Pushing the Work.
Up to Saturday ovoning tho track
layors on the North River branch had
reached a point twenty-seven miles
west of Oshkosh. Sinco tracklaying
was resumed, seven miles have been
laid, or an average of about 4,800 feot
per day. One hundred and seventy
laborers are engaged in track laying
and 120 are surfacing. It is expected
that trains will bo running into North
port by July 1st, and that when that
point is reached there will bo a daily
train oorvice; thut is a train each way.
It is not considered probnblo that
when the road reaches Northport that
work will ceaso; it is almost certain
that before fall trains will bo running
into Gering, and it may bo that the
work will be pushed on toward Medi
cine Row. Nothing has, apparently,
occurred that would tend to cauto tho
company to abandon its proposed line
to Medicine Bow.
The routo is so favorable as to grndo
and distanco, as compared with the
present main line, that the present day
economy practiced by railroads as to
time and fuel, makes the Medicino Bow
short line one to bo desired, as trans
continental competition grows sharpor,
such route becomes almost a necoBsity.
Candidate for Rc-EIection.
Shoriff Miltonberger informs The
Tribune that ho will bo a candidate for
re-nomination at tho primary this fall,

Thousands of cases of kidney troublo

ing it.
Mrs.
Here's a local case.
Carolino Smith. Eiarhth and Pine
fats., North natto, Nob., says: "I can
recommend Doan'a Kidney Pills aa a
most effective remedy for kidney com
plaint. During tho past six years I
suffered terribly from thin troublo. At
timeB my feot and limbs swelled to
twice their natural size and on this ac
count it was impossible to wear my
shoos. My back ached constantly, I
was nervous, rested poorly and usually
got up in the morning fcofing tired and
completely worn out. About a yoar
ago my gonoral. health was greatly run
down and nothing I took Boemed to do
me the least bit of good. When Doan'a
Kidney Pills were brought to my at
tention I procured a box at A. F.
Strcitz's drug store and in a short time
after commencing their use, the back
acho and weakness through my loins
was removed. Now since using five
boxes of tho remody I am completely
cured."
