POOR OLD RUSSIA.

Luck has been steadily going against
Russia lately; disaster followed disaster;
losses of men. ships, ordnance and sup
plies followed each other in rapid sue
cession the Japanese succeeded in cap
turing some of the strongholds the
Russians believed to be impregnable,
and General Stocsscl surrendered Port
Arthur rather than have the Mikado's
army take it from MIN. Two days
later, it is reported that Rojestvensky's
flagship, tine Kniaz Souvaroff, at the
head of the Baltic squadron, struck
rock and went to the bottom of the sea.
These are only few of the Cars trou
les-just those in connection with the
war with Japan. He mas plenty doing
at home to keep him fully occupied. He
needs soldiers at home about as badly
as he does abroad and he hasn't got
them. Those he has are deserving in
large numbers. Recently the car, it is
stated demanded to know how many
men had 80 far snirked their duty by
quitting the country. The report states
that the number was given as approx
imating 10000. Thercupon his majesty
declared that he would hold the govern
ors of the districts in question response
BILE and that these officials must punish
their suhordinatcs without mercy for
permitting these conditions to continue
The reason for all these troubles is
not hard to find. The subjects of the
car are his subjects per force, and not
from choice The Russian empire has
felt thrill of the spirit of advance and
progress that has made other nations
among the powers of the world, and the
people, the masses, have demanded the
abolition of the monarchial form OF
government. If they have not made a
formal demand, their acts and expires.
sions and the demonstrations the mill
tary forces have been powerless to pre-
vent can not be construed to mean any
thing else This uprising, the longing
and demand for a new and better form
of government is not an impulse, acted
upon without previous consideration
but it is doubtless true that it has been
hastened by the war with Japan. Be.
yOnd doubt the final result of that con-
fiict will be a betterment of the condi.
tions of the Russians, and with the en-
tightening of the millions who are held
in the darkness of ignorance and the
subsection of militarism will begin the
new growth of one of the strongest and
richest nations Of the world.

The work Of the national guard at
target practice will be SHOWN by Adju.
tant Gen. James A. Drain in a report
that will be out in few days. Eight
members of Company E at North Yak.
ina, qualified this year as expert rifle
men under the United States army reg
ulations. First Lieut.. j. NJ. Curry of
Company f leads the guardsmen of the
state with percentage of 74.3.
Adjt. Gen. Drain, who has been shoot
ing in competition with the men of the
guard, in part through love of the sport,
and in part to encourage greater rival
ry, was beaten out for first place in the
list of marksmen by J. j. CAIRNS, first
sergeant in Company G.
In the guards ratings, 200 is the high
est possible number of points. This
taken into consideration shows the re-
markable work of Company of North
Yakima, which is probably the crack
infantry company in the country, so far
as Workmanship is concerned That
organization secured 1862 points Com
pany of Hoquiam, which stands sec!
ond, is given rating of lOl.S0, and
Company D of Seattle has 6632.
A general order is in course of pre-
paration in the adjutant generals office
directing Col Kinzie to visit all the
companies of the national guard in the
state, holding series of night schools
at which officers and men will be in
structed in target practice.
Course is the one provided by the
war department for the purpose of max
ing target practice uniform throughout
the country. This is the course the
Washington guard uses and comparisons
can only be made between guards adopt
ing the same policy.
Of those qualifying in the contest for
the positions of expert rifemen all eight
were from Company +. The scores they
made are as follows, the figures repre-
senting per cent: J. NJ. Curry, 74.3; P.
r. Richardson, 74.3; A. c. Pierce, 7l.3;

