The SearchIight of Publicity is
Pleasing Ellsworth Peope.

Publicity is what the people want
Let the public speak on the subject
There has been too much claIm-too lit
tie proof
Claims made by strangers are not proof
Claims endorsed by strangers are not
proof.
There is only one kind of proof for an
Ellsworth citizen,
The experience of people we know
WI hen friends and neighbors endorse,
Make public statement of their case,
There can be no question about such
evidence.
This is the proof we have,
hich backs every box of Doan's Kid
ney Pills.
No other kidney pills, no other kidney
remedy can produce such proof.
Here IS one case OF the many we have
MIR. John Chapman, of Spring street,
near Birch avenue, says; Twelve years
ago hurt myself lifting some very heavy
boards. When letting them down | felt
snap in my back as if something had
given way For weeks after that could

had been paid ten dollars. / had kidney
trouble afterwards and have been so lame
in the back that it was hard to get around.
AT times 1t was so painful that | was in
misery and at night was annoyed with a
urinary weakness which prevented me
from sleeping well. | spent dollar upon
dollar trying to be cured but l remained
about the same. My wife saw an account
of Doan's Kidney Pills in one of the BAN
gor papers which impressed her so that
she went TO Virgins drug store and got
box and insisted on me using them. l am
glad that l did for they proved to be
suitable remedy for my complaint and

IN SOUTH AFRICA.


The serious defeat Of the British by
the Orange FREQ State Beers at Storm
berg. as reported from London, Is
check upon the advance for the relief Of
General Methuen at Modder river, and
the eventual invasion OF the Free State
Republic Once more a British force
has walked into trap cleyerly laid
ana as cleverly concealed, with the
most disastrous results As usual,
Il IS feared that the hrsi reported list
Of dead and wounded viii be materially
increased by later reports. It Is also
feared that the enemy obtained pos
session Of valuable guns and other
equipment.
General Methuen is now forced to re-
main IN his camp at Mol1er river. The
Beers under General Cronje are In
trenchlng themselves strongly on the
opposite side, at spytfontein. where
they apparently VIII dispute his adj
vance toward Kimberley, and the long
er the battle at this point can be de-
layed. the stronger must be the attack
ing force, and the more sangulBary VIII
be the conflict.
But the most serious consequence OF
the enlightenment at stormberg is It's pos
sible effect upon the Beers IN that part
Of Cape colony. Many OF them are
thought TO be hesltating as 10 what
side to take in the conflict. These may
decide 10 go on the warpath against
the British. and the empire would then
have a rebellion to meet ip addition TO
regular war OF no small proportions.
In addition to the discoufaging news
OF Gen. Gatacre's misfortune at Storm
berg the report Is now current that
some Of the oolored tribes are taking
up arms against the Beers. This has
been predicted and dreaded from the
beginning OF the war. It has been feared
by those who know something Of such
warfare, because OF the savagery and
carnage that would most likely ensue
The hopes at flrst entertained OF a
speedy termination Of the war appear
to be fading away as the conflict pro-
ceeds, and visions Of long campaign
with appalling loss Of NE and destruc-
ton Of property arise on all sides. The
British seem 10 be forced to advance
slowly and in comparatively small col
umns. The Beers appear 10 be able to
meet them separately and 10 cripple
them.
The war in South Africa is IN every
respect peculiar one. The Beers are
praying. as If they could place no rell-
ance IN powder and shell, aud they are
fighting as II believing IN nothing but
weapons OF war. There was. perhaps
not another such Spectacle on the bats
tleneld since Gustaeus Adoiphus landed
with a few thousand warriors on Ger
man soil and bid defiance to the then
mightest ruler OF Europe.

