ROANOKE has many fine trotting
horses, and the breeding OF them is
becoming an item of some Importance
in this section OF the State In this
connection it is interesting to note that
the subject is of considerable moment
and upon the increase throughout the
country. The fact was s,rikingly illus.
tratod at the recent annual meeting
of the Kentucky Trotting Horse
Breeders Association at Lexington.
1t was the twenty first annual meeting
OF the association, and by far the
most successful in it's history. The
daily attendance for the entire
week averaged five thousand people,
which was quite remarkable when it is
remembered that Lexington is city OF
less than $4,000 population. The sur.
rounding country for many miles was
largely represented daily while many
people from other States were also
present The interest in the fair at
Fincastle furnishes an example nearer
home. With the advent of good roads
will come the further development of
this class OF noble animals

DIR. KELLEY A MILLIONAIRE.
His Proflts From the Bi-ChlOFids Of
Gold Cure Enormous.

His Profits From the Bi-Chlorids Of
Gold Cure Enormous.
Ten years ago DR.. Kelley was an obscure
physician in the village Of Dwight. The
doctor had been an army surgeon, and
during the war the idea was born to him
that drunkenness is . disease. At the
close of the war he returned to Dwight and
soon became the surgeon at that place of
the Alton railroad.
While not engaged professional he ex-
perimented in a rudely constructed labora-
tory on the formula that mas since made
him famous. Success did not attend him
at the start The original method Of treat
ment was internally. and on some persons
it exercised good effect, but it fell short
of removing the appetite from constant
drinkers The sudden regeneration of the
first patient under the shot system was
heralded broadcast, and soon after patients
began hocking to Dwight.
Chicago sent down battalion, and they
came back cured. At one time Dwight
held l 800 patients. and the attendance
never went below 800 until outside insti-
tutlons began to make bid for patronage.
1t is safe to say that DR.. Kelley has al
ready received SIS 100000 from patients.
The amount of money received for medi-
cine tor home treatment year ago was
large enough to defray the running ex-
penses OF the parent institution. Suisse
quently institutions were established
throughout the United States and in
Europe.
The United States government became
interested in the treatment, and It is in
use at the various Soldiers Homes through
out the country. DIR. Kelley now owns
the greater portion of Livingston county.
His associates, Col. Judd and DR.. Oughton,
are also multi-millionaires. Now Kelley
has sold the formula and all the institutes
to New York syndicate for SIC. 600, 900.

Boston and the Monterey, arr at New

sail around the Horn to reach tSse Pacific.
Under these circumstances ~ 10 per-
fectly plain that if Great Britain alone OF
foreign powers should oppose o.ss annexa-
ton of Hawaii, or should coneltsaa TO ac-
cept . tender made to her of ts;s islands
that we are absolutely without anything
that approaches an adequate nsval force
to defend them.
These cold, hard facts SEER 20 us to
point to the necessity OF the Un.sed States
either becoming q great naval power,
strong enough to enforce it's: national
policy, or being exceedingly careful in
taking steps of international Importance
that may involve the application Of force.
One reason why q good mAny level
headed Americans are disposed so go slow
in the matter OF the anne ration o, Hawaii
pared to defend them, and We cam sue
cessfulIy defend them IN case Of attack
except we become great naval ipower.
Hawaii has been ignorantly called the
Gibraltar Of the Pacific" Most absurd
description. To call these the: Bermudas
Of the Pacific would be far rstore intelii-
gent description. The Bermu9as are no
Gibraltar" however; they e.. only one
Of England's fortified naval sepots and
costing stations that lie within e;.sy reach
Of our Atlantic seaboar.i. England holds
>the Bermudas because she 10 srsat naval
power; without her great navg she could
not hold them secure against occupation.
So with the Hawaiian islands: If we take
them on our own responsibility. We are at
once committed to the necessits Of becom-
ing great naval power. If We are ready
to accept this consequence VI: would do
we'll to extend our navy as rapidly ~ pos
sible: if We are not ready to accept this
power. Why then it woald seem as If the
only safe way for the United States to OBJ.
tain the Hawaiian islands wou@e b BY in
ternational compact.
There are numerous other rsaaons why
the United States ought to becsn.e . great
naval power. If We ever seriously mean
to guarantee the building of tbs Nicaragua
canal We need q strong navy, With the
building of this canal the U;iited States
will be compelled to assume th. protection
Of this commercial waterway connecting
the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. It would
be the height of folly fer the United States
to permit the building Of this =snal with
out establishing prctectorate over it in
order to guard her own interest. which
otherwise would suffer increased exposure
