Rheumatic
Pains

my mother is a great suf-
ferer from rheumatism, and DR..
Miles Anti-Pain Pills is the only
remedy that relieves her"
MRS. G.. DAVENPORT,
Roycefeld, N. J.
The pains of rheumatism are
almost invariably relieved with
DR.. Miles Anti-Pain Pills. They
also overcome that nervous irri-
tation which prevents sleep be-
cause they soothe the nerves. To
chronic suffers they are invalu-
able. When taken as directed,
they relieve the distress and
save the weakening influence of
pain, which so frequently pros
trates. Many sufferers use them
whenever occasion requires with
the greatest satisfaction, why
not you? They do not derange
the stomach nor create a habit.
Why not try them? Get a pack
age from your druggist. Take it
according to directions, and if
it does not benefit he will return
your money.

ATTY. GENERAL
HANDS OUT LAW
Surety Companies May Now
Give Bonds in States AL
most Regardless Of
Licenses.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 22.-The
treasury department has promul-
gated an opinion of the attorney
general relative to the requirement
of state licenses of surety COM
panies as a prerequisite to doing
business with the United States.
Under the existing regulations Of
the department, bond cannot be
accepted by any officer in the treas
ury department if executed by a
company or its agent in a state
where the company has not OBJ
tanned a state license.
Under the opinion just promul-
gated the department rules that an
officer may accept bond if exc
cuted by a surety company at its
home office or at an office outside
the boundaries of the state wherein
ii has no license, for principal re-
siding in such state or for a con-
tract to be performed therein.

Germany Believes He Will
Again be President Of
the United States.

BERLIN, Jan. 22.-When Theo-
dore Roosevelt arrives in Berlin
next June he will find the kaiser
has outdone himself in his prepare
tons for welcome. Germany means
to make Roosevelt its own. All ar
rangements are under Wilhelm's
personal supervision and already he
is planning the state balls, dinners
and operate performances at which
his visitor is to be entertained. And
when the American eX-president
lectures before the Berlin Geo
graphical society he will find the
kaiSsr himself in the chair. Royal
princes will move votes of thanks
to him and the proudest of the Teu-
tonic nobility will be first to offer
its congratulations
Germany thinks, in short, that
Roosevelt Is quite likely to be pres
ident of the United States again,
and If this should happen, it is
anxious to have him the guardian
OF German as well as of American
Interests in the new world
So the kaiser is leaving no stone
unturned to impress his guest and
and to make the latter believe Ger
many Is Americas greatest and
best friend. Incidentally, there is
the natural inclination on Will
helms part to Guido his uncle, King
Edward, who will try to make him
self as agreeable as possible to

PANAMA ENGINEERS
!. HAVING TROUBLE
2 r. WITH THE MUD

Down on the isthmus of Panama
the American engineers have dis
covered that 1t is going to be some
thing of task to keep the canal
dug after they have dug it.
During the past rainy season
there have been two unusually
heavy freshets. One came in No
vember and another In December,
the day after Christmas. The en-
gineers are now struggling to make
up the delay due to the second
flood. How extensive the setback
is not yet entirely known.
1t has been discovered, however,
that the first flood-which carried
away the Photograph shed where
the rise of water is measured, has,
with the assistance of the rough
seas, piled up $4,000 yards of mud
in the Atlantic entrance of the
canal. This is quantity not to be
joked about, even with an equip
ment of seagoing dredges at hand
to suck it out.
Even in ordinary weather the
mud piles up in the Atlantic en-
trance at the rate of 100000 cubic
yards a month. 1t is estimated,
therefore, that $4,000 yards
washed into the canal through the
Mind river during the month of
November. How much more was
piled up in December is not yet
known.

has long been known, too, to cher
ish liberal political sympathies-a
very black mark against him.
Moreover he Is known to have low
tastes-to prefer companions who
have money or wit to recommend
them rather than blue blood.
Despite these drawbacks the ul-
tro-exclusives made him, purely out
of consideration for his rank, one of
themselves. Now the king has re-
paid this kindness by turning
against them. Well, he is out of
the ultra-exclusive set" and, win
liberals or win conservatives, win
people or win house of lords, he
will never get in again.
Among the titled members of the
group the best known are the Duke
and Duchess of Norfolk, the Duke
and Duchess of Bucclough, the Mar
quis and Warehouses of Ormonde,
the Marquis and Marchioness of
Butte and the Earl and Lady Crewe.

HARM THE STRAINS
OF COPS WHISTLES
When You Hear It, Ia.
About Time to Make
Yourself Scarce.

