BAY OF BAYSIDE ok-lic- or- of "Kidney Gold" "Mething will 'lay you up, 'lay you up, 'bit you to bed" quicker than a kidney cold. Thouands feel the first effect of colds in the kidneys; backache, rheumatism in pains, urinary disorders, retention of the urine, infrequent and too frequent urinary discharges tell of kidneys out of order. Dean's Kidney Pills cure all Kidney Ills from common backache to dangerous diabetes. A. T. Ritenour, owner of the wood yard at 125 East Cork street, Winchester, Va. says, "Ever since I had a gripe I have been a sufferer from kidney troubles, which made themselves apparent in racking pains through the region of the kidneys and across the small of my back. The pains were worse and more sharp and biting that they compelled me to take to my bed. The kidney secretions furnished further evidence of disorders. They were off color, irregular, and painful of passage. Added to this there was an annoying weakness. "The newspaper advertisements of Dona's Kidney Pills attracted my attention, and I procured a box of that remedy at Franck Baker & Sons' drug store. The relief I experienced was magical. The pills lifted me from my bed of sickness, placed me on my feet, and made me a well man. I was amazed by the strength of the Kidney Pills I believe, saved my life. They are a great remedy to stop kidney troubles resulting from colds." A FREE TRIAL of this great kidney medicine which cured Mr. Ritenour will be mailed on application to any part of the United States. Address Foster-Milburn Cs., Buffalo, N. Y.

The idea of object teaching, the foundation of the Froebel system of instruction, has in recent years met with general acceptance and adoption in almost every branch of education, which is beyond question. Even such subjects as grammar and arithmetic are now taught in this way so far as practicable, and with marked advance in the methods of teaching history by making pilgrimages to the very scenes where great historical events have occurred is an application of the same principle and much more reality of history upon the minds of the young than any amount of mere text-book instruction could be. A recent issue of the "Four-Track Series," published by the New York Central library, the historical sites in the immediate vicinity of New York, which will be of exceeding value for the guidance of teachers and others who desire to adopt this method of historical study. The great design of citizenship pride and promote good citizenship in this very direction, an increase of knowledge of local history be accompanied with an increase of interest in matters of local government, which affords the welfare and good name of the community.—From Leslie's Weekly.

Des Moines, April 2—When the quarterly bill for the care of the inheritors from Folk county at Mount Pleasant hospital is presented to the board of supervisors it will not be allowed. The board will take a decision in order to take the power of the state to enforce the payment of the bill. The board also has another card up its sleeve, and that is to let the people of the county know what the board is caring for these patients every quarter. Nearly $2,000 was expended for the care of Polk county inebriates during the summer. The bills come in this month, the figures will be practically the same. At this rate, when it is taken into consideration the cost of transporting the alcohol to the polk county other fees that arise in connection with the matter, the bill will run up for the year so that it will amount to the total worth of $10,000, or perhaps more. County Auditor Cope in taking over the matter yesterday afternoon stated that the money to pay for these inns would fund, and that in this county amounts to about $11,000 a year, coming from a 1/2 of $1 mill. "The board cannot continue paying for the insane and the inns enough money," said Mr. Cope. "Either the levy must be increased to 1/2 mills or else the inns will have to be paid for by the state or the insane." It was determined Twenty-ninth general assembly passed a law making the payment for the care of inns come out of the insane fund, and it was since that law have been sent to Mount Pleasant in such numbers. The board has been investigating the matter, and they are determined that they will not bear the levy. The board will be presented at the next meeting of the board it will simply be laid on the shelf, and then the board will lay back and see what the state can do with the money. The supervisors have said they are in favor of increasing the insane tax for this cause, and furthermore, if there is any way out of the matter they have the inns the leibrate business cut down." MILWAUKEE SUITS SETTLED. Brought in Befehl of Victims of Wreck Marshallown, April 2.—The damage cases brought against the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul Railroad were the most of the terrible wreck at Rhodes last summer have been settled in the federal court at Cadrup乳胶 by the payment of $1,000. The suits argue $90,000 for the damage in behalf of the estates of nine victims of the wreck, $10,000 being asked in each case. The estate of Henry Jackson Richardson, whose relatives were involved, gets $2,500. Patrick Sullivan, Mike Doyle, L. Bingham, John Allen, Mike Flynn, Thomas Casay and Frank R. Ray are settled for $1,125 each, and the cases are settled for $1,000, is allowed the sum of $875. It is not likely the heirs will ever be found in the majority of the cases, and the cases and administrators' fees, will revert to the school fund of the state. The Rhodes wreck was one of the worst that ever occurred on the road, ten men being killed as a result and forty others were badly injured. Murder or Suicide. Belle Plaine, April 1—With his throat cut from ear to ear, his head crushed and his leg broken, the body was thrown across the side of the tracks in the Northwestern yards here. It is believed he was murdered, probably by tramps on a Northwestern train and the body was placed through the city. The coroner's verdict declares the man was murdered, and there seems to be little doubt that he was killed. The difference of opinion, however, and a persons are inclined to believe the man committed suicide. The circumstances, however, are against the suicide theory. Fat Man's Race Caused Death. Fat Man's race was killed at the Samaritan hospital in this city yesterday morning as the result of over-exertion in participating in a "fat man's race."

