own families. because they recognize in
Swamp Root the greatest and most sue
cessful remedy for anv arrangement Of
the kidneys. liver and bladder.
SO successful is Swamp Root in
promptly curing even the most dis
tressing cases, that to prove its Won
derful merits you may have a sample
bottle and a book of valuable infor-
nation, both sent absolutely free by
mail. The book contains many of the

INTERIOR DEPARTMENT
Rejects ALL BIDS
Secretary Is of the Opinion That Price
Asked by Manufacturers for Port
land Cement Is Too High.

WASHINGTON, March 3.-The In
terror Department to-day rejected all
the bids submitted severaI days ago for
the supply of from $50, 900 to 25O,OO0 bar
rels of Portland cement 10 the Govern
ment for the Salt River irrigation pro-
ject in Arizona. The action is the result
of the alleged excessive prices submitted
by the cement manufacturers, the de-
partment stating that first-class Port
land cement can be manufactured at
the dam site on Salt River from good
materials at hand there for less than
SO a barrel, including the entire cost
of the plant, fuel, operation, etc. This
figure would make a saving of about
80 barrel, the department report says,
on the basis of the lowest regular bid,
or a saving of $780, 900 for 100000 bar
rels, or 100000 for 250OO0 barrels, the
largest amount to be supplied.
The department will now consider the
question of erecting a plant for the
Government manufacture of the ce-
ment, the purchase of the supply in
open market or Reimbursement of bids.

After Much Fighting

WASHINGTON, March 3.-Armed

charged soldier, to-day entered the
War Department and, going to the
Mail and Record Division, shot Robert
j. Manning, a messenger, and Arthur
Wicker, a clerk, another bullet mar
rowly missing Miss Emma Sexton,
another clerk. The injury to Manning
is on the right side and is regarded
as dangerous. Wicker was shot in the
arm.
Before the maniac could fire third
time he was overpowered by James
]. Dawson, a messenger. 1t required
the combine efforts of half a dozen
men TO subdue the man. Prominent
among them was Lieutenant General
Adna r. Chaffee, chief of staff. The
lunatic still held the smoking weapon.
in his hand when General Chaffee no
ticed it and with his left hand took
the weapon from him and also some
papers in his pocket. Majors Kearn
and Ireland of the Surgeon Generals
staff were hastily summoned and gave
first aid to the injured men before
they were taken to the Emergency
Hospital
O'Brien, or Duffy, came to the War
Department early and hung around
the building for more than an hour.
He was escorted to the record divi-
sion by Charles Brandt, the chief of
the division, and expressed dissatis-
faction with his discharge papers.
Then, without a word of warning, he
drew pistol from his pocket and
aimed it at Brandt's head Brandt
lodged and the bullet entered the
arm of Wicker. He then turned the
weapon upon Miss Sexton and fired.
She, too, lodged and the bullet struck
Manning. There We're five other
clerks in the room at the time and but
for the quickness of Messenger Daw-
son the maniac undoubtedly would
have shot them all. Dawson, how
ever, grabbed him and held him until.
assistance came.
The greatest CONSERVATION prevail
ed in the department when the sound
of the shooting was heard. Women
rushed from the rooms screaming and
soon were joined by a number of the
male clerks. From every quarter came
army officers in uniform and a vast
throng clogged the corridors, where
O'Brien was struggling to break away
from his captors. The man was taken
to- the police station. 1t required four
men to get him out of the building.
O'Brien was admitted TO st. Eliza
'beth's Asylum in 1898. He was later
paroled, but was returned in 1897. He
served in the Sixth Cavalry and the
Third Artillery.

CANADIAN SEALERS
ARE NOT CONCERNED
Claim the Passage Of RobinsOn's Bill

VICTORIA, p. c, March 3.-Lead-
ing sealing men interviewed here as
TO what effect Congressman Robin
sons bill to prohibit the killing of
seals on the Pribyloff Islands would
have on Canadian sealing interests
say that they do not believe Congress
will allow The bill to pass. but that if
il did it would improve the price Of
skins in London. The sealers here are
not much concerned about the pro-
posed measure. as they say that it can
only have the effect OF destroying a
monopoly enjoyed by an American
company and ultimately benefit the
Victoria sealers. They are aware that
the Pribylof Island Company is doing
well every season and if prohibited
from killing there would probably
take to pelagic sealing, like the Ca
nadians.
