fIADE FROr1 NATIVE ROOTS.
SAFE AND RELIABLE.

That the roots of many native plants
growing wild in our American forests,
possess remarkable properties for the cure
of human maladies Is well proven. Even
the untutored Indian had learned the
curative value of some of these and
taught the early settlers their uses. The
Indian never liked work so he wanted his
sQuaw to get well as soon as possible that
she might do the work and let him hunt.
Therefore, he dug "papoose root for her,
for that was their great remedy for fe-
male weaknesses. Dr. Pierce uses the
same rootr-called Blue Cohosh-in his
uFavorite Prescription" skillfully COM
bined with other agents that make it
more effective than any other medicine in
curing all the various weaknesses and
painful arrangements peculiar TO women.
Many afflicted women have been saved
from the operating table and the sur
geon's knife by the timely use of Doctor
fierce's Favorite Prescription. Tender
ness over the lower pelvic region, with
backache, spells OF dizziness, faintneSs,
bearing down pains or distress should not
go unheeded. A course Of "EavOrlte Pre-
scription" will work marvellous benefit
in all such cases, and generally effect a
permanent cure II persisted in for a rea-
sonable length Of time The "FayOrite
Prescription" is harmless agent, being
wholly prepared from native medicinal
roots, without drop Of alcohol in It's
make up, whereas all other medicines,
put up for sale through druggists for
woman's peculiar ailments, contain large
quantities of spirituous liquors, which
are very harmful, especially TO delicate
women. "Favorite Prescription con-
tains neither alcohol nor harmful habit
forming drugs. All its Ingredients are
printed on each bottle wrapper, 1t is a
powerful invigorating tonic, imparting
health and strength in particular TO the
organs distinctly feminine, For weak
and sickly women, who are "worn- out"
or debilitated, especially for women who
work in store, office, or school room, who
sit at the typewriter or sewing machine
or bear heavy household burdens, and for
nursing mothers, DR.. Plerce's Fayorlte

RETIRED AT 70 IN CHICAGO
Illinois Central Official Gets Testimo-
nial of Regard
BY Associated Press.


CHICAGO, Jan. 2.-Of all the holi-
day gifts dropped into Chicago stock
ings during the closing days of 1906
one of the most unique and most high
ly priced was that which came to
Charles Angelo Beck in the form of a
set of resolutions on his retirement,
at the age of 20 years, as chairman of
the board of pensions of the Illinois
Central railroad.
Mr.. Beck's relief from official harness
came as a result of the company's in
violable rule to retire all employees at
20.
When his associates on the board of
pensions of the Illinois Central retired
him they carried out a resolution of
giving him a parting memorial of his
fifty years of service in which he rose
from telegraph operator and freight
clerk, an obscure office. to general
manager and assistant vice president
The memorial is in the form of an
illuminated book of resolutions bound
in russet morocco, lined with silk of
the same shade, lettered in old English
text, the Illumination being in shades
of gold and purple.
Mr.. Beck began his service for the
Illinois Central September 8, 1856, as
operator and clerk at Dunleith. ILL.,,
and ended his service of fifty years and
one and one-third months November
1 as chairman of the board of pensions,
which board he organized.
Mr.. Beck's retirement is on half the
salary he received as chairman of the
board of pensions.

That Gould means to invade hereto.
fore exclusive Hartman territory is re-
garded as evident by the acquisition OF
the Nevada Central.
The road runs from Battle Mountain,
New, on the main line of the Southern
Pacific, to Austin, ninety-three miles
south, and will figure in a new short

The line when completed will give
Gould the advantage over Hartman of
234 miles into Goldfield and 450 miles to

Although the new line will be longer
by 100 miles than the Salt Lake route,
it will pass through the richest mining
district in America. On its way to Los

COUNCILMAN IS
FOUND GUILTY
VIOLATES A CITY ORDINANCE
AND is FINED
Clampitt, Whose Seat in Council Is
Being Contested in Courts, Con-
victed of Violating
Oil Laws

Il. A. Clampitt, councilman-elect from
the Second war, chuckled over the tele-
phone last Saturday when relating the
fact that he had been served with a
warrant charging him with an infrac-
tion of the oil ordinance in permitting
oil to flood a thoroughfare.
The councilman -elect chuckled be-
cause. as he mirthfully declared, Oil
Inspector Blackmur had been after him
for some time and that now, instead of
the oil inspector catching him, he
(Clampit) had caught the oil inspector.
THE oil isn't mine, and l can prove
it," Clampitt declared, and then he con-
fidentially gave the name of the al
legged owner.
Yesterday Nj, Clampitt was found
guilty by Police Justice Rose, and he
did not even smile when he passed over
s. which the justice assessed the coun-
cilmGn-elect for breaking one of the
laws of the city.
The case occupied the entire morning
session of the court, and Clampitt was
on the witness stand the greater portion
OF the time 1t was shown that Clam
pitt maintained trap hole for collect
ing refuse oil flowing down the cutters,
and it was proved that he had not pre-
vented the hole from overflowing, with
the result that a portion of Cotton
street was flooded with oil from this
source.
There is n strong possibility that
Clampitt will represent the Second ward
in the council for only a short time, as
A. S. Van Degrift, his non partisan OPP
ponent, has filed a petition with the
superior court. and it is confidently ex-
pected by Van Degrift and his friends
that this count will show that he, and
not Clampitt was elected.
