jooi vt.xy, 8AVS MSSOSI. fkprakrr i'omiiiewsU SnUiff Fleet tit I'aclflc. of Washington, Aug. 19 Speaker Joseph G. Cannon when here last wV pnronte to New York, de- t i. v clared himself emphatically iu favor of President Roosevelt's plan to fend the battleship fleet to the Pacific Although he has had no communication with the President regarding this naval movement, the Speaker regards it as a natural 3evelopement of naval policy and unhesitatingly commends it. "Onr navy will be of no benefit to us," said "Uncle Joe," "unless the men know how to handle the ships, how to work the guns. Efficiency is more important than any other consideration, and it can "be gained only through practice. Therefore it is an excellent thing that the ships would be sent bv way of Cape Horn to the Pacific Coast as a practice maneuver. If it strengthens our diplomacy to have the battleships in the Pacific well and good, but whether it does or not the benefits of a long cruise are apparent. "So far as expense is concerned, it will cost no more than to send them to the West Indies or to European waters. If the fleet is in good condition it will make the trin satisfactoriallv. If it is not r Tve will learn its deficiencies, and they certainly should be known if they exist." "What will Congress do next cession for the navy?" Mr. Cannon was asked. "It will provide for adequate manning of the force we have and improvement," was the answer. "What new authorizations will there be?" "As to that I cannot say, but I feel there is a strong sentiment throughout the country in fayor of maintaining an efficient navy, and, as said before efficiency is more important than size. I would rather have odb modern battleship like the Dreadnaught or larger than ten battleships built ten years IflO Stolen Cattle In One Huncti When his opinion was asked as to the present depression of stocks attributed by prominent financiers to the administration's anti corporation policy, Speaker Can Don said: "1 assume from what 1 see in the newspapers that the Presiden is obeying his oath of office by enforcing the laws. What effect is it having upon the bulls and bears in Wall street I do not know, but I do know that through the Middle "West the people are so busy pre paring to harvest a vast corn crop, a great wheat crop and the best timothy crop we have had in a decade, that if yon try politics with them they say 'Let's see, when is election?' and then when yon say, 'Next year,' they Bay, Good Lord There is lots of time to talk politics. Come out and help me pitch hay.' The banks throughout the Middle West have more money than they have ever had before. They do not feel any concern. "So far as the fine Judge Landis imposed on the Standard Oil Com pany is concerned, I do not feel 1 1 J m. -w oDugea to comment, lor 1 assume that the Standard Oil Company has the money and the lawyers to appeal on a writ of error if they think there has been en or, and that the Supreme Court will decide the question properly. "If the Standard Oil Company were some poor man who could not help himself I might feel con Jl T- i cerneu. r or instance, it it was a case like this man Powers in Kentucky, for whose case I have in a hnmble way contributed a dollar or two, I might feel that I should do something. He is' without property, charged with murder, tried, convicted and the sentence reversed. That is a case in which the citizen might feel some con cern, for we all have some sympathy for the under dog." A report has been received at tha sheriff' cilice from Weiser to the effect that 100 head of cattle wvre stolen in that section and are believed to be iu the viciuity of Lawiston. The message does not give the bramle of the missing cattle or in any way enlighten the officers how they may identify the stolen stock. A close watch has been maintained over nil cattle being moved in this section but up to this time no trace of the missinc band has been discovered. The view is generally entertained that cattle taken from the Weiser country would not be brought near Lewiston as the excellent range to be crossed before reaching this part of the state and the oppor tunities for keeping the stolen cattle from the public view would doubtless cause those interested in the theft to keep away from the open country and telegraph wires. It has been suggested that the theft has been perpetrated by an organized band of cattle rustlers who a few weeks ago swooped down on the southwestern section of Nez Perce' country and drove 135 head of cattle into the wilds of the Blue mountains of Oregon and nave since succeeded in escaping h11 efforts of apprehension or re covery of the stock.

DIRDFTDsa TOWARDS Many people who are neglecting symptoms of kidney trouble, hoping "it will wear away," are drifting towards Bright' s Disease, which is kidney trouble in one of its worst forms. mm. stops irregularities, strengthens the urinary organs and builds up the worn-out tissues of the kidneys so they will perform their functions properly. Healthy kidneys strain out the impurities from the blood as it passes through them. Diseased kidneys do not, and the poisonous waste matter is carried by the circulation to every part of the body, causing dizziness, backache, stomach trouble, sluggish liver, irregular heart action, etc. ii you nave any signs oi iianey or twaaaer irouDie commence taking hULliY 5 KIDNEY CURE at once, as it will cure a slight disorder in a few days and prevent a fatal malady. It is pleasant to take and benefits the whole system. How to Find Out. You can easily determine if your kidneys are out of order by setting aside for 24 hours a bottle of the urine passed upon arising. If npon examination it is cloudy or milky or has brick-dust sediment or small particles float about in it, yout kidneys are diseased, and FOLEY'S KIDNEY CURE should be taken at once. G. B. Burhans Testifies After Four Years. G. B. Burhans of Carlisle Center, N. Y., writes: "About four jrear ago I wrote you stating that I had been entirsly cured of a severe kidney trouble by taking lev than two bottles of Foley'a Kidney Cure. It entirely stopped tb brick-dust sediment and pain and symptoms of kidney disease disappeared. I am glad to say that I have never had a return of any of those symptoms during the four .years that have elansed, and I am evidently cured to stay cured, and heartily recommend Foley'a Kidney Cur to any on suffering from kidney or bladder trouble.
