More Dam Trouble.

AS lntimated in another issue OF
this paper, Judge Sutherland is
again getting busy over the build
ing of the dam across Fall river. All
Fredonia he applied for another re
straining order because the building
of the dam was, as he said, more
than seven feet high. Carter &
kirkpatrick for the city contended
that the dam was not being made
more than seven feet, and the judge
refused to grant the restraining or
der, but made an order 'admonish
ing the city not to build it ovel
seven feet high. After that Garter
& kirkpatrick asked for the judge
to allow the city to amennd its peti
ton for condemnation by making it
so that the dam could be built eigh
feet high instead of seven feet
That will have the same effect as
beginning new condemnation pro
ceedings.
The controversy between the at
torneys for the city and Young and
Sutherland was whether a seven
foot dam meant one that would be-
gin at the river bed or begin at the
low water mark.-Neodesha Regis

AS We Supposed.

We n )tice in the issue of the
Blad. of last Saturday morning that
brilliant Democratic lum'nary

trouble with the colored people of
this city into political capi'dl. Our
understanding of the move is that
there is nothing political in the
matter, that the school boafd
decided 1t was simply for the pest
interests of our schools and the In
dividual pupils.
This effort of the Democratic
press in this city TO predJudice the
corored voter against the Republl-
can party cannot carry mucn
weight with it when 1t is well known
that there are enough Democratic
nsnhers of the school board tc
have defeated the measure nae

inc Of the matter is the Democratic
uemhers were the enthusiastic ad
,oo,tes Of the measure and tha

Facts as to Tin Plate.

Importations of pig tin, into the
Uuited States in the past year were
larger than in any preceding year
The statistics of the years imports
as presented by the Department OF
Commerce and Labor through its
Bureau of statistics, show that the
importatlons of tin were SO, 900, 900
pounds, valued at more than s25,-
900, 900. In 1899 the importations
were IS, 900, 900 pounds, valued at
about 1000, 900.
These figures make bone for
the Free Traders to gnaw. When
the Mckinley Tariff bill was under
discussion aid it was proposed to
put duty on tin plate, the protests
were loud and long. 1t was shown
that outside of a small section OF
the Black Hills no tin was produced
in this country, and the claim went
up that the proposition that tn
nlate mills could be established in
this country was visionary and far
cical.
But Congress in its wisdom put a
Tariff on tin plate. Immediately
the manufacture of tin plate began
in this country, and it is an indus
try which now employs many thous-
ands and scatters many millions in
" ages annually. Not only is the
tin plate manufactured here, but
the smelling of the pig tin has
grown to be lively and profitable
enterprise.
How Protection Protects is
shown in the following figures: The
manufacture of tin plate in this
country practically began in 1891.
the total production being 1000
tons; by 1895 it was $4,000 tons,
by 1000 it it was 3oa, 900 tons, and
in 1907 1866, 900. Meantime the
importation of pig tin grew from
Is, 900, 600 pounds In 1890 to A.
900 in 1895, 10000 in 1900 and
SS, 900, 900 in Ioo3-hscal year
just ended.
The decrease in the importations
o. tin plate has about kept pace
with the increase In the importa-
tions of tin, and the manufacture
of tin plate at home. In 1890 the
lmportatlons Of tin plate amounted
to $50, 600, 600 pounds; in 1895,
sos, 900, 900 pounds, In 1900, I47,
100 900 pounds, and in 1903, IIo,-
900, 900 pounds. Meantime expor
tation of domestic tin plate has be
gun in a small way, beginning with
about 30, 900 pounds in 1898 and
amounting to about $50, 900, 900
pounds In 1908. About 20, 900, 900
pounds of American tin we're also
sent to Alaska last year for use in
the manufacture of tin cans. in
which s., 900, 600 worth of Alaskan
salmon we're packed and shipped

G0OD ADVICE.

Constipation clouds more lives than al
most any other disease. One OF the great
est orators once gave this most impor-
tant advice: keep your bowels open and
your head cool" Any sensible person
will agree that keeping the bowels open
and cleansed Is absolutely essential to
good health. Don't take pills and harsh
purgatives that only aggravate the
trouble, but try Chase's Constipation
Tablets. They will cure you to stay
cured. These tablets are put up in neat
watch shaped bottles which just fit the
yest pocket Price twenty five cents.
