The Kidney Complexion


The pale, sallow, sunkencheeked, distressed
looking people you so often meet are afflicted
with kidney Complexion
Their kidneys are turning to parsnip color.
So is their complexion.
They may also have indigestion, or suffer from
sleeplessness, rheumatism, neuralgia, brain
trouble, nervous exhaustion and sometimes the
heart acts badly.
The cause is weak, unhealthy kidneys.
Usually the sufferer from kidney disease does
not find out what the trouble is until it is al
most too late, because the first symptoms are SO
like mild sickness that they do not think they
need a medicine or doctor until they ind them
selves sick in bed.
Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root will build up and
strengthen their weak and diseased kidneys,
purify their diseased, kidney-poisoned blood,
clear their complexion and soon they will enjoy
better health.
You can get the regular sizes at the drug
store, at fifty cents and one dollar or you may
first prove for yourself the wonderful virtues OF
this great discovery, Swamp Root, by sending
your address to DR. Kilmer & Co, Binghamton.
for a sample bottle and book that tells all
about it, both sent to you absolutely free by

Nj +. Ink. Dec. ga dispatch to
The Tribune from Washington City
says: The energy with which the
Navy Department is strengthening it's
forces in Pst.:fic Ocean is further en-
phasized by decision to send four
hundred enlisted men as quickly as
possible across the continent to San
Francisco to be taken by the next
mail steamer 10 Hong Kong. This
action was ;.;.en in response to re-
QUESTION from admiral Dewey to send
him men to take charge of the captured
cruisers Don Jnan de Austria, Isla d
Cube and Isla de Luzon, the two latter
vessels being now III drydock at Hong
kong, while the first being repaired at
Cavite. In the battle of Manila when
these vessels sunk the Spanish crews
aggregated 53l officers and men. The
personnel resources of the navy will be
severely taxed in sending these men to
the Pacific just now on account of the
statutory limitations of the number Of
men allowed IN the service. The pre-
sent peace establishment provides only
1893 men, but in the war, under spe-
clal temporary authority,the total
naval strength rose to nearly $4,000.
This figure will be reduced this week
to 1900, but below this it is consider
ed unsafe to go and an appeal will be
made to Congress as soon as it reassem-

IT is correct principle that every
one should pay some tax toward the
support OF the state and local govern
ment. The state provides laws for the
protection of everyone, whether citizen
Or not, and everyone should be willing
to contribute to the support of the gov
eminent in return for the blessings of
liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
The fact that man may have large
family to support should not excuse
him from paying on his small amount
of property if he owns but little. The
state never invited him to raise this
large family and it is not the states
fault if he has more children than he
can properly educate and care for.
The very fact that he has this large
family adds an increased burden on
the state in the way of providing in
creased school facilities, and makes it
all the more clear why the average
man of small means who is usually
thus blessed should contribute to the
support of the government under our
system Of direct taxation. However.
the principal objection to levying this
tax on everyone is the impracticability
OF collecting the very small amounts,
and largely increased costs that would
be added to the work OF the treasurer's
office to collect the small levies that
would be made against many persons.
This being She case, it is reasonable
proposition that it will be cheaper in
the long run and more generally salts
factory to have law granting a rea-
sonable exemption of personal property
to every person, free from taxation.
The $500 limit which was formerly in
existence in Washington before the
pops monkeyed with the laws may or
may not have been too high to cover
the matter. The question is = one
which the coming legislature will
handle early in the day by submitting
a constitutional amendment on the
subject to be voted on at the next gen.
eral election.-Bee-Nugge

