Railway Fight Nears End.

SPOKANE-One of the most bitter
and most determined fights which has
taken place in Spokane in many years
has been waged for over year upon
the applications of the North Coast
and Chicago, Milwaukee & Puget
Sound Railroads for franchises to en-
ter the city. That is, 1t has been
more than a year since the first ap-
plication for a franchise was made,
and neither has yet been granted.
The fight is not yet entirely over,
but it is a fact generally conceded
that the City Council will admit the
railroads without the terminal rate
clause. and upon such other terms as
will be acceptable to the roads.
The one point which remains unset
tied in the public mind is whether the
franchises should be put to a popular
vote before they become valid.

still in a precarious condition. He is
at st. Luke's hospital, Davenport, and

that he will recover, fear that he will
never be able to have the use of his

dispatch was received here late
yesterday afternoon from Washington
stating that the Bettendorf bridge bill
had passed the senate. This means
that the proposed project of the con-
struction of a bridge between Betten-
dorf and Moline is now practically as
sured. The circulation of a petition
for the signatures of the general COM
munity is all that remains for the con-
summation of the plan.

ing motion that the jury be instruct
ed to return such a verdict Harrison

Schoede and Homer by Attorney De
Wore Simonson. It was the first ap-
pearance of these two young legal
practitioners as criminal trial lawyers
in the circuit court. H. NJ. Schriver,
assistant states attorney, prosecuted.
The state had completed its test1-
mony when the motion was offered by
the defense II was held that there
was no evidence before the court to
support the charge that a burglary

THE SEA AND LOVE.

My love said: What is the sea ?"
l said: The unmeasured sea
Is my heart, sweetheart,
That is stormy or still,
With it's great wild will,
Glorying, stainless and free,
Or sad with a sorrow beyond mans
speech TO impart.
But forever calling TO thee,
Heart of my heart"
My love said: What is the land?"
l said: THE unshackled tide
Is my love, sweetheart;
The draft and sweep
OF the restless deep,
Made clear as the stars and wide,
That forever must yawn to the land
above and apart.
Till the day when she sinks to his side,
Heart of my heart
My love said: What is the home?''
1 said: The summer land
Is thy face, sweetheart;
Dreamy and warm and glad,
In a benediction clad.
With sunshine sweetened and famed;
And there is the wet of the tide, the
end and the start,
The seas despair and demand.
Heart of my heart

A Woman's Great Idea

is how to make herself attractive
But, without health, it is hard for her
to be lovely in face, form or temper.
A weak, sickly woman will be nervous
and irritable. Constipation and kidney
poisons show in pimples. bloches, skin
eruptions and a wretched complexion
But Electric Bitters always prove a
godsend to women who want health,
beauty and friends. They regulate
stomach, liver and kidneys, purify the
blood; give strong nerves, bright eyes,
pure breath, smooth, velvety skin,
lovely complexion, good health. Try
them. Fifty cents at all druggists.

Supt Barlow Says the Legislature o 1911 Can Meet in the New
 Building.

With reasonably good luck we will complete our contract on the new statehouse so that the legislature of 1911 may meet here,' said General Superintendent Barrow of the Miller Brothers Construction Company.
 The statement was made after an inspection of the building from the basement to the roof had been made
 MT. Bartow stated that something like 400 men are now at work on the building and that no time is being lost in any department. The strike of the St. Louis timers delayed the contract of the Kaufman Heating & Engineering Company to certain extent, but this does not interfere with the contract of the Miller Bros
 Construction Company in the least
 Hundreds of people have spoken of the comparatively small size of the dome, the steel work for which is now almost completed. Mir. Barrow explained that the dome itself will De six or eight feet larger, at the base, than the steel work is at present. The stone with which the dome will be clothed will set several feet from the steel uprights at the base and above this will appear the columns. Then above these columns the stone Will come nearer to the present steel work. The top of the dome will be finished eff with a staff of stone with a copper lantern topping the whole.
