TIRED BACKS.
The kidneys have a great work to
do in keeping the blood pure. When
they get out of order
it causes backache,
headaches, dizziness
languor and distress
ing urinary troubles.
Keep the kidneys well
and all these suffer
ings will be saved
you. Mrs. S.A. Moore,
proprietor of a res
taurant at Water
ville, Mo., says: “Be
fore using Doan’s Kidney Pills I suf
fered everything from kidney troubles
for a year and a half. I had pain in
the back and head, and almost contin
uous in the loins and felt weary all
the time. A few doses of Doan's Kid
ney Pills brought great relief, and I
kept on taking them until in a short
time I was cured. I think Doan’s Kid
ney Pills are wonderful.”

MONDAY UNIVERSAL WASH DAY.
Recognized as Such Over Almost All
the World.
Why does nearly all the civilized
world wash clothes on Monday? What
has Monday to do with washing? It
was originally the moon’s day and
was sacred to the queen of night.
I read in a schoolboy's history that
the Pilgrims landed on Monday and
the good women immediately set
about washing the clothes that had
been soiled on the trip over. We
might judge from that alleged fact
that no washing was done aboard
ship; yet the finest place for such
necessary work of sanitation and
blessedness is out at sea where there
Is plenty of water and nearly al
ways a drying wind.
The voyage of the little Mayflower
lasted 63 days, I believe, and as near
ly as we can now reckon the landing
was made at Plymouth Rock on a
Monday, though some historians in
sist cm Friday. It must have been a
vile and filthy vessel on arrival, with
102 passengers aryl crew going over
two months without washing their
linen. Linen? What did they wear
In 1620? Can you realize how big
was the Mayflower? A miserable lit
tle bark of 160 tons (Capt. John
Smith) or 180 tons (according to
Bradford).

Always in the Way.
Recently a country doctor in th<
north of Ireland, a bachelor, who wai
locally noted for his brusqueness anc
irascibility, was driving along a nor
row lane, or “boreen,” when his pas
sage was effectually barred by an ole
woman, who was returning from th<
bog leading an ass whose panniers
were filled with peats. The womar
led the ass to the side of the lane as
quickly as she could, but not quicklj
enough to please the short-temperec
doctor. “Faugh!” he exclaimed, witt
a snort of disgust. “Women and asses
are always in the way.” “I’m glad y<

The doctor drove on without anothei

FELL FIFTY FEET
Passenger Breaks Through Bridge and
Sinks In River Loire.
Angers, France, August.—Forty pas
sengers in a third-class railroad car
and the engineer of the train were
drowned Sunday afternoon in a rail
road accident three miles southeast of
this town.
The locomotive of a crowded local
train jumped the track then entering
the bridge over the river Loire.
The stone railing gave way and the
engine plunged into the river fifty
feet below, dragging down with it its
tender and the baggage and third-class
cars. Fortunately no other cars went
into the water as the coupling between
the second and third cars broke. The
conductor and fireman were the only
persons whose lives were saved. They
escaped by swimming.
The third-class car was well filled
wdth pasesngers, but although part of
the roof was blown off by the confined
air as it sank, not a single passenger
extricated himself and all were drown
ed like rats in a trap. The engineer
perished beneath the locomotive.
Boll Weevil In Mexico.
San Antonio, Tex..August.—A re
port from Durango, Mex., says: Con
sternation reigns among cotton plant
ers of this state on account of the ap
pearance in the fields of the hacienda
El Zorilla in the Cuencamo district of
what is generally supposed to be the
boll-weevil. Local cotton men are un
acquainted with the pest and are un
able to say whether the worm is the
weevil or not, but the general suppo
sition is that it is. The pest multi
plies with terrible rapidity and the
crops of El Zorilla are being complete
ly destroyed. Growers near the scene
of the attack of the plague are in de
spair and there is fear that it will
spread to all the cotton districts of
the state. It has been suggested to
secure the assistance of cotton ex
perts from the state of Texas.
Another Woman Beaten.
New York, August.—Another mur
derous assault was added Sunday to
the police record of recent crimes
against defenseless women and girls.
The last victim was Miss Ellen Bul
ger, a woman of middle age, who was
attacked in her apartments in the
Bronx, cruelly beaten and left in a
helpless state. The woman was re
moved to a hospital, where it was
found that her skull had apparently
been fractured, her face and hands
lacerated, and her body otherwise
bruised. There was evidence that
the woman had made a courageous
fight. From what the police were able
to learn from her, she was surprised
by a smooth faced stranger perhaps
4 0 years of age. He was coatless and
wore an outing shirt and dark trou
sers. He escaped.
Well Damp Kills Two.
Birmingham, Ala., August.—James
Garrity and his son, living at Refuge,
3 1 miles from here, were overcome by
gas and died in a 60-foot well. They
were engaged in cleaning the well.
The son, who was 17 years of age,
went down to load the buckets. Af
ter a short while he called to his fath
er to pull him out, as he felt ill. He
got in the bucket and after being
drawn up a few feet, fell back. The
father went down to aid the boy, but
was quickly overcome. When another
man went down, he found the boy
dead and the father expiring.

German Captain Released.
San Antonio, Tex., August_A re
port from Tampico, Mex., says: “As a
result of investigation into the recent
collision between the national steamer
Puebla and the Hamburg-American lin
er Foresck, in which the latter ram
med the former, the pilot in charge
of the German ship, who was first ar
rested, has been released and Captain
Max Govern of the Foresck arrested.
An effort was made to have Govern
released on bail, but the request wae
refused on the ground that the Ger
man captain has no fixed residence in
this country.
History Writers.
San Antonio, Tex., August.—A re
port from Mexico City says: With the
support Of the minister of public in
struction and fine arts the work of
writing the most complete history of
Mexico ever issued has been com
menced by Augustin Agieros, Manuel
Camio and Catarino Lopez, the three
men who stand foremost as historians
in this country. The historians will
be asisted in their work by Joseph E.

public library and a man of high
scholarly attainments.
Vulgarized Fashions.
It seems almost hopeless now for
fashion of any kind to be really exclu

gradully nowadays, but arrive simul

vulgarized and crude, it is true, but
the type will be found to be the same.

Chicago, August.—Ralph Berger, 21

on the tracks of the Chicago, Burling
ton and Quincy Railroad at Napier

M’KINLEY MONUMENT
To Be Dedicated in Buffalo Sept. 5.
Former Residents Invited.
The beautiful white marble shaft
erected by the state of'New York in
Niagara Square, Buffalo, N. Y., to the

6, and the event will be the central
feature of Buffalo's Old Home Week,
Sept. 1 to 7. Former residents of Buf
falo and the public at large are cor

Hughes, with his military staff, will

All in Cold Storage.
An Oregon attorney, representing
a client whose title to a certain cold
storage plant was under fire, closed
an able argument before the Oregon
supreme court recently with the fol
lowing bit of pathos: “Your honor,
there is more resting upon your de
cision than this cold storage plant: a
human life is at stake. My client’s
life’s efforts are in this cold storage;
his life’s blood is in this cold storage;
his body and soul are wrapped up
in this cold storage.”—Law Notes.
Took Exception.
“Remember, brothers!” shouted the
orator of the strenuous life, "I haven't
any use for mollycoddles.”
The very old gentleman who was
sitting in the last row removed his
pipe and retorted:
“Wal, by heck, mister, even if you
haven’t any use for Molly Coddles
i yeou needn't to stand thar and talk
behind her back, seein’ that she is
not present to defend herself.”

and gazed around her with an air of
such wonder that a spectator might
well suppose that she was awestruck
