CLAIM STRANGE GIFT.

OF this power Is the fact that no one
receiving the Eft can use II for any
other than purposes OF cxhortation.
Frequently the inspired person speaks
In u language totally unknown to him

a foreign nationality who happens Ia
be In the audience.
Occasionally one of the members
will speak In n language unknown Ia
any one present. As result OF this
wonderful power they expect to send
abroad missionaries TO China and
India.

When 800 women want to marry

President Roosevelt is said to be
very proud of Judge Lands the
able and fearless district judge of
Northern Illinois, who is going to
fine the Standard Oil company
$29, 900, 600 which penalty, however
heavy, is not commensurate with
its black crimes and sins. The
Standard Oil company firmly be-
lieves that this nation is a small
affair beside the colossal oil, compa-
ny. and it is high time to find out
whether the standard oil com pany is
to own this country or the people.
The Interstate Commerce Commits
sion, which recently investigated
and reported on the Standard Oil
company said they have employed
methods but little short of highway
robbery and were, in fact, guilty of
nearly all the crimes of the decalo-
que, Judge Lands seems to be a
Judge above being bribed, and when
Lands and Roosevelt shall have
brought this ''insolent monster to
it's knees, and braiued it," we will
indulge in some more hero worshin.

went into effect Jan. LIST, 1906.
Merchants should be careful
how they sell these goods, or

it is presumed that Washburn

with the law. there can be no
harm in publishing it here for
the guidance of those who dc not
know it and for those who are
willing to aid in enforcing it.
Chapter 40, Laws Of 1905 reads
as follows:
mo person shall sell or keep

bring into the state for use there
in, any firecrackers. containing
dynamite, chlorate of potash, or

What The Kidneys Do.
Their Unceasing Work Keeps Us Strong
and Healthy.

All the blood in the body passes
through the kidneys once every
three minutes. The kidneys filter
the blood. They work night and
day. When healthy they remove
about 500 grains of impure matter
daily, when unhealthy some part of
tuis impure matter is left in the
blood. This brings on many dis
eases and symptoms-pain in the
back. headache. nervousness. hot,
dry skin, rheimatism, govt, gravel,
disorders of the eyesight and hear
ing, dizziness, irregular heart, de-
bility, drowsiness, dropsy, deposits
in the urine, ETC., But if you keep
the filters right you will have no
trouble with your kidneys.

Notes From w Washington
From Our Regular Correspondent.

| from our Regular correspondent. ~
Now that the country is trem-
bling on the verge of what may
be the biggest telegraph strike
in its history, it might seem a
good thing from the viewpoint of
the i'll informed outsider, for the
Industrial arbitration commiss-
that has been established with
the Presidents peace prize mon
ey to take hand in the discus
sion. So little has been heard
of this com mission since it was
appointed, that many people
may need to be reminded of it's
existence, President Roosevelt
was awarded a little less than
$4,000 last year as the peace
prize from the Nobel Fund of
Sweden. This money be de-
clined to use, ond turned it over
to board of industrial arbitra-
ton for the settlement of strikes
and disputes between labor and
capital. There were two cabl-
net officers, the chief justice of
the Supreme court, representa-
tiyes of labor and capital. and of
the general public on the board.
The board has no permanent
home. not going to the expense
of renting quarters, but makes
it's headquarters so far as it has
any, in the Office of the Secre-
tary of Commerce and Labor.
Since it has been appointed, the
president has had nothing more
to do with it officially. He sim
ply furnished the money and
the idea. both of which were
good, and left the board to do
the best it could for the country.
But the board up to date has
done nothing. Both the Secre-
tary of Agriculture md the Sc
cretary of Commerce and Labor
were asked this week if they
were not going to see if they
could do something with the
telegraph situation. But they
replied that it did not seem to
be a matter of enough national
Importance to warrant their
taking a hand. If the situation
is allowed to continue and the
strike spreads as it is very like
ly to do, it may develop into
situation that not only will be
plenty large enough for the COM
mission to take notice Of. but
may be entirely too big for them
to handle.

tanned as it is today and it
ought not to be. The ten
dency these days is to build
up a monopoly in protected
articles. Alexander Hamil-
ton, Henry Clay, John Sher-
man. William Mckinley and
every other great Apostle of
protection always maintained
that competition has been
suppressed and the American
people handed over TO mono
poles and we must change
this or protection will be
swept away.
In regard to government
ownership of railroads, Mr..
LaFollette said:
what is the argument for
government ownership? What
is there to all this talk about
it? Why, merely that we
ought to have butter service
and more reasonable rates
and that government owner
ship is the only way to get
these things. Now listen:
The United States supreme
court and the supreme court
of every state that has ever
passed on the question has
decidee that we have the pow
er to make the railroads give
us good service and reason
able rates. Then, why pay
S., 900, O0O,O for the rail
roads just to get what we al
ready have, the power to
make them give us? But if
government control should
fail. then government owner
ship must follow"

MISS COCHRAN OUT
Hospital Discharges Would be Suicide-Home in Fair
 Haven.

After being in the New Haven hos pital about twenty-four hours, Miss Margaret Cochran, the young woman who attempted to commit suicide by taking poison on a trolley car coming in from Derby Saturday afternoon, was discharged yesterday afternoon and al- lowed to go to her home. The hospit- al did not get the girls address but it was learned that her home is in Fair Haven. Her reason for the attempt on her life were not learned as she stead- fastly refused to tell the authorities the wherefore of her act.
 The carbolic acid which the girl drank did not have much effect upon her as it was removed very quickly from her stomach by prompt assistance rendered to her at the time she drank if
