Mineral Springs.

Mr.. John w. Rice, carpenter, living
near Mineral Springs, says: 81 en-
dorse the claims made for Doan's Kid
ney Pills, for the following reasons:
For years l had kidney complaint,
characterized by persistent and most
distressing pain across the loins and
in and through the kidneys. Now, if
the first box of Doan's Kidney Pills,
procured at Will L. Sargent's drug
store, had not produced positive eff
fects, never would have followed the
treatment further by purchasing five
boxes, neither would l have advised
my wife to use the medicine. She,
like myself, had attacks of kidney
complaint, and like myself she obtain
ed from the use of Doan's Kidney
Pills results equally as encouraging.
To say that we both endorse this val
liable preparation feebly expresses
our estimation of it..

UNWILLING SERVICE
Ottunwa Woodmen of the World
Honor Two Deceased Members.
T. C. ROBINSON AND ]. ]. HAWKINS
Two Former Members of Hickory
Camp, No. 81, w. o. w. Remember
ed by Their Old Associates-Rev. G.
n. SchIeh's Address at Cemetery.

[ From Mondays Daily.]
With appropriate ceremonies the
members of Hickory camp No. lO3,
Woodmen of the World, yesterday I'M
yelled two monuments, one in honor Oh
the memory of the late Frank G. Rob
inson and the other in honor of John
Jay Hankins, both former members OF
the camp and both at one time highly
esteemed citizens of Ottumwa.
It is distinguishing fact that. the
Woodmen of the World place at the
grave of every deceased member
monument, something which commem.
crates the work and worth of the one
who is gone and at the same time sig
nifies the respect and friendship with
which his fellow Woodmen regarded
him when living. While the services
attendent upon the unwilling OF the
monuments are sad they nevertheless
bespeak something of the great ties
which bind together the men associat-
ed in a fraternity no matter how diff
ferent may be their private inclina-
ton nor how widely separated their
occupations.
Visit the Graves.
The members Of the lodge and also
members of the Woodmen Circle met
at Woodmen hall yesterday afternoon
and proceeded to the Ottumwa Gene
terry. The grave of f. G. Robinson
was visited first, and after short SER
vices there the lodgemen and women
went to the grave of John Jay Han
kins, where the services were held, be
cause of the fact that Mr.. Hankins'
death occurred after that of Mr.. Rob-
inson. A wedge-shaped space had been
fenced in at the grave where the late
Mr.. Hankins' remains were inferred
and into this wedge only the officers
of the lodge We're admitted. Along
the sides stood the members of the
lodge and other spectators.
Service at the Grave.
William Hickey was master of cere
monies and directed the service, which
was carried out according to the regu
lar ritual. This provides very i'm
pressive service, mingling spoken eulo
1 gies and words of dedication with
songs appropriate to the occasion. AL
though the monument unveiled was t.
the memory of Mr.. Hawkins, both his
name and that of the late Mr.. Robin
; son were mentioned in the work.

Mr.. E. A. Holt, of 119 East Court

81 had occasion to use Doan's Kidney
Pills for one of the symptoms of kid
ney complaint for which they are rec
commended. If I had not obtained posi-
tive results from their use l would
not have any confidence in the claims
made for them, neither would I rec.
ommend them to my fellow citizens
of Ottumwa. My advice based on ac-
tual experience is, if anyone suffered
from inactive or weakened kidneys do
as l did, go to Will l.. Sargent's drug
store procure Doan's Kinney Pills,take
them as directed and they will endorse
that preparation as heartily as l."

The Rutland Herald says:
Henry O. Carpenter of this city was
in Boston last week to attend a meet
ing of the committee in charge of the
New England building at the Pan
American exposition at Buffalo. The
work of the committee is practically
done. Little remains except to go to
Buffalo and accept the building when
it is completed The New England
building will rival any building on the
exposition grounds. Each of the
states will have a large room for it's
exhibit, and in the centre of the build
ing will be a great reception room or
auditorium for general use. The Yer
mont room will be situated at the left
of the entrance and will be furnished
with colonial furniture and antique fit
tings. There will be many photo
graphs of beautiful scenes and places
of special interest IN the state. Mrs.
H. S. Bingham of Bennington has
charge of furnishing the room. The
architect of the building is Josephine
Wright Chapman of Boston. The
contract calls for the completion of
the structure by May /, but owing to
unforeseen happenings this cannot be
brought about.

recede there on Monday. 1t did not
come within five feet of the mark of
1884, but 1000 homes were partially
submerged, and factories employing
over $4,000 hands were compelled to
suspend operations. The loss to the
railroads alone is at least 81 100000

ly crippled, and it will be weeks before
the breaks are fully repaired. Wheel

communication early in the week and
the damage in that district is set at
100000. The water in the Ohio

The Flood Hollow dam gave way
with a roar in Middlefeld, Mass, at
t o'clock Sunday night, letting loose
the water in the big reservoir, which
rushed into the west branch of the
Westfield river, sweeping everything
before it and submerging a large part
Of the town of Chester. The dam
was built in 1874, after the big freshet
of the previous year. 1t was poorly
constructed of stone and timber and
had been considered a menace some
time. People on the lowlands were
warned Sunday that the dam was
likely to give way, and they fed to
places of safety with their valuable
possessions.
Two quartz mills at Flood Hollow,
barns and outbuildings were swept
along in the torrent. At Bancroft
the station for Middlefeld, the Bos-
ton & Albany stone bridge was car
ried away, together with 600 feet OF
tracks. Chester presented a desolate
sight. The electric light station was
submerged and the town is in total
darkness. Houses were flooded and
the streets filled with the timbers
from the dam. Water covered them
to a depth of several feet.
The stone arch bridge of the Bos
ton q Albany railroad at Middletield
was washed away. There were also
bad washouts in the railroad track
at other points and several highway
bridges We're carried away and the
roads quilted SO as to be impossible

OF the opinion that American sOver-
eighty was preferable to independ-
ence, but now he was inclined to be
lieve that way himself.
He explained that since the disso-
luton OF the insurgent Congress and
the declaration OF guerilla warfare
the chiefs had operated to all intents
and purposes Independently. They
recognized him as COmmander-in-chie
sending him reports occasionally, and
he issued some orders, but for the last
seven months communication had been
difficult and he had been almost dis
connected.
Il am now urging in the strongest
possible manner said AgulnaldO,
that all insurgents should surrender
and swear allegiance TO the United

He expressed the opinion that Tinio,
Luoban, Malvar and other represen-

soon as they come to understand the
nature of the amnesty offered them.
He said he hoped that when the work
of pacifiCation was complete and con

Guam would be released.
After referring in grateful terms to
the courteous treatment accorded him
by the military authorities he declared
his conviction that the civil govern
ment which would follow pacification
would realize the highest hopes of the
Filipino people.

Later.

The autopsy showed that Campbell
was shot in the heart by 81 calibre
bullet, like the ones found imbedded
in the floor and the door at the fac
tory. Campbell lived two and one
half days with the bullet in his heart
and then died from blood clot. The
belief is growing in Wallingford that
Campbell committed suicide. There
was no powder mark where the bull
let entered the skin, and one of the
physicians says that if the revolver
had been he.l in Campbells hand the
bullet would have gone through his
body. 1t appears now that Campbell
had told many stories that were not
true. He was not an heir to large
estate, and his statement that he had
had a brother and two sisters die in
a short time was entirely false. He
had no money at the time of his death
and had overdrawn his account with
the Bardens $50, so that his financial
condition was not encouraging for
matrimony. Chappell will probably
be out of jail in a few days.
