DAVENPORT DOTS.

There are going to be things doing
on the line of the Davenport & Sub

signs and the promises of the officers
go for nothing. Saturday the com
pany received the invoice of the first
order of steel rails with which the
line is to be laid. There are 20 cars
in all They come from he Pennsyl-
vania Steel company, near Harrisburg,
and if they get here in a matter of 10
days, as may be expected, they will
be rolling in here about the middle of
the month. The company has had
ties, plates, spikes, tools and other
for the work of construc-
ton here for some time, and now
that the rails are in sight there is no
reason why the work of construction
should not begin.

CONSTIPATION.

This most troublesome disease Is
responsible for a great majority of ills
from which human beings suffer. Neg
lect of the internal machinery of the
human body is very prevalent mong
busy people and the resulting discom-
forts are such as to cause misery to thou
sands who are unable to locate the trou-
BILE or form an idea as to the cause.
From constipation result indigestion,
dyspepsia, biliousness, insomnia and
hundreds of other troubles that can be
directly traced to constipation as the
real cause. Many persons suffer from
one years end to another with internal
disturbances and only realize that they
are suffering without being able to I'M
derstand what they are suffering from.
In the great majority of cases constipa-
ton is at the root of their misery and if
they overcome that they will soon resume
normal health.

ket an absolute cure for constipation with
its many attendant ills, under the name

ficaciouS in stomach disorders of all
forms, in catarrh, colds, coughs and all
other throat and lung troubles. Relief

Eleventh street between Eleventh and
Twelfth avenue be not paved by the

city council held a special meeting to

the job completed. 1t was decided
to pave it with brick. However, they
now state that they do not want to
pay for the triangular piece at the
junction of Eleventh avenue and Elev-

y Jail breaking was frustrated here
Saturday when the vigilance of Sher-
if Macarthur and his assistants dis
covered that some of the bad lot of
prisoners in Jail at present had saws
and files through the assistance of
outside friends and were attempting
to saw their way out of Jail. The
prisoners frequently attempt commu-
nication with friends by tearing up
sheets or unraveling clothing until
they have a cord that they can let
down to the ground from the Jail
windows; but it is some time since
we have had a jail delivery here, and
Saturday we seem to have avoided the

concerned every honest reader OF THIS
paper can testify to the falsity OF this
statement from the editor who turned
his back upon all the political and
moral principles he had advocated as
a Dakota Populist and Puritan as soon
as he found that ii would pay better
to be a machine republican and an
advocate of wide-Open policy.
AS for National Committeeman Will

Payne is forging preteXt for lbs own
voluntary resignation, possibly with
a view to forestall a request. Since
it has been Payne's method which
brought criticism upon the depart

AN EMPTY OVATION.

The Argus has received quite al
ovation because of last weeks article
which the Statesman says was pre-
pared for this paper by the machine
Argus.
No doubt the machine manipulators
whom you serve SO faithfully and
whose dirty work you do so willingly
pat you on the back for every fresh
proof of your abject submission to
their orders. How much your ovation
from the machine amounts to may be
Judged from the fact that all your
trouble in sending a marked copy OF
last weeks paper attacking the
Statesman to every voter you could
think of and TO every public man in
Washington and Oregon has not cost
this paper a single subscriber or ad-
yertiser or lost US a friend
The machine long ago exhausted
its power to injure the business Of
the Statesman. and. in spite of all that
it has been able TO do in the way of
having the paper bOycOtted by bust
ness men under its control, the paper
was never more prosperous and its
prospects were never brighter. It
carries more advertising on the aver
age and at better rates than any other
paper in southeastern Washington,
and the reason is that advertisers
know that because Of the large circu-
latiOn of the Statesman and its strong
hold on the confidence of the people
it is the best advertising medium
within their reach.
The free advertising given the
Statesman by the hebdomadal organ
every week serves only to increase
the demand for copies of this paper.
and the Statesman owes a vote of
thanks to the Argus editor for having
doubled his usual issue last week in
order still further to advertise this
paper Keep it up. Brother Shower
man. Every knock from you and the
machine you serve is a boost for the
Statesman.
