This Should Convince the Most Skeptical
Resident Of Augusta.

There is only one medicinal prepara-
ton on the market which gives local
proof about the representations made
for it. There is only one which inter-
views residents of Augusta in 1896,
published statements regarding their
cures, and procured confirmation OF
those interviews considerably over two
years and a half after their first publ
cation. That remedy is Doan's Kidney
Pills. Read this:
Mrs. ThOs. o. Pease. of 10 Gage St,
says: 1.-The lapse of time, and it is
now over two years and a half since
Mr.. Pease took a course Of the treat
ment prescribed by Doan's Kidney
Pills, was cured, and allowed his state
ment to be published in our Augusta
papers, I repeat lapse Of time has only
proven that Doan's Kidney Pills are a
remarkable remedy, and that the cures
effected by them are radical. Mr..
Pease and myself will be only too
p.ea.sad 10 confirm the opinions ex-
pressed above in personal interviews"

MAHER WHIPS DUNKHOKST.
No Chance 10 Win So Latter Deliberately
Loses on a Foul.

Syracuse, n. Y, Oct 23.-Ed Dunk
horst of Syracuse, lost to Peter Maher
in the seventh round of what was to
have been a 10-round so before the
Monarch Athletic Club here. tonight, on
a foul The rules stipulated that the
men should break clean at the COM
mand of the referee. When Dunk
horst saw that he was bound to be
whipped he deliberately violated this
rule and after repeated warnings Ref
cree Charley White gave the decision to
Maher.
The SyracuSean never had chance.
He was completely Outpointed by
Maher. who gave him a terrific pum-
melting Maher had little difficulty in
reaching Dunkhorst's face and chin as
he pleased, but could not put him out.
The fighting was not very hot until
the sixth round, when Maher opened up
with a volley of swings and jabs that
would have put an end to the fight
then and there had his opponent been
a less tough man than Dunkhorst.
Ed could offer no defence and began
catching Makers glove under his arm
after every blow. He refused to stop
when ordered to do so and so lost the
decision.

among those who arrived on the first
trains and assisted in bringing order
out of chaos.
The freight train was in charge Of
Conductor Atkins and Engineer Egan.
The former was in the caboose and had
sent his rear brakeman out when the
shock of the collision was felt. From
his position in the caboose he could
see that the train had parted. but he
hoped the forward section would pull
away and allow the rear to ride out
the impetus in safety. This probably
would have been the case had not a
broken draw bar fallen so as to derail
the first car of the rear section.
Engineer Egan believes that the ac-
cident would have been slight had not
the broken draw bar fallen over the
track Dinner was served to about 100

He and other neighbors assisted in the

BOLD BURGLARY.
Enough Guns Stolen to Stock an
Arsenal


Arsenal.
Saturday night burglars entered the
store of the Ell Paso Cycle company on
Mesa avenue and made off with four
shot guns and four Winchestere.
An entrance was forced through the
front window. which was pried open
with crow bar. This window opens
on the street and the only wonder is
that some policeman or passer by was
not attracted by the noise, or bad not
seen the miscreants while they were at
work.
After getting the window up one
man entered the store and going dir
ectly to rack in which there were
i've shOtguns and four Winchester
rifles took out four of the guns and all
OF the rifles and handed them through
the window to his pal on the outside.
Two of the guns were hammerless and
two of the old style. The tots value
OF the goods stolen would foot up. it is
estimated. to about $50.
1t is believed that the burglary was
committed sometime between IL 300
clock p. m. and q. NJ, for one of the
proprietOrs of the store did Dot go
home until 11:3O and when Frank Carr
went by at q. m. he noticed that the
light usually kept burning in the store

something was wrong but bad no idea
that burglars had been getting in their
work.
No arrests have yet been made and
there is no clue to the identity of the
burglass.
