The Story of a Medicine. ' IU name "Golden Medlca.1 Discovery suggested b one of Its most Import ant ' and valuable Ingredients Golden fk-nl root. Nearly forty years ago. Dr. Pierce dis covered that he could, by the use of pure, triple-re fined glycerine, aldod by a cer tain degree of constantly maintained heat and with the aid of apparatus and appliances designed for that purposn, ex tract from our most valuable native me dicinal roots their curative properties much better than by the use of alcohol, generally employed.

JviLli'-oover Q. fe.1vl-e.T7 PS a Lii BLUFFS CONCRETE TOO EXPENSIVE New Sitt for Engine Home Cheaper than Protecting the Old. MONEY READY TO BUILD HOUSE Meeting of Coancil Tenlght Essteeted to Kettle the Question of Who ' Will Be the ew Depty ' City Clerk. ' "I do not believe the city council would authorise the expenditure of between 18.000 and $12,000 to conatruct concrete retaining walls In -Indian creek In order to build a new engine house, when'a site for the pro posed new building can be securd for a little over 13,000 at Washington avenue and Bryant rtreet, as I am informed." said a member of the city council yesterday. The site refer! ed to Is the old City Mill property, which, It Is said, can be-bought for about $3,000." City Engineer Etnyre esti mated that the cost of the concrete retain ing walls In Indian creek would be about $S,0On, but It la understood that thla esti mate did not include the cost of the neces sary piling. While It la generally conceded th,t a new central fire station la urgently needed, pub lic opinion appears to be against- erecting the proposed new building on the site of the present structure on account of the great expenae Involved In bridging the creek. The matter of the proposed new engine house Is expected to come up at the meeting. of the city council tonight. E. A. Wickham stated yesterday that he would stand by his offer to furnish the city the money, for the erection" of the new engine house, but if anybody else was ar.ixioua.Jo provide the funds, he Was will ing to-turn It over to them. Hon. William Oroneweg, the new member of the Fire and Police commission, haa tendered as.000 for thia purpose, and another citizen' who does not wish his name to be made public has tenlered $6,000. The city officials have no fear but that they will be able to get all the money needed for the new engine house as soon as It Is decided where it shall be erected. ' Some Decision as to the appointment of a deputy city clerk is looked for at the meet ing tonight. Clerk Casady was anxious to retain 11. A. Waddlngton, the deputy under W. J.8app. Mr. Waddlngton, being a re publican of he rank and file, the demo cratic party raised a protest. ''To- the vic tor belongeth the spoils," they cried, and they have carried the day. Mr. .Waddlng ton is booked for retirement In the near future, but- who will get the position haa mot been determined. Friends of Myers Hansen, the democratic candidate for clerk of the district court, are urging his appoint ment, while Alfred Mortenson, a relative of Councilman Skodsholm, Is also after the Job.

"That is one of the secrets of cold stor age," said Mr. Greene today, "and cold storage men have been slow to become ao qualntcd with the fact. Apples can be kept In cold storage for almost any length of lime t a temperature of 30 to 31 degrees or Just below the freexlrg point and keep nicely If the frost is allowed to go out ot them very slowly. If a barrel of apples kept in cold storage at such a tempera ture is taken out and opened up and the apples allowed to thaw out at once, fast they will spoil soon after. If the tempera ture is merely raised to a little above 32 and allowed to remain so for some days and then the temperature raised gradually above that before the apples are opened they will be serviceable for som time. "I have not had time to examine a great deal of the fruit since the cold weither and there Is no use In making any extensive ex aminations till the cold weather Is passed. But I did examine some blossoms snd found that many were not Injured. Wheie ever It was cloudy It Is possible for a con siderable part of the fruit to get through. Wherever the sun comes out warm before the frost has had time to get out of the blossoms thsy are killed. An onion can be frozen solid and If the frost goes out of It gradually It will not be Injured. If It goes out of It fast the onion will be soft and mushy at once." Inn a filrl Commits Snlclde.

TROUBLE BREWING IN INDIA Force of Afghans Attacks Drllluk Outpost and Natives Are Restless. LONDON. May 4. India Is a source of considerable uneasiness to the British gov ernment at the present time. The diffi culties with the Mohmands seemed on the eve of settlement when on Saturday, ac cording to reporta received here, a now danger threatened. Am attempt was made by a large Afghan force numbering from 13.C00 to 20,000, which went across the border divided Into two bodies, to1 selxe tlie block house of Ktiyber pass near Landlkhootal. The attack was repulsed with trifling casu alltles among the British, but the Afghans remained In front ot Landlkhootal and an other body Is believed to be entering Baxaar valley. Generil Wlllcox, who . is in cum maul of the British forces recently dis patched lo quell the troubles, has gone to Jamrad, a few miles west of Peshawar, at the entranc e of Khyber pass and Is hasten ing forward his troops to- meet the new development. All frontier telegrams are carefully cenrored at Simla, from Calcutta comes the tews lit tno discovery of a plot to murder Europeans by means of bombs. Tha conspiracy appears to, be of an extensive character and many arrests have been made. The responsibility for the plot is placed on the natives, a number of Incrim inating documents having been seised, to gether with a supply of bombs and other explosives. The discovery of tlie plot was made through the arrest and confession cf the author of the bomb outrage at Mocuf ferpur. tne capital of the province of the lima name in Bengal, In which two Euro peans were killed. The morning newspapers, referring to the Indian news, generally concur that there Is no causa for alarm or for grave anxiety, If. as Is hoped, the ameer Is not directly resonpslble for the altitude of the Afghan border tribes, but they point out that unti the ameer's attitude Is definitely known It behooves the government to be alert and prepared for eventualities.
