A long time ago we tried to in
duce the council to have the old
Jail in the basement of the city
building cleaned out and fixed up;
and then move the cages from the
present city jail to that basement.
The present building, which is
used for a Jail is very dangerous.
Some man may be roasted to death
in it. Suppose the building should
catch on fire some time when a
prisoner was in one of the cages.
All who are familiar with the stu.
alton know that 1t would be phys
ical imposibility to save the pris-
oner. Marshal Patton and Consta-
BILE Jones tell us that when they
have prisoner in the city Jail over
night they can hardly sleep on &C
account of the danger to the pris-
oner from fire. The cost of clean
ing up the old Jail and removing
the cages would be very small-in
fact the old shack of a building in
which the cages are now located
wonld pay the expense. But mat
ter of few dollars, when it comes
to protection to human life, should
not be considered. If come fellow
should be burned to death in the
present old shack his relatives
would sue the city for about $4,000,

If Mayor Brewster, as the exec.
utive officer of the city, will see to
it that the weed cutting ordinance
is strictly enforced he will receive
the commentator of all the good
people of Baxter Springs. There
are not to exceed a dozen people
in town who will object to the en-
forcement of the ordinance. If
the weeds are kept down in Baxter
Springs for two years they will be a
thing of the past. White clover and
blue grass will take the commons
and Baxter Springs will be a pretty
place to live in. Let's keep the weeds
down. Other towns make crusades
against the weeds. Baxter Springs
should lead-not follow. The ordi.
nance is good one. 1t has been
passed on by good lawyers and
they give it as their opinion that
the ordinance will stand the
test of any court. The ordinance
was passed too late last year to be
of any benefit, but this year il
ought to be enforced right up to
the letter.

TO RECEIVE THE FLEET.
East Lamoine CoaIing Station Being
Put in Readiness.

Ellsworth, Me-, July 15.-The East
Lamoine naval coaling station is being
put in readiness for the reception of
the large fleet of warships, which will
soon arrive to spend some time in
Frenchmans Bay The flagship Kear-
sarge will proceed direct to East La
moline from Portsmouth, England, UNI
der hurry orders, and the remainder of
time.
During the rendezvous of the fleet, it
is expected that the cOaling facilities
will be tested at full capacity and that
the immense coal sheds will be filled
and emptied again in coaling up the
1et. Already the coal is arriving to fill
up the sheds and the work of hosting
it in does not cease, for as fast as one
barge is discharged, another is hauled
up to the pier. The parade ground
about the station is also being put in
readiness for drill and target practice.
The local residents are making an eff
fort to be prepared for the business
which will necessarily come with the
feet, two stores are being erected and
any men not interested in business
there can readily find employment for
a time for large wages.
No doubt there will be excitement up
on the arrival of the Kearsarge, as the
station is to be the terminal of a trip
probably not euualled since the famous
trip of the Oregon during the Spanish
war

Boutin, when arrested, was at his
fathers house, having just returned

IDENTIFY preparing to make his escape.
He was reticient in regard to the rob
berry, and said that the money found in
the safe he had purchased before leav-
ing home was his, and he would show
it to be so in court. Later he made a
confession, saying that a sudden i'm
pulse came over him to rob the safe,
noticing that it had been left open.

robbery had been published until he
arrived in Lewiston and was informed
by the public carriage driver who car
ried him to his fathers house. He says
he would have gone to the police sta
ton and delivered himself up, but the
officers doubt this.
At his home there was an affecting
scene when the officers arrived The
mother fell in a swoon. the father
sobbed like child, and two young sis
tiers wept. The officers have recovered

Alcohol Secretly Added to Liquid Kidney
Remedies.
KDNEY-WORT TABLETS
Jacob Alfonce Passed Kidney Stones for
Years--The Tablets Cured Him.

The most wicked use alcohol was ever
put to is when secretly added to Ii
quid kidney remedies. 1t creates kid
ney diseases and prevents recovery.
A general awakening to this harmful
effect of alcohol in liquid kidney RENE
dies resulted in DR.. Pettingill's Kidney
Wort Tablets (without the drawback of
alcohoD, an acknowledged specific for
all kidney diseases, that is today curing
kidney, liver, bladder and urinary trou-
bles in way no liquid alcoholic RENE
dy ever succeeded in doing.
Why run the risk of chronic kidney
trouble and death by taking a kidney
remedy known to contain a virulent
poison when Kidney-Wort Tablets are
obtainable at every drug store and con-
tain nothing that can interfere with
steady improvement? The Tablets
have never failed to check kidney di-
seases in the young and the old.

