DO TT NOW
eanaan People Should Not Wait URtII
 1t Is Too Late.

The appalling death rate from kidney disease is due in most cases to the fact that the little kidney troubles are usually neglected until they become serious. The slight symptoms give plac5 to chronic disorders and the sufferer goes gradually into the grasp of dropsy, Bright's disease, gravel or some other serious form of kidney complaint.
 If you suffer from backache, headache, dizzy spells; if the kidney secretions are irregular of passage and unnatural in appearance, do not delay. Help the kidneys at once.
 Doan's Kidney Pills are especially for kidney ydisorders-they cure where others fail. Over one hundred thousand people have recommended them. Here's a case at home.
 Samuel Keel, Foote Ave, Canaan, Conn, says: My experience with Doan S Kidney Pill has been so satisfactory that 1 do not hesitate to recommend them. My back ached intensely and my kid neys were weak, causing me annoyance. I finally used Deans Kidney Pills, pro- cured from Thurlough's Drug Store and they restored me to good health"

IDLE IN SOUTH
GENTLEMAN IN DIXIE LAND
TELLS OF TRUE CONDITIONS
EXISTING IN INDUSTRIAL LINES
IN SUNNY CLINE.

William e. Vanklrk, who for the
past score of years has resided. in
Birmingham, Ala, has been in Fair
mont all the week and left this morn
ing for Wheeling on business, said to
the West Virginian last evening that
1t was not. generally known, but never;
theless 1t is,a fact that conditions are e
pretty. bad in the South, that oply
about half the industries in Dixie land and
are or have been in operation for the
past twelve months. tiaa lad:
Birmingham is dead and has been
for the past IS months" said Mr.. Van
kirk. This city is called "the Pitts
burg Of the South" on account OF the
many iron and steel mills in that "
clnity and which are owned by the
trust. There are thousands of men
employed in them when they are IN n
operation, but they have been die
with the exception Of a,.few of The
.millssrunning of and on for a, short
while each month, for nearly Is
'monthsz and am safe in saying that
there have been for the past year
twenty thousand idle men walking the
streets. The. majority are married
and have family to look after. OF
course, a large number OF these Idle
men are foreigners, but there are a
great many of them Americans, and
they have no money with which to
deHray their travelling expenses to go
10 other parts of the country where
they might secure employment.
at seems that no one knows why
the trust does not operate their indus
tries and the officials Of the company
will give out no information as to
when there is any prospect of their
resuming operation. These big indus
tries are lying idle and practically
rustlng away while men are in dlre

need OF food and clothing-willing to
work II they had an opportunity. The
conditions throughout Alabama are In
a measure distressing, as well as over
the greater part of the South, and
such conditions have existed for more
than a year-in fact, for the past sew
eral years there have been only a
limited number of industries to run
on full time south OF the Mason and
Dixon line. | have travelled through
the South quite extensively during the
past twenty-four months and things in
the commercial line are dead, and
there is little prospect Of the sun Of
prosperity shining on the idle places
in the near future, i'll have been
rightly informed. There are large
number of people who have resided all
their lives in the North come to the
South each year thinking that thai
section of the country Is more pros
porous and that employment win moi
be hard to secure. THESE people dur
ing the past twelve months have upon
their arrival found conditloAssjust the
reverse from what they Thought. &
"Of course concluded the speaker
@there are a few sections Of the South
that are enjoying pr6sperltyiIif the in
dustrial line but thete are not many
and yenttite to ASSERT that there are
more idle men to BE FOUND In the
South than III any part Of the United
States and 1t'appears thatltMngs will
be dull in that section for some time
to come. The reason no one seems
to know, for 1t seems to besa compli
cation Of business that has been
brought about gradually and which
viii take quite a while to straighter
out. 4" - f.3
"You know that the newspapers
throughout the country are not prone
to publish 'anti.prosperIty' stories re
CARELESS OF their politics, and conse
quently one part of the country does
not really know the true condition o.
the other, so to speak"
Mr.. Vanklrk arrived in Wheeling
last week with is family and came
over here this week for the purpose o.
establishing a branch Wholesale pat
ent medicine house, selling only tt
dealers. The principal house will be
established In Wheeling, and branch
establishments will be opened in sew
eral parts OF West Virginia just a.
quickly as arrangements can be made
Mr.. Nanklrk will have charge OF tht
Fairmont house and by winter he viii
be ready for business, Only paten
medicines at Wholesale and only t
retail dealers will be sold, the house
In this city supplying the local trade
and all drug stores in this part OF th'
state.

Uncle Sam Heads In Wrong.

Contrary to usual custom, Uncle
sam. who generally insists on full
knowledge Of values before making 9
purchase, bought the French Panama
Canal property, and then ascertalneo
its value afterward. The appraisal has
inst been completed by a special
hoard. and their report has the ap'
proyal Of Col. George w. Goethals, en-
gineer in charge Of the canal con
struction. .,o
The French company was paid S4O'
100000 for its property and work done
ON the Isthmus. This figure was based
upon estimates of the Isthmian Cana
Commission, and the latest report
shows that the United States got a bar
gain. The total valuation OF the pur
chase is now declared to have been
