ly should be some curtailing of the
Imperial powers of the president or he
will be King before we are aware. he
is indeed almost so now. When these
issues are we'll presented it will be time
to stop. If we have any more that we
wish to do, let's keep it to ourselves.
don't give our whole scheme away. Do
as the Republicans did on the money
question, let the platform be silent,
but when we get chance pass the bills
we want. They can't complain be-
cause we have their illustrious exam
pie of saying one thing and doing an
other, also of not saying anything, but
grabbing everything in sight at first
chance. As for adopting again the
Chicago platform it would be foolish
to do so, not that every plank in the
platform is not sound, but because
every convention should write its own
platform. If exactly the same body
of men met this year that met four
years ago it would be consistent to dc
30, but az this cannot be, let this con-
vention write its own platform, and
fght its battle on it.

Kidney trouble causes quick or unsteady
heart beats, and makes one feel as though
they had heart trouble, because the heart is

troubles were to be traced to the kidneys

all constitutional diseases have their begin

Wooden Magnates in Va.

The Virginia Wooden Company, of
which w. H. Crawford Of this city is
president and organizer, held lengthy
meeting in Winchester, which resulted in
a contract being awarded to James N.
Darr, for the erection of two-story brick
structure to be used as the plant.
Messrs Crawford and Dunn transacted
more business than that while in Win
chester, however. A deed was recorded
in the Frederick County Clerks Office
transferring the Shady Elm Wooden
Factory" at Bartonsville, from the Craw-
ford Company to M. B. Dawes.
The price paid for the building was
$1,000, which. however, includes only the
factory building and surrounding grounds.
The Crawford Wooden Co. reserves all
the machinery
This company has been operating a
wooden factory at Bartonsville since last
December. having purchased it from w.
O. Nicklas. II employed about twenty
hands.
The Crawford Company decided that
the water power was insufficient and that
the mills were situated too far from a
market This, with the fact that MI.
Crawford is interested in so many other
mills, induced the company to sell out.
The machinery will likely be used in the
mills to be started in Winchester.
