AN OPTIMISTIC COLONEL.

Colonel Henry Watterson of Ken lucky, who is in New York in charge of the publicity department of the democratic national committee, is all together the most joyous figure in national politics that this country has seen in many years. The colonel is an ardent soul, and after fighting Bryan in two campaigns is now dis playing all the zeal of a new con- vert in his cause. He dictates 40O0 or 5000 words a day to stenographers, which causes the reporters on the New York papers to marvel. This is really a small matter for the colonel, however. When the campaign once warns up he will undoubtedly be found dictating 10000 or 5O,OOO words daily to stenographers, besides editing his newspaper, and entertain ing rural editors who come to town to report progress and imbibe good cheer at the fount of political knowl edge, or at the Hoffman House bar. as their habits and the state of the party treasury may permit.

THE A1LANIIC FLEET
 IN NEW ZEALAND
The Inhabitants Go to All Lengths for
 Its Entertainment.

Aukland, Aug. 11.-No more beauti= full sight was ever witnessed on the picturesque Elerslie race course than today when a special race meeting was held for the entertainment of the of- ficers and men of the American At lantic fleet.
 Admiral Sperry's staff and all offic- CTS who could be spared from duty aboard ship and the entire contingent of enlisted men on shore leave were present.
 After the races Admiral Sperry and 200 officers of the fleet proceeded as guests of Prime Minister Ward and members of the parliament to Rotorut, in the township of Thermaldist, in the heart of North island, III miles from Auckland by rail, where tomorrow a magnificent bath house will be opened. In connection with this function will occur a great gathering of Maori tribesmen who will dance their famous war dances for the Americans.
 For the night various sports and en- tertainments are arranged for the tackles.
 All the officers of the American fleet who did not accompany the admiral to Rotorua will be dined by the or phans' club in the evening.

How Jack London lost his land-legs after twenty-seven days aboard the Shark is divertingly recounted by the author in the current Harper's Weekly in the following words: 'I spraddled along the wharf and nearly fell into the water. l glanced at Chairman, and the way she walked made me sad. The wharf had all the seeming of a ships deck. It lifted, tilted, heaved, and sank; and since there were no hand rails on it, it kept Charmian and me busy avoiding falling in. l never saw such preposterous litle wharf. When ever I watched it closely it refused to roll; but as soon as I took my attention off of it, away it went, just like the

SHORT CAMPAIGN FUNDS.

SHORI CAMPAlNIN T O NlJo.
 This is 9 bad presidential year for those campaign grafters to whom national campaigns have hitherto fur nished easy money. The indications now are that the expenditures for the present campaign will he less than at any time since those carly days of "Jeffersonian simplicity" Neither of the national committees is receiving the sums they expected wEile both had planned extensive .au paisns Of education which cost money. There may Le q loose1ins Cf the Fl rse strings a little lauer cn when enthusiasm grows and the fight progresses, but the lOosening will not be to such an extent that the old time political hangers-on shall wax fat as aforetime A tab will be kept on every dollar and its results will be accurately estimated.
 The poverty of the parties will be a good thing after all if it should drive the camp followers into some useful occupation. That would off set to a large extent the possibility that many people may not be as highly educated as they would if there were more money to pay their tuition in the great American college of politics. For, so much of the information conferred upon voters in campaign time is transformation after all

To have the pains and aches of bad
back removed; to be entirely free from
annoying, dangerous urinary disorders
is enough to make any kidney sufferer
grateful. To tell how this great change
can be brought about will prove comfort
ing words to hundreds of Brownsville
readers.
Mrs. T. o. shinn of 500 Capitol ave-
nue.. Houston, Texas Says: 81 am just
as glad to recommend Doan's Kidney
Pills today as I was in 1892. when they
cured me of bud attack of kidney
backache and lameness. The trouble
had ext nded often up to the back of
my neck aud had frequent spells OF
dizziness. Itldid not require quite two
boxes of Doan's Kidney Pills to give
me complete and radical cure. There
has been no relapse 10 my former trou-
bic. My advice to anyone in Houston
suffering in this manner is to get Loan S
Kidney Pills and give them trial.

Board Extends Time

The joint boards of super
visors of Monona- Harrison
counties met in Onawa, Mon
day, to consider the big ditch
proposition, which has been at
a standstill for several weeks
at the south end of the ditch.
The boat of the Faris-Kesl
Co., which is throwing the dirt
in the south of the ditch dis
trict, was sunk some weeks ago
and during the time the boat
and crew have been idle, the
high waters have come and
overfilowed a large number of
the farms in the vicinity of the
Sioux river. The farmers are
protesting vigorously against
their loss. The boards at their
meeting Tuesday granted the
company until August first to
get their boat in shape and
throw dirt in sufficient proper
lions to the capacity of the
ditching machine. The COM
Ipany feels that it can get busy
within that time and will en-
deavor to do so.
The Monona county board
held a regular session Tuesday
and Wednesday and canvassed
the returns of the primary
election for the county, and al
lowed the usual grist of bills
