an effort made to fire the loads of

SHORTAGE OF MEN CAUSES
DELAY In GETTING R. R.
INTO M'KENZIE COUNTY

Schafer, n. d. Sept. 11.-McKenzie
county seems destined not to secure
q railway line this a after all.
Early in the a it seemed certain
the Great Northern and the 500 would
poth traverse the county by fall. Then
came the troubles over the 500 right
OF way, which were not adjusted until
late to extend the line from Plaza
or Makoti. The next blow was when
the Great Northern abandoned work
on the eastern end of the line that was
TO have been started at New Rock
ford. The people of Mckenzie then
centered their attention on the prog
resst OF the work on the Great North
ern from the west. Grading crews
nave been at work on this side of the
line and the contractors brought in
both dummy engines and full sized
locomotives from Williston by barges,
there is no connecting link across
the Yellowston river. Before steel can
be laid on this side for the hauling Of
grain, the bridge across the Yellow
stone must be completed. The long
tunnel just on this side of the river
along the bluffs must also be finished.
The most favorable estimate on the
bridge now is Oct Is. BY the time the
grade on this side could be put INTO
shape for the steel gang it would be
a. very short period before cold wealth
er. 1t seems an even bet that no rails
will be laid on this side Of the river
until spring, though it may be possible
to get a few miles from the river to
the first station or two this side. If
that is; done the farmers can caul grain
to hat point and ship it west to Mon
dak,s then east over the main line.

Vegetable Comm.

"Worth mountains of gold" says one woman. Another
says, II would not give Lydia f. Pinkhams Vegetable
Compound for all the other medicines for women in the
world. ID" Still another writes, Il should like to have the
merits Of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound thrown
on the sky with searchlights SO that all suffering women could
read and be convinced that there is a remedy for their ills"
We could I'LL a newspaper ten times the size of this with such quo
tatlons taken from the letters we have received from grateful women
whose health has been restored and suffering banahed by Lydia E.
Pinkhams Vegetable Compound.
Why has Lydia E. Pnkhams Vegetable Compound accomplished
such a universal success? Why has it lived and thrived and Kept on
doing its glorious work among the sick women of the world for more
than 80 years?
Simply and surely because of its sterling worth. The reason no
other medicine has ever approached its success is plainly and SIM
ply because there is no other medicine SO good for women'si ills.
Here are two letters that just came to the writer's desk-only two
OF thousands, but both tell comforting story to every suffering Wo-
man who will read them-and be guided hY them.

OLD TIMER GONE
At One Time a Noted Character in
Audubon countY's History. Studied
Law Admitted to the Bar.


John Hilton in the early history
OF Audubon County was known in
nearly every hamlet, in this coun-
ty. His popularity was attained
by his business relations with men.
He was good fellow and mixer an
as an Insurance Agent was far
the best in the County.
He studied law under JOHN and
Dick Griggs and was admitted to
the bar. He moved to Ft. Collins,
Colorado, in the early sos where
he practiced his profession and
became we'll known there by his
fearless prosecution of a band of
horse thieves that infested that
region.
He was born in Canada in 1874
removing with his parents to Wis
cons1n. On the outbreak of the
Civil War, when boy of only fif-
teen years, he enlisted in Wis
consin Volunteer Regiment-the
regiment that carried the bald
headed Eagle known as old Abe
through all its battles. At the
close of the war he was mustered
out with title of Captain.
He died in Denver, where he
had relocated sometime before.
