SMITH. Member Ohio Legislature, 1894 to 1896. 1896 to 1898. 1900 to 1902. ALLIED PRINTING TRADESTRIES COUNCIL CLEVELAND THE GAZETTE is the oldest, and has the largest bona fide circulation, double that of any newspaper in the interest of Afro-Americans, published in the state of Ohio, and comparison with any will immediately establish its rank as one of the NEWSIEST AND BEST in the country. The peonage system of the south has broken out afresh in South Carolina, Alabama, Georgia, and Texas. Peonage is slavery with the worst cruelty in the treatment of its Afro-American victims, added. It is akin to the convict lease system with all its horrors, of that section of the country. What is being done to stamp it out, is the result of the activity of a few federal officials of the south. May the good work continue. Peonage and the convict lease system are certainly a burning disgrace to the boasted civilization of this country. The assemblies of Maryland and Kentucky have started out to disfranchise the Afro-Americans of those states as thoroughly as have North and South Carolina, Virginia, Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana. Meantime the supreme court of the United States wrestles with test cases from Mississippi, Alabama and Virginia, taken there by our people. It is passing strange to say the least, that the attorney-general of the United States under instructions from the president, does not make the fight in the courts necessary to knock out all disfranchisement laws and state constitution amendments that conflict with the constitution of the United States. This certainly ought to be done and the people not compelled to go to the trouble and expense of doing it for the government, which is charged, particularly, with the duty of upholding all the fundamental laws of the country. LIVING IN GLASS HOUSES. It is a very forceful truth that the world is living in houses of glass, and imperfection is written upon every thing human. Sin seeks its victim irrespective of condition, class or race, and for shame, the dejected brown turns itself in humiliation when reminded of the self-reproaching guilt. Whose garments now are so clean that none have felt the influence of some misguiding power, or what race or people are they, who stand ready to cast the first stone? Oh! why should the spirit of mortal be proud, while millions wear the badge of self-impeachment? The pomp and splendor of wealth may disguise the shape and form of the real image, but it can not distroy the truth of an actual condition. We live in the homes of our own building, and though we may be slow to discover the dreadful fact that our edifices are made of glass, yet the truth reveals what reason can not dispute. Of all nations of earth, there is no people more vindictive and persistent in persecuting and defaming the good name of the colored people of America than ours (Americans), and no people engage more wantonly in this than the southern whites. A ceaseless war is waged upon the Afro-American to magnify his sins and to make base his imperfections. They paint him as the mean and loathsome wretch too foul and degraded to enjoy the companionship and amenities of a civilized and Christian people. With a dogged viciousness, they devote columns of the press to disqualify him for deserving citizenship, making him the fit subject for slavery and chains. They see not the beam that is in their own eyes, nor do they have any regard for the fact, that in almost every town and city in the south, immorality, vice and crime are at a premium. In the name of merest justice, we ask, upon what grounds can the Afro-American be so wantonly assailed, and traduced, in the face of the terrible conditions as are found in the south? The countless houses of illfame, licensed and tolerated on chosen thoroughfares, afford no argument in mitigation of the standing shame and debauchery that tell of Babylonian practices, which blight and dehumanize the soul. Men may shudder at the thought that such a revelation may be made to the rising youth of our land. They may even question the propriety and wisdom of giving prominence to sins and practices so unworthy a great and enlightened people, a people who feel such an exceptional pride for virtue, morality and religion. But, if it may seem unwisdom to dwell at length upon the imperfections of a great and powerful