New Disease is Threatened. Are Londoners to live on tubes? Thai is to say. is our great metropolis to hav a more substantial foundation than un derground railways of one kind or an other? Where are people, Avho do nol care to vibrato, going to find peace? Al ready those who live over the existing electric railway under Oxford street fine that their house rooms are in a state ol constant oscillation, not unlike that pro duced by a feeble earthquake, and as the process of extension proceeds ther "will be few thoroughfares of any im portance which are not subject to the tremor—a malady that turns out to be nerve irritant few people can endure. The worst of the outlook is that it is im possible to anticipate the direction which new lines will follow, so that a house taken upon a long lease may become sub ject to tube vibration. The effect of this new terror is sure to tell upon the nerves of Londoners, and some description of tube affection will bp among the maladies of the future.—London Daily Telegraph. PRESIDENT OF PRESIDENTS. A Distinguished Lady, Indeed, Is Mrs. Mary K. Poole, of Whiting Ind. Whiting, Ind., Feb. 4, 1901.—(Spe cial.)—The presidents of the Ladies of the Grand Army of the Republic have an association composed exclusively of the presidents of the different State associations. This Presidents' Associa tion chooses a president,'and to this very high auI distinguished position Mrs. Mary E. Poole of this place has been elected. Mrs. Poole is thorough ly deserving of this great honor. Her devotion to the interests of the associa tion is very marked, and her experi ence with the old soldiers of the G. A. R. is wide. Mrs. Poole is never slow to take advantage of anything that may benefit the veterans, and her zeal has resulted in mudi that is good to these -grand old men. She writes 1 her experiences: "Honor to whom honor is due, and having seen the numerous ures effected through the use of Dodd's Kidney Pills, I gladly endorse them as being particularly effective to cure that dreaded disease of so many of our old soldiers, Bright's Disease, and Kidney Disorders of different kinds. Kidney Disease soon poisons the entire system, and as a result the vital organs are attacked, and I have found that no remedy so surely, com pletely and quickly finds the weak spot and heals it as Dodd's Kidney Pills. "I have used them myself In slight attacks of biliousness and indigestion, and usually find that from three to four p*:ils do the work." Such evidence from a lady of much distinction and experience should convince any sufferer from Kidney Trouble that Dodd's Kidney Pills is the remedy that never fails. 50c a box, six boxes for §2.50.

Keats, one of the earliest settlers of Atchison county, Kas., is dead. In the T()s Mr. Keats was a freighter across the phi ins Once he walked from Salt Lake City to Atchison in thirty-eight days. An Atchison man once told the writer that Keats boasted the ownership of a dog that had walked all the way from the Missouri river to Sacramento^ Cal., and that no other dog had ever made this trip on foot. It was a fact well known among plainsmen that dogs could not stand a trip across the plains and the mountains. In the earlier stages they chased rabbits and coyotes until they wore themselves out. Keats prob ably had a dog that kept itself under the wagon and attended strictly to business. —Kansas City (Mo.) Journal.

Germany also gives work to more miners than this country employs, and yet this country turns out a great deal more iron and coal than either of those kingdoms. The reason why we obtain a far greater product with a much smaller mining force is that we use a great deal of improved miniug machin ery so that though we pay the highest wages the cost of mining is less in this country than in most European lands.— New York Sun. A Remedy for the Grippe. Physicians recommend KEMP'S BAL SAM as a remedy for patients afflicted with the grip, as it is especially adapted for the throat and lungs. Do not wait for the first symptoms of the disease, but get a bottle to-day and keep it on hand for use the moment it is needed. If neg lected the grip has a tendency to bring on pneumonia. KEMP'S BALSAM pre vents this by keeping the cough loose and the lungs free from inflammation. All druggists sell KEMP'S BALSAM sit 25c and 50c. Large Telescopes Show More Stars. Today the stars visible from the first to the thirteenth magnitude aggregate to about 43.000.000, of which nearly 10. 000,000 have been photographed. In the most powerful telescopes even the fif teenth magnitude has been revealed of this magnitude perhaps 100,000,000 stars are suspected, but knowledge concerning them is uncertain.

