The prominent feature of the Nation al Geographic Magazine for February is the article on Russia by our former minister, Mir. Charles Emory Smith. The difficulties with which the Car s government has to grapple are lucidly explained, and just tribute is paid 10 the endeayors of such men as Nlshne- gradski and Witte to improve the con dition of the people. Russia has min isters, but no ministry" and attempt ed reform has failed because advance has been from the top. not from the bottom," are two of his terse state ments. He closes with a reference to the wonderful recuperative powers or the Russians, and hopes that through the present trials the empire will enter on 8 new and brighter epoch. The con- ditions of the coast surveys or the world are shown, with the aid of maps by MT. G. W. Lttlehales. in which We note the fact that nearly all Of the coasts of the empire of Japan have been completely surveyed and chart ed" Our consul at Hangchau gives a most interesting account, of the vitally important part which Chinese canals play in furnishing food, fertilizers, ir- rigation and means of transportation to the people.

FIRH DOES st,0Oo DAMAGE.

Rlaze Originated in Boiler Room ol
 Twiss Machine Shop.
 yasterday afternoon at 12:55 an a,a,r of fire was sounded from Box 51 at the corner of Audubon street 't.lfal ana 2 Whitney avenue. The fire department responded at once and 1t was Iounu That the foundry of s. H. Barnum at 2S Whitney avenue was in flames.
 Four lines of hose were at once troi,ght to bear upon the flames and within half an hour the fire was ex- +ina11ished. When the department reached the scene the fire was raging sin the rear of the building, which DOT ders on the Northampton division rail, road cut, and smoke poured from the windows in thick pillows.
 The fire started in the boiler room on the ground floor in therear of the building and the flames communicated to the blower and pattern room which is adjoining. From the blower room fhe flames spread to the top floor. The damage by fire is confined mostly to the blower room. There was also some damage by water. Y
 The first floor of the building is oc- cupid by S. H. Barnum company. and the second and third floors are used by Nelson Twiss, the machinist and man. ufacturer. On the first floor there was some machinery of value which was slightly damaged by water. On the top floor was an automobile and more machinery, but this escaped without damage. .s
 The total damage to the building is estimated at $1,00O, and it is said that the property is insured.
 Exactly how the fire was started is not known, but it is believed to have originated from hot ashes in the boiler room. The factory was shut down yes < terday, owing to its being legal holi. day. .* >.4a%-.->.., .-. -

RAILS CREEP WITH TRAFFIC.

Nothing Can Stop the Lengthwise Movement of Steel.
 That rails, apparently tired of lying still in the same place, sometimes emu late the trains that pass over them by starting off on excursions of their own
 is a fact well known to railroad men. The lengthwise motion of the rail, while, of course, very slow, is often irresistible; nothing ayails to stop it. Authorities differ regarding causes and i remidies. =
 We knew before, and scarcely know more now, that rails creep with the directions of traffic except on heavy grades, that trestles and unstable en- bankments are favorable to the creep ing of rails that rails creep more un- der fast traffic or heavy traffic than
 they do under a slow or q light traffic. There are several points upon which there is a virtual agreement, and these consist, first, in aseribing the creep ing of rails largely to an unstable con dition of the track, which arises from 1.-two causes-a loose foundation and
 the comparative shortness of the pieces of rails. There is absolute agreement on the 1 futility of spiking in slot holes, or fre- quent strap connections with the cross
 ties, for any but the least serious cases,
 and the only practicable method now
 suggested is one which long has been in practice, and is the insertion of a i split point in the rail, with substitute rails of varying lengths to suit the changed conditions. One correspond ent names a case where the track was ! carried over swamp on a gravel erl- bankment from six to eight feet high, and there the splice plates were broken at the center and the rails separated { from 6 to F inches; where the plates
 failed to break the bolts were sheared off, and this gentleman ascribes the 1 trouble not wholly to the swamp, but l quite as much to the general looseness ! of the track construction. This is a view so largely taken in the discussion
 that the observer must be impressed by it, and the cure resolves itself merely 1 into a better form of track construc- tion. It must be many years before any great improvement in method can take out prevailing forms shorts rails, iso- lated supports, inefficient spikes and ir1- efficient splices-there would seem to be a growing sentiment for the greater
 stability which will attach to a con i ftinuously supported ail.-Philadelphia Public Ledger.

