i PRESCRIPTION IS SAID T0 GURE RHEUMATISM Fine Home Recipe to Relieve Rheuma- tism and Kidney Trouble Promptly. Alarge New York health publi- cation tells its readers of a number of simple and safe prescriptions that can be made at home. The following however, for the cure ot rheumatism and kidney and bladder troubles receive the greatest praise, viz., Fluid Extract Dandelion one- half ounce; Compound Kargon, one ounce; Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla three ounces. These simple harm- less indredients can be obtained at any good prescription pharmacy at little cost and are mixed by shaking well in a bottle. The dose for adults is a teaspoon- ful after each meal and at bed- time, drinking a tumblerfull of water after each dose. 1t is further stated that this prescription is a positive remedy for kidney trouble and lame back, weak bladder and urinary difficulties, especially of the elderly people, and one of the best things to be used in rheumatic afflictions, relieving the aches and pains and reducing swellings. A well-known local druggist states that this mixture acts directly upon the eliminative tissues of the kid- neys; cleanses these sponge-like organs and gives them power to sift and strain the poisonous waste matter and uric acid from the blood which is the cause of rheu- matism. Cut this out and hand to some sufferer which would certainly be a act of humanity. Thousand Girls in Panic.

Kaiser, who seems to have the undivided support of the newspapers of the northern tier counties for congressional del- egate from the Ninth Congressional district to the National Convention to be held at Chicago next June, was in the city Wednesday between trains. Mr. Kaiser is a republican of the old school. For years he boosted for the good of the party as editor and publisher of the Thirteen Towns and never has been found a backnumber when it came to do any- thing that would help advance the interests of the party. Here’s to the success of Kaiser and the good advertising he will do for Northern Minnesota at the convention. (OBSERVATIONS. [By “Doc"] THE MORNING AFTER. Wild oats, my son, are sown at night. But be it plainly understood That in the next morn’s pearly light They do not make good breakfast;food. The kaiser ought to confine his future correspondence with Lord Tweedmouth to picture post cards. The naval experts, like the proverbial doctors, disagree, and there remains nothing for us to do but to go to war to prove the truth. The Chicago Woman'’s Club favors high school courses in shopping. If the boys are forced to go along and hold the bundles we foresee a terrible increase in truancy. Children have no appreciation of the weather. A number of girls wanted to skip yesterday, whereas grownups would prefer to have skipped a few days of winter. First they get us stired up about John D. Rockfeller’s pa, and now they’re making a fuss over Mrs. Gould’s. Well, thank’s be, anyhow, that we are getting father and father away from the present genera- tion. An enthusiastic Californian de- clares “the common idea that it takes money to go to California” is erroneous, and he expects the cruise of the fleet will disclose this. Uncle Sam will have some difficulty in fol- lowing the gentleman’s reasoning. Out on Sympathetic Strike. St. Louls, March 17.—Nearly 800 beer bottlers and handlers of the An- heuser-Busch brewery have struck in sympathy with the 450 brewery wagon drivers who refused to secure mem.- bership cards in a certain union and were disckarzed from varlous brewer- Again Il Vienna, March 17.—Emperor Fran- cis Joseph, who has been confined to his rooms in Scheenbrunn castle for several days sufiel from a cold in the head, passed a satisfactory night.

