Washington, Jan. 15. The national
rivers and harbors congress, which
opens its session here today, Is one of
the most Important national gather
ings of that kind ever held In this
country. The congress Is composed of
delegates representing the leading
commercial and Industrial Interests of
the country and every state and ter
ritory Is represented In it. Among the
delegates are many men of promi
nence In the world of commerce In the
world of commerce, Industry and ft
nance and all of them have been se
lected with a special regard for their
fitness and seriousness of purpose.
The subject of the congress Is to
consider the needs of the various parts
of the country In regard to Improved
harbors and water ways and to de
vise plans and methods to Impress on
the United States congress the Im
portance of providing such improved
waterways and harbor improvements,
by making the necessary appropria
tions from year to year. This is the
second meeting of the National Rivers
and Harbors Congress. The first meet
ing was held in Baltimore in 1901.
Last summer it was felt by the mer
chants of the Ohio valley and In other
parts of the country that another na
tional meeting was necessary to Im
press upon congress the necessity of
providing more promptly and liberally
for river and harbor Improvements In
all parts of the country, particularly
for the Improvement of the Ohio river
And of some of the most Important
ether- waterways and harbors In the
country, A meeting was held of rep
resentative! of tho Ohio valley and
several members of the executive Com
mittee of the National River and Har
bors Congress, In which It was de
cided to recommend to the executive
committee nf the latter organization,
to call anolhef meeting. The present
meeting was then called by President
Robert Ramsay, of Baltimore.
In accordance with the plan of the
congress no special waterway or sec
tion of the country will be consider
ed at the meetings of the congress.
The situation will merely be consider
ed In a general way and a concerted
effort will be made to induce congress
to make ample appropriations for the
work to be done In the entire country.
After this each section will work In
dividually for the money required to
carry on the Improvements In the re
spective localities.
The distinguished character of the
delegates selected to represent the dif
ferent states In the congress gives am
ple proof of the Importance attached
to the subject nf Improved water ways
and harbors. What remains to be
done Is to Impress upon congress the
fact that the commercial and Indus
trial Interests of the country as a
whole demand recognition and prompt
attention to the needs of the entire
country In regard to. water ways and
harbor Improvements. For that pur
pose the National Rivers and Harbors
Congress will unite Its efforts upon the
general proposition, without weaken
lng its strength by specializing In Its
demands. That will be left to the In
dividual work and efforts of the rep
resentatlves of the various sections.
A Modern Miracle.
"Truly miraculous seemed the re
covery of Mrs. Mollle Holt of this
place," writes J. O. R. Hooper, Wood
ford, Tenn., "she was so wasted by
coughing up puss from her lungs.
Doctors declared her end so near that
her family had watched by her bed
side 48 hours; when, at my urgent re
quest Dr. King's New Discovery was
given her, with the astonishing re
suit that Improvement began, and con
tlnued until she finally completely re
covered, and Is a healthy woman to

Wallowa Tax Ievy.
The county court In session last
week fixed the tax levy on the 1905
roll at 14 mills. The court found that
11 mills will be amply sufficient to
meet the general expenses of the
county for the ensuing year, and that
It Is possible by adding an extra three
mills to pay off the present Indebted
ness. A system of rigid economy will
be Inaugurated and the court hopes to
see the county out of debt and war
rants at par at the end of 1906. Los

Harrisburg, Pa., Jan. 15. The extra
session of the state legislature of Penn
sylvania, called together by Governor
Pennypacker for the purpose of con
sidering certain proposed reform leg
islation on various subjects, was open
ed here this morning with the custom
ary ceremonies. Among the subjects
to be considered by the legislature
during the extra session are the fol
lowing: A law to enable contiguous cities
In the same counties to be united In
one municipality with a view of de
creasing the cost of municipal admin
istration; .this refers to the Greater
Pittsburg bill, for the consolidation of
the cities of Pittsburg and Allegheny.
An act of this kind was passed by the
lust legislature but was declared un
constitutional by the supreme court.
Another matter to be considered Is,
to Increase the Interest paid by banks,
trust companies and similar Institu
tions for the use of state moneys, etc.
Other subjects are to reapportion
the state into senatorial and and rep
resentative districts; to ' provide for
the personal registration of voters; to
provide for the government of cities of
the first class and the proper dlstrl
button of the power exercised by such
municipalities. This refers partlcu
larly to the repeal of the law known
as the Phllidalphla "Ripper," taking
away from the mayor of Philadelphia
the authority to appoint a director ot
public safety and a director of public
works and authorizing their appoint
ment to be made by the .city council.
Among minor matters to be con
sidered are a law to designate the

WHAT IS
Advertising ?
A business force that within the last 15 years
has developed into a science. A a legitimate
and honorable way, if judiciously and properly
pursued, of keeping oneself pleasantly in the
minds of the public, to the benefit of both the
advertiser and the public.
It is a science as sure as political economy
is a science. It's development depends upon art
as certainly as that of any other science.
Advertising is the greatest force in business
today. Advertising matter, if properly pre
pared, is sure to be read is sure to influence
the reader. The public looks with ever in
crersing respect and interest on the man who
advertises well.

the erection of county bridges and to
take such other measures In regard to
them as safety may require and a law

the most Important bills Is that In re

Interesting Legal Question.
New York, Jan. 15. An Interesting
legal question is Involved in a case
which came up In the city court today.
The court is asked to decide whether
a man's fiancee or his brothers and
sisters have a stronger claim to his
money. Delia Ryan was engaged and
shortly to be married to Frank Ryan,
who was killed In an accident. He
gave Miss Ryan his bank books, show
ing $400 on deposit, his Insurance pol
icy and a deed to his burial plot. She
turned over the last two to his sister
and brother and kept the bank book.
EUMATISM
Rheumatism is usually worse in Winter because of the cold and damp
ness and other changed conditions of the climate. The occasional twinges
of the disease that are felt during the warmer weather are changed to pierc
ing pains, the muscles become inflamed and swollen, the nerves get sore and
excited, the bones ache, and Rheumatism, the terror of winter, takes posses
sion of the system. Then the sufferer turns to the liniment bottle, the
woolen clothes, the favorite plaster or some home remedy, in an effort to get
relief. But Rheumatism is not a trouble that can be rubbed away or drawn
out with a plaster; these things relieve the pain and reduce the inflammation,
but do not reach the real cause of the trouble, and at the next exposure an
other attack comes on. Rheumatism is caused by a sour, acid condition of
the blood. The refuse matter and bodily impurities which should be carried
off through the channels of nature have been left in the system because of
indigestion, weak Kidneys, torpid Liver and a general sluggish condition of
the system. These impurities sour and form uric acid, which is absorbed by
the blood and distributed to the different muscles, joints, nerves and bones,
causing the painful symptoms of Rheumatism. S. S. S. goes to the root of

the blood. It neutralizes the acids and filters
