Over-Work Weakens
Your Kidneys.
Onbealttij KtJncys Make Impure Blood.
All the b'cvQ in your body passes through
your kidn'ys ^'.cc every three minutes.
The kiuneys 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.
Pairs, aches and rheu-
matum come from ex
cess of uric acid in the
blood, due to neglected
kidney tr -oble.
Kidney Mcub.e causes quick or unsteady
heart beats, -md makes one feel as though
they had heart trouble, because the heart is
over-working :n pumping thick, kidney-
pcisoned bio:d through veins and arteries.
I. used to be .onsidered that only urinary
troubles were to be traced to the kidneys,
but now modern science proves that nearly
all constitutional dise,ases have their begin
ning ; n 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
Swanip«Rnot, the grea t kidney remedy is
scon realized, it stands the highest for its
woncerfi louies of the most distressing cases

On
Forty-seven and One-half Aoree In
Each Tract Awarded In Irrigation
Project Near Billings, Mont.—Canals
Thirty-five Milee Long.
The apportioning of irrigated lands
at Billingo, Mont., the other day was
the first of the sort held under the
reclamation act, says the Kansas City
Star. It was not. as many persons
may suppose, a free distribution of
farms. It was an opportunity preseut-
ed by the government to buy land
through which a system of finely built
irrigation < dies or flumes with ce
ment and steel leeks and gates had
been constructed by competent en
gineers. These th .gs cost large sums
and they must be 4 dd for by the men
who file upon the fa. ’s. Approximate
ly the cost will be something more
than $l,f»50 in installments for farms
of forty-seven and one-half acres each.
This cost is very reasonable when the
fa< t is cons dered that the water sup
ply for the future, or .bile the Yellow
stone river continues t 1 run. Is assured
by the government. The soil assures
the crops. Several men In Kansas City
drew farms in the new district.
In apportioning the Irud the govern
ment officials thorougl ly mixed the
thousands of envelopes containing the
names of applicants and took 1,500
from the many. Of these 1,5<M> the
first 031 were entitled to file entries on
farms in the order in w. ich their en
velopes were numbered. The farms
contain an average of forty-seven and
one-half acres, which, experience has
shown, is about all that any ordinary
farmer can cultivate by irrigation.
Forty acres are said to be nough.
Ail persons who lile 011 the irrigation
farms are required to pay the laud
offi' e fee. a “building” charge of $30
an acre, to help defray the cost of
building canals, locks and oilier parts
of the system: a maintenance charge of
GO cents an acre until further notice
and a charge of $4 an acre for the land
to he paid to the Crow Indians.
These payments must be made as
follows: At the time of entry each ap
plicant must pay to the receiver of the
Billings land office the usual fees and
commissions and $1 of the Indian pur
chase price for each acre entered and,
in addition, $3 on account of the build
ing charge and <50 cents as operating
and maintenance charges for each Ir
rigable acre embraced In his entry,
and thereafter he must pay on the In
dian pui' liase price 7~> cents annually
for four years, beginning with the end
of the second year, for each acre em
braced in his entry, and In addition
thereto Ik; must, in accordance with
notices issued by the secretary of the
Interior, pay annually for each irriga
ble acre < 1 raced in his entry not less
than $3 • account of the building
charge and such sum as may from
time to ti .:e be fixed as charges for
operation a cl maintenance. The build
ing charge -T >30 an acre may is; paid
in not less than four or more than
nine annual installments, in addition
to the payment made at the time of
entry. This makes the farms cost
$1,500 or $1,000 each.
The land acquired in the drawing is
known as the Huntley reclamation
project It is a part of the old Crow
Indian reservation ceded to the gov
ernment. ritimately the project will
provide Irrigation for about 32,000
acres of arid land !.\ ing south of the
Yellowstone river and extending from
Huntley to Bull Mountain station on
the Northern 1’aclflc railway. The
tract is from two to four miles wide
and nearly thirty miles long.
The junction of the Chicago, Burling
ton and tpilncy with the Northern Pa
cific is at Huntley, at the west end of
the Irrigable land, and both railroads
extend through the lauds in such a
way as to give excellent railroad fa
cilities.
The reclamation service planned the
irrigation system so that water Is to
be delivered to practically every farm
on the 32,000 acres. The main canal
Is built to divert 400 cubic feet a sec
ond from the Yellowstone river about
two miles west of Huntley. For the
first two miles the canal is carried
along the Huntley bluffs and approxi
mately parallel to the Northern Pacific
tracks. This location requires several
sections of concrete lined canal and
three tunnels, also lined with concrete
and aggregating 2.G50 feet In length.
The first tunnel, 700 feet long, carries
the water from the headgates under
the Northern Pacific railway.
The main canal Is being built under
present contracts to a length of twenty-
three and one-half miles and can be
extended about eight miles farther
when conditions Justify the expendi
ture. The structures on the main ca*
nal, such as culverts, wastegates, sy
phons, bridges and the headgates, are
of concrete and st ,, el construction and
very substaut'al. The turnouta, cul
verts and flumes on the lateral system
are well built of wood.
The soils vary from a fine sandy
loam to a heavy clay. There la a pre
ponderance of clay and clay loam soli.
Some of theac are strongly impregnat
ed with alkali and most of them are
underlaid with gravel. The waste
water ditches are laid oat so as to pre
vent the else of alkali on the lands.
Here Is a table prepared by I. D.
O’Donnell of Billings, Mont, to show

