The provost marshal then read me the
orders and gave me my instructions,
which were as related above. Mr. Vallan-

Constantly On the Alert is the only Guar
antee of the Future.
When we hear of burglary in our
neighborhoOd we always take the most
careful precaution to fasten and lock up
our premises. When we read " dan

but the reckless rush into dangerous
places unless compelled by necessity,
and still thousands upon thousands re
ceive note of warning daily, danger
signal of deep import, and do not give
it passing thought.
A little backache, a twinge, a twitch,
or pains in the back, are not very hard
to bear at first, but they're warning,
danger signal of what's coming
Most backache pains are due to kidney
disorders; pass them by unnOticed and
the kidneys become more troubled. In
time urinary complaints, Bright's dis
ease and death result. Be ever watch
full of a backache. A few doses of
Doar's Kidney Pills taken at the
proper time will save future trouble,
perhaps life itself
Mr.. Geo. Landon, of 1905 Douglas
Ave., Racine, harness maker, employed
AZ Lobdel's shop on Fourth ST.. says:
About the first of March, 1898, used
Doan's Kidney Pills. They did me
good and they are a worthy kidney
remedy. My kidneys had been out of
order for long time, causing my back
to ache and making it hard for me to
stand or sit in one position very long at
time or to stoop. The kidney secre-
tions were irregular, discolored and
contained a sediment. A day or two
after beginning the treatment with
Doan's Kidney Pills began toimprove
and from that time on | steadily grew
better. On completing the treatment
my back felt stronger than it had for
months, and the kidney secretiOns were
clear and more natural in their action. "

The cherished ambitions of Kenosha
are being realized one by one. The
magnificent gifts of q. G.. Simmons,
recently offered to the city, brought us
to a sudden realization that one of
these ambitions is very near to consum-
nation. The other, that of the widen
ing and general improvement of the
harbor, probably antedates the library
project and now the report of the river
and harbor appropriation to this har-
Dor brings it within the realm of, not
possibilities, but realities. The sum
will be adequate to all the improve
ments which have been contemplated.
1t will provide for ample dockage, and
will protect the harbOr from severe
northeast and southeast storms by the
building of an outside breakwater,
and the improvements contem-
plated in the deepening project.
The breakwater, according to the
plans of Captain Warren, which
will serve as guard against the heavy
northeast storms will consist of six de-
tached cribs each 100 feet by 30 feet,
with it's most southerly corner in line
with the channel-face of the north
harbor pier, each crib fitted with stone
and heavily rip-rapped.
Consistent with these plans the city
has purchased the Mygatt property
and forwarded the deed to Washington.
Considerable trouble was experienced
in securing the deed, but it was finally
done and the time is not far off when
operations will be in progress.

How to Prevent Pneumonia

You are perhaps aware that pneu-
monia always results from a cold or
from an attack of la grippe. During
the epidemic of la grippe few years
ago when so many cases resulted in
pneumonia, it was observed that the
attack was never followed by that dis
ease when Chamberlain's Cough Rem
edy was used. 1t counteracts any ten
deAcy of cold or la grippe to result in
that dangerous disease. 1t is the best
remedy in the world for bad colds and
la grippe. Every bottle warranted.

THERE are plenty of good arguments
to be used against the Anti expansion
lists without resorting to calling names.
1t is not necessary to apply the
epithet "yellow" to our anti-expan-
sionist brethren. In fact they do not
belong in that category. However
mistaken we of the opposite side may
consider that class of journalists,
statesmen, etc, which opposes expan-
sion, we are driven to acknowledge
that it comprises many of the most
statesman like and able public men
and editors both in the United States
and in Wisconsin. Therefore, gentle
men, refrain from mud throwing in
this instance, and exert your energies
to summoning the best arguments you
are capable of in support of the princi-
pie you are devoted to.

The whole thing is that Mr.. Will
liams does not want to recognize our
union, but he has not got the nerve to
come right out straight and say so. He
made the remark that We could kill
four or five of his men and he could not
get a jury in this town that would con
vict us. Now, what does he mean by
that? Does he mean to say that the
oath of our citizens here is not virtue.

notoriety be has run against the right
ones to get it.
We would like to know why all OF
those non union buffers were in Mr..
Williams office the other day before

Barbor improvements.