race rather than upon their excellences, then we ask again, why this unrelenting crusade against Afro-Americans? Why would the southern press more than all the world join in the task of hounding, villifying and slandering a poor and defenseless people, while the evidence is everywhere at hand to show that the slanderer is no better than the slandered? The enlightened world knows the real character of the people of the south. It stands as an open book, that he who runs may read. Americans are not blind to the THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, JANUARY 30, 1904. sad condition of affairs as are offered even now in the full blaze of the new century. This devilish attempt to degrade a poor unfortunate race regardless of the fact that the man who cries "thief," is himself a thief, and holds in his possession the stolen goods, affords at once an example that stands unmatched among the vilest of vile men. A scoundrel and a rogue may abuse and denounce bad men, but that does not in any wise better the condition of the former. A palpable guilt cannot be condoned because of wealth or condition. There is no variableness nor shadow of turning in the word of the Almighty. His mark of disapproval brands the crime, no matter by whom practiced. We grant that the Afro-American shares a hard condition, that he has long lived in anguish, sorrow and pain, while our mothers and sisters have walked and dwelt beneath the shadows of an unwilling life. But how with those who have licensed and enforced this debauchery, and today invite innocence and youth to betray themselves, deluded victims through the glare of the red light? All over this broad land the villianous sin is fostered in the name of what is termed "a necessary evil." The south sees fit to license a burning wrong, yet with deaf ears and closed eyes, cries out in holy horror and scorn against a people whose lives are guaged with the best of Americans, though living in poverty and rags. Let it be remembered that his offenses are the incidents of his past condition. We deem it high time that the people of the south should call a halt, cleanse themselves of their own long practiced vices, show terms of consistancy, live righteously, deal fairly, and prove themselves worthy to be called a pure and virtuous people.

Peonage or Slavery, in Texas. Galveston, Texas—Claims being investigated by the authorities as to the alleged existence of peonage in Texas reveal a deplorable state of affairs. Parties who claim to know state that upon many of the plantations Afro-Americans are being held practically in bondage, some of them being the descendents of men and women who were slaves on the same plantations. It is said that some of these have been kept in ignorance of the emancipation. In some districts they are encouraged to loosely regard marriage and are fostered under the same system as many of their progenitors in slavery days of the south. Peonage in Georgia. Atlanta, Ga., A. and O. F. Knighton, two well known farmers of Rudolph county, have been placed under bonds of $1,000 each by United States Commissioner Brown. Their cases will be tried at the next term of the United States court. John S. Hartsfield, of Cuthbert, testified that two weeks before Christmas he employed for 1904 two Afro-Americans, "Joe" Jones and Hilliard Harris, who had been working on the Knighton's farm, and made them advance on the strength of the contract: that they did not move to his place, the Knighton's preventing them from leaving the Knighton farm by intimidation, and that O. A. Knighton told "Joe" Jones in Hartsfield's presence that if he tried to move off their place it would be "the end of his move." A High Water Hero.

C.—A true bill has been found in the United States court against E. C. Daniels, a wealthy farmer, of Spartansburg, for holding in slavery a mulatto youth for nine years. The boy frequently escaped and was recaptured and whipped. Leonard Brown, the lad, said in court he received five cents in nine years, one pair of shoes a year, and was often made to work barefooted in the snow. The grand jury was unanimous in finding a true bill in three minutes. Daniels will be defended by a batch of prominent lawyers. It is the first case of the kind since the Anderson slavery case was tried in the state courts, several years ago. They Come From Many Parts of the World.

