Mr.. E. A. Holt, of 119 East Court
street, in the insurance business says:
Il had occasion to use Doan's Kidney
Pills for one of the symptoms of kid
ney complaint for which they are rec
commended. II had not obtained pos
tive results from their use l would
not have any confidence in the claims
made for them,5 neither would
recommend them to my fellow citizens
of Ottumwa. My advice based on ac-
tual experience is, If anyone suffered
from inactivenor weakened kidneys do
as did, go to VIII L. Sargent's drug
store, procure Doan's Kidney Pills,
take them as directed and they will
endorse that prearation as heartily
as l."

with these blocks are fit for occupation

AMEND LIBEL LAW
VIII Permit Persons to Recover Only
Actual Damages,

Topeka, Kan. Feb. Ex-senator Fitz-
patricks libel bill which permits the IN
jured party to recover only actual dam
ages passed the house yesterday by a
vote of IS to l. The only person who
voted against the bill in either house was
a man named Jones from Cove county,
who had not been heard from before this
session.
The bill provides:
IF it shall appear on the trial Of any
action that said lfbelous article was pub
lished in good faith, that its falsity was
due to mistake or misarprehension of the
facts and that full and fair retrachon
of any statement therein contained, al
legged to be erroneous, was published in
the next regular issue of said newspaper,
provided, that the provisions Of this act
shall not apply to the case Of any libel
against any candidate for a public Office
in this state unless the retraction is made
editorially in q conspicuous manner at
least three days before election, in case
such libelous article was published in a
daily paper; and in case such libeous ar
ticle was published in a weekly OF month
~ paper, at least ten days before the
election; provided further, that nothing in
this act shall be held to apply to any libel
published Of or concerning any female
person."

ture. The amendment will be voted on at
the general election for state officers in
z90a.
1t is provided that members shall be al
lowed $500 for each regular session. For
special sessions they are to receive S per
day. But the limit is fixed at $50. This
amounts to limiting regular sessions to
100 days and specials to 50 days.
The bill came from the house with a
provision that the mileage should remain
at the present rate Of 10 cents per mile
each way, but Senator Morrows nation
10 reduce it TO cents was adopted The
senators agreed that the present pay was
ridiculously low and that the increase
was reasonable. but they could see no
excuse for making the mileage higher
passenger fare.
The present system has been generally
objected TO because it did not make the
compensation of members equal. Some Of
the eastern Kansas members have prac-
tically no mileage but represent constitu-
encies which have large interests at stake
which require close and patient conhne-
ment to their duties.
On the other hand there are western
members who have very small population
in their districts who receive nearly as
much mileage as they do salary. The de-
mands Of their constituents are so light
that they have practically nothing to do
This inequality is corrected by this
amendment which gives only enough
mileage to pay actual travelling expenses.
