ST. PAUL PASS TUNNEL is IRA
vERsED FOB FIRST TIME
At NOON SUNDAY.
1AF1'S kNtLL SOUNDED
Marks the End Of the Existence Of
Construction Camp Remarkable for
Its Many sided Career-Northern
Pacific Closes Its Station Today.

At IL minutes past noon yesterday
the first train through the st. Paul
pass tunnel on the Chicago, Milwaukee
& st. Paul railway stopped at the
east end of the big bore and regis
tered. 1t was an event of some local
Importance to the people up on the
divide, as it marked the end Of the
existence of the town of Taft. The
train stopped at the east end Of the
tunnel yesterday and will today con-
tinue the construction work in which
it's crew is engaged
Today at z o'clock a. m. the North
ern Pacific will close it's station at
Taft, where all of the material for the
construction of the tunnel Of the st.
Paul has been handled, and there will
be no more shipments accepted for
Taft. The last bit of freight has been
consigned there, and the town is in
the evening of it's existence.
Two Years Old.
Taft is two years old; in the "a
months of it's existence 1t has seen
more excitement and has been the
scene of more stirring incidents than
many towns 200 years old. Twice it
was destroyed by fire and twice re-
built. 1t was a lively place, but it
was never the disreputable camp that
it was painted by sensationalists. 1t
was a brisk frontier construction camp
and never anything worse.
There are now at Taft two stores,
two saloons and restaurant. 1t is
said that there are plenty of supplies
in these places to last until the time
comes to close up the doors and nail
up the windows, so the people can get
along without the railway station for
the brief period that remains.
End Comes Soon.
There are a few men left at the
tunnel, engaged in cleaning up, but all
of the heavy work is done and the
handful of men remaining will be
needed but a short time. When they
are laid off the end of Taft will have
come. But for the few remaining
days of her career the breezy little
town will have a mighty quiet time.

STATEMENT OF NINE. SWIFT
Beauty Specialist. to Women Lacking
In Energy and Vitality.

! Thousands of women vainly attempt
to improve their compilations and to
remove blackheads. crows feet and
other blemishes, through the use OF
cosmetics. This treatment fails be,
cause the trouble lies far deeper t1an
the skin. They are suffering from
impure and impoverished BLOOD. This
condition is in many cases due to a
catarrhal condition of the whole sys
tenn which finds its expression in sal
low, muddy complexion, dark-circled
eyes general weakness Of the system
and perhaps most plainly in the weep
ing mucous membranes that is com
monty called catarrh.
In fact, the whole tendency is, prop
erly speaking, Catarrh. Danish this
catarrh, and the complexion will clear
as If by magic. eyes will brighten,
faces become rosy and shoulders erect.
Perfect beauty goes only with perfect
health and perfect health for woman
can only only be obtained through one
treatment-that which will cure ca
tarrh.
Nine. Swift, of New York, the fam
Gus beauty specialist, known through
out the world as an accepted author
.ity on all relating thereto. states that
the one positive and permanent relief
for catarrh is RexaN Mucu-Tone. Here
is her letter:
"I can strongly endorse the claims
made for Rexa1l Mucu-Tone as a cure
for systematic catarTh. Its tonic 81
fects are remarkable. 1t builds up
the strength and restores vitality. II
women who are tired and run down,
lacking in energy and vitality, will
use Rexall Mucu!Tone, they will
praise as do it's strengthening and
healing qualities
RexaH Mucu-Tone works through
the blood, acting thus upon the nj
GUS cells-the congestion and inflam'
nation Of which causes local catarrh.
This remedy causes poison to be ex-
PEELED from the system, and the blood
is purified and revttalized. Thus the
natural functions of the mucous cells
are restored, and the mebranes are
cIeansed and made strong. We know
that Rexall Mucu-Tone does relieve ca
'tarrh. We positively guarantee to re
fund the money paid us for this rem
edy in every case where the user is

ANCIENT DYNAMITE.

One Of the steam shoyels engaged
in work on the Panama canal, in the
operation Of which more than 800
employees were engaged, recently
lifted out a quantity of dynamite
which is described in an official re-
port as being more than a bushcl."
What would have happened if the
shovel had struck the dynamite in
stead of the earth around it is easy
ito imagine.
The explosive was in sticks three
quarters of an inch in diameter and
five inches long and the cartridges
bore the trademark of a French
manufacturer Of dynamite and a
date which appeared to be November
30, 1887.
Unquestionably the dynamite was
put in by the French and either
failed to explode or was abandoned
when the work ceased. The dyna,
mite appeared to be in perfect con
dition.
