Why, Doan's Kidney Pills.
The little kidney wonder workers.
What will they do?
Read what citizen says:
Mr.. Louis Range, of 726 Seven
teenth street, retired, says: There
is nothing like experience to prove
the real worth of remedy. For
years l suffered with kidney troubles
and tried different remedies and used
plasters, but l got no relief that was
permanent until used Doan's Kid
ney Pills. There was a weakness and
such terrible pains through my kid
news that l could not sit down or get
up without feeling terrible shooting
twinges. Whenever caught cold it
always settled in my kidneys and ag-
gravated the pain. One day l was
complaining about my back to Mr..
Wivill, of 1511 Seventh avenue, and
he told me that Doan's Kidney Pills
had cured his backache, and he ad-
vised me to try them. L bought a
supply at Marshall e Fishers drug
store, in all five boxes, and | found
them just as my friend had repre-
sented. They relieved the pain in my
back and restored the action of the
kidneys to normal condition. You
may use my statement at any time,
for l consider Doan's Kidney Pills the
best remedy for the kidneys that
have ever used, and / will endorse
them on all occasions"

PAYMENTS OF MISSING SOLDIERS.
Those Not with Their Command at Mus
ter-Out Give TrnMbIe.


Washington, Sept. 21.-The payment
of such soldiers as were not with their
commands when the regiments were
mustered out is one Of the problems
that has been presented to the war de-
partmcnt officials. Some time ago or
ders were issued directing regimental
and other commanders to have soldiers
on sick leave furlough furnished with
descriptive lists. so that they might be
paid if they were not with their COM
mands. Some of the officers have neg
lected to do this.
Then, again, cases have arisen where
soldiers have gone into hospitals and
their commands have been transferred
to other camps, or home, to be mus
tered out, and nothing was left with
the sick soldiers to identify them for
the receipt of their pay. Several in
stances of this sort have been discov-
cred, and the men have received their
pay as soon as possible.

San Francisco, Sept. 21.-Late ad-
vices from Honolulu quote Senator Nor

always been in favor of a state govern

Speaking for myself, however, and no;
for the commission, 1 am inclined tn

government at present. "As the
territory of Hawaii you will have your
own legislature, of which you will elect
the members.
THE United States will, of course.
take charge of the custom house and
postal department, but in all other mat
tiers you will be your own masters.
You will make your own laws,
subject to the approval of congress.

Fought at Rsby, Ind.
Cleveland, Sept PA special to The
Plain Dealer from LaPorte, Ind, says:
Roby, which in past years was the
scene of many pugilistic battles. may
be made the arena for the pulling off of
the fight between Corbett and Mccoy.
Private advices from Roby give the
details of the proposed meeting. Archi-
tects have been at work for several
days on plans for the conversion of the
betting ring at Roby into a fighting
arena with seating capacity of 10000.
A secret meeting held al Mount Glenn
ems. Mich, resulted in Roby being Sc
lcted as the battle ground of the two
heavyweights- 1t is the evident pur-
pose to keep both Mccoy and Corbett
in training without revealing the exact
location of the fight, and the advices
revealing the arrangements in progress
of contamination have caused a great
sensation in sporting circles.

Our Right Is Perfect.
Some question has arisen as to the
right of the United States to send troops
to Manila under the terms of the pro-
tocol and the armistice which followed.
Upon this matter being brought to the
attention of the officials of the war de-
partment it was stated that under the
protocol Manila city. harbor and bay
were placed under control of the Unit
ed States, and that we have the same
right to reinforce Manila that we would
have to send troops to any other army
post. Spain, it was said. would have
no right to protest against the action of
the United States, as the movement of
troops to Manila was not like sending
them to an island or station in dispute.

Old Homes.

Old homes amoBg the hills, l love their gardens
Their old ock-fences that our day inherits;
Their doors, round which the great trees stand
like wardens;
Their paths, down which the shadows march
like spirits;
Broad doors and paths that reach bird-haunted
gardens.
1 see them gay among their ancient acres,
Severe of front. their gables -sprinkled-
Like gentle-hearted, solitary Quakers.
Grave and religious. with kind faces wrinkled-
Serene among their memory -hallowed acres
Their gardens banked with roses and with lilies
Those sweet aristoerats of all the flowers
Where springtime mnts her gold in daffodillies,
And autumn ingots margolds in showers,
And all the hours are toilless as the lilies
l love their orchards, where the gay woodpecker
Fits, flashing Ger you. like a winged jewel;
Their woods whose flowers Of moss the squirrels
checker
With halfhulled nuts; and where, in cool re-
newal,
Tie wild brooks laugh. and rsps the red wood
pecker
Old honest old hearts. Upon my soul forever
Their peace and giadness lie like tears and
laughter;
Like love. they touch me, through the years that
sever
With simple fifth; like friendship draw me
after
The dreamy patience that is theirs forever
