HOW TO KILL YOUR TOWN.

The first rule laid down by the De troit Free Press is to buy Of peddlers as much as possible.
 Denounce your merchants because they make a profit on their goods.
 Glory In the downfall Of man who has done much to build up the town.
 Make your town out a bad place and stab 1t every chance you get.
 Refuse to unite in any scheme for the betterment Of the material inter- ests of the people.
 Tell your merchants that you can buy goods a great deal cheaper in some other town and charge them with extortion.
 f a stranger comes to your town tell him every thing is overdone and predict a general crash in the town in the near future.
 Keep up divided public sentiment cn the best method Of increasing bus mess.
 When you have anything to say of your town say 1t in such a way that will leave the impression that you have no faith in It.

ITS YOUR KIDNEYS
Don't MisIsko the Cause of Your
 Troubles.

Many people never suspect their kidneys. If suffering from a lame, weak or aching back they think that 1t is only muscular weakness; when urinary trouble sets in they think 1t will soon correct itself. And so it Is with all the other symptoms of kidney disorders. Ina. is where the danger lies. You must cure these troubles or they may lead to diabetes or Brights disease. The best remedy to use is Deans Kidney Pills. It cures all Ills which are caus, ed by weak or diseased kidneys. Res idents of this vicinity are constantly testlfying to permanent cures.
 II. R. McCarver, 26S Holiday st., Portland, ore, says:
 Some years ago Doans Kidney Puls proved of great benefit to me and l publicly recommend them Since that time l have advised many of my fellow workmen to give them a trial and the results of their use have been satisfactory in every inst ance. I believe kidney trouble and backache in my case was brought on by a cold. had always been skepuc al regarding proprietary medicines tu- somehow what l read about Deans Kidney Pills impressed me Sd much that I began their use. Rehei soon followed and I have had no ser Ious return Of kidney complaint since"

BANGING TOO GOOD FOR SUCH.

Yesterday a man was sentenced in this city to two years in the peniten- tIsry for the crime Of importing a woman Into Alaska for criminal pur- poses. Evidence showed that she was duped when a mere girl. brought Into a strange land and among peO- pie whose language she could not un- aerstand. She was kept in terror through physical violence and forced to associate with people Of beastly minds and habits. After a while of course she became caIlous to her con- dIuou and accepted it as inevitable. She first endured, then pitied, and becoming familiar with the sight of sin, embraced 1t; even as you and would do.
 The law now looks after the man. He will be cared for by the govern ment and placed for a time at least where he can do no more violence to public morals. The woman. through all the weary days of sin. has kept alive a little spark of virtues fire, which f but breathed up by the ten der breath of love. may flame into generous womauhood. Her willing. ness to testify shows desire for better things. She will be returned to her home in France and there giy- eu an opportunity, let us hope.
 The case Is but one Of thousands which come yearly to the notice of the immigration officers. The ins- pector here Is especially deslrous of breaking up the gang of organized pr curers who have agents in every city in the world that are more baneful to society by their studied arts Of damnable deceit than all the black hand societies that ever infested the world. Shakespeare describes these panders as doorkeepers to hell, and We swear worse than that whenever We see one of them polluting a decen community with bis presence. 1T the immigration officers send every man to jail who attempts to live off the earnings Of unfortunate girls, they win contribute greatly toward the so- luton Of the social questiOn.-Ketch- kan Miner.

A CURIOUS CHIMNEY.

Ono In WaleB Two Miles High With a
 Brook Running Through It.
 Who ever heard of a chimney two miles high with a brook running through it? Yet such a chimney exists In connection with the copper works nt Cwmavon, near Aberavon, in Gla- morgaushire, south Wales, This is how 1t came to be built:
 About sixty years ago the copper smoke from these works was the plague of the neighboring countryside It settled upon and destroyed the grass for twenty miles round, while the sulphur and arsenic in the fumes affected the hoOfs of cattle causing gangrene. The owners Of the works tried all sorts of devices to remedy the trouble, but in vain. Finally Robert Brenton, who was afterward a sue cessful railway engineer in India, solv- ed the problem.
 The copper works are at the foot Of steep hill Mfr. Brenton constructed fue or chimney, running contInu- ousIy from the base to about a hun dred feet above the summit following the natural slope of the ground. The brick which lined it and of which 1t was largely constructed was burned close by. A small spring gushing out near the summit of the hill was turned into the chimney and allowed to flow through almost It's entire length to condense the smoke, Once a year 1t Is swept out and about a ton of precipi- tQted copper obtained. Its top can be soon for hntwnnn forty hnd Rftv miles

