They have proved in my case to be good
thing"
Nature has provided certain amount of
work for every organ of the human body !;
overtax them and disease eventually follows.
There is not one portion of our organism
that is so overworked as the kidneys; on
them is placed the important function OF
filtering the blood of the impurities which
naturally form in the regular action of life
and digestion. The kidneys are consequently
termed the sewerage of the system; clog up
this sewer, and the blood becomes tainted
with poisonous uric acid. which brings on
disease in many forms. The back is the first
to show this stoppage. From there comes
the warning note; it should be needed, and
the kidneys receive prompt attention.
Doan's Kidney Pills will right the action of
the kidneys quickly, relieve the back of pains
and aches and cure all troubles of the kid
neys and bladder.
Doan's Kidney Pills are for sale by all
dealers-price 80 cents. Mailed by Foster

Mrs. Ketcham Demands That the Corone
Burn No Daylight.

Burn No Daylight.
Chicago, Nov. 17.-There was a dra-
matte scene yesterday while the inquiry
into the death of John b. Ketcham was
in progress at the Indiana avenue home
Of his widow. But two witnesses had
been examined by the deputy coroner
and statements of the two attending ply
sicians submitted, when it was an
nounced that, owing to the inability of
the chemist to complete the analysis OF
the stomach of the deceased, the inquest
would be adjourned for week. This
brought Mrs. Ketcham to her feet In an
instant.
IT want an investigation" she said,
land I want a thorough one, but I am
net satisfied with this. 1 have some
rights and I demand that they be con-
sidered before the inquiry is postponed
a week. That will not do. The chemist
can conclude this work in less time than
that. Think what I must endure in that
time." continued Mrs. Ketcham, her
voice breaking and her whole body
trembling with emotion. "This investi-
cation must be thorough. That Is my
right. Why can't it be continued in a
day or two?"
Her pleading was not without effect,
for 1t was finally decided to continue the
inquiry Friday afternoon, by which
time the chemists analysis will have
been completed.
Ketcham will be buried in the family
plot at Toledo. What promised to be a
difficulty between Mrs. Ketcham and the
relativesof the dead clubman was avert
ed yesterday by Mrs. Ketcham, who be-
fore the inquest was called, turned her
alleged husbands body over to his
brother, George Ketcham, who left with
1t for Toledo last evening. A funeral
service was held at Mrs. Ketcham's res
idence.

Spicer family last February and had
just been granted new trial by the SUI

were taken from the county jail in EN-
mons county Saturday night and
lynched by a mob. The lynching had
been apparently coolly planned, and was
carried out without break in the pro-
gramme, as is naturally the case in
these little affairs. Williamsport, where
the hanging took place. is about forty
miles from this city. and off the railroad
The news of the hanging was received
here yesterday afternoon when a
mounted messenger arrived, his horse
in a foam from swift ride. and an
nounced that the three men had been
lynched
Deputy Sheriff Was In Charge.
The sheriff of the county was in this
city at the time the hanging occurred,
and it was to him that the messenger
rode in such hot haste. The men had
been under the custody of Deputy Sher-
if Tom Kelley, and they were taken
from under his control by the mob and
hanged to a beef windlass several hum
dred yards from the Jail. where their
bodies were swinging to the breeze all
yesterday, the coroner not having yet ar
rived and no one else volunteering to cut
them down. There were about forty men
concerned in the lynching. They rode
into Williamsport on horseback late at
night and tethered their horses a short
distance from the city that they might
secure them again as speedily as neces-
sary after the deed was done. The Jail
in which the prisoners were confined Is
a substantial stone structure, and was in
charge of Deputy Sheriff Thomas
Kelley.
Awaiting Visit from Friends.
Since the confinemnt of the prisoners
therein so great has been the fear that
they might escape in some way that one
man has watched all night within the
jail, and Friday night Kelley was on
watch. There was meeting Of the lodge
of Woodmen in the building near the
Jail, and as Kelley was member he ex-
pected to meet some Of the members Of
the lodge after the meeting adjourned.
To while away the time during the night
hours he was playing solitaire in front
Of the cells in which the murderers were
confined. At about 2 o'clock in the morn
ing there was rap at the outer door Of
the Jail and Kelley arose quickly and
turned the key in the lock, thinking that
the persons he expected to meet had ar
rived.

The case of Mrs. James Kell, of GIL
Ninth Street, S. E., Washington, D. c.,
should convince everyone that it Is
useless to expect doctors to cure Rheu-
matism. Under recent date she writes !:
ga few months ago had an attack of
Sciatic Rheumatism in its worst form.
The pain was so intense that my ner-
vous system was Frustrated, and was
for long time perfectly helpless. The
attack was an unusually severe one,
and my condition was regarded as
being very dangerous.
"I was attended by one of the most
able doctors of Washington City, who is
also member of the faculty of the
leading college here. He told me to
continue his prescription and I would
get we'll. After having it reflled twelve
times and receiving not the least bene-
fit, declined to take it longer.
"Having heard SIS. (Swift's Spe-
cifc) recommended for Rheumatism,
decided, almost in despair, to give
it a trial. After taking a few bot
ties was able to hobble around on
crutches, and very soon had no need
at all for them, for SIS. cured me
sound and we'll. All the distressing
pains have left me, my appetite has
returned, and am happy to be again
restored to perfect health"
S.S.S. never disppoints, for It is made
to cure these deep-rooted diseases which
are beyond the reach of all other RENE
dies. It cures permanently Rheumatism,
Catarrh, Cancer, Scrofula, Eczema, and
all other blood diseases. It is the only
blood remedy guaranteed

Cute Yankee Evades Customs Taxes.

Washington, Nov. ia curious case
Of smuggling has been effectually sup
pressed at Nogales, A. T.. Last May a
town site was made on he international

later these same goods would be carted
out Of a door opening on the American
side Of the line. Now a sixty-foot strip
has been reserved for street and the

Tense Stated in Brief.


Tense Stated in Brief.
Vipton, Ia, Nov. 1.-THE state closed
it's case in the Novak trial Monday, hav-
ing examined thirty-two witnesses and
made a strong case. The defense de-
manded that the twelve more witnesses
named in the indictment be examined,
but the court overruled. The state made
several points by the evidence. One was
that the fire could not have started from
Novak's stores private gas plant; that
the blood clot in, Murray's skull was
caused by fracture, and thatthiswould
not have resulted from asphyxiation or
intoxication.
The defense made the points that MUIR
rays skull was thinner than the ordi-
nary; that the blood would be redder
by death from coal gas asphyxiation;
that this clot was noticed to be redder,
and that Novak had bought morphine.
with which he proposed to drug whisky

Order to Make Repairs.
Lansing, Mich, Nov. 12.-Railroad
Commissioners Wesselius is after the
Pontiac oxford and Northern railroad,
a line running 100 miles from Pontiac
to Caseville. Last summer Assistant
Mechanical Engineer Sanford made an
inspection. He reported that the ties,
culverts and bridges were in a danger
Gus condition, and that the depots were
neglected and filthy. He recommended
that fifty new ties a mile be laid. Mr..
Wessellus at once ordered the repairs
made. Their necessity was admitted by
Manager Sanford of the railroad, after
a separate inspection.
Though the company promised to make
repairs, it is alleged they have not
been made. Now Mr.. Wessellus has
sent Mechanical Engineer Moore and an
expert for still another inspection, and
he intimates if repairs are not made
Immediately the company will be or
dered to stop running trains. The COM
pany is one of the few local companies
to pay dividends paying per cent. on
81, 100000 capital, but Mr.. Wesselius
thinks this has been largely at the ex-
pense of the equipment.
