PfWAT BAKING 1\U I Jt\JLf POWDER ABSOLUTELY PURE A WESTERN WORLD'S FAIR. Lewis and Clark Exposition Ncaring Completions-Will be Ready on Time. BY PRANK L. MERKICK. Portland, Ohk. ? Work on the grounds and buildings of the Lewis and Clark Exposition, which will he held at Portland, Oregon, this summer, open ing June 1 and closing October 15, is progressing rapidly. Eight exhibit buildings have been completed and the installation of exhibits begun, while the remaining structures are ncaring the stage where the finishing touches will be applied. The mild Oregon win ter has permitted the work to progress without an interruption and when the President presses the button on open ing day everything will be ready and - waiting?something unusual in exposi tions. Not only are the buildings far advanc ed, butthc landscape picture also. The grass is green and roses bloom in the open air all the year round in Portland. Thousands of rose bushes have been set out on the lawns and terraces, and these kept fresli by the winter rains,? Oregon knows no frost bites nor sun strokes?are awaiting the spring sun shine to bring forth a riot of color. All the main exposition structures are in the style of the Spanish Renaissance except the Forestry building, which is a true American type, being construct ed of huge logs in their virgin state, thus exemplifying in its composition, <L the timber resources of the Columbia " river region. The structure is 200 feet \ in length by 102 feet in width and its I extreme height is 70. In its construc r tion two miles of five and six foot fir logs, eight miles of poles and tons of shakes and cedar shingles were used. The railroads have r.iade exceptionally low rates to Portlan.1 for the Western World's Pair and many people in the East and Middle West are expected to take advantage of them to see the great Pacific Northwest. NATURE TELLS VOU. As Many a I.aureus Reader Knows Too Well. When the kidneys are sick, Nature tells you all about it. The urine is nature's calendar. Infrequent or too frequent action; Any urinary trouble tells of kidney ills. Uoan's Kidney Pills cure all kidney ills, Laurens people testify to this. Robert Sexton, wheelwright and blacksmith of 202 Laurens Street, says: "I can recommend Doan's Kidney Pdls for what they did for me. They cured me of a very severe case of backache from which I bad suffered greatly and could find no relief. A nasty dull ach ing across the loins bothered me day and night, and when through with the cares of the day to go to bed and get a good night's sleep was something I had not been able to do for a long time.? The secretions from the kidneys gave me trouble, were dark colored, strong and full of sediment and disturbed my rest at night on account of their too frequent action. I used numerous medi cines and wore plasters without benefi cial results. Seeing Doan's Kidney Pills advertised I went to the Palmetto Drug Co.'s Store and got a box. The change for the better was noticeable almost at once and since using two boxes of them according to dircc tiocs my back haa not ached, the secretions have become normal and I do not have to get up at night at all. I feel fifteen years younger tnan I did before I used Doan's Kidney Pills." For sale by all dealers. Price 50 eta. Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, N. Y., sole agents for the United States.

Dillard, who resides on North Liberty street, had a thrilling encounter with a daring negro burglar this morning. At the time, she was in the act of going from the dining room of her home to a bed room, where her husband, who came in on an early train from Atlanta, was sleeping, and when in the hallway she met a negro, who wore a light overcoat aud gloves. The negro struck Mrs. Dillard and she fell. He then made his escape from the house, and when once free in the yard, he scaled over a garden fence and disap peared, eluding arrest. After being knocked down, the woman screamed for her husband, who appeared on the scene, but the negro had made his es cape. Mrs. Dillard was not seriously hurt by the blow, but she suffered se verely from the nervous shock. The negro was > vidently out for stealing, and doubtless belongs to that daring crowd of sneak thieves who for several weeks past have been walking into residences of the city from the front door, taking overcoats, wraps or cloaks from a hall rack, and walking away. The police are working on the case, but so far there are no develope meuts. -Spartanbut'g cor. t?> Greenville News of Feb. 3rd. Mr. and Mrs. Dillard moved from this city to Spartanburg some years ago. Mrs. Dillard is a daughter ol* Mrs. G. W. Shell. CHAMBERLAIN'S COU0 H R P. M E DY T II E MOT11E R S F A VORITE.