CLOUD PIERCING BUILDINGS.
Architect’s Prediction of Skyscrapers
One Thousand Feet High.
• The time of the thousand foot tall
skyscraper in this country is so near
that it is no joke.” declared Architect
Henry llorubostel, who has planned
the forty story tower addition to the
Allegheny county (Pa.; court ho#kc,
which is to la; 700 feet high, the
other night in an address before the
Pittsburg board of trade, says the
Pittsburg Dispatch. “I believe that the
time will come within the next twenty
years when we will : ee buildings at
least a thousand feet high in this coun
try. They will be located in our larger
cities, of course, for there the neces
sity of concentration in business is
most pronounced.”
Mr. Hornbostel, explaining his forty
story tower plan, said that the office
building was distinctively an Ameri
can idea, which grew from the neces
sity of concentration of business and
the increasing realty values.
Mr. Hornbostel spok<- of the econom
ical feature of the tower as an induce
ment. The tower would cost, he said,
from $2,0< NJJJOO to $2,500,000, while the
cost of another building across Dia
mond street from the present court
house, including the cost of the site,
would l>e at least $4,000,000 and possi
bly more.
The tower would be 70 by 70 feet at
the base. Above the roof of the present
building the size of the tower would
increase to bo by 80 feet for several
stories. In this Increased space ten or
twelve courtrooms are planned. Above
the courtrooms to tin* clock near the
top of the tower are to l»e offices, with
the top of the tower ornamental.
Mr. Hornbostel said the tower would
not la- affected even by a l»olt of
lightning, as the electricity would be
consumed by the steel structure, and
that the building would stand tremen
dous wind pressure, estimating that it
would take ”G(> miles of wind a minute
to dangerously affect it.
AFTER A MILE OF CENTS.
Kanaaa Methodists Will Raise a Mort
gage In That Way.
The Ladies’ Aid society of the Metho
dist church at Lakin, Kan., have com
pleted a novel plan of raising money
with which io liquidate a mortgage,
says a Topeka (Kan.; special dispatch
to tin* New York Times. Tin* oVect
;> to gain r a mile of cents. ! to do
this there was given to each member a
narrow strip of paper a foot in length.
Each foot will hold just 10 cents.
It is calculated that when the mile
or cents is received the sum of $M4.4S
will have been raised, the exact amount
of the interest and principal of the
mortgage at this time.
The Lakin women have figured out
that it takes ju^t s l,14S cents to make
a mile if they are laid in a row.
Woman Rai way Grader..

