MALE TIGER KITTEN DIES,
SISTER HAS PNEUMONIA
Painstaking Efforts of Keeper Bean
To Raise First Captive Cubs
Probably Futile.


To Raise First Captive Cubs
Probably Futile.
''Rajah, . one of the two remaining
kittens of three born at Washing
ton park zoo, on June 6, died yester.
day.
The task of raising tiger kittens
has never been accomplished in this
country and the painstaking efforts
of Supt. Bean are likely to prove
futile.
The kittens were enjoying the,
best of health UP to two weeks ago,
One morning the fragments of one
ofthe little tigers was found by the
keeper. The mother had eaten it.
Since that time the two remaining
kittens have been kept apart from
the mother.
A post mortem on "Rajah" show
ed the little animal perfect in every
respect He bore no marks of VOL
ence or disease. Some mysterious
ailment killed the kitten, just as has
happened to every other one born in
the United States.
'Elinor, the remaining kitten, is
lowering between life and death with
pneumonia.

It's time to use Doan's Kidney Pill
Doan's have done great work in

Mrs. Samuel Parker, SGT 18th ST.,
Grand Rapids, Wis, says: "One of
my family suffered from a very lame
back and soreness and pain through
his loins. His kidneys were weak
and he couldn't control his kidney
secretions. He was restless at night
on account of the aches and pains
through his kidneys. When he saw
Doan's Kidney Pills advertised, he
got a box and they did him a world
of good. He was relieved of the
lameness and soreness in his back
and the kidney secretons cleared up.

/. N. G. Maneuver Camp.

Iowa City, April 7.-Plans for the
maneuver camp to be held in Iowa in
August this year were made at a
meeting of the advisory board of the
Iowa National Guard here. Although
the war department suggested tmat
the maneuvers be held at Camp Dodge
near Des Moines, three other cities of
the state will try to get the camp.
Col. r. p. Howell wants the camp to
be held near Iowa City. He pledged
himself to get the land and other
things needed. Gen. H. A. Allen put
in an invitation on behalf of Cedar
Rapids, and Col. n. r. Hyatt suggest
ed Marshalltown as more nearly the
center of the Iowa guard territory.
The selection of the camp ground was
left open According to the plans, aE
of the four Iowa regiments are to go
to the maneuVer camp, together with
two Nebraska regiments and one

audience with the clerk. Needless TO
say, his request was granted. There
was no difficulty in what he wanted
he wanted a marriage license, and he
wanted it bad, but he wouldn't take it
unless Clerk Milli2an would promise
him one thing. And there was the
stumbling block that upset all the
fond hopes OF the young fellow. The
promise that he asked was an extra
ordinary one and one that Mr.. Milf.
gan could hardly comply with. The
groom-to-be wanted Mr.. Milligan to
promise him that his license would
be kept absolutely secreat and that
it would not get into the papers-for
a day or two, on no-just for that
short space of year. After that
time so the young man said, the

under consideration movement that
may be of the greatest importance TO
the Swedish church membership in
Iowa, the establishment of a Swedish
campmeeting to be held at time and
place convenient during the summer
season, with the object in view Of
serving the most people.
Other states have Campmeetings
and great good is traceable thereto
Iowa has no such meeting, but min
listers believe that benefits may be
derived by establishment thereof.
A special committee consisting of
Rev. Olaf Granberg, Rev. Nels Pear
son, Rev. Carl Jensen and Rev. Strom-
berg are appointed to make a careful
investigation.
Des Moines is pointed out as the
most likely place Tor such meeting
as a number of Swedish congregations
are located in and about Des Moines
and as that city Is more easily reach.
ed than any other point, where the
state membership could gather. II
decision is reached to hold such meet

be chosen as its location.
