In sickness, if a certain hidden
nerve goes wrong, then the organ
that this nerve controls will also
surely fail. 1t may be a Stomach
nerve. or it may have given strength
and support to the Heart or Kid
neys. 1t was DIR. Shoop that first
pointed to this vital truth. DR..
Shoop's Restorative was not made
to dose the Stomach nor to tempo
rarily stimulate the Heart or Kid
neys. That old fashioned method
is all wrong. DR.. Shoop's Restora-
tive goes directly to these failing
inside nerves. The remarkable sue
cess of this prescription demonstra-
ties the wisdom of treating the ac-
tual cause of these failing organs
And it is indeed easy to prove. A
simple five or ten days test will sure
ly tell. Try it once and see! Solo

CROOkEDNESS IN BRIDGE BUILD.
INC?

Graft or attempted graft is alleged
in connection with the letting of tn,
contract for bridge in Lexington
county, and the grand jury is inves
tigating.
The State has had indefinite re-
ports about Counties being victim
lied by bridge builders, and some of
the statements have come SO straight
that there must be something crook
ed. In Lexington it is alleged that
officials are implicated, but our in
formation regarding the methods OF
procedure in other counties indica.
ted that the county officials were
the innocent victims Of combine
of representatives of bridge builders.
1t is alleged that certain territory is
allotted to a certain concern. and
that while number bid on the
work in that territory, the rcpresen-
tative of the company to when the
territory belongs is allowed to make
the lowest bid-at tremendous adj
vance above the real value. In that
way the business is divided. with
very large profits on every contract.
If the representative Of a concern
outside the combine Quits in" and
proposes making a legitimate bid
he is bought off, or warned that if
he persists the combine will see that
he gets no business elsewhere.
Some time ago, when the letting
of big bridge contract was adver-
tised. The State armed a detective
reporter with plans, intending to get
at the inside of the hold-up game if
it existed, but the opening of bids
was indefinitely postponed.
While the investigation is being
conducted in Lexington, it would be
well for county officials elsewhere
to provide proper safeguards through
the employment of honest experts.
And where counties have awarded
large contracts, and all the money is

DESERT CORRESPONDENT
Doubts Are Thrown to the
Winds and Those Who
Went to Scott Remained
to Worship at the Shrine
of Gold.

Wendendale, March "a Especial
correspondence Of The Republican,
Columns have already been written
concerning the new gold strike in the
hills between the railroad towns Of
Salome and Vicksburg, and TWO and
one-half miles from the neN town of
Winchester, located at the old Desert
mine, and we suppose reams will be
written hereafter. Most Of these
articles are from a scientific. or pseu-
do-scientific, standpoint, but this is
simply a statement II what we saw
Having heard any number of conflict
ing opinions regarding the strike. we
concluded to visit the GLORY Hole"
and see for ourselves. We shall now
try to satisfy the curiosity of such Of
our readers as wish TO know what we
did and saw. and viii tell you, in plain
English. devoid Of technicalities.
We arrived in Vicksburg on the aft
ernOOn train, took the stage to the
new town Of Winchester. After an ex-
cellent dinner and breakfast and
good nights rest we departed on foot
for the new strike two and one-half
miles away. \ good wagon road goes
within about a mile of the Glory Hole.
trail the rest Of the way. We ar
rived about 1890 stood around for a
short time and watched the two men
who. with pick and shovel, were work
ing in the open cut fifteen feet In the
side Of the hill At the right side. and
midway of the cut, was a hole about
three feet deep-and two feet wide. Mr.
Sharp, son Of the president Of the COM
pany. who was working in the bottom
Of this hole. informed US that $500
worth OF gold ore had been taken out of
this cavity the day before Mr.. Sharp
was at work with small pick, follow
ing the seam as it went down, and
digging out the ore. The seam is from
one 10 four inches in width and the
ore is one-half to one-third gold. After
due inspection. Mr. Sharp evidently
concluded that we were honest and
began showing US the gold as fast as
he took it out. Before long we were
helping. and assisted in digging out
one of the finest specimens yet taken
from the strike, a piece several inches
in length and about three inches in
width and two inches thick, just cover
ed with gold. Afterward a shot was
put in and several huge pieces of rock
thrown down. Across one OF tneSe
pieces were several seams Of the Won
derful ore, just full Of free gold. When
you think that the gold runs from
100000 to 100000 per ton, you can
understand why people are getting
gold fever.
Well. we came, we saw and We are
satisfied. Now, we beg the dear peo-
pie not to come rushing in expecting to
see the gold sticking out Of the hill
in handfuls ready to be picked up as
specimens. The gold is there, but it
belongs to somebody else. and he prob
ably is too busy mining it to entertain
visitors. Had we not gravely informed
the gentlemen in charge of the Glory
Hole that we We're newspaper re
pOrters and intended to write some
thing, and that it was impossible to
lose US until we heard and saw all
we came to learn. we should probably
have received rather scant attention.
