"There is a certain city down towards
the center of the State of Illinois which
is very proud of its brand new court
house," said travelling man for one
of Chicago's big wholesale houses. II
had to stay over night in that town
one night last week and as I had some
time to kill after supper, I thought I'd
go around and see the new building.
1t certainly is very imposing struc-
ture, built of granite and occupying a
great big square in the center of the
block, with lawns running up from
the street to the different sides of the
building. / found the janitor and he
took me all over the place, turning on
the iRcandescent lights to show me the
handsome frescoes and finishes of the
different rooms. What particularly
caught my attention was the spotless
cleanliness of everything. The mosaic
floors, the quarter-SaWed oak wood
work, the staircaseS, the rotunda rail
ings, the roomy elevators all we're as
bright and free from dust and tarnish
as the proverbial new pin. just fancy
court rooms and offices looking that
way at the ordinary county seat
s'How do you do it," asked the jan
itor. He smiled but said nothing un
til he reached his store room. Their
he showed me whole case of Cole
Dust which he kept in stock. ssThis
washing powder" he said, lis the only
thing that will be used around thi!
place as long as am janitor. have
been doing this kind of work all m.
life and have never had such snal
keeping things clean as since begaI
using Gold Dust. You can imagin,
what job would have here withou
it."

SMITHS NERVE REsroRER.

This medicine is a boon to persons
who, by reason of long residence in
malarial districts, or from overwork,
or debility brought on by long illness,
or general depletion of the system,
or from advancing years, find they
have lost the vigor of their younger
life. To all these we offer Smiths
Nerve Restorer, and guarantee that it
will not only relieve their troubles and
weakness, but will restore them to full
vigor, and enable them again to enjoy
the pleasures of robust early life.

tinental powers. It is stated they are
planning several more powerful war
ships. They are determined to have

HIT DOC HoLIERs."

When sam Jones. the humorous
evangelist made II TOO warm for any
one in his audience, which he often
did,s said citizen yesterday, the
person would often get up and wsik
out of the meeting with an indignant
step. The preacher would stop and
exciaifn. the hit dog always hollers.'
The Astorian's editorial on dogs
Yesterday did not only hit dogs too
numerous to mention but hit some OF
the owners OF worthless dogs. II was
generally commented upon but not al
ways fayorabiy
Owners OF dogs always see some
value In their dogs. 1t matters not how
worthless they may be, and anything
that II calculated to curtaii the lib
erty OF the dogs In the city brings a
storm from some of the dog owners.
"A good dog ID properly appreciated
and the man who keeps a good dog
IL TO be congratulated, but the rank
and file OF the Astoria street dogs are
not worth killing. II the dog license
law was rigedly enforced 1t is possible
that the number Of worthless dogs on
the streets would be decreased"

Speaking Of the men being left on
the barge abandoned at sea by the
tug Sampson. on account OF the tug
having broken her hauser, a prominent
citizen said yesterday that tine pro-
ceeding was remarkable 10 one who
was not In position to know the real
facts connected with the case. After
the tug had severed her hauser, he
says the barge was anchored and
left with three men aboard. Why
these men we're left at the peril Of
their lives he could not understand.
