OF Wide Interest.

Breed, Wis, June 26.-Special-
Chas. Y. Peterson, Justice of the Peace
for Oconto Co., has delivered a judg-
ment that is of interest to the whole
United States. Put briefly, that judg-
ment is, "Dodd's Kidney Pills are the
best Kidney medicine on the market
today"
And Mr.. Peterson gives his reason
for this judgment. He says: Last
winter | had an aching pain in my
back which troubled me very much.
In the morning could hardly straight
en- my back. l did not know what 1t
was but an advertisement led me to
try Dodds Kidney Pills. After taking
one box can only say they have done
more for me than expected as feel as
well now as ever did before"
Pain in the back is one of the first
symptoms OF Kidney disease. II not
cured by Dodd's Kidney Pills 1t may
develop into Bright's Disease, Dia-
betes. Rheumatism or some of the
other deadly forms OF Kidney Disease.

MISSING Two Months.

George Shetterly, aged 6S, resident
of Pokagon, has been missing from
his home for nearly two months, and
Kalamazoo officers have been asked
to investigate his disappearance on
the theory that he has been murdered.
Some time ago Shetterly bought
farm from man named Phillips near
Pokagon, and on April 20 left the home
Of his brothers, near Bertrand, where
he had been visiting, to go TO Ber-
trand and take the electric car to
Niles, and thence to his new place. He
was last seen some distance from Ber
trand by farmer named Washburn,
with whom he talked. Last week his
daughter in Dowagiac learned for the
first time that he had never arrived
at his farm, and notified the sheriff.
Since the old man carried 800 in gold
in his pocket, she believes that he has
been waylaid robbed and murdered,
and his body concealed in the swamps
near where he disappeared.

Lake Shore Wreck.

The Lake Shore officials who have
been estimating the loss caused by
the wreck Of the Twentieth Century
Limited train at Mentor, O., which
caused nineteen deaths, place the
financial part at about $500 900. The
engine and all the cars, except the
buffet car can be repaired. The en-
CINE will be rebuilt, and the loss on
that will not be over $4,000. 1t was
valued at about $1S,500.
The total damage TO the train will
come to $4,000. But there are other
items in the list which bring the total
cost of the disaster to a high figure.
The railroad men make the state
ment that personal injury claims and
death claims will cost the road about
100000. They also figure that the ad-
verse advertising to the road will
amount TO not less than 100000.
In addition, there is the cost of the
freight shed and it's contents, which
will add $4,000 to the damage. The re-
funding of the fares charged on the
train will add $4,000. These. with other
things incidental to the wreck. will
bring the total cost OF the disaster up
to 100000.

Tie Chinese Immiorants

The presidents policy of "a square

Monday in an official statement from
the White House, indicates the extent
10 winch the enforcement of the ex-
cluslon law is to be modified. These
notifications are relied on to head
OH the threatened boycott of Ameri-
can goods by the Chinese. The presi-
dents decision to order a less rigid
enforcement of the law indicates tina,
there is at least a marked difference
OF opinion between him and Secretary
Metcalf. who has charge of immigra-
ton, and there are indications of rath-
er serious friction between them. Mr..
Metcalf is from California, where the
sentiment against the Chinese is
strongest, and the president thinks
he is thinking more of the interests
OF the section from which he comes
than of the interests of the whole
country.

Famous Summer Hotel, the Grand
Union Of Saratoga, Has Installed
This Best Of All Artificial Lights
Means Increased Comfort and
Health.

Saratoga. June 27.-The very name,
Saratoga" brings TO every mind
health-giving springs, unsurpassed
hotels and beautiful drives. 1t
has been for many years the
Mecca for all who admire nature,
enjoy good living, and are searching
Tor health, or are simply taking va.
cation.
The Grand Union. the largest sum-
mer hotel in the United States, set
among green trees with its long wings
enclosing a court with fountains and
flowers, grass and trees, music and
light. is throughout the season throng-
ed with guests. With the progressive
spirit always shown by its manage
ment, the Grand Union has again add
ed to its attractiveness by introduc-
ing acetylene gas to make still more
brilliant the evening hours. The ge-
nial proprietors believe in furnishing
their guests with the best of every
thing, and now, after investigating
and finding that Artificial Sunlight
can be had, they have installed COM
plete acetylene gas plant to produce
IL. and have connected upwards Of six
about the house and grounds to this
little gas plant.
Like many discoveries Of recent
years. which are coming into popular
favor, acetylene one of the most re-
cent, is very simply produced. 1t is
adapted for use wherever artificial
light is needed and the necessary ap-
paratus can be understood and oper-
ated by anyone.
The generator in which Acetylene
is produced by the automatic contact of
carbide and water might be termed
gas plant, as it performs all of the func-
tons of a city gas plant. The acct
ylene generator can be purchased for
a few dollars and in any size, from
one adapted to furnish acetylene to
ten or a dozen burners for a cottage,
up to the large but still simple ma
chine such as is now furnishing
Acetylene for six thousand burners
in the Grand Union.
Outside of large cities the use of
Acetylene Is quite common. The
owner of the country home now de
mands running water, gas and other
conveniences which a few years ago
were considered as Injuries, and
acetyiene gas has met his require
ments, and gives him better and
cheaper light than is ordinarily fur.

was bound down with a cargo of ore,
went down Immediately after the col

was bound up with coal cargo, kept
on her way up to Russell island, where
she went down in the middle of the
channel. The crews of both boats sue.

and crash into the City of Rome A
large hole was torn into the bows of
both steamers.

WHY THEY ARE HAPPY
TWO NOTABLE REOOVERIES FROM
EXTREME DEBILITY.
Husbands Strength Had Been Waning for
Three Years, Wife n Sufferer from
Female Weakness

"My strength had dwindled so that I
couldn't apply myself to my business
with any snap but was tired and listless
all the time, F" said Mr.. Goldstein.

my days work, and when l got up i'll

have severe pains in the back At one
time l became so feeble that 1 could not
stir from bed for three weeks"
Mr.. Goldstein is young man and had
then but recently established home of
his own. His anxieties were increased
by the fact that his wife was far from
being robust. Mrs. Goldstein says:
For two years had been i'll most Of

bed for weeks in succession under ply

trouble, pain about the heart and many
more uncomfortable symptoms con-

sex is peculiarly subject"
Trouble had invaded this household
and settled III 1t III just the years that
ought to be the very happiest. Physicians
could not tell them how to get rid of it.

Goldstein. "Then the urgency of some
friends led me to try blood aud nerve
remedy which was said to be wonder
fully successful. Within month there
were unmistakable signs Of improvement
in my condition, and within a year I
was completely well. Through the use
of DR.. Williams Pink Pills have now
as good health as 1 ever had in my life."
Mrs. Goldstein adds: "The wonderful
effect that DR.. Williams Pink Pills had
in the case of my husband led me to try
them and they helped me even more
quickly than they did him. One box

months treatment cured me-

Women Not Artistic.

During the last hundred years in
France and England the education Of
women has been more artistic than
that Of men. For more emphasis is
put upon music and drawing in girls
schools than in the corresponding in
stitutions for their brothers. And yet
Gallon found, in investigating nearly
900 cases, that 20 per cent males and
33 per cent females showed artistic
tastes. In spite of the larger oppor-
tunity which the modern woman has
to develop her artistic faculties, the
results in the two sexes are practical
ly the same.
