Assistant Engineer of White River Roac
Work Says First of Year Will
Witness Through Trains.
W. Gray, assistant engineei
of co uction on the new White
Rive] Iroad, was at the gen
eral ( js of the Missouri-Pa
cific-] Mountain, at St. Louis,
^ Satui , and in conversation
state lat there remains but
four orie-half miles of the
track to lay before the road is
opened for traffic. Mr. Gray
stated that the work is going
forward as rapidly as is possible,
and that the line is being ballast
1 * uch a manner as will pre
;he roadbed for years with
ttle extra work.
Omaha tunnel, which has
the gre&ter part of the

possible is being
ete the line within
^ the next thirty days and it is be
lieved that on or about January
1 trains will be oDerated over the
entire road.
The telegraph department was
asked several weeks ago to com
plete the liift* in order that Gen
eral Superintendent De Bernardi
could have immediate wire com
munication through. This the
department did, but under the
greatest difficulties. The country
between the ends where con
struction work is progressing is
the roughest in the entire state,
arM practically impassable for
k/ wagons. Therefore, it was ab
solutely impossible for the tele
graph department to set a line
of poles. Therefore the wires
were strung on trees, and for a
portion of tbe distance remain
there today.
For ten miles each hole sunk
for poles had to be dynamited,
and the cost of constructing this
line was immense. The con
struction gang is still engaged
at this work, and it is believed
that it will be completed before
trains are running through.

spite of the name, the letter was
posted as uncalled for, although
the clerks thought it was a let
ter from a maniac.
Late that afternoon two de
crepit locking old men called at
^ the delivery window of the office
and asked for any mail that
* v might be held for Adam & Eve.
The letter was given to them and
the old man explained the situa
tion by saying they were travel
ing preachers and that their as
sociation had been such that they
had decided to term one another
Adam & Eve.

science has been able to cure in
all its stages, and that is Catarrh.

being a constitutional disease,re
quires a constitutional treatment.
Hall’s Catarrh Cure is taken
internally, acting directly upon
the blood and mucous surface of
the system, thereby destroying
the foundation of the disease, and
giving the patient strength by
building up the constitution and
assisting nature in doing its
work. The proprietors have so
much faith in its curative pow
ers that they offer One Hundred
Dollars for any case that it fails
to cure. Send for list of testi

in this (Faulkner) county, Sat
urday, to small but representa
tive crowds, in support of his

i'parently made a favorable im
ipression. He is considerably
hampered by reason of Gov.

manding that the people support

defeat Bob Rogers, and many

The Urgent Need of Prompt Restora
tive Measures is Something
That Every One Should
Understand.
“A Stitch in Time Saves Nine.1'
Slight disorders in the kidneys or uri
nary organs are more serious than most
people think. The first warning symp
toms should receive prompt medical
treatment to ward off Bright’s Disease
or some other dangerous malady. When
the kidneys are ailing and the symptoms
become sufficiently pronounced to be
noticeable the condition calls at once
for prompt measures to stay the progress
of the disease. Prickly Ash Bitters is
the remedy needed. Taken- on the ap
pearance of the first symptoms, such as
pain in the back, puffiness under the
eyes, irregularities in the urine, digestive
j disorders, it will save the victim incal
| culable misery and suffering, mental
j torture and expense. Used atthebegin
| ning of the trouble it cures quickly.
- Used in the more advanced stages it will
! win back health and strength as rapidly
| as circumstances will possibly permit.
j Accept no substitute. Insist on having
the genuine Prickly Ash Bitters with the
| large figure 3 in red on the front label.

A Woman’s
i Gratitude
“For more than a year I
had been a sufferer, completely
broken down. I had not slept
but two or three hours any
night for weeks. I had such
awful misery in my head, and
oh, I was so irritable. I could
not depend upon my judge
ment, and my memory was
failing. I realized that I was
, losing my mind, and I thought
| the grave, or worse, the asy
lum, would be my doom. My
doctor said my case was be
yond the reach of medicine. I
went to a druggist and told
him my condition. He recom
mended Dr. Miles’ Nervine;
he was pretty sure it would
help me, so I bought a bottle.
That night I took a table
spoonful, and fell asleep in a
few minutes, the first rest I
had in weeks, and oh, I will
never forget that sweet sleep
while I live. I have continued
taking it, and sleep like a baby,
and gain rapidly.”
