Some Topeka People Folly Realize
It Now.

When the back aches from kidney ills
When urinary troubles annoy you,
There's a certain way to find relief.
A sure way to be cured.
Doan's Kidney Pills will do it.
Topeka people endorse this claim:
Mr.. Calvin Brewer, real estate dealer
of 6S5 Jefferson street, says. Ordinary
Anglo-Saxon fails to convey any idea
of what 1 suffered from my back when
on the Texas Pacific r. r., engineer be-
tween Fort Worth and Texarkana-
have often when l stopped to Oil my en-
CINE suffered excruciatingly. and when
on the engine the least jar sent twinges
of pain clean from my loins to the top
of my head. The trouble finally forced
me to give up my position, and when
weakness of the kidneys, particularly
observable at night, was added to for
mer troubles, my condition was not one
to be envied. Now if the first box of
Doan's Kidney Pills procured at Row
ley & Shows drug store, corner OF Sixth
street and Kansas avenue, had not
brought me positive relief, never would
have followed up the treatment, neither
could [ be induced to recommend the
preparation nor endorse its claims.

ions of Doan's Kidney Pills.

Now that the election is over, those
who favor the retention of Cuba by the
government of the United States-and
doubtless there is a host of such per-
sons-may be expected to announces their
views openly and urge them upon the
administration. The Chicago Inter
Ocean is one of the first or the pI'oni-

throw of the mask of concealment by
which its real sentiments have been con-
cealed during the progress Of the cam

Referring to the resolution adopted
by congress disclaiming any intention
of annexing Cuba. the Inter Ocean says:
1.-THE contention of the Inter Ocean
has been from the first that congress
adopted this resolution in the belief that

eminent and an army of almost suffi-
cient size to fight her own battles It
is well known that when our troops
landed in Cuba they found no organized
government and no army worthy of the
