SUBSCRIPTION---$5.00 PER ANNUM PRINCE HENRY MAY RETIRE will Quit Navy League Unless Its Managing Director Resigns. Berlin, Jan. 13.—An official commu- nication just issued sets forth that Prince Henry of Prussia, brother of | Emperor William, and who represents his majesty as patron of the Navy Jeague, has decided to retire from this position in the event of Major General Keim continuing as managing direc- tor of the league. This decision would appear to be a result of a recent lengthy conference between Emperor Willlam and Prince Rupprecht of Bavaria, during which the prince explained that his retire- ment from the Bavarian branch of the league was due to tbe fact that Major General Keim hkad made use of the resources of the assoclation for po- litical purposes. The attitude taken by the emperor undoubtedly will re- sult in forcing Major General Keim to resign. It is largely due to the efforts of Major General Keim that the Navy league has been brought to its pres- ent powerful position, with more than 1,000,000 members. Keim, who re- tired from the army ten years ago, is a man of extraordinary vigorous per- sonality. After his retirement he con- celved it to be his patriotic mission to assist in the creation of a great Ger- man navy, and he followed this aim passionately. His present embarrass- ments are due to the theft a year ago from the central office of the league of certain private letters which indi- cated that he was opposing the Cen- trist candidates for election to the reichstag.

B HOLY WAR DECLARED Mulai- Hafid Proclaimed Sultan of Morocco at Fez. KBDEL AZIZ IS DETHRONED In Order to Arouse Fanaticism of the Southern Moors the Sultan of Rec- ord Is Represented as Having Sold Himself to the Christians. Tangier. Morocco, Jan. 13.—Mulal Hafid was, on Jan. 4, proclaimed sul- tan at Fez, one of the capitals of Mo- rocco, and a holy war has been de- clared. Unverified reports to this effect have been in circulation for a day or two, but official confirmation of them has been received. Mulai Hafid, who some months ago was proclaimed sul- tan at Morocco City, was not present at Fez, and his uncle, Mulai Saramini, was made vice regent pending his ar- rival there. Abdel Aziz, the sultan of record, was formally deposed from the sultanate. The proclamations were issued at the principal mosques and all the Moorish formalities attending such ceremonies were scrupulously ob- served. The uleamas, or body of Mos- lem doctors, who interpret the Koran, and the city officials were the prin- cipal leaders in the movement. The followers of Mulai Hafid made use of the decision of Abdel Aziz to co-oper- ate with France and Spain in the exe- cution of the terms of the Algeciras act and the installation of an interna- tional police force in the coast towns of Morocco to arouse the fanaticism of the Southern Moors. Abdel Aziz was represented as having sold him- self to the Christians, as having con- nived at the invasion of the sacred soil of Moroceo by Europeans and as being ready to turn the country over to the foreigners. ACTION IS UNEXPECTED. France Considerably Disturbed by Mo- roccan Developments. Paris, Jan. 13.—The government is considerably disturbed over the unex- pected declaration of a holy war at Fez and the proclamation of Mulai Hafid as sultan of Morocco. It is now anxiously awaiting information as to the number of tribes who will follow the rebel sultar. Everything will de- pend, it is explained, upon the strength which Mulai Hafid develops. It is pointed out also that France and Spain, holding a mandate from the powers, have no option but to recog- nize Abdel Aziz as the legitimate sul- tan. He signed the Algeciras act for Morocco and France and Spain will have to treat with him and sustain him so long as the official government remains in his hands. Should the rebel sultan become for- midable it is conceivable that the country might become divided, Mulal Hafid being supreme in the interior and Abdel AziZ, with the support of France and Spain, ruling on the coast. Such a situation might readily produce international complications. The immediate effect of the procla- mation of Mulai Hafid as sultan is certain to he the indefinite prolonga- tion of the stay of the French and Spanish troops in Morocco, which soon were to be withdrawn, as it would now be impossible to confide the polic- ing of the ports to Abdel Aziz without the safeguard of European troops. Pending. further developments, how- ever, the governments of France and Spain will proceed with the installa- tlon of a police force at Tangier and Rabat, while General d’Armade, the commander of the French forces in Morocco, will proceed vigorously with the work of pacifying the country around Casa Blanca. A special dispatch received here from Tangier says the imperial troops at Fez have announced their alle- glance to Mulal Hafid. Hafid’s par- tisans, in order to avold a complete | rupture with the powers; are reported to have declared their acceptance of the Algeciras act, but with certain reservations. CZAR HONORS FATHER JOHN Well Known Russian Priest Made Member of the Synod. 8t. Petersburg, Jan. 13.—Emperor Nicholas has manifested his confi- dence in Father John of Cronstadt, the well known Russian priest, by ap- pointing him to take part in the sit- tings of the synod of this year, an honor which up to the present time has been enjoyed by only two mem- bers of the non-monkish clergy, in- cluding the emperor's own confessor. There has been some improvement in the health of Father John, but his feebleness is still a source of anxfety. This year's sessions of the synod will be important, for during them im- portant principles of church reform will be elaborated. House Asks for Information. Washington, Jan. 13.