STORY OF CAL-C IRA.
Discovered by Or. David Ksnnsdy-Ony
Kidney Remedy Sold Under Guarantee.

DR.. David Kennedy was born in New York
City, but at an early age his family moved
to Roxbury, NY. He was graduated in 1860
from the New York College of Physicians
and Surgeons. He at once volunteered as
a surgeon and was assigned TO the United
States Army General Hospital in West Phil
adelphia, and soon became President of the
Examining Board and Consulting Surgeon.
After the war, DR.. Kennedy settled in Ron
dout, City of Kingston, N. Y, where for
number Of years he enjoyed large prac-
tice as an operative surgeon. He was one
of the Presidential Electors of New York
State, Mayor of Kingston for four years,
and held many other professional, business
and political offices.
The latestachievement of his life was the
discovery of Cal-cura Solvent, positive
cure for all diseases of the kidneys and blad-
der. mspeaking of this remarkable remedy,
he said "Cal-cura Solvent is the browning
achievement of my life. 1t viii not dis
appoint"
Your druggist will return your money if
Cal-eura fails to cure, and The Cal-cun
Company, of Rondout, N. Y, will pay the
druggist. Cal-cura Solvent cures 9S% of
all cases of Kidney, Bladder and Liver dis
orders. $1.00 bottle. Only one size.

Our Duty To Panama.

Much is being written about our duty
to the new republic of Panama and a
multitude of suggestions have been
offered to the government.
There are those who are of the opin-
ion that the government at Washing
ton was the power behind the throne
which made possible successful revo-
luton on the part of the people of the
isthmus Assuming this to be true,
the government finds many supporters,
while others condemn such course as
being an unwarranted interference in
South American affairs.
But in all this discussion the fact
seems to be lost sight of that the
government of Colombia, by its greedi-
ness and stubbornness and trickery,
was in fair way to forever obstruct
the building of the great Panama
canal, an undertaking greater in itself
than any South American republic.
Civilization demands the construct
ion of this great waterway, and civil
ization is greater than any state or
nation. Civilization is for all nations
and all peoples, and when one country
stands in the path of progress, to the
detriment of all other peoples, such
country by all laws of right and jus
tice must take the natural consequences
of its rashness and imprudence.
That seems to be the fate that has
overtaken the republic of Colombia
The people of Panama, themselves
eager for the canal and its resultant
prosperity, we're face to face with
problem requiring heroic measures.
Those heroic measures were taken
when the people Of the isthmus rebelled
aud founded republic of their own.
The birth Of the new republic of
Panama makes possible the construct
ion of the canal without any further
trouble, whereas before the work was
obstructed by the government of Col
ombia.
If, as has been charged, the United
States was an agent in bringing about
the revolution, then the United States
is an agent of civilization and should
be so regarded.
For civilization demands the inn
mediate construction of the Panama
canal.
Our duty to Panama is to see that
no country, South American or Euro
pean, interferes with it, for such inter-
ference would tend to obstruct the con
struction of a waterway which means
much to the commerce of the world.

The prospect Of Mormon elders COM
ing to Vermont proselyting caused
some talk last summer but as far as
we have heard the fears aroused we're
groundless as the elders never came.
That the Mormous did make converts
in Vermont years ago is brought out
by the recent death at Logan, Utah at
the age OF s. OF Aaron +, Farr, a
native OF Waterford, Caledonia
county, Vermont and for many years
one Of the leading members of the
Church of Latter Day Saints" other
wise called Mormons. His biographi-
cal sketches printed by the Mormon
papers state that he, with others Of his
fathers family, was converted to the
Mormon faith 10 1882, by the preach
ing of Elders Orson Pratt and Lyman
Johnson, who were then holding meet
ings in Vermont He joined the Nor
mon colony in Ohio in 1886 and had
an active part in that long struggle
which ended in the MOrmuns being
forced westward until they found a
permanent abiding in Utah. To US it
seems strange that hard headed
yankee boy should take up a faith
which seemingly has so little to offer
but history shows thai there is no so
called religion too absurd to find
people ready and willing to take it up.

