FORTY-SECOND BIRTHDAY

The stove league is very active to-
day for today is the forty-second
birthday of one of it's idols. Today
Honus Wagner is AZ and the United
Press has sent out the following:
Your forty-second milestone! We
felicitate you, Honus; you've evaded
all the Charleyhorses, Jinxes, Hoo
docs, Jonahs, and you've batted flat
800 now for almost twenty years.
You will still be at it twenty years
from now, it now appears; but the
marvel of it all is not the average
you bat; the things you bat besides
the ball are what we wonder at; you,
with loaded oaken club have ham
mered out farm and a flock of pay
ing. breweries; and there's genuine
alarm in the councils of the Money
Kings at all the stocks you own,
while the gold that gilds your safety
vaults, would make old Midas groan
You've slugged yourself. to Million
airedom; not to mention fame May
hap you'll live with Richard of the
music writing game. He took, you
know, bunch of sickly melodies and
such and pummelled out a batch of
overtures that beat the Dutch; drove
puny base and treble clef to thunder
mighty battle and made the windows
and the doors of hell and heaven
rattle. The roaring forest tempest
from their stringy Threats he
strangled' and put a pair of pants
upon the Art with which he wran-
gled. And it may be, Sir Honus, that
the bats you've swung to fame on are
cousins of the, old oak baton that
Richard 'graved his name on. There
fore, today our homage, Honus, both
to you and dick, for what he did with
notes and bars and you do with a
stick.

THE TALE OF TWO CITIES

What St. Paul has, Minneapolis
wants and what Minneapolis has, St.
Paul wants. This is plainly evident
Although only twelve miles apart
St. Paul and Minneapolis now have
separate, weather bureaus. The orig
inal single station which Uncle Sam
said could efficiently handle the
weather conditions in both cities was
in st.. Paul. People in Minneapolis
constantly taunted the St. Paul sta
ton with sending weather reports
destructive to their bazaars, fetes and
civic turnouts. Minneapolis people
just wouldn't accept the weather sent
them from st. Paul so Uncle Sam
gave in and established another sta
ton in Minneapolis.

About Bronchitis.

When a cold extends to the bron-
chial tubes it is called bronchitis. For
this disease Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy is excellent Mrs. Will Har-
ris, GAINESVILLE, Ohio, says of it, 'Last
winter I was bothered for several
weeks with bronchitis. I also had a
dreadful dry hacking cough that
chung to me so persistently that be-
came alarmed. Finally I had the
good fortune to learn of Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy. It relieved the

DRY SENTIMENT INCREASING

Dry sentiment is increasing not
alone in the state of Minnesota but
in many other states. In Michigan
three thousand three hundred and
twenty-six saloons will be forced out
of business if statewide prohibition

Of these about forty per cent are To-

of returning a man to congress who

 TURKISH THANKS
TURKS BEING DRIVEN WEST WARD FROM ONE POSITION
 TO ANOTHER.
SHORE BATTERIES DESTROYED
Once in Possession of Diarbekr 1t Is Only Days March to the Bagdad Railway, Last Remaining Com
 munication Into Syria.

Petrograd.-The Russians are press ing on both Hanks the advantage gained at Erzerum. On the right, along the Black Sea coast, by the CO., operation of the sea and land forces, they are driving the Turks from one position after another to the east of Trebizond, and active operations against that important seaport are ex- pected soon.
 In the last two days the Russians have occupied Witde (Widje) and pressed forward 10 or 12 miles west ward. The fleet has destroyed several shore batteries which might have been of assistance to the Turks, and by keeping well in advance of the land forces and by destroying bridges over several streams has rendered the Turks retreat more difficult. The fleet has been working so close to the shore that the warships have been reached by rife fire from the Turkish troops On the other nand the ships have spread confusion in the ranks of the Turks by dropping shells among them.
 On the left flank, after the occupa- tion of Kopn, the Russians pushed on to Mush and Achlat, the latter on the north shore of Lake Van. From Koph to Mush, 50 miles over mountain roads, they fought several battles and occupied Mush by storm.
 The Turks fled southward to Diar- bekr, the next objective point of the Russian army. Once in possession of Diarbekr it is only days march to the Bagdad Railway, the last remain ing communication into Syria.

MAY CUT DOWN BIG DUMP AND DIG CANAL THROUGH THE
 BOTTOMS.
TRAFFIC HAS BEEN RESUMED
Recent Overflow Has Caused Di verse Opinion as to the Value of Real Estate in Bottoms Sub-
 ject to Overflow.
Newport

NoWp0rt.-
 The decline of the river, with the construction of a temporary bridge over a gap in the causeway across Newport lake, has permitted traffic between this city and East Newport to be resumed. The causeway across this lake is believed to be the cause of the two late overfows of Newport and it is probable that the dump will be cut down to within a few feet of the water line at normal stage of wa ter, and the causeway surfaced with concrete for it's protection when the breaks in the levees above this plant let the flood into the lake basin.
 Another measure for the future pro- lection of the city and the railroads from washOuts of dumps and levees will be the construction of a canal from the Oil Trough bottom to the De Parte creek basin, thence to the river below Newport, thus taking care of a large volume of water that would otherwise increase the pressure on the levees about the city. At the same time this will save large areas of fertile agricultural land in Oil Trough bottom from overflow.
 The recent overflow has caused differences of opinion as to the value of real estate in the bottoms subject to overflow. In suit being tried in the local Circuit Court, s. Heinemann, a Newport merchant, is suing Jack son county for damages sustained by public highway being built through a large tract of cultivated land. Wit nesses estimated the value of the real estate occupied by the highway at from $50 to S125
