Risks His Own Life TO Save That Of
Another.

J. e. Kendall, who saved the life OF
Albert White at the risk of his own
on Friday, July q, while not q soldier
or a fireman or q policeman, lie new
ertheless q hero. Mr. White, who lie
sick, was driving on South Jefferson
street when his buggy was run into
and his horse took fright and ran
away. Mr.. b. O. johnson and others,
who saw Mr.. Kendalrs brave act In
stopping the runaway horse at the
rick Of bis own life, say It was q most
heroic act. AS 1t turned out neither
party va hurt, but If 1t had not been
for Mr. Kendall Mr.. White would have
undoubtedly been killed. Mr., Ken
dali is very modest about the matter
and on being complimented and
thanked for his bravery, says be acted
simply from q sense Of duty and that
he would most surely take the same
chance he did il the matter was to do
over again. You don't have to be on
the "hring line" to be . hero and Mr..
Kendall's modesty makes HE action
that much the more admirable.

Good Qualities Which Put the Stamp
of Excellence Upon This
Article.

There are many reasons why yoE
should s Morrow's Kid-ne- odds In
preference to any other kidney prep
aration. In the first place, Kid-ne.
ODDS are q scientific preparation.
Second, They are in tablet form and
not pills, which is the most scientific
form of putting up medicine; they do
not get hard and pass through the
body whole, but dissolve and take
effect.
Third, There are never any bad eff
fects from their use like there is from
90 per cent. OF other preparations.
Fourth, Most all kidney prepare
tions r filed up with something to
act on the bowels. Morrow's Kid
ne-olds do not act ON the bowels, be-
cause some people 60 not need a
cathartic. They simply need some
thing to act on the kidneys and when
you take any other kidney prepare
ton the bowels are moved perhaps
severely when they should not be
disturbed. There are many other
reasons why Kld-ne-oIds should be
used and these you will find out by
using them. We give you the evidence
Of A. n. ThistIewait, who resides Of
2Oe East Sixth street, Kansas City,
No., and says:
my left kidney seemed to be the
one diseased, as the dull heavy pain
was en- the left side Of my back low
down. Sometimes sharp shooting
pains would pass through my back
like 3 knife; then again I would have
. stitch in my back 90 | could scarcely
move without suffering intense pain.
Rheumatism and urinary troubles
we're also symptoms Of my disease.
Morrow's Kid-ne-oids was the only
remedy that gave me relief. Kid-ne.
ODDS relieved me from the start and
finally conquered the disease, thor
oughIy destroying every symptom of
kidney trouble"
Morrov's Kid-ne-oids are not pills,
but yellow tablets, which is the SCI
entiic form OF preparing medicine.
They are put up in wooden boxes,
which contain enough for about two
weeks treatment and sell for hfty cents
q box at al druggists.

Hitt Loses Another Barn

EA0A4 - 0OAtAA AZ CSaaAIAs
The large stock barn Of Mr., ]. O
Hit, q son A. O. Hitt, Of Mexico,
near town was burned down Saturday
night. It was discovered to be on
fire about 11:2O. Messrs. Challlce
Rose and Charles Paxton were the
first oues to get to the barn after the
electric plant sounded the alarm.
When the boys got there the west
side of the barn was all ablaze and
nothing could be done to save It OF
anything that was In IL. A very large
sheep shed near the barn was saved
by desperate fire fighting.
The loss given by Mr.. Hit lie as fol-
lows:
The barn, $1,000 to sI,1OO; 100 tons
OF hay. $500; 100 to 200 barrels OF
corn, 1876 to $500.
Machinery, including feed troughs,
wheat fan, eorn shelter, etc, from
e2O0 to 500.
Thus the loss will foot up from s2,1Oo
TO $500.
Mr.. Hit has $500 OF insurance Ia q
Mutual company.
The origin Of the FIRE 10 not known.
Mr.. Hit thinks that the FIRE was prob
ably started by some corn thief
striking . match, or some one In the
barn. Another theory is that the hay
heated and natural combustion
caused the fire. Mr.. Hit had bic hay
sailed ana Goes not believe 10 would
have heated 10 &c to burn.
At the time Of tho IRE Mr.. Hits
folks we're visiting IN Mexico and
Orlando being the only

Mr.. Hit desires ne to extend bis
hearty thanks 10 thoss who saved his
large sheep shed. he appreciates
what was done for him very much.
Mr.. Hit will probably build again
before winter.