AGREE NOT TO ELOPE
Young Kansas Sweethearts In a
Queer Contract.
SEQUEL OF AN ELOPEMENT.
George W. Roberts of Pawnee County,
Kan., Agrees to Give His Daughter
In Marriage to J. A. Morgan In Two
Years if Thay Won’t Run Away.
Suitor Determined to Win His Bride.
On consideration that J. A. Morgan
will refrain for two years from trying
to elope with Miss Stella Roberts,
George W. Roberts, a Pawnee county
farmer in Kansas, father of the girl,
has signed an agreement with the
young man promising to give him the
young woman in marriage at the end
of that time, writes a Lamed (Kan.)
correspondent of the Kansas City Star.
This most unusual agreement is as fol
lows :
“George W. Roberts and J. A. Mor
gan enter into the following agree
ment, to wit: The said J. A. Morgan
agrees to engage In some legitimate
and profitable employment for the pe
riod of two years from this date and
for the said time not to interfere with
the said George W. Roberts in the
management of his daughter, Stella A.
Roberts. George W. Roberts, In con
sideration of the carrying out of the
foregoing agreement hy the said J. A.
Morgan, hereby gives his consent for
his said daughter and the said J. A.
Morgan to enter into the bonds of
matrimony at any time after the ex
piration of tin* said two years.”
The agreement Is duly signed by
Morgan and Roberts and witnessed by
H. S. R* igers and Wesley Lane. This
queer contraet is the sequel of an
elopement which occurred several days
ago. Miss Roberts is not yet quite
fifteen years old. Morgan is less than
twenty, so that the two knew that
they could not obtain the consent of
her parents to their marriage.
Knowing tills, they decided upon an
elopement. After all the family had
gone to bed Miss Rolierts slipped out
of the house and m ;t Morgan in a
grove a quarter of a mile away.
The two drove to Macksville. return
ed their livery team and then got a
man to drive them to Stafford. From
there they took a train to Morgan s
home in Carthage, Mo.
There was consternation in the Rob
erts home the next morning, but the
liveryman gave the father a clew, and
a warrant was secured for Morgan
charging him with abduction. He was
arrested in Carthage before he could
secure a marriage license and readily
agreed to return to Kansas.
In the meantime Mr. Roberts had
been making some inquiries and learn
ed that Morgan was a hard working
young man of good family and would
apparently make a very acceptable son-
in-law. '!1iis induced the father not to
prosecute tin* young max and to pro-
po-e tin* agreement wlii'li was after-
j ward entered into. Miss Roberts is
' again at home, and Morgan is hack at
work on the Brown farm nearby, de
termined to live up to the contract.

speech advised the newspaper editors ot

Brinas in her latest poems and sits down
and reads them o’er?
And suppose some old subscriber brings a
column letter in,
And in trying to unroll It you are skew
ered with a pin?
Please tell us. Mr. President, among such
dread kill joys.
Just how is any editor to keep his mental
poise?
Suppose a cub reporter has stirred up the
office ire
B, falling down completely on the story
i of a fire?
Or Wome compbsitor has knocked an arti-
T ele sky high
By carefully Inserting there a line of
printer's "pi?"
Suppose a wreck or war breaks loose and
£hftto there is none—
The editor's “official” was not there with
hia gun.
While his hated rival’s picture man was
Johnny-on-the-Spotr-
How’s an editor to hold himself from
writing things red hot?
Suppose the umpire from our team has
stolen one whole game.
And the sporting editor aits down to cal)
that ump. a name;
Do you think he’s going to seek a term
of mild and soft reproof.
Or will he Jump upon the man with spikes
in verbal hoof?
But these are Just a few small things
that drive the press man wild;
There are others where It can't be hoped
he’ll draw hia language mild.
But still, to w< rds Intemperate he’ll atriva
ne’er to give vent
And ha as mild a critic as—wall, say our

