A PORTLAND MAN
Gives Some Very Decided Opinions ON
an Interesting Local Question.

The following public statement given
by citizen Is true in every particular
ENQUIRY is courtsd-tbe more doubt, the
more need for conclusive. convincing
proof Portland people have positive
proof in the opinions held and the expe-
riences passed through by scores of we'll
known citizens. This resident of Port
land only re-echoes the sentiments ex-
pressed daily in this newspaper by local
citizens.
MIR. r. W. Taylor, with DR.. F. How
land, dentist. Baxter Block, says: Il
value Doan's Kidney Pills exceedingly.
For four years l suffered from almost
constant, dull aching in my back, result
ing from the kidneys not performing
their functions properly. This trouble is
one of the most insidious that physicians
have to deal with, and many obscure
cases are wrongly diagnosed, enabling
the disease to gain hold, not easily
overcome. / awakened to my error in
neglecting my trouble when l found the
symptoms growing more persistent and
severe The remedies l used did not prove
suitable in my case. My attention was
called to Doan's Kidney Pills. and pro-
cured a box at II. II. Hay & Sons drug
store, used 1t and was soon benefited.
After completing the treatment the
trouble disappeared, and have reason to
believe permanently.

There was lots of fun last night in the
where Gentry's Dog and Pony Show is CIV
ing performances this week. Every seat I'M
der the big stretch Of canvas was filed and
merry peals of laughter We're Interrupted
only by expressions of establishment and
admiration at the truly wonderfully clever
tricks turned by the dog, pony, elephant
and monkey actors. The performance is
one of the most entertaining ever seen
under tent and is pleasing alike to grown
folks and children. The animals are al
ways in the very best condition. Their
training has been diligent and extended,
and 1t seems there is nothing too difficult
for the intelligent members of the troupe
to tackle. Their acts are arranged to
amuse the audience as well as astonish
them, and in this way spectators and en-
tertainers are soon on the best Of terms.
1t would be well nigh impossible to go into
the details of the performance. The turns
are numerous and many are in progress
simultaneously. Clown dogs are always
lurking near looking for mischief and con-
stantly provoking shouts of laughter and
delight by their comical antics. From the
opening number, a pony drill. to the clos
ing act, q fire scence, in which the ponies
draw fire engine manned by monkeys
and dog firemen, the fun is continuous and
the interest undated. The last act Is espe-
cially q feature, and in 1t many dogs are
rescued from hery peril by their fellow
by the baby elephants and display Of
intelligence by the ponies all so to make
up a merry performance. There will be
exhibitions twice daily, one In the after
noon and another In the evening During
the remainder OF the week.
