ported by it, from San Diego, founded
in 1863 to San Rafael, founded in 3S47,
when California was annexed to the
United States. In tie meantime Mexico
had sold the properties of the pious fund
in 1912 and turned the proceeds into the
national treasury, STIMULATING to pay TIE
church authorities per cent interest Oh
the capital sum in perpetuity. When
Upper California was ceded to the Unit
ed States by the treaty Of Queretaro,
Mexico ceased to pay it its portion of the
interest ON the pious fund.
Church authorities made a claim for
these arrears before a mixed commission
organized by the convention Of 1868. Sir
Edward Thornton, the umpire Of the COM
mission, gave judgment against Mexico
for $43, OSO.99 with arrears for twenty
one years amounting in all to 1904, 700.
Since then there have been no pay
ments, and Archbishop Riordan is nov
going before the international court at
The Hague to claim the money which
has piled up since the church authorities
in California obtained their last contri-
button for the pious fund after Sir Ed
ward Thornton's finding in their behalf.

In Bed Three Months.

Oolitic, Ind, Sept. 15th.-Mr. W. A.
Terry, of this place, suffered for
months with very severe case of Kid
ney Trouble.
He was so very bad that he was
almost confined to his bed for three
months.
He tried many medicines, but he
could not get any relief till he COM
menced to use a remedy introduced
here some time ago as cure for Kid
ney Trouble, the name Of which is
Dodd's Kidney Pills.
Mr.. Terry says that the second day
after commencing to use this remedy
he could notice very marked i'm
provement in his condition, and in
short time he was able to go about
again.
He is naturally filed with gratitude
to Dodd's Kidney Pills for the i'm
mense amount of good they have done
him and says:
Il would recommend Dodd's Kidney
Pills to every sufferer from kidney or
bladder trouble, for from my expert
ence am sure they are the best medi-
cine to be had for all diseases Of this
nature

Thirty lives lost and ruin and desola
ton for a distance of more than forty
miles along Lewis river in southwest
Washington near the Oregon border is
the record Of the monster forest fires that
have been raging in Clarke, Cowlitz and
Skamania counties for the last week.
The fire swept through great stretches
Of timber along both sides Of the river
and licked up everything in it's path.
Scores are left homeless, without food or
clothing, and bodies of men, women, chill
dren and animals burned to a crisp dot

been cleared and were occupied by log

Scores of survivors were found by res
cuing parties, without any clothing except

II there is a man In the world who
might restore the placidity of Venice,
which has been SO disturbed by the
IAN OF the Campanile and the precari-
Gus condition Of it's other famous types
OF architecture, he is the new Amed-
can major general who Is shortly to
relleve Chaffee of the Philippine COM
mand. For it was George w. Davis
VINO saved the Washington monument
from destruction, and by the applica-
tlon OF his ingenuity solved funda-
mental problems in his unique, Off
nand manner that had baff1ed the high
est engineering skill Of modern times.
After the great shaft to the father Of
nus country had risen slowly to the
nelght Of 1877 feet and rested there like
rough factory chimney, an unfinished
eyesore for twenty years, Congress de-
termned to complete 1t and gave the
Joo 10 the army. Built ON the edge of
the Potomac marsh, as unstable as the
soil OF the queen of the Adriatic, the

or plumb and nobody could be found
to set it straight and insure it's perma-
nent stability until Davis, lately
quartermaster, then an infantry cap
tain, volunteered to lift the hundreds
OF tons Of masonry back to the perpen-
d1cular and build under it foundation
that would permit the lifting of it's top
to the highest point ever attained by
monument erected by man.
To hold the soft earth in place he
built huge barrel 100 feet in diameter
around the base and drove it deep into
the earth below the tidal level. He
bound together the inclosed mass with
piles and braces, Weighing it all down
with stones and concrete until he had
secured a stability that would endure
forever Then he wedged up the monu-
ment and put an everlasting foundation
under it, and finally turned the work
over to the engineers under Colonel Ca
sey, who eventually set the capstone
555 feet above the earth. Up to this
day the great structure has not moved
a hairs breadth and frequent inspec-
ton demonstrates how wonderfully
Davis planned. But as he cannot be
spared from Manila to save Venice per-
haps it would be as we'll for the Vene-
tians to come to Washington and study
his triumph.-New York Tribune.

the river with only their heads out of
water. Couriers say that only two houses
are left standing along Lewis river for
at least thirty miles, where the country
was thickly settled.
The members of party of refugees
from Whites mill near Centralia found
themselves surrounded by fires, with the
heat almost uncomfortable. Reaching the
stream, they jumped into water and kept
themselves wrapped with wet blankets.
When the fire grew nearer they abandon
ed the stream and went into the center
Of small grotto almost surrounded With
burning timber. Here they had been
preceded by other fugitives, including SIX
bears and many deer and other animals.
The party remained with the animals,
which were no less terror stricken.
Oregon Also Suffers.
About 300 people are left homeless in
Multonomah and Clackamas counties,
Oregon, as a result of the forest fires. The
fires have burned over a wide scope of
country, but the greatest damage\in that
State appears to have been done in these
two counties.

following letter from a father whose
daughter was given up to die by two
physicians:
my daughter has suffered from indi-
gestion for the past five years and has
tried nearly everything that she could
hear of for such trouble. She was con-
fined to her bed when she began taking
Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin and after TAX
ing one ifty-cent bottle she is able to
walk a mile at time and during the
day yesterday walked 3115 miles. I feel
like praising DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pep

daughter could not get well and feel
that she is on fair road to permanent
relief. Respectfully,
