The effects of Columbia Lithia
Water are not strongly laxative,
like the waters OF Saratoga, nor
is it merely diuretic.
The beauty of this water is
that it is grandly and generally
beneficial, starting with the
stomach. which it gently quick
ems into better action; hence its
constant use as a table water is
well nigh a specific against the
painful enemy OF comfort or use
fulness-dyspepsia. Its action
on the kidneys is marked, but not
violent, in fact, this admirable
water is nowhere excessive in its
effect. For incipient Bright's
disease, or any OF those disorders
arising from blood impurity, the
free use Of this water, drank daily
at the table, is an efficient safe
guard.
Its effect upon the bowels,
like its manifestations every
where else is mild, but searching.

nALTIMobE1s BIG PROFITS.
Estimating the Money Cleared by thu
Orioles This Season.

Estimating the Money Cleared by the
Orioles This Season.
Figures pertaining to finances says the
Baltimore News, are always interesting,
particularly when they refer to some one
elses business The question has been
asked: How much did the Baltimore club
make this year," AS the owners could not
reasonably be expected to subject their pri-
vate affairs to the scrutiny of an unchar-
liable world. the best one can do in answer
is to make the best of facts at ones dis
posal. According to the attendance fig
ures already announced in the News. 273 DIG
people saw the club play at home. The pro-
portion Of 25-cent. 50-cent and 75-cent tick
cts indicates a conservative average per
capita Of 40 cents. Using this as a basis,
sos, 21S.40 would have been taken in at
home. OF this amount one-half of % cents
per capita was given to visiting clubs.
amounting to $34. 1905. The greatest diff
Guilty is experienced in determining what
the Baltimore club took away from the
eleven other cities in the circuit. If the
towns had uniform charge for admission
it would be easy to calculate. Philadelphia,
though, has 25-cent admission, while the
other cities visited by the Orioles charged
so cents.
While away from home 1876 sol people saw
the Baltimore club play. Perhaps 40 cents
per capita would be about a correct aver
age, and, using this figure, Baltimore would
get one-half. or 20 cents for each admis-
s!on-a total of $79. $3.50. Adding this to
the home receipts and deducting the
amount paid to visiting clubs, the esti-
mated total receipts would he S134, 225.S1.
The score card and bar privileges count for
something, but may go to offset the passes
issued. AS for expenses the amount can
only be estimated by what officials of other
clubs say their teams cost them. For OK
ample, President Pulliam makes no bones
about saying that $4,000 will cover his
| teams expenditures this season. If the
| Colonels cost this sum the Orioles have
| cost $4,000. 1t is pretty safe guess to
| say the owners of the Baltimore club
cleared at least sT3.oO0 this year.

IT IS CHICKEN POx !?
The Small Pox Scare in Greensboro
Disappearing.

Speaking OF the supposed case of
small pox in Greensboro, the Record
says: Those who met Tucker are kept
| alOof from any one else, all of them
have been vaccinated anew so that
the danger OF the disease spreading is
| reduced to minimum, for these PEG
pie are under the surveillance of the
doctor, and the moment the least
symptom is shown they will be sent
| out also. This in the event fuckers
case turns out tc be genuine, OF which
there is yet doubt
There was somewhat of a scare
among the guests Of the hotel, not so
much on account of fear of taking the
disease as being guaranteed and
forced to remain in town. So far as
our own people are concerned there is
no fear and everything is going on as
usual. In 1864 and again in 1866 we
had several cases of this disease here
and they were not even moved out OF
town, though the block where the
disease was confined was roped off and
no one was allowed to go 10 or out
There was not a death and in ten or
twelve days it was all over, the dis
ease being confined entirely to the
house where it was first discovered.
General vaccination is recommended,
though it is compulsory only on those
who came into contact with Mr..
Tucker.
An old gentleman who has had
small pox and has nursed many cases
of it, being engaged as nurse for
months in large hospital went out
TO see Tucker yesterday morning and
says he will stake his reputation he
has nothing but chicken pOx. He
says Tucker is walking around his
over as heis with eruption in divers
places on hts body, could not raise his
head from his pillow, for to do SO
wouiu make him deathly sick If he
had small puX
This old gentleman says he knows
what small pox is and what chicken
puX is, and is satisfied with the dag
nOsis.
In this connection it may be stated
that man who been over the same
route where Tucker has been in the
last week and where it is acknowl-
edged chicken pox is raging, was at
Walnut Cove yesterday where an old
physician couversant with small pox,
etc, says he has chicken pOx, al
though everybody at that place
thought otherwise aud there was
great alarm until the doctor assured
them it was not small pox.
Capt. B. J, Fisher, the owner Of the
BenbOw hotel, has telegraphed to
specialist in small pox at Baltimore
to come TO Greensboro ana diagnose
the case. Until that is done the hotel
will remain closed

BROTHER MARRIED SISTER.
The Discovery Made When Celebrat-
ing Their Anniversary.

WICHITA, Kans., Jan 23.-The vii
lage of Mulvane, a few miles south Of
here, is stirred up over disclosures
brought to light on the occasion of
the thirty-n1nth wedding anniversary
OF Peter Wilson and wife few days
ago Their nine children and several
grand children were present with
many neighbors.
1n the company was Isaac Ashton,
foster father OF Mrs. Wilson, who was
en- route to Oklahoma, and Robert
Wilson, foster father OF Peter Wilson,
who lived in a neighboring county.
The men were neighbors forty years
ago, but had not seen each other
since
Their reminiscent talk brought out
the fact that in 1923 Alexander Tay-
lOr, his wife and two children located
IN Richmond, Ind, having moved
there from Noble county, Ohio. Tay-
lor went as volunteer to the Florida
Indian war and died while on the ex-
petition. Mrs. Taylor died soon af-
terward, leaving her children, Peter
and Rachel, six and two years old, re-
specJively to the care OF strangers.
Isaac Ashton and Robert Wilson
had ueen friends OF the Taylors. Ash
ton adopted Rachel and Wilson adopt
ed Peter Taylor. Ashton moved TO
Iowa soon afterward, and Wilson
went to Northern Missouri. They
ntv-r spoke to the children of their
antecedents, and they grew up to con-
slider they were the children Of their
respective foster parents.
When Peter was seventeen years
old he went to Sioux City, Iowa, to
learn the carpenter trade, and at tenn
perance meeting he met Rachel Ash
ton, who was visiting her foster aunt
They became Sweethearts, and three
years later were married.
They settled in Sumner county,
Kansas, where they have always been
highly respected. They have nine
children. Three children are deaf
mutes, and two others are defOrmed.
All are married except one of the deaf
mutes and two OF the younger chill
dren.
Peter Wilson swooned when he
heard the old neighbours talk, and for
a time he was thought to be dead, but
he WAS revived. He and his wife are
almost crazed with grief.
