The New School Building.

Since the City Council refused to give to the City School Board any aid in erecting the greatly needed building on the lot corner of Dallas and Washington Street the general idea has been current that the project had been abandoned of erecting the building at this time. Such is not the case though these having the affair in hand believe they will materi- ally have to modify their plans.
 The original plans called for an eight room building and an up-to-date modern structure was to be erected. But failing to get assistance from the City Council, the Board has about decided to erect a four or six-room structure so arranged that the rest of the rooms can be added on in five or six gears or as soon as the money Is forthcoming
 There have been in the city for the past few days two gentlemen from Bir- minghaT. we'll known contractors of that city, who have been closeted with the Building Committee of the School Board and they are preparing figures to show what the unfinished building will cost.

But if You Have Kidney, Liver or Bladder Trouble, You Will Find Swamp-Ro0t
 Just the Remedy You Need.

It used to be co nsidered that only urin- ary and bladder troubles were to be traced to the kidneys, but now modern science proves that nearly all diseases have their beginning in the disorder of these most important organs.
 The kidneys filter and purify the blood that is their work.
 Therefore, when your kidneys are weak or out of order, you can understand how quickly your entire body Is affected. and how every organ seems to fail to do it's duty.
 If you are sick or feel badly" begin taking the famous new discovery, Dr. Kilmer's Swamp Root, because as soon as your kidneys are well they will help al, the other organs to health. A trial will convince anyone.

Won BUELOW FACES CRISIS.
His Fight With the AErarians May
Mean Downfall.

BERLIN February "a preponderance
of press and public opinion seems to un-
questionably support the imperial chancel-
lor, Count Won Buelow, in resisting the de-
mands of the landed aristocracy for an in
crease in the tariff above the rates pro-
'Fided in the new bill. The discomfort OF
this powerful section of the government S
supporters adds to the difficulties of the
chancelors position and naturally causes
some gossip in the reichstag lobbes to the
effect that if the bill fails Won Buelow's
chancellorship will be discredited before the
country and the emperor.
The correspondent of the Associated Press
is informed that the ministry has taken it's
stand against the agragrians after the most
careful examination of the situation and
with the conviction that the country Will
support it. Nothing will be done without
the emperor's fullest knowledge. The min
istry is determined in no case to accep.
higher agricultural duties than the bill de-
signs. A further statement to this effect
will be made at an opportune moment.

RESUMPTION POSTPONED.
The Chilean Governments Resources
Not Enough for Redemption

Secretary Hay has received from United
States Minister Wilson at Santiago Chile
copy of a law recently passed by the
Chilean congress to take effect January l.
1902, which provides for the postponment
of the resumption of specie payments until
January 1, 1905. Mr.. Wilson states that
President Riescos government, after thor
ough consideration and deliberation, decided
that it had not at command resources suf-
dctent to resume specie payments just yet
and it, therefore, proposed a law to the
Chilean congress which, while confirming the
intention of Chile to meet her obligations in
gold. defers for three years the date on
which the law, framed in 1898. will become
operative. The minister says that very lit
tie, if any, disturbance has resulted from
the legislation, as it has been recommended
by the financial interests of the country
and its enactment had been foreseen for
some time past.
1t is stated that, during the discussions
growing out of the consideration of this
law. not a single argument was offered in
behalf of the unsound financial policies so
largely prevalent at the time of it's enact.
ment. The advocates of cheap money and
unlimited government issues. the minister
says, seem to have disappeared from con-
gress, and, as represented in congress to-
day, Chile is absolutely a sound money
country.

PRACTICALLY SETTLED.
That Gen. Young VIII BE President of
the Army War College.

the Army War College.
Although no detail has been made, it is
practically settled that Maj. Gen. s. B. NJ.
Young, commanding the department of Cal
ifornia, will be the first president of the
Army War College to be established at
Washington barracks soon as Congress
provides the necessary funds. The Secre-
tary of War has approved plans for the
necessary buildings for the college and the
Improvement of the grounds, involving an
estimated expenditure of about 81 100000.
He has asked Congress to make the neces-
sary provisions at the present session so as
to permit the beginning of the work at
once. 1t is proposed that the War College
shall bear the same relation to the army
that the existing Naval War College at
Newport does to the navy. The project
was fully outlined by the Secretary of War
in his last annual report to the President.
Gen. Young is a member of the army
post board, which has just concluded it's
sessions in this city. In of his as
signment to permanent duty at Washing
ton in connection with the new war COL
lege it is likely that Maj. Gen. Macarthur,
commanding the department of Colorado
at Denver, will be transferred to San Fran
cisco in command in the more important
department of California.

BAD MIDDLE IN WYOMING,
All the Work of Last Legislature said
to he Invalid.

CHEYENNE Wyo., February 5.-The
discovery has been made that every law
enacted by the last legislature which met
a year ago. is invalid for the reason that
the bills were not read and recorded prom
erly in the lower house. Among the laws
passed and whose validity is now uues-
tened were the apportionment act, the new
jury law and an act licensing gambling.
The matter probably will be referred to
the state supreme court and possibly the
tangle can only be Strengthened out by an
extra session of the legislature. Governor
Richards is now in South America, and an
extra session cannot be called until his re-
turn, about May 1.
