A NURSE S STORY.
A Graduate of Lakeside Hospital, Lake
Geneva, Tells an Interesting
Experience.

Peshtigo, Wis, Jan. 26, 1901.-(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 a 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 IS a
trained nurse l have often observed
how many different physicians give
their patients Dodd's Kidney Pills in
cases of Diabetes and Kidney Trouble.
About three years ago myself suffered
some months with a weakness and con-
tinual congested condition, and l de-
cided to try what the Pills would DO for
me. I soon found that they built 10
the affected parts and restored har-
mOny 10 the entire system, ana al
though l often lose much sleep and
rest while attending severe cases,
find that / 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.

THE EAST GAINS.
Causes of Changes In Population During
Decade.

In summing up the results of the
last census DIR. Albert Shaw says in
the Review of Reviews: "The period
from 1870 to 1880 was marked by the
great development in population Of the
rich wheat and corn lands that were
still open to settlement under the
Homestead and Presumption laws in
Minnesota, Iowa, Western Missouri and
contiguous regions. In the period from
1880 to 1890 there was rush still
further west into the DaSotas,, Mon
tana, the Puget Sound country, west
ern Nebraska and Kansas, Colorado
and southern California. The period
just ended, from 1890 to 1900, has been
especially marked by the growth of
manufacturing population in the older
states. Thus New jerseys gain OF
80 per cent has been principally due to
the growth of manufacturing towns
and Of the Jersey suburbs OF New
York city. New Ysrk's gain of more
than 20 per cent is accounted for large
ly ny the growth Of the great metropo-
lis at the eastern end Of the state, and
dustrial environs at .he western end.
Northern New England has gained
very little, and would have lost decid-
eddy but for the immigration of French
Canadians and others. Massachusetts
has gained about 20 per cent, which is
evidence enough that her manufactur-
ing prosperity is not thing of the
past. The gain Of little Rhode Island
in ten years has amounted to twice
the population Of the state of Nevada.
Connecticut has now 908, 900 people,
and has gained 10000 in ten years
This growth, like that of Rhode Island
and Massachusetts, is due to manufac-
turing progress. There would seem no
reason in the nature Of things why lit
tie Delaware should not have more
people than lStle Rhode Island; yet
Delaware has not quite $4,000, while
Rhode Island has more than 42S, 1000
Manufacturers make The difference.

Lelth BulIdlnr Great Docks.

Leith, Scotland, will become a porl
of some capacity and trade two years
hence. A suite of docks is in construc-
ton there, which is to cost between
100000 pounds and 100000 pounds
more than was estimated when the
Leith dock commissioners launched
their program. In 1896 seventy-five
acres of the foreshore were reclaimed;
and the dock now near completion is
1900 feet long, with a width Of $50
feet for LOO feet of its length and
$50 feet for the remainder. The dock
walls are forty-four feet high, and
there are to be two pairs Of steel gates,
each weighing close upon 300 tons. To
this equipment 1t has been resolved to
add a craving dock 500 feet long.

Detective spr-Gless on SUITS.

Chief Wilkie of the secret service
has discovered a new use for a well
known instrument Of civil engineering,
the transit which is a sort Of spyglass
on stills. While a government en-
ploye was at work on the new federal
building in San Francisco he noticed
that a man was bringing something
small to a window frequently in a
building about 200 yards away. Bring
ing a transit into play the observer
convinced himself that the man was
at work on bogus money. A secret
service detective was summoned and
he peeked through the transit. Then
he went over and arrested tl1e man
for counterfeiting, making what Chief
Wilkie regards as a most important
capture.
