HEARD IN PASSING.

It is an unusual midsummer Mon- day when the front page" newspa- per record of Sunday motorcar ac- cidents does not trail of with a continued on second page" Yes- terday the headlines, ran: Train Smashes Auto" Auto Hits Trolley Car," Machine Goes Over Grade, '' Auto Hits Wall," etc. Add Auto Turned Turtle,' and Child Run Down by Auto" and is it not typi- cal Sundays sport?-Springfield Re publican.
 The West Point board of officers cannot reverse its findings, which were of fact. Colonel Scott cannot change his order of dismissal with out wrecking discipline and making the anti-hazing law a dead letter. Perhaps if the president yielded less readily to his impulsive desire, now of stern justice, now of clemency, in matter not properly before him, poor Loeb, would not get so fright. fully tangled up and make so many blunders with his facts.-New York Times.
 Governor Magoon Is delighted with the good order of Saturdays elections in Cuba, and everyone must rejoice with him. It will be easy, however, to be misled in the mat ter, for 1t is much too early to say as the governor does that the suc- cess of the new and complicated election law is assured. It will take al NA strate that; and even if the cleo lions were quiet, it remains to be seen whether the results will be ac- cepted by those defeated for office. New York Evening Post.
 Announcement from New Haven that President Mellen has issued an order to put a stop to the filthy practice of splitting in the cars of the New Haven road will be re- ceived with pleasure by all lovers Of decency and particularly those who appreciate how great a men, ace to health the habit of expector- ating in public places is. It ought not to be necessary to tell people of ordinary intelligence not to spit Oh the floor of passenger car, but un- fortunately there is still a great lack of good sense in regard to such matters and there Is no doubt of the need of such an order.-New Lon don Day.
 Reduced to its simplest terms Nil Hltchcock's plan of campaign spells team work as is natural in sup port of a Yale candidate for the presidency. It is by team work that Yale wins her numerous athletic victories. and it is upon the superior team work of the members of the national committee, chairmen of state organizations and Taft "roo:. CTS" that Mir Hitchcock counts on building up a machine" for this campaign, which, from the stand point of administration and efficien- cy is expected to make anything previously done by national chair, men of either party look very small and futile. Partisan strategy changes as well as partisan doctrine. Boston Herald.

There is work" for the Sunshine clubs in New York for the Woman's league which looks after the inter- ests of working women. reports that 10000 women are unable to find work. The Woman's league appears to have a more practical view of busi- ness than the republican Sunshine clubs and evidently does not believe that mere faith in prosperity will pro- duce 1t. Therefore, the league has named August Is as Prosperity day" and to make sure that 1t sill bring relief to some women workers. the league is urging influential enplCy- CTS in that state to increase the num- ber of their women workers on or be- fore that date. If there are 70,G00 women out of work in New York. what is the number of unemployed men that are suffering in consequence of mistaken republican policies that produce panics and prolonged busi- ness depression?

HIDDEN DANGERS.

Uric acid is a deadly poison that Is produced In the human body, and 1t is the duty of the kidneys to collect this poison from the blood. and to pass 1t safely out of the system, together with all waste water.
 It is the presence in the body of an excess of uric acid that causes so much pain and suffering, and SO many of the aches that are commonly at- tributed to rheumatism.
 The kidneys are bean-shaped or gans, composed of masses of little tubes, all of which pour their secre- tions into a main channel that leads to the bladder. In this way the kid neys pass off more than an ounce of poison every day when in health.
 But 1t does not take much to set the Kidneys back. and when they get behind. they can not right themselves without help. The uric scid beglus 10 clog the kidneys. causing that dull heavy aching in the back and sharp twinges when stooping or lifting. It crystallizes in the muscles and joints and every turn or twist brings keeu- est torture. It attacks the nerves with neuralgia and sciatica- It brings headache, dizziness lsnguor, and disorder of the urine.
 Try 6 good kidney medicine. if you have any of the above symptoms.

Speaking of Bryan's chances of election a writer for a New York pa per after interviewing a number of men has this to say: In New Haven one was given oE-hand a list containing a dozen or more names of men who had voted for Cleveland. who in 1896 voted for Palmer and Buekner, and in subse- quent elections for Mckinley and Roosevelt but who this year had de- elared their intention of supporting Bryan Personal inquiry of the men on this list in every case elicited a coTro5oration of the current infor- nation that they intended 10 vote for Bryan and Kern. h the main. they gave the same reasons for coming back into the party. That Taft was a second edition of Roosevelt and they preferred Bryan to either. On the list were bankers.

The steel trust is reported to have but 56 per cent of the capacity of its plants producing, and yet the shares are constantly enhancing in price in Wall street The steel trust common stock dividend for the last quarter was one-half of one per cent or at the rate of ? per cent per annum. The stock is now quoted at 45, so it pays a little over per cent, but whether that dividend is now being earned is very doubtful. The price of steel has been cut, but wages are the same, so that the profits must show a large decrease from last year, with not much over 50 per cent of the busi- ness. Why does the steel trust stock advance so greatly under such cir, cumstances. It must be caused by manipulation pure and simple and that must be influenced by something that is expected to happen in the fu- ture. Is it the promise of the re- publican leaders that the tariff which protects the steel trust from foreign competition is to be increas- ed, instead of revised downward? Or will wages be put down after cleo tion," so that the trust can pay lar ger dividends? There are other in- stances of evident manipulation of the price of stocks in Wall street that have less apparent reason for advanc- ing just now. Is the job already put up for a general wage reduction "af- ter election" also an increase of rail- road rates? It certainly looks that way. There will be Bryan scare" due about September 15, and stocks may tumble, for the republican man. agers will need something to fright en the corporations into furnishing more poodle to finish the job of say ing the country"

