
slow in being filed, and hardly
any order can be filled entirely
because in some one or more
articles all the stores in a town
are out, although shipments or
orders for such goods are long
overdue; many houses, buildings
and other structures are stand
ing party complete, awaiting
shipments of lumber, structural
work or tinishings of some kind;
labor of all kinds is scarce, none
need to be without employment,
and wages are rising; but with
it all the business man or house
holder is subjected to vexatious
and expensive delays. No
wonder Mr.. Cannon has exclaimed
that there is "too d-n much
prosperity" Contrast this con-
dition with that in 1898, just
after the last Democratic admin
istration was inaugurated. Mills
and factories shut down all over
the country; goods laying on
shelves of stores and in ware
house unsold; railways cutting
out trains and laying off loco
motive and train crews and dis
charging shopmen; and thous-
ands of hungry men wandering
about the country in search OF
of employment. Yet there are
thousands OF people who would
return to power the party under
which there was so much distress,
and displace that under whose
benehcent administration the un.
paralleled prosperity that is now
upon the country was fostered
and made possible. But the
majority of the American people
will not think of that so long as
there remains in the public mine
recollection of the distressing
days of 1898.

A Letter From Manila.

W. IL. bIdHt, OF lnlS city, WHO
served with Co. M. in the
Philippines has received a letter
from ]. G. Lang who was then
with the hospital corps, now in
the Internal Revenue office.
From the letter the following
extracts are made, which will be
interesting to all others who
served in Manila

circulating library.
81 have been to Camp Dewey, but l
hardly knew it, There is no race track
on it as some reported, but the whole is
overgrown with grass. When l was
down there the low part was under water
and l waded ankle deep. The only
landmarks found of Camp Dewey days
remaining were the big royal palm half
way between the camp and the firing
line, the crossroads and the old wreck
which was on our left flank OH the beach.
Nice residences have been built on the
beach as far out as where our hospital
station was located at the English club
house.
THE street cars run as far as the San
Juan bridge, out Santa Mesa way.
Around the bridge on both sides of the
river is native village of nipa houses.
There is little left of San Juan del Monte
save the large house to the right of the
road at the top near the church.
"a week ago Saturday and Sunday
took trip covering 27o miles which cost
me 81, gold. From what l could see
and find out in the Provinces everybody
is kept busy and doing fairly we'll.
The street cars will soon go as far as
Mckinley, up on the river beyond
Guadalupe. They have taken strip of
land from the bay over mile long and

the mouth of the Pasig past the Lru1eta
and part way toward Malate. This is
gradually being filled in by dredges and
will be sold or leased for ware houses, so
in very short time the palms will he
almost in the centre of the city. Most
of the meats around the wall have been
filled and the big earth works between
the walled city and the bay are now
being taken down. You may not believe
it-nor would | if had not seen it-but
right under those big mounds run subter-
ranean passages, bricked up and covered
with heavy wood and steel. But it will
be leveled so no stone will remain upon
another, the ground to be sloped from
the walls and the whole turned into a
park.
