SAVED THE BABY.

New Providence, Iowa, July 7th.-
Little Helen Moon, the three-year-old
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. E. v. Moon,
of this place, had narrow escape
from death.
Her mother noticed she seemed to
be very clumsy and complained when
she was rocked. Her limbs and face
were bloated badly.
A doctor was summoned but she
got no better. He said she had Kid
ney Trouble in the worst form.
Two other doctors were called in
and they agreed that there was very
little, if any, hope. She was bloated
all over, her eyes being completely
closed and her abdomen bloated un-
til it was purple.
They bought six boxes of Dodd's
Kidney Pills and she commenced to
improve at once. She had used nine
boxes before the Dropsy was all
gone. The treatment was continued
and now she is as well as ever.
Dodd's Kidney Pills certainly saved
the little ones life.

A Joke ON THB PREACHER.
nut 1t Proved q Little Expensive ts
the Funny Fellow Who
Played It.

"Out in a Colorado town." said
Representative Shafroth to a party
of colleagues in the cloakroom, ac-
cording to the Washington Post,
there was a hotelkeeper who liked
to play poker, and also went to
church with his wife on Sunday. One
morning, when the plate was passed,
he had nothing in his pocket except
penknife and round bit of cellu-
Ioid marked with the figure s.
Thinking to have joke on the par
son, he put the poker chip in the.
plate.
"T fooled the preacher this morn,
ing he remarked to his wife when.
they reached home.
''The next morning the preacher
came around to see the hotelkeeper.
Brother Smith, he said, Il noticed
you put this chip in the contribution
plate yesterday. Does the figure
stand for five cents or $5?'
Five dollars, of course answered
the hotelkeeper.
""Thank you, Brother Smith, said
the preacher, and will you redeem
it this morning?'
There was nothing else for the
hotelkeeper to do except to shell
out his SIS into the preachers hand.
And, Wien he told his wife that night
what had happened, it did not seem
funny at all.'

Warning Again.t Hawaii.

King ST., Honolulu, Hawaiian islands,
writes: 81 would like to see an arti-
Gle published in the National Trib-
une in regard to old soldiers coming
down here where there is nothing
for them to do in order to make a
decent living, thus becoming bur-
len on the community to the injury
to our post, which is small and has
all it can do to take care of its own
members, when the same comrades
can be well cared for in soldiers
homes in America. Common labor
ers here must compete with Chinese
and Japanese who live on about ten
tents per day. Even skilled labor
has to come in competition with
them in many ways. 1t is a notori-
Gus fact, and one upon which a
great many unfavorable comments
have been made, that there is now
| being work done at the naval station
here by japanese simply because
they are cheap.'-National Tribune.

King Edward did not introduce
perityphlitis as a new disease, al
though it is doubtful if one out of a
1000 people ever heard of such dis
ease before he was stricken with it.
The fact is, however, that perityphli-
tbs is an old disease in Kansas. Jo-
seph Hodge, of Wellington, had it Is
years ago. He was not operated up
on either and he lives to tell the
story.

How They Bleed the Counties.

It has been reported to the attor-
ney general that bridge trust is
operating in Kansas. 1t is alleged
that this trust is composed of a num-
Der of companies which have been
erecting bridges on the country roads
in the state. There are five or six
of these companies and they have APP
portioned the bridge building terri
tory among them. When a county
calls for bids for bridges the COM
panies permit the company to which
the bridge building right in that
county belongs to submit the lowest
bid. If the county calls for bids by
Representatives of the companies in
person the amount of the low bid is
increased sufficiently to pay the ex-
penses of all agents.

Silver was quoted in New York at
521a cents per ounce a few days ago,
but there is reaction that may bring
the price back to 60 cents or better.
A scare over the selling by the Chinese
government of large amount of silver
was the cause of the big decline. The
heather Chinee is responsible for
many of the ills with which the wes-
tern Americans are afflicted, but this is

1t is rumored that there will be more
candidates in the field for delegate to
congress on the democratic side than
ever before in the history of the party
in the territory. Mark Smith is a can.
didate and so is his rival of two years
ago, Col. j. Frank Wilson. E. E Ellin,
wood will probably go into the race
aud IL he does he will be supported by
host of warm personal friends
throughout the territory. Ellinwood
is one of the brigheat men in the party
and Is held In warm remem brance
from Utah to Mexico and from Cali
fornia to New Mexico. If he gets the
nomination we would be almost per
suaded to get ont and forget our pro-
mise not to get into politics again.
John G. Herndon is one of the men
that ought to receive recognition at the
hands of the party for any office to
which he might aspire. He is whole
souled, honest and capable, qualities
not often found in the politician
Frank Cox is another, and Col.
Breathitt another of the southern men
mentioned for the office of delegate.
Aud there are many others under the
rose, who are just awaiting the sound
of the drum and the dropping of the
flag to put them in the running. They
can't all become candidates on the
same ticket and if any of the weak
ones receive the nomination the elec
tion is almost sure to go to the repub.
licans.
