Roy. Franci~ W. Peele, Pastor CentralPres.
Church, Helena, Mont.
Ely's Cream Balm is the acknowledged
cure for catarrh and contains no mercury
nor any injurioUs drug. Price, 50 cents.
Cooled
Look at your tongue.
Is it coated ?
Then you have a bad
taste in your mouth every
morning. Your appetite
is poor, and food dis-
tresses you. You have
frequent headaches and
are often dizzy. Your
stomach is weak and
your bowels are always
constipated.
There's an old and re-
liable cure :
Don't take a cathartic
dose and then stop. Bet-
ter take a laxative dose
each night, just enough to
cause on e good free move-
ment the day following.
You feel better the
very next day. Your
appetite returns, your
dyspepsia is cured, your
headaches pass away,
your tongue clears up,
your liver acts well, and
your bowels no longer
give you trouble.

years, and t consider them the best
made. One pill does me more good
than half a box of any other k~ild I
have ever tried."

A Great Record.
The well known Rock Island Colorado
Flyer has made a record for punctual
"on time" service which has not been
equalled by any other road.
Without any attempt to make a record
but with only the usual time card rules
gov~reing, thin train running daily be-
tween Ksnsas City, Pueblo, Colorado
Springs and Denver, made the phenomi.
nal record of being late but twice during
the month of January, 1901. Consider-
ing the length of the run, 668 miles, and
the/tvprage speed of 38 miles per hour
including all stops, this is a remarkable
performance for a railroad train espec-
ially during the wintry month of Jan-
uary.
To be more exphcit, the Colorado Fly-
er runs between the Missouri river and
the Rockies and the distance is 668 miles
to,Pueblo. The two flyers, trains No. 9
and 10, cover this distance during each
24 hours making a total mileage of 1,336
miles per day. Calculating further we
find that for the entire month of Janu-
ary, these trains covered the dmfance of
40,080 miles and required 1,040 hours to
reel off this dlstsnce at the rapid con-
tinuous rate of over 38 miles per hour.
In o~der to make this average rate per
hour it must be remembered tbat the
actual ru~ning time of theflyers belween
stations approaches 60 miles per hour.
There are 27 stops to be made on each
trip.
A Good Congh Medicine for Children.
"I have no hesitancy in recommend-
ing Chamberlain's Cough Remedy," says
F. ~. Moran, a well known and popular
baker, of Petersburg, Va. "We have
given it to our children when troubled
with bad coughs, also whooping cough
and it has always given perfect satisfac-
tion. It was recommended to me by a
druggist as the best cough medicine for
children as it contained no opium or
other harmful drug." Sold by Saguache
Pharmacy.
The Crestone Mineral company of
Grestone, Colorado, has just been organ-
:ized with Wm. Mellon, Ella Mellon and
!I=[. B/Walling as directors. Thm com-
pany has been organized with a capital
stock of $50,000 and has purchased the
claims adjoining the town of Crestoue,
formerly owned by H. L. Hopkins, upon
which extensive development work is be-
ing done and proceedings for patent have
been commenced. The company is a
close corporation, no stock being offered
for sale, nor is it expected that any will
be sold until sull]cient development work
has been done to cause the stock to be
worth some money and insure the pur-
chasers a good investment. There has
been considerable work done on the
premises and a very favorable showing
has been made, and it is believed that
ere long the company will have some-
thing to show the people off the grant
that will couvmce the public that all the
miens of Golorado, or even tn the eros-
tone district are not within the grant.
The company have over 50 acres of pat-
ented ground when patent is obtained,
it being sufficient property to make it a
very strong company and one which will
merit the confidence of the people should
stock ever be offered for sale by the com-
pany.--Miner.
Night Was her Terror.
"I would cough nearly all Dight long,"
writes Mrs. Chas. Applegate, of Alexan-
dra, Ind, "and could hardly get any
sleep. I had consumption so bad that
if I walked a block I wouldcough fright-
fully and spit blood, but when all other
medicines failed, three $1 i)ottles of Dr.
King's New Discovery wholly cured me
and I gaiued 58 pounds." It's absolutely
guaranteed to cure coughs, colds, la
grippe, bronchitis And all throat and
lung troubles. Price 50c and $1. Trial
bottles free at Lord & Wilcox's drug
store, Crestone, Colo.
Editoral vigilance is the only safeguard
against error in magazine making. Every
article that is published in the Ladies'
Home Journal, for instance, is read at
least four times iu manuscript form, and
all staments of fact verified before it goes
to the printer. Then it is read and re-
vised hy the proof readers, goes back to
the author for his revision, is re read by
the edit ,rs three or more times, at differ-
ent stage,~., and ~gain by the proof read.
ors possibly half a dozen tnnes addition-
al. Thus e~ch article is read at least
fifteen or twenty times after leaving the
author's hands untill it reaches the pub-
lic eye. But with all this unremitting
vigilance errors of the most obvious kind
occasionally escape observation until
perhaps the final reading, but it is rare,
indeed, that an inaccuracy hides itself iu
the pages securely enough to go through
a magazine's edition.