Proverbs

When the butter won't
come put a penny in the
churn," is an old time dairy
proverb. 1t often seems to
work though no one has ever
told why.
When mothers are worried
because the children do not
gain strength and flesh we
say give them SCOTS Emul-
sion.
1t is like the penny in the
milk because it works and
because there is something
astonishing about it.
SCOTS Emulsion is simply
a milk of pure cod liver oil
with some hypophosphites
especially prepared for delicate
stomachs.
Children take to it naturally
because they like the taste
and the remedy takes just as
naturally to the children be-
cause it is SO perfectly adapted
to their wants.
For all weak and pale and
thin children SCOTS Emulsion
is the most satisfactory treat
ment.

Division Dies a-Bornin'

AS time progresses it grows more and
more apparent that the triple county
scheme of Pullman and OakesdaIe has
died a-bornin', says the Palouse Repub-
lie. In both proposed new counties a
large proportion of the voters have
signed remOnstrances, and thus gone on
record as being opposed to gratifying
the ambitions of these two burgs at the
expense Of the tax payers OF grand old
Whitman county. 1t is the sentiment t
Of the voters that it is best to endure
the alleged bOodling of Colfax, than to
run the risk of Pullman and Oakesdale
learning bad habits by having tempta-
! tion placed before them.
1t seems TO be the consensus Of Opin
ion in this vicinity that the county d.
vision bill viii never be introduced. In
/ the proposed new county Of which Pull
man would be the county seat, there will
I be at least 100 Dames on the rem0n-
strances, according to late advices. Pa
louise and vicinity has at the present
time more than 900 signatures. A care
full estimate shows that four-fifths of the
property owners are opposed to the
division. Aside from this, advices from
Olympia tend to strengthen the cOnvic-
tion that the bill will never be intro
duced or that ii it should be introduced
it would meet with ignominous defeat.

GOES WITH PANAMA.
Old Canal and Plant, Railroad and
Buildings, Etc.

Washington, Feb. LII the United
States finally enters upon the cOnstruc-
ton OF an interOceanic canal over the
Panama route, IA now seems probable.
il will first pay to the Panama Canal
Company the vast sum OF $4,000. 900.
This payment represents more than the
mere right of way OF this company: it
represents the work already done to-
wards digging the vast ditch, the Pana-
ma Railroad, the maps, drawings aud
records, and a balance thrown in by way
OF bonus, but it is said that the latter
item is comparatively small ,iOr the ditch
already constructed, according to official
estimates, represents an expenditure of
about $27 100000, and the Panama
Railroad stock at par is worth almost
81 600, 900. The French company will
give TO this government, among other
things, about 10000 acres of land
which, with the lands belonging to the
railroad company, cover nearly all the
ground required for the actual construc.
UiOn of the canal. Something like 23OO
buildings will fall into the hands of this
government on conclusion of the bar
gain, among them being offices, quar-
ters, stOrehOuses, hospitals, shops, sta

consisting OF a floating plant of tugs,
launches, dredges, rolling plant of To-
comotives and cars, together with exca-
vators, cranes, pumps, etc. In addition
to all this. there is a quantity OF survey
ing and other instruments and miscel-
laneOus supplies.
The official estimate OF the time re-
quired to complete the Panama canal is
10 years, and the estimated cost is 1884,
100000. The Walker commission
thought it would take but eight years to
build canal at Nicaragua. tis estim-
ated that millions will need to be spent
by the United States engineers in making
Colon, Panama and the canal route
sanitary before much work can be done.
The Panama fever has cost 100000
lives, and no one can live long there
under present conditions. 1t is thought
that Chinese and negroes will need to be
| imported for work in the ditch, as the
climate is too oppressive to permit much
labor by Americans, and the natives will
not work.