—The house has adopted the Gill resolution calling on the secretary of the navy for cop- ies of all correspondence, orders and reports in the navy department fin connection with the appointment ot Surgeon Charles F. Btokes to com- mand the hospital ship Relief. The resolution also calls for other papers in the department in connection with the resignation of Rear Admiral Brownson as chief of the bureau of navigation. _— MARRIAGE LICENSE ISSUED Count Szechenyi and Gladys Vander- bilt Authorized to Wed. New York, Jan. 13.—A marriage Ii- cense has been issued to Miss Gladys Mocre Vanderbilt and Count Laszlo Jeno Maria Henrik Simon Szechenyi of Hungary. There were few persons In the marriage liconse bureau at the:| #ity hall when the couple arrived in a public carriage and they were not obliged to stand long in.the walting. tine of prospective brides and grooms.’| | The applicalion blank had been made out in advance and was ready for presentation when they were invited { MISS GLADYS VANDERBILT. to the city clerk’s office. Miss Van- derbilt’s age was given as twenty-one years in the application. Count Sze- chenyl described himself as twenty- elght years old, by occupation land- owner and imperial and royal cham- berlain, a native of Hungary and not previously married. In an official copy of the publication of the bans in Ormezo, Hungary, which was shown at the time the application for the license was filed, the count gave his roliglon as Roman Catholic. Miss Vanderbilt’s religion was not given. FAVORABLE TO SMELTER. Findings of Master in Montana Smoke Case. Butte, Mont., Jan. 13.—Master in Chancery Crane has filed findings in the famous Deer Lodge valley smoke case in the federal court and if ap- proved by Judge Hunt it is not likely that a permanent injunction asked for by farmers residing close to the §5,- 000,000 Washoe smelter at Anaconda wil be granted. Besides the significant views expressed by the master in his appended statement an important fea- ture is the manner in which the find- ings relating to the effect of arsenic upon the animals in the alleged smoke zone have been amended. The original finding now is made to state that no deaths were found to have occurred from arsenical poisoning, it being held that sickness only resulted. It was on the allegation that deaths of animals had occurred from such poi- soning that the request for a per- manent injunction was largely based. DISCUSS CURRENCY BILLS Democratic Members of House Com- mittee Hold Meeting. ‘Washington, Jan. 13.—The Demo- cratic members of the house commit- tee on banking and currency held a meeting for the discussion of the Fow- ler and Aldrich currency bills and voted unanimously to support any mo- tion for hearings on both bills before the full committee. It was developed that all of the minority members are opposed to the Aldrich bill because it enlarges the policy of securing cur- rency by the deposit ¢f bonds. Some of them also look with dis- favor on the Fowler bill as too revo- lutionary in its proposal of a complete retirement of all outstanding currency and the substitution of a currency se- cured by national bank assets. Steamship Rate War Ends. Berlin, Jan. 13.—The North German Lloyd Steamship company and the Nippon Yusen Kaisha (Japanese steamship company) have entered into an agreement whereby the Japanese company gives up its Indo-Chinese trade in favor of the North German Lloyd. The conditions of the agree- ment are not made public, but they are declared t& be satisfactory to both sides. The rate war between these two companies is thus at an end. Grange Favors Parcels Post. ‘Washington, Jan. 13.—General Bach- elder, master of the National Grange, and members of the legislative and oxecutive committees of the grange conferred with Postmaster General Meyer concerning his plan to extend the parcels post. General Bachelder sald the National Grange was heartily in accord with Mr. Meyer’s proposi- ton and would support before the committees of congress the proposi- tion of Mr. Meyer. Purchases Branch Line. Helena, Mont,, Jan. 13.—The Great Northern Railway company, for a con- sideration of $6,135,454, has purchased the line of the Montana Central rail- road, which runs from Great Falls to Butte. It has been controlled by the Great Northern for a number of years. Banks Show Necessary Reserve. ° New York, Jan. 13.—The weekly statement-of the clearing house banks showed a surplus of reserves under the requirements of the 25 per cent rule for the first time since the finan- clal stringency began in October. The surplus was $6,084,050. _— 8hoots His Boy and Himself. Ravenna, 0. Jan. 13.—Edwin Col- Her took his eight-year-old blind son Edwin to his wife’s grave in Ravenna cemetery and shot him dead and then put a bullet through his own body, near the heart. He will die. HE FAVORS JOHNSON State Chairman of New York Ex- presses His Opinion. FIRST ELECTION BET MADE John 8. McDonald, the Turfman, Wa- gers $5,000 With Thomas H. Shevlin of Minneapolis That Minnesota's Governor Will Win if Nominated. New York, Dec. 13.