Over-Work Weakens
Your Kidneys.
Unhealthy Kidneys Make Impure Blood.
All the blood in your body passes through
your kidneys once every three minutes.
~-~,~ ~ The kidneys are your
~fjJ~/f~ ~ blood purifiers, they fil-
~[}} ter out the waste or
~'l'~' ~' impurities in the blood.

[~" -~ ~ ~/~ I their work.
~ I~ [ Pains, achesandrhcu-
/ ~ ~1 ~ matism come from ex-
"-_~ =~ cess of uric acid in the
blood, due to neglected
kidney trouble.
Kidney trouble causes quick or unsteady
heart beats, and makes one feel as though
they had heart trouble, because the heart is
over-working in pumping thick, kidney-
poisoned blood through veins and arteries.
It used to be considered that only urinary
troubles were to be traced to the kidneys,
but now modern science proves that nearly
all constitutional diseases have their begin-
ning in kidney trouble.
If you are sick you can make no mistake
by first doctoring your kidneys. The mild
and the extraordinary effect of Dr. Kilmer's
Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy is
soon realized. It stands the highest for its
wonderful cures of the most distressing cases
and is sold on its merits ~.~-~__,~

Good Ore.
Dr. Kortright, the Bonanza assayer,
recently assayed a sample of tho ore
which is being taken ont of the Klondike
property near this place. The returns
were: 1~ ounces gold and 678~ ounces
silver to the ton. It is the intention to
make a good sized shipment in a short
time. The Klondike bids fair to make a
mine.
Strikes a Rich Find.
"I was troubled for several years with
chronic indigestion and nervous debili-
ty," writes F. J. Green, of Lancaster, N.
H, "No remedy helped me until I began
using Electric Bitters, which did me more
good than all the medicines I ever used.
They have also kept my wife in excellent
health for years. She says Electric Bit-
ters are just splendid for female troubles
that they are a grand tonic and invigora-
tor for weak, run down women. No other
medicine can take its place m our fami-
ly." Try them. Only 50c, satisfaction

The Alamosa Journal has the follow-
ing kind word to say of the late Henry
G. Dorris: Mr. Dorrts was an old timer
iu the valley, having lived here 25 years.
He was well known from one end of the
valley to the other and for years had been
a factor iu the politics of Costilla county.
Many a poor ranchman of northern Cos-
tills county, who was even too poor to
buy a team of horses, owe their start in
life to the generosity of H. C. Dorris,
whose generous heart was always open
to the needs of his neighbors. Many
gracious acts of this kind are a perpetual
monument to his memory.
An Honest Medicine for La Grippe.
George W. Wait,, of South Gardiner,
Me., says: "I have had the worst cough,
cold, chills and grip and have taken lots
of trash of no account but profit to the
vender. Chamberlaln's Cough Remedy is
the only thing that has done any good
whatever. 1 have used one bottle of it
and the chills, cold and gripp have all
left me. I congratulate the manufac-
turers of an honest medicine." For sale
by Saguache Pharmacy.
Range sheepmen are just as bullish in
their ideas as ever and they are not talk-
ing any lower prices for stock sheep. At
Rock Springs, Wyoming, a band of ewes
sold recently at $460 a he~d while the
general price for good ewes is $5. One
prominent ranchman says he would not
take less than $550 a head for ewes com-
ing two years old, to be delivered April
1. Men who have bands of sheep and
ranches are holding onto them and do
not seem desirous of parting with either.