white beds are women and girls who are awaiting or recovering from opera, tions made necessary by neglect. ' Every one of these patients had plenty of warning in that bearing down feeling, pain at the left or right of the womb, nervous exhaustion, pain in the small of the back, leucorrhoea, diSzi- ness, f1atulency, displacements of the womb or irregularities. All of these symptoms are indications of an un- healthy condition of the ovaries or womb, and if not needed the trouble will make headway until the penalty has to be paid by a dangerous opera tion, and lifetime of impaired useful ness at best, while in many cases the results are fatal.
 The following letter should bring hope to suffering women. Miss Luella Adams, of the Colonnade Hotel, Seattle, Wash., writes: .1 '...,
 Dear Mrs. Pinkham:-- .+.. >t. r.~ "About two years ago was a great suf- ferer from severe female trouble, pains and headaches Thedoctor prescribed for me and finally told me that had tumor on the womb and must undergo an operation if I wanted to get we'll. I felt that this was my death warrant, but l spent hundreds of dol lars for medical help, but the tumor kept growing, Fortunately corresponded with an aunt in the New England States, and she advised me to take Lydia E. Pinkham's Veg etable Compound, as it was said to cure tli- inors I did so and immediately began to improve in health, and I was entirely cured, the trmor disappearing entirely, without an operation. I wish every suffering woman would try this great preparation"
 Just as surely as Miss Adams was cured of the troubles enumerated in her letter, just so surely will Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound cure every woman in the land who suffers from womb troubles, inflammation of the ovaries, kidney troubles, nervous excitability and nervous prostration.
 Mrs. Pinkham invites all young women who are i'll to write her for free advice. Address, Lynn, Mass.

 question of the appointment of an In diana Federal judge was up, some time ago, Senator Fairbanks was paralyzed to hear President Roosevelt say: T would like to appoint Booth Tar. kington's man.
 Senator Fairbanks pounded his head with his fist and suddenly remem-

MRS. WILSON
VISITS OLD Home

Mrs. William Wilson, who nineteen
years ago with her husband and chill
dren removed from Danville to far
away Oregon, has made long journey
back to her old home here only
to have what was looked forward to
as happy visit darkened by a great
sorrow, which has fallen like a blight
upon her household in the West Mrs.
Wilson arrived here one week ago and
on Wednesday while visiting her
brother, j. f. Hen1rickson. Valley
township, received a letter conveying
the dreadful news that her son, Harvey
Wilson, deputy Sheriff, had been
found dead in his office the victim OF
a pistol shot
The Wilson family is we'll remember

husband and father. was clerk in the
Post Office while both Colonel @. w.

pupil in the public schools of Danville
and like his father is we'll remember
ed here.
1t was about 1886 that Mr.. and Mrs
Wilson with their family of eight chill
dren bade adieu to relatives and
friends and started on their long jour
ney to Paradise, Oregon, where forty
five miles from railroad they settled
on farm. Years passed by while the
children grew up and some of them
married. At intervals letters passed
between the family on the frontier of
civilization and their relatives in this
section, but Mrs. Wilson's visit is the
first that any of the family has made
to the East
The usual life of self dental which
falls to the lot of early settlers was
theirs. They had their sorrows. too.
Before they had been very long in

stricken with fever and he died. On
the farm a solitary grave to this day,
| kept green by loving hands. shows
where his bones reposc. If the first
death which occurred where even
strangers were few, was hard blow
to bear. the death of second son so
sudden and tragic falls with still more
crushing force on the mothers heart,

he died and where dwell all the sor-
rowing survivors but herself.

enshrouded in mystery. He was deputy
Sheriff of Wallawa county. Oregon.
and may have had enemies. He was
found lying on the floor of his Office
beside the chair on which he had been
sitting. On the floor lay revolver

ball had pierced his body producing a
fatal wound, death apparently being

Kidney Diseases Cause Half the Common
Aches and Ills of Danville People,

Kidney Diseases Cause Half the Common
Aches and Ills of Danville People,
As one weak link weakens a chain,
so weak kidneys weaken the whole
body and hasten the final breaking
down.
Overwork, strains. colds and other
causes injure the kidneys, and when
their activity is lessened the whole
body suffers from the excess Of uric
poison circulated in the blood.
Aches and pains and languor and
urinary ills come, and there is an ever
lasting tendency towards diabetes and
fatal Bright's disease. There is no
real help for the sufferer except kid
ney help.
Doan's Kidney Pills act directly on
the kidneys and cure every kidney i'll.
Danville cures are the proof.
Levi Alleger, baker, OF l02 North
Spruce street, says: Il found more
relief from the use of noans Kidney
Pills than from anything | ever used
for kidney trouble. About eight years
ago | had considerable lameness in my
back, over the hips and continual
aching right over the kidneys. These
pains chung TO me and increased in
severity if l stopped or lifted. Oc-
casionally sharp pains would pass
through me and shoot up between my
shoulders, along my spine. All this
caused me considerable suffering md
untitled me for my work. could not
sleep we'll at night and in the morning
would arise tired and unfreshed.

them as directed | felt better and con-
tinued the treatment until l felt all

which l said that Doan's Kidney Pills
had cured me. | can only reiterate
that statement at this time. | always