An Explosion, Caused by Firedamp, Wrecked Shaft of Hardwick Mine—Cages Hurled 200 Feet Away—Rescuing Parties Find Many Bodies. Pittsburg, Jan. 26.—Between 180 and 190 men are lying dead in the headings and passageways of the Harwick mine of the Allegheny Coal Co. at Cheswick, the result of a terrific explosion Monday. Cage after cage has gone down into the mine and come up again, but only one miner of all those that went down to work in the morning has been brought to the surface. The explosion occurred at 8:20 a.m. and the first warning was the sudden rumble underground, and then a sheet of flame followed up the deep shaft. Both mine cages were hurled through the tipple, 20 feet above the landing stage, and the three men on the tipple were hurled to the ground. Mr. Scheetz, the manager of the mine, said: "The explosion was terrific. Both cages were blown from the shaft, one of them a distance of over 200 feet." All day long there was a jam of women and children waiting about the mouth of the pit. There were calls for assistance and for surgical aid from the men in charge of the mine, but it was not until 4 p.m. that the first attempt at rescue was made. Pittsburg, Jan. 27.—Even the elements seem conspiring to prevent the work of rescue at the Harwick mine. Almost zero weather and a bitter, cruel wind late Tuesday afternoon swept down over the little valley where the mine is located and nearly added another list of dead to the long black table already measured off. At 3 o'clock in the afternoon 16 men went down into the shaft to do the work of bratticing, bolstering, tunneling and removing the debris that has so far barred their progress into the workings where the men were at labor, when the explosion came. Shortly after they were let down, two at a time, in the bucket, a temporary hoist that had been rigged up to bring up the debris and the dead was started down the shaft. Then came the snow and the cold and the wind again, and again efforts were made to reach the living men at the bottom of the shaft, but the wooden sides of the hoist, swollen by the water, stuck to the iron guide slide and then came hours of maneuvering to reach the bottom. It was 9 o'clock when the first three men of the party who went down at 3 o'clock were brought to the surface. Not one of them was able to walk, so numbed by the cold, and then they told of the experience in the mine below. Henry Beckert, one of the first men out of the cage, after 20 minutes of warmth managed to say: "It was a frightful experience. The cold and hunger—and no good that we could do. We were too cold to work. There is apparently no one to rescue. We had a hard time to find many of the dead. A shred of clothing here and another there, a jacket, a pair of overalls; but few bodies. "When we left the bottom of the shaft there were 12 bodies lying there ready to be brought up. There are many others there and the bodies of many will never be found." Pittsburg. Jan. 28.—Three days have elapsed since the terrible catastrophe at the Harwick mine of the Allegheny Coal Co. and fast night at midnight 71 bodies had been recovered and brought to the surface. Only 18 of these have been identified. The Allegheny Coal Co. last night in an official statement positively admitted that all of the men who were in the mine when the explosion occurred are dead. There are 171 names on the list, which does not include Selwyn M. Taylor, or either of the two men who were on the tipple above the mine shaft when the explosion came. Nor does the list include the name of Daniel Lysle, of Castle Shannon, whose body was found in the mine yesterday morning. He was one of the men who went down in the mine to work Tuesday night, but became separated from the rest and wandered far ahead of the air. Sulloway's Pension Bill. Washington, Jan. 28.—Representative Sulloway, of New Hampshire, chairman of the committee on invalid pensions, has introduced a service and age pension bill, which will give to each soldier who served 90 days and who reaches the age of 62 years, $8 per month; 66 years, $10 per month, and 70 years, $12 per month. In addition to the above rates his bill gives to the men who served two years or more an additional increase of $2 per month in each of the above classes. The bill increases the minimum of pensions allowed to $8 per month, instead of $6. Collision Caused Three Deaths Collision Caused Three Deaths. St. Louis, Jan. 26.—The Denver express on the main line of the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy road was run into last night from the rear by a local passenger train while taking water at Garden Creek and three persons were killed, four were severely injured and seven were hurt. The wreck occurred on a bridge over Garden creek. The bridge, two ears of the local train and the locomotive were burned. The Bridges Will Not be Elevated. Washington, Jan. 26.—Secretary Root has decided a question involving several million dollars, growing out of the application to compel the elevation of the six bridges over the Allegheny river connecting Pittsburg and Allegheny. The secretary denied these applications. In his decision the secretary points out that to grant the applications, which were opposed by the cities of Pittsburg and Allegheny, would involve the practical rebuilding of some of the bridges, an extensive change of street grades and the whole would cost several million dollars. Convicted of Embezzlement. Baltimore, Jan. 26.—Otto Berger, ex-treasurer of the Musical Union of Baltimore, was convicted before a jury Monday in the criminal court on a charge of embezzlement of $4,000 of union funds.

