There Is more Catarrh in this sec
tion of the country than all other dis
eases put together, and until the I
last few years was supposed to be in- ,
curable. For a great many years doc [
tors prouounced it a local disease an
prescribed local remedies, and by con
stantly failing to cure with local treat
ment, pronounced it incurable. Scienc
has proven catarrh to be a constitu- :
tional disease and therefore requires
constitutional treatment. Hall's Ca
tarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J.
Cheney & Co.. Toledo, Ohio, is the
only constitutional cure on the mar
ket. It is taken internally in doses
from 10 drops to a teaspoonful. It
acts directly on the blood and mucou
surfaces of the system. They offer I
one hundred dollars for any case it
fails to cure. Send for circulars and 1
testimonials.

fron the kidney secretions. They will
warn you when the kidneys are sick.
Well kidneys excrete a clear, amber
fluid. Sick kidneys send out a thin,
pale and foamy, or a thick, red, ill
smelling urine, full of sediment and
irregular of passage.
DANGER SIGNAL NO. 2 comes
from the back. Back pains, dull and
heavy, or sharp and acute, tell you of
sick kidneys and warn you of the ap

Bright's disease. Doan's Kidney Pills
cure sick kidneys and cure them per
manently.
Theodore Josephson, 515 Seventh
St., Astoria, Oregon, says: "About
five years ago I used Doan's Kidney
Pills and derived great benefit. At
that time I was suffering from se
vere pains across my back and loins, '
at times so severe that I was unable j
to stoop or straighten. My kidneys
also bothered me a great deal, the se
cretions generally being too frequent
| in passage. At last Doan's Kidney |
| Pills were brought to my attention
and I procured a box. I used them
and as a result my health is now ex
cellent. I take a few doses of Doan's
Kidney Pills now and then, when
feeling any sign of backache and they
never fail to banish the trouble."

which is a post from which a man
may wield quite an extensive Influence.

confirm the appointment.

passengers, for those who have pood
less will "foot it" when they take a
notion to journey from New York to
San Francisco. Mr. Weston has been
advocating walking as tlio l>est means
of Raining and keeping health ever
since he was a boy. He was born Hi
Providence, It. I., March 15, 1S39. and
at threescore and ten is able to under
take it tramp that few young meu
would think themselves fit to finish.
But lie was not a very vigorous youth,
lie took up walking in order to benefit
his health. It agreed with him so well
that he made more or less of a voca
tion of It. At twenty-two he walked
from Boston to Washington to witness
the first inauguration of Abraham Lin
coln. That was quite a stunt for those
lays, lie made the 453 miles in -08
hours. It was in 1SC7- that he walked
from Portland, Xfe., to Chicago and by
this performance won International rep
utation as a pedestrian. lie made the
trip in 2.1 days and 23 hours, and when
in 11)07, forty years later, he proposed i
to repeat the performance there were
inany who doubted whether he could
make good. He not only did as well
as when he was a comparative youth
of twenty-nine, but he reached Chicago j
ahead of schedule time and beat his |
former record by nearly twenty-eight
hours.
It was supposed that Weston would
be satisfied with the record he made on
his second walk from Portland to Chi
cago and retire on these laurels, but a
little while ago he announced that with
the arrival of his seventieth birthday,
on March 15, he would start out on a
walk to San Francisco. The old man's
grit has uaturally won him many ad
mirers, and the feat that he Is now un
dertaking is the occasion of wide and
eager interest. It Is expected that
across continent walks will soon be al
most as much a fad ai Marathon runs.
The President of the
United Mine Workers,
Thomas L. Lewis? Knox's
Successor In Senate
Since John Mitchell retired from the
presidency of the United Mine Work
ers of America the responsibility of
looking out for the interests of the
union coal miners has fallen upon
Thomas L. Lewis, and he has been
much In the eye recently In connection
with the negotiations between opera
tors and miners.
Mr. Lewis was chosen Mr. Mitchell's
successor nbout a year ago and before
then had served several years as vice
president of the miners' organization.
Ex-President Roosevelt appointed him
receutly an ex officio member of the
national board which Is to investigate j
mining disasters. At the age of forty- j
two Mr. Lewis Is Icndiug one of the
strongest labor organizations In the
world. He Is a native of Midway, Ph.. !
THOMAS L. ^EWIS.
ami is second to the eldest of eight
brothers, four of whom have won na
tional prominence through connections
with labor, and the others, still young, j
hold positions in labor unions. All of |
the eight brothers, sons of a Welsh
miner, began work in t lie mines before
reaching ten vears of age. While Tom
was still in his teens his father died. I
and bis widowed mother and younger
brothers and two sisters were depend- ;
ent more or less upon the efforts of !
himself and his elder brother. Not- 1
withstanding the various heavy bur- j
dens upon him young Lewis found
time to educate himself through stud}
at night and reading on economic sub- ;
jects. His lirst work as a labor organ
izer was In the Knights of Labor. His 1
elder brother, W. T. Lewis, was state
labor commissioner of Ohio under Gov
ernor McKinley, and he employed him
In gathering statistics for his depart
ment. In lS'Jt; he was elected secreta
ry-treasurer of the Ohio Mine Work
ers and two years later a vice presl
dent of the national organization.
As a national lawmaker Senator
George T. Oliver of Pennsylvania is
about the newest of the group of sen
ators who are specially in the public
eye on account of their newness, for he
has just been selected for the scat va- !
cated by Philander Chase Knox when
the latter became premier of the cab
inet. More than ordinary Interest at
taches to the personality of Mr. Oliver
on account of his stepping into the
shoes of so eminent a statesman as j
Mr. Knox is recognized to be. Not
withstanding the Influence wielded by
his predecessor In the councils of the
senate and of the nation Mr. Oliver
himself will have to take a back seat
for awhile, in accordance with senate
precedents, unless, like Senators La
Toilette and Gore and Jefferson Pa vis,
lie Insists on being heard, 110 matter
what traditions are smashed.
Mr. Oliver, who was born in Tyrone,
Ireland, in 184S, while Ids father and
mother, who were native Irish, were

on a visit to Ireland, received almost ? j
unanimous vote In the caucus of the
Republican members of the Pennsyl
vania legislature. - In placing him in
nomination before the caucus StaU
Senntor Joseph A. Langfitt said:
"He whom I name is a lawyer, :
manufacturer and an editor and i
every vocation successful to a degreo.
He is a college man, with ten years it

uess; twenty years In the manufacture
of iron and steel, among the. industrial
plants In the city often termed the
'workshop of the world,' holdiug his
own and more with the fiirewdcst and
brainiest of them all."
