4 STARTLING STORY
TOLD BY A KANSAS CITY
NEWS AGENT.
In an Interview He Relates How He Ar
complished what Many Others
Have Failed to Do

Jack Williams, of No. 401 Della
ware street, says the Kansas City
Mo-, Journal, is we'll known as an en-
terprising news agent and thorough
ly reliable man. He had been a SUI
ferer from kidney trouble and endured
much pain from it until recently
when he tried DR.. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People and with such
success that within a short time he
was entirely and permanently cured.
To reporter he said:
"For two years / had pains in the
back constantly, causing me serious
inconvenience. But | did not at
tempt to do anything for my COM
plant until the lattor part of lass
winter, when | saw an advertisement
of DR.. Williams Pink Pills for
Pale People and decided to see what
they would do for me. I was relieved
within one week after | began taking
them; the pains disappeared and so
complete was the cure that | have
not found it necessary to take furthe,
treatment nor have | been troubles
at all by the disease since. "
Kidney complaint is an insiduoua
disease. First come almost unuoticed
pains in the back and some slight in
convenience. The pains grow gradu-
ally worse and the inconvenience
greater till finally, if not given medi-
cal treatment, the person suffers awful
torture aid becomes unfit to follow
his ordinary occupation. Blood pois-
oning sets in, the constitution Ia
wrecked and death often results.
Mr.. William stock the one unfailing
remedy and was readily cured within
few weeks. His statement was
sworn to before Lionel Noise, no.
tary public, and the facts above will
bear the most searching investigation.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale
People will not only effect cure In
cases similar to the one above, but,
acting directly upon the blood and
nerves, are an unfailing specific foi
such diseases as locomotor ataxia, par
tial paralysis, St. Vitus' dance, sci.

Deficient in Dead Languages.

Cardinal Pedro Gonzalez was pious
man who believed in the gospel of
peace. He noticed one day that
priest in his train carried a short sword
under his cloak. The cardinal reproved
him, saying that a cleric should not
carry arms.
True" answered the priest humbly,
"but carry the weapon only to defend
myself should be attacked by dog"
I'm that case," said the cardinal,
land if l saw a dog running toward
me- l should begin to recite the Gospel
of John"
That" returned the priest, would
be wise thing indeed, but may it not
be that there are some dogs that do not
understand LatinY'-Youth's Com
paniOn.

Louisville, KY, July 2S.-ln a fire
which early this morning destroyed the
property of the Bagley-Graham Photo
graphic Supply company Max Belovitch,
a cigarmaker and Policeman James Pru-
den were burned to death in an effort to
rescue women and children who occupied
rooms above the store. Shortly before
midnight terrific explosion awakened
everybody in the neighborhood, and
among the first to reach the street in
front of the building on Jefferson street,
near Fourth, and adjoining the offices OF
the Associated Press, was Max Belovitch,
a cigarmaker, living across the street.
Hardly had the first explosion died away
before he had dashed up the stairs in
answer to a woman's screams. About the
time he reached the second floor he must
have fallen, for when picked up a few
moments afterward his right side was
burned to a crisp. Police Officer james
Pruden was found ON the third floor sui
located, and seven firemen were taker
from the ruins. Some of them will prob
ably die.
1t is rumored that six or seven persons
lost their lives in the building, but this
cannot be verified at this hour Severn
are reported missing, and may be in thu
ruins.
The fire spread with such rapidity tina
even the fire fighters were nOnplussed
When the first crash came there wa
nothing but smoke, but in a moment tn
place was a veritable furnace from foo
to roof. Loss, about $4,000.
