Staying Power Counts in a Long

Ellsworth people need not be told how
hard it is to earn and maintain good rep

After such loss it is well nigh impossi-
BILE to recover the, ground, and the major

quietly but thoroughly. Ellsworth peo-
pie want no better proof of the reputa-
ton earned by Doan's Kidney Pills than
the following experience from citizen:
Mrs. Philna Moon, residing on the
Surry road short distance on this side of
East Surry in the new white cottage over
looking the bay, says VI read several
accounts in the newspapers about mothers
recommending Doan's Kidney Pills for
children in cases of kidney and urinary
diseases. This induced me to give them
to my 14-year- old daughter, who suffered
from kidney and urinary weakness ever
since she was years of age, compla inning

tory in iselt OF taion river. In it are
the names of all, or nearly all, OF the set
tiers in what WAS atterward Surry and

invoices of goods on hand. He bought
mostly of William Gray, jr., Of Salem, and

MIOWERA ATTACHED.
Levy for Four Thousand Pounds De.
lays Her Arrival

The delay in the arrival of the Mo
vera from Australia is said to be due
to the fact that she was prevented
from sailing on time by the levy of an
attachment for four thousand pounds.
This grows out of the trouble which
put the line to which the Miowera be-
langs in the hands of a receiver some
time ago.
The outcome of these troubles will
probably be that the Canadian Pacific
Railway will assume control of the
line and make the additions to the
fleet of two of the Empress boats, as
announced in The Star yesterday.
Negotiations to this end are report
ed to have already been begun be-
tween the Canadian Pacific and James
Huddart. the principal owner of the
Canadian-Australian line.

SENATOR DAVIS POPULAR
WARMLY GREETED At MICHIGAN
CLUB BANQUET.
Declares That Uncle Sam Must Have
Hawaii FOR Denfence-Only Port in
the North Pacific.

At the recent banquet of the Nich-
gan Club, at Detroit. the leader of the
annexation fight at Washington,
Senator Cushman X. Davis. was
warmly greeted by the distinguished
gathering. and his uttcrances concern
ing Hawaii caused immense enthuSi-
asm. Of him. the Detroit Free Press
says
when the venerable Minnesota SEN
ator, bearing Il striking facial resem-
blance to the late General Ben Butler,
slowly rose and advanced TO the spea-
Ker's desk. half dozen students from
the State University sprang suddenly
into view from about the middle of the
auditorium and enthusiastically vote
ed the familiar L. of VI. Rah. Rah.'
etc. college yell of the University of
Michigan.
"The audience, quickly approaching
the timely and appropriate compli-
ment to the distinguished guest, gave
spontaneous applause. The audience
greeted the Senate" most cordially.
and listened with breathless attention
to his patriotic utterances on Our
Foreign Relations.'
'The audience burst into applause
when Senator Davis referred to the
subject of the annexation of the Ha-
waiian Islands, and again when he de-
clared, We need those Islands for the
purpose of defence And still again
when he said the United States had a
more important use for the Islands for
commercial purposes. because they
contain the only port in the North Pa
cific.'
~ few moments later Il round of
applause greeted the Senator's decla-
ration: Our relations with Spain
have, from the foundation of this gov
eminent, been exceedingly veNatious.
We have suffered from her procrasti-
mating acts of diplomacy
He implored the audience to deport
themselves with moderation and cir
cumspectly so long as no American
was incarcerated or killed in Cuba.
and so long as no American interests
i'm the contemplation of international
law, were infringed and he explained
that he spoke from the head and not
from the heart which. he said. beat
warmly for the Cuban patriots strug-
Cling for liberty.
more vigorous and spontaneous ap-
plause followed his declaration that
President Mckinley, who as boy
shouldered his musket and fought for
his country, could be relied upon to
do his duty when the crucial moment
comes in the United States relations
with Spain. He urged that adequate
and sufficient preparations for war
was the best preparation the govern
ment of the United States could make
TO insure peace. and the audience APP
plauded the sentiment to the echo"
