The Rife brigade. with its splendid rec

ty-seven years that elapsed between Wa

the Goa. into which his impetuous spirit
led him to imperil his force against the
whole French army. on that day the
Rifles alone lost twelve officers and thir-
ty-six men, a parallel with some of Our
recent fights In South Africa. Again,
there was a sanguinary fight in the pass
of Vera; another combat which was al
most exclusively a rifemen's affair was
that at Tarbes, in 1874. when l5eo of them
drove a French division out of a strong
position and again lost twelve officers,
with eiehty-one men killed and wounded.
In the whole campaign the Ninty-fifth

practicing athletics and training them to
march and move rapidly. The corps had
also the advantage Of being under the

DOCTORS GIVE FIGURES.
Committee Investigating the Pauper CUES
ton Makes Report to Association.

At the request of certain members
of the Kenosha County Medical Asso-
citation we print today the report of
the committee recently appointed to
investigate the statements made by
the mayor and aldermen to the effect
that the city physicians had over
charged the city for caring for the
poor.
The committee was composed of
Drs. Windesheim and Jorgensen, and
their report as furnished by the sec
rotary of the society is as follows:
GA special meeting of the Kenosha
County Medical Association was held
at the office of DR.. Jorgensen Thurs
day evening at which time the COM
mittee appointed to collect all the bills
presented to the city for medical serv-
ices were laid before the society.
sit was shown that ten doctors had
been engaged during the year in min
istering to the city poor.
ga large number of diseases were
treated, of which we will mention but
a few, such as: Influenza, castro euter-
AI4Ss dCAC14u111 lLC1I1CuS,
pneumonia, fractures of bones, con-
sumption, uterine hemorrhage, ner-
vous prostration, malaria fever, heart
disease, cancer of liver, typhoid fever,
meningitis, and a number of ,others
including large number of minor all
ments attended to at the different ply
sician's offices.
''In attending to the above work the
doctors made 428 visits, for which the
city paid $367.5O while the regular fee
would have amounted to $642. One
hundred seven office consultations and
ninety-two special treatments were
given for $151.5O, while the regular fee
would have brought it up to $19O.25.
''The total cost to the city for medi-
cal services for the year ending May
1, 1900, has been $495.25. For the cor
responding space of time for the year
previous it was $4,000
''The society concluded from the
above facts that some one had mis-
represented the matter to the Mayor
when he made the statement that some
of the doctors had robbed the city.
GA list of the bills from all the diff
ferent druggists who had furnished
medicines to the city poor, showed a
total of $3.50 for 1898, and $22O.65 for
the past year.

BURDENS ARE MANY.

Kenosha Citizens have Their Share.

Some people have more than their
share.
Pretty hard to bear the burdens Of a

It's aches and pains make you niser-

Most backache pains come from sick

Must cure the kidneys to cure the
back.
Doan's Kidney Pills will do it.
Lots of Kenosha proof that this is so.
Read what citizen says.
Mr.. ]. c. Wheeler, of $40 Superior
ST., Racine, janitor at the First Con-
gregationa1 church, says: 81 procured
two boxes of Doan's Kidney Pills, used
them according to directions and I can
recommend them as valuable and re-
liable remedy. The symptom of kid
ney complaint which caused me the
most trouble was a lame back. 1t
panied me great deal and was often
so bad that could hardly get around
to attend to my work. Whenever 1
caught cold it was worse. l had other
symptoms which proved beyond doubt
that my kidneys were at fault, and 1
was naturally anxious to check the
trouble. The first box of Doan's Kid
ney Pills relieved me very much, and
by the time had finished two my kid
neys and general health were better
than for long whi1e.''
Just such emphatic endorsement can
be had right here in Kenosha. Drop
