Cotton Strike in Canada Shows Race
Feeling.

MONTREAL, Oct. 26.-There are on
duty at Valley Field, guarding the ex-
tension works of the Dominion Cotton
Company, % officers and 35S non-com-
misSioned officers and men of the Royal
Scots, Victoria Rifles and Garrison Ar
tillery, augmented by a bearer corps.
The Victoria Rifles have a Maxim gun.
The sending of reinforcements was de-
cided on last night, after the first de-
taChment of the Royal Scots had come
into collision with the strikers, resulting
in nine of their men being wounded.
The Scots We're at the mercy of the
strikers, as Colonel lbbetson was un-
able to find a magistrate who would
read the riot act.
The officers had to content them
selves with firing their revolvers into
the air. In the meantime the men were
the targets for fusilade of stones and
other missiles. The town is largely
French Canadian and has at all times
been hotbed of race hatred, Culminat-
ing in trouble recently over the employ
ment of Egan in the mills, where there
are some 1000 employees paid by Eng

trouble is on account of a refusal to
meet the demand for more pay for the
men working on the construction of n
new mill, the strike has all the appear
ance of assuming the old position of
race hatred, fuel being added TO the

FACTS ARE STUBBORN.

II Honolulu People Are Not Con
WINGED by Local Testimony They
Differ From Other People
Our readers will have noticed how In
the past two years Cures" have multi
piled in the newspapers very fast, and
the public are becoming skeptical.
Facts are demanded, but it has also
become essential to know who sup
plies these facts, where they are from.
People will not now accept incredible
cures from the other side Of the world.
They want them at home. Give us
some neighbor, then l will believe" ls
what is asked for. Doan's Backache
Kidney Pills do this. Call it what you
like, home, local or neighbours testi-
mony, you can always ascertain the
truth of 1t without leaving the city
limits. Here is case:
Mr.. w. ]. Maxwell of this town, Tru-
ant officer, writes thus: II suffered
with horrible pain in the small of
my back (an almost invariable symp-
tom of kidney trouble) for a number
of years. l was advised to take some
of Doan's Dackache Kidney Pills, and
| following the suggestion, l went to the
Hollister Drug Co.'s store, Fort street,
and got some of these. Having taken
hem, they relieved me straight away,
and are, may say, the best and In fact
the only cure for backache. have
mentioned the virtue of this wonderful
remedy to several persons, among
whom is my friend, Mr. Frank Metcalf,
who found relief, and he Is now firm
believer in Doan's Backache Kidney
Pills"
Some of the symptoms OF kidney dis
ease are pain in the back, and sides,
headaches, nervousness, frequent
thirst, hot dry skin, shortness Of
breath, evil forebodlngs, troubled
sleep, pufiness OF the eyelids, swelling
OF the feet and ankles, loss OF flesh,
dark colored urine, deposits, etc. II
you have any OF these symptoms you
should lose no time In treating them,
for delay is dangerous.
Doan's Backache Kidney Pills are
sold by all chemists and storekeepers
at 80 cents per box. six boxes $3.50. or
will be mailed on receipt OF price by
the Holllster Drug Co. Honolulu,
