ROOSEVELT OFF TO JUNGLES
Whistles Screech and Guns Boom as
Hamburg Puts Out to Sea.

New York.-Waving parting fare
well with his black SLOUGH hat, his face
beaming in the morning sun as he stool
on the captains bridge of the steam
ship Hamburg, exPresident Theodore
Roosevelt, now Americas most distin-
guished private citizen, sailed Tuesday
for his long-planned African "safari."
He left his native shores amid the
cheers of thousands of persons who
swarmed the Hamburg American line
pier, the whistles of countless river
craft and the thunderous reverberations
of the ex-president's salute of thirteen
guns from Forts Hamilton and Wads-
worth.
Besides the figure of the former chief
magistrate, as the big steamship slipped
out of her dock, stood young lad,
seemingly detected as he wistfully gazed
at the cheering multitude on the pier
below. 1t was Kermit Roosevelt son
of Mr.. Roosevelt, who accompanied his
father as official photographer on the
expedition. Father and son, both clad
in brilliant buff-colored army coats,
which shone in the sun, remained on
the bridge on the trip down the bay, and
acknowledged with sweeps of their hats
the salutes of the vessels.

KILLABYS WIVES MEET.
Agree to Work Together to Put Him
in Prison.

Norman, Okla.-'I shall not 90 back
to my home in Hollandale, Miss, until
have seen Killaby behind prison
walls" said Mrs. Killaby No. 1, when
leaving Norman today, after confer
ence with Mrs. Killaby No. in regard
to pushing the prosecution of VIM. II.
Killaby, to whom both women claim to
have been married. "And / will help
you to put him there" sighed Mrs. Kill
laby No. 2.
A year ago the romance started be-
tween Killaby and Miss Mabel Freezing,
of Norman, when both were coming
from st. Louis. He told of his vast
mines in Mexico, and lively CORE
spondence started, which resulted in the
marriage of the two here about seven
weeks ago. The happy couple left for
Mexico, and upon their arrival there
they found Killaby's wife. His last
wife returned heart broken to her moth
er here. Now, in the last few weeks,
another wife appears on the scene. She
is Mrs. Killaby No. 1, from Hollandale,
Miss, and she will push the prosecution
of Killaby, with the assistance of Mrs.
Mabel Freezing Killaby, of this place.

Scent RATE RESTORED
EIGHTEEN ROADS CONFER WITH
STATE OFFICIALS.
Order Effective April TO- Railroads
and Legislature Have Prac-
tically Agreed.

st. Louis, Mo.-The 3-cent local ticket
rate and the 2,000-mile interchangeable
book will be put into effect April 10, ac-
cording to an official statement issued by
the eighteen railroads in Missouri Fri
day. The statement was issued after the
return of the railroad representatives
from Jefferson City, where conferences
on the passenger rate question were held
with Gov. Hadley, Attorney General Ma
jor and members of the railroads com
mittee of the legislature.
The statement also announces that ac-
tions to test the validity of the 2-cent
laws in adjoining states will be brought
at once. After stating that the most
cordial good feeling existed during the
conference at jefferson City, the state
ment reads:
As the matter now stands, as between
the railroad proposition and that of the
executive and legislative departments,
there is difference which might be clas-
sifed as detail.
In other words, the establishment of
the 3-cent basis for through and inter-
state rates will not be objected to, and
a 2,000-mle interchangeable mileage
book, upon basis of cents net, is ac-
ceptable to both sides. The state ia
vors 5oo-mle book, good upon an in
dividual railroad and for bearer at IA
cents per mile.
The railroads offer, in lieu of this, a
5oo-mile book, good over all of the rail-
roads in the state and for bearer, at
2 1-2 cents per mile, and upon an indi-
vidual railroad 5O0-mile book, good
for owners only, for 2 IA cents per mile.
All mileage books in both cases to be
good for one year.

ONLY ONE

There is only one drug store in this
city where you can get a genuine spe-
cfic for kidney disease. This is a
strong statement but we are prepared
to prove it.
Here's the point; the census deaths
show that of the tens of thousands
annually dying from kidney trouble,
| hat over nine-tenths Ito be accurate,
Ininety-two out of every one hundred
| Of them) sooner or later assumed the
| form technically known to physicians
as "Bright's Disease" although 1t Is
commonly called kidney trouble" in
| the homes. 1t is known to those in
| the drug trade that Bright's Disease
has BEEN incurahle up to recent dis
covery and as we have the monopoly
of that discovery for this city we have
the only specific for kidney disease in
thus city
In view of the census showing that
over nine-tentns of all the census kid
nev cases sooner or later take this
form, how under the sun can people
who have kidney trouble expect to get
well except through this specific?
If YOU have kidney trouble our store
is the only one in this city that has a
genuine specific effective in nearly
nine-tenths OF all cases. in fact, If
YOU will put tie question sklllfully to
our competitors and ask taem if they
have a genuine cure for Brights dis
ease they won't even claim to you
they have, for the books admit there
has been none
We sent long way for this for
kdney-troubled reoI !e

tell you all about it.
