Have annoying urinary disorders;
Do you know what to do?

It's from Durango citizen.
Testimony that can be investigat-
ed.
Mrs. Harry Schunk, Lightner Creek,
Durango, Colo, says: "One Of the

about this remedy and have no hesi-

NEBUCHADNEZZAR AS A
BUILDER.
(By Edgar j. Banks.)

10y Es0RdT y. DaHkS.
Probably the greatest builder the
world ever had was acknowledgements,
king of Babylon from 604 to SCI B.
C. There is hardly ruin in Baby
lonia which does not show traces of
his work. Nearly everywhere in Meso-
potamia, and even in Persia, are found
bricks bearing his name. He delight
ed in restoring the old temples. He
surrounded defenseless cities with
walls and moats. He confined the
rivers to their courses with huge brick
embankments. Shortly before his time
Babylon was completely destroyed,
and its foundations were scraped into
the river, but he rebuilt and enlarged
the city. The temples with which he
adorned it amazed even the travellers
from distant Greece. The walls sur
rounding it were one of the seven won
ders of the ancient world. Fortunate
ly it was Nebuchadnezzar's custom,
whenever he built or restored tenn
pie, to write a long description of
his building operations upon a cylin-
der of clay, and to bury the record
in the walls that future generations
might read of his work. His wish
has been fulfilled, for during the past
two years several of the cylinders
have been discovered by Arabs, and
have found their way to Europe and
America.

LARGE ATTENDANCE AT
SUNDAY SCHOOL RALLIES

Rev. Daily. Joseph Green, W. M.
Marsh and two sons, George N. Ray
mond and Thomas Mason were the
members of the Durango party who
attended the Sunday school rallies at
Bayfield, and Ignacio yesterday. The
trip was made in the Raymond and
Mason machines. The exercises at
bayfield, commenced at 10 o'clock and
lasted for two hours. A large congre-
cation was in attendance Following
the program, the visitors were royal
ly entertained at an elaborate coun-
try dinner. At o'clock the party
was on its way to Allison, where ser
vices commenced at 2:30. One hum
dred and fifty people cordially greet
ed the visitors. The little church was
crowded beyond capacity with work
ers. Both in point of attendance and
enthusiasm this is conceded to be the
banner meeting Of the series. The
Allison people by word and deed mani
Tested their appreciation Of the ef-
forts put forth by the Durango peo-
pie. They had perfected arrange
ments to entertain them over night
but the different members Of the
crowd found 1t impossible to stay and
at 5 o'clock they started on their
homeward journey. Regardless of the
fact that heavy shower had fallen
for about eight miles Of the distance,
they reached Durango in two hours
and forty minutes.

EFFICIENCY AT VERA CRUZ.

There is something tremendously
gratifying to the American pride in
the way the army and macy have
taken possession of Vera Cruz, re-
stored order, established a stable gov
ernment and started the life of the
community moving again in its nor
NAL channels. Barely two weeks ago
such thing as an American occupa-
tion of Vera Cruz was wholly unex-
pected. But suddenly the order went
forth; the warships arrived in the
harbor. marines and bluejackets land
ed with perfect precision and after a
short fight took the customs house
and other points of vantage.
The opposition was silenced, the city
passed into the possession of the
Americans and an invitation was Civ
en- the Mexican authorities to CO.
operate in the restoration Of order.
They refused, and without delay the
American officers reorganized the
government Of the city in every de-
tail Even the delivery of mail went
on with scarcely a hitch, the work
being performed by the marines. Now
civil governor has been appointed
and it is announced that the govern
ment of Vera Cruz will proceed much
as it was before, Mexican officials
being retained wherever possible, and
the only changes made being those
necessitated by the new conditions.
This is another demonstration ,on q
small scale, Of the reparkable eff
cheney of the American army and
navy in administrative affairs. If
the war in Mexico is pursued and
other cities fall into the hands of the
army there will be repetition Of the
splendid work already done in Cuba,
Porto Rico and the Philippines and
in Panama. Whichever the army has
gone. in foreign parts. it advent has
marked the beginning of new era.
Better sanitation, better roads, bet
ter schools, better living conditions
for the people--in short, better gov
ernment-these things have been the
invariable accomplishments of the
American military rule in Spanish
speaking countries. There is never a
suspicion of graft or dishonesty, and
if delays or difficulties occur they
are usually due to the interference Of
the politicians at home.
In times of peace we hear good
deal about the defective organization
of the army, Of the high percentage
of desertions, and other disconcert-
ing things. But these are the fruits
of idleness. Give the army something
to do; put 1t on big job, like clean
ing up Cuba or the Philippines or the
building Of the Panama canal, and it
is more than equal TO the task. The
business like fashion in which both
army and navy have handled the small
jobs assigned them at Vera Cruz is
typical.-Colorado Springs Gazette.

UNREGULATED PRIVATE BANKS

From the Nebraska State Journal.
The Siegel failure in New York dis
closes that that state has as yet un-
dertaken no supervision of private
banking. Anybody who wants to may
start a private bank. it appears, take
deposits and use the money in any
way not prohibited by the criminal
code. AS result of the failure OF
Siegels private savings bank bill
has been pressed in. the Legislature to
undertake state supervision of private
banking. The bill was quickly side
tracked in the senate, SO strong wa
the influence of a lobby of private
bankers. Such state of affairs in
such state is surprising. New York
is not the state to set an example of
wildcat banking.