Grinnell, April 1—The trustees of Iowa college today voted to accept the $50,000 offered by Andrew Carnegie for a new library, and plans will be accured at once. Mr. Carnegie imposed two conditions.

Democrate from all over the state were in attendance at the Jeffersonian banquet at the Savory house last night. The banquet was attended by W. J. Bryan and Adal E. Stevenson, who made addresses. The address of Mr. Stevenson was devoted to a speech in factum harming the party, while Mr. Bryan declared that there could be no harmony that meant the surrender of principles and no alliance with the enemy. The sympathies are with the plutocratic element. Addresses were also made by General J. B Weaver; who came from Louisiana to be present; J. J. Shoe, of New York, to be present; Sullivan to the national committee; Judge A. Van Wageman, of Sloux县; and O. P. Myers, of Newton, W. R. Hearlor, of New York, and O. P. Myers, of Newton, secretary of the national committee, grappling their inability to be in attendance. G. F. Rinchart, of Newton, was tostmaster. During the afternoon the Kansas City police officers effected an organization. An address was made by Mr. Bryan, whose remarks regarding the bottles of 1896 and 1900 were loudly applauded. The organization mapped out by Mr. Rinchart was to select a chairman for each district, these chairmen in turn to name county chairmen, and to organize by electing state officers. The county chairmen in turn to organize the townships and precincts. First—E. H. Rockwell of Farmington. Second— Third—M. E. Lyons of Dubuque. Fourth—D. Dovore of Evanston. Fifth—John Hobbs of Marshalltown. Sixth-G. F. Rinchah of Newton. Sixth-H. C. Evans of Des Moines. Eighth—E. J. Sankey of Leon Ninth- J. J. Shea of Council Bluffs Ninth- P. H. Donlon of Emmettsburg Eleventh—Earl Bronson of Spencer. The district chairman then met an organizer, selecting him for the district organization. He was authorized to select a secretary, and as it was thought wise to have the head officers in the same town or close to them, the officers of Newton was made treasurer. * Each district committeeman was authorized to appoint a chairman for each county and report to the state commissioner. A afternoon meeting $55 was raised as a nucleus for a campaign fund, and at the banquet in the evening a much larger sum was raised so that the committee had a hundred dollars in the treasury. Disscussing the movement of the Kansas City platform forces to organize, following the conference, Mr. Bryan said the same policy of organization was being carried on throughout the country. He said a number of states had already started along with many localities indicated that organization was being carried on with enthusiasm.

