WORSE EVERY YEAR
Plenty of Laramie Readers Have the

Backache is really kidney ache.

A Laramie citizen tells you how-the
cure is easy.
Mrs. J.. w. McBeht, 1853 West Ere

MY daughter had scarlet fever when a
little girl and it left her with kidney
trouble. OF late years her condition
has been especially bad. She com
planned of severe pains and soreness
across the kidneys, at times a bloat'
ing was very pronounced, every part
of her body being swollen. One doc
tor told her she had Brights disease
in a bad form and another said 1t was
dropsy. Every treatment she tried
proved unsuccessful until she began
the use of Doan's Kidney Pills. After
taking them three days a decided i'm
provement was noticed and after using
the second box the pain and soreness
in her back was completely removed,
the swelling subsidized and every symp'

There is more Catarrh in this sec

eases put together, and until the last
few years was supposed to be incur
able. For a great many years doctors
pronounced it a local disease and pre-
scribed local remedies, and by con
stantly failing to cure with local treat
ment, pronounced it incufable. Science
has proven catarrh to be a constitu'
tional disease and therefore requires
constitutional treatment. Halls Ca

Thirty-two Millions.

The daily papers announce that Mr.
John D. Rockefeller has given the
general education board Of New YORK
thirtv-two millions dollars. He had
previously given that board eleven
millions. thus making forty-three
millions in all. The gift is intended
to ASST in the work of the ooarc
throughout the country, and is de-
signed to help educational instltu-
tions. The announcement was made
TO the board in a communication from
Mr.. John D. Rockekefeller, Jr., and
s made IN about fifteen lines. One
third of the amount is to be added to
the permanent endowment of the
board, and two-thirds to be applied to
such specific objects within the cor
porate purposes of the board as MI.
Rockefeller, or his son, may from
time to time direct.
This is the largest sum ever given at
one time to the cause of education, or
anv other object, so far as we know.
We are glad that this large gift comes
from q Baptist, who is most highly
esteemed as a devoted Christian by
those who know him best, and who
have known him for many years from
his vo11tn I'D. Many newspaper par
agrahers have frequently made filings
at the RockefeIIers in copection with
their church work, Sunday school
work, and Bible classes, but it is
doubtful if these same paragraphers
are ever seen in a Sunday school, or
even in church. It i'll becomes them
to make sport Of a mans church life
and religious activities. That is one
thing that should be sacredly let
alone, no matter how poor or hum
bic or rich may be the subject of
such cheap wit and ridicule.-Baptist

100000 JAPs IN HONOLULU.
Crowding White Men out of Busi-
ness Says Customs Officer.

Japanese are arriving in Honolulu
in double the number they were a
few months ago." said Edwin Far
mer, boarding officer Of the United
States customs service, yesterday,
who is stationed at that port. Mr..
Farmer is at the Raleigh Hotel. ''In
November 5000 japanese arrived at
Honolulu, and in the succeeding
months the number I judge has ben
just about as large" continued Mr..
Farmer. more than half Of them
remain in Hawaii; the others go on
to California. The most Of the Japan
ese who have reached Honolulu in
the last few months are soldiers who
served in the Russian war. They still
wear the uniforms Of that conflict.
Among all the Japs I have seen-and
I have seen ali that have arrived and
have examined their trunks, have
found one who brought a frearm with
him. Some have their swords, but If
they brought along firearms they have
been successful in concealing them.
There is a much larger number of
Japanese coming to Hawaii and the
United States than ever before.
Whether it has any significance or not
/ do not know. N the last year
number of steamers operated by Jap
anese companies have come directly
from Japan, carrying only japanese.
They do not proceed to California, but
turn around and go back to Japan,
after unloading their passengers at
Honolulu In 1900 there were 10000
japanese on the island Of Hawaii
That number has been so largely in
creased that they are now croWdlng
out many Of the white people, who
are engaged in business there. [ do
not know how many are there now,
but presume in the neighborhood OF
100000. They are not only seriously
;njuring the business INDUSTRIES OF
the whites, but they are hurting the
laboring class. If they could be kept
on the plantations they would not be
so seriousl. iected to, but when the
find OUT t!a5 can make more
money in .ne 8, they go there and
engage III bu,j:,-ss pursuits that COM
pete with the whi5es and natives.
IN Honolu.fl TO. many years there
were three drug stores conducted by
white men. Now there are probably
dozen drug stores, and a big majority
of them are run by japanese. 1t was
not so long ago that the larger portion
of the japanese who put into Hawaii
on the Pacific steamers kept on to
san Francisco. but in tho last few
months 1 believe more have gone a
shore at Honolulu than went to Cali

wATsoN,s COURSE QUESTIONED
House of Representatives Calls for
Information About Methods Used
in Getting Immigrants that Came
Over on the Nittekind.

Washington, Feb. 16.-On motion
Of Mr. Gardner, Of Massachusetts, the
house today passed resolution re-
questing the secretary Of commerce
and labor to send to the house any
information relative to the intro
duction Of foreign laborers into South
Carolina by Labor Commissioner
Watson, and the opinion Of the solici-
tor of the department whether said
laborers were lawfully admitted.
Mr.. Gardner stated that Ala people
had been admitted for labor in the
factories in South Carolina, largely
from Belgium and it was desired to
know whether the alien contract law
had been violated.
Mr.. Finley, Of South Carolina, in
defending the course of the labor
commissioner, said that Mr.. Watson
had acted in entire good faith; that
the State needed desirable immigrants
and had sought to obtain them in
an honest manner.
Mr.. Underwood, of Alabama, criti-
cised the action Of the president in
interfering in the matter Of the i'm
migration bill.

THE TELEPHONE SITUATION.


The telephone situation is up to the
City Council aud something should be
done. The officers of the Sumter Tel
ephone Company frankly confess
their inability to furnish the service
that the public demands, except at an
increased rate, and state that unless
the council grants permission to in
crease the rates 70 improvement in
existing conditions can be expected.
There are a number Of people who
have been wanting telephones for
months. but the company has not
supplied them and the officers say
that ehey cannot DO SO.
There are two courses open 70 City
Council: either grant permission to
zncrease .;.e rates as requested by the
company, or take legal steps TO COM
pel the company 10 comply with the
terms Of the frar.chise under which
It operates. It is a serious problem
that confronts council and one that
cannot be decided off hand; but it is
q problem, nevertheless, that should
De solved as speedily as possible. Tie
town is growing rapidly and the nee
essity for efficient and comprehensive
telephone service reaching to all sec
lions OF the city is more urgent than
ever before and will grow more urg-
ent all the time. The people have a
right to expect and demand Of the
Sumter Telephone Company that they
be served, for when the corporation
accepted the franchise it assumed the
obligation to furnish telephone ser
vice at specified rates to each and
every citizen who should apply for it.
On the other hand the officers Of the
sumter Telephone Company set up
the claim that they are unable to
discharge this obligation. If they
cannot. they cannot, and that would
appear to be an end Of the matter, so
fas as the Sumter Telephone Com
pany is concerned. This confession
would seem to put the Sumter Tele-
phone Company at the mer.y of th1
city Council, and it is fo. that body
tc, say what disposition shall be made
OF the franchise and property Of the
company. There is no disposition in
