the shore. The matter of range-finding il
is expected, will be one of the most diff
cult problems to be solved, the night range
finding being especially hard on the army.
tnasmuch as in some of the fortificat tons to
be tested it will be required to use day in
struments to find the ranges. The navy it is
understood. is fully equipped with night in
struments. The effectiveness of the search
light and the ability of the artillerymen to
handle 1t has been very well manifested at
Forts Washington and Hunt in the past
ten days. Boats coming up the river have
had difficulty in keeping the channel

light flashed on them from the river forts.
In the matter of mining the approaches to

solved and who has the best of it will be
determined by umpires and observers
placed in the Notifications and aboard the
ships. The umpires and observers for the
army have already been designated. They
will closely observe all that is going on and
draw their conclusions accordingly. Owing

Speculation Over Elkins.

Just what success has recently been made
with Senator Elkins Is a matter Of specu-
lation, but the state committee has ordered
the assessment of every important office
holder in the state. In his hurry Chair
man Swisher sent one OF these soliciting
circulars to R. A. Salmon. a county clerk
Of Putnam county, who happens to be a
democrat. Mr.. Salmon was asked to con-
tribute SO, but he forwarded Swisher's
letter to the Davis committee instead, and
1t has been given some publicity.

Davis supporters. and, as in their support

Elkins was forced into opposing Uncle
Tom five years ago, which incidentally
raised a rumpus, and he Is keeping out OF

The second congressional district Of West
Virginia Is historic in state politics, and In
the civil war annals 1t embraces nearly
all the West Virginia battlefields. including
Philippi where the first inland skirmish
took place. and Harper's Ferry. the scene Of
John Browns Inflated exploit. Fourteen
counties. embracing nearly 500 square miles
in area, compose the district, and because
Washington Is only a few hours ride dis

Dayton was glad to leave the fighting
for the serenity Of the bench. and the
republicans who opposed him are the prin-
cipal Lakin enthusiasts. while any knitting

Dayton scabbards. If Lakin Is defeated the
responsibility will be placed that way, for
he has put Dayton men at the head of his
campaign organization; but as they were
anti-Dawson men, also. his defeat may
be construed as due to dissatisfaction with
the tax revision.

to win. Those of his party unfriendly to
his candidacy have nothing against him

well satisfied il his majority is small

Arrivinu at a Verdict.

Kushequa, Pa, July 10.-(Specia) y
In this section of Pennsylvania there
is a growing belief that for such Kid
ney Diseases as rheumatism and
Lame Back there is only one sure
cure and that is Dodd's Kidney Pills.
This belief grows from such cases as
that of Mrs. M. L. Dawson of this
place. She tells the story herself as
follows:
81 have suffered from Rheumatism
for thirty years and find that Dodd's
Kidney Pills have done me more good
than any medicine have ever taken.
I was also bothered with Lame Back
and l can only say that my back hasn't
bothered me since | took Dodd's Kid
ney Pills
Considering that Mrs. Dawson only
took two boxes of Dodd's Kidney Pills,
the result would be considered wonder
full if it were not that others are re-
porting similar results daily. Kushe-
qua is fast arriving at verdict that
"D0dd's Kidney Pills are the one sure
cure for Rheumatism"

When Summer Comes.

Wnen SUMMER COIISS'
When the spring grows warm ana sunny
When we feel all over funny,
AS if we'd like to grow as flowers
grow;
When we long to be as free
Asa squirrel bird or bee,
Then there's something Pet and have
learned to know.
For we know the summers coming
When the song birds in the meadow
sing all day;
When the frogs by lake and river
Make the twilight shadows culver.
All the voices tell us summers on the
way.
Then Pet and I go Maying,
Where the fairy-folk are straying.
For arbutus that hides in leaves and
grass;
Where the tiny bluets glisten,
And the dainty viOletS listen
For our coming, and the fairies as they
pass.
For her roses June is waiting,
The blooming fields and hedges lend
their cheer;
All the Summer voices sing,
Every green and lovely thing
Is glad with us, when summer time Is
here.
For we love the sunny hours, Pet and I;
sky.
Every bud and bloom and blade,
Every forest, field and glade.
With their furry, feathered friends, are
friends of ours.

Avoid the Cheap and "5ig Can" Bak-
ina Powders.

The cheap baking powders have but
one recommendation: they certainly
give the purchaser plenty Of powder
for his mony. These powders are
so carelessly made from inferior ma
terials that they will not make light.
wholesome food. Further, these cheap
baking powders have very small per-
centage of leavening gas; therefore 1t
takes from two to three times as much
of such powder to raise the cake or
biscuit as it does Of Calumet Baking
Powder. Therefore, in the long run,
the actual cost to the consumer OF
such powders is more than Calumet
would be. Cheap baking powders
leave the bread sometimes bleached
and acid, sometimes yellow and aka
line, and always unpalatable. They
are never of uniform strength and
quality.
Why not buy perfectly wholesome
baking powder like Calumet, that is at
the same time moderate in price and
one which can be relied upon? Calu-
met is always the same, keeps indef-
initely and gives the cook the least
trouble.

ga great natural bridge is situated

ceeds anything of it's kind in the

tress the bridge is 100 feet, and the
highest part of the arch is about 70
feet above the water. The arch is al
most as perfect as if built by mans
hands instead of formed by the action
of water. The stream here flows, or
rather tumbles and pitches, through a
narrow, ragged canyon about 1000
feet in depth. Near the lower end OF
the gorge a ledge or wall of solid rock,
about $50 feet in height, stretches
right across the canyon. In time long
past the water has plunged over the

found it's way underneath, and the re-
