 IN UNITED STATES NAVY

Travelling recruiting branch No of the United States navy, which was op- ened here February 1. expects to send twenty or more young men from here to Norfolk tomorrow afternoon
 The officers have received application from over sixty young men from 3irming ham who desire to enter the navy.
 Of this number thirteen have passed the required examination, ten of these already having taken the oath. It is ex- pected that ten more will be recruited be- fore the officers leave. The recruiting party has quarters in room 1o B in the federal building, and they will leave here tomorrow afternoon for Montgomery, where they will remain for several days. Those desiring to recruit in Birmingham should file their applications not later than 2 o'clock tomorrow afternoon.

States navy, and under the law recruits can be advanced to the top, not exclud- ing the rank of admiral. Last year 12 men were promoted to commissions in the navy.
 ''The pay is very liberal, ranging as it does from s1s to $7o per month. The most popular position Is that of appren- tice seamen who receive SIG per month. The age limit for this branch is r to 20 years. We recruit all classes here in Birmingham-Clerks, machinists black smiths, firemen etc. Enlisted men In the navy get full pay all the time General financial conditions, lookouts, strikes and the like do not disturb the navy. A recruit is assured of a full dinner pail for four years. When they are discharged some get as high as 5000. Thus it will be seen that young man has a splendid opportunity to save his earnings.

LEWIS ]. LAWSON
 IS RECOMMENDED
HE IS REFEREE THOMPSON'S CHOICE FOR POSTMASTER AT eREENSBoRo-MRs. j. H. sEAY WAS HIS FIRST CHOICE.

It leaked ou last night that Maj. Lewis J. Lawson has been recommended by J. o. Thompson, one of the republican ref erees in Alabama to be postmaster at Greensboro, in place of Judge Hobson. the father of Capt. Richmond Pearson Hobson, who recently died in office.
 In as much as twentythree presidential appointments in this state within the last year have been made upon the recom- mendation of the republican referees, it is expected that Major Lawson will sue ceed in getting the office.
 An interesting feature in this case Is the fact that Mir Thompson recommend ea as his first choice for the Greensboro postmastership Mrs. Thomas Seay, the widow of the late Thomas H. Seay, at one time governor of Alabama, and one of the most popular democrats who ever held that office. In doing this MT. Thomp- son followed precldent recently made in Mississippi, where the widow of former Governor Stone. a democrat of that state, was appointed by the President to be postmaster
 Mrs. Seay, however, declined to be a candidate for the position, and urged MT. TT ompson to recommend Major Lawson.
 Soon after tho vacancy in the office occurred, Ad Wimbs, negro republican leader, called on MT. Thompson and re- quested the appointment of Major Law son. Mr. Thompson explained that he had resolved to recommend for the ap- pointment Mrs. Seay. and he straightway advised her of his intention When Mrs. Seay dec-ined and urged the referee to recommend Major Lawson the sugges- ton was adopted by Mir Thompson
 Major Lawson Is a brother of the gen. tlcman who ran as a gold democratic candidate for representative in Congress a few years ago against Oscar W. Under wood.

CHINAMAN TRIES TO
 BUY A CHEAP TICKET
Wash Ling Lee Calls on Passenger Agents and Explains What
 He Wants.

Several days ago a commotion was caused in railroad circles by the attempts of a good looking woman to get a re- duction in rates to Amsterdam, N. r., and the passenger representatives of the various roads having direct connection with New York were involved in a rate war created by this lady.
 But that. however, was not to be com pared with the attempt to create a rate war which was made yesterday by Wash Ling Lee, "Chnk' of the most pro- nounced type. but one who spoke fairly good English.
 The first call was on Bob Creagh, travelling passenger agent of the South ern.
 "Me likee to travel to Newl York. sellee me ticket. Me wantee cleap rate. Last time me glo to Newl York payee s2450. Go cheapee dlat dis timer"
 Mir. Creagh told him that the rate was s2750 and that he could leave over the Southern at 5:15 p. m. and 30 p. m, or 6:10 a. m. The Chink promised to "claal again."
 Bob Pierce in the Louisville and Nash vile office was the next to receive a visit.
 Me likee glet cleap ratee Newl York. Washee youl clothee, givee me cleap ratee. No helpee me? Likee youl road best. No getee ratee? Callee gain. od-bye."
 At the Central of Georgia, with the ocean steamship connection at Savannah, the celestial was the recipient of many courtesies and there was much talk. A ticket was almost sold when the China man discovered that half the trip was by water.
 Heap muchee, no likee watler," said the Chink. 'No eatee. No sleepee. Mislable alice time. Lilxee allee railway. Washee collar six weekee you makee me late to Newl York. No callee SC you gain"
 At the Queen and Crescent office Hugh Latimer and A. B, Freeman both tackled him. They had heard that he had visited the other offices and they were more than eager to land him.
 .sYour line havee good train Newl York. Me ridee your load. Sellee me heap rnuchee ticket s20. You heapee glood lookee man. Can no makee me late to Newl York Poor Chinaman play fuli fare to Newl York.
 "Alee same work silk week and washee. washee heap hard and no makee monly nough to play flare Newl York. Come see you gain. Glood-bye."
 Wash Ling Lee will probably try again today.

thought This engine was stationed at First avenue and Twentieth street, and no windows were broken. nor was any property damaged by the explosion.
 The damage to the other engine was only temporary. A portion of the grate gave way and caused the trouble.
 From all the evidence which can be procured, 1t seems to be established be- yond doubt that the fire started in the building on Morris avenue occupied by Franklin, Stiles and Franklin There was a stove located in the rear of this building and the fire, 1t is believed. originated from this stove.

trouble vanished. have had no occa-
sion to use any kidney medicine since.''
The Minneapolis journal. [volume] (Minneapolis, Minn.) 1888-1939, 1905-03-01

Kidney diseases cause more deaths
than any other human affection. This
is because, they come on so silently, and
are. therefore, neglected.
When the kidneys are well, they re-
move from the body every day nearly
one ounce Of uric acid and other poison-
Gus waste.
When the kidneys are sick, this poi
son is carried by the blood to every part
Of the body. It causes rheumatism,
govt, neuralgia, sciatica, gravel stone
in the kidneys, heart disease, indiges-
ton, diabetes and Bright IS Disease.
Doan' g Kidney Pills act promptly
and give complete relief because their
influence is exerted directly upon the
diseased tissues. This medicine has
been curing sick kidneys for 70 years.

North Dakotans that the government will bear

1t is estimated that the states share will

residents of the Red river valley counties will
