Good Qualities That Put the Stamp
of Excellence Upon This
Article,

There are many reasons why you
should take Morrow's Kid-ne-Oids i'm
preference to any other kidney prep
aration. First, Kid-ne-oids are a
scientific preparation. Second, They
are tablets, which is the scientific
form OF preparing medicine. Third,
There are never any bad after effects
from their use. Fourth, They act
directly upon the kidneys; they are
strictly a kidney cure and nerve
tonic. Fifth, You do not have to quit
work while using Kid-ne-oids. A
30 cent box containes enough for
about two weeks treatment. Peo-
pie use kid-ne-oids, because they
cure kidney ailments.

have been very much distressed with
pain across the small of my back for

pain would extend down into my hip
joints which supposed to be lum-
bago. 1 also had other symptoms of
disordered kidneys; L heard about
MOrrow's Kid-ne-oids and decided to
try them. 1 was surprised to find
myself greatly relieved of my troub-
les and their continued use has COM
pletely cured me-"

At The Grand.

One of the strongest combinations
touring this season has been secured
as the attraction at the Grand Opera
house next Wednesday night The
company referred 20 is headed by
Miss Marie Lamour, heretofore II
prominent and attractive member of
Augustin Daly's New York COM
pany. The play through which Miss
Lamour will be introduced to our
thester-gOers is Wilfred Clarke's
great London comedy success, "A
Wise Woman" Miss Lamour and
her company has been accorded the
highest praise everywhere they have
appeared and it is claimed for them
that they take Il high position among
the standard metropolitan attrac-
tions of the day.
Frederic Murphy, whose splendid
talents are well known to many pa
irons of the drama, and who, last
season. occupied the important posi-
tion of leading man for Julia Mar
lowe, has been engaged to appear in
the same capacity with Miss L;-
mour's organization. The balance
of the supporting company are said
to be of an equally high order of
merit. Mr.. Clarke, who did the
staging of his comedy when it was
put on at the Strand theater in Lon
don, where it ran for 23S nights, has
looked after this important detail
for Miss LamOur.

Here William Redmond, Parnellite
member for East Clare, shouted:
1.-The Transvaal did not blow up your

Mr.. Chamberlain continued: The
great, almost determining contest be-
tween the United States and Spain was
fought without the loss of a single
American. We have never denied that
the Transvaal was a foenlan worthy of
our steel. Not only was the disparity
between the forces i'll the Spanish
American war as great as those now
engaged, but the contention of the
United States and their right of inter
ference arose from the fact chat at some
distance from their territories there

that justified the Intervention of the

BRUSSELS, Oct. 26.-King Leopold,
after having done all in his power to
prevent the coming marriage of his
daughter. the Crown Princess Ste-
phanie of Austria to Count Lonyai,
threatens TO deprive her in future of the
annual allowance which both she and
her sister have until now received from
him.
The king has been out of humor ever
since he learned that the crown princess
had resolved to contract a morganatic
marriage. The combined efforts of the
Belgium and Austrian courts to break
off the betruthal have proven in vain.
By marrying Count Loryai the crown
princess will not only lose her fathers
favor, but she will also be deprived OF
the important position which she holds
in the Austrian empire.

NjLg'S HASTY FLIGHT.
Even General Symons Believed

BRITISH PUBLIC In THE DARK.
Due to War Office Cooking Dispatches.
Certain Junction of Forces Has Oc-

LONDON, Oct. 26.-An ominous veil
was drawn over the movements of

General Yule in Natal. Beyond be.

Of General Yule's retreat. That it was
hasty is evident. Was it disorderly
Was any considerable camp equipment

like them the public is anxiously ask.
ing. Since the receipt of General
Whites curious first description of the
Ladysmith fight, in which the British
lost 100 men, little reliance can be
placed ON the Official dispatches. While
the concealment of the facts regarding
General Yule's retreat can be amply
justified on the ground Of keeping the
intelligence from the Beers the hiding
of tine news respecting the Hussars and
Fusihers, who were apparently cap
turea in the battle at Glencoe, ishs Sc
vereiy criticised, no intimation even
having been given that the offers were
missing.