An Elephant Ferry.
One of the strangest ferries in the
world is to lie found in India, A Hin
doo chanced to save the life of a prince
and as a reward received one of the
largest elephants in Ihe royal (stable.*.
But tiiii honor caused the recipient
much i.uxlety, as he animal’s appetite
was to* 1 great for his owner to satisfy.
The Hindoos’ lions’, stood near a turn
in the river, where many person*
crossed, and as the stream was at
times a raging flood, boats and men
were often carried out of their course.
Ou one occasion when the elephant
was bathing in the river, it suddenly
occurred to the owner to use the ani
mal as a ferryboat. A harness was
made for the elephant, with a long
roja; as a trace, which was fastened to
a heavy Isiat. The latter, loaded with
passengers, was successfully towed
over the river, and since that time the
animal has been a source of profit to
bis owner.
Munich Exhibition Novelty.

will resemble the Greek theaters of
old. The form of the stage will be
changed, “cutting off,” according to a
Munich paper, “the senseless perspec
tive.” The proscenium will be so ar
ranged that it may he made large or

Faying High For American Talent.
■The British government has recently

and animal Industry for British India,
says the Springfield Republican. Pro
feasor Barr will receive a salary of
$10,000 a year for ten yean, and It la
understood that be will then be eligi

life of $5,000 a year. It la not often
that a scientific agricultural education

Life on 8t. Kilda.
The medical inspector who recently
visited the lonely island of Ht. Kilda
sends to the Scotsman some particu
lars of the life led hy the residents
there. This is what he says about the
Sunday sermon in church:
“No hymn books are used and no in
struments of music. When the psalm
had b<4*u rend over the precentor arose,
and I confess to Jumping in my seat
as he led off the first line with a yell.
Then followed a rush of sound from
the congregation like the shriek of a
storm. The notes of the first line were
recognizable as from the Scottish
Psalmody. The seo*ond was ornament
ed with grace notes, such as Highland
pi tiers love. The rest was mere con
fusion.”
Still, the writer adds, ont of this
massed unloveliness one could distin
guish good voices, which only required
some training to be tuneful and pleas
ing.
How a Poet Thinks.
In a recent lecture on Victor Hugo.
Jean Rlcbepin declared that when a
lyric poet thinks of a word there comes
into his mind, together with the crowd
of association* that the word awakens
for other people, a great nomlier of
words that rhyme with the oue first
thought of. Each of these brings its
own association of Ideas, and thus the
poet's mental vision of words Is vastly
richer than that of persons who think
of them only in their ordinary Individ-
nal meanings. M. KP-bepiu. himself a
poet, believes also that the sound and
accent of words are always vlrldlf
present In the poet’s mind.

which pick round holes in the bark of
trees, making them look like the imt-
tom of an old style colander.
The redheaded woodpecker made sad
havoc in ids sap orchard, dlggin holes
In bf* best maples and impairing the
flow of sap. from which much of ids
living was derived. It was impossible
to ki!l the birds because of the com
pany they arTorded. and it was equally
Iiiip'Hsihlc to live without the Income
from the sap orchard. The old man
spent week.* in ids grove watching the
result of the wounds which the birds
Inflicted <»n the bark.
As the scars healed he noticed that
there was a bright red spot left on the
wood directly below the wound. If the
tree was badly marked the red spots
were more numerous than they were
on trees whi'di had suffered ic*s. while
ou trees which the woodpeckers had
not visited there were no traces of red.
About this time It occurred to him
that ns the iieautiful markings of the
hlrdseye maple were due to the red
spots in the wood and as nobody had
ever lieeu aide to account for them it
was possible that the variety of maple
known as hlrdseye might owe its ori
gin to the work of the woodpeckers.
If so he had made ft discovery that had
baffled iiotanlsts for years. He had
also learned how to make his colony of
tame woodpeckers self supporting.

Year®.
G. B. Burhans, of Carlisle Center,
N. Y., writes: “About four years
ago I wrote you stating that. I had
been entirely cured of a severe kid
ney trouble by taking lesg tba n two
bottles of Foley’s Kidney Cure. It
entirely stopped the brick dust sedi
ment, and pain and symptoms of kid
ney dlseas e disappeared. I am glad
to say that I have never had a re
turn of any of those symptoms during
the four years that have elapsed and
I am evidently cured to stay cured,
and heartily recommend Foley'g Kid
