Tvro-Cnt Hate Law in Nebraska
Causes a Retrenchment on Part of
all the Rig Systems Burlington
Trolit Which Sow Make Run front
Chicago to Denver tn S7 Hours
Will lengthen Its Running Time
to S3 Hour.
On account of the 1-cont pasaen
ger fare law In Nebraska, all of the
big railroad systems effected are to
cut down the schedules of their fast
trains and otherwise reduce ex
penses. The Chicago Record-Herald
ray? of the movement:
Western railroad officials are dis
cussing the advisability of lengthen
ing out the running time of fast
trains with a view to greater econ
omy of operation.
It Is stated that owing to 2-cent
passenger legislation and the neces
sity of conserving everywhere the
western officials believe a general
lengthening In train schedules Is ad
to carry the plan into effect is an
carry the plan Into effect is an
agreement as to the time it is ad
visable to make.
Although no understanding has
been reached, there is a general feel
ing that the time of the fast trains
between Chicago and Omaha and
Kansas should be lengthened by
about two hours, and the time of the
fun trains between Chicago and the
Pacific coast by nearly half a day.'
The Burlington's fast train be
tween Chicago and Denver, for ex
ample, now makes the run In twenty-seven
and one-half hours, and It
Is proposed to place it on a schedule
of thirty-three hours, or even slower.
If this is done, corresponding reduc
tions will be made in the time be
tween the other cities mentioned.
The saving in expense by such a
rearrangement in schedules would
result In a saving In the cost of ope
ration of the trains affected and
would also make it possible to take
iff a large number of local trains.
With lengthened schedules it would
be possible to do the local work with
the fast trains.
HORSES ARE HIGH PRICED.
Greatest Activity in Tears Shown in
Chicago Market.
The Chicago Livestock World says
of the horse market in that city dur
ing the past week:
Nearly 500 horses got In yesterday,
and the week's supply promises to be
around 4000. Plenty of buyers have
ben at the ringside and the heavy
supply has been taken good care of.
Good-quality chunks, weighing 1300
pounds and over, and big horses with
merit sold very well and made mon
ey. Nice, smooth business horses
re ready sellers, but common south
erners and aged farm stuff has sold
a lot lower. Shippers will consult
their own Interests by letting plain
and common stuff alone. Demand
centers on desirable stuff.
The big run this week will prob
ably be followed by a contracted run
and the prospect Is for an active
market on any kind of a good,
smooth horse. It Is well-shaped
stock that Is making the money now.
The run has carried a lot of heavy

Holes in Cheeks Hands Pinned

ingThree Doctors' Best Efforts
Failed to Give Relief.
BUT CUTICURA WORKS
A MIRACULOUS CURE
"When my little boy was six months
old he had eecema. The sores extended
so quickly over the whole body that
we at onos called in the doctor. We
then went to another doctor, but he
could not help him, and in our despair
we went to a third one. Matters be
came so bad that he had regular boles in
his cheeks, large enough to put a finger
Into. The food had to be given with
a spoon, for his mouth was covered
with crusts as tliick as a finger, and when
ever he opened the mouth they began
to bleed aad suppurate, as did also his
eyes. Hands, arms, chest, and back, in
short the whole body was covered over
and over. We had no rest by day or
night. Whenever he was laid in his
bed, we had to pin his hands down,
otherwise he would scratch his face and
make an open sore. 1 think his face
must have itched most fearfully.
"We finally thought nothing oould
kelp, and I had made up my mind to
end my wife with the child to Europe,
hoping that the sea air might cure him.
otherwise he was to be put under good
medical care there. But, Lord be
blessed, matters came differently, and
we soon saw miracle. A friend of
ours spoke about Cuticura. We made
trial with Cuticura .Soap, Ointment,
and Reeolvent, and within ten days or
two weeks we noticed a decided im
provement. Just as quickly as the
sickness had appeared it also began to
disappear, and within ten weeks the
child was absolutely well, and his Bkin
was smooth and whitfl as never before.

Fruit Company Organized.
Articles of Incorporation of the
Grande Ronde Valley Fruit company
have been filed with the county
clerk. The capital stock of the com
pany Is 1500,000 and the following,
all of Provo, Utah, are named as the
Incorporators: O. B. Suhr, J. J.
Nnnn, W. I- Ulersach, A. L. Wood
house and F. F. Stelgneyer. The in
corporators have subscribed $51,000
of the capital stock, the principal In
terest being held by J. J. Nunn. He
Is the gentleman who was here last
fall and made extensive purchases of
fruit lands in the vicinity of Mt.
Emily. In connection with these
purchases Mr. Nunn also ordered 10,
000 fruit trees, consisting principal
ly of apples and cherries.
Mr. Nunr. arrived in La Grande a
few days ago and will remain several
weeks looking after the business of
tho newly organised company. They
have 40 acres of fruit lands, includ
ing a portion of what was formerly
known as the old Enloe place and
adjacent tracts. This land Is situated
on the side hill about five miles
north of T.a Grande. It Is not yet de
termined how much of this tract will
te put out to fruit trees this spring
as a great deal will depend on the
condition of the weather and other
circumstances. " The obJectB of tha
new company are to buy and Improve
fruit Hnds, construct and maintain
fruit warehouses and transact other
business of a similar character.