On Feb. 22, at Cory chapel, a "Martha Washington tea party" will be given. An interesting program is being arranged. Miss Mamie Davis of Quebec street entertained the Literary club last week Friday evening. Miss Myrtle Means entertained at whist last Thursday evening. A pleasant time was spent. At a meeting of the L'Allegro club Friday evening, January 22, a reorganization was effected. The club is in good financial condition and is becoming a very strong organization. The Alta basket ball team defeated the Fleur-de-Lis by a score of 20 to 0. Dan Fairfax played a star game. John Early had one of his front teeth knocked out during the game. If our ministers can acquiesce in the Fulton appointment then our condition is indeed sad. We do not believe they can or will. It is, however, high time for ACTION, now. A. Homen, in "Field and Farm," announces that a Nebraska white man has invented and patented a straw binder. Further "up in the air" go the Douglas Co. stockholders. Our candidate for the council on the republican ticket is J. E. Reed. We brought him out last year and came near nominating him and propose "to stand pat." Watch and see. The closing of the Produce Exchange bank ties up money for Mr. J. H. Harrison, of No. 34 Beckwith avenue, and a number of others of our people. In the end they will not sustain any loss, however. Mr. Wesley Day was struck by a Central avenue car last week Thursday evening, receiving serious scalp wounds. He will recover, however. Mr. Day has been quite unlucky in the matter of injuries. He has the sympathy of the community. Rev. Dr. W. A, Jackson, P. E., of Covington District M. E. church, will hold the second quarterly meeting at Lane Memorial church this (Saturday) evening.

Williamson (white), of this city, should revise one of his views on the "race" question. His statement that our condition, a million excepted, is worse than before the war, is not true and he ought to know it. The grand prize masquerade ball at the Forest Street armory on Tuesday evening, promises to be THE public social event of the season. The mere fact that Bowman's popular orchestra is to furnish the music, assures that much. Prizes are to be awarded to the best fancy and costumed persons. An item in our Oberlin letter this week announces the death of Charles A. Pulley, esq., a graduate of the Western Reserve law school, and a resident of Lorain. This will be sad news to his many friends and acquaintances in this city, Oberlin and Lorain, his home. The Gazette extends heartfelt sympathy to his relatives. Rev. H. C. Bailey's sermon at Antioch Baptist church, Sunday morning was, "Christian Pilgrimage." Many beneficial thoughts were placed before the audience. Prof. E. W. Curry, of Urbana, sang a very suitable solo. At the union service in the afternoon, Rev. Gilmere of St. John's church, preached. Much interest was manifested by both Christians and sinners. Our evening service was largely attended. Each tribe has been called to meet by its captain. Welcome! to our B. Y. P. U. at 6 p. m.

The many who attended the flirtation drill at Woodliff hall Wednesday evening thoroughly enjoyed the performance. It was a magnificent affair and much praise is due the young ladies. There were Essie, "Toots," THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, JANUARY 30. 1904. and Silvia, Amelia and Pauline; there were Helen, Stell and Isabel and little Tootsie Queen; there were Bessie. Blanche and Bertha, Vietta, Nan and Floss, and all looked sweet, though not discreet, in the Dutch flirtation drill. Because a southern educator, Prof. Mitchell of Richmond college, at a meeting of the southern and general education boards recently, took ground against the popular southern view on the southern question, some of the northern democratic papers think their party will stand out against race proscription. According to Prof. Mitchell, the war against the race which is being waged by many southern politicians is a mistake, moral and political. He declares that the incorporation of an anti-Negro plank in the St. Louis platform of 1904 would do serious harm to the south and to the democratic party.

