Mr. 13. O. Bailey, of 203 Perry street, •says: "I told the people of CrawfordsTille through the newspapers in 18117, that I was cured of severe kidney trouble by Doan's Kidney Fills procured at MolTett & Morgan's drug store. I was so lame and sore across ray ck and up through my shoulder that, I could not bund without holding on to a something to steady myself. The kidney secretions were also irregular and unnatural. Now in the month of January 1901. over four years since, I have no reason to retract one word of my statement, but on the contrary recommend

Rkpcislic or empire, which?

Wl'.i,i the empire is here. Are you "a baron or a vassal?

OUH naval station in the. Philippines will be at Subig Bay, thirty miles north of Manila. The harbor is deeper and generally better than that at Manila, and our Philippine licet of fiftyships will tind ample room there for docking and repairs.

ViGO county has always had the reputation for bloody and dastardly murders, and since the recent lynching there it develops that she has not hung a murderer for over thirty years. Possibly this shameful immunity and the lynching sustain the relationship of cause and effect.

The edicts of confiscation against the property of Democrats will probably not reach here before the middle of the month, as Kmperor McKinley will be busy for tho first few days getting used to his crown. While waiting, however, faithful Republicans might prolitably pass the time picking out good likely Democrats they may wish to claim as serfs.

Thk death of Garcia a year or two ago was a calamity to the Cubans. He was one of the islanders who knew the obligations his countrymen were under to the Americans, and he frequently and conspicuously called the attention of the Cubans to them. However, the Garcia view has yet a chance to assert itself. The conservatives will have the floor soon in the i.-land.

The forest lanes of the Philippine Islands, it is estimated by Captain Abern, cover 40,000,000 acres larger in extent and greater in value than the forests of I ndia. There are 3i~ species of timber-producing trees, and about 50 more species as yet unclassified. In eluded in the above list are very hard woods,, cajiable of taking a beautiful polish woods that resist climatic influences and the attack .•" white ants still other that are especially suited for sea-piling or 'or»use as railroad ties. There are many -varieties of trees producing valuable^giuns, oils, anil drugs: rubber and gutta-percha are abundant irt Mindanao and Tawi-Tawi while at least seventeen dye-woods are found within the limits the Archipelago. Cocoanut palms grow without care or cultivation} ^throughout the islands, are also many varieties of palms, bamboo, canes, and rattan which are of commercial value and will afford profitable employment to native labor.

TIIH SAMK STOHY,

William E. Curtis, the famous newspaper correspondent, says: "History is repeating it-self in the Philippine leg islation except that the position of the two political 'parties has been exactlyreversed. Ninety-eight years ago the congress of the United States, upon the recommendation of Thomas Jefferson, passed a law conferring despotic powers upon the President similar to those involved in the Spooner amendment to the army bill that was adopted las-t night. The Democrats there held both houses of congress by ij irities even larger than the Republicans have today, and by Jefferson's instructions the bill giving»him the same authority over the newly acqired Louisiana territory that the Spanish governor has exercised was passed under a gag law or. as he expressed it, "sub silenuo. In other words as was the case with the

Philippine legislation, the opponents of the administration were permitted to do all the talking. They pounded away to the best of their ability, just as Morgan. CaiTery, Turner. Bacon, and the other Democrats have done. They invoked the constitution, denounced the President as a tyrant and a usurper, and predicted that the country would come to ruin because of tl,3 imperialistic ambition of the executive, but the Democrats did not deign to reply. Mr. Jefferson had strictly imposed silence and assured his followers that the people would justify their acts, although the constitution did not authorize them. "The Spooner resolution is almost a copy of the Jefferson resolution, which was offered in the house by John Randolph, of Roanoake, then the mouthpiece of the administration."

