LAST MILE Of STEEL.
Great White River Line Will Then Be
Declared Completed.
It is thought that by the 15th
of the present month the gap be
tween the approaching ends of
the White River road will be
closed, completing the greatest
piece of railway construction
ever undertaken in the United
States, und if engineering rec
ords are correct, the greatest
and most expensive railroad,
mile for mile, in the entire world,
says the Cotter Courier.
By Saturday night uiis week
the rails from the north end will
have been laid througu the great
Omaha tunnel to the immense
gorge nearly 400 feet wide at
this end of the tunnel. From
this end the steel has already
reached the south side of the
gorge, and so by Saturday night
the two ends of the road will be
within speaking distance, and
in sight of each other, hut sep
arated by a 400 foot gorge so
rugged and rough that it is by
great effort one can cross it even
on foot. It is here that the steel
gang will be delayed a short
time.
The construction of the bridge
over the gorge has been a heavy
undertaking. Over 700,000 feet
of timber, a car of bolts and
nails and tons upon tons of stone
and concrete go into the build
ing. It being impossible to
reach the north side except on
foot, the construction began on
this side. Overhead cables were
strung to the north side, heavy
machinery was taken apart and
carried piece by piece over the
gorge and these set up. Then
the heavy timbers followed, and
the actual work of construction
began. It is said that the pre
parations for building this last
bridge cost more in time and
money than the fridge itself.
Brakeman Bush Assaulted.
Arthur Bush, a passenger
brakeman, was brutally assaulted
at Bismark last Wednesday by
one Ryan, a bartender. Ryan
boarded No. 3 at Bismark Tues
day thinking it was No. 21.
When he discovered his mistake
he asked Bush to stop the train
and let hinj. off.1 Bush told him
that he had no authority to stop
the train, but would see the con
ductor and request him to do so.
When the train was stopped
Ryan decided he did not want to*
get off so went on down the
main line. When No. 2 pulled
into Bismark Wednesday Ryan
approached Bush and asked him
if he was the brakeman on No.
3 the day before. When Bush
replied in the affirmative Ryan
struck him three or four blows
with a slung-shot which probably
weighed three or four pounds.
Bush fell unconscious, and when
he was down Ryan kicked him
on the side of the head, tearing
off the lower parf of his ear. At
last accounts Ryan had not been
arrested.—De Soto Facts.

Want Fitch Removed.
Washington, Dec. 24. — The |
Arkansas congressional delega- j
tion is considering the advisabil-!
ity of protesting against the con-;
tinuance in office of Maj. Gra
ham D. Fitch, United States
States engineer corps, in charge
of river improvements in Arkan
sas. Senator Berry and* Con
gressmen Brundidge and Robin-!
son insist that Major Fitch is not j
working in the interest of the
state, and that his career in the j
Little Rock office has been one j
of obstruction.
Maj. Fitch has been in Little j
Rock nearly four years. His ac- j
tion in i-eporting adViewfely on i
additional improvements to the j
St. Francis and upper White j
river, and hi$ conduct along this!
line in the past is responsible for
the agitation which is expected
to result in his early transfer.

r WHY KIDNEY DISEASE
; IS DANGEROUS. ?
\ .
Neglect of the First Warning Symp
toms is the Prime Cause of so
Many Deaths from the Dreaded
Bright’s Disease.
It is Easily Curable in the Early Stages.
Kidney diseases are so destructive to
human life because they do not manifest
alarming symptoms until the constitu
tion is seriously weakened and the
strength exhausted. Then, too often,
i the remedies employed by many physi
r cians are of indifferent or doubtful value,
and the patient rapidly sinks under the
disease. The wisest course is to apply a
reliable kidney and liver remedy on the
first appearance of the symptoms. A
little uneasiness in the small of the back,
digestive troubles, bowel irregularities
and disorder in the urinary organs are
matters of small moment in the estima
tion of strong men and women, yet they
have a serious meaning. They show
clearly that the kidneys are suffering
and need help, which must be forth
coming at once to prevent serious, per
haps fatal consequences. A few doses
of Prickly Ash Bitters at this time would
prove of incalculable value in restoring
the weakened organs to health. An
investment of one dollar in a bottle of
Prickly Ash Bitters when the disease is
yet in the early stage will save hundreds
of dollars in doctor’s bills, besides the
suffering that would surely follow should
the diseasq be allowed to fasten itself in
the body. The excellent curative power
of Prickly Ash Bitters is not confined to
the first stages of kidney disease. It is
equally efficacious in severe or chronic
cases. Physicians have used it as a last
resort, in cases that defied their best
efforts, with the most brilliant results,
and it has shown its superiority over the
many so-called kidney cures, now being
loudly advertised, in instances innu
merable.
Accept no substitute. Insist on having
the genuine Pricklv Ash Bitters with the
large figure 3 in red on the front label.
Sold at Drug Stores, $1.00 per bottle.