When you hear the shrill strains
of the police whistle hereafter, You
can just about figure that it's time
to make yourself scarce, unless
your conduct and general demeanor
for the last hour or two has been
exemplary. The old time practice
of using the police whistles among
the patrolmen at night and the
patrol sergeants in time Of trouble,
or when a man on the beat is want
ed for immediate work has been
revived in the police department.
1t is only in the last few years
that the practice has died down,
and in this time the sound of a
whistle, warning of things doing
around the town, has become some
what forgotten. Two patrol SER
geants, commonly known as rounds
men, are now kept at work within
the fire limits of Spokane at all
times during the night, and it is de-
clared that much more work is be-
ing accomplished as result. Each
man who hikes beat is now being
supplied with whistle for imme-
diate use at any time when the
physical or counselar assistance of
man from a neighboring beat is
needed.
The night patrol sergeants have
most anything but soft snap in
their vocation. Much of the work
that was formerly done by the
night plain clothes squad now falls
to these roundsmen, and many in
vestigations of calls are now being
made, which, under the old system,
would scarcely receive the atten-
ton of an officer.

LONDON, Jan. 22.-Though much

pie weeping every time dead leaf
rustled. And they did more. 1t
was alleged upon the floor of both
houses of congress that the bureau
had not confined itself to writing
sonnets on the fallen tree nor yet
to patting G. Pinchot upon the back.
Doubtless had they done this, they
would still flourish, but they used
their pens, it was alleged, to pre-
vent the reelection of several con-
gresSmen not quite in accord with
the sentiments of the forest SER
vice.
NO APPROPRIATION NOW.
So in the appropriation bill which
1trys r,r hn 1oC
session there appeared a warning
that none of the funds appropriated
for the forest service should be
used in the preparation of any ar
ticle for any paper or magazine.
In the meantime, several other
departments set up press agencies.
The postoffice department, the re-
clamation service, the bureau of
soils of the department of agricul-
ture, the census bureau, together
with unofficial bureaus in most of
the others, organized their own
news agencies. In the olden days
the press representatives of Wash
ington were wont unhindered to
trapse around from office to office
in search of news. Under the pres
ent system of press bureaus the
news is dished out to them, we'll
sauced with official attitude. Also,
as the press agents hope some day
to get raise, they throw in a few
remarks on the great and glorious
doing of their~"bosses."
4 1T WAS A SNAP AT FIRST.
The newspaper men didn't mind
it at first. 1t was sort of nice, dur.
ing the hot summer days, not to
have to run around and get tired
out hunting news items in the de-
partments, when there was a press
agent to prepare nice little pieces
for the paper" which could be Sc
cured by the office boy.
2 However, the newspaper men
. complained that everything was
bottled up" There was no chance
for the ambitious correspondent
here to pull off scoop TO remind
his editors at home that he was
deserving young man and needed
raise in salary.
Now it is whispered about that
Representative Tawney of the
house committee on appropriations
will insert a specific prohibition
against press agents in every APP
preparation bill which he reports
for passage.

little fawns in the Maine forests
are eaten by them. We have had
splendid hunting up around our way
all the past season, but there
haven't been any bears shot. They

is a good license, so that men will
have an inducement to protect the
growing deer by killing their great

LONDON, Jan. 22.-King Edward
is in deep disgrace. He has been
communicated, so to speak, by
the most ultra-eXclusive set" in all
England, if not in all the world.
Politics caused it all. The ultra
exclusives do not think his majesty
has done what he ought to have
done to hold down the tide of re-
publicanism which is rising
throughout his realm. They have
heard that he stands prepared to
create enough liberal peers, If the
"revolutionists" win the pending
British election, to give the latter
control of the house of lords as
well as of the commons and cabi-
net, thus turning the government
over, body and soul, to the forces
of anarchy and disorder"
That the king is required, by i'm
memorial custom, to create such
peers as the premier suggests and
that a refusal to do so now would
probably cost him his crown, is
nothing to the ultra-exclusives. Bet
ter the loss of the crown, better
death itself, better the actual physi-
cal determination of their own or
der, the ultra-exclusives say, than
tame acquiescence in the masses"
demands.
VERY BITTER AGAINST KING.
The feeling against Edward is all
the bitterer because to the injury of
his desertion he adds the offense
of ingratitude. Edward was never
regarded as by right member of
the ultra-exclusive set" To be a

George Bernard Shaw Also Thinks
Souls Will Have Numbers.
George Bernard Shaw furnished a
little sketch of the coming millennium
in recent London lecture. He said
that every man would have number
and name, every man would carry
about his passport and his photograph
on that passport, and every man would
be liable to be called upon by a rep
resentative Of the state to stand and
deliver and show who he was and
what he was doing or what he was
not doing and why he was doing It.
He also observed that the world
might have any amount OF inequality
Of intellect, but he would let every
body have the same income as nearly
as possible. Every body should have
. life income Of $500 a year. The
s consequence would be, Mr.. Shaw adj
mitted. that every one would have to
earn his living.
