THE ELEVATOR BOY.

There was a lean. freckiesi faced boy
who year or two ago ran the elevator
up and down in an old. shackly office
building In Philadelphia. I often went
up in il. but certainly I never suspected
Billy of any noble quality which
raised HIM above other boys, high as
was Saul among his brethren.
But one day the old house began TO
shudder and @roan TO its foundations.
and then one outer wall after another
fell amid shouts Of dismay from the
crowds in the streets And Billy. as
these walls came crashing down, ran
his old lift up to the topmost story and
back again. crowded with terrified men
and women. He did this nine times.
Only one side Of the building was now
standing. The shaft OF the elevator
was left bare. and swayed to and fro.
The police tried to drag the boy out Of
IL. and the mass Of spectators yelled
with horror as he pulled the chain and
began to rise again above their heads.
There's two women up there yet"
said Billy stolidly, and he went on up
to the top. facing horrible death each
minute. and knowing that he faced II.
Presently through the cloud Of dust the
lift wa~ seen coming jerkily down with
three figures on ii. As II touched the
ground the whole building fell with a
crash. The women and the boy came
out on the stree. unhurt. and . roar
of triumph rose from the mob. Scores
had been saved by the fidelity Of the
heroic elevator boy.
But II was O'Clock. and Billy slipped
quietly away In the dusk and went
home to his supper: for your real hero
does not care to remain for the shouts

Or. and Mrs. r. II. Jencks. Of woon.
socket. II. l.. are the first visitors TO
run down by canoe bull moose within
sight and sound OF the hotel, but they
accomplished the unusual feat recently
and n number witnessed the chase.
The moose was first sighted by Mrs.
Jencks while on the way by canoe ia
the fishing grounds. On rounding the
northerly point Of Kine0 Cove she
noticed an object in the water. near
the shore, which she At hrst took to
be a log. Closer examination showed
TINT IL was moving rapidly out into
the lake. She called the attention OF
the guide TO the object.

whispered. For n while the guide held
the canoe In the shadows near the
shore. allowing the moose to put suf-
ficient water between him and the
shore so that retreat would be impossi-
Bile. and then the race began. With
good start q moose can lead the best
OF canoeists. but in this case the guide
had matters his own way. for head
whichever way he might the moose
would be losing ground.
In the course Of due time the canoe
was rlongaide. and the occupants were
stroking the shaggy back Of the tired
and frightened animal with their ny
rods as he surged on. snorting and
grunting furiously. After time the
moose was driven ashore half a mile
down the lake, and later seen on the

TO DUST THE SANTA FEE.

Sedan, Kan. March 3.-Frank S.
Monet, former attorney general ,of
Ohio, who is investigating the deal
ings of the Standard Oil Company
and it's subsidiary companies in Kan
sas, filed suit in the district court in
the name of the county attorney of
Chautaqua county, to GUST the Santa
Fe from doing business in the state.
The traffic men of the road will be
required to produce their books, show
ing up the Standards accounts with
the Santa Fe, in order that it may be
shown just what connection there is
between the two corporations, if any,
and what rates the Standard has been
paying for the transportation of oil.
The suit is brought under the Farrelly
antitrust law, the constitutionality Of
which was upheld by the United
States supreme court few days ago
in the Smiley case.

NO STATEHOOD NOW.
Congress Will Adjourn Without Ad-
nittinq Oklahoma.