"When I was down in Cuba," said Delegate Flynn of Oklahoma to a writer in the Washington Post, "I heard a good story about an army officer and a flamingo. A flamingo? Why, it-is a bird of beautiful red plumage which abounds in the tropics. Weii, to con tinue. I hoard of a post commandant who, like all other post commandants, was not popular. He had two lads. First, he believed in whitewash and plenty of it. asserting it to be the most effective preventive of tropical diseases ever discovered. His second fad was an apparently unreciprocated attachment to a pet flamingo, who resented being kept in captivity and who showed his lesentment by nipping at every soldier who passed his way. On the part of the soldier there was nothing to do but swear under his breath and wait for re venge. "On a certain Monday morning an or der was issued from headquarters that all articles pertaining to the camp which were not sheltered from the weather should he whitewashed. No one who knows the American soldier,"' added Mr. Flynn, "needs further information. When I saw the flamingo he was as white as snow. The chances are that the bird will survive the operation, but he will hardly outlive the post command ant's wrath.'' Neighbor—"You've got a lovely bed room, now, with this new carpet.' Just put it down, didn't you?" Hostess—"Yes just through." Neighbor—"I thought so, from the tacks scattered around the floor.

My hus band is a newspaper humorist, and every time he steps on one, he'll think of some new joke about it. I hope he'll make enough out of them to pay for the car pet.''—New York Weekly. A well-known Episcopal clergyman, quoted by the Philadelphia Press, was speaking of the Vanderbilt-French wed ding and so came naturally to the ques tion of what lie called wedding fright. "It is," he said, "a good deal worse than stage fright, I should think, and it gen erally, curiously enough, attacks the man rather than the woman. I suppose that is because most women have lived the first part of their lives looking forward to the event, while men—well, men, I re gret to say, don't. It comes to them as always more or less of a surprise. They are continually saying, for example. 'With all my worldly goods I thee and thou' instead of 'I thee endow.' and 'my awful wedded wife' is another instance where a dropped 1 is as bad as. in some cases, an overlooked li might be.

The teacher, much astonished, looked at the place and there read: "Now after these things in the reign of Artaxerxes, King of Persia, Ezra, the son of Seraiah. the son of Azariah, the son of Hilkiah." "Why. there is nothing there about Smith or Jones," she said. "I know there isn't." replied the child. "But when I'm reading to my grand mother and I come to a place like this she says.

Everybody laying in a stock of this valuable remedy in time to meet the terrible enemy, the Grip. The extensive facilities of the manufacturers taxed to their ut most to meet the urgent demand for Peruna. Almost everybody has the grip. Almost everybody must have Pe runa. Taken at the appearance of the first symptoms of the grip, not only is Peruna a prompt cure for the grip but it prevents those disastrous after effects so characteristic of this dread disease. Peruna not only cures the grip, but prevents it. Taken in time thousands of lives will be saved in this present epidemic. Every family should take the precaution to secure a supply of Peruna at once, for the retail and wholesale stock of the remedy may be exhausted by the enormous demand for it. It is wisdom to have Peruna in the house even before the grip attacks the household. It has been ascertained by a reporter that the following people of national reputation have given public indorsement and testimonials to Peruna as a remedy for la grippe: Congressman Howard of Alabama says: "I have taken Peruna for the grip and recommend it as an excellent remedy to all fellow-sufferers." Congressman White of North Carolina says: "I find Peruna to be an excellent remedy for the grip. I have used it in my family and they all join me in recommending it." Miss Frances M. Anderson of Washington, D. C.. daughter of Judge Anderson of Virginia, says: "I was taken very ill with the grip. I took Peruna and was able to leave my bed in a week." Mrs. Harriette A. S. Marsh, President of the Woman's Benevolent ciation of Chicago, writes: "I suffered with grip seven weeks. Nothing helped me. Tried Peruna and within three weeks I was fully restored. Shall never be without it again." At the appearance-of the first symptoms of grip people should stay in doors and take Peruna in small doses (teaspoonful every hour) until the symptoms disappear. This will prevent a long, disastrous sickness and perhaps fatal results. iiimimiiMnnnuMMnmnMnmimmmi FREE I WINCHESTER] SHOTGUNS and FACTORY LOADED SHOTGUN SHELLS the winning combination in the field or at the trap.