In view OF the growth OF the banks
business, which has reached a volume
far in excess Of the facilities in the
present quarters for handling it advan-
tageously, it was decided to enlarge the
space utilized for banking by taking in
the west half of the building, now occu-
pied by the Dudley Shoe Co., and to
build an additi to the south part Of
the building two stories high. This
will provide another storeroom and
a number of offices, for which there will
be demand as soon as they can be
made ready for occupancy. Dir. Dudley,
being forced to move has spoken for the
storeroom, and in all probability will
occupy it.
With the enlargement of space for
the bank and for offices, additional IA
ciities will be installed for handling the
business of the institution. Mr.. Vogt
of Portland, Ore, representing the A.
II. Andrews people OF Chicago, makers
of the most modern bank fixtures, is in
the city for the purpose of preparing
plans and specifications for a complete
set Of new fixtures throughout. In adj
dition to these Il new reserve vault will
be built, and all the improvements will
be made at the time the building is
enlarged. This work will be commenced
as soon as plans are approved and the
weather conditions will permit, prob.
ably within month or six weeks. L.
w. Sankey is the architect who is pre-
par ng plans for the changes decided
| upon in the building.

is ABSOLUTELY PURE
NATURES OWN RESTORA1lvES
IN FAVORiTE PRESCRIPTION.
DR.. Pierce Announces the Ingredients
Of the Family Medicines Which
Have Made His Name Household
Word in the World.

With all the recent talk about patent
medicines and the determined effort in
certain quarters to cast discredit upon
all household remedies which come un.
der that head, the fact remains that
some of these medicines are so firmly
established in popular favor and con-
fidence, have SO proved their worth
and value, that all the denunciations
of bigots cannot destroy the peoples
faith in them.
One of the best known of these rem
edies is Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip-
ton, a medicine which for years has
been accepted by the people as stan
dard preparation for the cure OF those
ailments to which women alone are
subject and which has proved to be
certain cure in nine cases out OF ten
and sure relief in the other one.
There is nothing to conceal about
the Fayorite Prescription. 1t is an abb
solutely pure medicine-made OF roots
and herbs, Natures own restoratiyes.
DR.. Pierce is perfectly willing to let
every one know that his Favorite Pre-
scription contains Blue Cohosh (Caulo-
phyllum Thalictroides) Black Cohosh
(Cimicifuga Racemosa), Lady's Slip
per (Cypripedium Pubescens) and
Golden Seal (Hydrastis Canadensis).
Every doctor knows that such pre-
scription is beneficial in the diseases
of women and when properly COM
pounded is certain to effect a cure In
practically all cases when given a fair
trial. Hereafter every bottle OF the
Favorite Prescription will plainly tell
of what the medicine is composed.
Thus DR.. Pierce will once more prove
to the world his own confidence in the
remedy which for forty years has
borne his name and which is known all
over the world as a sovereign cure for
those diseases which, unchecked. make
our women old before their time.
There is no alcohol in the Favorite
Prescription. DR.. Pierce never be-
lieved in using alcohol in the prepare
ton of his famous household remedies.
For it he substituted chemically pure
glycerine, which has wonderful prop
critics for extracting the medicinal
principles of roots and herbs and barks
and preserving them at their full
strength, without any deleterious eff
feet whatever.
Your druggist sells the Favorite
Prescription and also that famous
Alternative and blood purifier, the Gold
en- Medical Discovery. Write to Dr.
Pierce about your case. He is we'll
qualified physician and will treat your
case as confidential and without
charge for correspondence. Address
him at the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical
Institute, Buffalo, N. Y, Of which he is
Chief Consulting Surgeon.

VAGARiEs OF DRUNKEN MEN.
Do All Sorts of Strange Things Under
Influence of Alcohol.

~ TN'SSiiSfs
The strange subjects that will creep
into the minds of some men when in
their cups is illustrated by the man
who begins to talk about a tribe of
negroes living in some South Sea
island and he was never further
west than Omaha, and is far from
being we'll read man But with the
life, the habits, the natures, and even
religious worship of these tribesmen
he is as familiar when drunk as II
he had made life study of them. He
has names for them, a king and a
queen of the tribe, and if the occasion
is propitious he will go through some
Of the religious rites that obtain on
the island, even chanting songs as
he does SO. He knows absolutely moth,
ing of this when sober, and the only
feasible explanation of the phenomena
is that he read of it all some time in
boyhood, and has since forgotten ii
in his conscious hours.
If man has a private hobby that
he has carefully hidden from even his
out when he is drunk. Thus, one man
has a penchant for sending kilograms
another insists that he must be shaw
ed three or four times a night, and
another finds fault with his com
panions' attire.-Chicago Tribune.

