A DOCTOR THIS TIME.

Portland, May 6th.-Dr. Il. A. Rose,
a practising physician, formerly Of
Yates Center, Kans., was on what
everyone supposed was his death
bed He had Diabetes, and six of
his brother doctors We're in attend
ance and consultation at his bedside
They had done everything that medi-
cal skill could suggest to save his life,
but they were at last reluctantly forced
to tell him that he must prepare for
death.
His aunt had been summoned to his
dying bedside After the doctors had
given her nephew up, she insisted that
as last resort, he be given a treat
ment Of Dodd's Kidney Pills.
From the very first dose, the tide
turned in his favor. His life was
saved. and he is hale and hearty to-
day.
This case and its cure has amazed
the physicians. and is the sensation Of
the hour. 1t is interesting to note
that while many others are being
cured this great discovery in medi-
cine, the physicians themselves are
among the first to benefit, and that
while the simpler and more prevalent
forms, such as Rheumatism, Sciatica,
Bladder and Urinary Trouble and Fe-
male Weakness disappear before it,
the more malignant forms, such as
Bright's Disease, Diabetes and Dropsy,
which have always been regarded as
incurable, are yielding just as easily.
Dodd's Kidney Pills are fast super
ceding all other treatment for Kidney
Disease, and as nearly all human sick
ness and suffering has its origin in the
Kidneys, the use of this wonderful
medicine is becoming almost universal.

WORLD 10 GROWING BETTER.
Facts and Figares That Ought to stagger
the Pessimlsts.

There is a more general feeling now
than formerly that the world is grow
ing better instead OF worse. Optimists
certainly have pretty substantial bas-
Is for thinking so when the financial
statistics OF the church work going
on in every community are considered
According to the latest figures obtain
able from the religious bodies, IL is
found that the annual expenditure for
Christian churches throughout the
world is a little over $1,000, 100000. IL
is impossible to conceive that any con-
siderable portion of this large sum is
being wasted The hospitals, orphan
ages, new churches, institutions and
missions must be productive of good
results, and therefore lettering the
masses. In the United States last year
the cost of maintaining Christian in
terests is reported as being nearly
$500 100000, says the Boston Globe. In
round numbers the Catholics head the
list with $31 900, 900, then come the
Methodlsts, $26,0OO,O00 Presbyterians,
500 600, 900; Episcopalians, $4,000, 900;
Baptists, $12,OOO,OOO and so on, down
to the Salvation Army, with $3.50 900.
Other important items are new build
ings, etc. 100000; hospitals, $685.
100000; education, $21 100000, and
Sunday schools, $7,O0O,000. What a
contrast is presented between the
above amounts and the fact that in
1900 the value of the 2,340 churches
in America was $1,500,0O0. Today we
have in this country 1877, churches,
with value of 1924, 971,372. Every re-
ligious denomination seems to be MAX
ing good progress in its work, and the
world cannot help being better for it..

Bank Messenger Missing.

New York, Oct. 1S.-George Armit-
age, a messenger at the New Amster-

Tuesday last. When he disappeared,
he had with him $4,000 in checks
and drafts. According to the Com

been foully dealt with.
On Tuesday Armitage went out to
collect on checks and drafts received
by his bank, they being variously
state at from $50, 900 to 100000.
He failed to return to the bank. and
has not been seen since.

ing all the missing checks and drafts
except So, 996.5S, which may be ac-
tual cash or negotiable paper.

Mrs. Dalton to Plead for Son.

Topeka, Kan, Oct. 1S.-Mrs. Dal-
ton, mother OF Emmett Dalton, the
outlaw, who has asked to beparoled,
will appear before Governor Stanley
when the case comes up for a hearing
and plead for her sons liberty. Mrs.
Dalton, it is said, is a good talker
and as she has a deeper interest in
Emmett Dalton than any other per-
son it is expected that she will make
the best speech of the day.
1t is understood that great stress
will be laid upon the fact that En-
nett did not fire a shot in the COffey-
vile raid. 1t will be argued that as
he was led into the crime as boy of
10 BY his older brothers, and as he
made no effort to hurt anybody, or
escape after the fight commenced, the
ten years he has been in the peniten-
tiary is sufficient punishment for the
Offense
1t is reported at the governors Of
flee that a showing will be made by
opponents of the parole application
that Emmett Dalton participated in
the fight, fired his rifle several times
and shot one man.