SAYS TARIFF IS NOT SACRED But He Holds It Better to Endure Some Faults Than Destroy By Tinkering-Expression Regarded as that of the Administration. Boston, April 3- -Ellluh Root, secretary of war, and as secretary Henry C. Browning, Massachusetts, were the guests of honor and the principal speakers last night at the annual dinner of the Home Market club, the representative republican organization of Washington, the occasion was of signal interest because last night the speeches of Secretary Root and Senator Lodge were regarded particularly at Washington on the anticipated issues of the next national campaign. Secretary Root spoke on the tariff and Mr. Lodge on the question of the war. The American soldiers made against the American soldiers in the Philippines. Secretary Root said in part: "I remember hearing Mr. Tilden say that if you put a hundred men in a room and made any proposition whatsoever, you would be one of the hundred would dispute it. "Reducing this saying to its lowest degree of one in a hundred we must make sure that no one of the people of the United States in whose eyes eyes everything that is done is wrong, and whatever is being done ought to be done, or ought to be others." "This useful but trying class of our fellow citizens has recently turned its attention to the existing protective tariff, which had been a free trade country they would have been protectionists. As we have long been a protectionist country they are free traders. To them the tariff is a democratic party, who desire a change of administration and who demand what they call a revision of the protective tariff, but which they easily approve. The protective tariff. Along with them go, to some extent, certain good men and true men who urge a real revision of the tariff, which they believe will be better protective tariff than it is now. In speaking of the true nature and necessary effect of the proceedings which these citizens wish congress to take, the secretary said she assumed first that the principle of protection of the people of the United States are now enjoying a period of extraordinary prosperity and that they don't want that prosperity to end. "The question is not whether under some other law we might or might not have become prosperous, or whether we should not in the future attain prosperity. It is that the prosperity we have now today is the prosperity of productive enterprise which has adjusted itself to the conditions that this Dingley law has created, and the stability of the government is vital to the continuance of this present period of prosperity. "There is no fetish in the tariff schedules and no sacriestness in particular rates of duty. If through original error of changes of conditions the protections of the country, then at the proper time and in the proper way a sensible people will change the law. If a law is working well as a whole, common sense requires that we endure some protections, though they are rather than destroy the general good effect by constant tinkering." Speaking of the cry for revision of the tariff as being the protector of trusts, Secretary Root said we cannot tolerate the tariff unless we are ready to reduce the duties in the classes of manufacture in which the so-called trusts are engaged—that is to say, in all the principal kinds of manufacture—to such an extent and to all Ameri- can manufacture. "In each class," said the secretary, "the trust is the strongest and if duties are lowered below the point of adequate protection, the independent body is the strongest and it is impossible that reduction of duties should wipe out trusts except as it wiped out American manufacture. When that happens, free trade and protectionist alike will have to be undertaken for domestic trusts, and the prosperity of foreign workmen for the prosperity of American workmen. The question is whether there are really existing evils to be cured as great as the evils to be endured from the long and difficult process of revision. In conclusion the secretary said: "I dictate what and how that process shall be undertaken and cardinal rules should be observed." "First, it should be done only when congress is as free as possible from the distractions and temptations of an election campaign. When congress settles down to attend to business it is a very wise complete and effective body. When it is playing politics it contributes more of brilliance to the impending campaign."

