findings of the court of inquiry, that sat
to investigate the charges against Ad
miral Schley, my little boys plied me
with a great many questions about it.
They were very much interested am!
amused at my sarcastic answers. I have
written out some of my answ-ers in
rhyme, thinking they might interest
other boys. I hand them to you to look
over. If you think they would be inter
esting enough to others to bear publish

Over=Work Weakens
Your Kidneys.
All the blood in your body passes through
your kidneys once every three minutes.
The kidneys are your
blood purifiers, they fil
ter out the waste or
impurities in the blood.
If they are sick or out
of order, they fail to do
their work.
Pains, achesandrheu
matism come from ex
cess of uric acid in the
blood, due to neglected
kidney trouble.
Kidney trouble causes quick or unsteady
heart beats, and makes one feel as though
they had heart trouble, because the heart is
over-working in pumping thick, kidney-
poisoned blood through veins and arteries.
It used to be considered that only urinary
troubles were to be traced to the kidneys,
but now modern science proves that nearly
all constitutional diseases have their begin
ning in kidney trouble.
If you are sick you can make no mistake
by first doctoring your kidneys. The mild
and the extraordinary effect of Dr. Kilmer's
Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy is
soon realized. It stands the highest for its
wonderful cures of the most distressing cases
and is sold on its merits
by all druggists in fifty-
cent and one-dollar siz
es. You may have a
sample bottle by mail Home <>r s«amr-R<^i
free, also pamphlet telling you how to find
out if you have kidney or bladder trouble.

We Get The Boat
Things We Need and Can Have
Board of Trade To Be Organized.
The little agitation last week serves well the purpose of showing
what a well-organized board of trade might do to advance public interests.
We are to have a steamboat on the river, with a regular agent*, as an
nounced in another column. The moment it was seen that the citizens
meant business, and would have a boat, one came without solicitation, and
came eagerly. Whether we will have the other boat or not, remains to be
reported.
This paper calls special attention to the announcement of the firm of
Jones & Adams in this issue. Their purpose is clearly stated This lum
ber industry has been the principal agency for employment of men and
distribution of wages in this city for years. The desire of the firm to so
shape their business this new year as to build a large mill on the river
which would be able to operate the year round, and cheapen lumber while
keeping busy twelve months in the year, is a commendable one, and on?
which might be advanced and helped in many wavs by business organiza
tion. With such a change logs could be floated down during the high wa
ter season, and the bugbear of hauling the finished product a distance of
17 miles would be obviated. Business would be created for both boats and
railroad in shipping the lumber, and more men employed for a longer
period than can be done now. They desire to sell the factory and clear un
stock to render them financially able to make the change.
As spring advances every good citizen must desire the heretofore pro
posed cannery to be established by Messrs. Galloway and Hendrick. Or
~
ganized effort will secure this. We must make another scrape of moss
from our backs this spring. Slight movements of this kind in years
passed have benefited us. Other towns are vicing
_ with each other (and
even wirh us) io securing industries which employ people and attract in
vestors, while creating markets for the products of agriculture.
To this end a public meeting is called to convene in the city hall on
Monday evening, Jan. 13th, to organize a board of trade. Every citizen is
invited to be present and participate. Remember the date and lend your
presence.
Old Blue dozed and purred in the artn
chair and the Shin Warmers filed in, one
and two at a time. When the meeting
warmed t.p, the fat man with a revenue
disposition said : “How are they gittin’
along with the steamboat business?”
“Hit'll go all right,” said the selt-
owned hardware mail.
“If the gov’ment owned the railroad,”
said the socialist, ‘‘we’d get our freight
at cost and—” but the druggist thrust
the poker into the stove with much vio
lence, and whistled and banged around
until the subject was changed.
“Don't hear anything more about the
cannery lately,” said the retired grocery
man who is waiting for an office.
"Waitin’ for Galloway to come home,
I guess,” surmised the surveyor, who
was a mayor. "That’s right,” said the
hustling attorney with the stick under
his arm, "that’s right, that's right,
that’s right.”
“My cow Flowed off the bridge the
other night and strained her milk,"
spoke up the farmer with the hard front
name. “Well, I'll be joswizzled,” said
the judge, that's an old gag, what about
that cannery, anyway?”
"Where do they propose to put the
cannery, on the railroad or on the
river?” asked the pale-faced express of-
ficc editor.
“Who’d put money into a cannery in
this town, I’d like to know?” asked the
moss faced cynic in a tone of sarcasm.
“This is a good town for a cannery,”
said the shepherd boy. “It is within
three hours of ships that will take its
products to any of the markets of the
world. The cannery is all right if you
can get it into the trust, and you can
get it into the trust if you will put up
only A I goods. ”
The meeting quit, and Old Blue
climbed back into the chair, singing,
“Where Is My Iloy Tonight?”
