We ask you to believe what we say
about Morrow's Kid-ne-oids because
we publish only facts. We are honest
in all our statements and we prove
our claim by respectable people. C..
Creiger, of Ottawa, gives his testi-
monv in favor of Morrow's Kid-ne-
oids just the same as many in Illinois
have done. Here is what he says:
Il had to give up my business just
on account of my back. My back was
so weak that it hurt me to use my
hammer, for it set every set of mus
cles into action and the cording of
them hurt the weak and tender kid
news. / had doctors, and L used kid
ney pills and many kidney remedies,
but they gave me no relief and my
case was pronounced incurable by the
physicians. / heard OF Morrow s
Kid-ne-oids. which l got and used ac-
cording to directions. l have gained
wonderfully since using them. L feel
almost well and am sure 1 will be in
few weeks. Morrow's Kid-ne-oids
have done for me what doctors and
kidney pills have failed to do. They
have made my back strong and put
my kidneys in good condition.
Kid-ne-oids are not pills, but yellow
tablets, which is scientific form of
preparing of medicine. They cure
all kidney ailments. They are put
inunsvooden ilboNes which contain
enough for about two weeks treat

This actiCn is taken because another bid of 10 per cent additional over the last has been made, and it rests with the court to confirm the sale or order another.

DREYFUS DECISION AT HAND
Belief Thai inc Verdict Will Be That
 Dreyfus Was Not Prov en Guilty.

Paris, Jan. 22.-The termination ot the inquiry intJ the Dreyfus case by the court of cessation is imminent
 The Matin and the Gaulofs express belief that the verdict will be that a tIaitcr existed, but tha5 1t was not proved that the traitor was Dreyfus, who will consequently be sent to an other court martial for trial. The Main says that DreyfUs believes that the revision of his case was due to the eXertiOus of the general staff, and that he has even thanked General de BCisdeffre and his fo mer comrades in the army for their efforts in his behalf.
 NJ. de B5aurepaire, writing to the EClo de Paris, expresses the opinion that Thursdays doDate in the chamber Cf deputies renders it impossible for the oJu:'t of cessation to proclaim Drey- tus innocent.
 The court of cessation has again ex- amined eX-Lieutenant-Col du Paty de Clam.
 It is stated that the court will be asked to give decision upon the uues- ticn whether Col. Picquart shall be held under civil or military jurisdic- ton.

FOREIGN CONVERGE
The Record of All Former Years
 Goes GIimmering.

Washington, Jan. 22.-(Special J. The story Of the foreign commarce Of 1898 is now complete. Its exports are the largest in our history, is imports the smallest since 1885, although the consuming population is now B per cent greater than at that time. And as if 'uO emphasize the great work of this greatest year, the month of De- cember made for itself the highest record Of exports ever made by any month in our history. The total ex- ports Cf December were $137, ,847 AS and of the full calendar year S1254,- 925, 169. Only fwc, Carrier calendar years crossed tte billion dollar line, that of 1897 having been $1.099, ,709, ,0i5, and 1896 $1,005, ,857241. The largest record of any month pricr t3 that just ended was that of November, 1898, which was $129, ,780,014, while only six teen months in cur history ever cross ed the enc hundred million dollar line in exportS. Three months Cf the cal endtar- year 1891 and three m-nths of the calendar year 1896 showed expor.s in excess of enc hundred million dcl- lars, four months in 1897, while six of the twelve mcnths of 1898 showed ex- ports of more than one hundred mil lien dollars each, and the full year
 
 lion dollars for it's entire twelve mon.hs.
 The imports of the year aEe as ret able as the exports, EUt fer reverse reasons, being the smalIe.t since 1885, although the consuming population g, as above indicated, B per cent grea .er than at that time. They amount to only $663, 3,664, ,634. against S742 623 893 in 1891 Thus the year shows an in crease Of mere than 15O millica Go.- lars in exports, giving by far the larg- est excess Of exports ever known in our commerce.
 The total excess Of expcr Of mer- chandise is S621, ,26O, ,535, against $357.- O90, ,914 in 1897, which YVES the highest record prior to 1898.
 The larges5 exports in cur hstcry, coupled with tha unusually smsll i'm ports, were naturally accOmp3n:e1 by the largest net impoItaticn1 Cf gold. The total gccd Appropriations for the year were $15S, S,036, ,252, ard the tctal

THE PROSPECT IN THE HOUSE

Washington, Jan. 22.-The time Of the house this week, excepting tomc.- row, which has been set aside for he consideration tcf District Of Columbia business, will be devoted to the army reorganiz@tfon bill. The cons iderati ion '-f this bill, which is regarded as pre- eminently the most important general measure to come before congress at this session. has been delayed by the illness of Chairman Hull Of the mili- tary affairs committee. He has re- d0vered sufficiently to pilot the meas ure, however, and the f3ouse has for mally agreed to take up its CcnsidaIa- tion on Tuesday, The debate promises to be beth interesting and impcn ant, as it will raise all questions inW0IveA in increasing our standing army to 100000 men as proposed by the bill, to- gather with our whole future policy relative ti-I the terr.Ecry acquired in the recent war with Spain. There ex- ists wide variety Of rcpiniCns upon the proposition tc increase the stand ing army It has a strong majority of republicans behind it. and it comes into the house with the endorsement Of the presidents message practically Gs an administration measure.

ican president? It will be the begin ming of the end tC cur great career as a nation when it cannot be said.
 But the solution of the problems which confront us is not with the pres idems. When the treaty is ratified no policy can be adopted without the sanction Of congress. And the whole American people will determine. through their representatives what re- lat:cns we shall sustain to the Phjl- ippines. Shall we hc,d the sovereignty in trust fer their people, as we will do in Cuba, or shall we, with their con- sent, establish a prctectCr3 ate over them as we will in the island Of PoTt1 Rico? All these important questions will Iccperly come up for datermin1 ton after the ratification of the treaty.
 "I will not entertain the fear that the American people will not stand by {he constitution and the declaration Of independence; that they will ret curb the ambition of territorial aggradize- ment and exhibit to the world an eX- ample of moderation, justice and self restraint that will be worth to us in moral strength mere than a 1 the islands cf the seas.'
