Senator Allen, once among the most
conspicuous leaders on the floor of
the United States senate, says he
takes little interest in politics now
and maintains no active relation with

concern in all public affairs from an
observers standpoint. On the matter
Of Judge Landis' fine Of the Standard
Oil company, the senator said:
"The fine imposed by Judge Lands
against the Standard Oil is all right.
But its payment is another question.
The Standard Oil people will, of
course, appeal the case, and then,
whatever the result, it will go to the
supreme court, and four or five years
will elapse before it is finally settled.
The fine may then be scaled down to
100000 or $4,0OO,OOO, or the case
may be reversed. The American peo-
pie are easily forgetful and forgiving."
Senator Allen said he wanted to
hear Senator LaFollette speak while
here, but could not. He pronounces
the Wisconsin senator good fighter

SCHAVLAND IS % RUN
DECIDES TO ACCEPT NOMINATION
FOR COUNTY JUDGE.
PETITION FILED IN HIS BEHALF

Friends Of Chris Schavland Filled Pc
tition Placing His Name on the Prl-
mary Election BalIot-Given Five
Days to Decide.
Chris Schavland, county treasurer
of Madison county, has decided to &C
cept the nomination for county Judge
on the republican ticket at the pri-
mary election, which means that he
will be the candidate of the party at
the general election in November. Mr..
Schavlands name will appear on the
primary ballot under peculiar circum-
stances.
Last Saturday evening, after the fl
ings for nomination had been closed
In the office Of the county clerk, it
was found that a petition was among
the filings asking that the name of
Mr.. Schavland be placed on the ballot
for county Judge at the primary cleo
ton. The petition had been filed by
friends Of Mr.. Schavland without first
consulting him as to whether such
action would be agreeable to him or
not.
Under the law Mr.. Schavland was
allowed five days after the filings to
say whether he would accept the nom.
ination or not. He took the matter
under advisement and concluded that
il his friends were as enthusiastic as
appeared from the effort they had
made on his behalf that he was scarce
ly in position to refuse, and his name
will appear on the ticket.
UP to the time that the petition was
filed for Mr.. Schavland no name had
position Of county judge, so that his
name is needed to complete the party
ticket.

LAKES TO THE GULF.
Ship Canal From Lake Erie to the
Ohio River.

Ship Canal From Lake Erie to the
Ohio River.
1t is announced that the surveys
for the proposed canal from Lake Erie
to the Ohio river have been completed.
Land for the right of way is now be-
ing rapidly acquired, and active dig
ging on the waterway will, it Is stat
ed, begin early next spring. When
the big undertaking is complete it
will be possible for lake vessels to
carry iron ore direct from Lake SUI
perior to furnaces in the Pittsburg
district and to send coal from the
western Pennsylvania mines to upper
lake ports.
1t will require about six years to
complete the task and an expenditure
of no less than $75,OO0000. The pro-
posed canal will be 1873 miles in
length, III feet in width and Is feet
deep. A special line of boats will be
constructed for this traffic. The canal
will follow the natural water way as
nearly as possible. 1t will connect
with Lake Erie at point few miles
west of Ashtabula, run southwark
through Creek valley, the Mahoning
river and Beaver creek and join the
Ohio river at Beaver, Pa, about thirty
miles southwest of Pittsburg. The canal
will pass through Youngstown, Ohio,
New Castle, Beaver Pa, and by means
of the Ohio and Monongahela rivers
will touch scores of furnaces and other
industrial plants and coal fields along
the route for a distance of over It's
miles from the starting point.

IT'S YOUR KIDNEYS.
Don't NJ stake the Cause OF Your

Shows How to Cure Them.

Don't NJ stake the Cause of Your
Troubles. n Wilmington Citizen
Shows How TO Cure Them.
Many people never suspect their
kidneys. If suffering from a lame,
weak Or aching back they think that
it is only a muscular weakness; when
Urinary trouble sets in they think it
will soon correct itself. And so it is
with all the other symptoms Of kind
ney disorders. That is just where the
danger lies. You must cure these
troubles or they may lead to diabetes
Or Bright'S disease. The best remedy
to use is Doan's Kidney Pills. It cures
all ills which are caused by weak or
diseased kidneys. Wilmington people
testify to permanent cures.
R. A. Biddle, clerk at Market street
Wilmington, N. c., says: Il used
Doan's Kidney Pills myself for kidney
trouble and my wife who suffered
from backache also used them. I new
err used anything to act 50 quickly. l
have suffered for quite a long time
with my back and kidneys. The kid
ney secretiOns were very dark and full
of sediment. My wife also complain
ed of her back, and when we read OF
Doan's Kidney Pills in our newspa-
pers l went to R. r. Bel1amy's drug
store and got a box. We used them
with the best of results. In my case
the kidney secretions cleared up and
the pains left my back. We have
neither Of us complained since taking
Doan's Kidney Pills, and it is with
pleasure that I recommend them at
every opportunity"
Itch! Itch! Itch!-Scratch! Scratch!
Scratch! The more you scratch the
worse the itch. Try Doan's Oint-
ment. 1t cures piles, eczema, any skin
itching. All druggists sell it.

rell was placed under arrest Wednes-
day afternoon and he was released I'M
der a $500 bond, until Thursday norm

magistrate, and he was bound over to
