CONVINCING PROOF.

Case No. A, 206.-Capt Alfred G.
RigIer of Hose Company No. 4. Can
ton, Ohio, says: 4 had a weak back
ever since l was a boy, and about
six years ago the cause developed
into rather a bad case of kidney com
plant. 1t was not a little backache
now and then, but backache whieh
caused actual suffering day and
night, and the harder 1 tried to get
rid of it the worse it became.
When the attacks were in the acute
Btage it was difficult to sit down, and
when down ii was just as hard to re-
gain an erect position, on account of
the twinges of pain in the kidneys. l
can only describe some of the pangs
as similar to that received from
knife thrust.
In time, distressing and terribly
inconvenient urinary weakness result
ed. causing annoying embarrassment
during the day and loss of sleep dur
ing the night.
l took everything which came to
my notice from reading, from observa-
ton, and which my friends and &C
ouaintances advised. consulted
physicians, but none of them were
able to relieve the trouble, let alone
stop it.
1t became so well known that l had
a pronounced case of kidney com
plant that l often received circulars
from medical companies offering to
cure me, and one day eighteen letters
were handed to me by the mail car
rier
When Doan's Kidney Pills attracted
my attention 1 wanted to try them,
just as l had tried everything else,
and Mrs. Rigler went to Durham &
Wright Co.'S drug store for a box.
Relief followed.
knew after a dose or two that
the medicine was acting directly on
the kidneys from the altered condi-
ton of the kidney secretions, and,
encouraged, l continued the treat
ment. Finally, the backache and
other complications stopped.
Let me sum up my opinion about
Doan's Kidney Pills by saying. 1
would willingly pay one months
wages for box of them if could not
buy them for less. You can refer
any one to me about Doan's Kidney
Pills and l will convince them that
they act just as represented"
Four Years After.
Lapse of time has strengthened
my appreciation of Doan's Kidney
Pills. l gave this remedy my unquali-
fed endorsement in the summer OF
1896, because of the results l obtained
from a course of the treatment.

ment the experience of d number of

stockholm. Sweden, Dec. 9.-The
crops in the northern district of
Sweden have failed entirely, owing to
the cold, wet summer, and collections
are being made in all cities and towns
by the banks, corporations and private

these people in line with American
ideals that he is willing to spend the
remainder of his days in the islands.

How Advertising Grows.

agents of Philadelphia, have found it
necessary to move into new and
larger quarters at SO0-3O8 Chestnut
Street in that city.
This announcement will interest
many publishers. because Aver & Son
are so widely known as promoters of
newspaper publicity. They began
business thirty-three years ago, with
two people and an annual business of
$4,000. They now have one hundred
and ninety employees, and have for
years done the largest advertising
business in the world. The difference
between then and now is, they say,
simply the result of making news
paper and magazine advertising pay
their customers.

ONLY 1879 PoLYGAMISTS.
President Smith SO Declares-Fast Dying
Out.

Silt Lake, Utah, Dec. BIN an in
terview President Joseph Smith of the
Mormon church, defined the present
position of the church with respect to
poIygamy.
President Smith declares: 1.-The
church does not perform or sanction or
authorize marriage in any form that is
contrary to the laws of the land
There is no such offense committed
by sanction of the Mormon church.
But when the prohibition of polygamy
was proclaimed by the president of the
Mormon church there were many per-
sons who had contracted plural mar
riage and that relation has been
continued in many instances, because
the men in that position determined
not to abandon their families, but to.
care for and provide for them and
educate and cherish their children.
''It was ascertained by careful
census in 1890 when President Wood
ruff issued his manifesto against fur
Their polygamous marriages that there
We're 2,451 such families belonging to
the church. In May, 1902, complete
and thorough inquiry showed that the
original number in 1890 had been re
duced 60 per cent, leaving then only
1s9, the great majority of whom were
of advanced age, and many of them
have since departed this life. 1t is
evident that with no additions to this
total, but with rapid and continual
decrease, the number of polygamous
families will soon be reduced to zero. :"

Day Full of Excitement.

NEW YORK, Sept. 3O.-The losses suf-
fered in prices of stocks yesterday, which
reached practically panic proportions, were
more than wiped out to-day. There were
remaining traces of fevershness in to-
days trading after the spasmodic recovery
at the opening, but as the day progressed
the trading settled down into a growing
buying movement, which became furiously
active in the final dealings and made the
closing exceedingly buoyant on the largest
volume of dealings of the day.
The money market showed none Of the
excessive stringency of yesterday, but
rates for call loans went as high as 10 per
cent. in the forenoon, in spite of the relief
at hand. Preparations for the Oct. 1 dis
bursements were a complicating factor, but
during the afternoon the forces of relief be-
gan to make an impression upon the mar
ket. Apparently the necessary preparations
for the October payments had also been
completed. Call loan rates fell away rap
idly and helped the very buoyant tone to-
ward the close.
1t has been very persistently maintained
that the stringency of the money market
was the only cloud upon the speculative
horizon, and the. only drawback to the
upward course of prices of securities II
was but natural, therefore, that the news
of the quite drastic measures proposed by
the secretary of the treasury for the re-
lease of surplus government funds to the
money market should have quickly checked
the demoralizing sentiment of yesterday
The remission of the requirement upon ma
tional banks to maintain their rs per cent.
cash reserve against government deposits
promised to afford upwards of $50, 900 600
of bank reserves for other purposes, or to
follow the argument of the secretary of the
treasury, to permit additional credits to the
amount of four times the cash reserves thus
made available. This would equal $780, O0O-
coo of additional credit for the country at
large. The amount of government deposits
in New York banks amounts to some SAL
10000, which would also be the amount of
the additional credits Immediately avail
able to the New York market. That is to
say, over s10,0O0,000 of New York banks
cash is released from the reserve require
ment. There was no mistaking the stimulat-
ing effect of this possibility upon specula-
tive sentiment. The extent of the effect of
the other measures proposed by the secre-
tary was considered more open to question
The action of the late market raises some
question as to the exclusive part PLAYED
by the money stringency in the stock mar
ket depression. The sudden response to the
expectation of coal strike settlement indi-
Gates that the growing bad effects of that
struggle upon industry in general were be-
