An Omaha Experience:

F. J. Kessel, 221s S. Seventeenth St.,
says: my kidneys were weak for some time:
AT first they began to act too often and
had to pass the secretions every little while.
Finally, l began to have trouble with my
back and also rheumatic pains in my knees.
After using Doan's Kidney Pills, my kidneys
got to acting right and the secretions clear
ed up. My back became easier and the rheu-
matte pains lessened."

ST. PETERS CHURCH NOTES

Rev. Thomas Getz Hill, Rector, An
nounces Services-Preparing for Lent
The following services may be ex-
pected in st. Peters Church for the
next week: Evensong ON Friday even
ing at z 80 O'Clock, followed by Choir
Rehearsal. Sunday, Feb. 4th, which
will be Septuagesima, Holy Communion
and sermon at 103 30 a. m, Sunday
School at IL noon, and EUensung with
Sermon at 7.30 p. m. Wednesday,
the 21st of February, will be Ash
Wednesday the beginning of another
Lent. To many people this means
nothing at all. because they have
never experienced the great blessing
consequent upon a well-kept Lent.
To others it means something, but to
very few of US does it mean all that it
might mean. And the fault is Ours.
Now in order to get the greatest benefit
from anything. it is necessary first of
all to know something at least of
what that best is. So it is purposed
for the next few weeks to give some
answers to this question, What good
can get from Lenti" First-You
can learn sincerity. The world is foil
of false representations, of "make-
believes" of shams. of shadowy
visions. The world calls darkness
light, and light darkness; it calls
bitter sweet. and sweet bitter, anC
tries to cover up all her guilty track:
with excuses, to make evil appear
good. On the other hand, every
thought the Church presents to yoU
daring this Lenten season is real, the
clearer revelation o. great facts il
human life. We view each fact a
God views it, not as the world view
it, We learn what life really is. wit
man really is, and who God really is
The moment you realize this res
contrast that exists, that moment yoI
will be inclined to faithfully use th
means offered you in Church to pro
duce a real Christian life and res
Christian growth. Remember, ii
the worldly mind alone that makes
sham and empty devotion. You ca
J get this good from Lent

Every advocate of better navigation
facilities for Smyrna will be interested
in the proceedings and discussion be-
fore Congress last week in the matter
of $40. 900 appropriation for Smyrna
River which Congressman Miller had
a hard fight to secure. 1t passed the
House after some opposition and is
now before the Senate. Mr.. Miller
championed the cause of Smyrna in
an admirable manner and not only
made his point clear from his own
standpoint, but submitted a letter
from ]. E. Hoffecker of this town,
giving additional light on the tonnage
that should be credited to Smyrna
River but never reported. In view
of the fact there is some talk of put
ting on this spring a fast freight and
passenger steamboat to ply between
Smyrna and Philadelphia, the con-
tinued improvement of the stream
from here to the Delaware Bay is a
question of paramount necessity. The
whole community therefore owes a
gratitude to Congressman Miller for
the stand he took in behalf of Smyrna
River navigation.

time to run. will be kept open
Plans for the departure of Mr.. Ger.
ard and his staff are still unsettled;
it will perhaps be several days before
they will leave Germany
The ambassador and Secretary
Grew, with their families, will return
directly to the United States. The at,

signed by the embassy to look after
the work connected with prisoners
and relief work, probably also will re.

Sale of Property Means That

Operated = Interview With

The Oglethorpe hotel was sold at
pubic outcry yesterday for the ac-
count of the Title Guarantee and
Trust company, of Atlanta, OF which
H. NJ Atkinson, former president OF
the Atlanta, birmingham and Atlantic
railroad, is the executive head. The
sale occurred under default proceed
ings on the part OF the Oglethorpe
company of the payment of interest
on first mortgage six per cent coupon
bonds issued under a mortgage in Au-
gust 1908, to secure an authorized is,
sue of 100000
The porperty was bid in yesterday
by President e. T.sLamb, of the At
lanta, Birmingham and Atlantic rail-
road. in the sum of $4,000. This
amount, of course. does not represent
the value of the property, but was
merely bid in at what might be term
ed reorganization price. President
Lamb was seen by a representative Of
the News yesterday and, discussing
the matter, stated that the A., B. and
A. people were anxious to not only
conserve their own interest, but to
Keep the well-being of Brunswick in
mind in the transaction. Mr.. Lamb
says that a reorganization of the
Oglethorpe will take place as speed
lily as possible, and that every effort
will be made to serve the best inter
ests of Brunswick in the matter of
handling the property
The Oglethorpe is one of the most
palatial hotels in Georgia. it contains
something over three hundred rooms,
occupies an entire city block, and was
originally intended for a tourist hotel.
During the first years of its opera
tion it was managed by some of the
most famous hotel men in the coun-
try Warren A. Leland Jr., J. H. King
and others who later attained emf.
nence in the hotel business, operated
it.
The Oglethorpe is one of the insti-
tutions in which Brunswick has a spe-
cial pride, and the statement of Pres
ident Lamb as to it's future will be
gratifying to the people of this city.

Cold Weather Made Work on
the New Ship Stop
Right Now.
STARTED AGAIN YESTERDAY
Probable That the Great Event
Will Take Place the Latter
Part of Coming Week-Invit=
ed Guests Notified.

According to announcement made
by the Brunswick Marine Construc-
ton Corporation yesterday the
launching of the first vessel COM
pleted by that company will not occur
on Saturday, as scheduled.
AS strange as it may seem, weather
conditions prevailing in Brunswick
has precluded the possibility of secur-
ing labor in any of the manufacture
ing plants along the river front, OF
course small crews have been at
work but on the whole all the ship
building plants have been out of COM
mission and the Marine construction
people have shared the fate OF the
rest OF them. For these reasons it
will be necessary to delay the launch-
ing of the new schooner, and while
no definite date has been fiy:,d, the
management hopes IT, be able to
launch it on Thursday, February Is.
The plant absolutely keeps up with its
work, and a day lost simply means
that any set schedule must be delayed
by such lost time. In case the work
cannot be speeded up in time for
launching on the fifteenth, it is very
likely that the event will have to 90
over to a date not earlier than Feb.
ruary 21. on account OF tide condi-
tions.
This slight delay viii not in any
way interfere with the splendid pro
gram already arranged or the launch
ing. The invited guests have leen
advised of the delay N the program,
and just as soon as is possible to fig
some date for the launching the pub
licity will be given to the event In
the meantime, good weather condi
tions yesterday brought out the full
force at the plant, and Manager Rut-
land and his assistants are pushing
the matter as rapidly as possible.
