NERVOUS HEADACHES
Dr.. WiIliams' Pink Pills viii Cure
Most Cases and Should Interest
Every Sufferer,

Nobody who has not endured the
suffering caused by nervous head
hche can realize the awful agony OF
Its victims. Worst Of all. the ordin-
Rry treatment cannot be relied upon
10 euro nor even to give relief. Some
doctors will say that II person is
subject to these headaches there is
nothing that can be done to prevent
their recurrence.
Nervous headaches. as well as neu-
ralgia. are caused by lack OF nutrition
tho nerves are starved. The only
way to feed the nerves is through the
blood and It is in this way that DR..
Williams Pink Pills have accom-
plished SO many remarkable cures.
Mrs. Addie Merrill, OF 80 Union
Street. Auburn. Me. says: For
years l suffered from nervous head
sches. which would come on me every
ave or six weeks and continue for
Ieveral days. The pain was SO severe
that l would be obliged to 60 to bed
for three or four days each time. 1t
was particularly intense over my right
eye. l tried medicines but got no re-
lief. I had no appetite and when
the headache passed away felt as II
had been sick for n month. My
blood was thin and was pale, weak
Ind reduced In weight
Il read about DR.. Williams Pink
Pills in a paper and decided to try
them. first noticed that they be-
gan to give me an appetite and
commenced to gain in weight and

GREELEY CAR SHORTAGE.
Dealers Cannot Ship Potatoes East o.
South,

Dcnver.-A Republican special from
Greeley says: Potato dealers have
practically been forced out Of business
because of the shortage of cars. the
lack of shipping facilities being worse
than in the late fall, when every posi-
Bile effort was made to get cars.
The Union Pacific will furnish cars
only tosthc Pacific coast. where there Is
no demand for potatoes. Cars cannot
be obtained to ship into Denver and
there be transferred. as was allowed n
month ago. The 500 or COO cars owned
by the railroad company are all on the
western coast and will not return in
time to be used for the remainder OF
the potato crop.
The bulk of orders for this district
come from Texas and dealers abso.
lutcly refused to quote prices for Texas
points. Now and then car is obtained
from the Colorado 4 Southern road
and sent to old customers In Texas
but the supply In no way equals the de-
mand. Twothirds OF the potatoes have
gone to market. There are $500 to j.,
carloads on hand. Farmers are selling
freely and dealers are buying at from
co to so cents hundred. hoping that
later cars may be secured for the crop
marketed.
January 9th dealer shipped car.
load of potatoes to Kansas City. The
merchant, after reasonable delay,
wired for information and the car was
found in the Denver yards. 1t reached
Kansas City February I'd, n sufficient
time to have shipped It to Europe. The
Greeley Commercial Club wired to-day
to General Manager Hohler at Omaha
for immediate relief and has asked the
legislators from this section to help
alleviate the car shortage.

Grand Forks, April 1.-The plans for

Chile Is Not Represented
BY Minister at Washington

Washington, April 1.-Chiles failure
to send minister to Washington to
replace Mr.. Walker Martinez, who did
not return here after the Pan meri-
can conference at Rio Janeiro last
summer has caused much comment
The neglect of the Chilean congress to
appropriate sufficient money to main
tain the legation has been given as a
reason for leaving the American mis-
sion in chargesof Alberto Joachim, sec
rotary OF, the legation. But it has just
become known that the real reason was
hidden deep in Latin American politics.
Chile decided it would be a good idea
to have an ambassador in Washington,
and steps were taken to DISCOVER what
the United States thought about the
proposed elevation of the Chilean rep
resentative to Washington. Brazil had
an ambassador and Chile left that a
similar honor should be accorded to it
by the United States,
The suggestion that the Chilean en-
voy might be raised to ambassadorial
rank set all Latin-America on edge and
general movement was instituted by
the southern republics to head off such
movement. Argentina, being
unfriendly to Chile, was especially OPP
posed to the plan, as Brazil and Chile
tina did not want hef two strongest

France Will Have Garden in Heart of

Paris, April Ito most people a
rosary means just a plot of ground set
Iapsrt exclusively for roses. That,
however, is only like the hasty as
IsHmptions of the ordinary person. A
rosary in its real sense Is something
much more than this. 1t must contain
a specimen of every known species and
variety. AT present there are believed
to be only three in Europe which has
come up to this standard. Two Of
these are in Germany, and the third
is at L'Tfay, near Paris. France, how

Excitement at a Fire in Griscom's Res
idence in Rome.
: Rome, April 1.--While Lloyd G.. Girls
com, the American ambassador and
Mrs. Griscom, were returning from the
Easter services at the American church
today, they saw smoke rising from the
roof of their home, the Palazzo del
Drago. Mr.. Griscom hurriedly entered
the building and found the servants
were unaware that the palace was on
fire. The ambassador led the way to
the attic. Flames burst forth as he
opened the door and burned his hand
and singed his eyebrows. When the
firemen arrived, the beams, which were
put in place centuries ago, were burn
ing briskly. The roof over the attic
collapsed, causing the center portion of
the ceiling of the magnificent ballroom
to fall. The furniture and paintings
were quickly removed, but not before
several of the latter, notably one OF
President Roosevelt, were damaged. 81
+ After working two hours, the firemen
succeeded in checking the blaze. The
loss is estimated at $4,000 and is cot-
erred by insurance

ASSESSED The
GAS FRANCHISE
GRAND FORKS CONCERN MAKES
A PROTEST.
County Commissioners Assessed the
Franchise for $4,000 and the Com
pany Claims it Is of No Value
Matter Threshed Over Today.

Grand Forks, N. d., April AT the
session of the board of county commits
sioners today the matter of the assess
ment of the franchise of the Grand
Forks Gas '&s Electric Co. came up for
adjustment, it is understood. The
franchise was assessed at $4,000, and
the company protested against this as
sessment taking the position before
the city council that the franchise was
of no value, hence that it should not
be taxed. The matter is of considera-
BILE interest to the city, and to every
taxpayer in it, and from the sum in
volved the interest of the city taxpayer
is far greater than that of the county
taxpayers. On the assessment of $40
900 the total tax will be about $25,00O
OF practically all of this sum the TAX
payers of the city will be deprived If
the assessment is annulled. The share
of the county proper in the tax is but
$3.50, with about $3.50 more for roads,
bridges and county schools. The WHIP
ing out of this tax means a good deal
to the people of Grand Forks city, and
the sum involved is too large TO be
permitted to lapse.
The property of the company Is as
sessed at 100000. according to infor-
nation given, which is on basis Jf
actual valuation of approximately a
quarter of a. million dollars. This COW
ers real estate, personal property and
franchise, the entire assets of the come
pany. There is probably no one at all
familiar with the subject who would
consider a quarter of million dollars
high price for the property.
The question of the exact value of a
franchise is always a difficult matter
to determine, but that such franchise
has some, value is seldom questioned
It is not long since the, Grand Forks
Gas & Electric Co. in advertising new
issue of bonds, laid stress In its an
nouncements on its possession of this
very franchise which it now holds
should not be taxed because 1T has no
value. People who have devoted some
study to the subject are of the opinion
that an asset which is valuable enough
to use as the basis for a bond issue in
the conservative money markets OF the
east is valuable enough to tax.