WASHINGTON

Post: Senator Bcv-

eridge, it wiii be recalled, during the campaign of 1900 occupied practically the same position (on the Cuban question) which the senate has now taken, and we may say that he fortified it with a courage and a candor that cannot be too highly commended. He was criticized in certain quarters for saying in plain terms what everybody familiar with the Cuban conditions knew in their hearts to be true, but which, for expediencey's sake, few dared indorse. It is the popular attitude to day, for sooner or later public opinion alligns itself with common sense. -v

Will Begin in Mny.

The Poston brick company is preparing i,o begin the construction of its buildings just as soon as the ground thaws out and tlio work will be rushed. The machinery will all be here in April and it is now thought that the factory will be in operation by early in May. At first only about fifty men will be employed but if the factory shows up to the tests and the sanguine expectations of its owner?, the number of employes will be doubled in a short time.

Jack Was Asleep.

Indianapolis JS'cw.s: The friends of John Widdup, of Ladoga, as assistant iliiui'keeper of the house, were consid erably alarmed last night over his sudden disappearance and for a time there was talk of asking the police to assist in finding him. It was discovered, however, that he had dropped asleep in the house and was locked in. lie was finally discovered.

Late in the afternoon the commissioners unanimously sustained the remonstrance which was against A. L. Courtney. The remonstrators had a majority Of 53.

On Saturday the word was telephoned from Waynetown that Wm. Moffait, a brother of Dr. Thomas Moffett of this city, had died there. This iniorma tion was given to the papers and sopublished. Sunday morning, however, it was ascertained that it was not Mr. Moffett who had died, but his wife. The funeral tO'ik place Sunday.

A Change in Office.

Fire at Koinney.

Last week at Rumney the genera store of George Michaels was completely destroyed by lire. The lire could be seen from thi&city and was supposed by some to be the cellulose plant at Linden Andy Clements had $1,700 insurance on the building and stock.

A Handsome Gain.

In February of last year the receipts at the postollice frnm the sale of stamps amounted to $1,108, while the receipts this year amounted to $1,632, again of neai-ly sixteen per cent. The sales last year were considered then to be remarkably large.

This will be an exhibit of wheat grown in American soil. Exhibits will be shown from the different wheat states, and I believe that it is a de.-.irable thing that Indiana should be represented in the exhibit. I wish to recommend to Indiana farmers who are interested, especially our wheat growers, that they send a package of three pounds of each variety they may have of seed to J. F. Mueller. 1:2 Pacific avenue, Chicago, 111., prepaying express charges. The name of the wheat should be given in each case, the name of the grower and his pos-oflice address. Arrangements have been made by the Fraternity of Operative Millers to have each sample thoroughly tested free of charge. Later a report will be published in the 0/ er«live Miller, which will show the amount' of bran and flour and quality of lluur and the chemical ai.aly.~cs of the wheat, "Samples of other cereals, such as! co at a a re a so sired. This exhibit, is to be in Milwau-1 kee the first, wee* in June, and it will be an excellent opportunity for Indiana grain growers to show the character of the grain they produce, and I wish to a re a pie contribute samples of their wheat 1 for this exhibition. "C. S. Plumb, "Director Indiana Agricultural Expei iment Station."

ITCH iS TORTURE.

Eczema is caused by an acid humor in the blood corning in contact with the skin and producing great redness and inflammation little pustular eruptions form and discharge a thin, sticky fluid, which drie9 and scales off sometimes the skin is hard, dry and fissured. Eczema in any form is a tormenting, stubborn disease, and the itching and burning at times are .almost unbearable the acid burning humor seems to ooze out and set the skin on fire. Salves, washes nor other external applications do any real good, for as long as the poison remains in the blood it will keep the skin irritated. BAD FORM OF TETTER. "For three years I had Tetter on my bands, wlilch caused them to swell to twice their natural size. Part of the time the disease was in the form of running sores, very painful, and causing me much discom fo-t. Four doctors said th. Tetter had progressed iou ."ar to be cured, and they could do nothing for me. I took only three bottles of S. S. S. and was completely cured. This was fifteen years ago, nnd 1 have never since seen any sign of my old trouble." —MRS. Iv. B. JACKSON, 1414 McGee St., Kansas City, Mo.
