I I I SUSPENDERS AND SUSPENSE What Uncle Sam Needs the Former For as Stated by a Halting Speaker. SUSPENSE A certain congressman from a mountain district, says the New York Sun, is troubled with a weak, squeaky, little voice, which sometimes fails in the midst of what might otherwise be an eloquent peroration. Recently, in addressing the house on a matter connected with tariff, he exclaimed: "Why, tariffs are like a pair of suspenders, sometimes tignt and sometimes loose; but Uncle Sam needs them just the sume, to keep up his-" Here the congressman's voice struck high treble note, flared and stopped. The house held its breath while he cleared his throat. suspense, which seemed to last for fully a minute, was more painful to the auditors than to the orator, for everyone was wondering whether he would say "trousers" or "pants," and some were even hoping that he might say "pantaloons." Even "overalls' 'would be better than "pants," for "pants" is most unparliamentary.

But all fears were without foundation. He cleared his throat with the greatest care, and in a death-like stillness resumed his oration where he had dropped it: "to keep up his running, expensesThe words followed were lost forever in a gale of laughter. SAVED CHILD'S LIFE. Remarkable Cure of Dropsy by Dodd's Kidney Pills. Sedgwick, July case of W.

S. Taylor's little son is looked upon by those interested in medical matters as one of the most wonderful on record. In this connection his father makes the following statement: "Last September, my little boy had Dropsy; his feet and limbs were swollen to such an extent that he could not walk nor put his shoes on. The treatment that the doctors were giving him seemed to do him no good and two or three people said his days were short, even the doctors, two of the best in the country told me he would not get better. I stopped their medicine and at once sent for Dodd's Kidney Pills.

gave him three Pills a day, one morning, noon and night for eight days; at the end of the eighth day the swelling was all gone, but to give the medicine justice, I gave him eleven more Pills. I used thirty Pills in all and he was entirely cured. I consider your medicine saved my child's life. When the thirty-five Pills were could run, dance and sing, whereas before he was an invalid in his mother's arms from morning until night." No Mister.

A cloudburst at Galena caused a breakage in the Murphy flume across Short creek The flume drains or holds the water out of many of the best producing mining tracts in this district and was built by James Murphy at a cost of $15,000. Five of the best pieces of mining ground are flooded and some of the mines are full to the surface.

The K. T. road weakened the flume two years ago in building across it and it broke soon after, flooding the mines in June, 1902. Mr. Murphy brought suit for $40,000 damages and got $8,000, but he appealed the case and It is still pending.

The flood is looked on as a great disaster to Galena, as it will take all summer to drain the flooded district, thereby throwing hundreds of men out of employment. As soon as the water subsides a number of large pumps will be put in operation to drain the ground. Interesting Obituary. An interesting little story is recited in the obituary of W. B.

Two years later, when approaching his ninetieth birthday, 'he married Miss Harriet Van Leuven, who survives him.

A search of the records reveals the fact that the state prohibitory amendment was not published in either the house or senate journal. If Attorney General Coleman's opinion is correct the prohibitory law may be declared void. IN Liquor Law Invalid? Atchison's Coal Strike.