—Four Demo- crats, more or less conspicuous in national and state affairs, were in New York and left without collisions of im- portance. They were Thomas Tag- gart of Indiana, Roger C. Sullivan of Chicago, Noiman E. Mack of Buffalo end William 3 Couners of Buffalo, chairman of the Democratic state com- mittee. Mr. Conners had no hesitancy in saying that W. J. Bryan would not be an acceptable candidate in the coming campaign and he was equally sure that Governor Johnson of Minnesota ‘would be entirely so, if the Democrats at large only knew what an excellent man he is. ‘With the national conventions which will nominate presidential candidates still a numbter of months away betiing on the Tesult of the election has already been started at the metro- politan headquarters for campaign wagers, the Hoffman House. The first wager of the campaign is report- ed as having been recorded on the offer of John S. McDonald, the turf- man, to bet §5,000 that Governor John A. Johnson of Minnesota, if nomi- nated for the presidency, would be elected. The reported taker of the wager is Thomas H. Shevlin, at one time member of the Republican na- tional committee from Minnesota. COST OF PANAMA CANAL. Now Estimated It Will Be About Two Hundred Million Dollars. ‘Washington, Jan. 13.—Because of changed conditions from those exist- ing in 1905, when the minority of the board of consulting engineers of the Panama canal submitted its report, it is now admitted in responsible quar- ters that the estimate made by that report for building the canal was far too low and that the cost may approxi- mate $200,000,000. This includes va- rious incidental items, such as admin- istration, sanitation and improvements aggregating several millions of dol- lars in Panama and Colon, which, how- ever, will be refunded by the Panama government, the expenses of the zone government and various expenses in- cidental to the re-location and acqui- sition of the Panama railroad. The estimate of the board in 1905 was that the cost of the canal_would be WHAT THE KIDNEYS DO. Their Unceasing Work Keaps Us Strong and Healthy. All the blood in the body passes through the kidneys once every three minutes. - The kidneys filter the blood. They work night and day. When healthy they remove about 500 grains of impure matter daily, wnen unhealthy some part of this impure matter is lett in the blood. - This brings on many diseases and symptoms—pain in the back, headache, nervousness, hot, dry skin, rheumatism, gout, gravel, disorders of the eyesight and hearing, dizziness, irregular heart, debility,drowsiness, dropsy, deposits in the urine, etc. But if you keep the filters right you will have no trouble with your kidneys, James Bridges, living on Third St., Bemidji, Minn,, says: ¢I am so glad to have the opportunity of recommending Doan’s Kidney Pills to others, as I know them to be a reliable remedy. At the time I began their use, 1 was. feeling very miserable, There was a severe pain in the small of my back, the kidney secreticns were dark and unnatural in appearance, and I had great pain while passing them. 1 saw Doan’s Kidney Pills .| highly recommended for such com- plaints and procored a box' at-the Owl Drug Store. They helped me so much that 1 procured a second supply and’ the relief I received was wonderfull. 1'am now entirely free from pain and my kidneys are more normal in action.” e For sale by all dealers.

Last spring the present commission made some gen- eral estimates of the probable cost of the work which resulted in placing it anywhere between $210,000,000 and $250,000,900, but the more conserva: tive members believed the lower figure would prove ultimately correct. Since that time some of the commissioners have found that a considerable saving can be made from the lower estimate which warrants them in placing the estimated cost at nearer $200,000,000 than a higher figure. ALL BEYOND MIDDLE AGE Five Gray Heads Among Jurors In Thaw Case. New York, Jan. 13.—The twelve men who will decide Thaw’s fate are all heyond middle age, there being five gray heads in the jurybox. Ten of them are married, the other two being widowers, and practically all of them are fathers of families. The fact that the jury was finally accepted without the attorneys using up all the peremptory challenges allowed them shows that both the prosecution and the defense are satisfied. The fact that eight days was required to com- plete thie first jury, while the work this time was accomplished in five, is due in some measure to the night ses- slons of the court, which Justice Dow- ling insisted on holding. Americans Murdered in Mexico. Spokane, Wash.,, Jan. 13.—A. C. Coggin of Seattle, state manager of the Loyal Americans; J. W. Vessey and John Peters, wealthy sheepmen of Prosser, left for Durango, Mex., last March to purchase land. They took along about $30,000. No trace of them has been found since last April, though it is known they reached Du- rango. It is suspected they were lost in the moustains or were killed by Indians. Korean Insurgents Surrendering. Tokio, Jan. 13.—Dispatches from Seoul say that in consequence of the promulgation of an edict granting im- munity to insurgents surrendering their arms large numbers are coming in and the country is quieting down. The ex-emperor of Korea intends to visit Japan. Steerage Rates Again Cut. Liverpool, Jan. 13.—The Cunard Steamship company has made a fur- ther reduction of $3.50 in its steerage rates to meet the White Star line’s second cut. The Cunard company has also followed the White Star line in its reduction in the second cabin rates. | Burglars Fire Business House. Muncie, Ind., Jan. 13.—Disappointed at not finding money after they had broken into a grocery store in the business district burglars saturated the place with kerosene, set fire to it and then left.

Bowden, of Little Rock, Ark., has used Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy in his family for many years, and is seldom withoutit in the house.
