During the gas bond agitation re-
Gently the editor OF this paper wrote
a few personal letters Of inquiry and
among them was one to Toledo, o. A
reply to this communication was re-
ceived yesterday, setting forth that
the problem Of cheap gas has at last
been solved by the Doughty Oil Com
pany Of Toledo. This company has
recently perfected, and has a patent
pending on, a process for making gas
from crude petroleum whereby the
gas is completely deodoized and purifi'
ed, and the volume thereof increased
not less than ten times by adding
air. The success Of the process is
being daily demonstrated by 8
small plant at Toledo. The process
is so simple and inexpensive that this
gas can be supplied at = cost Of less
than five cents per thousand cubic feet
while the gas beats anything every y
discovered for light and fuel.
1t is the purpose of the DoUghtyOi
company to organize manufacturing
companies in localities where oil il
produced for the purpose a furnishing
this gas to municipalities or private
companies and in their letter state
that they will cheeefully furnish in
formation as to plans, costs and other
features of operating. Their process
alone acclaimed to be the only hope
of rendering municiple operation OF
gas a success in Toledo-NeOdeshs

Extra Session.

EAlld OCSolUH.
Ia 1t seems almost certain now,
that Governor Leedy will call an ex-
ira session of the Legislature early
in January. 1t can do him no harm.
He is a dead duck. He has been
weighed in the balances and found
wanting. 1t has been demonstrated
that fellow who has lived to be fif-
ty years old and made failure at
everything he has ever undertaken.
will also be failure when he comes
to manage the affairs of great
state. A man who quits farming
because he cannot make living at
it and goes into politics because he
thinks he can make things hum
along that line may make things
hum for awhile, but he cannot sue
coed in the long run. 1t requires
some brains to be even populist
statesman and keep it up. 1t was
thought for awhile that Leedy had
one trait of character we'll develop
ed, viz, nerve. When he said he
proposed to be governor this time,
and let next term take care of itself,
even his enemies could not help ad-
mire his grit, but when the alleged
board of pardons made the play as
if to resign he weakened as only
coward could do. Instead of gong
down into history as the one-term
governor of Kansas With nerve but
not sense he will be spoken of as
the BOBBY governor of this great
state without the courage of his con-
victions and without the convictions.

his portion for the bimetallic cause
through the silver Republicans, and
Mr.. Allen will employ his portion
in advancing the interest of bimet

fact that he received 4.5OO, 900 Dem

votes, 100000 Republican votes, rec.
ognizing at the same time the work
done by the National Bimetallic I'm.

Fill bottle or common water glass
with urine and let IL stand twenty-four
hours; sediment or settling indicatesa
diseased condition of the kidneys. When
urine stains linen it is positive evidence
of kidney trouble. Too frequent desire
to urinate or pain in the back, is also
convincing proof that the kidneys and
bladder are out of order.

There is comfort in the knowledge so
often expressed, that DR.. Kilmer's

But Romeo is as much of a poet

SOME of orr Republican contem-
pOraries are bOasting of the change
OF sentiment in the South i'm favor
of protection, and to support their
idle assertion they point to the
action of the Democrats on WAYS
and Means Committee of Congress
and say they did not make mi
nOrity report because they comid
not agree. Now such talk is all
bnncOmbe and the parties making
such statements know they are
not true. The reason the Demo.
Gratis did not make a minority re.
port on the Dingiey bill was be
cause they did not have time, as
the bill was drawn UP during the
last session Of the 5fth Congress
and reported to the 55th Congress
Oh the first day of the session, re-
ferred to- the Committee on Ways
and Means and then reported
back to the House without giving
the Democratic minority chance
to more than look at the bill. AT
ter being reported back to the
House debate was limited to ~ few
days and when it came up finally
for passage only about IL out of
Its % pages had been discussed,
and among the schedules that
were not reached were the sugar
and wool schedules. The Demo.
Gratis did the best they could to
have the bill somewhat modified,
but were unable to accomplish,
anything because of the over.
wheiming Republican majority
and the party lash held over them
Oy the administration. AS to the
Democrats not being able to agree
all we have to say is that they
did not have the chance to discuss
the bill amOng themselves before
1t was passed in the House.

House az Much MaSnItHde.
There are few cities in this country
which give more promise of permanent
progress and solid prosperity than does
the city of Brunswick.
On every hand are signs and Indications
of an expansion which is both healthy
and permanent.
There many reasons for this, The
principal ones are the vast coastwise and
exporting business done, and the magnif-
cent harhnr nf Brunswick which has been
the means of bringing to the city certain
commercial lines. tho succeseful prosecu-
tion of which recessitates the outlay of
thousands Of dollars and the employment
of manv bands.
OF these lines the luu',or trade is the
most important Brunswick shipping an
nually over rs coo 600 feet
The house under notice is one of the
LARGEST it annually handl ng over 5000 600
feet of lumber all of which is shipped or
exported to European countries princi-
rally. however. to Spain and Portugal
There twelve large lumber firms in the
city which handle the bulk of the lumber
shipped. and by a comparison of the total
lumber shipments, this house will be found
TO rank with the first. Mr.. Benito Padrosa,
the gentleman at the head of the business.
is a man of experience In the lumber
trade having been engaged in this line of
business for many years. and for the past
eight years has been conducting the house
a. this point. He is a comparatively young
man, possessing apt business qualifications
and enjoys wide business connections in
foreign countries as we'll as in America.
AS his name implies. Mr.. Padrosa is of
Spanish extraction. although thoroughly
Americanized and fluent English scholar.
lie enjoys the esteem and respect of the
citizens of Brunswick and may properly
be classed with the aggressive business
men of the community.
Being an exporter Mr. Padrosa conducts
strictly n wholesale business handling
mainly yellow pine lumber. although some
naval stores are exported by him.
The admirable facilities of the house en-
able the proprietor to promptly fill orders,
however large, there being practically no
limit of his capabilities to carry out the
