private chat with the distinguished

Although differing from Mr.. Taft

Taft saved Idaho more than twenty
millions of dollars.

"It was through the presidents
standing out alone almost against the

thousand acres of timber on the Clear

the state could complete its filing

HOW THE PARCEL POST
CUTS RAILROAD INCOME
INSTITUTE SUITS TO RECOVER
LOSSES FROM NATIONAL
GOVERNMENT.

! The New Haven railroad has sued
he postoffice department for $1472,
he damages for being required to
AIRY gold by postal parcel service in
manner contrary to law, says the New
York Times. The packages were not
called or stamped as required OF first
class mail. The weight limit was ex-
ceeded. and the packages were not
prepared for convenient inspection.
Ihe railway alleges that the gold
packages were not mail matter of any
sort and were not shipped as freight
or express. Besides the gold, the COM
pany was required to transport seven
men as guards, although 1t has no con-
tract covering such service. Never
theless the service had to be perform
ed, and 1t was performed, and the
company demands pay for transporta-
ton of both gold and men according
to fair value received The case is a
mild one. The Pennsylvania railroad
carried $99,000,000 gold for nothing
200 tons Of it--and 100 clerks and
guards. Gold is not the only thing
which is put into the parcels post and
carried by the railways for nothing.
The only thing which the parcels post
has refused to carry is baby. The
postmaster at st. Paul ruled that bab-
les were live stock and not mailable.
Seven hundred bushels of oats could
not be declined, and five tons of ore
in so pound sacks was shipped to the
Washoe works, Anaconda, Mont. 1t
was losing job for Uncle Sam, even
worse than for the railways.
Thrifty Postmaster.
A butcher reduced a steer to mail
able weights and sent him at a profit,
at the expense of the railways, al
though the government got the thanks
There are reports of postal contractors
who have made business for them
selves by means of the parcels post
West Virginia postmaster who also
was a grocer, received an order for
four barrels of flour So he sold him
self stamps and delivered the flour in
bags through the parcels post. The
government was bound to supply him
with the stamps Cancelled through his
office, and also was bound to deliver
his flour Nobody paid for the trans
portation Of the flour. The railway
was bound to carry 1t under its four
year contract. The government paid
nothing for the additional service.
The transaction was strictly regular |
N all respects, and yet there is some
hing about 1t better worth consider
ltion than the oddities of the case |
There are six mail order houses ship |
'ing 100000 packages apiece on which |
he freight and express charges are
welded They know their rights, and |
t Is an easy guess that they could tell
strange tales of how they put 1t over
he railways and Uncle Sam. The
,eople value the parcels post service
nd do not want it crippled also
hey do not want it abused. The gov
rnment itself sets the worst example
/ this respect.

THE COMSTOCK LODE
HOW IT WAS NAMED
SOME HISTORY IN CONNECTION
WITH AMERICAS RICHEST

J How the Comstock lode acquired III

sinia citys past glories:
The finding of Americas richest or.
'ody, second only in production to tn,

accident, traceable to the overwhelm.

stock, sklrmisher on the flying
wedge of exploration. The lode which
will always bear his name might with
more fairness be called the O'Riley
he Mclaughlin or tho Grosch. BY
some 1t is claimed that Allen and Ho-
sea Grosch discovered the outcrop-
pings of the lode; the credit is gener-
ally accorded to Peter O'Riley and
Patrick Mclaughlin.
In the spring of 1859 came Peter
O'Riley and Patrick Mclaughlin, in
tending to locate somewhere in Six
Mile canyon. There was nothing left
for them on the lower ground, aud
ather than waste the trip they
clded to try the mountain. They be-
gan work in the bed Of tiny stream
fed by spring in the rocks above.
The surface indications were nat
promising, and in addition to this the
stream was not large enough to serv1
their purpose so they dug pit In or
der to collect sufficient water to oper
ate their rocker
Noticing a change in the appear
ance of the soil from the bottom of he
pit, they dumped bucket of 1t into
the rocker and washed It, The gold
was there In abundance--a shining
film on the rifles of the rocker-ahd
with 1t mass of heavy black stuff
which O'Rlley and Mclaughlin pe-
lieved to be base metal of some sort
and worthless. They threw 1t away.

Miss Cochran has a pleasing pres

last night were of high order, she
appeared best in two very difficult
pieces. One of these, THE Year

emotional reading in which Miss

considerable comedy, and gave a
chance for some good impersonation.

Mrs. Abbe S. lBisbce Claims She -
Entitled to Property Wilied by
Late Husband Of Mrs.
Tyler
PAPERS ARE ON FILE
Claim 10 Made BY Mrs. Bisbee That
Her SIste-in-law Was Not Of
Sound Mind at
Time

A contest over the will OF the
late Georgia w. Tyler has been start
ed by Mrs. Abbie S. Bisbee, as the
only heir at law of her brother the
late Major L. S. Tyler. Mrs. Bisbee,
who formerly resided in keokuk, and
is the widow Of the late ]. NJ. Bisbee,
bases her contest on the ground that
she is entitled to all of the property
bequeathed Mrs. Tyler by her hus-
band. as she is the only heir at law.
The following is from the Los
Angles Times:
Abbie 8. Bisbee is contrasting the
probate of the will of Mrs. Georgia
W. Tyler, widow of Loren 8. Tyler,
and her sister-in-law, on the ground
that she Is entitled to all Of the prop
erty bequeatlred Mrs. Tyler by her
husband. as the only heir-at-law OF
her brother.
Directed Against Fishburn.
The suit is directed against ]. f.
FIshburn, who petitioned for the pro.
bate Of Mrs. Tyler's WILL Mrs. Bisbee
asserts that her brother left an estate
In excess of 100000, which is In
course Of administration. She alleges
that this property was acquired be.
fore his marriage to Georgia w
Tyler.
Mr. Tyler bequeathed his wife one.
half Of the personal and mixed prop.
erty. When she passed away her es.
tate was valued at $4,000, Of which,
Mrs. Bisbee alleges, 100000 was &C.
quired by gift and the balance came
from her husband. The heirs Of Mrs.
Tyler are Charles and Hugh Harrfng.
ton, half brothers, and Harriet Har.
rington, half-sister.
Mrs Bisbee alleges that her sister.
in-law was of unsound mind, and
points to the fact that she made no
mention In her will of her half
brother, Charles Harrington, because
owing to her weak mental condition
she forgot him.

THE CHARM
OF MOTHERHOOD
Enhanced By Perfect Physi-
cal Health.

The experience Of Motherhoodis q try
Ing ono to most women and marks dis
tinctly an epoch In their lives. Not one
woman in hundred Is prepared or un-
derstands how to properly care for her
self. OF course nearly every woman
nowadays has medical treatment at such
times, but many approach the expert
ence with an organism untitled. for the
trial Of strength, and when it is over
her system has received shock from
which It IL hard to recover. Following
right upon this comes the nervous strain
Of caring for the child, and . distinct
change In the mother results.
There 10 nothing more charming than
q happy and healthy mother Of children,
and indeed child birth under the right
conditions need be no hazard to health or
beauty. The unexplainable thing is
that, with all the evidence Of shattered
nerves and broken health resulting from
an unprepared condition, and with am
pie time in which to prepare, women
will persist in going blindly to the trial.
Every woman at this time should rely
upon Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound, most valuable tonic and
invigorator Of the female organism.
