IS IT GOOD

Many people have asked this question, many are asking it now, because they know they need Spring Tonic and Blood Purifier, and want the best. To any such we can positively answer and truthfully that our DANDELIoN COMPOUND is the best blood purifier, tonic and alternative now known. The reasons are that in com position it is entirely vegetable, it's ingre- dients are all carefully selected, it is made on the most approved scientific principles, and is in all respects perfectly reliable, safe, and meritorious production x
 We know of many who are now using it with decided benefit, and to their own en- tire satisfaction, but we have yet to hear of one case where it has failed to do all and exactly that which we claim for it. We neither admire nor use sensational ad- vertising, but aim to state the exact truth.

The United States Navy.

At the present rate of progress we shall soon have a respectable showing among the navies of the world. With in the last few months work has been very brisk in the navyyards and sev- eral large warships are now under way. The fast cruiser Raleigh was launched at Norfolk few days ago. The Cincin- nati, her companion ship,is on the ways at the Brooklyn navy yard, where the big warvessel Maine is also approach ing completion. The New York, an powerful ship of her class in the world, is receiving the finishing touches at Philadelphia, and the navy department at Washington has begun the prepara- tion of plans for another of the same kind and class, and for number of oth- CTS, including a battleship. torpedo cruiser and a ight-draught vessel for coast work.
 The new navy now consists of forty vessels, of which fifteen are in commis- sion and ready for service at any time. They are the Chicago, Boston, Atlanta, Charleston, Baltimore, Newark, Phila- delphia and San Francisco, all protected cruisers; the Dolphin, dispatch boat; the Yorktown, Petrel, Concord and Ben. nington, gunboats; the vesuvius, dyna. mite cruiser, and the Cushing, torpedo boat. The double-turreted monitor Miantonomah, at the Brooklyn navy yard, is also ready for duty at short notice. Among the remaining vessels of the new navy are the armored cruiser Maine, the battleship Texas, the double turreted monitors Puritan and Monad nook, the latter the samc as the Milan tonomah; the coast defense steame, Monterey, one of the greatest fighting engines of the day; the coast line battle ships, Indiana, Massachusetts and Ore gon, all of great fighting capacity, and 8 harbor defense ram, besides additiona, cruisers, torpedo boats and practice yes sells. Most of these will be finished within few months. The plans do mol contemplate a big navy, but when com pleted they will provide very efficient one.

E.rnc1ifHln E.nnd.

Irrirataon is rapidly increasing tho productive acreage of land in the United States, but there yet remains and will remain for many years to come vast tracts of barren territory. According to an interesting article on this subject in Fire and Water our total area is about 4,OOO, 900 square miles Take away the surface of the lakes and there would remain a land area of 2,295, ,00O,- 900 acres. If the whole were divided among our present people every family in the United States would have more than Q 160-acre farm. A large part of the best lands have already been taken up by settlers, but in the far future the great deserts of Colorado, Arizona, New Mexico and other western states will be brought under cultivation.
 Irrigation is being carried on by va- rious methods. One plan is by boring artesian wells. the success of which de- pends on the volume of water flowing from them Another is the construc- ton of large reservoirs in which the surplus of water that falls during the rainy season may be stored, and in dry weather conducted over the land in ditches At some points, where great natural basins may be utilized, these reservoirs can be provided at a moder- ate outlay; in other cases the expense would be large. In many instances mountain streams, fed by springs, have been diverted into artificial channels and carried over considerable tracts of land.
 California has taken the lead in irri- gation. In that state it pays. Large areas which in their arid condition could not be sold for more than from $1 to $5 an acre, have been made so pro- ductive that they are worth from $2OO to $1, ,oO0 per acre. Irrigation has added millions upon millions to the wealth of California In many places complete water-works establishments owned by corporations are supplying water for ir- rigation at a cost of from $1.25 to $1.6O per acre for the season. This is not a great cost for orchards, vineyards and grain lands, and farmers are getting rich through the help of the system. The irrigated lands of California are estima- ted at s,5OO,OOO acres. Irrigation has cost S2e, ,oOO, ,OOO, and has increased the value of the land $500, 100000.
 These figures show that agriculture may be regarded as still almost in it's infancy in a large section of the coun- try, and especially in the states and territories beyond the Mississippi IT. rigation will yet bring every tillable acre under cultivation, and when the favorite lands are exhausted the noun. tain sides will be climbed, the morasses drained and sandy plains fertilized The draining of the everglades of Flor ida and their transformation into rich sugar plantations and orchards of trop cal fruit afford an instance of what can be done by genius, energy and capital Twenty generations hence the full ca.
 pacity of this great country for the sup port of man will not yet be put to it utmost test.