NEW USE FOR GLASS.
Invention That May Supersede All
Other Building Materials.


Other Building Materials.
A practical inventor and scientist,
M. Garchey, known all over France,
has made a very interesting expert
ment in Lyons He has discovered an
entirely new method of melting all
kinds of glass and Transforming il
into material as hard and serviceable
as Belgian blocks. In 1898 he OBJ
tanned permission from the municipal
authorities of Lyons to pave portion
of one of their main streets with this
new material and thus prove to the
world the value of his discovery. The
street selected was principal thor
oughfare, which was under continu
Gus and heavy traffic, and yet the
glass is still as sound as when first
put down. M. Garchey claims for
"ceramo-crystal," as he call it, that it
can be manufactured at a much more
reasonable figure than any other re.
liable building material now on the
market in Europe or America, and
that it is practically indestructible.

Overwork Tells How She Escaped
Misery OF Enforced IdIeness.
"I had been teaching in the city
schools steadily for six years, said Miss
James, whose recent return to the work
from which she was driven by nervous
collapse has attracted attention. "They
were greatly overcrowded, especially in
the primary department of which | had
charge, and / had been doing the work
of two teachers. The strain was too
much for my nerves and two years ago
the crisis came.
II was Frustrated mentally and ply
sically, sent in my resignation and never
expected to be able to resume work. 1t
seemed to me then that | was the most
miserable woman on earth. | was tor
tured by nervous headaches, worn out by
inability to sleep, and had so little
blood that was as white as chalk.
"After my active life, it was hard to
bear idleness, and terribly discouraging
to keep paying out the savings of years
for medicines which did me no good"
"How didyou get back your health ?"
"a bare chance and lot of faith led
me to cure. After | had suffered for
many months, and when was on the
very verge of despair, happened to read
an account of some cures effected by
DIR. Williams Pink Pills. The state.
ments were so convincing that some-
how felt assured that these pills would
help me. Most people, think, buy only
one box for a trial, but | purchased six
boxes at once, and when had used
them up, / was indeed well and had no
need of more medicine.
"Dr. Williams Pink Pills enriched my
thin blood, gave me back my sleep, re-
stored my appetite, gave me strength to
walk long distances without fatigue, i'll
fact freed me from all my numerous all
ments. / have already taught for several
months, and | cannot say enough III
praise of DR. Williams Pink Pills"
Miss Margaret M, James is now living
at No. 1913 Clay street, Dayton, Ohio.
Many of her fellow teachers have also
used DR.. Williams Pink Pills and are
enthusiastic about their merits. Sound
digestion, strength, ambition, and cheer
full spirits quickly follow their use. They
are sold i'll every drug store in the

Dou and Lamb Playmates.

The pets of family at Phillips,
Me-, are dog and a lamb, which
play together all the time as happily
as two kittens. They race and frolic
until completely exhausted and then
curl up side by side for a nap. If the
lamb is shut up alone in the barn at
night 1t begins to bleat in the most
plaintive fashion, but becomes at once
quiet when the dog is sent out to keep
II company.

To raise the roof Of a small build
ing, place stringers or needle beams
across under plate near to each end,
then put jack screws under these;
take a strain and loosen the plate
from studding; now raise the roof as
high as the jack will go, shove up the
roof, take out the jacks, block them
up and raise again following the roof
up with shores until the proper height
is reached Stay the roof from blow
ing over sideways, then splice on old
studding and nail the top of studs to
the plate. You can use two jacks, one
at each end, or four one at each cor
