.BATTLESH|P INDIANA
HAS CLOSE CALL

The Navy Department has just made
public the fact that through a fire in
her coal bunkers on the morning of
September 5 the battleship Indiana,
now at the League Island navy yard,
Pennsylvania, undergoing repairs, mar
rowly escaped destruction, the ammuni-
ton in the adjacent magazines being
safely removed only by the exhibition
OF the greatest courage on the part of
the crew.
No damage resulted from the fire,
which was caused by spontaneous COM
bustion of coal. The work of removing
the ammunition from the adjacent
twelve-inch and six-inch magazines, ac-
cording to the report, proceeded in the
usual quiet way, just as if the men
were at drill, and most of the ships
company were not aware of anything
unusual until after the fire had been
extinguished. The two magazines and
the shellrooms became dangerously
heated, and were flooded to a depth
of twenty inches. Lieut.. Commander
j. L. Sticht directed the fire party,
consisting of Gunner L. C. Hull and
nine men, who entered the magazines
and removed the ammunition. The six
boxes nearest the bulkhead were SO hot |
as to be handled with difficulty, while |
the bulkhead and thirteen-ineh shells
were so hot that they burned the hands
and blistered the paint. The coal on
tlre was flooded and removed from the
bunkers, and the bulkheads and shells
were sprayed with water until the tenn
Perature dropped to normal.
The following are given as the names
OF the men who first entered the maya
zines and We're recommended for brave
ry by the commanding officer: G. W.

NONEN'S NOES
HONOLULU WOMEN ARE FINDING
RELIEF AT LAST.

1t does seem that women have more
than a fair share of the aches and
pains that afflict humanity; they must
keep up must attend to duties in
spite of constantly aching backs, or
headaches, dizzy spells, bearing-down
pains; they must stoop over, when to
stoop means torture. They must walk
and bend and work with racking pains
and many aches from kidney ills. Kid
neys cause more suffering than any
other organ of the body Keep the
kidneys well and health is easily main
tained. Read of a remedy for kidneys
only that helps and cures the kidneys
and is endorsed by people you know.
Mrs. Emma Vieira, of King street,
Honolulu, says: For three or four
years I had the misfortune to be af-
f1icted with an aching back. The pain
and discomfort this entailed on me can
be better imagined than described. I
have two children, and it was of course
difficult for me to attend to them
while oppressed with suffering. The
way in which I found relief eventually
was by using Doan's Backache Kidney
Pills, procured at the HOLSTER Drug
Co.'S store. They did me a large
amount Of good, as I now testify.
should certainly recommend those who
have backache or any other form of
kidney trouble to try Doan's Backache

THE PHILIPPINE
TARIFF ISSUE
viii Come Up Next Session.
MIR. DaIzeII on Revision
of Tariff.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 9.-"Durin;
| the coming sessi III Of Congress an
other attempt will be made to enae
helpful legislation for the Filipinos III
the way of allowing their tobacco and
sugar to enter this country free OF
duty" declared Representative John
Dalzeu of Pennsylvania, tonight. This
legislation is much needed by the Fill
pinos and should have been enacted
long ago. 1t passed the House, but
was held up in the Senate Committee
on the Philippines.
II am not in favor of giving the
islands complete free trade on all
articles with the mainland of the Uni
ted States at the present time, but I
believe that some remedial legislation
should be passed. In fact, think that
it is possible that this will be the
largest piece OF legislation discussed
during the coming winter, outside of
the regular appropriation bills
AS Mr. Dalzen is a member of the
Committee on Rules and is, therefore.
a power in framing legislation in the
House, he was asked his opinion of the
prospects of tariff revision.
Have you been converted this sum-
mer to revision of the TARIFF" he was
asked.
Not yet" he replied, with a smile.
IT do not believe THAI It is necessary
to revise the tariff. I am in favor of
letting it remain just the way it is "a
present. The schedules have worked
and have built up the
present prosperity of the country.
However, there probably will be a
declaration in the next Republican
platform favoring revision. In that
case, 1 believe the tariff should be re-
vised along, conservative protectionist
lines. I DIP not at the present time
expect to see the question of revision
made an issue in the campaign, unless
in an Incidental way, there being a.
difference between the parties and the
methods of revision recommended.
Senator Knox is the proper man
10 carry out such policy, and am.
If course. in favor of his candidacy for
he Presidency, but it is too early to
ak about candidates. In my opinion. |
/ man only hurts his candidate by
saying too much too early. We yet |
rave session of Congress before us,
he action of which will largely depend |
lpon the Presidents message. Much
nay happen before the next cam
'aign.''

TALLADZGA MAY

ROAD COMMITTEE MAKES A PAR HAL REPORT-AN 9-MONTH-O BOY WEIGHTS 52 PoUNDs-DE. MAND FOR LABOR.

Talladega, June ,. = Special 1-Win smith, ordinarily called "Slim," a eolored man, who came to Taladega from Monte yallo, dropped dead from the effect of d hemorrhage in Irby's stable at 3 o'clock Tuesday afternoon.
 The road committee sent by the com missioner's court to inspect the highways of Jackson county handed in a partial re- port to the court of commissioners yes terday. They say that Jackson county constructed her roads when labor was cheap; that the material in that county was abundant as well as close at hand; therefore Jackson built her roads at d cost of $2100 per mile, but that 1t is in- advisable for Talladega to attempt build ing bikes at the present price of labor and distance from material, especially as this county has more than 150 miles of road. However local acts will be in- troduced in the coming legislature pro- Yiding for the future construction of roads in 1908, after the question is submitted to vote of the people
 Notice appears in the local papers of an intended bill to be introduced in the next legislature fixing the salary of the judge of the city court of this county at s27O0 The work of thls official Is very arduous and the court is in session uninterrupted ly for nine months in the year.

 He was accosted by husky black with an old style forty-four, and told to throw up his hands and deliver the goods. MT. Stein had an axe in his hand at the time, but he lost the axe at she same time his nerve took flight
 He states that something told him that the negro intended pulling off the Jessie James stunt at his expense, and before the negro reached him he managed Q slip his watch in his hat and the negro only received for his trouble an old two- bladed Barlow, and a small piece of Schnapps. The negro was very much dis appointed with the result of his haul and went away mumbling about the cheap ness of some people.

New Southern penot.

It has been rumored for the past days that the Southern railway is contemplat- ing the erection of freight and passen- ger depot on Nineteenth street, near Thir- teenth avenue. So far nothing definite has been learned. As the situation now stands the Southern uses the tracks of the Alabama Great Southern as far as Mo- bile junction, where 1t turns off and goes over it's own tracks. The erection of the depot at the place mentioned would mean that Bessemer would be the sufferer, as the business would be handled into Bir- mingham from Mobile junction by way of Ensley.
