IN THE BEGTNNIN
Kenosha People Did Not Notice It-Now
Trey Do.

Trey Do.
The kidneys are two bean shaped
organs located in the small of the back.
1t is their duty to filter the blood
remove the impurities from it.
If they do not do their duty you will
have backache-its the same thing.
Backache is the beginning
Diabetes, Bright's disease and
death are the final result-unleSs
Doan's Kidney Pills step in and
change the program by removing the
cause of the trOuble-making the kid
neys strong and we'll.
Mr. T. Nichols, of 481 Water street,
Racine, employed at the Pillow Works,
says: My wife noticed an advertise
ment about DOan's Kidney Pills in our
local paper one day and she at once
SAID she thought they would be good
for me, as l was greatly troubled with
kidney complaint. | agreed to try
them if she would go for them and get
me a box. This she did. 1t so hap
pened that day or two after this, and
before [ had begun to take the remedy,
my kidneys became so bad I had to
stop work. I was so lame and sore
through the small of my back that l
could hardly move. My back was
lame most of the time and it was
something out of the ordinary that l
should have to quit work. I COM
menced taking Doan's Kidney Pills
strictly according to directions and in
a couple of days | was able to go to
work again nd in a very short time |
was entirely freed from the backache. "
Just such emphatic endorsement can
be had right here in Kenosha. Drop
into StarkWeather q Co.'s drug store
and ask what their customers report.

Made as Comfortable as Possible Under
the Circumstances.
A Number of Robberies Take Place
During the Progress of the Fire,
Many Stores Being Pillaged-
The Work of Rebuilding De-
stroyed Business Houses Al
ready Begun.

VANCOUVER B. CO., Sept. 12.-At
New Westminster this morning there
are many peculiar scenes after the fire.
On a wide open space just beyond
where the fearful fire stopped a city of
tents has arisen. Here the Provincial
Government and Vancouver authorities
have housed in tents lent by the militia
department all homeless sufferers.
Blankets by hundreds formed beds, and
burned out families seem to be as COM
Portable as possible under the circum-
stances.
All through the unfortunate victims
of the flames have borne ruin stoically.
AL through the hours of the confagra-
tion they were calm as death; to-day
they are just the same, their losses
made them almost insensible to
thought. During the fire, save for the
roaring of the flames and shouting OF
fremen and Chinese, all was quiet; no
crying or panic was seen or heard in
crowds Of burned out and destitute peo-
pie. They only appeared intent on saw
ing what they had been able to secure
from their destroyed homes, and watch
ed with inQuisitive face the terrible
havoc made by their unrelenting foe,
and quietly wondered when the contla-
grafton would burn itself out.
AS usual at a fire, number Of rob-
berries took place and more than one
store was pillaged. A jeweler alleges
that he had a number of watches
stolen, while it is said that a till was
stolen from a bar. Johnson's shoe store
was entered while some of the stock
was being taken out, and several men
were noticed deliberately helping them
selves to boots which might fit them
johnson says that the firms loss will
be about $4,000 or $1,000.
The Chief of Police, who was asked
If there had been any arrests on ac-
count of looting, answered in the mega
tive. He said it was impossible to
watch everybody, but he could see there
had been little or no thieving. His
theory of the origin Of the fire is that a
spark from one of the steamers must
have ignited the hay on Frackman &
Kerr's wharf. 1T was the worst thing
ever saw" he said. There is no
way of describing the course of the
fires IT seemed to come from every
wheres"
Already active merchants of the city
are starting to rebuild stores and renew
