Al Veteran,s Story.

Bath, N. Y., April l3th.-The first con- sideration of the Commandant and Officers in the conduct of the Soldiers and Sail ors' Home here, is the health of the Vet erans. Kidney Troubles are the most com mon cause of ailment, very few of the old men escaping these in some form or other.
 Of course the comrades do as much as possible for themselves and one of the most popular and useful remedies em- ployed is Dodd's Kidney Pills which seem to be almost infallible in cases of Kidney arrangements Indeed, there are among the veterans, several who claim to owe their lives to Dodd's Kidney Pills.
 For instance, A. k. Ayers, who came to the home from Minneapolis, Minn., was given up by four doctors in that city He had Bright,s Disease and never expected to live through it, but his life was saved and his health restored by Dodd's Kid ney Pills.
 His experience has made the remedy very popular among the men and no one who has used Dodd's Kidney Pills for any Kidney Trouble has been disappointed.

 but of the many who have the happy
 faculty of selecting, enjoying and learn
 ing the real worth of the choicest prod
 ucts. Their commendation. consequently,
 becomes important to others, since to
 meet the requirements of the well tn-

 cially applicable to medicinal agents and
 after nearly a quarter of a century of
 growth and general use the excellent
 remedy. Syrup of Figs, is everywhere
 accepted, throughout the world, as the

 due not only to the excellence of the
 combination of the laxative and carmin-
 ative principles of plants known to act

 scented in the form of a pleasant and re-
 freshing liquid, but also to the method
 of manufacture of the California Fig

 J. F. Wainwright, of the firm of Bones 6 Wainwright, painters and contractors, Pulaski, Va, says: "Four or five times year for the past few years I have suffered with severe attacks of pain in my back, caused from kidney trouble. During these spells I was in such misery from the constant pain and aching that it was almost impossible for me to stoop or straighten, and it really seemed as if the whole small of my back had given away. At times I also had difficulty with the kidney secretions which were dis colored, irregular and scalding, and was also greatly distressed with headaches and dizziness. I used a number of recommended reme- dies but never found anything so successful as Doan's Kidney Pills. When heard of Il em I had an at tack and procured box of them. In few days the pain and lameness dis appeared the trouble with the kid ney secretions was corrected and my system was improved generally. I have every confidence in Doan's Kid ney Pills"

whole for the purpose of considering
the irrigation bill introduced by the
committee on agriculture. Mr.. New
lands addressed the committee on the
merits of the measure and strove to
rush the matter through the House,
one objection was raised to the meas
ure, however, McCarran of Washoe,
who took exception to the wording
ot the first sectin of the bill In TAX
ing the exception Mr.. McCarran stat
ed that he did not rise as opposing the
measure, but that he proposed to stand
for the vested rights of the now ex-
isting water users and water appro-
priators on the various streams of the
State and that he did not favor any
measure of obscure workings wherein
the rights of the old settlers and ex-
listing tax payers should be jeopardis
ed or impaired.
A motion was made to place the bill
on it's third reading and final passage
This motion was opposed by Skaggs
of Elko and McCarran of Washoe,
both gentlemen believing that no great
delay could come by postponing the
passage of the bill until the same was
engrossed properly.
The bill will come up on third
reading and final passage today and
Notwithstanding the determined eff
orts of Mr.. Newlands and others to
rush the matter and present it abso-
lutely free from fault, it will be op-
posed by many members on the floor
and unless the first section of the bill
be changed in it's workings your cor
respondent will cast his vote against
the passage of the measure, believing
that in doing so he is standing for
the security and best interests of the
farmers Gazette.

Population and Property
MILL CITYITE.

1t is generally believed that the
population of the State has increased
since 1900. The increase is principally
attributed to the discovery of rich
mining districts in various parts of
the State, but principally in Alncoln,
Nye, Washoe and White Pine counties.
The reports of County Assessors, how
ever, do not show an appreclable in
crease in the number of registered
voters, but as Tie actual vote in sew
eral counties at the general election
last November exceeded the number
of registered voters reported, it in
dicates carelessness on the part of the
officers.
1t would seem that local pride would
be an incentive to the officer to make
the best possible showing for his
county, especially when the facts war
rant him in doing so. but the statis-
tics indicate that the compilers are
not actuated by sucn a motive, and the
figures are jumbled in a confused mass
regardless of the provisions of the
Statutes, which make it the sworn
duty of the officer to furnish accurate
statements. OF course there are pains
taking assessors, who furnish intel
ligent and comprehensive reports, as
the law requires. but they are excep-
tions to the general rule.
The taxable property of the State
shows a decided increase in the cur
rent year, as compared with the year
1900. Then the total tax valuation
was s24, 4,1S4,559 II; this year it is
s29, ,S09 ,241 go, an inrcease of S5,124,-
6S1 SO. A reduction in the rate of
taxation has been made proportion
ate to the increase in valuation, and
the State tax, formerly 81, is now 80
cents on each $1O0 valuation of tax
property.