County's Bonks Kxperted.
W. H. Moore, the expert who has
been examining the hooks of the dif
ferent county officers of Latah coun
ty, has completed his labors and sub
mitted his rencrt to the board of
comity commissioners. He finds that
during the tenure of office of Auditor
Le.reon the county overpaid the sum
rlue the state tc the amount of 12,
659.52. It seems that this overplus
was paid because the incumbent of
the office here kept no account with
the state, but simply remitted the
sums the state auditor says were due.
The commissioners have Instructed
the present auditor to withhold that
sum from the state's taxes during the
current year.
The expert also found that through
misinterpretation of the law, Probate
Judge J. R. Strong, who preceded
the present Incumbent, withheld $220
In fees received for officiating at
marriages, and that the present in
cumbent, C M. Lukens, has retained
$340 received from the same source
which legally belongs to the county.
The commissioners will make de
mand upon them for the payment of
these sums.
The report also shows that the as
sets of the county exceed Its liabili
ties in the sum of $25.849.95. Mos

Dim Tarpley Tells of tho Crooked
Deals In Oregon.
A dispatch from Washington says
of the Blnger Hermann trial:
Dan Tarpley, In the Hermann case
today, told of his transactions In the
Blue mountain reserve lands. He had
17.000 acres Jointly with Horace Mc
Klnley. They gave the son of Forest
Superintendent Ormsby a one-eighth
Interest In 10,000 acres for advance
Information from his father, and also
paid him $500 for a favorable report
on lands they -wished Included in the
reserve. For his help In the matter,
F. P. Mays wanted 60 per cent of
the land included in the reserve, but
a compromise was reached on a basis
of 60 cents an acre.
S. D. A. Puter went on the stand
late this afternoon. He told In a gen
eral way of his methods In the land

tries in the 7-11 deal.
The Ashes of the Dead.
James Russell Lowell was a great
favorite in the literary circles of Lon
don. On one occasion at a large ban
quet the peculiarities of American
speech were discussed with English
bluntness. Lord S. called to Mr. Lowell
loudly, so as to silence all other speak
ers: "There Is one new expression invent
ed by your countrymen so foolish and
vulgar as to be unpardonable. They
talk of the 'ashes of the dead.' We
don't burn corpses. No Englishman
would use a phrase so absurd."
"And yet" said Mr. Lowell gently.
"your poet Gray says, speaking of the
dead:
"E'er In our ashes live their wonted fires.
"And In the burial services of the
church of England It is said, 'Dust to
dust and ashes to ashes.' We sin In
good company." A cordial burst of ap
plause greeted this prompt rejoinder.
The Severest Teat.
The severest test of manhood Is never
found In good times, but only In hard
times. It is not the man who has sue
cess when others are doing well, but
it Is the man who keeps up his courage
and struggles ou when everybody else
Is wavering or going down who Is the
hero in the sight of God and men. It Is
an easy matter to make good time
when both wind and tide are In one's
favor or when one Is moving with the
current, but It requires character and
skill and daring to make head in spite
of opposing forces or to work success
fully against the current Exchange.

American Consul Writes From Aus
tralia on Precious Stones.
Consul F. W. Godlng, writing from
Newcastle, New South Wales, in re
gard to the different kinds of gems
in Queensland, says:
Rough diamonds have been found
lately in Queensland, one purchased
weighing 4 carats, while many
others weighing from 1 to 5 carats
have been sold.
Diamonds so far found in the state
have not been of sufficient value to
cause excitement, and this, together
with the fact that European and
American gem merchants have ad
Judged them as inferior quality, has
discouraged exploration. Sapphires
have been found in various places,
many of the yellow and green being
equal to any produced anywhere. Re
cently $1260 was refused for a rough
yellow sapphire, and a large blue one,
with a yellow center, weighing 2
ounces, brought $2500.
The true rubles have been found
of good color, but are small. Hya
cinth zircons, weighing 24 carats, are
well known. Zircons, sapphires, topaz,
tourmaline, and other gems may be
picked out of ballast along the rail
way lines. Olivine is fairly common.
The pearl is the best known of Aus
tralian gems, and for many years
thousands of dollars worth have been
secured in Queensland. The oyster
fisheries of Thursday Island have been
the chief Bource of supply, but pearls
are found all along the Queensland
coast. The opal is preeminently the
Queensland gem and Is found over
the entire western district of the state,
the total output amounting to over
$1,250,000.

Jasper, moss agate, morion onyx,

may be said that nearly every known
gem has been found within . the
Queensland borders, many of them In
commercial quantities.
GENERAL Kl'ROPATKIN.
Successful In All His Campaigns Rut
the Last.
General Alexel Kuropatkln, who
despite his ill success in the conflict
with Japan, is still regarded as Rus
sia's greatest soldier, was born March
17, 1848. He entered upon his ca
reer at an early age, studying in sev
eral of the leading military schools
anl later seeing service In barracks
and camp. He rose to the command
of the Russian army and became
minister of war. For years prior to
the clash with Japan he was the un
challenged head of the war party In
Russia. He believed In pushing Rus
sian troopj to the uttermost ends of
Asia In the movement towards the
Indian fi antlers, in the absorption of
Manchuria, and in the attacks on
Korei Ms hand was plainly seen by
all familiar with Russian politics.
He Is not a cabinet warrior, how
ever, for few generals have seen
more active service in the field. He
served in the Rtisso-Turklsh war, the
Khlvan expedition and the Khokan
dese and Mervo campaigns, beside di
recting the Russian campaign in tho
late war in Manchuria.
