A HARD STRUGGLE.
When you have a bad back, a back
that's lame, weak or aching- it’s a hard
struggle sometimes to find relief and
cure, but it’s a harder struggle when
the dangers beset you of urinary dis
orders, too frequent urination, reten
tion of the urine with all the subse
quent pains, annoyances and suffering.
There are many medicines that relieve
these conditions, but you want a rem
edy—a cure. Bead this statement; it
tells of a cure that lasted.
Veteran Josiah Heller, place of resi
dence 706 South Walnut St., Urbana,
111., says: “In the fall of 18S9 I pro
cured Doan’s Kidney Pills at Cunning
ham’s drug store in Champaign and
after taking the remedy conscientious
ly I made a public statement of the
results. I told how Doan’s Kidney Pills
relieved me of kidney trouble, disposed
mv lnmp Vinnik nrwl flip nhiTic bppacc
my loins beneath the shoulder blades,
etc. During: the interval which has
elapsed I have had occasion at times
to resort to Doan’s Kidney Pills when
I noticed warnings of another attack
and on each and every occasion the re
sult obtained was just as satisfactory
as when the Pills were first brought
to my notice. At this time I just as
emphatically endorse the preparation
as I did several years ago.

medicine which cured Mr. Heller will

President of the Great Northern
Railway Delivers an Address
at a Fair.
HE TAKES ISSUE WITH ROOSEVELT.
Say* There are Good IndiiHtrlnl En
terprise* and Hnd Cues, But Does
hot Advocate As, He Suys, Roose
velt Does, TarniitK Everything
Over to Congrew.
St. Paul, Minn., Sept. 28.—In an ad
dress at the Grant county fair, at
Elbow lake, President J. J. Hill of the
Great Northern railway and Northern
Securities Co. said:
“Your chairman said that there are
a great many people apprehensive of
the great industrial enterprises which
are being carried on, and well they
may be. There are so-called indus
trial enterprises whose only industry
is in running printing presses to print
shares of stock. The object is to get
something for nothing; to get some
thing that does not belong to them;
to get money out of another man's
and put it into their own—if tliet is
their object, it is all wrong. But
some of these great enterprises are
absolutely sound and right.”
Continuing, Mr. Hill said: “Rome
people advocate, OUR PRESIDENT
ADVOCATES, turning everything
over to congress. What sort of a
congress would we have after awhile
if all the business of the country
were turned over to it V I think they
would be doing’ business in the hall
of congress, but the business they
would do would not bring business
to you that you want. I think I
should hold every man responsible for
himself and his own acts. If he does
wrong, punisjh him; if he does right,
protect him. When that is done those
questions will take care of them
selves.”
Mr. Hill told how his efforts toward
reducing rates on grain had been
thwarted by the consolidation of the
lake boats in making a correspond
ing raise.
“What did we do, then?” said Mr.
Hill. “We built six schooners to car
ry grain from Superior to Buffalo,
and the other boats have not declared
a dividend since. We did not want to
go into the elevator business at Buf
falo, but we had to in order to keep
the other elevators from over-charg
ing and working other extortions. As
a result, the elevator charges of Buf- i
falo are now y2 cent a bushel, where
it was V/g cents.”

portion of the nine-story office build

Willard, on Fourteenth street, op
posite the new Willard hotel, col
lapsed shortly after 8 o’clock Satur
day morning, and a large crowd of
people passing on their way to busi
ness had a miraculous escape from
death or injury. The accident was
caused by overweighing the two iron
column supports for the front wall,
the pillars being insufficient to sus
tain the weight of tho 800 and 1,000
pound stones which were piled as- a
sill coping on the sixth floor. These
immense stones and a part of the
iron framework fell to the ground,
but fortunately the noise of the crash '
gave sufficient warning to the 40
workmen employed and to the pas
sersby. Only one man, a laborer
named Washington Gordon, was in
jured, but he was able to return to
work.

CURIOUS AND COSTLY BOOKS,
The I.nrueKt and the Smallest Vol*
u 1111‘M in the World anil Their
Present Location.
It is a curious fact that the largest
book in the world has, during the last
half century, attracted little or no at
tention, while its ponderous covers
have not been opened for years. This
huge volume is to be seen in the Brit
ish museum, and was presented to the
nation by King George IV. in January,
1823. It measures no less than five feet
ten inches in height and three feet two
inches in width, while it takes four
strong men to lift it from its place.
The bind'ingis of leather, eight skins be
ingused in the process. It is kept closed
with three gilt clasp's, and the dia
mond-shaped spaces on the covers are
filled with alternate representations of
the rose, thistle and harp, says House
hold Words.
The smallest book in the world was
made in Italy, and presents a striking
contrast to that just mentioned. In
deed, it is matter for wonder how this
I.iliputian volume was ever construct
ed. It measures only four-tenths of
an inch in length, and one-<piarter
inch in width. It contains 20-8 pages,
upon each of which there are nine lines,
and from' 95 to 100 letters.
The largest, as well as the most
costly Bible in existence is the Hebraic
manuscript Bible in the Vatican, Rome.
In the year 1512 the Jews endeavored
to purchase this precious volume from
rope .hums IT., for its weight, in gold;
and. when it is considered that it
weighs not less than 320 pounds, the
nagnitude of this offer will he more
readily understood. Indeed, had the
pope consented to part with it, .€20,000,
or even more, would have at. once been
forthcoming to effect the transfer.
The most costlj- book in the world,
however, is a copy of the Koran, and
was enshrined, some years ago, in the
holy Mohammedan city of Isonan
P.uza, in Persia. This remarkable vol
ume was a gift from the ameer of Af
ghanistan. Its covers, which are nine
and one-half inches long and four
inches wide, are composed of plates of
solid gold, one-highth of an inch in
thickness, and lined with silver plates
aft the same size. Diamonds, rubies
and pearls, set in symbolic designs,
ornament, the center and four corners
of this costly volume. The central fig
ure is a crescent with a star between
its points, and the whole design con
tains. no fewer than 10!) small dia
monds, 107 pearls and 122 rubies. The
diamonds used in the corner designs
are almost hidden in their golden set
ting and the orange-colored lacquer,
.vith which they are fastened, and are
?ach worth €1.000. The leaves are of
parchment; and the whole book, which
is written by hand, is valued at no less
than € 25,000.

