Women Suffer Agonies
from Diseased Kidneys
And Most Women Do This Not Knowing til
Real Cause of their Condition

These poor, suffering women
have been led to believe that their
misery of mind and body is entire
ly due to ellis Of their sex" Usually
the kidneys and bladder are re-
sponsible-or largely so. And in
such cases. the kidneys and blad-

Those torturing, enervating sick

A SUCCESSFUL OPENING
Bad Weather Has No Effect on the
Opening Of the Crescent Hotel
Grill

The formal opening of the new
grill and cafe, in connection with
the Crescent hotel. occurred Tues
day evening. That this Innovation
will prove merited success was sat
isfactoriy expressed by serving two
hundred and fifty people the first
night Of it's opening. Mr.. Schlintz,
the affable and capable hotel man,
that he is, has scored another hit
with the public, by adding to his
public hostelry the grill and cafe.
The log cabin effect carried
throughout in decorations and fur
nishings leave little to be desired in
attractiveness and general appoint
ment. which is a decided complement
to Mr.. SchlintZ' ability in catering
to the public.
The grill has 10 tables with seat
ing capacity Of so, including the
three log cabins which are arranged
at one side or the room. The equip
ment throughout would be a credit
to Seattle.

CLAY BEDS AT CENTRALIA

CENTRALIA, Dec. Local cap
italists are considering plans for de-
veloping extensive beds of clay To-
Gated two miles east of Centralia and
making this city an important point
for the manufacture of clay pro-
ducts. Experts who have examined
the deposits assert that the texture
and chemical composition is singu-
larly adapted for the manufacture
of an excellent quality OF vitrified
paving brick, the only drawback be-
ing a pronounced degree of shrink
age. 1t is claimed this undesirable
feature can be overcome by proper
chemical treatment before baking
The deposits cover 240 acres and
are close to fuel supplies and trans
portation lines. Surface indications
in the deposits show COAL but it is
not believed the Ignite is of any
valuable extent. An almost constant
brick shortage throughout Western
Washington, due largely, 1t is said,
to the inability of Sound manufac-
turers to keep pace with building
progress, is having much influence
in the local development plans.

DIES FROM EXPOSURE
Mrs. G. A. Morgan's Body Brought
to Houuiam for Interment

Mrs. C. A. Morgan, wife of the
postmaster at Tulips, and sisterin-
law of Attorney F.. l.. Morgan Of Ho-
quiam, died at II o'clock yesterday
at Bales camp, where she had been
driven by the flood.
Death occurred suddenly and is
thought to have resulted from heart
failure, brought on by excitement in
cident to the flood and the hurried
removal of her family.
Mrs. Morgan was the mother of
four sons, all of whom are small.
She was but 30 years or age, and
her untimely death is a blow to a
large circle of relatives and friends.
Mr.. and Mrs. Morgan lived on Karr
avenue, in Hoquiam. for several
years prior to their removal to Tulips
two years ago
News of Mrs. Morgan's death was
brought to the city late Tuesday
night by her two nephews. Ralph
and Russell Hoover, who left early
Tu day morning for Tulips to learn
tb condition of the residents there.
r J boys made their way on foot and
y boat, as best they could, and were
about exhausted when they returned
to Hoquiam.
Frank l.. Morgan left for Tulips
yesterday, to assist in bringing the
body of Mrs. Morgan to Hoquiam,
where the funeral will be held.

SECRET MEETING

1t is reported that the reason for
the city councils star chamber ses-
sion last night was found that Po-
liceman Tom Kelley had been dis
charged by Chief of Police George
Dean. Kelley had been discharged
from the police force on a former
occasion, and owing to recent vari-
Gus reports of alleged inefficiency he
was again dimissed by Chief Dean
last night. This action Of the chief
was at once approved by Mayor Benn
but Kelley Immediately refused to
stay canned and demanded a hear
ing by the council. The council
men, however, for reasons best
known to themselves, refused to rat
ify the action Of the mayor and the
chief of police. Kelley was merely
ordered suspended and the chief will
have to prefer his charges in writ
ing.
1t is understood that Kelley has
preferred charges against one of his
brother officers, but the charges in
question will be extremely difficult
for him to substantiate. as this Of
ficer is notably one of the most able
and conscientious on the force.