ATTEMPT TO BLACKMAIL Is the Charge Upon Which a Coachman Is Being Tried at Chicago. man Is Being Tried at Chicago. Chicago, Jan. 28.—James Tilbury, former coachman for Mrs. Hollis M. Thurston, a prominent society woman, was placed on trial yesterday for attempting to blackmail his employer. Tilbury claimed he had received letters from Mrs. Thurston and threatened her with their publication unless he was given $12,000. Mrs. Thurston arranged to give him the money and officers placed him under arrest at the very moment he was receiving it. Mrs. Thurston declared that she had never written any letters to Tilbury and that the entire matter was a blackmailing scheme. Tilbury when placed on the stand swore that he had received the letters and that Mrs. Thurston had offered him $12,000 for them and had promised to marry him after securing a divorce from Mr. Thurston. Although he claimed that he had received 250 letters from Mrs. Thurston, he failed to produce them when called upon to do so by the state. After being pressed on the matter Tilbury said the letters were in a tin box in the barn at the Thurston residence. Officers were sent to search, but at a late hour last night had been unable to find anything. New York, Jan. 28.—A small but valuable oil painting, the original panel sketch of part of "Blindman's Buff," painted by Sir David Wilkie in 1812, has been stolen from the Lenox Library building here. The stolen panel, which was purchased by Mr. Lenox for the Lenox gallery in 1850, measures seven by five and a half inches and contains four or five figures only of the complete painting, now in the gallery of Buckingham palace, England. Burton Pleads Not Guilty. St. Louis, Jan. 28.—United States Senator Burton, of Kansas, was yesterday admitted to $5,000 bail to answer in the United States circuit court, March 7, for trial on the indictment charging him with accepting money for the alleged use of his influence with the postal authorities to prevent the issuance of a fraud order against the Rialto Grain and Securities Co. When arraigned before Judge Adams, he pleaded "not guilty" to the charge FIGHT FULTON TO FINISH. That is What the Good People of Cleveland Will Do-Ministers' Protests-Newspaper Rot. Columbus, O.—Subsequent events show conclusively that the announcement last Saturday, of the appointment of John Fulton of Cleveland, as commission clerk in the adjutant-general's office here to replace Capt. Deaton J. Brooks, who has held the place the past four years, was made with a view to silencing the strong opposition to Fulton. The fact that the appointment was alleged to have been made last week BUT NOT TO TAKE EFFECT UNTIL MARCH 1, fully a month and a half from Jan. 16, something heretofore unheard of in connection with this position, makes it all the more clear. Many strong letter-protests were received by the governor and the adjutant-general from all over the state, particularly from Cleveland ministers, and other leading men and women of color. One of the strongest affidavits ever filed against a man, came from a Mrs. Thos. Smith, of No. 134 Oregon street, Cleveland. The protests are continuing to come in almost every mail. If this is kept up there is no question in our mind but that Fulton will never act as commission clerk in the adjutant-general's office. We are also satisfied that such an outcome would be practically as pleasing to the governor and the adjutant-general as to the great mass of our people in Cleveland, Columbus and elsewhere throughout the state. Continue to send strong protests to the governor. Aunt Mary—Why, I thought you two had quarreled and were never going to speak to each other again. Mabel—Oh, yes. But that was yes- Mabel—Oh, yes.

