Gillett Denies Rumors

Indicate that rumors are prevalent
Head Ache
Sometimes?
If so, it will interest you to
know that it can be stopped
■with Dr. Miles' Anti-Pain Pills ;
and without any bad after-
effects, and this without dan-
ger of forming a drug habit or
having your stomach disar-
ranged. They positively con-
tain^no opium, morphine, co-
caine, chloral, ether or chloro-
form in any form. Dr. Miles'
Anti-Pain Pills relieve pain,
and leave only a sense of relief.
The reason for this is explained
by the fact that headache comes
from tired, irritable, turbulent,
over-taxed brain nerves. Anti-
Pain Pills soothe and strength-
en these nerves, thus removing
the cause. They are harmless
when taken as directed,
"We use Dr. Miles" Antl-Paln Pills
for the cure of headache, and we
think that there Is nothing that will
equal them. They will cure th«
severest spell fit nervous or alck
headache in a very few minute*. I
am of a nervouß temperament, and
occaalonally have spells when my
nerves seem to be completely exhaust-
ed, and I tremble ao I can scarcely'
contain myself. At these times I al-
ways take the Antl-Paln Pills, and
they quiet me right away, It la re-
markable what a soothing effect they
have upon the nerves."

BUSINESS CORNER
SOLD AT $155.000
CONTINUED ACTIVITY ON WEST
SEVENTH STREET
More Options on Bualnett Frontage
Along South Broadway— New Ma.
Jettlo Theater May Be Erected
on Vogel Corner
Another bis; denl In close-In business
property on West Seventh street was
closed yesterday through negotiations
conducted by W. B. Merwln and R. A.
Rowan & Co. The property is the lot
on the southeast corner of Seventh and
Olive streets, 62x133 feet to alley, sold
by August Schmidt to Albert Bradley;
consideration, $166,000. The lot Is Im
proved with a two-story brick, occu
pied by business firms. The frontage
value Is close to $3000 a foot. Those who
kept In touch with the trend of busl
nrss expansion state that the property
is a bargain at the price.
Syndicates Are Active
Business frontage down Broadway
and just what big firms will get the
few choice corners that are left nrc
points of live gossip among real estHte
operators mid certain captains In com
mercial circles.
Managers of many of the larger
stores now nicely located appear in
different as to rumors nbout the estab
lishment of new business houses along
the popular shopping thoroughfare, but
they keep in touch with all trade move
ments just the same.
Option on More Frontage
It became known yesterday that an
option has been secured on 120 feet
frontage on the west side of Broadway,
adjoining the Vogel block on the south,
between Seventh nnd Eighth streets.
This frontage Is gilt-edged and will
doubtless be sold before the expiration
of the option.
The option on the Hotel Palms prop
erty, together with adjoining frontage
sou»h, between Sixth and Seventh
streets, west side of Broadway, Is silll
held by a real estate firm. The repre
sentative of the Saulte Ste. Marie, Mich.,
firm, who has been figuring on uslnct
the Hotel Palms lot as the site for
a big department store, has returned
from n trip oast. Is is understood that
the eastern company regards L.os An
geles as a very inviting field to engage
In business on an extensive scale. So
far as known the eastern people have
no intention of applying for a lease
on the new Tehama block. The Hotel
Palms frontage will afford "the firm a
frontage on Hill street, provided thpy
can purchase the Y. M. C. A. lot at the
rear and frontage on Hill street.
There was considerable gossip cur
rent yesterday about the possible pur
chase of the Vogel corner as a site
for the proposed' Majestic theater, an
Improvement that was planned and
temporarily abandoned about a year
ago.
Change of Location
The Montgomery Bros., jewelers, In
the Douglas block on Spring street,
have secured a long lease on the ground
floor of the Orant building, corner of
Fourth and Broadway, and will take
possession ln the near future.
The N. B. Blackstone Dry Goods
company will vacate their present
quarters in the Douglas block and take
possession of the new Johnson building
011 Ihe east Side of Broadway, below
Fourth street, when the structure is
completed. ,
/ Sold Floral Park Tract

wald sold to a San Francisco syndicate
at the head of which Is E. W. Hewlett,

as 'Floral Park;" consideration, $190,
000.
This tract consists of 572 acres di
vided into villa lota fronting on wide
streets and broad boulevards, in one
of the most sightly localities adjacent
to the city.

cluding ornamental parks and parked
streets, and a mammoth tourist hotel
will bo constructed in one of the most
sightly portions of the tract. In addi
tion to the hotel lot and grounds there
will be more than 500 large lots, most
desirable for home sites.
CHOSEN FOR PERILOUS RIDE
Engineers Will Drive Two Monster
Locomotives to Their Destruc
tion Next Monday
From among all those who answered
the lure of exciting adventure two men
have at last been chosen to drive the
locomotives which will be sent into the
collision at Agricultural park next Mon
day afternoon. These men are J. E.
Stencer, whose reputation as one of the
most courageous and at the same time
competent engineers on the Salt Lake
railroad led to his. selection, and P. 11.
Raymond, whose run is from Needles
to Los Angeies, hauling the Overland
express.
Both declare they will stay by the
throttles of the two engines until they
are almost upon each other and going
forty miles an hour.
Mr. Stencer has been railroading
many years. He was with the Union
Pacific until two years ago, when he
went to Salt Lake and had an engine
running over the Yellowstone division
when buffalo herds still roamed the
plains and were a constant source of
danger to engineers who had night
runs.
Mr. Raymond has had all sorts of ex
periences with washouts among the
New Mexican and Arizona, canyons and
avalanches and wrecked snowsheds in
the Rockies. And both men have many
times been In tight places from which
they rescued themselves only by their
quick wits and courage.
A public exhibition of the two loco
tlves in operation will be Riven at the
park Sunday afternoon, and on Monday
Donatelli's band of 100 pieces will fur
nish the musical preliminaries to the
selnsatlonal show— the collision.
PROSECUTOR WILL
INVESTIGATE QUARREL
On Wednesday Mrs. Marcus Harris,
living at 1840 Fremont avenue, com
plained to Assistant City Prosecutor
KdUle that her husband was starving
her and the children.
Mr. Eddie issued a warrant, charg
ing the husband with non-support.
Yesterday Marcus Harris appeared in
the office of the city prosecutor and
declared that as a matter of fact he
had been driven from home by his
wife.
He said he provided well for his wife
and children. The family quarrel will
be closely Investigated by Mr. Eddie.
Three days from today, locomotive
collision at Agricultural park.
