DR.. W. H. MORSE.
Says His Endorsement of DR.. David Ken
nedy's FavOrite Remedy Was Based
Upon Actual Experience.
Newark, N. % EvealBg Newg.

Newark, IN. J.) Evening News.
"Most certainly" was the emphatic
reply of DR.. Morse when asked by a
'News" re porter il the words of com
mendation of DIR. David Kennedy's Favor
ite Remedy, that recently appeared in the
press, was veritable.
"I studied medicine" he said with DIR.
A. n. Allen, for many years the leading
practitioner of Massachusetts,. Visiting
him several years after, he related to me
the case of a patient of his who had
been cured of stone by solvents
Naturally / inquired into the matter,
and he told me. In the town of Dalton,
Mass, his patient lived, and that he had
literally suffered many things of many
physicians, and they the best of the state
There had been a diversity of opinion as
to his ailment, but the doctor had dag
nosed chronic icinflammation of the kidneys
and his prognosis had been incurable' ,
| had known of this Casa mere wreck
Of a man, suffering and pessimistic. But
now, greatly to my surprise, the doctor
told me that he was actually cured. He
had taken DR.. David Kennedy's Favorite
Remedy, and not only had grown stronger
and better, but had passed several pieces
of stone. The Remedy had promoted the
passage of the calculi and had acted as
solvent. / saw this man few days later
looking well, feeling finely and speaking
in the highest terms of the Remedy. l
was led to examine it chemically, and to
test it therapeutically. My deductions
have been such as to corroborate the
clinical experience of many other medical
men, that Dr. David Kennedy's Favorite
Remedy will do that which is claimed for
it and ! consider it great discovery"
The great value of DR.. David Kennedy IS
Favorite Remedy lies in the fact that it
/ dissolves the excess of uric acid in the
blood Many of the ailments people suffer
! from-for instance, rheumatism, neural
gia, nervousness, dyspepsia, kidney, liver
and urinary troubles, and the sickness
peculiar to woman, come from this cause
Favorite Remedy dis7olves this acid
expels it from the system, thus curing
the disease. In cases of scrofula diabetes
and Bright's disease, it cures where all
other treatments have failed.

A DANGEROUS CRANK.
He Shoots at Bank Cashier for Refusing
Him n Thousand Dollars

NEW YORK Oct 20-A crank entered
the Clinton Place bank in Astor Place and
demanded $1,000 from Paying Teller Hind.
The teller told the crank 10 wait As Hind
turned away the crank fired a revolver
point blank at him and bullet flew by
Kinds head, burying itself in the adioin-
ing wooc|ork Tho crank was seized and
turned over TO the police The officials Of
The bank some days ago received notice
through the mails from the crank that he
would call to collect 81 200.
The first Of these letters was received last
Tuesday In fact, the prisoner had deliv-
cred it in person He walked in and left IL
at the window without saying a word The
letter was in part as follows;
"This certdes that l shall call upon
you, the cashier of the Astor Place bank,
tomorrow and will present note for
$1,000 and demand from you or who shall
be at the window of the cashier, and shall
force them under penalty Of being shot
dead instantly, without a moments no
tice, TO hand me the money / do not
want to kill no man without first giving
him warming, then If he does not heed
the warning, then his life shall pay the
consequences He signed himself Charles
Freeman.
The man did not call on Wednesday, but
sent apostal saying he would call the next
day. Meantime u detective was on duty
at the bank. On Thursday came another
postal, announcing n days postponement.
Yesterday he presented this draft: "Astor
Place bank after date promise to pay to the
order of God Almighty the sum of 81, 900
when presented by Charles Freeman. Pen
atty if not forfeited-death."
On the back of the draft the following
inscription was written: "Notice-The
draft of 81 900 will be all that l will claim
from one bank"
"Notice-I am authorized by God to
draw upon all banks to whatever amount
l see fit, and the penalty to refuse me
means that / have a right to shoot the per-
son dead that refuses, and by the power of
God no man can stay my hand"
This draft, along with the letters was
taken with the prisoner to the Jefferson
Market police court. When questioned by
Judge Voorhis as to his conduct he an
wered:
81 acted under the instructions of my
Godn
"How did you receive your instruc-
tionsY"
"My instructions were inspirations, and
came from God through my heart"
"Do you think you are saneY" asked
Judge Voorhis
81 think my mind is superior to any In
this room" he answered. He was taken to
Bellevue for examination

new tariff, because that shrinkage oc-
CURED before that tariff was enacted,
but that the decline in prices Of some i'm.
ported products must be credited to that
tariff, because it occurred in anticipation
Of that change. The honest man admits
that one result as much as the other was
produced by the attempt of business to
adjust itself to new conditions, threatened
or enacted. What has come to pass this
year shows how far trades and industries
have been obliged to alter production and
wages and prices by reason Of the new
condition.

Cowardly Striking Miners.

ASHLAND, Ky, Oct. 2O.-The danger
point is considered safely passed in Carter
county. No shots have been fired by
strikers since yesterday noon, when the
sheriff gave chase with large posse and
completely routed them, capturing several
culprits. The men are notmembers Of the
mine workers order, but blacklisted fell
lows, and adds TO the claim of the mine
workers leaders that the fight is none Of
theirs. The most outrageous action of the
trouble was when the home of Mrs John
Walters was attacked and some thirty
shots fired through the windows The
reason assigned for this is that she told
that her husband was returning at her re-
quest from the Hooking valley Of Ohio to
resume work at Straight Creek.

VOTE FOR COYLE.

Any voter in the Thirtieth Senatorial
district who is desirous of sending to the
State Senate man who has the determine
ton and courage to go before that body
and make a fight for measures beneftting
the masses cannot afford to withhold his
vote this fall from Hon. John j. Coyle of
Nahauoy City, the Republican candidate.
Amy attempt here to show the people
that Mr. Coyle is the workingman's friend

last Legislature is known to every voter
in this district who follows public events.
The records Of the Legislature show that
at all times when his voice, energy or vote
was required in behalf Of the working
people, and especially those of the
district he represented, it was never
withheld, on the contrary it is conceded
by all who gave any attention TO his career
in the House, that he was constantly seek

some good for his constituents. If the

She Gave the Assessor Lot of Interest
ing Information.
A deputy assessor called at Mission
residence a few days ago and asked the
lady of the house to fill out her state
ment of assessable property. She had
never made out a statement before,
this public duty having been attended
to by her husband in previous years.
In some way she was under the i'm
preston that the statement of her eff
fects would be published in the daily
papers. and she was anxious to let her
neighbors know what she had.
''ilave you piano, MADAME" asked
the deputy assessor.
Il have that, and fine one, too"
''What is it worth?"
''Not a cent less than one thousand
dollars"
What is your household furniture
worth?"
AT least two thousand five hundred
dollars" The assessor glanced at the
rag carpet doubtfally, but put it down
at that.

hanging on the wall.

young chickens"

They're a very fine breed, and

Chickens, five hundred dollars" he
repeated. as he filled out the blank.

"You have no franchises to assess,
have you?"

Certainly. madam. The total is four
thousand nine hundred and fifty dol
lars. Is that almost right?'
.'You might make it a round five thou

Her husband has been haunting the
assessors office ever since in an effort
TO convince that officia that his wife
was playing a joke on the deputy when
she swore TO that statement.-San Fran
