BIG TREES OF THE WEST.
How One traveller Was Impressed
by she Yosemite Giants.

We made side trip to the big trees of
the Mariposa group, which are about one
hours ride from the hotel, says corre-
spondent. If the smallest of these trees
could be planted anywhere in Pennsyl-
vania the railroads would run excursion
trains to it and make money. The trees
in this grove are so large that IT takes a
good while to fully appreciate the facts
about the size of the biggest of them.
The Grizzly Giant is thirty-four feet
through at the base and over 800 feet
high This tree would overtop the spires
feet The trunk of this tree Is 100 feet
clear to the first limb. which is twenty
feet in circumference.
Many other trees here are very nearly
as large as this one. and there are 400 in
the grove. Through several Of them tun-
nels have been cut, and a four-horse stage
can go through these tunnels on the run
and never Craze a hub. You get an APP
proach to an adequate idea of their size
by walking off a hundred yards or SO
while the stage is standing at the foot
of tree, and glancing from top to bot
tom, keeping the stage in mind as a
means of comparison. The outfit that
Santa Cluas brought you when you were
a good little boy.
These trees are no longer to be called
the largest in the world, however. A
species of eucalyptus has been found in
Australia as large or larger Emerson
warns us against the use Of the superla-
tive, but when you are In this region OF
the globe, you can't get along without
liberal use of it, He himself says of
Yosemite:-sIt is the only spot have ever
found that came up to the brag. And

bered that some one called Emerson him

The charm of a country wedding is
being felt more and more by the fash
ionabIe world, and there is little doubt
but that the greater number of those
that have places out of town prefer to
celebrate their nuptials there. In the
country there seems to be more of the
spirit of romance and good fellowship
There is a chance for every one to thor
oughly enjoy himself. No matter with
what so7emnity and stiffness the vows
are spoken in the church, the breakfast
at the house is invariably followed by
froiic on the lawn and Verandas, and IN
1t the bride not infrequently joins.
Lately, at a prominent wedding of
Stamford, Conn.,, the breakfast was
served on the lawn, under the trees and
by the lake. The bride, just before leav-
ing her guests, and still in her simmer
ing white gown was surrounded by her
bridesmaids. BY one of them she was

Some Pertinent Questions That Can All
BE Ans wered with One Rpply.

Why is it that in Canton and it's sub
urbs, with a combined population of
$1,000, there is only one medical prep
aration which gives statements from
residents to back up it's representa-
tions? Why is 1t that Doan's Kidney
Pills do this in Canton, as well as in
every other city and town Of any i'm
portance in the Union? Why is it that
there are advertised in every newspa-
per a dozen remedies and only one can
supply local proof, local endorsements
Of its claim? The solution is
the curing and the staying
poower. Other remedies make all
kinds Of gigantic yet futile ef-
forts to get local proof, but the at
tempt ends in producing a statement
or two from places that as far as Can
ton is concerned might as well be in
the moon. Here is Canton proof
which backs up the merits of Doan's
Kidney Pills:
Mr.. ]. ]. Combs. Of No. 247 East
Fourth ST., says: my back troubled
me more or less for several years, but
l would put on magnetic plaster and
would be relieved for the time being.
On one occasion 1 attempted to lift a
step at the front of the house with the
intention of Strengthening 1t and in do
ing so gave my back a severe strain,
and as a result I was entirely used up
and, although I resorted to all my old
time remedies, they failed to do the
slightest good,and 1t kept getting worse
and worse. I had such severe pains
through my back and sides that I could
not take a long breath and could not
lie at night for any length of time. In
fact I could scarcely lie at all unless
on the fiat of my back. Liniments,
plasters or rubbing or anything else
did me no good until my attention was
attracted to Doan's Kidney Pills, and I
procured a box at Durbin, Wright &
Co.'s drug store. I had only taken a
few doses when I felt better and in a
short time the pain was all removed,
and my back felt strong and wen. I
recommend them to all my friends"

TRADING STAMP WAR.
Business Men Repeating the
Scenes Enacted in
Canton.
Special to News-Democrat.


Alliance, Dec. S.-A public meeting
was held in the mayors office last night
in opposition to trading stamps. The
meeting was largely attended by busi-
ness men who have been paying big
sums to the three stamp concerns doing
business in this city. Hon. S. ]. Will
liams presided and Isador Koch was
secretary Of the meeting.
A petition which had been signed by
nearly every business man in the city
was read at the meeting. 1t provided
for the discontinuance Of the use of
stamps on January though a number
of the contracts between business men
and the stamp companies do not expire
until as late as next September. 1t was
formally decided to make an effort to
carry out the provisions of the petition
even though this will necessitate vio-
lation of some contracts.
The movement against trading
stamps has been on for some time and
all but few merchants are trying to
weed them out. 1t is said that the few
who have decided to stick to them are
being advertised extensively at the eX-
pense of the stamp companies who are
reluctant to lose the trade of this city
and will spend lots of money in their
effort to keep it. Representatives of all
the stamp companies are here and are
working like beavers. They say they
are here to stay and intimate that they
have play up their sleeves which will
bring the business men back into line.
From this on there will be war between
business men and the stamp companies
and interesting developments are ex-
pected.
