Belfast Endorsement is What Counts
with the Belfast Public

You can't fool the public all the time,
They will find you out at last.
Every time a man is fooled
Another skeptic is made
MANY the remedy that makes the skeptic,
Because it fails to keep its promises.
Doans Kidney Pills bring renewed reward.
They cure the skeptic.
Plenty of proof of this at home.
Belfast proof for Belfast people.
Here's a of it:
MIR. C. ii. Chamberlain, 1856 High street, over
Primrose Hill says: 81 had kidney complaint for
years, in fact my back never very strong. 1t
the kidneys, particularly noticeable in the morn
ing for an hour or two just after got up. l am
quite heavy man and if stood any length of
time my back felt tired and sore. Then at my
work, getting in and out of a carriage often
and riding over rough roads does not help lame
back. If l caught cold it always settled in my
lons, and then a weakness of the kidney secre-
tions was apparent very annoying day or night.
used plasters more or less, but they only helped
the pain when on. saw Doan's Kidney Pills adj
vertised and 1 got box at Kilgore & Wilson's
improvement continued as continued the treat
ment. The pain was much relieved and was less
annoyed with the kidney secretions."
Doan's Kidney Pills sold for fifty cents per
box by all dealers or will be mailed on receipt of
price by Foster. Miburn Co., Buffalo, N. Y, sole
agents for the United States.

Mr.. and Mrs. Corrigan.
MISS IONA CORRIGAN, age 20.
MISS IDA MAY CORRIGAN, aged
is years.
MISS ETTA CORRIGAN, aged 1S.
BABY REILLY.
Mrs. John Corrigan was the only pas
senger that was saved
c. II. Holmes, the captain; Samuel
Biggam the mate; four sailors two
cooks and the ship carpenter were also
saved.
The yacht left port Huron yesterday
with the family of Mr. Corrigan on
board and started for Cleveland Mr..
Corrigan was i'll and left by the train.
AT 2 O'Clock the storm came up and in
side of five minutes the yacht sank.
All the women excepting Mrs John
Corrigan and Miss Eta Corrigan, were
in fhe cabin when the gale came up.
They became panic stricken and re-
fused to leave the place. The me MIN.
plored them to come to the deck. Mrs.
John Corrigan clung to a cork sofa
when the gale came and was saved
When rcscued Mate Biggam said
at was about 2O5 o'clock when the
squall struck US. The yacht laid down
on her beam ends and the water rush

panionways and in three minutes she
sunk. Mrs. James Corrigan, Miss Ida
Corrigan, Mrs. Charles Reilly and the
infant daughter of Mrs. Reilly were
all nthe saloon below when the storm
came. Captain Holmes gave me orders
to take IN sail and I transmitted the
orders to the men. They obeyed quick
ly. The captain, myself and the crew
made efforts to save the women but
without success. / waded into the sa-
loon when the water was nearly up to
my neck, but Mrs. James Corrigan
wiuld not leave. She may have been
rendered incapable of action by fear
and knowledge of impending doom.
An effort was made to take the infant
out but Mrs. Reilly would not let the
child co.
The mate said it was realized that
nothing could be done TO save those in
the cabin and that their attention was
turned to saving those on deck The
latter outside of the captain, mate and
crew, were Mrs. John Corrigan and her
daughter, Miss Eta. TIE captain and
the crew tried to get Mrs. Corrigan
and her daughter upon the cross trees
in the rigging, but the heavy sea
washed us all overheard. For Gods
sake, Mrs. Corrigan, you and your
daughter keep a tight hold of the rig

yelled the sea swept them and us all
overheard. Fortunately Mrs. Corri-
gan had succeeded in taking hold of
n cork lounge. She clung to it and
was saved.
Accoring to the testimony Of sever
al sailors, the top SAIL main sail and
tib were all set when the storm came
up. This is denied by Biggam, who
dclares that they were in good condi-
Tion to face the storm.

Chicago Woman Dead the the Result of
Practical Joke.

Chicago, Ills, Aug. 23.-Mrs. Lillian
Eby, SO2 Sixty-ninth street, was
named in the lists the other day of
those who had died as victims of the
heat. That was an error. 1t was not
the heat that killed her; it was a joke,
innocent in itself, but shifting sharply
to tragedy in its results. a large
doll. recumbent. with its mechanical
eyes closed, and its waXen cheeks the
counterfeit of death, was handed to
Mrs. Eby in place of her own baby.
When she caught sight of its closed
eyes she fell in IA Swoon. and the next
day she died as Il direct result of the
fright.
In this way three families have been
thrown into mourning as the outcome
of what had been intended for a little
fun at the young wife's expense. Mrs.
Eby was but % years old, and it was
her first child. She and her husband.
John \. Ely, have been living for
three years in EnglewOod. near the
residence of Eby's mother. which is
1149 Union avenue. Three months ago
n daughter was born TO them, and they
were preparing to visit Mrs. Eby's old
home in Nappanee, Ind, when the in
cident occurred that proved fatal to
the mother. She had been making
many plans for taking the child to see
its grandparents.

surance Superintendent Van Cleave
has been looking after violations of the
insurance law i'll this state and finds
that the new law, which went into eff
feet July /, 1899. imposing per cent
tax upon gross premiums written in

stood by many companies, or that an
attempt was made to avoid full pay
ment of taxes for premiums written.
Examiners so far have recovered TO the
state upwards of $4,000 in taxes due.
Twelve of fourteen eastern companies
which have no branch office in the state

he will be able to recover TO the state
