and bladder are out of order.
What To Do.
There is comfort in the knowledge so
often expressed, that Dr. Kilmer's
Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy,
fulfills every wish in curing rheumatism,
pain in the back, kidneys, liver, bladder
and every part of the urinary passage.
It corrects inability to hold water
and scalding pain in passing it, or bad
effects following use of licpior, wine or
beer, and overcomes that unpleasant ne
cessity of being compelled to go often
during the day, and to get up many
times during the night. The mild hud
the extraordinary effect of Swamp-Root
"is soon realized." It stands the highest
for its wonderful cures of the most dis
tressing cases. If you need a medicine
you should have the best. Sold by drug
gists in fifty-ceiit and one-dollar sizes.
You may have a sample bottle and a
book that tells all i

During tho fruit season there una

ctrs and in addition to these were the
parlH of ears and small ordets which
estimated at ten cars tnoie, making a
total of 07 ears. Thh, at an uverngo of
(500 bushels to the ear, would mean
r.8'200 bushels of fruit from this station
that has found their way, mostly Into
tho western part of this state, and
when we take into consideration that
there are several other stations near
us, that did probably as well, we can
begin to estimate in a degree the Im
mense money value that tho yield of;
fruit means to our farmers. It pays
to raise fruit, even at cheap prices.

I HONESTJGRAFTER
A Glimpse Into the Future of Mu
nicipal Ownership.
A Tbu .ib Nail Sketch of a "Practical
Politician" Tho Profits of an All
Around "Servant of tho Pcoplo, Who
Cecil His Opportunities and Took
'Em."
"Honest Kraft" will reach Its highest
level when, as predicted by the en
thusiasts, the principles of municipal
ownership arc accepted by Now Yorlc
ami the city controls the trolley linos,
the electric light ami mis worhs and
all
tho ferries as well as tho water -
works ami the police, the tiro and tho
otreet departments.
Then such patriots as George Wash
ington l'luukltt, for many years or
ganization loader of the Fifteenth (lis-'
trlct In Now York, will roar rewards of
greater magnitude than they have ever
been able to gather under the present
order of things.
I'erhaps you have never heard about
Mr. IMunkltt's "honest graft" .schemes.
He told about them himself In a book
published last year, which was Intro
difcetl by a paragraph Indorsing him as
a "vek'ran leader of the organization,"
signed by Its greatest chief.
l'luukltt was sore because there were
some objections to graft being made
out'Of the city by men like him, ami In
the first chapter of his book ho uttered
a vigorous protest, "lilackiuallln' gam
blers, saloon keepers, disorderly peo
ple, etc.,',' he admitted to be wrong.
That was "dishonest graft."
"Hut," ho added, "there's an honest
graft, and I'm an example of how It
-works. I seen my opportunities anil I
look eln."
Ir. IMunkltt's explanation., of how ho
did these things will Illuminate tho
possibilities of future' municipal owner
ship days, If they ever come."
After elucidating the ways he was
"tlpjied oil" at various timet by mem
bers of his party the party In power
when nt5w bridges, new .parks, new
streets were to bo opened, so that he
might invest In real estate likely to
rise In price from the improvements
oonteinpluted, ho tu'rls. "I haveiiteon;
lined niysejf to land. Anything that
pays Is In my lino." Then ho gives a
specific instance:
Learning that the city was about to
repavo' a certain sTroot and. so Avowld
have several hundrcl thousand olJl
paving blocks to sell,, ho was "on hand '
i to Infy," and ho "knew just what they
I'were worth." Hut a newspaper "tried
to do him" and got some outside men
from Brooklyn aiftl Now Jersey to bid .
against him. Mr. IMunkltt's own A-ords
toll li e story best:
"Was I tlonoV Not. much. I went
to each ,xt the men and said, 'Ilqw
many. of those U."tf).000 stones do you
'want?'" Otio sa'id.2(XU()ii.' ,nnd uiuther
wanted 1. ".000, and another wanted 10,
0(K). I said'. AU-rl-rht: let me bid for
i the lot, and I'll, give each, of you all
you want for nothin'.'
"They agreed, of. course. Then Hie
aucfloueor yelled, MIow much am 1 bid
foV thee fine pavln' stones V ' 'j
" 'Two dollars and fifty cents,' say I. !
' " 'Two dollars ami . fifty cents!'
.screamed th'o ar'.rjJwnecr. 'Oh, .that's a
joke. Give mo a real bid.'- '
"He fduud. the bid was real enough.,
My-riyuls stood silent. ! got tho lot for
Sl'.riU and gave tliem 'jhtMr snare. J nut s
. how the attempt to do IMunkitt ontled,
and that's how all Midi, attempts end.

the city get rich the same way", he did.
"They dhlu't steal a dollar from the
city. They just Keen their opportunities

GOVERNMENT WAGES LOW.
H. T. Nowcomb Qivon Facts of Inter
est to Wntjo Earnors.
Vvom ISfM to 100 1 tho average retail
j cost of the ordinary articles of food
used In tho United States advanced no
j loss than 17 per cent (Ul.Otl, to be more
I exact) that Is, tho purchaser of food
for a family hud to pay ,$1.17 In 1004
for tho flame quantity and quality of
food that .?L would purchase In 1S00.
Tliono are official statistics compiled
by tho highly skilled exports employed
by the federal governinonl, ami every
housewife knows that they do not over
state' the advance. Other necessities of
life have advanced in cost with ap
proximately equal rapidity.
Unquestionably wages ought, genet'
! al!y I'W'k,"K. to Imve advanced some
what In proportion to the Increase In
the cost. of living. In private employ
ment this has apparently taken place,
the average wages per hour reported
by the federal bureau of labor being
7.'I0 per cent higher In 1001 than In
180(5 ami the average weekly earnings
1L7( percent higher. The advances
thus represented lire spread all over the
country; they charaeturlzo every pri
vate industrial enterprise and have
benefited all classes of workmen em
ployed In private undertakings.
I low Is ?t with public employi'ieut?
A few undertakings conducted under
public ownership employ labor like
that similarly serving private employ
ers In the same communities, and In
these cases tho public rate of wages
has slowly been advanced somewi.at
In proportion to tho advance In the
wages privately paid. But where any
American government, municipal, state
or national. Is the sole or by far tho
largest employer of n particular class
of labor the advances to meet Increas
ed cost of living have been so few that
the ordinary Investigator will bo un
able to discover a single Instance.
Throughout the postal service, among
the lir',000 clerical employees at Wash
ington. In the customs and internal
revenue services there have been no
advances in pay to meet the rise in
cost )f food, clothing and shelter. The
pay of lett.-r curriers, for example, re
mains precisely where It was fixed
twenty years ago by an net approved
on Jan. ::, 1SS7.
Tho largest printing ofllcc In tho
world Is that maintained at Washing
ton by tho government, and thoro the
federal government employs a largo
force of Intelligent and highly skilled
workiii'me.t. A .change In the basis
of payment in 1800 from the piece
work to fie per hour system prevents
comparisons w'.th dates prior to the
change, but avu:os have remained, sta
tionary since March .'I. 1S00, although
tho ofllcial statisticians report that tho
ca-it of food has advanced since the
rate of wares was ilxed by statute ful
ly )'2.'2o per cent. Durln.'; the same
ye::rs tho wu'os of printers In private
book publishing or Job printing estab
lishments advance.! throughout th
United States as follows: Compositors,
male, 11.(17 per cent; compositors, fe
male, 'JU.30 pur cent; prt feeders,
male, U'J.-ll per cent; press feeders, fe
male, 21.fJ7 per cent; pressmen, 11.7."
