The Airship Sighted Again.

Last night telephone message came
to the Statesman Office from Nanor's
store, close to Webberville, stating that
Jack Wood. B. f. Scallorn and Mr..
Edwards had seen the mysterious airship
about $50 last night. Messrs Wood
and Scallorn first came to the store, re-
porting that they had seen it and giving
a description of it. Shortly after Mr..
Edwards came in and reported that he
also had seen it, while on the road from
Webbeville to Dunlop. The descriptions
given by these people tally, except that
Mr.. Edwards thought he observed a
dark object shaped like a balloon just
above the ship proper. They say it was
going in a northwesterly direction, was
not very high, and bright lights shone
from what they supposed to be windows.

HOW TO FIND OUT,

Fill a bottle or common glass with
urine and letit stand twenty-four hours
a sediment or settling indicates an I'M
healthy condition of the kidneys.
When urine stains linen it is positive
evidence of kidney trouble. Too fire.
quent desire to urinate or pain in the
back, is also convincing proof that the
kidneys and bladder are out of order.
WHAT TO DO.
There is comfort in the knowledge so
often expressed, that DR.. Kilmer's
Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy
fulfils every wish in relieving pain in
the back, kidneys, liver, bladder and
every part of the urinary passages. 1t
corrects inability to hold urine and
scalding pain in passing it, Or bad effects
following use Of liquor, wine or beer,
and Overcomes that unpleasant neces-
sity Of being compelled to get up many
times during the night to urinate. The
mild and extraordinary effect of Swamp
Roog is soon realized. 1t stands the
highest for its wonderful cures of the
most distressing cases. If you need a
medicine you should have the best.

Hawaiian Annexation,

Every one will admit that no obsta-
cles to the annexation of Hawaii are
any longer to be found in the history oil
! the establishment of the present Tepub-
| lc Nor are any obstacles to be found
in the larger international situation, in
asmuch as the great European powers
have for many years we'll understood
| the intimate nature of the relationship
existing between the Hawaiian group
and the United States, and had become
accustomed decades ago to the view
that the future political status of Hawaii
was a matter merely to be determined
between Honolulu and Washington
AS for the claim by Japan of a right to
interfere or to be consulted, it is with
out foundation. There are, it is true
many coolie laborers of Japanese birth
in the Sandwich Islands, but these are
very recent corners, and their impOr-
tatiOn has been an industrial incident
in which the government Of Japan until
lately has had no part. The sugar crop
has grown skiold within very few
years, and Asiatic field IabOrers, with
out their families and under no cOndi-
lions Of permanent settlement, have
been employed in great numbers. In
the minds of many thoughtful Ameri-
cans the really difficult questions is how
to reconcile a suitable administration OF
the Hawaiian Islands with the princi-
Piles that generally prevail in the adj
ministratiOn of our Amarican States. 1t
is feared by some of these men that
Hawaii may at an early day seek and
obtain admission as a State if now adj
mitted as territory; and such a thing
might eventually be possible as ma
tiOnal presidential election turning upon
the prejudice of the Portuguese vote in
the island Of Oahu, while the policy OF
this great country mighty at some fate
full moment be decided by the action of
senator whose predictions were de-
rived from an ancestral strain of POlyne-
sain blood. Undoubtedly the time has
come when we must face the question
whether or not the American flag may
float over an outlying RECON like Hawaii
without the necessary consequence OF
the reel procal participation Of such re-
gion in the business of governing this
country. The Senate will do well to
face all such questions with the utmost
frankness. The assured benefit of per
petual free trade with the United States
would be a most adequate compensation
to Hawaii for all that it can possibly
give up; and it could not reasonably eX-
pect,-at least for long time,-to be
allowed to send representatives to Wash
ington.-From "The Progress of the
World" in American Monthly Review
of Reviews for July.

National Educational Association.

To any one whose interest in educa-
tional progress in this state has in it the
warmth of devotion, the session Of the
National Educational Association to be
held in Milwaukee July 60 is an event
of more than ordinary importance, 1t
is not a gathering of educators to dis
cuss the technics of their work It is
not professional in the restricted sense liz
which that word is used when applied
to conventions of specialized and limit
ed functions. The purpose of this assO-
citation is as broad as the field Of aCtivi-
ty i'll which its members are engaged.
It's aim is, while enlarging the sweep OF
education, to invest instruction with
human sympathy and make it touch the
life Of the people, thus giving to know
ledge power. moral direction and com
prehensiveness. These high ideals
have developed through honest and
persistent search for the truth, and con-
stitute body of doctrine which is felt
more than 1t IS eXpounded IN words,
at these conventions. The influence
for good exercised by a convention
whose proceedings are participated in
by men of such distinguished ability,
who are earnest in their efforts to spread
the gospel of intelligence, cannot be
OVer-estlmated.
The association should be made to
feel by the welcome accorded and the
appreciation manifested by Wisconsin,
that cordial recognition Of merit is 4
characteristic of the state, and that i'll
dustrious and conscientious toilers in
the educational field are not without
fellowship here. The Association has
drawn no little portion Of its inspiration
from our state, with an association of its
own which is regarded as an eXemplar
wherever its reputation extends. The
vigor of the National Association dates
from its meetings at Madison in 1884,
when its membership was largely in
creased and its purpose enlarged and
strengthened. Many Of those who have
worked increasingly and unselfshly to
build up our state association, are now
bending every effort to make the meet
ing to be held in Milwaukee next
month, creditable to the state in whose
educational spirit and institutions they
take such just pride. If an incentive
other than sense of duty-to which Wis
coDsin always sponds-were needed
to awaken interest in this meeting
among our people, the hope these men
entertain. the strong desire they have
that the state will prove worthy Of itself
| should furnish it.

Tiarrying a Man to Reform Him

The most subtle and deceitful hope
which ever existed, and one which
wrecks the happiness of many young
girls life, j" writes Evangelist Dwight L.
Moody. in the June Ladies' Home
Journal, SIS the common delusion that
q woman can best reform a man by
marrying HIM. 1t is mystery to me
how people can be so blinded to the
hundreds of cases in every community
where lettering homes have fallen and
innocent lives have been wrecked, be-
cause some young girl has persisted in
marrying scoundrel in the hope of
saving him. | have never known such
a union, and l have seen hundreds of
them. result in anything but sadness
and disaster. Let no young girl think
that she NAV be able to accomplish
what a loving mother or sympathetic
sisters have been unable to do. Before
there is any contract of marriage there
should be convincing proof that there
has been real and thorough regenera-
ton.

Condition Of Trade.

Midsummer vacations have COM
menced in many works, with the de-
crease of orders usual at this season.
The customary vacation is called strike
where agreements regarding wages for
the coming year have not been reached,
and the extensive strike ofAmalgamated
Ironworkers announced July LIST is OF
this nature, but the strike of coal miners
in Illinois and other central Western
States is not, and may prove costly. In
some iron and cotton works wages have
been reduced, owing to low prices, one
cotton mill in Virginia closing because
reduction was not accepted. With a
better demand the employers Will seek
agreement, and in its absence the work
ers before long, so that the situation is
distinctly of a midsummer character.
Large hopes are built on prospective
demand after the tariff bill has passed,
but the pressure in the market Of large
importing stocks may defer it, The
general belief is that removal of uncer-
tainty will in any case increase business
