Less than five years ago Mr.. Hill

Montant untt1-the agitation ceased!

they have a right to and does not
tell the truth to his stockholders? The
conservative New York Evening Post,
which is not edited by Eugene Debs,
says Mr.. Hills reports are IAN insult

ers."
Stop Over Privileges.
The Great Northern road has re-
Gently advertised a round-trip rate Of
$50 from st. Paul to Seattle and re-
turn with liberal stop-over privileges.
Stop over privileges put the round
trip passenger on the same basis, as
far as the road is concerned, as a
number Of local passengers equal to
the number Of stops permitted. Now,
that round "trip rate of $50 is a rate of
$3.50 per 1000 miles, or a fraction
more than a. cent and half mile.
So a man and his wife, with 800
pounds of baggage, travel at the rate
of $3.50 per 100 miles for both, while
on the same train and in tho same car,
going through Montana, for example,
is one Montana man, with no baggage
except deck Of cards and bottle Of
cough medicine, who pays $3 to- riAe
the sazne 100 miles. = Nh, ro4 is

the company tell the people the road

dity locally for 81!
viii Railroads Lose Money?
They ask the people to believe that
the company will lose money If it
sells to one man for less than 50 what
it is rustling to get another man to
buy for $685.. Ten tourists riding 100
miles in Montana pay $16.5o. while ten
common Montana citizens on the same
train pay $50 for the same distance.
What becomes Of the principle of
equal service at equal rates?
At this time the Southern Pacific
and the Santa F'e are Offering low
rates to the east and return, and the
offered rates figure approximately: To
New York and return, $14.43 per 1000
miles; Washington D. c., $14.77; Chi

EMPEROR 35 YEARS OF AGE.
Titular Ruler Only Of the Chinese
Empire.

EilpiTts
Washington, Aug 1.-The dragon
flag of the Celestial Empire was dis
played over the Chinese legation to-
day in token of the fact that this was
the birthday of the emperor, Kuang
Hsu. Born August 2, 1872, the pres
ent emperor of China, at 35 years. of
age, is probably the least known to
the great rulers of the world, and this
despite the fact that his domain in
extent and population has few equals
and his country is a center of great
attraction and interest for the rest of
the world.
Kuang Hsu is said to be popular
with the Intelligent element among his
subjects. and it is believed that were
he able to shake off the domination
of the dowager empress he would aid
I'm bringing about liberal reforms in
China. Foreign diplomats who have
resided at Pekin speak well of the
young emperor. But so long as the
old dowager retains her power there Is
little hope of bringing about better
conditions in the Flowery Kingdom.

n number of leaders of the local Greek
colony, and wholesale indictments
against offenders are promised by
federal officials. The system is said
to be elaborate and extensive in its
ramifications, with the result that
thousands of boys are held in virtual
slavery. The boys are lured TO
America by promises of good en-
ployment and after their arrival here
are taken in charge by proprietors of
Greek shoe shining parlors, ice cream

The Limit of Life.

The most eminent medical scien-
lists are unanimous in the conclusion
that the generally accepted limitation
of human life is many years below
the attainment possible with the ad-
vanced knowledge Of which the race
is now possessed. The critical period,
that determines its duration, seems
to be between so and go; the proper
care of the body during this decade
cannot be too strongly urged; care
lessness then being fatal to longevity.

FOUNDER OF KENNEwICK.
Interesting Story Of the Rise Of a Rich
Irrigated District.


A correspondent from Kehnewick
wrote to the walla walla Union the
following sketch of the founding and
founder of Kennewick. Washington:
BY transfer of all stocks of the
Kennewick Land company to Arie
Hover and ]. ]. Schniffer of this city,
H. A. Hover, one of the land kings
of Washington, has severed his con-
nection with the well-known Kenne-
wick real estate firm.
The work connected with this gi-
gantic transaction involved con-
sideration of s325.00O and the deal
was completed Monday morning in
the office of the Trustee company of
Spokane. Over three weeks were
taken by large corps of bookkeep-
ers and auditors to complete the
work.
The acquaintance OF H. A. Hover,
resigned, and the many friends of A.
Hover and j. j. Schniffer will be in
terested in the brief sketch of H. A.
Hover, the man who won a fortune
in six years. Mr.. Hoover began his
career in the land business starting
on capital of $500. A short time
later he purchased the townsite OF
Kennewick and a large amount OF
land under the Kennewick canal.
This company has been the poten
factor in developing that sage brush
settlement of only 21 Inhabitants, t.
a thriving little city for which ar'
claimed 1000 people with tribu
tary population of 1000 more, in onl!
four years.
About this time Mr.. Hover took VI
government claim, which was ais
under the Kennewick canal, wher
Hover, now a town of about 400 in
habitants, was plated one year age

FOR STOMACH SUFFERERS.

Mi-o-na is the one remedy for
stomach troubles that publishes its
formula: chemically pure bismuth
subgallate, to allay any inflammation
of the stomach and bowels; cerium
oxalate, to strengthen the stomach
nerves: sodium bI-carbonate, to neu-
tralize the poisonous acids that are
present in stomach troubles; and nux
vomica, which restores vigor to the
digestive organs and tones up the
whole nervous system.
This combination OF valuable rem
edies is found only in Moo ma stom-
ach tablets, and 1t so rarely fails to
strengthen the digestive system, and
cure even the worst form OF stomach
trouble, that Tallman G. Co. sell the
remedy under guarantee to refund the
money unless 1t cures.

