DIRE DISTRESS.

Mrs. A. VonWOlf, of 2024 Buchanan
street. says: Il overtaxed myself and
brought on severe backache At first
I paid little attention to it. thinking it
would pass away in a few days, but
instead it grew worse. When I exerted
myself or caught a slight cold I was
sure to suffer from severe pains in my
back, especially at night when my rest
was much disturbed. I finally became
so bad I could scarcely attend to my
work. Coming to the conclusion that
the trouble originated in my kidneys,
procured a box Of DOan's Kidney Pills
at Rowley & Shows drug store, and
commenced the treatment They act
ed like magic. A few doses benefited
me and before I had taken all the pills
in one box the pain in my back disap-
peared.

AS THE JOURNAL SEES IT.

The Reno Journal says Of railroad
changes:
Below Hated hill the new line will
leave the river and follow natural
embankment or terrace on the south
side of the stream. 1t will miss Wads-
worth nearly three quarters Of mile
and will lie a hundred or more feet
higher than the town. Thence the
road will sweep back to the sand hills
and strike their summit on a level
grade. Thus far the new line will
have shortened the road about six
miles and will have decreased the run
ming time Of passenger trains half
hour or more.
From the sand hills to Browns the
road will pursue the shortest possible
course compatible with easy curve S
and grades.
The effect of this move upon Reno
and Wadsworth may be imagined.
Wadsworth people will take Reno by
storm. The railroad men and those de-
pending directly or indirectly upon them
for sustenance will come 70 this city
in body. For many of them the
change will be temporary hardship
because Of the great depreciation in
the value of their Wadsworth property.
he shops will in the course of per-
haps year be abandoned
Reno will be made the site of re-
pair shops of considerable size. although
little construction work will be done
here on account Of the proximity Of
Sacramento.
All told, the change will be bene-
ficial one for the county and one that
would have taken place many years
ago if a Misunderstanding had not ex-
listed between the railroad officials and
the people Of this town.
Happily the feud has died out and
the company feels assured that so long
as it does not enter upon policies pre-
judicial to the interests of the people
of Reno it will receive the support of
our people.