To show the difficulty Of dealing with
such a Subject it 10 necessary only 60
refer TO the conditions upon which the
increase in our foreign trade may b.
largely attributed. An Inspection OF
the statistics shows that that increase
has not been attended by a rise Ga
prices. Throwing out the metals, which
have risen all over the world equally,
80 that our metal production enjoys no
advantage IN respect % prices, our vast
IS increased volume. 9i.xDorts has b.. =

reason that has enabled ia 10 DO this
there can De no doubt that Il Is mainly
found In the economy OF production due
90 the tcust organization Of scores q
our leading Industries. SO we have on

ID a later outbreak was also traced 10
a dairy farm. In Japan and India the
disease IL very rare, because childrcn
are reared on artificial lactation. Dur
ing one epidemic Of scarlatlna, Mr.. Hall
says. It was proved that out Of $40
cases Of the disease, 4g3 occurred among
a population Of about 1900 persons US
ing milk from a certain suspected dairy
while only 90 cases occurred out q
population Of 1900, where milk from
other doirles was used. In one family
thre children fed on the milk from a
certain COW were taken Sick while an
other child fed on milk from another
animal escaped, There Is no doubt Il
is said, that tuberculosls and scarla-
tina can in this way BE transferred
from TIE cow to human beings, Author
tiles are quoted on this point
ut has been clearly demonstrated
that milk may Of itself be- diseased as
the product ~ a diseased animal. Foot
and mouth disease, MS Is well known, Is
transmlssible from quadruped TO man.
So Is tuberculosis. During recent years
several outbreaks Of scarlet fever and
dlnhtherla have been due TO milk sup
ply
The annual milk constipation Is
enormous. and too much attention can
not b. given 10 the absolute purity OF

Present tendencies are such as must
further inhame the granger element
against the combinations. The prices
Of agricultural staples like wheat and
corn are falling, the price 81 wheat now
being close 20 where 1t was In the days
Of greatest agricultural depression prior
90 1896. But prices for what the far
mer has 20 buy are high and still ad-
vancing, and in nearly every case a
trust Is In greater OF less control OF
the industry. Farm implements q
nearly all kinds nails. lumber. tinware,
clothing, twlne. oil. and no end Of ar
ticles entering into the consumption OF
the agriculturist, are quoted at much
higher prices than for many years back,
aud wherever he looks through the long
list he almost invariably can ind q
combination Of corporations organized
60 monopolize production and control

SMOKED COFFEE.


Coffee drinkers should notice the
pleasant fact that the plague ship, that
some time ago landed IN New York has
valuable cargo OF coffee from Brazil
and that, according to New York pa
pers. state Health Omcer Doty has de-
cided that II may be landed.
The president Of the city board OF
health opposes this decision, and II he
Is sustained. the coffee will not be land
ed in the city Of New York, but the
state officer having found It harmless
there can be no objection TO unloading
Il IN some other place in that state.
The coffee. Il seems has been thor
oughly smoked with sulphur, and the
knowledge Of that circumstance should
act as an appetizer for 1t. Coffee smoked
with sulphur would presumably be a
novelty on The market

that they are almost certain to get, at

man Is virtually powarless to see 60 Il
that the government is properly adj
ministered throughout the vast empire,
as long as Of necessity government OFF,
ces must be given, In many instances,
60 blgoted ienoamuses who imaglne
Themselves the lords Of the universe. II
is also easily understood that The Turk
,sh government. with It's poor financial
resources. must postpone as much as
,ossible claims for damages by for
elgn governments on account OF che
numerous blunders committed by pet
ty officers
stll this country cannot afford 70 be
too easy going In such matters IN that
part Of the world. The stars and
strlpes should De made to be as much
respected as The Union Jack and the
Tricolor 1t would not be bad to send
an Imposing American squadron 90 the
eastern parts Of the Mediter-
ranean with instruction 20 pay
fhshdly visit to some Of The
most important ports, and in
cldeaally 90 add emphasis TO re-
new,i demand for the payment O; al
reasonable claims. This would raise
our aag and nation Immensely In the
esgnatlon Of The Ottoman government
asi undoubtedly all The pashas and
kilmakafs o. the realm would receive
lrupctlons TO respect the stars and
slpes.
The matter Is OF some importance for
he reason that this Republic has now
some Mohammedan subjects TO take
care Of In all probability the Sultan
Iof sulu recognizes IN some way the au-
thorlties established at the Turkish
capital, and for that reason the power
and influence Of our government should
be known throughout the Mohammedan
worl1. That may cave a rebellion
when later the work % reformation Is
to commence among The subjects Of the
Sultan OF Sulu.
