CRlTlClSES Mr.. PlNCHOT.
California Congressman Attacks Chief
Forester.

Washington, March ~ in the
house Representative Smith (Cal.)
charged United States Forester Pin
chot with manipulating the forest res
ervation, including Owens river in
California, in the interest of the city
of Los Angeles against the holders of
prior water rights. While he was
speaking Mr.. Pollard of Nebraska con-
suited Mr.. Pinchot over the telephone
and when he returned to the chamber
said that Mr.. Pinchot had told him
that all the members of the California
delegation, including Mr.. Smith, had
requested him to create the reserva-
ton in the interest of Los Angeles.
This statement Mr.. Smith vehemently
denied, as did also Messrs. Kahn,
Knowland, Needham and Englebright.
Following heated remarks by Mr..
Gaines (Tenn.) against the lumber
trust Mr. Mondell (Wyo.) sarcas-
tically said that that gentleman, "for
one who had so rarely attended a
meeting of the committee on public
lands" seemed to be we'll versed on
the subject.
This remark nettled Mr.. Gaines con-
siderably. Shaking his finger at Mr..
Mondell Mr. Gaines declared that he
nevertheless closely followed the leg
islation the people were demanding.

Question of Quarantine Against Cuba
Discussed.

Washington, W. Secretary
Taft had conference with the presi-
dent as to the putting into operation
of quarantine against Cuba owing
to the alleged existence of yellow fe.
YER in that country. 1t was decided to
suspend for one week the putting into
effect of the quarantine pending an
opportunity for Governor Magoon to
pass upon the statement of the marine
hospital authorities that a quarantine
Is necessary. Governor Magoon and
the business men of Cuba claim that
there is no reason why a quarantine
should be enforced at the beginning of
the yellow fever season, while the
authorities of the marine hospital
service, in a report just made to Sec
rotary Cortelyou, insist that the quar-
antine ought to be rigidly enforced as
usual

GENERAL STRIKE, IMMINENT
All Union Men on Gould Roads Pre-
pared to Go Out.

PdFSO 10 40 OUCs
Denver, -. ",-Unless it is Off
cially announced at once that union
labor will be recognized in the shops
of the Denver and Rio Grande railway
the strike of the machinists, boiler
makers and blacksmiths, which has
been in force since March IA, will
spread to the shops of all the other
lines in the Gould system west of the
Missouri river, according to state
ment by J. J.. Mockler, second vice

hood of Blacksmiths. Mockler said
strike vote was taken in the shops of
the Missouri Pacific, the Wabash west
of the Missouri river, the Iron Noun
tain and the Texas and Pacific before
the shopmen on the Rio Grande walked
out and it was only by continuous ef-
forts on the part of the union officers
that the men had been restrained until
now from going on a strike.
The engineers, fremen and train
men on the Denver and Rio Grande
also have the question of SYM
pathetic strike under consideration.

SAYS BACKAGHE is
THE DANGER SIGNAL
Gives Prescription Said to Prevent
and Relieve Serious Kidney
Trouble.

More people succomb each year
to some form of kidney trouble
than any other cause. The slight
est form of kidney arrangement
often develops into Bright's kid
ney disease, diabetes or dropsY.
When either of these diseases are
suspected the sufferer should at
once seek the best medical atten-
ton possible. Consult only good
frst-class physician, leave patent
medicines alone.
There are many of the lesser
symptoms of kidney trouble which
can be treated at home is stated
by a well-known authority. For
some of these, such as backache,
pain in the region of the kidneys,
weak bladder, frequency, Especially
at night) painful scalding and other
urinary troubles, try the following
simple home remedy: Fluid Ex-
tract Dandelion, one-half ounce;
Compound Kargon, one ounce; Com
pound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three
ounces. These simple ingredients
are harmless and can be obtained
at any good prescription pharmacy
and anyone can mix them by shak-
ing we'll in a bottle. The dose
for adults is a teaspoonful after
each meal and again at bed
time.
There is no better general remedy
known to relieve all forms of rheu-
matism either, because it acts dir
ectly upon the kidneys and blood.
It cleans the clogged up pores in
the kidneys so they can filter and
strain from the blood the poisonous
uric acid and waste matter which
if not eliminated remain in the
blood, decompose and settle about
the joints and muscular tissues
causing untold suffering and deform-
ity Of rheumatism.
Backache is natures signal noti-
tying the sufferer that the kidneys
are not acting properly. Take
care of your Kidneys" is now the
PHYSICIANS advice to his patients.

FORClBLE, BUT TRUE.

and let the sun and moon out, but

TERMINATES LONG SLEEP
Volcano In Guatemala Suddenly Be-
comes Active.

San Francisco, 49, .-fne
steamer Panama brought news of a
volcano in Guatemala, so long extinct
that It's name has been forgotten, hav-
ing recently broken out. It's long sleep
terminated three weeks ago with such
terrifying mutterings and spouting of
lava and smoke that the people living
at San Fillipe. at the base of the
mountain, are fleeing for their lives.
Opposite the new volcano is Santa
Maria, volcano which during the last
200 years has wiped out town after
town.
The inhabitants of the district fear
a repetition of the Santa Maria catas-
trophe and are therefore deserving
the mountainside. Already the coun-
try for miles is covered some inches
deep with dust and ashes from the
active mountains.

WAGE CUT IN EFFECT.
Sixty Thousand Cotton Mill Oper-
atves Suffer Reduction.

Boston, $500 ~ <--The general re-
duction of 10 per cent in the wages of
New England cotton mill operatives,
which was recently decided upon, be-
came effective Monday in mills en-
ploying $4,000 persons. Next Monday
the movement will apply to the pay of
as many more. The reduction Is due
to the depression of the cotton goods
market, which forced many mills to
curtail production. The city of Fall
River, Lawrence and Berkshire coun-
ty, are not included in the general re-
duction, but may be affected later on.
The curtailment is general through
out New England at the present time.
The average curtailment is placed at
from 20 to Is per cent of the produc-
ton.

miles south of Kenmare, has been
murdered and R. S. Noah and Patsy
Coyle are in Jail charged with the

had left him and Coyle, who is said
to be an ex-convict, to run his farm
in his absence. They commenced to
sell grain and stock from the farm

a trapdoor.
Noah and Coyle were arrested and
deputies have been sent from Minot