FACES FLODD DAMAGE Entire Pacific Northwest Suffer- ing From High Water, UNUSUALLY HEAVY RAINS Bridges Out, Railroad Tracks Under Water and Huge Landslides Occur. Every Rivulet a Roaring Torrent and Every River a Lake. » Portland, Ore.,, March 17.—Not in many a year have so many points in the Pacific Northwest all at the same time faced such serious damage from flood as at present. From last Friday until now heavy rains have fallen over the whole of the Northwest and every rivulet is a roaring torrent and every river a lake. Bridges have been washed out or dynamited, railroad tracks are under water and when traffic is not delayed by these disas- ters huge landslides block the way. The most serious reports come from ‘Walla Walla. Mill creek, which flows through that city, nearly every winter ! e 4 § ; | of Premier Sir Henry Campbell-Ban- goes on a rampage, but at present it is outdoing previous records and has caused wholesale destruction of busi- ness jn general. Next in point of seriousness is the situation at Pendleton. Although the levees built after last year’s floods are still holding there is fear that they are becoming undermined. In this case the town will suffer serious damage. Tracks Out and Bridges Gone. In the Lewiston (Ida.) country rail- road tracks are reported under water, bridges washed out and fears are en- tertained that the waterworks which supply that city will be flooded and the supply of drinking water shut off. Many families have been driven from the lowlands. The Touchet and Patit rivers have washed out the city dyke at Dayton, Wash. As is usual during the flood condi- tions the railroads are numbered among the principal sufferers. The worst of these is the Oregon Railroad and Navigation company, which has not been able to send a train through for the past thirty-six hours. This road is blocked principally by heavy landslides east and west of Pendleton. Train service in the nelghborhood of Walla Walla and from Lewiston north is at a standstill. The Northern Pacific and Great Northern are almost entirely out of the flood districts, though the North- ern Pacific suffered to some extent from slides in the western part of ‘Washington. Senator Whyte Seriously Il Baltimore, March 17.—Senator Will- jam Pinckney Whyte, who is ill of erysipelas, 18 reported as having passed a restful night and to be feel- ing “quite comfortable.” The senator’s {liness, while not regarded as critical, s somewhat alarming because of the senator’s advanced age. He is eighty- two years old. Another Banker Arrested. New York, March 17.—Daniel Leroy Dresser, who was president of the Trust Company of the Republic, which went into liquidation several years ago, has been arrested on a warrant charging him with misappropriation of $4,000. He was arraigned in court end paroled in the custody of his tounsel. Preparing for Coal Strike. Chicago, March 17.—Coal in huge quantities is being stored by the rail roads and by dealers in Chicago who have contracts for supplying big es- tablishments. The incentive is the possibility of a strike among the bi- tuminous miners in the next three months. TERMS OF SETTLEMENT. China Agrees to Jap Demands in Tatsu Maru Case. «Peking, March 17.—The full terms under which the case of the Tatsu Maru, the: Japanese steamer that was seized by China in February on the allegation that she was conveying arms and ammunition to the Chinese revolutionists, has been settled are as follows: First—China agrees to punish the officers who, lowered the Japanese flag on the Tatsu Maru and to send a war- ship to the place where the vessel was seized to fire a salute as the Japa- nese flag is rehoisted. Second—The Tatsu Maru is to be released at once. Third—China will purchase the arms and ammunition seized. Fourth—She will punish the officers who committed this breach against in- ternational usage. Fifth—The viceroy of Canton will settle the amount of demurrage for the retention of the steamer after con- sultation with the Japanese consul and, finally, Japan agrees to exercise extra vigilance against her subjects in the matter of smuggling arms intc China. Will Never Resume Leadership. London, March 17.—The condition nerman is causing a renewal of the anxiety concerning his health. It is recognized by the premier’s friends that he never again will be a strong man and all idea that he might re- sume active leadership in the house of commons now has been abandoned. PLEADS SELIE-DEFENSE. Woodsman Confesses to Killing Wis- consin Homesteader. ’ Marinette, Wis.,, March 17.—Paul Keania, a woodsman, who was lodged in jail at Florence in January charged with murdering Patrick Campbell, a homesteader, has made a confession in which he admits shooting Campbell. Kania says he was looking for work and applied at Campbell’s shanty for a night’s lodging. Campbell refused to shelter him and later came out of his shanty carrying a lantern and a revolver. According to Kania’s story Campbell ordered him away and at the same time fired a shot at him. Kania then raised his gun and re- turned the shot, fatally wounding Campbell. A fellow homesteader found Campbell; in a dying condition and made an effort to bring him to Florence for medical treatment, but he died on the way. Kania says he did not intend to kill Campbell. Judge Lochren Will Retire. Bt. Paul, March 17.—Judge Willlam Lochren, who has served on the state and federal benches for the past twen- ty-four years, having been judge of the United States district court for half that time, has announced his in- tention of retiring at the end of this month. For several years the health of the venerable jurist has been fail- ing and there have been rumors at different times that he intended to retire from the bench, but previously they have always been denied by the judge. Newly Married Couple Suicides. Dyersburg, Tenn., March 17.—James R. Harrison and Mrs. Ora Ferguson Harrison are both dead here by their own hands. The couple were married two weeks ago. Mrs. Harrison on Thursday last shot herself through the lung. No cause was assigned for her act.
