 Kennedy Row, Rondout, N. Y. Gentlemen:
 I have been troubled with my Kidneys and Bladder for three or four years and doctored with many physicians without obtaining any help.
 A few months ago decided to try Cal cura Solvent, Dr. Kennedy's latest medi- cine, and am thankful to say I am now practically cured. You have not asked me for testimonial but I wish to tell you what Cal-cura Solvent has done for me and hope that others may be so happily re- ieved. Yours truly,
 WILLIAM H. MILLER. Remember: Only one Dr. David Ken nedy ever lived in Rondout, City of Kings ton, N. Y., and his aaeao medicine is sold only in $1.OO bottles. It is called Cal-cura Solvent because it cures stone Tn the blad- der by dissolving and painlessly expelling the formation, thus avoiding the surgeons knife. Write to the Cal .cura Company, Kennedy Row, Rondout, E. Y., for free sample bottle.

CAL RL BADER.

CARL BADEK.
 Among the successful business men of Washington is the well-liked mar ket man, Carl Bader, who handles more meat than any retail dealer in his line of business in Litchtield coun- ty. MT Bader was born at Barten- hein, Alsace, 1853. He came to Ameri- ca "A years ago, and the day after he landed at Castle Garden he hired out to Alpheus G. Baker in New York, for Baker X Brinsmade of Washington. He came immediately to Washington, went to work in their market, and has been continuously at the same stand A year after he came. Baker K Brins- made sold to Adam Watts, then he worked for Watts & Son, Charles Kill born who succeeded them for nine months. For five years he was in com pany with Theodore Bradley. In 1897 he bought MT Bradley's interest out and has conducted the business alone. MT Bader has an immense trade. The day THE BEE reporter looked into his cooler ther were 45 quarters of beef and 2l lambs and other meat hanging up. And this great stock lasts less than a week. His patrons have confi- dence in his judgement and he never disappoints them on an order. MT Bader is fortunate in having five bright, active boys, three of whom, Carl Leopold, William and Joseph, help him in his business. George and Goodrich, two small lads, are still in school, but doubtless will wield the cleaver later on. MT Bader is man genial and accommodating in his ways and has host of friends in town.

 The people in the Fairbanks district are enforcing the poll tax law passed by the last congress. The commission CT of the Fairbanks precinct has ap- pointed road overseer and every man in the district must either get out and perform his two days labor where the overseer directs or else dig up S9, which goes to the road fund. A number of people at first refused to recognize the law, but they were soon brought up be- fore the commissioner and fined, as the law provides, and after this example there were no more delinquents. Fair banks is the only district in Alaska which has so far attempted to enforce the poll tax law.
 Figures carefully compiled by the Post-Intelligencer disclose that Seattle did business of S15, 5,744, ,160 with Nome during the season just closed. The showing is less than that of 1903, due largely to the fact of a drought in the earlier season. For the year 1903 the business totaled S19,071,900. In taking into account the trade with Nome is meant all of the Seward peninsula country and lower Yukon. Scarcity of water during the earlier stages of the season prevented development and shipments of supplies to the district fell off correspondingly. Again there was not as much railroad construction on ths Seward peninsula this year as there was in 1903 At least the ship ments of construction material were not SO heavy. Much of the material and equipment used this year in the extension of the Solomon River < Council City railroad went North dur ing the closing weeks of the season of 1903, being discharged at Dixon City.