In addition, Mr.. Levi said: Some very

THE SHAMROckS RACE.
New Boat Has Only Slight Lead Over
the Old Challenger.

New York, July ia fair sky and a
splendid racing breeze of Is knots
greeted the two Shamrocks when they
left Sandy Hook, early today, for
another trial off the lightship. Part of
the trial was devoted to jockeying
about the Erin, off Scotland Lightship,
to stretch the new boats mainsail. At
ter that Shamrock III led the old boat
a reach from the Scotland to the Sandy
Hook lightship and back, eight miles,
and beat her about a minute and q
half Just before she reached Scotland
lightship returning, masthead run
ner-block on Shamrock III gave way,
but no other damage resulted.
The boats sailed off Sandy Hook I'M
der lower sails only and got into a
brush on the way. The new boat got
the better of it. They reached Scot
land Iightship at Ills and jockeyed
about until 11.45, when Designer Fife
and Mr.. Ratsey went on board Sham
rock III. her mainsail was lowered and
the battens removed. Shamrock III
soon set sail again and at 1885, the two
boats started from Scotland lightship
on broad reach east northeast in a
strong west northwest wind for Sandy
Hook lightship. Shamrock III at the
start did not gain appreciably on the
reach. They turned the lightship as
follows:

Close hauled for the beat back the cup
hunter began to put the yards between
herself and the old boat. Her lee rail
was fairly smoking through the froth
and she was flying over the short chop
at a pretty gait. Nearing Scotland
lightship at LIS, she was about 2 min
utes and 80 seconds ahead of Shamrock
], when the block gave way and the
trial was abandoned.

AS a climax to this cruise there will
occur a steam yacht race for cup
presented by James Gordon Bennett
and named after his new yacht, the
Lysistrata, which will be contested for
off Newport, July "a.
While the racing in the club cruise
will probably be confined almost wholly
to the 90-footers and the smaller
Glasses it is likely that the fleet of
yachts starting down the sound will be
larger than ever before. The fleet will
be augmented at New London by the
squadron of the Eastern Yacht Club
from Marblehead, Mass, which will
participate in the run from that port
by special invitation. This courtesy will
be reciprocated on the part of the Mas
sachusetts club by special race off
Newport, July 25, the day after the
steam yacht race, for all classes of the
New York Yacht Club, suitable prizes
for which have been offered by the
Eastern Yacht Club.
The first run of the New York Yacht
Club will take place, Friday. when the
fleet will proceed to New Haven. On
the following day the run will be to
New London, and after wait over
Sunday the combined fleets of the New
York and Eastern Yacht Clubs will pro-
coed to Newport. After a short run to
Vineyard Haven, Tuesday. and re-
turn, Wednesday, the annual race for
the Astor cup will take place off New
port, July 23. The races for the Ly
sistrata and the Eastern Club cups will
practically bring the cruise of 1908 to
an end.
The official trials will then follow
and the defender of the Americas cup
will then be chosen.

EXPERIMENTS
Learn Things of Value.

Where one has never made the ex-
pertinent of leaving off coffee and
drinking Postum it is still easy to learn
all about it by reading the experiences
of others.
Drinking Postum is a pleasant way
to get back to health. A man of Lancas-
ter, Pa, says: My wife was victim
of nervousness and weak stomach and
loss of appetite for years and was a
physical wreck: although we resorted
to numerous methods of relief one of
which was a change from coffee to tea.
it was all to no purpose.
I'VE knew coffee was causing the
trouble but could not find anything to
take it's place and cure the diseases un-
til we tried Postum Food Coffee. In
two weeks time after We quit coffee
and used Postum almost all of her
troubles had disappeared as if by mag
ic. 1t was truly wonderful. Her ner-
vousness was all gone, stomach trouble
relieved. appetite improved and above
all nights rest was complete and re-
freshing.
This sounds like an exaggeration, as
it all happened so quickly, but we are
prepared to prove it. Each day there
is improvement for the better Tor the
Postum Is undoubtedly strengthening
her and giving her rich red blood and
renewed life and vitality Every par
ticle of this good work is due to Postum