ESKIMOS QUICK TO LEARN.
llnstrateil by the Experience* of *
Teacher with the Cnpe l'rince
of Wale* Natives.
After an experience of several
nontbs in teaching the natives of Cape
.’rlnce of Wales Mrs. Mary Bernardt
says that in spite of the many dilli
julties encountered, she rather en
oyed the novel experience of tendi
ng the young Eskimo idea how to
>hoot. Her school was at the village of
fCingegan, and she had an enrolled at
endauce of 147. The most distinc
tive feature in the Eskimo character,
sirs. Bernardt says, is a supernbun
lant curiosity, reports an educational
ournal.
The natives, especially those who
lave arrived at the age of “discretion,”
ire of a prying, not to say enterprising,
:ast of mind, and what they cannot un
lerstand—and that would till many
volumes—they are inclined to look
ipon with suspicion and disdain. How
:ver, Mrs. Bernardt says that the
,'ounger people are anxious to learn;
:liey are patient to a degree, and as a
rule are- bright and quick to learn,
riie hardest task of the teacher, per
mps, is to teach them discipline; that
s, they must be subject to certain
•ules of government. The younger
ran with practice be brought to see
die necessity of this, but practically
:o try to subject the older pupils to
my form of discipline is well nigh im
possible.
Mrs. Bernardt, who is well known in
Seattle, as well as Alaska, went to
Dape Prince of Wales last October in
die capacity of teacher. Of the 147
pupils one-tliird were over 21 years of
age, and it was not at all times a prim
rose path which she found while try
ng to enlighten their benighted minds.
The younger children made steady
progress. They learned to read and
lipher with a degree of rapidity and
appreciated what was being done for
them. They were taught many things
unknown to Eskimo domestic econ
omy, and were grateful.
In winter the school was conducted
in a large igloo, roughly equipped as a
schoolroom, but with many school
room accessories wanting. When the
spring days came and the sun began t®

sea beach where the sand made a floor

NOTES OF THE MODES.
Clotlix Thnt tt 111 lie In Favor tor
Street Gowns I)uri 111; the
Autumn Season.
Venetian, kid-finished and satin
faced cloths, cheviot and fine camel’s
hair are to be used for autumn tailor
gowns for shopping, promenade and
traveling wear, says the Mew York
Post.
Everything points to a generous
use of velvet this .year, the costumes,
new “dress” coats, cloaks, fichu
capes and fancy jackets opening tip
unlimited possibilities for a fabric
always rich and becoming. Plain
and fancy velvets, box robes of cash
mere, and other handsome light
wools with velvet borders, velvet in
white and pale Dresden tints for
evening wear, and fruity weaves for
blouses, dress trimmings, fur
trimmed costumes, have been
brought out, with still more brilliant
colorings, for French millinery for
both day and evening wear.
French jackets of light-weight cov
ert cloth are made with double
breasted, semiloose fronts, and fin
ished with three graduated shoulder
capes, the roll of the lining showing,
like a silk or satin piping at the ex
treme edge of each cape.
The tailor-finished shirt waists of
flannel, although not so dainty and
airy in effect as the summer styles,
have their own special attractions.
At all the importing houses the new
autumn models are already exhibit
ing in delicate pastel shades, and
also in various shades of red, green,
amethyst, blue, gray, cream color
and black. They are taut and shape
ly in style, and will prove most use
ful during the entire season as inde
pendent waists to wear with differ
ent skirts of silk or wool, or as a
finish for open-fronted jackets of va
rious kinds and colors. Some of the
waists have the popular slot-seam
decoration, others show racheted
tucks or silk-embroidered bands, and
again, there are designs in soutache,
or rows of narrow velvet ribbon or
gimp, that give the waist the effect
of being made of a striped fabric.
For durable autumn traveling suits
that will serve for general utility
wear all winter -are soft, firm Eng
lish stuffs, closely woven in tine
basket effects in invisible green, dark
marine blue, brown and black. These
fabrics are about 46 inches wide, and
cost $1.25 a yard. Other patterns, in
tri-colors, are among the prettiest
of the fancy wool materials in rose
color checked with reseda, in violet
with stem green, pale fawn brown
with Tris blue, red with Quaker gray,
etc. In silk and wool these small
checks are expensive, but they are
very wide. New Scotch tweeds com
bine two or three fashionable colors
with white. Dappled cheviots show
several shades of a single color, with
ecru or light gray, green being very
prominent among these.
Lace will retain its position as a
trimming, and all lace toilets will be
quite as much in fashion as ever this
winter. The combination of light
and heavy laces will continue, and
also the mixture of blaeK and white
nets and laces. Pale golden green
will be used as a foundation for both
black, white nnd ecru lace gowns,
and also under gray mousseline de
soie encrusted with ecru lace bands
and applique ornaments.
