Doan's Kidney Pills are Endorsed by
Portland people
Read what citizen says:
Mrs. B. G. Willis, of 16l Lincoln street.
says: "The genuine merits OF Doan s
Kidney Pills induce me to recommend
them to Others. For many years | had
spells of trouble from my kidneys. 1T
such times my back ached across the
Gins and it was accompanied with very
scanty secretions from the kidneys and
nv feet and limbs bloated or pulled up.
In the spring of 1896 I YVES in pretty bad
shape and my husband got me Doan
Kidney Pills at H. Fl. Hay s. Sons drug
store at the junction of Free and Middle
streets. They did just exactly as they are
represented to do. The backache left me
and the urinary difficulty disappeared.
From my experience I can't help but
speak glowingly of Doan's Kidney Pills
for such ailments.
Sold by all dealers. price SO cents.

Remember the name DOAN'S and take
no substitute.

Ex.Kansas Governor to Wed.

The announcement was made Satur.
day of the engagement of ex.Gov.
Thomas A. Osborn, of Topeka, Kan,
and Mrs. Margaret Richmond. OF
Meadyille, Pa. The wedding is to
take place in the early spring. The
announcement causes quite surprise
at Topeka. Mrs. Richmond visited
Topeka some time ago, and Governor
Osborn was quite attentive to her, but
his friends hardly suspected him OF
having matrimonial intentions. Mrs
Richmond is the widow of H. NJ. Rich.

Great Fire at Cairo.

A special to the St. Louis Post-Dis-
patch from Cairo, ILL.,, says. The new
year was ushered in by fire that was
one of the most disastrous experienced
here for years and which but for the
effective efforts of the firemen, would
have destroyed much more property
than it did. Atmidnight flames broke
out of the European Hotel, on the
Ohio levee, and the building was soon
in ruins. The flames communicated
to the City National Bank building,
adjoining, and Quilted it. For time
it seemed that the whole block would
be destroyed, but the fire was kept
within the two buildings mentioned.
The total loss, which cannot be given
now, will amount to many thousand
dollars, and is fully covered by insur'
anC0.

Disastrous Fire at slidell.

Last Friday night there was disas-
trous fire at Siidel], which destroyed
Eve buildings, one of which was the
large general merchandise store owned
by r. A. Bourgeois, who has been in
the mercantile business for many years
in Nicholson, Miss. also the store and
residence of Mr.. Bedding6eld, who
was wounded near the eye by falling
timbers while trying to save his furni-
ture. Mr.. Bourgeois is insured in the
Phoenix and Scottish Union and Nat
ional Insurance Company of Edinburg.
The loss is about $4,000. The resi-
dence of Messrs. Lisb Evans and Jen-
kins had very narrow escape, as the
wind was blowing gale from the
northwest, and the burning pieces
came near setting several other places
on fire. The occupants barely had
time to escape in their night clothes,
