ARMY AND NAVY NEWS.
Conservation of Navy Yards and Army
Posts-Forests at Forts.

Washington, July 23.-The joint army
and navy board, composed of engineer
officers, has made its report on the re-
lief it Is POSSIBLE to obtain at the Mare
Island navy yard. This is subject
which has long engaged the attention
Of the naval authorities, for the rea-
son that it has lately appeared prob
able that the only effective way OF
treating the situation was to get rld
of the plant at Vallejo, Cal, and es-
tablish another navy yard on San
Francisco bay. Secretary Metcalf made
a special point Of the matter in his an
nual report, and the people in the VI
entity of the yard have been much
wrought up over the possibility that
the government plant would be closed
or transferred. 1t now appears that the
special board sent out to ascertain
whether it is possible to establish
permanent Improvement of the APP
proaches has found that the desired re-
suit can be obtained by installing
system Of hydraulics in the narrow
straits, which, under existing condl-
tons, are constantly filling IN ana m
terfering with navigation to such an
extent that the largest ships OF war
are not able to get to the yard except
ing under the most favorable condl-
tons Of tide, and then only by cXercls-
ing the greatest care. 1t viii take
special appropriation from Congress 10
make provision for the work now pro-
posed, but as the administration is III
favor of keeping the plant at Mare Is
| land, if possible, an urgent recOnncn-
| dation Will be made for the allotment.
An inquiry is being made by the war
| department into the state of the trees
| on military reservations, with q special
view to preserving the forests. The for
| estry bureau has been anxious to I'M
dertallc this work, but it was consider
| ed advisable to retain military control
over the territory in all respects. There
| has been much correspondence in an
effort to bring about the results de-
| sired by the government forcSterS, who
| appreciate the necessity of the work.
| 1t las been decided to assign an officer
| Of the uuartermastcr's department to
| the general duty, and he will work in
| conjunction with the forestry bureau,
acting upon the advice from that OK
pert source of information. Some of the
| military reservations are particularly
well equipped with forests, notably the
| Preside of san Francisco and West
Point At the latter place landscape

with the idea of bcautifyjng the

NEW CURE FOR STOMACH.
Bowditch, Webster & Co., Give kenne-
bee Readers Chance to Try 1t.

Druggists do not often guarantee
anything.
But Bowditch, Webster & Co, assure
persons suffering from distressing in
digestion that they can surely be re-
lieved.
Since nobody knows when, people
have suffered from Indigestion, sick
headaches, bloatins, dizzy spells, dis
tress after eating, sleeplcssness, and
many other symptoms of stomach
trouble and have found the usual
remedies poWerless.
At last q prescription called Mi-o-na
stomach tablets is offered to the
medical profession and general public
as a final solution of curing stomach
and intestinal troubles. Its success
everywhere has made it, in the last
few years, the acknowledged specific
it is today.
Indigestion, which is so common a
trouble. is the principal cause of a
great share of the general poor health.
1t has misleading symptoms that
seemingly have no reference to the
stomach. such as headaches. sleepless-
ness, nervous symptom, etc. These
conditions. if neglected, become
chronic and hard to shake off.
Strengthen the whole digestive sys-
tenn with Mi-o-na, and you will soon
find that the stomach and bowels do
their work as they should. There Will
be no distress after eating, and the re-
fuse will be expelled from the system
without the aid of physic.
Bowditch. Webster & Co. have so
much faith in the power of Mi-o-na to
cure stomach ills that they give
guarantee with every 50-cent box to
refund the money if the remedy does
not do all that is claimed for it. They
take all the risk, and you cannot afford
to pass by reliable medicine that is
sold in this way.
Sold and guaranteed in Waterville

" ION at German Capital!

Berlin, July 23--Thomas J: Gargan,
one Of the transit commissioners of
Boston, was operated, upon success
fully in this city today for stomach
affection by Prof, i<oerts, an eminent
surgeon. Prof Boas, a stomach spec
ialiSt, advised the operation saying That
otherwise Mr.. Gargan would starvc to
death because of the construction of he
channel connecting the stomach with
the small intcstincs. Prof. koerte at
tachcd this intestine to the stomach
and cut an opening through which food
will pass to the lower digestive APP
paratus.
The operation lasted for so minutes.
Mr. Gargan was cheerful and tod
amusing stories before being placed on
the table and going under the ether.
He emerged in apparently good condi-
ton. 1T will be 10 days before the re-
suits of the operation can be fully
determined.

Women who become pale and lose

such a tonic as DR.. Williams Pink

The case of Miss Gefevieye Van De
Wort of Daren Center, Eenesee Co, N.

over the country that Her c6fe by DR..

suffering girl and woman to try this

that I could hardly breathe. My kid

a great deal. My complexion became
yellow and an ugly rash broke out
over my face. There were sharp
pains in my right leg and foot, my
limbs became numb, and my hands
were useless for a long time on this
account. My hands and legs were icy
cold and l became so nervous and
weak that the least eXertion tired me

but was run down to 122 pounds. My

The results achieved by the installa-
tior of the new water system on the
State camperound are proving far bet
ter than was anticipated, even by the
most Sanguinc advocates of The SyS-
tenn. and the supply of water is ample
for all needs. In speaking of the work
ing of the system Gen. Farnham said
Thursday that there had been pumped
from tho well during the past three
days. aud not pumping over five hours
per day, 10000 gallons of water. There
is a pressure of 10 pounds to the
square inch and the force is sufficient
to throw a stream of water over any
of the buildings on the field. The steel
tank in which the water is stored has
a capacity of between 100000 and $780,
900 gallons The quality of the water Is
as excellent as the supply.