At the Theaters
MAJESTIC THEATEE

Last nigh; 's performance at the Ma .iestic opened with a motion picture that was distinctly military, in har- mony with the O'Drien-West comedy. The picture was entitled "Boots and Saddles" and depicted scenes in h. dian warfare--the capture of a brave lieutenant, the preparation to burn him and two comrades at the stake, then his rescue and return to his sweetheart.
 The Brien- West company presented Louis and Mike in the Army" which is a decided improvement on the last production. Jack Elliot was back on the boards again. having recovered from his recent illness, and the audi ence gave him hearty welcome.
 The play is full of life and action and is funny from beginning to end, with no objectionable featuer.
 There arc several love affairs which become rather entangled. Mike loses his sweetheart and aiterward both he and Louis pose as her brothers. Final ly, however. everything is satisfactor- fly arranged. Jack Blowhard decided in favor of the girl his father has chosen for him, Mike gets his sweet heart back and everybody is happy.
 Jack Elliot touched sympathetic chord when he sang. "I Want a Girl from the Yankee Doodle Town.' Lotta Darragh remains quite a favorite, Her songs are all clever and catchy and her manner pleasing. Last night she sang "In Love With the Slide From bone. (which was very good.
 "The Raw Recruits song and dance bv Miss Howell, 0 'Brien and West was extremely amusing. as was also the maneuvering of West, the recruit, in the finale, Here Comes an Amer ican.'

Deplores COuntry'S Fire
 Record

WASHINGTON, D. C., July l5.- Death and destruction by fire in 1909 will eclipse all previous records with the exception of the years in which the Baltimore and San Francisco fires oc. cured, according to the statement of experts who are here studying build ing materials. This statement is backed up by the records of fire losses which are carefully kept by these experts.
 One period to which they point is the sixteen days in April, when five big fires in different parts of the eopp- try result in the loss of $6,000,0 1000, the death of twenty persons, the injury of large ru,sber and the rendering home Jess of 5000.
 "The people of the United States have not learned the iesson of the Bal timore and San Francisco fires" says II. l.. Richie, engineer in chief of the structural material laboratories of the U. s. geological survey. 'Fort Worth 's recent experience, when more than 300 homes were destroyed by the flames, is but repetition of what has happened in the past and what will occur in the future until Ameri,an municipalities wake to the situation and enact legis- lation which will absolutely prevent the further construction of buildings that are not ireproof.
 "In 1907 fires in the United Sattes cost more than $l,250,000 for every day in the year, and annual tax of more than $5 for every person in the country. No other nation loses so much in fires, pays so much insurance or so much for fire departments as the United States. It is not an enviable record. v

AN INTERNAL MACHINE.
its Fearful and Deadly Work In the
 Bremerhaven Explosion.

The greatest fatality ever caused by an internal machine k known as the Byemerhaven explosion, and 1t occur red near the end of 1875, when fel- low who called himself Thomas and was said to be an American took up his residence with his family in Hrem- en. His finances were at low ebb, and to replenish them he conceived the idea of sending to America some worthless but highly insured packages of goods. By the same vessel he in- tended 10 ship an internal machine, which was 10 have exploded few days after the vessel had left port. The explosion occurred. however, just before the package was put on board, causing terrible loss of life.
 Thomas. whose real name was said to he Alexander. charged his machine with nitroglycerin, which he had pro- cured in America and purchased tho clockwork and the case containing the machine in Germany The hammer of the clockwork which was to act in six days after leaving port. WAS to strike blow of thirty pounds weight. In his confession later Thomas said that when testing the clockwork the ham mer smashed mahogany table.
 He sent the cOntrlvance to Bremen. haven to be shipped on the Mosel for New York via Southampton He him self took passage to the latter port, where he had arranged to ship his cases of rubbish for New York. The Mosel was to leave Bremerhaven on Saturday. Dec II, and on that day the internal machine was sent to the dock. which was crowded with porterS. passengers and their friends. For some reason that has never been explained tte heavy case slipped from the crane on to the wharf as it was being lifted up the ships side. and the charge was instantly exploded. Death and destruc- ton were dealt around. l2S men, wo- men and children being instantly Killed, while ffty-six others were ter ribly wounded
 Thomas was waiting on board the ship to receive his case and see 1t slowed away in the hold but right aft CT the explosion he went to his cabin, locked the door and shot himself in the head with q revolver.
 He fingered fer several days fin the hospital and made full confession be- fore he died Exchange.

coming on behind. Mrs. Taylor and
her daughter had just turned in off the
street to enter their home when the
thief leaped forward, snatched the
handbag from her wrist. and ran
through a nearby lane. Overcome by
surprise Mrs. Taylor did not give any
immediate alarm and the fellow was
able to escape. Sunday the handbag
was found a short distance from the
site Of the robbery and i'm 1t the little
purse which it contained when stolen.
Later in the day two one-doliar bills
were also picked up, evidently dropped
by the thief in his anxiety to escape.
Some keys that were IN the bag are
