Interest taken in certain sections of

of handsome city. During the past
sevral weeks two new improvement
clubs have been formed of the resi-

The property owners of Douglas

last night an organization was form

hogan avenue residents have been
contemplating forming an improve

SENATOR KNOX, MRS. KNOX AND THEIR WASHINGTON HOME

Der of the city law governing body
said: 1--WE believe that these i'm
provement clubs is what is needed
among the residents of every street
in the city. By getting together,
ways and means for improving the
streets can be devised and if any
assistance is needed from the city,
representatives of these clubs can ap-
pear before the city council, stating
their wants. Maybe they might not
be right for grading Or paving the
streets, but through the efforts of the
improvement clubs the red tape Incl
dent to the street work might be
done, such as establishing the grades,
passing the ordinances and the many
little details that go with opening
up and improving the streets.
Il believe that the example of
these two clubs of the city should be
emulated and improvement clubs
formed all over the city"

RAILROAD MAGNATE SAYS PEO-
Pile HAVE BEEN PROMISED
REVISION AND THEY ARE
ANXIOUS TO GET 1T.

Washington, April 16.-James j.
Hill, chairman of the board of di-
rectors of the Great Northern rail-
road, talked to several friends at the
capitol today regarding tariff legis-
lation.
"The people throughout the coun-
try feel that something has been
promised to them in the way of tar
if revision" said Mr.. Hill, "and they
want to get it,
81 have no special interest in this
tariff BILL" he continued, 'but have
an interest in the prosperity of the
country. We are tired of conditions
that have existed for the last two
years. We want to get the business
of the country on sound basis. To
do that we need to get the tariff
question out of the way"
With Mr.. Hill were J. H. Carroll,
genral counsellor of the Burlington,
and Howard Elliott, president of the
Northern Pacific. They are in Wash
ington accompanied by representa-
tives of commercial organizations OF
Seattle, Tacoma and Spokane, Wash,
and Portland, Ore, to arrange for a
tour of the country of thirty Japan
csc business men. The party expects
to talk with President Taft and

Where a rooster finds a big fat
worm he calls all the hens In the
farm yard to come and share it. A
similar trait Of human nature is to be
observed when a man discovers some
thing exceptionally good-he wants
all his friends and neighbors to share
the benefits of his discovery. This
is the touch of nature that makes the
whole world kin. This explains why
people who have been cured by Cham

to the manufacturers for publication,
that others similarly ailing may also
use it and obtain relief. Behind

DON'T BE MISLED.

The retail druggists of this coun-
try, as a class, are noted for their
high standard of intelligence and
honorable dealing, but it is we'll
known fact that occasionally you will
find one who will try to sell you
something else when you call for a
remedy of established reputation. He
forgets that your health is more i'm
portant than his pocket-book.
For example, when you ask for DR..
Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the great Kid
ney, Liver and Bladder Remedy,
don't let any druggist, drug clerk, or
| storekeeper persuade you into buying
something else in it's place. Every
time he succeeds in selling you a
worthless substitute he makes more
profit, but you are humbugged at the
expense of your health.
For many years we have watched
with much interest the remarkable
record maintained by DR.. Kilmer's
Swamp-Root. From the very begin
ming, the proprietors had so much
confidence in it that they invited
every one to send for a free sample
bottle so that people could judge OF
it's great curative value in even the
most distressing cases of kidney, liv-
er and bladder troubles.
| On another page of this paper you
will find a few of the letters, prompt
ed by feelings of heartfelt gratitude
that are constantly coming to DR.
