In the supreme court Washington recently an opinion was handed down by Judge Brown, in the case of the Big Four railroad vs.

the state of Illinois. The case involved the constitutionality of thestate law of Illinois requiring all trains to stop at all county seats in the state and the proceedings originated in the form of a petition for a writ of mandamus to compel the Knickerbocker "special," running between New York and St. Louis, to stop at all county seat stations. The case was decided in favor of the state by the Illinois supreme court, but the opinion by Judge Brown reversed that judgment on tho ground that the law in this case is a direct and unnecessary burden on interstate commerce.

THE HORSE HOLDS ITS OWN, Despite Modern invention the Age Seems Still Far Distant. That a horseless age is at hand has been the cry for several years both in America and Europe. The frequent and confident statement of academic military men that cavalry could no longer be counted a useful arm of war, owing to the great power of modern artillery, hardly less than the success of the electric street car, the extensive use of the cycle and the boom pf the automobile, "have made this cry seem plausible. But as yet the cry is not justified by the facts. It is true that electricity is rapidly monopolizing the urban transportation of passengers, and that pleasure carriages moved by motors are every day becoming more popular, but nevertheless the horseless age is still a long way iti the future.

The military sharps whose beliefs were based on theory instead of practice, have discovered through the bitter experience of the British in South Africa that cavalry is by no means an obsolete branch of the army. Indeed, lack of horses has been by all odds the most serious drawback Lord Roberts and the other British generals have had to encounter. At this moment British agents are scouring the world for remounts, and often paying exhorbitant prices for the because the "cry of a coming horseless age was taken too seriously a few years back by the breeders. But while the current military demand for horses has much to do with the present stiffening prices, it is only one of the causes responsible therefor. The passing of the demand for car horses which caused the ruthless slaughter of tens of thousands of animals of that grade, inaugurated a permanent condition, but today in New York, Chicago and other large cities of the United is a more pressing call for horses of the better grades than has been known for years.

General prosperity is responsible for this, and its influence on ths horse market is twofold. Unprecedented business activity calls for great numbers of draft horses, and an abundance of money, well distributed, naturally increases riding and driving for pleasure, and the demand for harness and saddle horses. The bicycle and the automobile have their places and are certain to remain in favor, but nevertheless there is a large and growing element that cannot be satisfied with steeds of steel. C. R.

Good Qualities That Put the Stamp of Excellence Upon This Article. THE TURMOIL OF COMPETITION Death Frequently the Result of an Effort to Make a Living. Death is frequently the result of a man's effort to make a living.

In the iurmoil of competition the internal organs and their needs are forgotten. First, the bitter taste in the mouth, and offensive breath; then follows constipation; then, Bilious and Nervous Disorders, Dyspepsia and a host of diseases that prostrate the once strong man. Beecham's Pills are an indipensable tonic for a man who works. They regulate the digestive organs and make ui bright and ready for the hardest iiud of toil. They rid the system of accumulated impurities and so prevent the occurrence of a list of diseases too numerous to mention.

Beecham's Pills are not an experiment. A fifty years' record of actual jures prove them to be the best bracer 'or a man who is under mental or ihysical strain. Magic Towns. To one whose life has been spent in an old and thickly settled community he sights and scenes attendant upon he opening up of a new country possess every element of novelty. Towns spring up in open fields or on unfeuced prairie seemingly in a single night; levators, lumber yards, farm rnachin- ry warehouses, stores of all descrip- ioiis, restaurants, banks, livery stables and residences appear as if by magic, ind the traveler, returning after a hort absence, can scarcely credit his iwn eyesight.

Such has been the history of the lew towns located along the Worth- ngton-Wilmont-Hardwick extension )f the Burlington, Cedar Rapids Vorthern, "Cedar Rapids Route," vhich Hue was projected and surveyed ant summer and partially completed equipped with train service the Gth of December. Two rapidly growing towns, Reading and Wilmot, re now located on this line and with he completion of the road to Hard- vick, two more new towns will be uilt. The road penetrates the heart )f Southern Minnesota's richest wheat jelt in Nobles and Rock counties, the arming communities through which runs are exceedingly prosperous and he new towns which have come into the past three months are as- tired from the very start of an excel- out trade with a wealthy and well es- ablished farming community. It seems almost incredible that these owns, started as they were in the lead of winter, should enjoy the growth which has been theirs. Within hree months and with tho frost not et out of the ground, they have ac- juired all the essentials of prosperous nisinees communities and have as well uado provision for church, Sunday chool and school work.

The opening ip of these now towns and of this new inn of roail presents to the ambitious nan many opportunities for advance- noiit that aro not to bo found in the Ider communities. Hustling business neu, talt-uted professional men and xperienced farmers are wanted in that ectiou and will find it to their advau- age to locate there.

Frank Dalton, No. 423 Vermont Quincy, 111., says that she has had kidney trouble for three years. I suffered a severe pain in the small of my back all the time and had all the symptoms of kidney disorders. I grew weak and nervous, and then I became restless and could not sleep at night. I often got up in the morning more tired than when I went to bed I was all run down generally continued to grow worse, although I had used Kidney medicine all the time.

My friends suggested that I try Kid- ne-oids, and I am glad I did, for the first few doses brought me immediate relief. Kid-ne-oids in my case have worked like a charm, for I am today free from all my former ailments and I feel my own self again." Morrow's Kid-ue-oids are truly a wonderful remedy for all forms of kidney disorders. For sale at all drug stores. Price fifty cents a box.
