4 GRAND TRIUMPH.
Baflled Many Times but Success Comes
at Last.
from the Grand Rapids Press.l


The following incident would be hard
to believe if it had not occurred right here
in Grand Rapids, and investigation by our
representative has placed it beyond the
reach of doubt These are the facts in
detail Mr. j. III. White of No. 90 IIaitley
Place, has been an instructor in penman->
ship in different business colleges for the
past fourteen years. He says Last Oc-
ed physician, who said the pain was
from gravel stones gradually grew
worse; the pain was i'm my back and side.
My back swelled up IN q great ridge, and
l finally grew so bad that l was taken to
bed, as helpless as child. l passed
blood, and when the pain was at its worst
l was like ono crazy. The doctor injected
morphine to give me relief, but further
Il IN that he said he was powerless, and
nothing would do me any good but sur
gical operation. believe my flesh was
literally cooked IN the attempts to relieve
my agony, everything was used, mustard
plastcrs, turpentinc, hot cloths and all
such things. was in this condition, given
up by the doctor, and almost out of my
mind with suffering. l commenced taking
Doan's Kidney Pills, and really felt easier
in 30 minutes. After about two hours (
had q passage of urine, and passed blood
and some gravel stones which greatly
relieved me. Irapidly improved. / took
in all six boxes, and feel to.day entirely
well. Mine has been q wonderful case.
l feel that l cannot say anything strong
enough for Doan's Kidney Pills. My
great wish is that they may become weli
known. They will prove boon to man
kind.

Our M. D. bravely smothered his re-
sentiment at the term "yearlin'," and re-
sponded with good grace.
Later on when our acquaintance dis
covered that we had spent a week on
old Frank Lyons cattle ranch in Idaho,
he simply overlooked with delight.
"Why, Frank Lyons wuz the fust man

and there wuzn't nobody but Nez Per-

Later we learned that our new ac-
quaintaDce was Bill Halstead, the mill
lionaire cowboy, and of high standing
among the Cherokees. We met him
later and he insisted that our whole
party visit him. We never had more
delightful time. His ranch was only
three miles from town, and was mag
riicert structure. In the house we
found his two children.
This is her paws honin' calfie," said
Bill, stroking the little ones hair with
a tender, awkward hand, "but Ches-

Many Aliens In T.. =. Departments.

In accordance with joint resolutions
passed 10y congress. calling for inform
alton us to the number of aliens. if any,
are employed in the governmental de-
partmentS. Investigations have been
made which show "a rather surprising
state of affairs During the past
month the clerks of the supreme court
of the District of Columbia have been
buster with naturalization cases than
they have been for a long period.
Since May IA no less than So persons
have taken out their papers. Ordi-
narily the naturalization eases in the
district for similar period of time,
according to the statement of the clerk
is about eight. From the records of
the court the names of all those natu-
rallied since May Il, were obtained
and the investigation, which is
far from complete, reveals no less
than IL employees in the different
departments who were not citizens of
the United States. Some of these are
holding positions of great Importance
and when the statement of the heads
of the different departments, in re-
Spouse to the inquiry of congress, are
submitted. they will no doubt create
quite stir.
One reason for the introduction of
the resolution in congress was found
in well-grounded rumors that certain
foreign governments were in receipt of
information which they could not have
obtained legitimately and it is the in
tention of those interested to make
some startling revelations when con-
gress reassembles in December In the
meantime the alien oficeholders are
getting under cover by taking out
naturalization papers.
