LINCOLN HOME DECAYING.
Members of the Legislature Report It
in Need of Prompt Repairs.

Springfield, I'LL, March ia number
of the members of the legislature have
been inofficially investigating the con-
ditiOn of the Lincoln home. They find
it in need of prompt and extensive re-
pairs. The floors are sunken in many
places, cross beams are badly cracked
and portions of the joists are broken
off The stills are in a decayed condition
and the entire house trembles before
a very slight wind. Owing to defective
heating apparatus there is constant fear
of fire.
During the past year Is, 900 people
have visited the home. The tread of so
many visitors has added greatly to the
wear and tear on the house. The con-
dition of the house is ascribed to the
lack Of an appropriation for the proper
maintenance of the place.
The Lincoln home was decided to the
state by Robert 7. Lincoln in 1887, one
of the conditions of the deed being that
the house should be kept by the state in
good repair. 1t is probable that the leg
islature will make an appropriation for
such improvements as will insure the
proper preservation of the home for
many years to come.

TO KIDNEY SUFFERERS.
An Opportunity Worthy
of Your Notice.

If you suffer with kidney disease or
any ailment arising from an improper
action of the kidneys or urinary organs,
this offer we make to the people of To-
peka should interest you. In the ad-
vancement of medical science, the kid
neys being almost the organs of the
greatest Importance to human health,
have not been neglected, and in placing
before you such a cure as Doan's Kid
ney Pills, the proprietors recognize how
far so many statements of the makers
of similar preparations have fallen short
of their claims, being convinced that no
remedy for kidney complaints in exist
ence equals Doan's Kidney Pills for
such ailments; strengthened in these
convictions by letters that are daily re-
ceived of the work they are doing for
mankind's benefit, old backs and young
backs are being constantly freed from
never ceasing aches, and many a lame
and shattered one, stopped and con-
tracted, is strengthened, inVigOrated and
infused with new life. With such a
medicine an offer of this kind can be
made without hesitancy, for while we
lose the box we give to you, we make a
friend that assists US in the sale of
many others.

der the direction Of Captain J. w. Pope,

north of the prison. The trees had just
commenced to bear, and their destruc-

The prison grounds comprise a reser-

from the day of the establishment OF
the military prison an 1875, until transfer

justice in 1895, has a large area of bot

their kind of gardening, and inasmuch

stroy the orchard and use the land for
a garden.

present prison lands and property there
on will be turned over to the military

completed, the wanton destruction of so
many fine fruit trees is said to be a
