BILL FOR RIVERS
 AND HARBORS LATE
IT WILL NOT BE REPORTED TILL FE5RuARY-WILL CARRY AN APPROPRIATION IN EXCESS OF LAST ONE.

Washington, November A-(Special.- Representative Burton of Ohio, who will head the rivers and harbors committed in the new Congress. said today 1t will probably be in February before his com mittee's bill is introduced.
 From the middle of next month until the latter part of January hearings will be given by the committee to delegations asking for rivers and harbors improve ments. The bill. as passed by the House in the last Congress, carried about $23,- OOoOOO. Owing to delays resulting from the failure of the bill the new measure will be in excess of this amount. If the President has been correctly quoted as favoring the irrigation of Western lands. and decides to recommend the commence ment of this new feature of public im- proyements in his message to Congress. there will hardly be any limit to the amount carried by the bill.
 Members of the rivers and harbors committee will for this reason oppose placing irrigation appropriations in a rivers and harbors bill It is a big prop osition, involving millions of dollars and there seem to be a general feeling that 1t should receive special attention, and. If deemed sufficiently meritorious to war rant an appropriation, a special bill

 REBUILD THE KIDNEYS.

Any kidney or bladder trouble is seri- ous one and should have early and right attention. The kidneys are slow to yield to disease and when they do, overwork Is the usual cause An affected kidney is an exhausted one, impure blood has weak ened 1t; the remedy needed is one that will restore strength and rebuild the kid ney itself. This Dr. Harter's Iron Tonic will do. It has been doing it for forty five years and no other remedy has ever been held in such universal favor.
 The kidneys filter impurities out of the blood. When the blood Is bad the kidneys get ciogged with these poisons. Dr. Har- ter's Iron Tonic cures by neutralizing the impureties, by hastening their expulsion, by building up the tissues of the kidneys and by giving these organs more strength and activity. While 1t is curing kidney and urinary troubles it is also repairing all the delicate machinery of the body.
 This is the best of all tonics. It does everything that any ordinary tonic can do and very many important things that other remedies cannot do. Nor can 1t do less, and can be given to support the strength and to hasten the cure of any invalid. young or old Ordinary iron sometimes harms. but the iron in Har- ter's Tonic is in such form that 1t does no ham. It enriches the blood, strength ems the stomach, and aids digestion. Made by Dr. Harter Medicine Company. Day ton. ohss. Sold everywhere.

 MT. Williams strengthened and in creased the fine impression he made on his first appearance by his rendering of 'Cujus Animam. No such superb tenor singing has been heard in this region for years. The frank honesty of his work. it's certainty its tunefulness and the innate artistic power which delight fully characterizes it render 1t impossi- ble to write about 1t except with un- stinted enthusiasm. The piaudits that followed when the effort was over were deafenirg' 54
 The festival chorus will assist in the coming concert. and altogether the open- ing night of the Choral Society promises to be a great event.
 Eight reserved seats at the two con- certs and at the two entertainments of the spring festival can now he secured by the payment of five dollars in ad- vance. This is a great offer This means eight seats to hear at least six great stars, besides the Theodore Thomas Chi cago Orchestra. No lover of fine music can afford to disregard this offer.