AGITATION for wide wagon tires has
been so determined and so effective in

OF the farmers continually exhort their

The famous Cuban filibuster Laurada
was knocked down at United States
Marshall's auction sale this morning,
at the Federal Court rooms, to Frank
A. Bell, representing Sol. G. Simpson.
The purchase price was $25.1 100, (which
was 500 higher than the bid of Taco
ma parties, represented by Hugh Wal
lace. .-e,.,
Attorney w. H. Brinker started the
Laurada at $4,000. He was bidding
for the Tacoma parties. Frank Bell
raised him and third bidder. appear
ed IN the person interested in the
steamer Detroit, recently wrecked in
Alaska. He reached his limit a: 49,
900, and was heard from no more.
Spirited bidding between the other
parties continued. Judge Brinker
finally said $4,000. This was raised
an even hundred. Attorney Brinker
had evidently reached his limit and
the steamer was knocked down to Mr..
Bell.
The Government has case OF SNUG
Cling against the steamer. If this
goes against the company, the. $25, 100
will go to the Government. IT the
smuggling charge falls through, the
company will get the money. The
Laurada cost $4,000 about year ago
when purchased in Boston. A great
deal has been spent on her since. She
is supposed to be worth about $50, 900,
so the purchaser got bargain. Re-
ceiver Carroll says, however, that he
is satisfied with the sale.
The Brixham is total wreck and
Capt. Durie, who has been encamped
on a nearby island since that time, is
expected home on the next steamer.
There is $4,000 insurance due on the
vessel. The only other assets of the
company are fleet of stern wheel
river boats on the Yukon River. These
are also said to be encountered in sew
eral ways.
1t is probable that the Laurada will
be put on the Lynn Canal run from
this port, in connection with the
freight steamer Elihu Thompson. Had
the Tacoma bidders secured the boat
she would have been operated in con-
nection with the City of Seattle

Too Bad for Centralia.

The Shelton JOURNAL says that this
year no tax has been levied by that
municipality and that Shelton has
So, 900 on hand. How nice it must
be to live in that prosperous little city.
When will Centralia be able to show
such record? Probably not for many
years. 1t will require much careful
work on the part of the city officials to
pay necessary expenses and pay off the
floating debt, the interest alone on
which is $27OO per year. To this must
be added $500 bond interest. The sit
uation is q delicate one for those who
handle the city government.-Centra-

THE West Coast & P. S. Lumber
man report that "the cargo of decking
being loading at the Tacoma mill de-
serves more than passing notice. 1t
is perhaps the most valuable cargo of
lumber that ever left any port in the
United Stated. 1T will be worth laid
down in Hamburg, Germany, about
$4,000. There will be 100000 feet
of faultless fir decking in it. Not a
blemish is allowed to go into this car
go. It goes in the rough and will be
worked at destination to suit the speci-
fications of the Germans. The aver
age length of the stock is 81 feet. The
Puget Mill CO. and the Port Blakely
Mill Co. have each cut 100000 feet of
this cargo, the Tacoma mill thebalance.
The order could not be duplicated in
any other lumber district in the world"

Wood pulp is now converted into
yarns, which are intertwined with
woolens in the manufacture of worst
eds, of excellent quality. Yarns are
also made of wood pulp which can be
used in the manufacture of knit goods.
1t is claimed for the various wood pulp
yarns that they are perfectly pliable,
and are of lasting quality. One OF the
important applications of wood pulp
yarns is in the weaving of carpets and
rugs, which combine smootbness and
great wearing qualities with suscepti-
bility to high artistic effect. Such
carpeting can be sold at much lower
prices than the ordinary kind. This
can be easily understood when it is
shown that wooden yarns are worth in
the worsted style $1.25 a pound, and
in the ordinary makes 81 pound,
while wood pulp yarn can be sold at

are also manufactured, and other
fabrics of the same material are turned
out. rs a contemporary remarks,
"From carpets to artificial teeth; from
pavements harder than cement to the
softest of hosiery, is the range of wood
pulp" 1t is no wonder, then, that
wood pulp manufacture has become
such an immense industry that great
aggregatioEs of capital are becoming
devoted to it, and that pulp timber is
being sought where it is accessible, or
can be made so, to transportation facil-
ities.-Northwestern Lumberman.
