ALL WRONG
The Mistake is Made by Many
Missouri Valley Citizens

Don't mistake the cause of bhckache.
To be cured you must know the cause.
1t is wrong to imagine relief is cure.
Backache is kidney ache. You must
cure the kidneys A Missouri Valley
resident tells you how this can be done.
Mrs Il Lewis, j + Lewis boiler
maker of 223 North Second st, says:
"For years | knew that my kidneys
were either weakened or over excited
but what to do to check the trouble
let alone stop it, was mystery. A
dull pain in the small of the back was
often quite severe and during a very
severe attach happened to read in q
papar about Doan's Kidney Pills This
was some three years ago and sent
to Omaha for box. 1t proved to be
an excellent remedy, differing from
anything else had ever employed
The treatment stopped that particular
attack. Since then as occasion re-
qutred have appealed to Doan's Kid
ney Pills when symptoms of recur-
renee sho wed themselves, and on each
and every occasion l have stopped
them In the early stages. No one need
suffer from backache or kidney com
plant If they go to g S Osborne's drug
store for Doan's Kidney Pills"

A Missouri Valley Girl in Good
Company.
New York Herald.

When Miss Helen Gould in
sisted upon partaking of the bis
cults, piping hot and inst baked
by little Miss Viola Will ard, and
pronounced them good, she won
the hearts of all nine hundred
pupils at the Harle m night
school.
Miss Gould afterward inspected
all the divisions and classes of
the school and expressed complete
satisfaction with the work being
done. Her visit was made by ap.
pointment, but she arrived at the
school rather unexpectedly, the
teachers believing that the cold
wave would keep her at home.
Miss Gould was appointed in
spector ofthe Board of Education
by Mayor Low last year and she
has been much interested in her
work, but it was not until last
night that she found time to give
attention to the evening classes.
She went from her home, in
Fifth avenue, to public school No
81, at 10th street and Amsterdam
avenue, in her automobile, With
her were Mrs T M Weekes, super
intendent of the Home for the
Friendless, Miss Ida Mosher, of
Missouri Valley, Iowa, student
in the New York University
School of Pedagogy, and Miss
Leonard T Mcconnell, director Of
sewing of the public schools.
One of the most important
features Of the Harlem night
school is the cooking department.
There 400 girls are learning that
branch of the art of housekeeping
and they, knowing Of her contem-
plated visit, prepared to show
Miss Gould their accomplish
ments. They prepard for her
various articles of food illustra-
tive of their course of study, but
of all the edibles placed before
her Mies Gould expressed her
preference for the biscuits prepar-
pared by little Miss Willard, a
child of fourteen.

Attorney Sheehan, of the Elkhorn
spoke as follows:
Mr. Sheean stated briefly, in
presenting protests. that it ap-
peared to the officers of the Elk
horn company that the ASSESS
ment of s26O,O 900 per mile placed
upon the road by the tax commits
sioner was unjustly high. The
company had but three miles of
road within the city limits and
that road could be replaced at q
cost of from $4,000 $5O,O0O per
mile. The earnings of the road
last year, he said, were but $685.
600, which would make the pro-
portion to be credited to the three
miles in Omaha about $615 per
mile. This part Of the Elkhorn
road, he said, acas only a branch
line any,cdy and the main line vas
from Missouri Valley to the Black