Chicago's Mayor and Fire Chief are Among the Number Held to Await the Action of the Grand Jury - The Findings of the Coroner's Jury. Chicago, Jan. 26.—The coroner's jury which for three weeks has been listening to evidence relating to the fire in the Iroquois theatre last night returned a verdict by which the following persons are held to await the action of a grand jury: Carter H. Harrison, mayor of Chicago. Will J. Davis, proprietor in part, and manager of the theatre. George Williams, building commissioner of Chicago. Edward Laughlin, building inspector under Williams. William Sallers, fireman in the theatre. James E. Cummings, stage carpenter. William Mullen, who had charge of the light that caused the fire. William H. Musham, chief of the fire department. The finding of the jury follows: "The cause of the fire was drapery coming in contact with a flood of arc light; city laws were not complied with, relating to building ordinances, regulating fire alarm boxes, fire apparatus, dampers or flues, on and over the stage, and fly galleries. "There was violation of the ordinance requiring fire proofing of scenery and all wood work on and about the stage. "Asbestos curtain was inadequate, and was destroyed. "Building ordinances were violated in that aisles were enclosed on each side of the lower boxes, and in absence of fire apparatus on the orchestra floor. "Building ordinances were violated in that there was no fire apparatus in the gallery or first balcony." Will J. Davis is held responsible as president and general manager. He was primarily responsible for the observance of the laws, and was bound to see that his employees were properly instructed as to their duties in case of fire. In relation to Mayor Harrison the verdict reads as follows: "We hold Carter H. Harrison, as mayor of the city of Chicago, responsible, as he has shown lamentable lack of force, and for his efforts to escape responsibility, evidenced by the testimony of Building Commissioner Williams and Fire Marshal Musham; and, as heads of departments under the said Carter H. Harrison, following this weak course, has given Chicago inefficient service which makes such a calamity as the Iroquois theatre horror a menace until the public service is purged of incompetents." Building Commissioner Williams was held "for gross neglect of his duty in allowing the theatre to open its doors to the public when the said theatre was incomplete and did not comply with the building ordinances of Chicago." Fire Marshal Musham was held responsible "for gross neglect of duty in not enforcing the city ordinances, and failure to have his subordinate, William Sallers, fireman at the theatre, report to him the lack of fire apparatus in the theatre. Sallers was held for carelessness in handling the light that caused the fire, Cummings, as stage carpenter, for not providing the stage with proper fire protection." Chicago, Jan. 27.—Mayor Harrison, Manager Will J. Davis and the six lesser city officials and stage employees who were ordered by the coroner's jury to be held to await action of the grand jury gave bail in $5,000 each to appear when wanted. Mayor Harrison Is Exonerated. Chicago, Jan. 28.—Mayor Carter H. Harrison was yesterday ordered by Judge Tuthill to be immediately discharged from custody in connection with any responsibility for the wholesale loss of life in the Iroquois Theatre fire. The judge declared that the mayor was in no way whatever guilty or liable, and that the coroner's jury in ordering Mayor Harrison held to the grand jury had put an unjust stigma upon the mayor, who had failed in no particular whatever, either in omission or commission. A Revolt Against American Cotton. Washington, Jan. 28.—A revolt against American cotton is the title of a report received at the state department from United States Consul General Mason at Berlin, Germany. Mr. Mason says there is a simultaneous effort on the part of Great Britain, France and Germany to emancipate their textile industries from dependence on American cotton. Not only in Germany but throughout Europe he says there is a growing feeling of resentment against this dependence. Appointed a White Man Washington, Jan. 28.—The president has appointed W. B. Martin to succeed Mrs. Minnie Cox as postmaster at Indianola, Miss. This postoffice was closed some time ago, the white inhabitants of the place refusing to accept their mail from Mrs. Cox, who is a negress. Martin, who is a white man, was one of Mrs. Cox's bondsmen. A Fight with Moros. Manila, Jan. 26.—It has just been learned that Lieut. Campbell W. Flake, of the Twenty-second infantry, was killed while trying to enter Moro Cotta, Mindanao, for the purpose of examining the locality. He was accompanied by Private Foy, of the same regiment. Flake was shot treacherously, the Moros firing on the party while Maj. Bullard was parleying with them. Moro Cotta was at once taken by assault, with no further loss to the expeditionary forces. The estimated loss among the Moros is 20 killed. Arrested for Bribery. Green Bay, Wis., Jan. 26.—Aldermen A. L. Gray and George Schwartz, City Attorney Fontaine and City Assessor Parmentier were arrested Monday on warrants based upon indictments returned by the grand jury, charging them with bribery. Cliv Can't Fix the Price of Gas Chicago, Jan. 26.