THOUSANDS MARCH
FOR PREP PAREDN[SS
Chicago Has 1924 People in Line
In Behalf Of Defense.
PORTLAND HAS BIG SHOWING
Other Cities Also Indulge in Monster
Celebrations to Give Emphasis
to National Welfare Call.

Chicago-The greatest parade ever
held in Chicago ended Saturday night
after 1870, persons, one-sixth of
whom were women, had filed through
the streets in the preparedness demon
stration. The parade was III hours
in passing. More than 1000, 900 per-
sons are estimated to have witnessed
it. The night division was made up
largely of militia organizations, which
included all branches of the army and
navy service.
The parade began at 9 o'clock in the
morning and did not conclude until
nearly midnight.
Ali day long and far into the night
the marchers, massed from curb to
curb, rolled like a tide through the
streets. 1t was as if the great sky
scrapers were the banks of river and
the marching thousands, each person
with an American flag, the water NOV
ing between them.
Major General T. H. Barry, COM
mander of the Central department, U.
S. A., who sat in the reviewing stand,
declared it to be the greatest and most
inspiring spectacle he had ever wit
messed.
The demonstration impressed by its
bulk, and by the absence, to a large
extent, of the hilarity accompanying
most parades. There were no floats,
no comic costumes and little of the
holiday spirit apparent. The airs
played by the bands either were pat
riotic or military.

URIC ACID--GOING-- -GOING--G GONE
"Anuricn VIII Not Fail to Stop Your Backache

People are realizing more and more
every day that the kidneys. just as do
the bowels, need to be flushed occa-
sionally. The kidneys are an elimina-
tive organ and are constantly working,
separating the poisons from the blood.
Under this continual and perpetual
action they are apt to congest, and
then trouble starts. Uric acid backs
up into the system. causing rheuma-
tism, neuralgia, dropsy and many other
serious disturbances. Doctor Pierce
Of Buffalo, New York, advocates that
every one should drink plenty of pure
water between meals. Every day
should exercise in the outdoor air suf-
ficiently to sweat profusely, and from
time to time stimulate the kidney ac-
tion by means of "Anuric." This prep
aration has been thoroughly tried out
at his Sanitarium, in the same way as
his "Favorite Prescription" for weak
women and Golden Medical Discov-

Copper Mine Reopened.

Baker, Or.-Once abandoned as an
Improbable venture, the old Paymas-
ter mine, a copper property in the
Eagle Mountains, is being reopened,
since the traces of the rare ore, molyb-
damite, with market value of $4,000
a ton, have been found. w. A. Gill
liam, Isaac and Griswold Miller and
Bradley Bros, owners of the property,
also believe that considerable income
may be netted from the main copper
ore bodies. Assays just made Of some
of the ore samples give 64.3 per cent
values, meaning, at the present quota
tions, from $500 to S400 ton.

pouch. The robbery was not discov-
cred until the clerk on the train opened

Moisture Lowers Price.

Chicago Breaking of the drouth in
Kansas and Oklahoma resulted in lower
prices for wheat. Fresh rainfalls that
gave moisture where much needed in
the Southwest left the wheat bulls
without any immediate argument to
uphold beliefs in higher values. As a
consequence, commission houses were
literally supplied with orders to sell
out holdings and it was apparent that
speculative bears had no intention to
delay putting out good-sized lines be-
fore prices show too much decline.

The Origin Of Pork.

The Origin of Pork.
Mary had little pig,
Its tail inclined to snarl;
1t followed her to Washington,
And now it's in the bar'l.
Mary raised this little pig
Till he became shoat;
Then presented him to Congress
To capitulate the vote.
And now he rules the army,
The navy and the lakes;
Too bad he can't be captured,
From the legislative fakes.
What makes the pig so popular?
The eager people cry; -
Because there's pork inside him,
And Congress doth defy.
The pen is mightier than the sword
We often have been told.
But pens for Congress porkers
Are always built with gold.
Should Mary raise another pig,
We beg here to advise
shat pigs are not for Congress,
But should be kept in sites.

miles off Hanstholm, it was stopped By
two British torpedo-boats to have its

and the British warships Immediately
prepared for action. The German fleet
consisted of five large modern dread
naughts. eight cruisers and 20 torpedo
boats and destroyers. Suddenly they
began firing, and hundreds of shells
splashed around the torpedo boats,
without, however, hitting them.
