OF Benefit TO ALL

Kasparil1a is the name of new remedy
most successfully prescribed for a world
of troubles For arrangements of the
digestive organs it is natural corrective,
operating directly upon the liver and ali
mentary canal, gently but persistently
stimulating healthy activity. Its bene-
fetal influence extends, however, to every
portion of the system, aiding in the
processes of digestion and assimilation of
food, promoting wholesome, natural
appetite, correcting sour stomach, bad
breath, irregularities of the bowels, con-
stipation and the long list of troubles
directly traceable to those unwholesome
conditions. Kasparilla dispels drowsi-
ness, headache, backache and despond-
ency due to inactivity of the liver,
kidneys and digestive tract. 1t is a
strengthening tonic of the highest value.
If it fails to satisfy we authorize all
dealers to refund the purchase price.

for the lesson there is in it. In 1887

published in Des Moines, Iowa, and

on Chas. S. Fee, General Passenger

Company, at the headquarters build

little trouble that I secured this favor.
l was to send Mr.. Fee marked copies
of the papers for which I wrote. On
my return, after a trip Of two months,
I was very cordially received by Mr..
Fee. He stated to me that he and the
directors of the Northern Pacific Rail-
way were much pleased with my ar
ticles and were having some of them
republished in the Railway Age Of
Philadelphia. Then Mr.. Fee explained
the grounds of their approval of the
articles. He said that most men to

and for this reason so overdraw the

he said I had not done this and hence
the value to them of my articles, and
hence their republication. Mr.. Fee
concluded his remarks by saying to me
that when I needed any further favors

was not an empty compliment, for

COMPOSED OF MANY ISLANDS.
Monroe County In Florida Is Probably
the Most Unique In the
Whole Country.

Monroe county is the most unique
county in the state, If not in the
United States. The larger portion of
the county is made up of group of
islands or, as they are called, keys,
both on the east and west coasts. The
only part OF Monroe county on the
mainland is the Cape Sable country.

States on the mainland.
The larger portion of this land Is
what is known as the Everglades, and
but limited number of acres are now
under cultivation. What effect the
proposed drainage of the Everglades,
will have in Monroe county is not
known, but it is doubtful II any large
areas will be drained because OF the
flatness of the country and being SO
near sea level In the vicinity of Cape
Sable there are large bodies Of rich
alluvial land and considerable quan.

All kinds of tropical and semi-tropi
cal fruit trees grow luxuriantly on the
keys and bear full crops of fruit each
year. Every key is surrounded with
water and the great portion of them

sites are in full view of either the

First Time In History When There
Was Danger Of Machines Com
Ing Together Happens
in France.
AMERICAN SAVES DAY
curtiss Averts What Would Possibly
Have Been Fatal Accident
by His Successful
Plotting.

RHEIMS, Aug. 20-The American
aviator, Glenn H. Curtiss, at sundown
added dramatic feature to the trial
flights of the aeroplanes entered for
the contests of aviation week by skill
fully guiding his machine above an.
other aeroplane and averting a collis-
lon in The air.
The feat was accomplished when,
for the first time in history, three
heavier than air craft were maneuver-
ing at the same time, All were flying
rapidly when suddenly Curtiss saw M,
Dumanset In an Anternette mono
plane, approaching at right angles ana
on the same level with him. Quick as
flash Curtiss realized the danger,
and elevating his planes instantly shot
his machine upward and coared safely
over the Frenchnan.
The thousands of spectators who
lined the aerodrome watched the
maneuver with bated breath, but
when they saw 1t successfully and
brilliantly carried out they wildly ap
plauded the American. The third ma
chine in the air at this time was thai
of M. Tissandier.
The wind, which had been mastel
OF the aeroplanes for two days. sud
denly died down at sundown andsth
i aviators rushed to the sheds and drae
ged out their machines. Thousand
of eager spectators crowded abou
them, but mounted gendarmes an,
dragons soon cleared the aerodrom
SO that the trials could proceed. Coun
de Lambert, on Wright model, wa
the first of the aviators to start, an
made complete circuit of the aero
drome NJ Tissander, also on
Wright biplane, followed him.
Then the Curtis machine, lookin
smaller and more compact than tn
others, was placed in position for
fight. Curtiss still was limping an

One joint, which had been closed
for months, sold 200 cases of beer in
six hours. A dozen others made the
night merry by selling real beer in
stead Of per cent. Several gambling
houses opened.
But one restriction Is placed on
the joints and that is that they must
operate on the second floors of build

people who favor law enforcement
will not make complaint to Attorney
General Jackson.
| The chief of police says he can
not stop the joints because the law
allows them to sell near-beer, that is
beer containing less than 2 per cent
of alcohol and that 1t is impossible
to tell the near-beer from the rea