her dowry in coin and jewelry dis posed about her person. The "gol- den girdle of maidenhood" encircles her waist, and in 1t is an unsheathed dagger. When this is gently re- moved by passing gallant and pre- sently returned it means that a pro- posal has been made.
 A prettier custom prevails among the ooraon maidens, who at stated intervals assemble in the market place. In front of each is a lighted lamp, emblem of conjugal fidelity. A young man feels attracted. He gent ly blows upon the flame, extinguish- ing 1t. The girl relights it; it is a rejection. If she leaves 1t alone the offer Is acceptable.
 Even in England these curious markets are not unknown, although they are not openly acknowledged as such. One has been held on St. Martha's hill, Surrey, on each recur- ring Good Friday during some cen- turies. And the statute and mop fairs that are still celebrated in va rious rural localities are marriage marts in all but name-Pearson's s Weekly. s

 Doan's Kidney Pills are recom- mended by your own townspeople.
 Waterbury Testimony.
 James Connally, ot s4 East Clay street, Waterbury, Conn. says: "Doan's Kidney Pills cured me of backachs and kidney trouble after I had suf- fered for years and had doctored for 1t without getting relief. Thomas Mil- Ter, a friend of mine boarding at this house, was all broken up on account of his back paining him. He was weak in the lolns and SO badly troubl- ed that he was honaesick. He had as bad a case of kidney trouble and backache as I eveH saw. I told him about Doan's Kidney Pills and asked him to send to HI W. Lake Drug Company for box He began taking them and in few days was back at work. His back is as strong as ever now. A number of cases have come to my notice where Doan's Kidney Pills have cured people of kidney com plaint and backache. look upon them as a certain cure. My own ex- perience with them was some years sgo and have not had to use any kidney medicine since"

Presidents Secretary Hus,Iino.

Oyster Bay, \. Y., Aug. 12.-The un- usual activity at the government ex- ecutive offices here, which has been apparent for almost a week both dur ing the day and at night, has become the subject of considerable curiosity. Acting Secretary to the President Ru- dolph Forster and the force of clerks under him recently have been the hardest worked in the village. Their duties begin early and at times have continued far into the night The ex- ecutive office staff has been augmented by the arrival of two clerks from the Washington executive offices.

The whole question decided by the United States circuit court in the Standard Oil case was not the amount of the fine as President Roosevelt jumped to the conclusion it was, but whsther the trust had knowledge of the tariff sheet from which it is said to have accepted concession" |" Judge Landis refused to admit evil dence on that point and the circuit court overruled him and threw the case out of court.

poubI. Shooting With Stolen Pistol.

Rochester, N. l.. Aug. 12.-Stuart Smith, a man about twenty-six years of age, went to the boarding place of his wife, May Smith, laundry work CT. and shot her three times in the left cheek, perhaps fatally. The man then put a bullet into his own head, caus- ing death. The woman Is about thir- ty years of age. Smith is said to have been a man without trade or regular work, and he had been separated from his wife three times. To commit the crimes Smith stole a revolver, and the police were after him to recover the weapon and prevent the shooting, which was anticipated, when it was done.

 Sayville, N. Y., Aug. 12.-When late sleeping guests at the Hotel Elmore descended to breakfast they found the prettiest girls and most dignified ma- irons of the hostelry opening the nap- kins, passing the cereals and announc- ing:
 We have bluefsh, weakfish, steaks, chops and eggs"
 What, ho, landlord?" demanded the late corners of J. Davis Secor, the pro- prietor -
 I'll tell you what, hor' Secor replied. I've fired that rah-rah bunch of wait CTS. I'm done with all university stu dents./ I'll assist no more young men to work their way through college. Any man that wears an apron in this exclusive pension after this must say 'ain't' and smoke a clay pipe and be unable to tell a mandolin from a gar den rake"
 Male Guests Happy.
 The male guests solemnly shook Se- COTS hand in gratitude and said they'd yell "Rah, rah, rahr if they didn't think it would hurt his feelings.
 All of which occurred because the fifteen high browed university youths who were engaged to wear the white aprons and serve food at the Elmore couldn't get away from the idea that they were guests instead of servants.
 Each night they donned their white ducks, fraternity pins and vivid hosiery and, marching en masse to the parlor, assailed the piano with the strains of "I've Been Workin' on the Railroad" "Bingo Was His Name" and Dear Old Alma Mater"
 Following this performance, they seized upon the fairest misses in the house and carried them far away from their chaperons. They also conf1scat- ed the dimmest corners of the lawns and prettiest sections of water front.
 Kept the Phone Going.
 Tn the afternoons. 1t is said. they firted with the girls of the country side and when they couldn't get to them spent half hours in monopolizing the hotel phone for the transmission of fond messages.
 Finally they tried to correct the Ger man chefs grammar and pronuncia- tion, and he went to Secor with this ultimatum, "Raus init dem hoyss, or go back by der city tonight"
 So they went. And then Secor had no walters, but the women turned in or rather turned out-and helped him.