Washington, March G. - The fifty
eighth congress will adjourn without
giving statehood to Oklahoma and In
dian Territory. With the house hold
ing the whip hand, the senate confer
ees were powerless to break the dead
lock and report back to the upper
chamber, while, so long as the bill re-
manned in conference, no Independent
action was possible.
The fight will be renewed early
in the next congress. The situation
will be the same, and another con-
gress may pass into history without
accomplishing anything. The fate of
Arizona and New Mexico is indisso-
lubly linked to that of the other two
territories, and those who are fight
ing it are doing so and will do so next
time over the shoulder of two terri
tories which everyone admits to be
entitled to statehood

OF all the diseases known, with
which women are afflicted, kidney dis
ease is the most fatal. In fact, unless
early and correct treatment is applied,
the weary patient seldom survives.
Being fully aware of this, Mrs. Pink
ham, early in her career, gave exhaust
i've study TO the subject, and in pro-
ducing her great remedy for woman's
ills Lydia E. Pinkhams Vegetable
Compound-was careful to see that it
contained the correct combination of
herbs which was sure to control that
fatal disease, woman's kidney troubles.
The Vegetable Compound acts in har-
mony with the laws that govern the
entire female system, and while there
are many so called remedies for kidney
troubles, Lydia e. Pinkham's Vege-
table Compound is the only one espe-
cially prepared for women, and thou
sands have been cured of serious kidney
arrangements by it. arrangements of
the feminine organs quickly affect the
kidneys, and when a woman has such
symptoms as pain or weight in the
loins, backache, bearing down pains,
urine too frequent. scanty or high col
ored, producing scalding or burning,
or deposits like brick dust in it; un-
usual thirst, swelling fhands and feet,
swelling under the eyes or sharp pains
in the back running down the inside
of her groin, she may be sure her kid
neys are affected and should lose no
time in combating the disease with
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound, the womans remedy for wo-
mans ills.
The following letters show how
marvelously successful it is.

INAUGURAL MAY BE WET.
Possibilities Threaten Rain In WASH
ington at Inaugural.

Washington, March A. = Probabili-
ties strongly incline toward rain for
the early part of inaugural festivities,
in the opinion of the official forecas-
ter of the weather bureau. The
weather may clear in time for the
parade in the afternoon. There is
chance that Washington may escape
the rain altogether, Mr.. Frankenfield,
the official forester, said, but the out
look was against it.
Barring the prospect of rain, every
thing points to most successful and
brilliant Inauguration. Evidences of
complete readiness for the event, even
as to small details, is everywhere APP
parent. Tonight the Examinations on
the several public buildings and in
the court of history in front of the
presidents house were tested and
found to work satisfactorily. They
presented a charming sight Penn
sylvania avenue was a blaze of light
from the illumination in the dome of
the capitol at one end of the thorough
fare to the treasury department at the
other.
Pennsylvania avenue tonight was
dense mass of strollers viewing the
sights. Numerous military and civic
organizations arrived in the city dur
ing the day and night, and mingled
with the plainly attired Inhabitants.
The West Point Cadets arrived to-
night. They marched from the sta
tion to the Washington barracks,
where they will be quartered. The
capitol was the mecca for many more
than could possibly gain admission
! to the senate and the house galleries
to watch the closing scenes of con-
gress. The overflow wandered through
the corridors. The congressional IL
brary was honored with the crowds
and was filed until the closing
hours.
At every hotel and at the clubs, re-
unions of various political and patri-
otto organizations, or receptions to
visiting governors were in progress.
President Roosevelt and his family
spent the evening quietly at the White
House.
At the vice presidents home there
was a dinner, followed by a reception
to Governor Hanley of Indiana and
staff The dinner party included
twenty persons in all, among whom
were the members of Senator Fair
banks family.

desired results. Peruna is the only
remedy which was really of any benefit
to me. 1 have not had trace of kidney
trouble nor a cold in my system"
Pe-ru.na Contains No Narcotics.
One reason why Peruna has found
permanent use in so many homes is that
it contains no narcotic of any kind.
Peruna is perfectly harmless. 1t can be
used any length of time without acquir-
ing drug habit. Peruna does not pro-
duce temporary results. 1t is perman-
ent in it's effect.
1t has no bad effect upon the system,
and gradually eliminates catarrh by
removing the cause of catarrh. There
are multitude of homes where Peruna
has been used off and on for twenty
years. Such thing could not be pos
sible if Peruna contained any drugs of
a narcotic nature.
