weather-beaten pioneer who bore the
name of Cassidy, and his comfortable
cottage INSTRUCTED both surveys.
The advent of two railroads building
neck and neck across the desert
through the little town had naturally
stirred every inhabitant of it to high
pitch of excitement Small wonder
that Cassidys head had become in
some degree confused as to values,
and by the time Rhinelander got
around to see the bronzed pioneer
with check for two thousand dollars
the price first put upon the property
by it's veteran owner-valuations had
risen and Cassidy declared that he
would sell for ten thousand dollars
and not cent less.
Rhinelander, considerably taken
aback, impatiently assented to the ex-
orbitant sum named, and going inside
the cottage, wrote out his check for it.
In exchange i he received Cassidy's
rather uncertain signature, on the Gus
tomary legal form, granting to the
Cooper Range & Tide Water Railway
company privileges over the CASSIDY
land as q Ir6oQOlQ OWu0I.

from his foreman of the status OF the

and reached the ground just in time

| of Cassidy's house and the agreement
| duly signed and delivered in his hand.
And behind Rhinelander came George
Storm ready to bring the men UP to
take possession of the Cassidy de-
| mesne.
| Seagrue and his followers halted
them and Rhinelander, feeling the VIC
tory all his own, explained the s1tua-
ton to Seagrue, while Storm, amiably,
but firmly, ordered Seagrue's men to
get off the Copper Range property.
| Seagrue, without saying anything to
controvert what he had heard, walked
straight into Cassidy's house. I'm
sorry to be a little late, Cassidy, ne

Halt Federal Probe Of
Brewers Activities While
Legality Is Inquired Into

Pittsburgh, Feb. 10.-After hearing
one witness in the proposed probing of
expenditures of brewery interests in
political campaign work the federal
grand jury was adjourned until Thurs
day next
Meanwhile Judges Charles p. Orr
and w. II. S. Thomson, of the United
States Court, will hear argument and
pass upon motion made in behalf of
the brewers to quash the entire pro-
ceedings upon the score that there is
no warrant in law for the contem-
plated investigation.
The inquiry was started by United
States District Attorney e. Lowry
Humes. who, with other federal Off
cials. is said to have been investigating
the financial expenditures of brewers
in Pennsylvania and other States for
political purposes for the last two
years. .w"
Mr.. Humes has been actively iden-
tilted with the Palmer Mccormick
leadership of the State Democracy and
it is known that friends of Mccormick,
who ran for Governor on a local option
platform and who was defeated for
that office by Martin G.. Brumbaugh,
the Republican nominee, have been
eager to show that money was spent in
large sums by brewers of PENNSYLVANIA
in the interest of the Republican ticket.
That. of course. would include the can
didacy of Boies Penrose for re- election
to the United States Senate.

GUT OUT MEATS
IF KIDNEYS ARE
TROUBLING YOU
Uric Acid in meat excites Kidneys
and Irritates the
Bladder.
Noted Authority says we must
flush Kidneys with Salts
if Back hurts.

We are a nation of meat eaters and
our blood is filled with uric acid, SAYS a
well-known authority, who warns us to
be constantly on guard against kidney
trouble.
The kidneys do their utmost to free
the blood of this irritating acid, but
become weak from the overwork: they
get sluggish; the eliminative tissues
clog and thus the waste is retained In
the blood to poison the entire system.
When your kidneys ache and feel
like Jumps of lead, and you have
stinging pains in the back or the urine
is cloudy, full of sediment, or the
bladder is irritable, obliging you to
seek relief during the night; when you
have severe headaches, nervous and
dizzy spells, sleeplessness, acid stom-
get from your pharmacist about four
ounces of Jad Salts; take a tablespoon
full in glass of water before break
fast each morning and in few days
your kidneys will act fine. This
famous salts is made from the acid
of grapes and lemon juice, combined
with nthia, and has been used for
generations to flush and stimulate
clogged kidneys, to neutralize the
acids in urine so it is no longer a
source of irritation, thus ending urin-
airy and bladder disorders.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and cam
not injure; makes q delightful effer-
vescent lithia-water drink and nobody
can make a mistake by taking a little
occasionally to keep the kidneys clean
and active.--Advertisement.

Mr.. Patton Disposes Of
Holdings in Local Company

Some errors inadvertently crept into
a reference in the Telegraph. a few
days ago, to the present personnel of
the management Of the Harrisburg
Pipe and Pipe Bending Company. 1t
was stated that certain changes of the
officials were contem- oraneous with
the retirement of J. Hervy Patton who
disposed of his interest in the company
last month. As a matter of fact Mr..
Patton has not been manager of the
company since December, 1912, when
w. r. Hildrup. Jr., became general
manager and also secretary and treas
urer,' having continued as general man
ager until the present time.
Mr.. Patton was succeeded as presi-
dent by David f. Tracy in May. 1914,
and there has been no change in the
officials since that date. but last De-

fore these changes are finally threshed
out and passed upon by the railroad
authorities after which the engineer
will prepare the matter for City
Councils consideration.
The changes in the tentative plans
as considered at conference of the
City Planning Commission and City
Engineer Cowden yesterday afternoon
included practically what had been
agreed upon at conference several
weeks ago of the city authorities and
the railroad authorities.
The probable cost of the improve
ment was discussed yesterday in q
gene raj way, too. The railroad COM
pany's estimate is $150,OOO,. City En-
gineer Cowden figures about $13O,OOO.
The changes in the plans as prac-
tically agreed upon by the city plan
ners and Mr.. Cowden yesterday are:
The moving of the entrance to the
western approach about forty feet to
the west, so as to bring the top Just