"The second rule to be followed is expressed the oft-repeated way that tariff should be made by friends. If the American people are ready to abandon the principle of protection and face a crash and downfall of our present prosperity, which would immediately result, then they should hand the revision over to the legislative party, and that is revise the tariff in order to destroy the trusts. What they really mean is abandon the principle of protection in order to destroy the trusts, make the American producers take their hand on an equal footing with farm competition." THE PRESIDENT AT CHICAGO. Talks of Monroe Doctrine and Our Position in Western Hemisphere. Chicago, April 3—Six thousand people, in a hall the seating capacity of which is but 5,000, gave enthusiastic greeting to President Roosevelt, when he stepped upon the stage of the Auditorium last night. The great building has held many a throng, but never one that was more hearty and unstinted in its applause, and man than the crowd, was filled it last night. From the first floor to the roof it was packed to its utmost with the The address of the president dealt with the Monroe doctrine and the position of the United States in Western Hemisphere. He said in past. "Ever since the time when we definitely extended our boundaries westward to the Pacific and southward to the Gulf, since the time of the old Spanish and French colonies to our asserted their independence our nation has insisted that because of its primacy in strength among the nations of any hemisphere it must maintain duties and a leading role which oblige it to take a leading, part thereon. We hold that our interests in this hemisphere are greater than those of any European power possibly can and that we rebel wreepers who are our neighbors require us to see that none of the great military powers from across the seas shall encroach upon the territory of our republics or control thereover. "This policy, therefore, not only forbids us to acquiesce in such territorial acquisition, but also causes us to obey the laws of the territory in which would in its effect be equal to territorial aggrandizement. This is why the United States has steadily believed that the construction of the nation of the United States of which is to stand as the greatest material feat of the twentieth century—greater than any similar feat in any preceding century—should be on no foreign nation but by our solves. The president here referred to the different steps taken to secure the canal, and then discussed the course of the Venezuelan question, asserting that both Germany and Great Britain assured us to treat that not the slightest intention on our part to violate ...e principles of the Monroe doctrine, and this assurance was kept with an honorable full acknowledgment on our part". "The Monroe doctrine," he declared, "is not international law, and though I think one day it may become such, this is not necessary as long as it remains a cardinal feature of our foreign policy. We possess both the will and the strength to make it effective. This last point, my fellow citizens, is all important, and is one which as a people we can never afford to forget. I believe in the Monroe doctrine with all confidence, and I am convinced that the immense majority of our fellow country men so believe in it; but I would infinitely prefer to see us abandon it than to see us put it forward and bluster about it, and yet fail to build up the efficient fighting strength that we must last resort can possess. I respect it to possess foreign power whose interest it may ever happen to be to violate it. "Boasting and blustering are as objectionable among nations as among individuals, and the public men of a great nation owe it to their sense of duty to protect us, usually of foreign powers just as a brave and self-respecting man treats all around him courteously. But though to boast is bad, and causelessly to insult another, worse; yet we must insult the powers of war, boasting, even without insult, and when called to the proof to be unable to make such boasting good!" In conclusion the president said: "We wish a powerful and efficient army, the powers of war, but as the surest guardian of life, if we have such a navy—if we keep on building it up—we may rest assurance that there is but the smallest chance that trouble will ever come to this nation; and we may likewise be sure of foreign power will ever quarrel with us about the Monroe doctrine." In his "Random Reminiscences," Charles H. E. Brookfield says that his great uncle, Henry Hallam, the historian, was invited by Tennyson to be Hallam, readily consented. As they walk up the church-yard, side by side, the historian inquired of Tennyson: "What name do you mean to him Hallam?" He thought of calling you not better call him Alfred." He easily suggested the historian. "Ayo!" replied the bard, "but if you should turn out a fool!" The farmers of Indiana, when fuel is scarce, cook an egg without fire.

It will be remembered that some time ago the particulars of Mr. Remers' case were published in these columns. He had been very low with Diabetes. Physicians could do nothing to save him and he grew worse and worse till he died. Dodd's Kidney Hill. A treatment of this remedy was begun and when eight boxes were been taken Mr. Remers came to see an improvement, which continued as the treatment proceeded till he was completely restored. He has since enjoyed perfect health and is as robust and able a man as any in Lancaster. Interviewed the other day he said: "Many people wrote to me when the story of my case was first printed and some write to me yet asking if the cure was only temporary. I have only one answer to everybody. Three years ago he was low with diabetes. The best physicians failed to help me and Dodd's Kidney Pills cured me. I am well and strong and have not had the slightest return of the old trouble." Gossip is a deadly gas that frequently puts friendship out of business.

