tives thereabouts resent the appear-
ance of these guards, several of whom
have been tired upon recently. Due
of them resigned after having a bullet
pass through his coat sleeve as he
was patrolling lfis luiiely beat in the
forest. The "snipers" use smokeless
powder and ail efforts to locate them
have failt-d. Mr. Rockefeller owns
58,000 acres or fine forest, land in the
viol’llHy named, but the natives can
not be made to see that with the real
estaie he bought the deer. Nor can
they understand how lie owns the fish
which were put into the streams at
public expense. They have shot and
and fished on the land as far bark as
the oldest inhabitant can remember
and see no reason why the arrival of
Mr. Rockefeller among them should
change their custom. Hence the plac-
ing of the guards, of whom thera is a
sinall army. .

Greatest in the World.
Arlington, Ind., Dec. 5th.— (Special)
- Mr. W. A. Hysong, the photogra-
pher, who moved here recently from
Sapp, Ky.. is firmly of the opinion that
Dodd’s Kidney Pills aro the greatest
Kidney Remedy the world has ever
known.
"In the years 1901 and 1902," says
Mr. Hysong, “and for some time be-
fore t was afflicted with Kidney Trou-
ble. My Joints were gore and stiff
and I finally got so bad I could not
turn in bed without assistance. In the
Spring of 1903 I was Induced, by a
friend, to try Dodd's Kidney Pills and
after using ono and one-half boxes I
was and am still completely cured.
Several of my neighbors, too, used
Dodd s Kidney Pills and in every case
they did as recommended."
Cure tho early symptoms of Kidney
Disease, such as Backache, with
Dodd’s Kidney Pills and you will nev-
er have Bright's Disease.
The Country's Fruit Crop.
The annual fruit crop of the United
States has a value of $132,000,000. The
orchard fruits produced each_year have
a value of $84 000,000 ami citrus fruits,
grown principally in California and
Florida, $8,540,000. The seven gre^t
fruit growing States in the order of
production are California, New York,
Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan, Illinois
anil Indiana. The products of New
York, Pennsylvania and Ohio are mark-
eted mainly in ftie East, but the sur-
plus products of the other four States
are marketed mainiy in Chicago, as
are the fruits of Iowa ($2,894,000),
Kansas ($2,481,000, Nebraska <$867,'
000), and other Western States.

feels deeply, acts boldly, and ex-
presses himself with frankness and
