in a confiagration in a fireproof building
in Philadelphia few days since. 1t is,
however, but fair to the architects and
builders to say that it was not the con-

1t is announced that President Roose.
velt's forthcoming message to Congress
will be short, and will be devoted simply
to a general consideration of the state
of the Union, and special treatment of a
few important matters. The report and
discussion of details in the several de-
partments of the government will be left
for the heads of the respective depart
ments to make in their official reports.
Such departure will insure more
careful and thorough reading of the
presidents message by the general pub
lie, and will be much more appropriate
than the old way, in view of the increas-
ing magnitude OF the government and
the multiplicity of details involved.

The long-drawn-out Schley investiga-
ton is nearing it's close, and few will
have any regret when at last our
national linen is withdrawn from public
view. Doubtless the mass of fair-minded
and unprejudiced citizens will accept
the findings of the court as correct. On
the other hand, the extreme partisans on
both sides are already practically an
nouncing that the courts decision will
not be conclusive if it fails TO agree with
their ideas; and the Schley partisans
declare that Schley's friends in the navy
will be promptly made to suffer by being
sent to undesirable stations, etc., at the
instigation of the "conspirators" of the
department who have made all the
trouble for Schley. Such charges are
undignifed, not to say foolish, and fur
nish an additional reason why the gal
liant admiral should pray to be delivered
from his friends.

Gen. Miles is out against the army

This is rather blow for the friends OF
the canteen system, but they are trying
to explain it by saying that probably
Gen. Miles doesn't mean exactly what he
says, and anyway, other army officers

The Pan-American Exposition, which
shut its lights oil for the last time Satur-
day night, has failed to meet its ex-
penses by the considerable sum of
=, 1000, 900. 1t has encountered numer-
Gus obstacles which were not foreseen,
and has not had the patronage which
was anticipated, and to which the mag
nitude and excellence of the exhibition
entitled it. This is the usual financial
result of such enterprises, though in this
case the percentage of loss is larger
than usual. The citizens of Buffalo,
who have carried practically the whole
burden of the enterprise, may have
what consolation there is in knowing
that if it was a failure from the financial
standpoint, from the artistic standpoint
it was a success, also that it has been
productive of incidental and indirect
benefits to their city of material amount.

Cnnldn't Wear Shoes.

Sumpter, H., Sept. 9th.-Mrs. ]. e.
Flanagan, of this place, had suffered
with dropsy for fifteen years. She was
so very bad that for the last three
years she has not been able to wear
her shoes. She had doctored all the
time. but was gradually getting worse.
Last winter Mr. Flanagan, who was
very much discouraged called for
some medicine at Mr.. ]. J. Dales drug
store in Carmi Mr.. Dale persuaded
him to have his wife try Dodds Kid
ney Pills, and he bought six boxes. His
wife used five out of the six. before
she was entirely cured She is now as
sound and we'll as ever she was, com
pletely restored to health, and free
from any symptom whatever OF
dropsy.
To say that Mrs. Flanagan is pleased
at her wonderful deliverance does not
half express her feelings, and she and
Mr.. Flanagan are loud in their praises
of Dodd's Kidney Pills, and of Mr..
Dale for recommending this wonderful
remedy to them.
The fact that Dodd's Kidney Pills
cured Mrs. Flanagan of such a severe
case of dropsy, after the doctors had
given her up. has made them the most
talked OF remedy ever known in White
county.

"Of the 6,107,0O depositors in the
