Keep Your Blood Pure.

No one can be happy, light-hcarted
and healthy with body full Of blood
that cannot do its duty to every part
because Of its impurity; therefore. the
first and most important work in hand
is to purify the blood 30 that every
organ will get the full benefit of a
healthy circulation. There Is no rem.
edy so good as that old family rem
edy, Brandreth's Pills. Each pill con-
tains one grain of the solid extract Of
sarsaparilla blended with two grains
Of combination Of pure and mild
vegetable products, making 1t blood
purifier unexcelled in character. One
or two taken every night for awhile
will produce surprising results.
Brandreth's Pills have been in use
for over a century, and are for sale
everywhere, plain or sugar-coated.

The first Japanese youth to be ad-

st. Mary's is Katzern Artyoshi. Art
yoshi, who is IT years old. has been
in the revenue cutter service on the
Pacific for the last three years.
AS 1t Is necessary for all foreigners
who wish to become members Of the

Artyoshi was forced to get one before
he could be admitted to the crew. He
succeeded in getting Capt. Osborn to
act in that capacity. Capt. Osborn
will coach the boy along and help him
over the hard points in his lessons
Artyoshi has not made up his mind
yet whether he will remain In this
country or go home to Japan after he
has been graduated from the school
ship. A term on the schoolship fits
a boy for service in the merchant ma
rine. Artyoshi says he likes the
United States and may stay here, but
II Japan ever goes to war he will re-
turn home quickly as possible to take

Prominent on Lecture Platform.

Senator Tillman probably earns
more money every year on the lecture
platform than any other American
who talks to the public for pay. From
an authoritative source the statement
comes that the South Cerolinian's net
proceeds thus far this year from his
lecture tour are $4,000. Senator Till
man is paid from $3.50 to $500 lee
ture and he is constantly in demand.
His season Is not confined to the sum-
merry Chautauqua course and he fills
nearly as many dates In the winter
as at any other time of the year. In
the last four years 1t is said that he
has laid aside over $4,000 from his
lecture receipts. Henry Watterson
perhaps comes next in the matter Of
earnings on the platform. Champ
Clark, of Missouri, ranks high as a
popular favorite and makes about
twice as much as a lecturer as his con-
gressional salary.

THE PROGRESS OF THE CANA.
DIAN West.
Nearly 100000 Of an Increase In Cana.
da's immigration In 1906.

The progress of new country can
not beNbetter ascertained than by not
Ing the increase of railroad mileage in
its transportation system. and, judged
by this standard, the Canadian West
leads all the countries In the world
during the current year. Thirty years
ago there was not one hundred miles
of railroad west of the Great Lakes,
and very little prospect Of trans
continental route for many years to
come, but by the end of 1885 the
Canadian Pacific Railway was within
measurable distance OF completion,
and last year-twenty years later
over 5000 miles of railroad traversed
the provinces of Manitoba, Sas-
katchewan and Alberta.
In the past year the work Of rail-
road construction has been vigorously
prosecuted. and by the end Of 1905.
some 5000 miles Of completed railroad
has been added, making total Of
fully 1900 miles In the three great
grain producing provinces OF Canada.
Such an increase in the transportation
facilities of the country Is bound to
make good times not only In the dis
tricts where the railroads are being
built, but throughout the entire west.
Allowing $4,000 mile for construc-
ton, the sum Of $100.0o0.00o will be
put in circulation. and this in itself
should cause good times to prevail In
q land where work Is plentiful, wages
are high, and the cost of living Is mod
crate.
But the building Of new railroads
through Western Canada means a
greater benefit to the country than
merely tho money put In circulation
by the cost of construction. Addition
al railway building means the opening
of new agricultural districts and an
additional area under crops; a largely
increased output Of grain to foreign
markets with consequent financial re-
turns; the erection OF elevators and
the growth of villages, towns and cit
les; and everything else that makes
for the progress of national life. and
the opening up OF additional thousands
of free homesteads, 80 extensively ad-
yertised by the Canadian government
agent, whose address appears else
where.
It was stated on the floor Of the
Canadian Parliament recently by a
prominent representative that ten
years from now would see the bulk Of
the population Of Canada residing
west Of the Great Lakes. and II the
work of railway building during the
present year is any criterion, the
prophecy made by the Canadian states
man may be easily fulfilled inside OF
the time stated. During the present
year no less than 9,064 persons have
found homes in the Canadian west,
of whom 57,796 were Americans who
have seen the great possibilities of
this new West, and have decided to
cast in their lot with 1t. Certainly,
our neighbor north Of the 49th parallel
.is making q great record, and deserves
the success that appears to be coming
its way.

Horses stilI In Demand.

Happily the horse has faculty for
upsetting the gloomy predictions that
he is fated to be put out of business
by the automobile. The horse business
has kept right on developing in spite
of the fact that the automobile indus
try has been engaged in similar un-
dertaking. The demand for horses -is
still great. The supply OF some
classes of them is inadequate. The
prices are high. The automobile may

EXPLOSION KILLED 40
Japanese Battleship Had Just Finished Target Practice
 When Affair Occurred.

Tokio, Sept 17.-Forty of the crew were killed and injured on board the Japanese battleship Kishima by the explosion of a 12-inch shell with in the shield, after target practice near Kure at 4 p. m., on September g. The Kashima, under command of Captain Koizumi, reached Kure at p. m., where the wounded were plac- ed in the hospital The fatalities in- cluded lieutenant, two cadets and one staff officer, the rank and name of whom is not given. The exact de- tails regarding the effects of the eX- plosion are lacking but it was terrific and the ship is badly damaged. e.
 The explosion followed an attempt to remove an unexploded shell from the gun. A majority of the bystand- CTS were fearfully mutilated.
 The casualties reported as the re- suit of the explosion are as follows:
 Killed, five officers (names not given. .and 22 men.
 Severely wounded, two officers and six men.
 The explosion ocurred inside of the shield of the starboard after ten- inch gun.
 It was not the shell which explod- ed but powder which evidently caus- ed the fire from the gas emitted from the breech when opened for the pur- pose of reloading the gun.