—Judge Grosseup, in the United States district court Monday, decided against the city of Chicago in the 75-cent gas cases. He declared that the state did not delegate to the city the power to regulate the price of gas. BRIDGING AN INLAND SEA. Stupendous Engineering We have in times past been told much of wonderful feats in railroad building, and much has been written of the engineering skill and daring that directed the course of the iron horse across the plains and mountains that lie between the Missouri river and the Pacific Ocean. "In the grandeur and magnitude of the undertaking, the Union Pacific-Central Pacific has never been equaled. The energy and perseverance with which the work was urged forward, and the rapidity with which it was executed, are without a parallel in history," were the statements of the special government commissioners to the Secretary of the Interior. Thirty-five years ago there was no time to spend on work similar to that which has just been completed. Then the world was watching while the builders of the Union Pacific and Central Pacific raced for supremacy. It was a magnificent contest, but nowadays the owners of the road have been brought to consider other problems. One of these necessitated the solution of the grade question and the straightening of the track. One of the most interesting and difficult feats of railroad engineering ever undertaken has just been completed by the owners of "The Overland Route," Union Pacific and Southern Pacific Railroad—the building of a bridge across the Great Salt Lake between Ogden, Utah, and Lacoin, Nevada. The work being practically completed, the new track was formally opened on Thanksgiving Day when Mr. E. H. Harriman, head of the Harriman Lines, and a big party of railroad magnates partook of Thanksgiving Day dinner in the middle of Great Salt Lake. The Ogden-Lucin "Cut Off" is 102 miles in length, 72 miles on land and 30 miles on trestle work and fillins over the waters of Great Salt Lake. It presents a practically level track except for a short distance on the west end near Lucin, Nevada, where a slight grade is encountered. The use of this cut off will throw out the trans-continental traffic over the old line from Ogden to Lucin, Nevada, around the Lake. This strip of track is one of the most expensive of the Harriman system, the maximum grade over the long Promontory hill is 104 feet to the mile and helper engines are always necessary. The elimination of the use of these engines will mean the saving of at least $1,500.00 a day in operating expenses and also a saving of several hours in running time. Active work was commenced in 1902, and thus the almost impossible task was completed in about 22 months. The last pile was driven during the last week of October. This great work has cost over $4,200,000.00. The cut off runs from Ogden west 15 miles over level country before reaching the lake proper, then across the east arm of the Lake 9 miles to Promontory. Then five miles of solid road bed and then 19 miles west over the west arm of the Lake toward Lucin and thence across the Great Salt Lake Desert to Lucin, Nevada. Across the east arm of the Lake, it will be almost a continuous fillin supported by tristle. Near the middle of this will be a gap of 600 feet of open tristle work left for the waters of the Bear river which flow into the arm of the Lake. Across Promontory Point runs five miles of solid road bed and here difficult work was encountered. A cut of 3,000 feet long in sand and rock of barren bluff being necessary. At this point, the most beautiful on this inland sea, surveys have been made for an immense summer resort. Across the west arm of the Lake is 11 miles of trestle work with a fillin approach at each end of four miles. In completing the work of spanning the Lake, one great difficulty was encountered across the east arm by the settling of fillins and trestle work. This was caused by the salt of the flow of the Bear river having collected for centuries over the bottom of the Lake and having formed a salt wall of 100 feet. It took 1,000 tons of rock in piles which appear to have reached the bottom of the Lake proper and which has resulted in a firm and splendid road bed. In a speech which he made at the Alta Club, Salt Lake City, on the eve of the opening of the "Cut Off," Mr. Harriman said: "The completion of this undertaking will reduce the distance between San Francisco and Salt Lake by 41 miles, and will eventually bring the time between the two cities down to 22 hours. "It is intended to reduce the running time from Salt Lake to Chicago to 30 hours, and put passengers into New York in 56 hours from Salt Lake. "These two railroads—Union Pacific and Southern Pacific—have spent in the last three years somewhere near $130,000,-000.00 in repairs and improvements aside from the expenses of operation or maintenance." MESSAGES AT HIGH SPEED. Inventor of Multiplex System Devises an Instrument Sixty Times as Rapid as Ordinary Telegraphy. Telegraph messages can be sent and received at a rate of from 1,000 to 3,000 words a minute. A newspaper representative recently saw and heard a message transmitted and delivered at these speeds. In the transmission of messages press wires can, by the use of the shortest code, with the most expert operators, carry only an average of 2,500 words an hour. The record is 3.300 at present. The inventor, P. H. Dalaney, who devised the multiplex system, has been working on his device for ten years in South Orange. Stripped of all technicality, the new automatic telegraph system may be described as follows: A typewriter keyboard, when manipulated, causes two rows of perforations to be made upon a narrow tape of paper which unwinds itself automatically over the type faces and rewinds after being perforated. This contains the message in a Morse cipher, the dots being read when two holes are at a close angle or nearly in perpendicular alignment, and the dashes when the angle is greater. This tape, reeled as it is finished, is put upon the transmitter, which sends the same dashes and dots to the receiving office. The perforator is an adjunct of the keyboard and is controlled by a powerful and very rapid electric motor. Max Come to It.

