A Bad ROn0.

A general complaint is male by the
residents of the upper end of White
Clay Creek Hundred of the condition in
which a piece of public road, leading
from Mechanicsville down to White
Clay Creek, is kept. The road is only
ABOUT mile long, Is much travelled
and is washed into gulleys in the mid
die almost preventing the passage Of
wagons and carriages. There is strong
talk that if the person who bought the
road to keep it in order, does not do
something soon, the law will be looked
up and its virtue and strength broughs
to bear upon the case.

~ Don't Want a Plaster!"

said a SILK man to a druggist, "cant
you give me something to cure me 2"
His symptoms were lame back and
disoriere, urine and We're a sure indi
cation of kidney disease. The drug
gist told him to use kidney-Wort and
in short time it etfected a complete
cure. Have you these symptoms ?
Then get bottle or box today-before
you become incurable. 1t is the cure;

Educated women.

Refined and educated women will
sometimes suffer in silence for years
from Kidney diseases, or constipation
and piles, which could easily be cured
by q package of kidney-Wort. There is

ELBERoN, Sept. Ito Lowell, London:
There has been no material change in
the Presidents condition during the
past twenty-fonr hour. He was moved
at his own request, this forenoon, from
his bed to an extension chair, in which
he remained for half an hour, and has
been less inclined to drowsiness during
the day than usual. The weather now
is very favorable, and the physicians
think they discover signs of a
slight Improvement in his symptoms.
They expect him to pass very comfor-

Center OF Population.

Ii Is interesting from several
points of view, to trace the center
Of population of the United States
from the east to the west, which
takes place each decade. The
geographical center of the country
is in northern Kansas, 4 little
nearer the western boundary line
than the eastern. But the produc-
ing power of the western part is
not equal 10 that Of the eastern;
consequently the meridian is To-
Gated somewhere near St. Louis.
The center of.populaIion has not
yet reached that point but is APP
preaching it rapidly. The thirty
ninth parallel divides the whole
area into two zones, which are
about equal in fertility. SO far
the center has kept very near its
original in its progress westward.
In 1890 it was near Baltimore.
Fifty years from time it moved to
a point twenty-five miles south of
Clarksburg, West Virginia. In
1850 it was twenty-five miles
south Of Harrisburg, and fifty-fve
miles from its last position. Ten
years later found it twenty miles
south Of Chillicothe in Ohio, or
eighty.two miles further west. In
1870 the center was forty-eight
miles northeast of Cincinnati, going
TO the north fifteen, which was an
entirely new departure. This was
during the war, but in 1880 it
veered back to the parallel and
was located in Kentucky, FIVE
miles west Of Covington and fifty
one miles west Of it, position in
1870. This is as near as it can be
ascertained until the census bureau
makes an accurate report.

For Old Iron.

Twenty-one years ago all New
York turned out TO see an iron
monster crawl up the Hudson and
cast out its huge claws into the
bottom of the river. This was the
steamship Great Eastern. which
now is offered at public auction on
the 1st of October. In spite of
its gigantic size it charmed the eye
by the beauty OF its lines. But it
has been from the beginning a
financial failure, and viii perhaps
end its career by being sold for
old iron. The Great Eastern,
however, has peculiar history of
its own that viii no doubt be given
after its funeral.

Comet Photo.

The comet was successfully pho
tographed by Prof. Henry Draper
at his observatory at Hastings, on
June 2Gth. Prof. Draper obtained
several negatives. The impress
sions will be made and pictures

throughout the world. The pro-
fessor Of the Dudley observatory
says the comet now visible is
neither the comet of 1912 nor
that of 1907, that it is one lately
seen by South American observers.

The President continues steadily

walls at the White house. The
president has not suffered much
from heat since Thursday. Ex-
periments are still being made
with a refrigerating apparatus IN
anticipation of the return Of hot

Gen. Hazen. He IS inspired with
the firm belief that he will live,
and to those who know him best
this fact is more encouraging than

SpOkan Fails.

Mrs. :. A. Dnniways letters 10
the New Northwest are certainly
very fine productions, descriptive
of the regions traversed. OF Spo-
kan and vicinity the lady SAYS:
"On the edge Of a broad, gravelly
prairie, adorned at intervals by
scattering trees, sits the embryo
city Of Spokan, It's site and sur
roundings resembling those of
Salem, Oregon, and It's atmosphere
reminding as of Mt. Idaho or Mos
COW. We confess a li;tle disap-
pointment on viewing the enyi-
rons Of the town; not that the
scenery is less magnificent than we
had been led to expect, but be-
cause We have travelled 50 MANY
leagues Of fertile land within the
past six weeks that she barren soil
looks doubly barren because of
the contrast. We expected a
larger town, too, but can hardly
tell why, unless it had been over
advertised by travelling or resi-
dent enthusiasts, who had drawn
upon their imaginations for their
facts. The scenery in the suburbs
of Spokan is exceedingly pictur-
esque. Gray rocks bubble up into
massive mounds, moss grown and
flower-bordered. Grassy ridges
roll away toward the mountains,
tree-capped and water-fed, and
the monotone OF the falls rises
ceaselessly upon the ear like the
rolling breakers on the distant
weather beach. Niagara falls donot
equal the falls of Spokan in beauty,
and they scarcely more than rival
them in grandeur. Niagara river
is larger than the Spokan, and the
torrents fall from a really greater
hight, though the difference is not
apparent. Spokan fails have all the
beauty Of Ladore and the majesty
of Niagara combined. The impulse
of the nearby mountains is in the
water as it comes tearing down
through the prairie gorge, and a
basaltic promontory juts out from
the banks in front of the embryo
city, parting itself into islands and
the stream into different channels,
forming many different cataracts,
ali frothing and foaming in their
eager haste TO get 10 the Columbia
river, and fretting and moaning
and fuming because Of the oppo-
sition they meet, in their anger
and hurry, sending up clouds Of
spray that battle the obdurate
rocks in torrents OF tears. How
we should enjoy ali this we're it
not for the unrest that continually
hounds us when away from home.
Unrest that never leaves us for an
instant except when in the lectare-
room, and often pursues us even
