Wife Tells the Story-It Will

(From the Buffalo Evening News.)
IL you were to call at q Front avenue
you would find q pleasant elderly lady,
Mrs. Captin Henesy by name. Her
kindly smile and joyous manner are to
no small extent due to the escape she has
had. Her own words can better de-
scribe her rescue and one can easily I'M
derstand her present happy condition
when they realize what she has gone
through She says: About five
months ago I had an attack of sickness
which lasted for week and since that
time / have been subject at intervals
to similar attacks, some of which were
longer in duration. 1t is hard for me to
describe how l suffered. The pain
would commence In my head, after
which 1t would seem to pass down my
body and settle in my back, my sides
ached, my back ached, and had feel
ing of great distress in the bowels. The
increased pain which seemed to come
from lying down, would be almost un-
bearable, my face and stomach would
bloat up and 1 could hardly stand on
my feet, dizziness made 1t almost i'm
possible; this feeling was always with
me even after the violence of the attack
passed over. The last attack had was
the worst, and was so bad would not
have been able to tell this story but for
Doan'S s Kidney PillS. AS soon as / COM
menced their use found immediate re-
lief. The pain in my back and sides
left me and the dizziness went with it;
the bloating in my face and body dis
appeared and all distress in my bowels
was gone. I have great faith in Doan's
Kidney Pills; in n short time they did
great deal more for me than all the
plasters and medicines which had re-
sorted to in seeking relief and cure
hope always to be able to procure
them"

How to Kill Newspaper:

An Editor who has evidently
felt some portion of the process,
gives the following instructions
for killing a newspaper: Just let
your subscription go. It's only a
dollar or tWO-tho publisher
don't need it If he asks you for
it get just as mad a. you can and
tell him to stop the paper-you
never read it anyhow. Then go
and borrow your neighbor's.
When a reporter comes for news
always be busy, Make him feel as
if he were intruding. When the
advertising and job man comes
tell him you don't need to adver-
tise-everybody knows you; that
you will try and get along with
out any printed stationery-it's
too expensive; that business is
slack and you must economic.
Never drop in to e the editor
unless you want free compliment
tary notice or a lengthy obituary
notice for d beloved relative.
Never recommend the paper to
anybody. When you speak OF
it always say, Yes we have {
little sheet, but it don't amoun'
to much" Keep this up a yea
or two and you will have a deat
newspaper. a dead set of mer'
chants and a dead town.

paper. l have concluded to give
you some news items from this
section of Wayne county.
On the 4th of this month our
public school house was burned
to ashes. This leaves our Sec
ton destitute of school houses,
and our children lose the bene-
fit Of this profitable session. The
fire was originated in the loft,
but for the efforts of our public
school teacher, Mr.. G.. N. Thorn-
ton, everything that was in the
building woulo have been con-
sumed, but with the assistance of
tho students he saved about S25
worth OF desks. seats, etc. This
building was completed about
four years ago, and was known
by the name Of Beaver Dam
school house. The citizens in
this community have lost four
public school houses in the last
20 years, three being destroyed
by fire and one taken away from
the district. There are about Is
children in this section that have
no place to attend school.