KIRMESS
Dress Rehearsal Last Night Prepar.
atory for Tonight's performance
Insures Success

With the finishing touches receiv-
ed in the dress rehearsal last night,
members of the kirmess which is to
be presented at the Grand theater
tonight and Friday night for the
benefit of the Aberdeen public lib
rary, are now prepared for the pre-
sentati0n of what promises to be one
Of the most beautiful and attractive
amateur offerings ever presented in
this city.
Many speciality numbers that for
charm of music and grace of dane
ing are extremely promising, are on
the program and prominent among
these is the Merry Widow dance by
Mrs Charles I. Prescott and p. l..
Lynwood.
The play, "The Merry Widow" "
brought from Vienna and offered on
the American stage, first in New
York, drew much of it's success for
the strength of it's music and dane
ing and probably few stopped to give
to the little story which the play
told the need of praise which it de
served

for some means of replenishing the
empty Golfers of the kingdom. The
prime minister of the kingdom, at
tempts to bring about the marriage
of the ruling pritce, dashing
young cavalier, and a beautiful Wild
ow who is extremely rich. In some
manner the young people quarrel and
the prince swears he will never tell
her of his love, while the widow on
the other han dvows that she will
make him speak.
Finally the prince tells her that
he is leaving for all time and asks
that before he takes his departure
that she dance for the last time with
him.
Then ensues the famous dance
which in the kirmess here is offered
identically as in the original produc-
tion.
Both have sworn not to show their
love and the dance is a strange. in
tense mixture of coldness and affec-
tion. Both Mrs. Prescott and Mr..
Lynwood by untiring practice have
prepared the dance exactly as 1t
would have been given under the
peculiar circumstances and Mrs.
Prescott, aside from the grace and
charm of her work, has proven a
clever actress in accomplishing the
desired end to perfection.

ANOTHER PLAT

The plat of the Union Pacific ad-
diton to Aberdeen was formally ac-
cepted by the city council last even

are Douglas Brothers, Eugene France

Cook & Co., Edward c. Finch, r. Fl.
Falconer. C. w. Miller, e. j. Bradley
and L. H. Miller The plat comprises
63 blocks of lots. A contract has
been let to John Holmlund for
thoroughly dyking and draining that
portion of the addition which lies on
the flats, and work is now going
actively ahead on that contract. A
number of the streets will be plank
ed and city water will be served
throughout the entire property. 1t
is the intention of the owners of
Union Pacific addition to place this
splendid property on the market at
an early date and sell the same at
reasonable prices and on such ex-
tremely easy terms of payment as to
give people in the most moderate
circumstances an opportunity 10 own

All records for high water on
Grays Harbor were broken yesterday,
when a 16foot tide, augmented by a
terrific southwest gale of SO miles
an hour flooded the lowlands of the
Harbor. The gale continued for As
hours and during that time the rain
fall was enormous. Every stream
in the county, swollen bank full,
poured volumes of water into the
harbor, and the heavy gale backed
up the waters, until at low tide yes
terday morning one would have
thought it was half tide.
Somewhere about the harbor is
floating a large scow laden with
gravel, the property of the Grays
Harbor Construction company, and
President Mourant of the company
fears it's total loss.
1t is impossible to com, or even
estimate the amount of damage done
by this storm. From Oakville to
Moclps, the Northern Pacific rail-
road tracks are badly damaged 1t
is estimated that fifteen miles of
track are washed out and ten miles
covered by landslides. The train
that reached here thi smorning came
through cautiously and carried no
passengers. The arrival of the mail

Possibly the largest sale of dry
goods and notions that has ever been
on Grays Harbor is now in progress
at Kaufman Brothers dry-goods
store at Heron and II streets.
During the fall months, this firm
has been receiving large invoices
from New York and Chicago, and
now find themselves with another lot
on the way. TO make room, they
find it necessary to clean out the
shoe department, and accordingly
are offering the stock at prices never
before given by them. Twice dur
ing the unprecedented sale, they
have had to close the doors, so that
customers could be properly waited
on, and the rush still continues.

CONTRACTORS HEAVY LOSERS

Probably the heaviest loser in
Chehalis county from the unprece-
dented floods and storms is the firm
of Waughren, Winters, Smith & Co.
who have the contract to complete
the Grays Harbor & Puget Sound
railroad (Union Pacific) from Roch-
ester to Hoquiam.
While there is no way to estimate
accurately the amount of damage
done. a conservative estimate places
it at 100000. Members of the
firm in this city are waiting for the
water to subside so that the damage
can be figured. All the new grade,
track and bridges are under water,
and in many instances swept away.

LOG JAM IN CHEHALIS

There is an immense log jam in
the Chehalis and thousands of logs
are tightly wedged against the N.

logs came down yesterday and the

time that the logs were so plenti-
fully rushing out Of the Harbor,

TULIPS RESIDENTS SAFE

Reports late Tuesday night from
Tulips account for all of the fam
lilies in that vicinity, except the
household of George Horton. 1t is
presumed, however, that he is safe
in the second story of his residence.
About dozen families were driv-
en- from their homes in Tulips, TAX
ing refuge at Bales camp, or the
North Western camp. No houses or
barns were washed away, but good
deal of livestock was lost.
