WAGON ROAD TO DAWSON
Northwest Mounted Police Build'ng
One 1,400 Miles Long
"A wagon road from Edmonton to
Dawson City, 1,400 miles long, is be-
ing built by the royal Northwest
mounted police," said D. Warlc, Por-
tage La Prairie, Manitoba. "One party
of about fifty constables under Super-
intendent Constantine left Edmonton
In March and already have reached
Fort St. John, on the Peace river.
Here the barracks and storehouses to
serve as winter quarters have been
built. The police will cut a trail from
Fort St. John to Teslin, putting up
roadhouses every twenty-live miles,
and keeping communication open be-
tween the two places by means of
pack trains. At Teslin they will con-
nect with the northern detachment,
which Is working from Dawson City
under the comamnd of Inspectors Mc-
Donald and Frazier. Three years’ sup-
plies have been contracted for. The
expedition will help to open up the
Peace river and the McKenzie gold
mining districts.”—Milwaukee Free
Press.
Convincing Evidence.
Winthrop, Cal., Nov. 20th (Special)
—A plain and straightforward story
Is always the most convincing. And
that Is what has impressed us most
In reading the testimonials in regard
to Dodd’s Kidney Pills. The experi-
ence told by Davis Lewis of this place
bears the ring and stamp of truth
upon it. He says:—
‘‘I was troubled for six months
with dull heavy pains in the small
of my back, sometimes it passed into
my stomach, at other times up be-
tween my shoulders. When it was
In my stomach I was doubled up, and
hardly knew what to do for the pain.
I was advised to take all kinds of
remedies, and did so but without get-
ting any relief. Then some one told
me to try Dodd’s Kidney Pills. I got
a box and began taking them. The
first few doses gave me relief, by the
time I had finished them all the pain
was gone and I have been well ever
since.”
The Will of Jerry Simpson
The will of the late Jerry Simpson
has been tiled in the probate court at
Roswell, New Mexico. It was made
In accordance with the laws of Kansas
and was brief and to the point.
By the laws of Kansas the widow-
will receive one-half of the estate and
the otehr half to the child.
Mr. Simpson had but one child, Les-
ter Simpson, a ranchman of Roswell.
The widespread report that the estate
was mortgaged is not correct, and tne
property consists of a city residence
and a ranch south of Roswell. The
entire property is valued at $10,uuu.
The property will be sold, and Mrs.
Simpson will move to Wichita, Kas,
where she will malco her future home.
Lester Simpson will remain at Ros-
well, where he has ranch Interests.
And some of us get confused and
think that of two evils we are com-
pelled to choose the least, when we
really need not choose either.
This Is No Joke.
Hunt’s Cure has saved more people
from the “Old Scratch" than any
other known agent, simply because It
makes scratching entirely unneces-
sary. One application relieves any
form of itching skin disease that ever
■filleted mankind. One box guaran-
teed to cure any one case.
It is all right, perhaps, lor a man to
think his own time is worth nothing,
but he becomes an enemy to humanity
when he begins taking up the time of
others to no purpose.

MME. TAKAHIRA TO RETURN
Coming Back to America After an Ab-
sence of Two Years
After an absence of almost two
years, Mine. Takahlra, the clever little
wife of the Japanese minister, is about
to return to America. She is one of
the most amiable and attractive mem-
bers of the foreign corps in Washing-
ton, and her coming will open a home
celebrated for its hospitality. The
minister has entertained little in his
wife’s absence, and he has a lone list
of social debts to pay. Mme. Taka-
hira is an authority on gowns. She
used to order them direct from Baris,
and she usually was several months
in advance of the styles on this side.
She was known also fo rher beautiful
pearls. She possessed by far the most
beautiful collection in Washington,
not even excepting the pearls of Mrs.
William F. Draper of Massachusetts,

ous when the Drapers were at the
Roman embassy.—New York Press.
WIDOWS AND DESERTED WIVES
Large increase of Applicants for As-
sistance in Chicago
A remarkable increase in the num-
ber of widows and deserted wives ap-
plying for assistance to tbe Chiacgo
Relief and Aid society during the last
year over the preceding years is noted
in the annual report of the society.
The report says:
“More than one-fourth of the cases
that come to the society are widow's
with little children; more than one-
eighth deserted women with little
children. There is illness in the fam-
ily in nearly every case.
In the direct relief of the poor the
society spent $26,400. A new feature
of the -work was the fresh air station
for sick babies, conducted in conjunc-
tion with the Visiting Nurses’ associ-
ation. Next summer the society hopes
to establish many more such stations
in the small parks or in open spaces in
the congested parts of the city.

catarrh of stomach, "liver complaint,"
torpid liver, or biliousness, chronic bowel

or long standing cases of catarrhal affec-
tions and their resultants, as bronchial,
throat and lung diseases (except consump-
tion) accompanied with severe coughs. It
is not so good for acute colds and coughs,
but for lingering, or chronic cases It is
especially efficacious In producing per-
fect cures. It contains Black Cherrybark,
Golden Seal root, Bloodroot, Stone root.

guaranty of its merits. A glance at this
published formula will show that "Golden
Medical Discovery” contains no poison-
ous or harmful agents and no alcohol—
chemically pure, triple-refined glycerine
being used instead. Glycerine is entirely
unobjectionable and besides is a most
useful Ingrediont In the cure of all stom-
ach as well as bronchial, throat and lung
