Several car loads of the plant of the
lola Machinery Company is already
on the ground, and a temporary build
ing has been put up to cover it.
Work on the permanent building has
begun and will be crowded as rapid
ly as possible. The Directors of the
company have been here this week,
the secretary and general manager
are here to stay, and this enterprise
will move right along.
BUILDING NOTES.
A. w. Beck, II. l.. Henderson and
w. J. Evans have bought the lots
just west OF Beck's implement house
and have already started the work on
three business rooms that will be two
stories high and sixty feet deep. DR..
who owns the remaining
vacant lot in that block, is figuring
on building, and the chances are that
the block will be solid before the sum-
mer is over.
The block of four brick business
rooms at the north west corner of the
square is rising as rapidly as the
material can be laid.
Mr.. Claiborne has the foundation
for his new corn and feed mill.
1t would be tedious to enumerate
all the private houses that are under
or that are contemplated
Dr. contracted for. They are to be
found at every turn.
NEW ADDITIONS.
The Kansas Improvement Com
pany has bought the Chase tract and
The south half of the Keyser tract.

WHEELING AND MARIETTA.
The Two Gun Boats Will Be Ready for
Launching About March IT.

For the First Time in the History of the
Pacific Coast, Two War Vessels Will be
Launched Simultanco cously-Descriptio of
the Boats and the Service They Are EN-
pected to Reconsideration from
Wheeling and Marietta VIII be There.
SAN FRANCISCO, February l5th.-A
twin baptism OF war vessels at the I'm
ion Iron Works on or about March II
will be the programme OF an unusual
naval event to be witnessed by dele
cations from West Virginia and Ohio,
as we'll as by crowds from this city.
The Wheeling and the Marietta are
the names to be given to two boats as
they glide from the ways into the
water at the same instant
This is the first time that two war
vessels haye been launched at the
same time on this coast The vessels
are all but ready 70: the double christ
ening, and invitations have been sent
to the Eastern cities after which they
are named. Citizens of Wheeling, w.
Va, and of Marietta, Ohio, will send
delegations to participate in the ccre-
monies.
The two additions to the United
States navy are what are known as
twin screw light draught composite
gunboats. Their contract cost price is
s219,OOo and S223,OOo respectively, and
they are virtually sister ships The
boats, while perfectly seaworthy for
round the world cruises, with the re-
markably large radius of action, are
peculiarly adapted for service on the
inland waters of the United States and
other countries and by reason of their
be expected to visit localities where
warships are practically unknown.
Both vessels are of the same dimen-
sions. They are ia feet long on the
load water line, the beam extreme al
load water line is 81 feet and the
draught normal to bottom of leel is Il
feet. The vessels are of 1000 tons dis
placement The Indicated horse power
must be 500, and the estimated speed i:
II knots an hour. The coal supply
bunker capacity is 250 tons. The com
plement of officers, seamen and marines
is IA.
| The armament consists of six four
inch rapid-fire guns, one forward anc
one aft on the main deck, and two OF
each broadside of the gun deck. There
are also four Founders and four one
Founders, all rapid fire.

ter attraction than has been in Mari
eta this season, will be presented at
the Auditorium this evening. The
company is the same that played in
New York City 400 nights, $50 nights
in Chicago, 100 nights in Boston. The
play is beautiful border drama, but
without the usual gun powder and
noise found in war drama; it is in.
tended to please all, and nervous per-
sons need not expect the sudden ex-
plosion of a pistol to upset their peace
of mind for the rest of the evening; as
for those who like blood and thunder
they can rest assured that they will be
better pleased with this show than
with the ordinary wild Indian" com
panies. A very nice souvenir, such as
are now being presented at the city
opera houses, such as the Grand, of
Cincinnati, and the Olympia, of New
York, will be presented to every lady
attending this stellar attraction. Re-
member, tonight is the truly fine show,

avoid the rush at the box office. Seat

TENNESSEE APPROVES TT.

We heard a man who had been cited to pay a license, blaming the ,ax com missioner law for the fact. The truth is, the tax commissioner law makes ITO new subjects of taxstion; it does not impose a single privilege in license tax. These are all embraced in the general revenue law passsd by .he last general assembly.
 This is very much like the persistent effort of the opposition press to make it appear tha't liTe tax commission law of Alabama is copied from the back tax law of Tennessee. Gov. Ia ylor, of Tenn ssee, was shown copy of the Alabama law He said of ii at once: Ut is radically diff ferent from our law, ard the idea em- braced init is a splendid one" And the last legislature of Tenn6s.se actually fol- lowed the idea by providing for the col lection eff escapes by revenue agents and paying them 15 per cent. of the amount collec. ed, while We pay only 10 per cent. The better the Alabama law is known, the less will be the complaints against it, and the more and more will its hon. esty and efficiency be recognized

THE GRANT MEMORIAL.

 Ex-President Grant was man of war, and yet he loved peace. He thought with Cicero, who said: Let war be so carried on that no other object may seem to be sought but the acquisition of peace" Grants memorable words Let us have peace," will never be forgctton. He was so in favor of peace that in or der to secure it he was determined "to fight it out on that line if it took all sum- mer." Grant looked on arbitration as another method Of securing peace. He said: -'T look forward to an epoch when a court recognized by all nations will settle international differences instead of keeping large standing armies, as they do in Europe." s.4t....

COMFORT AND KNOWLEDGE.

Set aside for twenty-four hours bot tie or common glass filled with urine. A sediment or settling indicates. an un- healthy condition of the kidneys When urine stains linen 1t is positive evidence of kidney trouble. Too frequent desire to urinate or pain in the back, is also con vincing proof that the kidneys and blad- Der 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, fulfills every wish in relieving pain in the back, Kidneys, liver, bladder and every part of the urinary passages. It corrects inability to hold urine and scalding pain in pass ing it, or bad effects following use of hq- uor. wine or beer, and overeomes that un- pleasant necessity of being compelled to get up many times during the night to urlnate. The mild and the extraordinary effects of Swamp-Root is soon realized. It stands the highest forits wonderful cures or the most distressing cases.
