h cordon of cutters, making a picket
line for the exclusion of the excursion
boats.
A large number of guests of tho
president and' Mrs. Roosevelt were on
board the Doliphan. Followed by tho
cruiser Des Moines, which was de
v6ted to the service of the foreign
naval attaches, and by the Dollphin,
the Mayflower proceeded out of Oyster
Bay to where tho battleship Maine,
with Rear Admiral Robley D. Evans
on board, lay in tlic central position at

from the three-Inch guns of each war
thip as the Mayflower swept majestic
ally past. Each ship in turn, with
tailors manning its yards, sounded Its
tribute of honor to the commander-in-
chief as tho yacht passed
roccan authorities asking whether
they would surrender Stensland.

What To Do.
There is comfort in the knowledge so
often expressed, that Dr. Kilmer's
Swamp-Root, the jjreat kidney remedy,
fulfills every wish in curing rheumatism,
pain in the back, kidneys, liver, bladder
ami every part of the urinary passage.
It corrects inability to hold water
and scalding pain in passing it, or bad
effects following use of liquor, wine or
beer, and overcomes that unpleasant ne
cessity of being compelled to go often
I during the day, and to get up many
times during the night. The mild and
j the extraordinary effect of Swamp-Root
I 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
