The Denver & Kio Grande railroad
company has issuod orders that all
ouiployos in the operating department
shall discard stonisetting watches, no
matter how valuable, and accopt tho
regulation timo-picco, which must pass
muster with tho oflloial inspoctor.
This is a very important decision.
The railroad compauios of tho land
are conscious of tho fact that thoy are
servants of tho people, and are putting
forth strouuous efforts in tl oir endeav
ors to savo lifo and limb.
Tho intolligonco of a community is

tomlunt and teachers. Fanners and
others who wish to rotiro from rural

John Alexander Dowie, the Zionist,
gave etidonce on Sunday in a speech
at the Auditorium in Chii'ngo, that he
is sadly unbalanced in hU mental on-'
pauity. lie made a vicious attack upon
the llir association, i nlling its mum
burs liars and inut deters. Ho claimed
to have three sticks of dynnmil in his
pocket which he intended to hurl at
some imaginary enemies among the
association's members. No sane man
would uttoi such words and expect to
bo dealt with us n babe in tho hands of
tho people.
This city is sadly in need of a street
lighting system. Other cities of less
importance havo good light plants at

Rod Cloud aro surprised that the
plo'asure of their evening strolls is
mm red by unexpoctodly st pping into
a gutter or coming into sudden facial
contact with Mother Earth whore a
terminus of sidewalk cannot be scon.
Not for this reason only should a light
system ho established, but the citizens
of Hod Cloud are entitled to the best
of everything going, strcot lights not
excepted.
Apropos of tho examination of Prince
Henry nt Alhiny of the sword alleged
to have btuu presented to Washington
by Fiedeiiek the Great some
iconoclastic scribbler is out with a do
nlrl that any such sword was ever
sent, and an allegation that tho sword
that is exhibited has no inscription on
it as advertised "From tho Oldest to
the Greatest Soldier." Possibly that
doubt account tor tho action of Prince
Henry when the sword was handed
him, in drawing it from its scabbard,
contrary to the rule of the exhibitors.
It is alleged that becauso Washington
iu his will, distributing his swords,
stipulated that thoy should never be
drawn save in defense of the country,
this sword has reposed in its scabbard
continuously for a huudred years.
Henry broko tho charm and now the
question is did ho tind the alleged in
scription anywhere on its hilt or blade

Fantastic
stories have
been written of
magic mirrors iu
which the future
was revealed. If
such a thine were
possible many a bright - faced bride
would shrink from the revelation of her
self, stripped of all her loveliness. If
there is one thing which would make a
woman shrink from marriage it is to see
the rapid physical deterioration which
conies to so many wives. The cause is
generally due to womanly diseases.
Ivost health and lost comeliness are
restored by the use of Dr. Pierce's Fa
vorite Prescription. It cures irregular

heals inflammation and ulceration, arid
cures female weakness.

you what IJr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription and
'Golden Medical Discovery have done for me,"
writes Mn. I'.mma L. Dankes, or 195J North 7th
Street, HarrUburjr. Pa. , "They have done me a
world or good. F had female weakness for six
years-, sometimes would feet so badly I did not
know what to do, but I found reller at last,
thanks to Dr. Pierce for tils kind advice. I have
this medicine still in my house and will alwaya
keep it." ... . t
