Iceland, Europe.
This is the address given in an order
for Dodd's Kidney Pills received and
filled by the Dodds Medicine Company
of Buffalo, on April 18th. This unique
direction means that to reach the sick
people Of Iceland the parcel must
travel to New York, then to London,
Eng, then northwest to Greenland, to
be landed finally on the lonely island
at the edge OF the Arctic Circle. This
is a pointed Illustration of how United
States goods find their way to the re-
hottest corners Of the earth. America
to-day produces better medicines, as
we'll as better manufactured articles
than any other country in the world,
and this fact accounts for the demand
for Dodd's Kidney Pills from every
part of the known universe.

FROM DEATHS DOOR.

HiIIsdaIe, ILL.,, April 29th--Much IN
terest has been aroused here over the
case Of William Marks, who has been.
in a dying condition for several months
with an apparently incurable Kidney
Disease.
The leading physicians of this place
had pronounced his case a hopeless
one, and others from Port Byron, Gen-.
eseo, and Davenport, Iowa, had ar
tended him, and in a consultation de-,
cided that he could not live.
IN desperation. his nephew inquired
or Mr.. 4. r. Giles. a local druggist, as
to a last resort. Mr.. Giles suggested
Dodd's Kidney Pills, a remedy which
had just been introduced here.
The results were marvellous. Mr..
Marks Immediately began to improve,
and within few weeks was able to be
UP and about, completely cured.
His cure Is the talk Of the neighbour
hood, and is considered nothing short
of miracle.
There appears to be no doubt that
this new remedy, Dodd's Kidney Pills,
will cure any case of Kidney Disease,
for the more malignant forms, such as
iBright's Disease, Diabetes, and Drop
sy, yield readily to Its remarkable In
f1uence. These forms Of Chronic Kid
ney Disease have hitherto been consid-
cred incurabIe, and have baff1ed all
medical skill, and yet, this new remedy
has cured every single case in which.ft
has been used in this neighborhood.l
The doctors themselves are amazed at
the wonderful work DOdd's Kidney
Pills are accompl ishing in Rock Island
Couny. s.s

MINERS IN CONFERENCE
United Mined Workers Trying to
Organize Virginia Men.
OPPOSED BY THE OPERATORS
The Convention Proposes Uniform Scale Of
Wages for All Mining Fields Some
Delegates Doubtful Of Success.

Huntington, w. Va, Oct. 31.--A
number of representatives of the Uni
ted Mine Workers of America and Of
different state organizations are here
for a conference with both the or
ganized and unorganized miners of
West Virginia and Virginia A sim
liar conference was held at Parkers-
burg last month, and on the report of
the conferees at that time President
Mitchell called the meeting for today
to devise plans by which the miners
in these two states can be organized
into state unions and made auxiliary
to the United Mine Workers of Amer
lea, the same as in other coal-produc-
ing states.
1t is held that the operators In other
states claim they cannot pay the I'M
ion scale in competition with the lower
rate of the non-union mines in West
Virginia, and the conference will APP
peal to the Virginia miners for the
protection of the union miners in
other states. The operators of West
Virginia are also represented here and
are appealing to their men against in
reference from labor leaders in other
states.
The first session was held at 10
o'clock today. and the meetings may
continue the remainder Of the week.
The convention proposes uniform
scale Of wages on a basis equal with
that OF Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and
Pennsylvania and other competitive
fields. West Virginia has never had
even a formulated scale. Several at
tempts have been made to effect a
scale, but always without success. and
some of those present are doubtful
as to the success of the present con.
ference in that respsct-

Washington, Oct. 31.-The long or

subjected since Monday morning end

Sross-examination was concluded and
he was allowed to leave the witness

features of the day was the develop
ment of the fact that the report or
the battle written by Admiral Schley,
July s, 1898, was not the original re-
port. The original never has been
published, and in accordance with
previous decision, the court declined
10 allow it to go into the record. Ad-
miral Schley was allowed to explain,
however, that Admiral Sampson de-
clined to receive the first report be-
cause it did not mention the presence

THE STORY DENIED.
There IL No Truth in Hnzfng
Incident.

The Evening World is in receipt of
the following letter from DR.. Purln-
ton, of the State University. The
letter which follows, is self explanl-
tory;
Morgantown, W. Va. Oct, 2S. 1901.
Mr.. Editor:
A sensational story concerning the
alleged hazing OF lady freshman in
the University by lady students of up.
per classes has recently been extern
sively published throughout this and
other states. Inasmuch as the story is
utterly and totally false, and is dam
aging to the University, | beg the
courtesy of an opportunity to deny 1t.
There has been no hazing OF any kind,
or to any extent whatever, either OF a
freshman. or any other young lady IN
the University. Neither has there
been any attempt at such hazlng. On
the evening referred to in the sensa-
sional story, some young lady students
of the University invited a student
ont of the Library into the lower cor
rider of Martin Hall. in which the IL
brary is located, with the intention OF
asking her to go out OF the building
and sing for them. But when she
came down. they changed their minds
ard went home without asking or at
tenn pting anything. This innocent
and colorless circumstance seems to
have given rise to the whole of the
absurd tale that is going the rounds.
While am writing, permit me to
say in addition that everything III and
about the University is in the best
condition OF harmony and progress.
There is large enrolment OF earnest
and purposeful studenrs, and the work
of the University is going steadily and
prosperously forward
Yours very truly
