any part of the country as to entries and
stockholders. Many Of those at the

Keep
Your Nerve

1t is nerve energy that runs
the organs Of your body. The
storage battery is the nerve
cells in the brain and spinal
cord, and from this battery
nerve force is sent out through
the system Of nerves. To keep
the body healthy you must
have plenty of nerve force; if
YOU have not, the organs work
imperfectly, the circulation is
sluggish, digestion bad, appe-
tite poor, kidneys inactive, and
aches, pains and misery are
the penalty.
You can keep the system
strong with DR.. Miles Nervine.
1t assists in generating nerve
energy; it strengthens the
nerves and makes the whole
system strong and vigorous.
~ take pleasure in recommending
Or. Miles Nervine to those suffering
from nervous prostratlon, insomnia
and melancholy. After several
months suffering from above diseases
tried his medicine and found immc-
date relief. II sootheS and strength

gives the sufferer renewed strength
and hope. 1t IS n superb nerve re-
storer."

Newspapers and Banks.

Congressman Dalzell has II bill to
fine and imprison anyone publishing
false reports about the condition of a
national bank. AS a matter of fact,
this ofense is very uncommon, espe-
cially among the newspapers.
This fact has developed very
clearly in the last few weeks, when
the press of the country. while pub
fishing the financial news, has been
careful not to enlarge upon it or eN-
plot it in a way that might cause
general alarm to the people.
When the history of this latest
trouble is finally written it will be
found that the newspaper press of
the country exercised n large amount
of prudence and discretion, and thus
contributed, in no small measure, to-
ward a restoration Of that confidence
which is at the bottom of all business
success. : Colorado Springs Tele-

A Level-Headed Judge.

In the United States district court
ut Denver on Tuesday, Judge Lewis
quashed number of indictments
found against alleged coal and tim

the judge WAS very able and he went
into every detail 30 thoroughly that
the attorneys and special agents for
the government did not have Il leg to
stand ON.
II seems that the interior de-
partment lin its zeal to show to the
people of the country that the gov
ernment was being robbed of thou--
ands of acres of valuable timber and
coal lands) promulgated certain rnles
and regulations concerning the dis
position of these lands, and even
went So far as to declare certain acts
and practices as criminal, although
these acts and practices were In
dulged in long before the regulations
Were issued.
Judge Lewis rightfully held that
congress is the law-making power,
and at no time has it delegated to the
department the power to enact crim-
inal laws. THE laW allows cnal isudS
