Collector Stratton immediately re-
ported to Washington the observations
of the inspector, giving them his offi-
cial approval.
Inspector Bulger was accompanied
on board the Lena by Paul Kesaka*
vitch, Russian Consul at this point.
Both the Russian and Jepane.se Con-
sul held consultations to-day with Col-
lector Stratton. but nothing of what
transpired has been given out.
The collector has forwarded to
Washington full reports of what he
has done in the matter.
The impression prevails among
those best informed that, the Lena will
be dismantled and remain here until
the end of the war. She is still guard-
ed by several vessels of the United
States Navy.
Washington: The whole matter
was turned over to the President
Tuesday, and an immediate investiga- i <" ;«r ion

The Cost of Living.

Chronicle has discovered Mr. Wright's

j "the standard of living is better" than
was i few years ago. Since the

hundreds of other trusts have ad-
vanced prices to the top notch, the

Knowledge of all these sins of the
Republican party is finding lodgment
in the hearts of many voters and they
have determined on a change, rpon
the surface of the political field all is
still and serene, but there are mutter-
ings in the homes of the farmers, the
cottages of the artisan and the tene-
ments of the laboring men that bodes
ill for the Republican candidates. The
still small voice of reason is working
more changes of sentiment than the
lured and blatant notes of the trust
apologist can overcome, blare he
never so loudly, and there is a quiet
determination to "turn the rascals
out."

That the Roosevelt-Odell machine in

The Republicans admit the in-
j en ased cost of running the govern-
ment under the present extravagant
administration, but claim that it is
necessary, as the growth of the coun-
try demands it. But the cost per cap-
ita should not increase faster than the
population increases, as it should be
relatively cheaper to run an eighty-
million country than one with forty
millions of people, but the cost is
increasing at a much greater ratio
than the population, which shows ex-
travagance and waste of the people's
money.
The news from Oyster Bay is of a
very contradictory character. It is
given out daily that President Roose-
velt will not interfere in New York
politics, in the same breath it is de-
clared that about all the leading poli-
ticians have been invited to come
and "talk it over."
Another conccntrado order has been
issued by'Gov. Wright in the Philip-
pines, and yet President Roosevelt
tells us that everything is moving
along peacefully there. If old Gen.
Weyler were alive now he would laugh
at oui efforts and our adoption of his
Cuban system of "benevolent assimi-
lation."

Odd Facts Abcut Color.
Did you ever notice that there is no
blue food? We eat things green, red,
yellow and violet; flesh, fish or plants
in all the colors of the rainbow except
blue.
Many deadly poisons are blr.e in col-
or, such as Milestone or the deadly
nightshade flower. The color stands in
our slang for everything miserable
and depressing.
Heat a bar of iron and the particles
of the metal aro set In motion, shak-
ing violently one against another.
Presently the surrounding ether is
set in motion in large, slow waves
through the air, like the waves of tho
rea, until they break upon our skin
and give us the sensation of heat. As
the iron gets hotter other waves are
set in motion in immense numbers,
traveling at more than lightning
speed, and these break upon the eye,
giving U3 the sensation of red light.
The redhot iron, getting still more
heated, throws out other sets of
waves, stili smaller and more rapid—
orange, yello.v, green, blue, Indigo,
violet, all tho colors of the rainbow.
Tho eye cannot tell one from another;
the whole bundle of rays mixed up
gives us an impression of white That
is the glow from white hot iron, and
such is the light from the still great-
er brightness of the sun. Sunlight is
a bundle of rays of light - red, orange,
yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet
all mixed together. The mixture »f
all colors is white light. The absence
of all color is utter darkness.—Xew

Man and Wife.
Buxton, N. Dak., Sept. 12 (Special).
■•-Mr. B. U Skrivseth of this place
has been added to tho steadily grow-
ing following that Dodd's Kidney
Pills have in this part of the country.
Mr. Skrivseth gives two reasons
for his faith in the Great American
Kidney Cure. The first is that they
cured his wife and the second Is that
they cured himself.
"I must say," says Mr. Skrivseth,
"that Dodd's Kidney Pills are the
best remedy for Kidney Trouble I
ever knew. My wife had Kidney Dis-
ease for years and she tried all kinds
of medicine from doctors but it did
not help her any. An advertisement
led her to try Dodd's Kidney Pills.
The first box helped her so much
that she took eight boxes more and
now sho is cured.
"I also took three boxes myself
and they made me feel better and
stronger in every way."
Dodd's Kidney Pills have never yet
failed to cure any kidney disease
from Backache to Rheumatism, Dia-
betes or liriglit's Disease.
Wire Fences and Lightning.
Since the use of wire fences has be-
come so extensive the number of cat-
tle killed each year by lightning has
greatly increased. Farmers' Insurance
companies have Investigated the mat-
ter and now come forward with a
warning to policy holders. Nearly all
of the cattle killed by lightning have
met their death in open fields, where
in many instances there was not, even
a tree to attract the electric fluid. As
many dead cattle were found near wire
fences this le.:l to the discovery that
the lightning was carried. along the
wires composing the fences. During
a severe storm cattle are liable to run
until Stopped by a fence. Here they,
stand "huddled together ready for the
bolt. A remedy is suggested in fun-
ning a ground wire every ten rods sev-
eral feet into the earth.
Broken Bones Bolted.
Dr. Stephen H. Watts, assistant res-
ident surgeon at the Johns Hopkins
hospital, Baltimore, has devised a
method of Joining broken bones that
is attracting wide interest among sur- <
geons. His device consists of a silver
bolt and nut and is simplicity itself.
The fractured bone is exposed and the
broken ends are mortised just as a
carpenter mortises the ends of iwo
pieces of wood he desires to join.
Then a small hole is drilled through
the joint thus made and a silver bolt
is inserted. When the nut is screwed
down tho Joint is immovable and the
natural knitting of the bone may pro-
ceed without the interruption usually
caused by change in position and lack
of rigidity.
WHAT'S THE USE
To Keep a "Coffee Complexion."
A lady says: "Postum has helped
my complexion bo much that my
fi lends say I am growing you^it-1 again.
My complexion used to be cotfee col-
ored, muddy and yellow but it is nj^A,
clear and rosy as when I was a fV
I was induced to try Postum I'J a
friend w ho had suffered just us I had
suffered from terrible indigestion, pal'
p-tation of the heart and sinking
spells.
"After I had used Postum a week
I was so much better that I was
afraid it would not last. But now
two years hava passed and I am a
well woman. I owe it all to leaving
off coffee and drinking Postum in its
place.
"I had drank coffee all my life. I
suspected that It was the cause of my
trouble, but It va? not until I actually
quit coffoo and started to try Postum
that I became certain; then all my J
trouble* ceased and I am now well
and strung again." Name furnished
by Postum Co.. Battle Creek, Mich.
There's a reason.
