ton of the urine with all the subse-
quent pains, annoyances and suffering.
There are many medicines that relieve
these conditions, but you want a rem
edy-a cure. Read this statement; it
tells of a cure that lasted.

results. 1 told how Doan's Kidney Pills
relieved me of kidney trouble, disposed
of my lame back and the pains across
my loins beneath the shoulder blades,
etc. During the interval which has
elapsed l have had occasion at times
to resort to Doan's Kidney Pills when

as when the Pills were first brought

MYSTERY CLEARED UP

Chicago, Aug. 27.-The mystery
surrounding the supposed death of

real estate owners and a commission
promised. These promised commits
sions were offered as security for

explanation Lee, who is an old man,
said he felt sure he could have sold
the property to someone else if he
had time. 1t is said no prosecution

CONDITION OF The CROPS
showers of Last Week Beneficial to South
ern District.

Springfield, ILL.,. Aug. 27.-The
weather was unseasonably cool dur
ing the week over the state, except
in the extreme southern portion,
where more nearly normal tempera-
ture prevailed. Heavy rains occur
red the first of the week over most
of the northern and central districts,
and good. beneficial showers fell in
the southern district. The latter part
of the week was generally drier, max
ing farm work possible: and plowing
progressed rapidly, except in the
north, where very little has been
done. Threshing is still in progress,
though it is mostly finished in the
southern, and nearing completion in
the central district. The yield of
oats will be fair, though they have
suffered further damage in the north
ern half of the state by sprouting in
shock.
Corn is generally in very fair condi-
ton. but it is maturing very slowly in
the northern half of the state, owing
to continued cool and wet weather;
and some lodging by high winds is re-
ported in a few localities of the cen
trail district. Reports of damage 10
the corn by chinch bugs continue to
be received from the southern dis
trict. but the ravages of this insect
We're checked materially by the re-
cent rains in that section.
Potatoes have suffered further in
jury by rotting; and, though the crop
promises to be large, the quality will
be only fair. Pastures have improv-
ed in the southern district. and are
now in excellent condition in all sec
tions of the state. Stock peas We're
damaged slightly in the southern dis
trict by the drouth, but are generally
promising. Gardens are good. Young
clover is a good crop. Broom corn
harvest is progressing satisfactorily
and the crop is generally good,
though some report the quality as
poor. Grapes are promising, but are
rotting to some extent in the north
ern and central districts. Pears are
a good crop.
The prospect for apples has imprOv-
ed materially in the northern district.
In the central district there has been
a slight deterioration in this crop. as
bitter rot has appeared in a few
places and falling is reported from
an increased number of places. In the
southern district there are many COM
plants of bitter rot, and the apples
are falling badly in some localities.

man Osgood "did up" The arrival of

general impression that Gates and Os-

respondent he outlined the causes of
