the strictest order prevailed. The

for the vast throng which waltxed
and marched to the splendid music
provided. s
The banquet was served from II p
m. to 3 a. m. 1t was undoubtedly
the finest feast ever spread In Rath-
drum. The long tables extending
the entire length of the banquet room
were covered with snow white covers,
and loaded with all the delicacies of
the garden. the farm and the orchard
and beauiified with boQuets of lovely
flowers. Ice cream was served, with
cake donated by the ladies. Chicken
was also In abundance, and every pre-
pared Wand testified to the pre-emi-

drum. The banquet committee de-
serves the highest credit for the sue
cessful manner In which they con-
Quoted their part of the event. The
number Of persons who partook Of the
banquet Is estimated at 500.

Our Public Roads.

The question OF the Public Roads
in st. Mary's is occupying a large
share Of attention and is certainly a
matter Of prime Importance. There
is nothing that so booms communi-
~ as good roads Every week
hOne-seekers are coming here and
if they find good roads il is a great
inducement for them To buy aud set
tie in the county. Every property
owner and every citiven is interest
ed and should give his best thought
To q subject SO calculated toadvance
the material prosperity of the old
county.
Ii may be regarded as a settled
point that gravel, properly applied,
is the best thing available for the
permanent Improvement of our coun-
ty roads. This being conceded, the
next thing to be considered is Sc
curing the gravel and applying it.
The sub soil OF our roads is clay.
The top soil freezes to about the
depth of twelve inches during very
severe Winters When gravel is
applied the road bed remains good
for time, but when a frozen road
thaws out the top dressing of gravel
sinks TO the solid earth. This is not,
however, an unmixed evil, for it
mSkes firmer aud better fouuda-
ton under the piece of read 10 build
on, and if gravel is again applied, q
good and permanent road is secured.
The question is how to get gravel
for the roads About the best plan
We have heard of is in use in some
OF the Missouri counties and may be
summarized as follows: In every
levy for road purposes set aside so
much money for gravcling the roads;
pay the farmers living along the line
OF the road 50 much per yard for
every load of gravel dumped along
side the road at places designated
by the road engineer, and let the
road gangs spread the gravel when
at work on the roads. This is not
submitted as a perfect system but is
mentioned as asystem that has given
sections of similar geological forma-
tion to this, good, hard, lasting
roads. The road system is under
and from an interchange
of ideas some good may result. Let
us work for good roads.

"ASHANo1oNs september 10, lN8.
1t has been the opinion of the ma
jority of mankind that there was
very little difference between twee-
dledum and tweedledee, butt seems
there is considerable difference so
far as this republican administra-
ton is concerned. For instance;
Several months ago divers military
and naval officers stationed in Porto
Rico were charged with smuggling
not only charged with it, but
caught with the goods, to use the
slang of the day. The officers them
selves did not deny it. The United
States district attorney for Porto
Rico, at the request of the collector
of customs, Instituted prosecutions
against the official smugglers. The
case was perfectly plain and the
result would have been in no doubt
had the case gone to trial It did
not 60 trial. however. Peremptory
orders came from the Department of
Justice at Washington todiscontinue
the prosecutions. and when the fede-
raj Judge at San Juan undertook 20
~ftsCtHN - cPO<tSA prosecutor I'd L1kG
charge OF the cases he too was warn
ec of and told il would be better for
his official scalp not to get too busy.
The whole affair was dropped. But
things seem to be different over in
our Philippine possessions. At
least, the cable brings theintelligencs
that Captain Harry b. Chamberlain
has been tried by the court OF Gus,
toms and sentenced to pay a fine of
5000 for smuggling, though the arti.
cles Struggled were addressed 10
prominent military officers and
their families, resident at Manila.
There was no hulabaloo at Washing
ton. No orders went out to '.smo-
ther the case agai INST Captain Cham
berlain. He takes his medicine.
Ii would be interesting to know
why this difference 'twixt Porto
Rican tweedledum and Philippine
tweedledee. At a venture il might
be surmised that there are NO sena-
toriAl sons-in law in the smuggling
business at Manila.

In the early days of the movement
Rev. DIR. Clark drew up the follow
ing. a good thing to repeat today for
the benefit of the younger generations:
First.-The Society of Christian En-
deavor is not and is not to be an organ
iZation Independent of the church 1t
is the church at work for and with tine
young and the young people at wC.k
for and with the church In all that
we do and say let US bear this in mind
and seek for the fullest cooperation Of
pastors and church officers and mem
bers in carrying on our work. The So
ciety of Christian Endeavor can al
ways afford to wait rather than force
itself upon an unwilling church.
Second--Since the societies exist in
every evangelical denomination, the
basis of the uniop of the societies is
one of common loyalty to Christ, com
mon methods of service for Him and
mutual Christian affection rather than
doctrinal and ecclesiastical basis.
In such union all evangelical Chris
tians can unite without repudiating OF
being disloyal to any UNCONVENTIONAL
custom or tenet.
Third.-The purely religious features
OF the organization shall always be
paramount. The Society Of Christian
Endeavor centers about the prayer
meeting. The strict prayer meeting
pledge" honestly interpreted as ex-
perience has proved, is essential to the
continued success of a Society of Chris
tan Endeayor.
Fourth.-The Society of Christian En-
deavor sympathizes with temperance
and all true moral reforms. with wise
philanthropic measures and especially
with missions at home and abroad
Yet it is not to be used as conven-
fence by an organization to further
ends other than its own.

"The statement / made in 1897 about pro-
curing Doan's Kidney Pills at wiggin &
Moore's drug store and taking course Of
the treatment, which stopped an attack
OF bsckache, many of which had suffered
from for Ave years, was not only sbso-
lutely true, but it has had my approval
since. was told years ago that l had
catarrh of the kidneys, and the dull drag
ging constant pain in that neighborhood
showed that there was intense inhamma-
tion il not catarrhal condition. Deans
Kidney Pills, as said above, stopped the
severe attack. Since then when symptoms

appealed to the medicine en- more thah
