On the Most Important Local Question
 We Have at Present 10 Discuss.
 Opinions expressed publicly through this newspaper by people in the com moner walks of life who live in some distant State lack the interest which is attached to the opinion held by resi- dents of the Western part of Msssachu- sets. The former have always sus- picious halo about them which is absent in the latter. To put it plainly the reader would sooner believe the state ment of a man living in East Derby. Conn. than the statement of 8 resident If Toledo, Ohio and when the Derby citizen courts enquiry, the experience which follows eau certpinly be depend ed upon Mir Edward R. Hall is 0 ma chinist, living at 84 New Haven Ave. E. Derby. Conn. Write him if you are in doubt about his statement and ask him if 1t is not true MT Hall says: II had lameness take me in the small of my back. accompanied by pains in my loins extending over my hips. I could not bend over and touch the floor nor straighten up as sharp twinRes would catch me in the back. My wife read nf Doan's Kidney Pills being positive remedy for this trouble As she was suffering from kidney complaint worse than I, we were both interested in 6nd- ing remedy. She had been treated by physicians without being cured and the statement that they were a positive cure led us to obtain them from drug store. Doan's Kidney Pills certainly cured my back both of the lameness and also the pain. aud restored energy to me. Mrs Hall was also relieved of the pain and soreness of the kidneys and of distress in the top of the head and back. She can rest nights and is generally in vigorated We both pronounce them the best kidney remedy we have ever used. No doctors medicine ever did us so much good and we have no hesita- tion in recommending strongly Doan's Kidney Pills for backache and weakness of the renal organs"

MASON'S HOUSE AFIRE.
Illinois Senator and His Son Have a
Warm Time in SURPRISING the
Blaze

Washington, Feb. 11.-Senator Mason
not only made a red hot Cuban speech
at the capitol, but last night his house
caught fire and a serious blaze was
averted only by most arduous efforts
on his part.
After dinner the senator retired to his
library, which is on the second floor OF
his residence, and was sitting down to
revise the proofs of his speech, when q
cry Of fire" was sounded on the floor
below
AS fast as his short legs would carry
him the senator rushed below and found
his parlor in a blaze. The curtains
were streams of fire, the carpet was
smoldering, and the room was half ILL
ed with smoke.
One of Senator Mason's sons, and
friend who happened to be in the house,
Joined in the work. They grabbed up
rugs and cOVerIets and with difficulty
and at imminent risk ofreceiVing serious
burns managed to smother the flames,
but not until a lot of curtains had been
destroyed, big holes burned in the car
pet and huge sections of the wall paper
discolored and charred.
When the fire was Subdued, Senator
Mason admitted he was hotter than he
had been at any time during his pas
Sionate speech in the senate.
How the blaze started is a mystery
Senator Mason denies that it caught
from too close contact with the notes Of
his address in behalf of suffering Cuba,
and is able to prove an alibi, because
the speech was at that moment on the
floor above.
The most satisfactory explanation
yet offered is that the maid of all work
had been prOwling about the parlor
with a lighted kerosene lamp in her
hand No alarm was turned in

renely thinking he has but little oppo-
sition and the indications have sub
Stimulated his belief, but the claims of
the followers of the Hessin boom, that
1t is assuming dangerous proportions
has caused Mr.. Clark to stir around
somewhat and take occasional views at
the political horizon.
Mr.. BUrtis has a little boom all his
own and he is treasuring it up carefully
not having fully decided what to do
with it.
Now comes Mr.. Hamilton of Chero-
kee county. The Columbus Advocate
starts him out with the following veri-
ficatiOn;
''The Republicans of Cherokee county
in presenting the name of J. H. Hamil-
ton for the important position of secre-
tary of state, do so with a personal
knowledge that no county in the state
can produce a better or more worthy
gentleman. He is thoroughly Compel
ent in every particular to fill the posi-
ton to which he so justly aspires. If
nominated he will add strength to the
Republican ticket throughout the state
and particularly in southeastern Kan
sas, where he is so well and favorably
known, and where strength is so badly
needed to secure the success of the
grand old Republican party in the
state. Not only is Mr.. Hamilton
worthy and deserving of this nominal
ton but Cherokee county is justly and
honestly entitled to a place on the Re
publican state ticket and will make
a winning fight for the same
