The formnilon and subsequent vi cissitudes of the Union Pacific rail road company forma one of the most fascinating stories In the history of American Industry., A writer In the r.iilroaj ilar.ctte outlines the history of that groat system In the following hi li f review: The original Union Pacific company was created by act of congress during the civil war. and the credit of the Vnited States government to the ex tent of many millions of dollars was extended to aid In building a great railroad across the "deserts" and through the mountains. The road whs completed In 1SS9, and It was the rause of the greatest scandal In the history of the American congress the Credit Mobllier. which smirched the reputation of many congressmen: and led to the expulsion of two mem bers. Bankruptcy. The road was operated with vary ing success and many scandals until 1 ?!'.'!. when It went Into the hands of receivers at about the time when the courts took possession of the Atchi son railroad, the Northern Pacific and man? others because business had failed to such a low ebb that they could not pay their debts. The road remained in the control of the court until 1S97. A compromise was finally reached, the government's loan to the company was fully secured, and a reorganiza tion was effected In 1S97, which put the system under the control of th present Union Pacific company. The new company Immediately set to work to recover branches and di visions which had been separated from the system, and to reconstruct the road. Immense sums were spent In this process of rehabilitation. Harrlman's Influence. E. H. Harrlman has been the or ganizing genius of the system ever since its re-organizatlon. His plans have been gigantic, and they have been carried forward with energy and success. Having made a first-class system out of the dismembered and long neg lected system. Harrlman began to reach out. He bought, for the Union Pacific, a controlling Interest In the great Southern Pacific system, for Its connection on the Pacific coast. When this purchase was made the popular Idea was that Harrlman would "skin" the Southern Pacific In the Interest of the Union Pacific. Instead of that, he has brought both systems up to a high standard of efficiency and profit yielding, and now has put the South ern Pacific where It has never been before in the list of dividend paving, companies. War In Wall Street. When James J. Hill adopted a pol icy that was accounted Inimical to the Union Pacific. Harrlman Immediately entered Into that memorable contest for the control of the Northern Pa cific, which resulted In cornering the market for that stock, running Its price up momentarily to $1000 a share and precipitating the panic of May 9, 1901, the worst that Wall street ever experienced. On that day stocks went so low that If wiser counsels had not prevailed and brought about a rally, every bank in New York would have failed. But Harrlman came out a gainer In the light of subsequent developments. i.ITe held a large Interest in Hill's great railroad trust the Northern P!"curl tiesVompany nnd when that corpor ation was dissolved by the courts, the redistribution of Its assets put Harrl man nnd the Union Pacific In control of a large lot of Great Northern stock. The Union Pacific thus owns mil lions of dollars" worth of the stpeks of the other railroad companies, nnd these holdings are estimated to he now worth $100,000,000 more than their original cost. The Union Pacific company, therefore, can pay divi dends not only out of the profits of railroad operations, but also out of Incomes from Investments. This fact, together with the ph. nomenal success that has been achieved In building up the business of the railroad, explains why Union Pacific stock, which 10 years ngo was scorned by Investors and kicked around Wall street with almost no value, has now become a 10 per cent stock, selling for almost double Its par value. Steve Adams Taken to Wallace to Answer for Murder. A Orangevllle special to the Lew lston Tribune says: Sheriff Angus Sutherland of Shoshone county, War i den E. L. Whitney of the Idaho state j penitentiary and Deputies E. P. John ; son nnd J. P.

Reld, who will be at the head of Harvard football this year, is probably the highest salaried football coach In the country. Reld last year received $.1500 from the Harvard Athletic association for his two months' coaching, and theu it was admitted he received $1600 from other sources, so that his salary was S'iOOO a year, almost as much as Pres ident Eliot himself received. The only other coach who ever received this amount was Foster Sanford, the old Yale player, when he was coach at Columbia. Now, with the exception of Reld, the highest salary usually paid to a football coach is $3500. This Is tho amount which Coach Yost re ceives from Michigan. It is also the amount that Coach Williams of Min nesota and Coach Stagg of Chicago are thot to receive. An electric car at Los Angelei ran Into an express ear on a siding. E. D.

My back nnd loins were lame and sore, companled by sharp twinges of pain, At this time Doan's Kidney Pills were recommended to me and I began using them. They brought relief at once and banished the entire trouble.

S. has steadily increased since it was first placed on the market until it is now recognized as the greatest of all Wood purifiers. . It has won its way to success because IT CURES DISEASE, and there are few homes where "S. S. S. for the blood" is not a household saying. As the blood is the very life of the body, nourishing and supplying strength to every part, disease in some form is sure to follow when it becomes contam inated. Iiczema, Acne, Tetter, Boils, Pimples and the various skin aflectio:: are due to an over-acid and impure blood-supply. Rheumatism, CatarrV. Scrofula, Chronic Sores and Ulcers, Contagious Mood Poison, etc., are u. deep-seated blood diseases and will continue to grow worse and more danger ous as long as the impurities and poisons which produce them remain in t'n blood. In all blood disorders S. S. S. has proven itself a perfect remedy, ain well earned the right to be called the greatest of all blood purifiers. It goes down into the circulation and forces out all pobois, impurities, humors, and unhealthy matter, and makes this life-stream rich, pure and health-sustaining. S. S. S. reaches inherited blood taints and so enriches the circula tion that diseases of years standing are permanently cured. It contains no harmful minerals and is nature's real blood purifier.
