Geneva, Tells an Interesting
Experience.
Peshtigo, Wis. Jan. 26, 19O1.--(Spe-
cial.)-One OF the most popular nurses
that ever graduated from the Lakeside
Hospital, Lake Geneva, is Miss Lillian
Dreese, of this place. Miss Dreese is
the Vice Templar of the Independent
Order of Good Templars, and organist
of the Rebeccas of Peshtigo During her
twelve years experience as trained
nurse she has had many opportunities
for observation and her opinion in all
medical health matters is held in very
high esteem by the thousands who
have learned to know and love her. In
speaking of her experience she says:
During my twelve years as q
trained nurse | have often observed
how many different physicians give
their patients Dodds Kidney Pills in
cases of Diabetes and Kidney Trouble.
About three years ago myself suffered
some months with weakness and con-
tinual congested condition, and | de-
cided to try what the Pills would do for
me. soon found that they built up
the affected parts and restored har-
mony to the entire system, and al
though often lose much sleep and
rest while attending severe cases, l
find that l was never in finer health
nor had more endurance than since l
have used these marvellous Pills"
Clergymen say they are good, Sena-
tors and Congressman have added their
evidence as to the wonderful curative
properties OF this Medicine. hundreds
Of physicians recommend them and use
them in their daily practice. The most
skilled trained nurses advise their use
and use them themselves, while tens OF
thousands of sick and suffering people
are being cured every day by Dodd's
Kidney Pills.. They should cure you.
They will cure you. Try them.

Until a few years ago Fort Smith, on the Western edge of our State, Arkansas, was the hanging center of the universe.

 Socially Dead.
 Socially Washington is dead. All the great houses are closed and their owners are scattered over the watering places, mountains and other resorts of the states or in Europe. The President and Mrs. Mckinley, around whom the whole so- cial system revolves from the great for eign ambassadors, like my Lord Paunce- fote, down to the lowest on the list, are in probably the least pretentious retreat of all, but to thein the most desirable ana attractive, the cozy Canton home, which for so many years has been the Mecca of Republican politicians. And yet we have a lot of chatter about imperialism But if Washington Is dull now in thls awful heat, it promises to be next winter the gayest city on the continent. Then with the meeting of the new Congress, the second term of the President Tn an executive. legislative and social point or view will really begin. Announcements are already made of what may De ex- pected. It is said for instance, that in the splendid establishment of Mark Han na the entertainment will be on scale or magniflcence such as the capital has not seen in many year. By the politicians this social campaign of the Hannas IS re- garded as the beginning of the political campaign that the Senator intends 10 make for the Presidency in 1904.
 Although the names of nearly forty thousand pensioners were stricken from the rolls by death during the past tWeiVe months. there still remains a great army of 997, ,S34 persons who are each drawing an annual stipend from the treasury on account of the civil war. The pension ex- &f tration for the year ending June 3O, were $138. .531, ,494, an increase of nearly seventy million dollars over the disbursements Of the previous year. During the same pe- riod 4305 new names were added to the pension lists. The meaning of these hg- ures is that nearly one person In seven of the entire population is, more than a generation after the war of the rebellion ended drawing a pension on account of it. It Is a tremendous burden on the peo- pie, but it Is the price of the preservation of the Union, which was priceless. The Spanish war carries with it another pen- sion legacy that Is likely to be of not in- considerable proportions. During the year nearly 46.0O0 claims were filed on ae- count of disabilities incurred in that con- test about 1000 of which were allowed and an equal number rejected Pensions are still being paid on account of the | Mexican war. When will the last pen | sioner of the civil war pass over to the great majority of those to whom he or she belonged? The answer is beyond human ken.
