NEWPORT XEWS Va March 12 Much
speculation has been indulged in here re
garding the visit of the Houe Committee
on Nival Aftsirs, which nominal! j came
here for the purpo-e of inspecting the re
centlj commissioned battleship Kear-irge
?nd some of the other work being done for
the Government In the shipjard here In
this connection however it is regarded a
rather significant that the committee
should visit Newport News dircctlj after
the survejs of the half mile of water front
propertj belonging to Mr Huntington have
i.n mpif Tt Iijs rccentlv developed that
this committee is in favor of establishing
an armor-plate plant for the manufacture
of such armor as the Government nnj need
in the construction of the vessels of the
Navv and there are thoe who believe that
Mr Huntington is endeavoring to interest
the Government ofilclals in Newport News
as a probable site for the proposed plant
In the meantime Mr Huntington will be in
position to build a plant of his own if the
Government is not favorablj impressed
with Newport News as a site for the Gov
ernment plant At the last session of the
Legislature the companj was authorised to
increase its capital stock $t 000 CCO which
would probablj be sufficient to erect and
equip quite a decent armor-plate plant
The members of the House Naval Com

CHICAGO, March 12 Gen. Ewin V.
Sumner, United States Armj-, retired, is in
the city on his way to New York to com
plete the organization of the Nation Mili
tia Rough Riders, the members of which
bodj are to attend for one jear a practical
mllltarj school The committee, which has
the matter in charge, Is composed of Gov.
ChailJ3 S Thoma3, of Colorado, S. K.
Hooper, and D H. Moffat, of Denver, C. D.
Gurlej, a New York banker, and General
Hile, United States Armj. This committee
has selected General Sumner as the com
rainder of the organization. The plans
contemplate the cnlistmert for one year of
voting men between the ages of eighteen
and thirtj jears, who will receive a prac
tical course of militarj science in all its
branche"
The initiation fee consists or ?30 a horse,
horse equipment, doming, arms food, and
shelter. The camp will be located in the
Pan Miguel Vallej. Colorado, 400 miles
from Denver The United States Armj
regulations will govern all of the men, but
they will be allowed more latitude than iu
the regular service. On his arrival here
jesterdiy General Sumner received tele
grams from New York, stating that appli
cations were coming in rnpidly and that
a cablegram had been received from Lon
don stating that 150 men would arrive in
camp from England earlj in July
A meeting of the committee will be ueld
in New York April .!, at which time it is
expected that the full quota of .",000 men
will have joined the organization
' I believe that the training of men in
what is now termed tin Rough Rider
bianch of the militarj service will be a
great thing foi tins eountrj ' said General
Sumner It has been demonstrated time
and time again in everj modern war that
the cavalrj branch of the mihtaij has
greatlj contributed to success The lat
ent Instance is the work of General French
of the English Armj In the Transvail If
it had not been for General Sheridan there
would have been no Appomattox and Lee
would probably have been holding the
mountains of that section of the country

DOCTORS
Progression
13 the watchword of men and women who
are alive and up-to-date. 01d-fogyi3m and
stagnation are mental death. Nations,
cities, and individuals that progress aro --,.
not afraid to get out of the beaten path.
The aggressive, earnest, intelligent man
or woman is not bound by codes or dog
mas. They think for themselves, and hu
N" manlty benefits thereby. As a class, th
medical profession is clannish. The oV
school smacks of decay. Bleeding a.d
blistering died hard, but died never'ne
less, while homeopathy continues tj pro
gress. The great Pasteur was not a phy- . -sician,
jet he blazed a pat'iway which t
thousands now gladly follow. A few
bright, active, progressive physicians, who
will not be bound by precedent, and who
have the courage of their convictions, are
doing a great woik for the profession a3
a whole. The believe that no man or
school has absorbed all the medical
knowledge obtainable, and when a scien
tific discovery is made that revolutionizes
a pet theory for the treatment of disease,
arc willing to give it a fair trial and abide
by the results if favorable. Such a phy
sician Is Dr. L. M. Lander, or Chicago.
Read and weigh the honest words of this
noted specialist:
"Several times during the past few years I have observed the ef
fects of Warner's Safe Cure in cases of Kidney Trouble. I found that
the action of the medicine was highly curative in effect, and that
most desirable results followed its faithful use.
"I believe it to be a vory fine remedy for Kidney disorders.
(Jan. 20, 100 ) "DR. L. M LANDER."
