WILKESBARRE TALK.
About the Little Enemies to Back.
ache What Home People think
About It.

Mr.. John Gibbon is citizen of Wilkes
barre. Our representative found him at his
place Of residence, No. 237 Halle street. Mr.
Gibbon has been for a long time the victim of
a bad back and kidney troubles The
following conversation held with him will
interest many
"Mr. Gibbon," said our representative.
How long have you been troubled with
kidney disorders?"
For ten years it has bothered me more or
less, being very bad at times"
What did you do for it2"
II tried everything I heard of for which
merit was claimed" Here Mr.. Gibbon
named numerous well-known kidney medi-
cines, and one in particular, a high priced
article that he had taken many bottles of,
all to no purpose"
How did you come to take Doan's Kidney
Pills?"
Just as so many others have. l saw them
advertised and got box at the drug store of
Tuck * Co. l thought they might help me a
little, and to my surprise they proved the
best thing l had ever taken. Nothing has
helped me like Doan's Kidney Pills, and !
have not been slow to tell my friends of
their genuine merit"
How did your disorder effect you 2"
Exactly as you describe kidney complaint
in your advertising, and my suffering with
pain in the back at times was beyond des-
cription. l most emphaticallY endorse Doan's
Kidney Pills and shall do all can to recon-
mend them to Others for they are worthy of
it, and above all, shall use them myself"
Doan's Kidney Pills are for sale by all
dealers, price so cents, mailed by Foster

Eight Cents n Bushel Lower Than the
Years Top Notch.
New York, Aug. 25.-Ths disastrous
result of operations by eleventh hour
bulls was demonstrated in the actions
of the wheat market yesterday Fail
ing to secure the necessary assortment
of bull news, these belated holders
punctured the bull bubble, and prices
fell with a crash to a point over eight
cents a bushel below the top notch for
the year. At the outset, although signs
of collapse were manifest in the un-
certain wavering of prices and freedom
Of offerings, the bull leaders endeavor-
ed to arrest the threatened deluge by
pointing out the comparative steadi-
ness Of Liverpool quotations and the
frosty weather in the northwest.
For a time these influences had some
effect but the market was unresist-
ably top heavy and soon broke through
all restraints, reaching the lowest fig
ure in the early afternoon, when De-
cember after having opened at $1O015
sold at 95hc. Foreign houses oper-
ated on both sides but were chiefly
conspicuous as sellers, led by the conti-
nent. A feature of the trading was
the comparative heaviness Of December,
which widened out to 2hc. discount

the day.
The break shook out a great many

ing the big lines, many of which still
remain for higher prices. The market

SENATOR QUAY accepts the gauntlet
thrown down by the Business Mems

for reelection to popular vote in all
counties which have not held their
primaries yet. 1t is a pity the an

earlier so that the voters of Schuyl-

tageS of state Ownership.
Washington Aug. 25.-Consul Mon
Afghan, at Chemnitz, Germany, has sent
to the state department a report on
Prussian railroads. State ownership
of railroads." he says, plays an i'm
portant part in Prussia's finances.
Earning enormous sums, serving COM
merce and manufactures in times Of
peace and all strategic purposes in
times of war, they have more than JUS
titled the arguments that urged the
government to own them and the lib
eral policies that have put them down
and pushed them out into all parts Of
the empire"
The receipts for 1S9G-97 have gone
beyond the estimate Of the budget Of
1,02O 592, 400 marks, and the estimate
for 1SS7-9S is 1,11O,21O,3 $50 marks, while
the total income of the kingdom is
only slightly more than 1900, ,OOO 600
marks. After giving statistics in some
detail the consul continues:
mo other branch of public property
pays so surely and so well. The GER
tainty of the receipts, their size, the
ease with which they are obtained, their
cash character, render them the most
useful of all the monies turned into the
public treasury. How successfully they
are run, in other respects, whether bet
ter than they would have been under
private ownership, 1t is hard to say.
The tendency all over the empire is
toward state and city ownership Of
all kinds of transportation facilities,
as well as Of telegraphs, telephones
and other means of communication.
