ALLEN Branch Uniontown JPhones, 731 and 3871 FEW AMERICAN FLAGS University Discusses Question The Merchant Marine. Of CHICAGO. March 2S.-"One of the, rarest sights to be seen on the wans of the world today is a mer chant vessff sailing tinder American eolors," says Professor John C Freeman of Wisconsin, in a commoni cation to the Chicago Association of Commerce. "Only once in the last eighteen years." he declares, "has there enter ed the port of Copenhagen, the largest on" the Baltic, a vessel flying the American flag. That was during the presidency of Grow Cleveland. "Why it is that our merchant ma rine, which before the Civil War was the greatest pride of onr country, has become so insignicant? One reason is that during the war the Union com panies found it wise to put their Boers onder European management. Since then the ship building states lave held Congress by the nose with a law which allows no vessel to carry or colors unless it is built in an American ship yard. There are hun dreds of vessels owned by and man ned by Americans and carrying Amer ican cargoes compelled to sail under! toreign colors. "If we can try the ship subsidy and get away from the old restricting laws we will find that the merchant marine of this country is second to none in the world." .

Bssscrman, that the Conservatives were deter mined to carry through financial re form without considering where they would get a mayority. This evidently means with the assistance of the cleri cal party, which the government has tabooed since the dissolution in 1906. Herr Bassermann said: You intend that as giving notice of the termination of the bloc." Herr von Normann in reply said: "The bloc can remain for other na tional purposes." The National Lib erals, however, held a caucus later and voted to unanimously regard the Con servative communication as serving notice of the termination of the bloc. The caucus also decided to adhere to the Liberal programme that taxes on articles. of general consumption can not be accepted without some taxa tion aimed especially at the wealthy classes, but the conservative leader' statement included the complete re jection of such a tax, as well as an estate duty- on property of deceased persons. The Conservatives also served similar notice on the radicals. This action caused a great sensation in the lobbies of 'he Reichstag iottard the close of the day" esion, when it became known. This means the abandonment of Chancellor von Bue- low by his own party to join the Cler icals, who latterly have been fiercely attacking the Chancellor because he only half-heartedly defended the Em peror in the November debate. It is also known that the court clique has been moving heavln and earth for some time past to under mine Prince von Buelow with the emperor. ' FIRE AT JACKSONVILLE JACKSONVILLE Fla, March 25.

He wants a Post-Office, land office, forestry service and other federal offices provided with a build ing at Glenwood Springs. In addi tion, he wants a monument erected to the memory of Genral Denver, and an agricultural experiment station.

BURBANK PLAN" F AILS End of Efforts To "Incorporate" Plant WLrards' Work. SAN FRANCISCO. March 25.- The efforts of a group of local and eastern capitalists to incorporate the results of the genius of Luther Bur bank the plant wizard of Santa Rosa, have failed. Some time ago the Law Brothers of this city and Oscar Bin ner of New York announced that they had completed plans whereby the pro ducts of the noted naturalist were to be handled exclusively by a corpora tion which they had formed for that purpose. In giving his reason for not ratifying the agreement, Mr. Burbank made the following state ment: "The early development did not in dicate satisfactory future results cither to the world or the parties in volved in the transaction. As no cor poration had yet been formed and only a preliminary contract executed when the proposition was found to be mpractieable, it was mutually agreed that it be abandoned." HAS CRIMINAL RECORD Boyle, The Kidnapper, Known To Various Police Forces. CLEVELAND, O., March 25 That James Boyle, who with his wife is under arrest here in connection with the kidnapping of Willie VVhitla : of Sharon, Pa., is not a stranger to the methods of the police is the be lief of the Cleveland authorities. Re ports from other cities indicate that he has been in trouble before. Dispatches from East St. Louis tell of Boyle being arrested at Springfield III., about a year ago on the charge of uttering false mortgages. The ar rest was requested by the Hast St. Louis police, but the case was dis missed with no prosecution. Boyle was born in the vicinity of Sharon, Pa., and has a mother, sister and four brothers living there at pres ent. About seven or eight years ago Boyle joined the army and was sent to the Philippines. He returned after a couple years of service suffer ing from a growth on the side of his neck. His relatives say that it also ag'ccted his mind somewhat and that he did queer things. Boyle came to Cleveland about five years ago to seek treatment for his neck, stopping with relatives here, who wished to help him, For some weeks he took treat ment at St. Alexis and the growth was finally removed. It was at that time that Boyle first gained his famil iarity with Cleveland and became ac quainted with the Ontario Street Saloonkeeper on whom he called shortly before being arrested. A few weeks later- he disappeared Boyle says that he met the woman who is now in custody with him, in Salt Lake, and that they were married there. J PREPARE JT FOR YOUR KIDNEYS SIMPLE MIXTURE SAID TO PROMPTLY OVERCOME ALL DISORDERS OF THE KIDNEYS AND BLADDER. There are more cases of kidney trouble here now lhan ever before, while recent reports show that more people succumb each year to some form of kidney disease than any other cause. When there is sickness,, examine the urine. Khttmutism is only a symptom of kidney trouble. It is nothing more or less than excessive uric acid in the blood, which the slug gish, inactive kidneys have failed to sift out, leaving it to decompose and settle about the joints and muscles, causing intense suffering; frequently resulting in defonlit.v; often reaching the heart, when death ensues- Pains across the back, frequent painful and suppressed urination and other symptoms of weak bladder are not the only signs of kidney trouble; many cases of stomach disease, head ache, pain in the heart, inactive liver, etc, are but symptoms; the cause of which can be traced to feeble, clogged kidneys. A simple test of the urine is to void a small quantity in a bottle or glass and let it stand over night: next morn ing, if there is a reddish brick-dust sediment, or white fleecy substance present .either consult some reputable physician or take a good vegetable treatment. The following prescription is recommended highly in these cases, and the sufferer can mix it at home: Compound Kargon. one ounce; Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half ounce; Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three ounces. Shake well and use in teaspoonful doses after each meal and at bedtime. Where any of the symptoms enu merated above are present, good re sults are sure to follow immediately the use of this simple prescription. OUT OF THE GINGER JAR The tomoto can but will it?

Neither a boil nor a cabbage amounts to anything unless it comes to a head. If young Spendthrift would sett! down he might soon be able to settle up. One of the most insidious and tin expected forms of attack, is to tread upon a tack. You cannot always gauge the im portance of a man by Jhe angle at which he wears his hat- There is quite a difference between the door-iamb and the jam that mother used to make.

Laurin Is the agent for Hyomei in Astoria and he will sell you an inhaler, a bottle of Hyomei, and full instruc tion for use, for only $1. And it it tails to cure acute or chronic catarrh, asthma, bronchitis, croup, hay fever or coughs and colds, he will give you your money back.
