Bladder TrOnbleS.i

The bladder was created for one pur-
pose, namely, receptacle for the urine,
and as such it is not liable to any form of
disease except by one of two ways.
The first way is from imperfect action of
the Kidneys The second way is from
careless local treatment of other diseases.

The community OF North Walpole
was shocked Monday afternoon on
learning of Il fatal accident to Willie,
the II years old son of John Ii.
Blake. The facts as reported to the
writer are as follows. The boy was
on platform at the coal sheds and
attempted to jump oH to flat car at
tached to a moving train he missed
his calculation, however, and instead
of landing on the flat car, fell be-
tween that car and box car and on
to the track beneath. The wheels of
the car passed over both legs, strik-
ing one leg above the knee and the
other below the knee. One leg was
cut completely off and the other so
badly mangled that it had to be am
putated.
The accident happened about 3 p.
m. but the boy lived until a. m.

Prosperity On The Narrow Gauge.

We are told that two iron bridges,
to replace the wooden ones at Win.
hall Station and at Cobb Brook, are
to be put in position during the com
ing summer, war or no war, the ma
terial, part of it, being already on
hand. Presumably, later on, the
Salmon Hole Bridge between Towns
hend and Newfane will also receive a
similar treatment. This is an indica-
ton Of prosperity that we are pleased
to note. 1t also shows a care and
looking after the welfare of the
road and the safety and accommoda-
ton of the people on the part of the
management that merits commenda-
ton. The road is now an indispen-
sible part and parcel of the West
River valley and Its management de-
serves the thanks of our people for
their care and interest.

Senator Steve Elkins's outbreak
against the Canadian Pacific railroad
is based cstensibly on patriotic
grounds, that is, the Hon Stephen
fears that the road might be used to
land British troops in this country,
which he said it could do at the rate of
$4,000 day. The fact of the matter
is. however that the Canadian Pacific
has been cutting rates on Klondike
business to the great chagrin of COM
peting American railroads. This is all
the milk there is in that coeoanut.
The honorable West Virginia Senator
probably did not fear so much the in
vasion of the country by British
troops over the Canadian Pacific as he
did the invasion of the bank accounts
of certain American railroad mag
mates of which the honorable gentle
man from West Virginia is one.

trouble with the old SYSTEM"
This shortsightedness on the part of
those who would benefit most by good
roads is decidedly discouraging. In
view of such state of affairs. the
Missouri plan of establishing a State
association and State and county con-
ventions is probably the best thing
that can be devised, for it is evidently
necessary to educate good many of
the people most interested on this
subject
Something of this sort could be
adopted with advantage in West Vir-
ginia, where we have probably as bad
roads as there are anywhere in the
civilized world.

1t is said that a big English syndi-

by representing the status Of Spain,
which is alleged by some English
newspapers to have secured options on
several war vessels now building. This
may be true, but even at that Uncle
Sam could spend his money much more
foolishly, than in buying good war
ships.
