he FOUND IT.
Partly because Of Good Fortune
and Partly because He was Watch.
Ing and Searching.

When Columbus set sail in search OF
new continent the wise men Of his
time called him an adventurous fool.
Yet he discovered America. You may
say that was an accident. Yes, but
it was the kind of accident that hap.
pens only to men who are looking fol
it. During long professional prac.
tice, DR.. David Kennedy, Of Kingston
N. Y, was continually watching out
for better medicine than any thus
far known for certain complaints.
He could not imagine when or how
he should find it. perhaps (more likely
indeed) he should never find it at all
So he thought. But the right idea
came to HIM finally and the result
was the preparation called Calcura
Solvent. The name means solvent,
or discover of stone, or chalk deposits
in the kidneys or bladder: a remedy
for the cure of gravel, without pain
or danger to the patient, and expel
from the system the uric acid which
causes govt and rheumatism. If it
did no more, DR.. kennedy's discovery
would stand as one OF the most nseful
ones in the history of medicine, but it
is equally effective in complaints Of
digestive organs. 1t is a medicine for
physicians and a medicine for the
people. Be sure about the name

WRIGHT'S REPORT READY.
He Thinks President Roosevelt VIII
Now Take Action.

New York. June Is. -- The Journal
err Wright's report of his inquiry into
the causes and conditions of the an
thracite coal strike is ready to be hand
ed to President Roosevelt. According
to Mr.. Wright, the president will take
speedy action toward ending the strike.
The means he will use will be moral
suasion. and the pressure will be
brought upon the operators and not up
on the miners
Mr.. Wright by his inquiry has come
into possession of a mass Of statistics
which has convinced him that econom-
ic questions are the most potent factor
in the strike. Among his figures he
has statistics showing that out of the
strike of 1900, which was settled by
10 per cent increase Of miners wages,
the operators, who seized the occasion
to increase the cost of coal to the con-
sumner, have reaped far larger benefit
than the miners.
For this reason the operators rather
than tina miners will be the subject of
the pressure of the presidents moral
suasion.' Here are the figures:
Increase in wages, 1901 (mners
estimate) 81 900, 900
Increase in wages, 1901 Operators
estimate) Observation-Disclosures. 5000, 00n
Operators gain in receipts 1901,

price Observation-Disclosures. TO- 900 900
Net gain of operators (miners
estimate) observation-disclosures. 5000, 900
Net gain of operators (by their
own figures) Observation-Disclosures. 1900, 900
Commissioner Wright said that his
report would comprise facts and fig
ures showing the exact cost of the pro-
duction of coal, wages and profits and
that when these facts are in the presi-
dents hand he thought he would act
as public spirited citizen to bring the
controversy to a close.

SIX SITES
Are Now Being
Considered
By the Y.M c. A. Man
agement Committee.
Incorporation Provides That They
May Receive Bequests.

Not less than six options ere now
being considered by the committee in
search of a site for the Y. NJ. G. A.
1t Is stated that subscriptions are com.
ing In in a very satisfactory manner,
and 1t is hoped that the association
Will be able to pay cash when n site
for the building Is finally selected.
This over, plans will be secured at
once, and the establishment of fine
Y. M. G. A. will be matter of but a
comparatively short time.
At recent meeting the articles of in
corporation, which had just been re-
ceived from Columbus, were produced.
The incorporators, Messrs. w. A. Up
ham, U. f. Houriet. $. II. Pitkin, Nath-
an Morse. Il. w. Stuart, j. S. Benner,
b. w. Robinson. A. T. Durant, ]. II.
Miller and +. NJ. Atterholt, form the
committee of management and are
conducting the negotiations for site.
An Interesting feature of the arti-
cles Of incorporation is the fact that
the association may receive bequests,
doing away with the necessity Of GO
ing to court to obtain the authority,
as is done in many cases.
