WHO GOT THE BEST OF IT?

Mayor II. Lewis Wallace is an ar
dent advocate of the election OF
Hon. w. A. Jones to fill Senator
Martins place in the u. s. Senate.
Three friends OF his, adyo-
Gates OF Senator Martin, sent him
Monday a large size photograph of
Senator Martin. Mayor Wallace
took it from the bearer and put it
away. In a short time one Of the
three wanted TO see the effect OF
the joke and called on Mayor Wal
lace
After a preliminary talk the pic
ture was mentioned and Mayor Wal
lace, expressing great surprise, said,
whose picture was it? The reply
1T was Senator Martins" What"
said the Mayor, Il thought it was a
fugitive from justice and gave 1t
to Chief Robinson with orders to put
it on file for future developments. "
The gentleman consulted with his
two friends and sought lawyer
and asked If they had a case for
damages o yes, you have case.
said the lawyer, but how good |
cannot say. SO the three hied to
the police court and examined the
files for the picture, but IT was not
not there
In a few minutes they came out,
one by one, looking to the right and
left as II fearful OF someone seeing
them
Some time after in order to ease
the minds OF the practical jokers
the Mayor took the picture from his
pocket and handed it to one of the
three.

DANCER IN DELAY
Kidney Diseases are Too Danger
our for Fredericksburg People
to Neglect.

The great danger of kidney troubles
is that they get firm hold before the
sufferer recognizes them. Health is
gradually undermined. Backache, head
ache, nervousness, lameness, soreness,
lumbago, urinary troubles, dropsy,
gravel and Bright's disease, follow as
the kidneys get worse. Don't neglect
your kidneys. Help the kidneys with
the reliable and safe remedy, Doan's
Kidney Pills. which has cured people
right here in Fredericksburg.

WILL RETAIN COURT

The Corporation court Of Winchester
will not be abolished, as has been re-
ported in some quarters, by reason Of
the death last week of Judge W. M.
Atkinson, who had been judge Of that
court for years. Judge Harrison, of
Winchester, who presides over the Cir
cult court Of Frederick, Shenandoah,
Clark and Warren counties, will act as
corporation Judge until the Legislature
meets, and at that time judge will be
elected for the Corporation court. Ef-
forts were made to create a sentiment
in favor of abolishing the court, but the
vast majority of the people of Win
chester are opposed to such move
ment, and il has been practically
abandoned.

A TRIP TO IRvINsf0N

The editor OF the Democrat made
a hurried trip to Irvington on bust
ness last Friday, returning on Satur-
days steamer The trip was very
pleasant one Irvington is prettily
situated on Carriers Creek, in Lam
caster county, overlooking the broad
oxpanse of the Rappahannock$rad-
ually widening near its mouth. and
dotted here and there with sail and
steam craft of every description
The people are prosperous. happy
and -hospitable, for Irvington Is
healthful place. the lands are we'll
cultivated and productive. while fish
oysters, crabs. and other deiicacies
of this kind are as the sands up
ON the seashore innumerable.
Capt. "Will" Messick is the Wa
ter King; ne owns almost every
thing in the shape of a barque-
from the smallest craft to the larg-
est fish steamer But there are
others not far behind him in this
respect. They do say that Mine

ven of rest We locked up
Brother Med. Lee, of the Virginia
Citizen. And right here il may be
said that if anyone of the fraternity
wishes TO get ahead of him he Will
have TO get up and hustle. Brother
Lee piIoted us over his office and
made us feel at home by introduc-
ing US to his large corps of assistants
from which we formed a neat idea
of the amount of work being carried
on there by him. AS Commissioner
of Fisheries, as secretary OF the
Northern Neck Mutual Fire Associa-
ton. as editor of a newspaper. as
notary public. and what not, he Is
a very busy man. Superintend-
ed by a Norfolk architect, aided by
about 80 men, Mr.. Lee has succeed
ed in lacking up the Opera House,
a two-story building 35x7O feet, and
removed II from near the Academy
grounds 10 the other end OF the
town, and across the street from
the Citizen office, a distance little
short of d mile The lower floor is
used by Mr.. Lee for his presses.
This work has taken more than a
month and is far from completed
in LAYING the foundation for the new
site, in getting the building IN
place and so on. In addition 10
this a large force of men and teams
are occupied in grading the rugged
bank into a natural slope down TO
the waters edge, and removing the
debris. which will add wonderfully
10 the picturesqueness and general
attractiveness of the town. Mr.. Lee