Weston, Aug. 2.-Flattering reports
of big wheat yields continue to come
in from the different ranches in this
vicinity Many 60-bushel yields have
already been reported. With the
rrice way up and such a harvest,
Weston farmers wear a smile that

SOlD|tR- EXECUTIVE
A ROOSEVELT TYPE
Fearless and Diplomatic Capable
of Thinking For HimSelf--Re-
Ceived Informal Reception
and Spent Pleasant
Evening.

Captain George w. Curry, recently
appointed governor of New Mexico
by the president, vice II. j. Hager-
man, removed, spent several hours in
this city last evening and was enter
tanned by a number of his old
friends.
The governor Is en- route to Ros-
well from where he will either go to
Washington direct or to Santa Fe,
where he will take the oath of office
and later go to Washington.
Captain Curry has seen a whole lot
of the world, some hard campaigning
and some rough life since he left New
Mexico to serve as a soldier
But his old friends declare that he
has changed but little in appearance.
He carries himself as a solder but
he is the same amiable, optimistic
fearless and capable George Curry.
Among those who greeted the new
governor as an old friend and who
spent the evening with him were w.
b. Childers, w. S. Hopewell, w. S.
Stricken E. w. Dobson, A. A. Keen,
and Elfego Baca.
After a dinner at the Sturges ho-
tel the governor spent the balance
of the evening at the homes OF
| friends in this city until the arrival
of his train for e Paso.
| While impromptu and informal the
| occasion was an enjoyable one and
| the time before the train was due,
proved only too short.
| The new governor did not discuss
politics with newspaper men, al
though newspaper man met him al
the train and tried TO secure a state.
| ment from him.
Governor Curry has not yet taker
| the oath of office and he feared thai
| 1t would seem indelicate on his part
TO enter political discussion at this
| time.
The many friends who saw hin
| last night, however, were given tC
understand that the new governor
would first and foremost, do all In
| his power to aid in adjusting loca
political feuds and differences. Or
| the other hand. he will carry out the
national Administrations policy il
| New Mexico. He will be an eXpon'
ent of the square deal' and he will
support the republican organization
| II is also said that the new govern
or believes strongly in Roosevelt anC
that he is republican of the Roose
welt stripe and just as fearless.
While Governor Curry, with com
mendable reticence did not care e
be quoted in any manner, his friends
feel assured that George Curry will
| be governor in every sense OF th'
word and will not be the whip cracl
for any self seeking faction.
| Governor curry, Wnlle not pOSte'
in detail on some Of the recent po
litical events in New Mexico, never
theless possesses a good genera
knowledge of political condition
here and he will make himself full,
acquainted with all details before h
acts in any manner.
Governor Curry stated to Citizel
reporter asst evening that he wa
happy to be again in the Sunshin
Territory and that he had often long
ed for his old New Mexico hom
while serving his country In tn
Philippines. New Mexico welcome
him back with equal pleasure.

From Rains.
CITY COMPLETELY
ISOLATED TO-DAY

Lacrosse, Wis. July 22.-All trains
on the Milwaukee, Northwestern and
burlington railway systems between
Chicago and st. Paul are tied up as
result of a washout following a
heavy rainstorm. Not a train on any
road moved out of Lacrosse for
twelve hours, and it is not known
when they will get through to Chi
cago
Lacrosse is cut off from rail COM
munication in every direction. Tele-
graph and telephone lines went down
also, but were partially restored to-
day. Much damage was done to
crops. One farmer near Lacrosse
lost 100 head of cattle, which Were
drowned.
Damage Is Great.
This storm was one of the worst
that ever visited this section of the
state and the amount of damage 1t
has caused in Lacrosse alone will run
into thousands of dollars, while the
loss in the surrounding country will
be equally large.
In the city houses We're under
mined, pavements washed out, sew
ers stopped and much other damage
done. In the country, in addition
to the washing away and beating
down of crops and fruit, animals
were drowned in large numbers as
they were unable to seek shelter from
the storm.
The storm resembled a cloudburst
though it continued for hours, hence
it was rather a terrific rain storm
accompanied by high winds and
| thunder and lightning.

ITALIANS RIOT WHEN
MINISTER IS
ARRESTED
Object to Charge of Embezzle.
ment Against SlgnOr
NunZiO NdSi.

Rome, Italy, July 22.-Rioting of
a serious character is occurring in
Sicily because of the arrest of Sig
nor Nunzlno Nasi, former minister of
public instruction. on a charge of
embezzlement in office. Mass meet
ings to protest against the arrest
were held Sunday in many towns,
following which, in several instances,
disorders occurred.
At Palermo, where the most serl-
Gus trouble occurred, one man was
killed and many injured. Troops
were called out to suppress the dis
order.
The senate has been called In ex-
traordinary session and its president
will submit to the members the order
of Nasi's arrest. 1t is believed that
the senate will agree to Nasi's tenn
porary release, and on November 4
will convene as a high court and try
the former minister.