For years, in fact so long as there
has been any material commerce car
ried on over the waters Of Lake Michi-
gan, there has been an imperative need
of harbors of refuge along the lake
shores, particularly on the western
coast. The statistics of casualties
have made this glazing need very ap-
parent to all Who have read them.
The lack of safe harbOr in which
storm driven vessels could seek shelter
between Milwaukee and Chicago has
been the cause of great loss both OF LIE
and wealth. Lake interests and hu-
mainly have long demanded mitiga-
ton of these conditions with no result.
Congress has obdurately failed to meet
all requirements of this nature despite
repeated efforts. That it has suddenly
cast the scales from its eyes and
awakened to the vital needs of COM
mercial interests all along the western
shore of Lake Michigan, and to the
still more essential considerations of
humanity itself is splendidly evinced
bv the action of the Rivers and Har-
Dor Committee on the subject of appro-
priations to west coast harbOrs.
This awakening on the part of Con-
gress is due in the greatest degree to
the untiring efforts of our representa-
tive in Congress and the only Wisconsin
member of the Rivers and HarbOrs
committee, Hon. Fl. A. Cooper.
Throughout his entire service in the
lower house Mr.. Cooper has used his
influence and energies in promoting the
lake shore interests and arOusing the
Washington government to a lively
appreciation of the true significance OF
the situation. He has heretofore secured
unusually liberal appropriations for
Wisconsin harbors, but has never
abated his efforts nor his hopes of OBJ
tanning what he felt to be the crying
need of Wisconsin in the building OF
suitable harbors of refuge along the
lake shore. Previous to the last Con-
gressional election he expressed the
belief that the time had come
when this could be accomplished.
Despite a contemplate attempt to
unseat him at this critical period
he was unanimously reelected, and
the sound sense Of the voters of the
district as we'll as the great merit OF
Mr.. Cooper, has been vindieated by
the result. Wisconsin harbors have
received the largest appropriation in
their history. For this, Wisconsin and
it's manifold commercial interests as
we'll as all of that pertaining to Lake
Michigan, is indebted to Congressman
Cooper.

CURES FOR THE GRIP.
A Whole Lot of Them From Which You
Can Choose.

| A WQOle Lou OF 1uem 6TOM Wu4Cu 4Ou
Can Choose.
As grip is the ruling sickness at
present, it might be we'll to give few
cures. You know when fellow is sick
every sympathizer has remedy, and
as the grip cases are many, so also are
the cures, and here are some of them.
If you have been exposed to the grip
keep your bowels moving by walking
around the block. A two mile move
ment often results in cure.
Turpentine and sugar is recommend
ed by many. If you can't get the
turpentine use dynamite.
Whisky and glycerine, freely used,
will either cure the grip or bring on
the jimjams.
A travelling man often leaves his grip
at the hotel for the landlord to take
care of. You might try it.
Rubber heels will often keep you from
coming down.
Never call doctor unless you have
aces or better. You mightas we'll cash
in and save your money.
If you have pains in your lungs and
it hurts you to breathe you can often
get immediate relief by letting cat
draw your breath for you.
If your head feels clogged and it
gives you distress to blow your nose,
give it rest and blow your coin.
If your hair pulls, your throat is dry
and you feel financial distress in your
pocketbook, soak your watch.
If you have cold chills and want to
change the temperature of your body,
begin at the seat of the disease by sitting
down on hot stove.
To reduce your temperature get your
wife to hold her feet on your back. BE
sure and get over the grip as soon as
YOU can before she forms habit.
Drink freely of cold water if for nc
other reason than to surprise your
stomach.
A change of climate if often recon-
mended. You can get the desired
effact, with very little expense, by
sleeping in the woodshed.
If you have the grip in earnest il
might be we'll to get the password be-
fore leaving your friends.-Racine

The completion of these plans will