He Thinks the Relay Bicycle Race Has
 Demonstrated His Theories.
 CHICAGO, May 24.-'Tt is an important achievement, said Gen. Miles, speaking of the relay riders and their stubborn fight through the mud of five States. The fact that the message did not arrive in New York within schedule time was no surprise to him.
 ''The trip was remarkable succ ess, !" said he. ''This experimental ride has established the fact that the bicycle would be of practical service in the army and it has also been of service in calling attention to the wretched condi- tion of the public highways in commu- mites that profess to be tolerably well civilized The matter of good roads should receive more attention than it has been given"
 'Does the success of the experiment prove anything as to the use of the bi- cycle in the army?'
 ''IG confirms me in the belief that the bicycle will be extensively used and that very soon. The wheelman can travel faster than the horseman, he makes no noise, does not form as large 8 target for the enemy and even if he cannot go in some places where the horse man can in more instances he can go where no horse could follow.
 ''The bicycle will certainly be used in the army. I would not advise the use of the lightweight speeding machines, as I notice that some of them broke down under the hard travel. A stout wheel of medium weight would be re- ouiro1

THE police should see to it that the disgraceful scene enacted in the Salva- tion army barracks last night is not re- peated. We may not approve of the methods of the army, but it should not be forgotten that they have some rights under the constitution that should be respected. So long as they deport themselves in an orderly way they should be allowed to carry on their peculiar exercises in peace. The riot act should be read to the hoodlums who seem determined upon breaking up the meetings of the army.

FOLLOWED HER CHILD
A Mothers Long Chase After a
 Kidnapper.
ERoM TIE To TIE ovER A TREsTLE

The Futile Pursuit of Mrs. John Hayes, O
 Elizabeth, N. J., Whose Husband StoIs
 Their ChIld--No Redress for the Wronget
 Woman.
 ELIZABETH, N. J., May 24.-Mrs. John Hayes, whose child was Kidnapped by her husband Sunday, is nearly frantic over her loss. There is much sympathy for the mother, and not a little excite ment over the affair.
 Hayes, who now resides iu Rondout, N. Y., has not lived %with his wife for . year. He called at her fathers house during her absence, and, seizing the child, who was playing in the kitchen, hastened with it to John Arnold's boat house, few blocks distant, and hired 6 rowboat to take him across the Kills to New York State.
 Mrs. Hayes returned home just in time to pursue him and catch him at the water front. She tried to wrest the child away from him, but was unable to do SO, and then she threw the oars into the water and warned MT. Arnold not to help her husband in his attempt.
 Arnold refused to let Hayes have a boat.
 Hayes then started with the child for 
 ark Bay from Elizabeth to Bergen Point. His wife followed him along Front street, but failed to meet any policeman to aid her to recover the child. She followed Hayes a mile to the bridge, and then crossed it behind him, although it ii about a mile long, and rain storm had set in. There is no footway and she had to step from tie to tie. Hayes made for the ferry to Staten Island, from Bayonne, 8 mile from the terminus of the bridge, and his wife kept at his heels. When they reached the ferry she followed on board the little steamer Lark, that plies between Port Richmond, 8. L, and Bay onne, and made another intellectual at tempt to get possession of the child, which, in the struggle, nearly had it's clothing torn off.
 Hayes then called Q policeman and, telling him his wife was demented, in duced him to force her off the boat de- spite her tears and entreaties, and allow him to carry the child out of the State. Hayes soon reached the New York shore and was out of the Jurisdiction of the New Jersey authorities.
 The baffled wife had no money with her, and was forced to walk all the way back in a drenching rain storm to Eliza bethport, which she reached late al | night wet through and in an exhausted l condition. she made her way to tht house of Lawyer T. M. Kelly, to whom she related what had take place and implored him to get back her child The lawyer, however, said he was un able to do anything in the matter as tn kidnapper had got beyond the reach O New Jersey law.

THE perennial bill to legalize marriage with deceased wife's sister is again be- fore the English house of commons. As, however, her most gracious majesty, Queen Victoria, no longer has in her immediate family a deceased wife's sister in want of an eligible parti, she does not appear to take as lively an in- terest in the measure as she used to manifest before the Princess Beatrice was married and settled. She makes uI for the change, however, in her efforts to wed her eldest grandson, Prince George of Wales, to the Princess Mary of Teck, the fiance of his dead brother

THE attorney general pleads igno- rance further than the newspaper ac- counts, concerning the Reading com bine as an answer to the house resolu- tion asking for information. That is precisely the same answer he gave the committee of the house the other day, concerning violations of the civil ser vice law by federal officials in Balti- more. The question naturally arises, why is he ignorant? He has under his orders a large force of special agents and other officials, covering every sec tion of the country, and it is fair to as- sume that if he is really ignorant of such things it is because he wishes to be. The house has not decided what action, if any, it will take.