"I was troubled with Kidney Disease for several years and Dodd's Kidney Pills cured me. I had used many so-called remedies without any benefit. Four months ago, I was flat on my back with this painful trouble and must say that I almost gave up hopes of ever getting any better. Through a friend's advice I purchased six boxes of Dodd's Kidney Pills. "At first I could see but little benefit, but after two weeks, I could see an improvement. I had been getting up several times at night and pains in my back were very severe. When I had taken six boxes I felt better than I had for years. The pain had all gone and I didn't have to get up during the night at all. I continued the treatment until I had used several more boxes, and now I am glad to say that I am completely cured."

Treasury Department, graduate of Columbia College, and who served three years at West Point, has the following to say of Peruna: "Allow me to express my gratitude to you for the benefit derived from your wonderful remedy. One short month has brought forth a vast change and I now consider myself a well man after months of suffering. Fellow sufferers, Peruna will cure you." A constantly increasing number of physicians prescribe Peruna in their practice. It has proven its merits so thoroughly that even the doctors have overcome their prejudice against so-called patent medicines and recommend it to their patients. Peruna occupies a unique position in medical science. It is the only internal systemic catarrh remedy known to the medical profession to-day. Catarrh, as everyone will admit, is the cause of one-half the disease which afflicts mankind. Catarrh and catarrhal disease afflict one-half of the people of United States. Robert R. Roberts, M. D., Washington, D. C., writes: "Through my own experience as well as that of many of my friends and acquaintances who have been cured or relieved of catarrh by the use of Hartman's Peruna, I can confidently recommend it to those suffering from such disorders, and have no hesitation in prescribing it to my patients."----Robert R. Roberts. Dr. R. Robbins, Muskogee, I. T., writes: "Peruna is the best medicine I know of for coughs and to strengthen a weak stomach and to give appetite. Besides prescribing it for catarrh, I have ordered it for weak and debilitated people, and have not had a patient but said it helped him. It is an excellent medicine and it fits so many cases. "I have a large practice, and have a chance to prescribe your Peruna. I hope you may live long to do good to the sick and the suffering." Dr. M. C. Gee, writes from 513 Jones St., San Francisco, Cal.: "Peruna has performed so many wonderful cures in San Francisco that I am convinced that it is a valuable remedy.

I also consider it one of the finest catarrh remedies I know of."—M. C. Gee, M. D. Catarrh is a systemic disease curable only by systemic treatment. A remedy that cures catarrh must aim directly at the depressed nerve centers. This is what Peruna does. Peruna immediately invigorates the nerve-centers which give vitality to the mucous membranes. Then catarrh disappears. Then catarrh is permanently cured. If you do not derive prompt and satisfactory results from the use of Peruna write at once to Dr. Hartman, giving a full statement of your case, and he will be pleased to give you his valuable advice gratis.
