WHAT WILL BURLINGTON GET?
Prediction That This Road Is in Line
for Gould Division.

F'inanciers and railroad men have
been doing much speculation over
what may happen to the Gould group
of roads when the new management
takes hold and the f1nanciers find it
advisable to segregate the properties,
says the Nebraska State Journal. If
the Burlington should turn up some
morning as the owner of the Moffat
road, the beneficiary of the Colorado
state tunnel scheme, and with a cinch
on control of the Western Pacific,
some predictions that are being made
these days would be verified.
Financial news from Wall street
tells of the plan to place on the mar
ket in the near future $8,000,000 worth
of Burlington improvement and con-
struction bonds. A recent issue of
$3,000,0 900 by the Colorado & Southern
a Burlington property, was sold. Some
Colorado and Wyoming connecting
lines are to be built with this three
million issue. 1t has been announced
recently that the Colorado & South
ern and the Colorado Midland, in
which the Colorado & Southern owns
a half interest, will soon build a joint
connecting line between Dillon, thir-
ty-two miles from Leadville, to
Kremmling, on the new Moffat road.
A bill is now before the Colorado
Legislature to appropriate $5,000.000 to
tunnel under James peak to give the
Moffat road better crossing over the
transcontinental divide. With a bet

Rockies the problem of financing the

A Stuart's Tablet not only aid diges-
ton but it actually does the digesting
itself. In other words it furnishes
exactly the same elements for the di-
gestion of food as the natural juices
of the stomach. The stomach, there
fore, is not called upon to do any of
the work except to churn the juices
furnished by the tablet and then push
the digested food along into the in
testines where it will be still further
digested and the strength taken up
by the blood to be carried to the
muscles and nerves of the body.
So by taking a Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablet after meal you give the stom-
ach the rest it needs in which to mend
itself and grow well again. And you
absolutely prevent the souring of any
food, the formation of any poisonous
gases, belching. foul breath or consti-
patton.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets have
done more for humanity and have
caused more rejoicing than any other
one agency that can be named.
Every druggist everywhere sells and
personally recommends Stuart's Dys-
persia Tablets. The price is so cents
per box. If you first wish to try them
a sample package will be sent you

ENGLISH CAPITAL FOR KANSAS
Foreigners Interested in Winnipeg,
Salina & Gulf.

The route of the Winnipeg, Salina

south from Omaha and Kansas City
to Alva, Ok, has been decided upon
between Salina, Kan. and Alva, with
the exception of the line through Rice
county, Kansas, only, according to a
statement made by c. A Slayton, chief
of the engineer corps. If Lyons and
Sterling, Kan, make good with their
bonus propositions both will be on the

final survey is agreed upon the money

coming from London. It is desired, if
possible, to have trains running be-
tween Salina and Alva by January 1,

SICK HEADACHE.
Method Of Cure That VIII In
terest Every Sufferer.
Made Possible by a New Laxative
Designed to Be Used With the
Tonic Treatment.

Mr.. J. H. Crowley, a painter and
decorator, of Charleston, Mo-, relates
the following experience which others
will find of interest:
Through irregular hours for eating
I became afflicted with stomach trouble
a little over a year ago. l would have
bilious attacks lasting for a day at a
time, while my stomach was constantly
out of order. Frequently during the
bilious attacks would have to vonit.
had sick headaches, which made me
feel sick all over. Ny stomach was
sour for days after these headaches and
I would have great deal of pain
through it. 1t felt as though my stomach
was on fire and there was a weight in
it. l was troubled some with gas and
was constipated all of the time.
THE doctor treated me for stomach
trouble but gave me only temporary
relief. became discouraged with his
treatment and began using DR.. VIII
hams' Pink Pills. My Improvement
WIS noticeable in few DAYS. was
soon relieved of the sourness on nv
stomach and had no more bilious at
tacks. l continued using the pills until
cured. | have not been troubled with
constipation since. No one need suffer
from stomach trouble, if DIR. Williams
Pin Pills are given a fair trial"
As rule a sufferer from sick head
ache can tell hours, sometimes days, in
advance, when the headache is coming
on. This fact makes it possible to use
laxative, as soon as the approach of
an attack is discovered, to eliminate
the poison from the system and prevent
the attack or in great measure to mod
crate its severity. A new laxative,
PNKLETs, designed to be used in con-
nection with DIR. Williams Pink Pills,
affords perfect combination treatment
We have prepared a pamphlet that
not only describes fully the laxative
tonic treatment of sick headache and
gives specific directions for the use of
The remedies but contains also much
valuable information regarding diet, ex-
ercise and the management of the sick
room during an attack This pamphlet
will be sent free on request together
with sample of PINKLETs, the little
laxative pills. Write today if you want
to treat your trouble intelligently. A

HAIR TELLS CHARACTER.
Color of Hair Said to Indicate a Per-

Many people believe that blonde, or
light hair denotes affection and dark
hair constancy. A person without hair
is not devoid of character; far from
it. The disposition 70 the average
baldheaded man is to show such soil
citude for the welfare of others, that
he neglects himself. A germ causes
badness. Prof Sabouraud, of Paris,

MURDER INDICTMENTS.
A Sample of the Idiotio Style In Which
They Are Written.

They Are Written.
Murder has been written of as fine
art, but 1t remained for the United
States to treat 1t as a sport. In many
of the states an Indictment for muir
der contains nearly enough words to
fill a column and sounds like the con-
versation of an idiot. Here is a sam
pie:
THAT the said j. +. G., a certain
pistol then and there charged with
gunpowder and leaden bullets, which
said pistol he, the said ]. It. G., then

This isn't as idiotlc as 1t looks, how
ever. 1t Is part of our sporting theo-
ry of justice. which makes a murder
trial game of skill and flnesse be-
tween opposing counsel. BY the
slightest deviation from statutory
form one side may lose the game.
Convictions for the most abhorrent
crimes have repeatedly been set aside
because of trivial verbal omissions In
the indictment.
Had the murder referred to in the
above quotation occurred In Canada
the indictment would have read SIM

THE SPIRAL NEBULAE.
Ono of the Terrifying and Mysterious
Forces Of Space.

The most stupendous manifestat tons
of force of which we have any knowl-
edge are presented by the spiral nebu-
lac, whose mysterious and terrifying
forms were first clearly revealed by
the Lick observatory photographs
made in 1S98-19O0 by the late Pro-
fessor James Il. Keeler. The heavens
are full of them-they exist by thou
sands-and as astronomical photogra-
ply is brought to greater perfection
their amazing shapes tend more and
more to upset all former ideas con-
corning the processes Of creation and
destruction going on In the interstellar
spaces. They affect in an equal do
gree all theories about the origin and
tenn.
Who would imagine on looking up
Mt the starry heavens some quiet
night that the earth Is like a person
lost In the midst of the whirrfng
wheels and spinning shafts of some
running bolts. whirling spindles.
champing pistons, grinding cogs. gy-
rating governors. dizzying fywheels
and leaping rods confuse the eye and
the mind and paralyze the limbs with
the terror of impending annihilation7
We are not aware of this startling
situation because, while we see the
stars, we do not see what Is among
the stars. The spinning machinery Of
the universe is revealed only In pho
tographs, and as far as our senses are
concerned 1t performs its functions
with silence which to the imagina-
tion becomes a part of the horror OF
space.
These cosmic wheels spin with In
calculable velocity, but the span of
human life is but second Of time In
comparison with their periods. II we
could magnify time 80 that second
would become as century. then an
hour would be equivalent to 100000
years, and the true aspect OF the
spiral nebulae would burst upon our
astonished senses. Garrett p. Servisa