WOMANS GENTLE NATURE CALLS FOR GENTLE TREATMENT Delicately formed and gently reared, women will find, in all the seasons of their lives, as maidens, wives, or moth- ers, that the one simple, wholesome remedy which acts gently and pleasantly and naturally, and which may be used with truly beneficial effects, under any conditions, when the system needs a laxative, is—Syrup of Figs. It is well known to be a simple combination of the laxative and carminative principles of plants with pleasant, aro- matic liquids, which are agreeable and refreshing to the taste and acceptable to the system when its gentle cleansing is desired. Many of the lilies which from women suffer are of a transient nature and do not come from any organic trouble and it is pleasant to know that they yield so promptly to the beneficial effects of Syrup of Figs, but when anything more than a laxative is needed it is best to consult the family physician and to avoid the old-time cathartics and loudly advertised nocturnes of the present day. When one needs only to remove the strain, the torpor, the congestion, or similar lilies, which attend upon a constipated condition of the system, use the true and gentle remedy—Syrup of Figs—and enjoy freedom from the depression, the aches and pains, colds and headaches, which are due to inactivity of the bowels. Only those who buy the genuine Syrup of Figs can hope to get its beneficial effects and as a guarantee of the excellence of the remedy the full name of the company—California Fig Syrup Co. is printed on the front of every package and without it any preparation offered as Syrup of Figs is fraudulent and should be declined. To those who know the quality of this excellent laxative, the offer of any substitute, when Syrup of Figs is called for, is always resented by a transfer of patronage to some first-class drug establishment, where they do not recommend, nor sell false brands, nor imitation remedies. The genuine article may be bought of all reliable druggers everywhere at 50 cents per bottle. CALIFORNIA FIGSYRVP b Mrs. Laura L.

Pinkham's Vegetable Compound was used faithfully. For young women who are subject to the severe strain of the flu, a fever, and nervous attacks due to the severe strain on the system by some organic trouble, and for women of advanced years in the most trying time of life, serves to correct every action of all organs of the body. "Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound is a household reliance in my home, and I would not be without it.

The ball and banquet at Turner hall, Rock Island, the 18th was indeed a swell affair. The ladies in attendance were handsomely gowned and the music the most enticing, which lent such a charm to the occasion. The members of this Big Four Pleasure club are winning quite a reputation for themselves on giving the most select dancing parties and are to be congratulated. Mrs. L. Harts of Moline is not improving as fast as her many friends would like. The family have the true sympathy of the community. Mrs. Mary Louise Holmes, aged 53 years, died on Sunday at her home on Twelfth street, Rock Island, of consumption. She is survived by seven children. The funeral was held at 2 p. m.

Strong, private secretary to exCongressman Hawley of Texas, is credited with being the clearestest female politician ever seen in Washington. She is conversant with every county in Texas, knows every man of prominence in the state and attends to nearly all details of federal patronage there. It is related of her that she once went to see a cabinet officer in regard to a place for a Texas constituent. The official was not disposed to give the place to her applicant, but in a pleasant and courteous manner said: "I am sorry to disappoint you after looking into such pretty brown eyes." "It seems to me then," was the quick answer, "that the ayes ought to have it." The cabinet officer was so pleased with the retort that he made the appointment. The spirits of a young man were considerably dampened on a recent Sunday evening while he was out walking with a young lady. The evening was rather cool, and the girl was very lightly clothed, so, thinking to add to her comfort, the young man took off his coat and placed it about her shoulders. As they walked along he kept thinking of his gallantry, liking himself to d'Artagnan, Sir Wale Raleigh and various other cavaliers, until he heard a passing woman say to her companion: "Him. That's all we're good for—to have men hang their coats and bate on us." DES MOINES PASSENGER TRAINS C. R. I & P. GOING EAST ARRIVE 10 05 pm ..... Chicago Limited ..... 10 10 pm 4 30 pm .....
