Kansas agitator. [volume] (Garnett, Kan.) 1890-1905, 1902-04-04

Sullivan, H., March 3lst. Mrs. Kitty
F. Seaney was very i'll for months and
notwithstanding the best possible med
ical attendance she got no better. The
doctors said she had Bright's Disease.
and gave her little or no hope of ever
being we'll again.
She suffered great pain in her back,
which nothing seemed able to relieve,
till at last encouraged by the reputa-
ton Dodds Kidney Pills have attained
in the community as cure for Kidney
Diseases, she began to use them.
The result was surprise both to
Mrs. Seaney and the physicians, for
soon after the treatment was COM
menced her kidneys threw of large
quantities of dark diseased matter and
she improved rapidly. She used in all
ten boxes, and has completely recov-
cred good health without pain or
symptoms of the Bright's Disease.

| My darllng! he said husklly; please
do not ask me about it,"
from its case on the mantel, looked at
it long, put it back. No, not that! He
emptied very little of white powder
from small bottle into glass, added
little water and placed it near his
bed. Yes, ne must have sleep. To-
morrow would be Friday.
In the gray of the early morning
Holloway arose. His head was heavy
and ached duly from the morphine,
but he had slept. The day had come
how would it end? He was rich
perhaps he could buy Maud off-mon-
ey would do much. He would tell her
| all-arrange for divorce in Louis
lana. She should have her price. II
she would not agree the heavily load
ed weapon in his pocket now might as
well end it.
All day long the man sat in his Of
flee waiting. She would probably send
message from her hotel. She might
come to him direct. No one ever knew
what she would do. Oh, if he only
knew her train.
At six o'clock that evening he was
still waiting. His bookkeeper came
into his private office. 'Ill. Mr.. Halo
way?" he asked. you didn't go to
lunch"
mo, Joe, not i'll exactly" answered
the broker, but not feeling quite
right"
Sorry said the clerk politely.
Here's an evening paper-terrfble
railroad wreck, it says. Southern ex-
press went through the trestle at Cor
DINA. Seventeen killed. The Maxey
troupe was on the train. Some Of the
girls dead. That's awful, isn't it?
Here's list"
Let me take it," cried Holloway,
reaching out trembling hand. Where
where's the list?" The bookkeeper
pointed it out.
Jack glanced at it and fell back in
his chair. Call cab, quick!" he
cried. "I've a friend among those
poor people. I'm going down there"
The astonished clerk ran downstairs.
Maud Hudson-killed!" murmured
Holloway with dry lips. That's her
stage name. Poor-little-Maud. If
she's really gone Pm-" he stopped,
repealed at himself. Its better So"
he thought, at might have been both
of lis before we got through"
Isabel looked anxiously for her be-
trothed for the next three days. 1t
was cruel for Jack to go away and
leave no word. When he returned he
was very pale, very tender with her.
81 lost an old friend in that fearful
wreck at Cordinia, my darling!" he
said huskily; please do not ask me
about it, shall never be able to
speak of it."
And Isabel has never asked, and in
her happy married life has 70 gotten.

A Noted Knight Temp|ar
Owes His Health to Peruna.

Colonel T. P. Moody, q prominent Knight
Templar, Is well known In every city in the
United States west of Buffalo, N. Y, as q
jewelers. Auctioneer. In the city Of Chi
cago az prominent lodge man, being q
member of the X. I. g and also of the Ma.
sons. The cut shows Colonel Moody In the
costume Of the Oriental Consistory Masons
32nd degree.
In a recent letter from $500 Michigan
avenue. Chicago, ILL.,, Mr.. Moody says the
following:
"For over twenty-five years 1
suffered from cafarrh, and for
over ten years I suffered from
cafarrh of the stomach terribly.
81 have taken all kinds of medi-
cines and have been treated by
all kinds of doctors, as thousands
of my acquaintance are aware
In different parts of the United
States, where I have travelled, but
my relief was only temporary,
until q little over q year ago I
started to take Peruna, and at the
present time I am better than
have been for twenty years.
"The soreness has left my sf0n1-
lch entirely and I am free from
Indigestion and dyspepsia and will
say to all who are troubled with
cafarrh or stomach trouble of any
kind, don't put 1t off and suffer,
but begin TO take Peruna right
away, and keep it up until you
are cured, as you surely will be If
you persevere.
"My wife, as many in the southwest can
say was troubled with bad cough and
bronchial trouble, and doctors all over the
country gave her up to die, as they could
do nothing more for her. She began taking
Peruna with the result that she is better
now than she has been in years, and her
cough has almost left her entirely. The
soreness has left her lungs and she is as we'll
as she ever was in her life. with thanks, as
she says, to Peruna. Yours very truly;
Catarrh in its various forms is rapidly
becoming general curse An undoubted
remedy has been discovered by DR.. Hart
man. This remedy has been Thoroughly
tested during the past forty years. Promi-
nent men have come to know of its virtues,
and are making public utterances on the
subject. To save the country we must save
the people. TO save the people we must
protect them from disease The disease that
is at once the most prevalent and stubborn
of cure is catarrh.
If one were to make list Of the different
names that have been applied to catarrh in
different locations and organs, the result
would be astonishing. We have often pub
lished partial list of these names, and the
surprise caused by the first publication of it
to all people, both professionals and non
professional, was amusing. And yet we
have never enumerated all of the diseases
which are classed as catarrh. 1t must be

Maud!
And she had been alive all this time
and had never written? Had taken up
her life and been silent. Now, like an
avenging Nemesis she was appearing
from the hated past to wreck all that
he held dear.
Yet in a way he had loved her. He
could almost hear her singing 1.-THE

and the sweep Of her banjo with the
pink ribbons. A faint perfume chung

rent of old recollections. She was his
wife after all, and they had passed
many happy hours together. What In
Gods name should he do?
Who was the woman he had buried
had wept over? He remembered
how he had turned from that grave
with a vow for better life-a prayer
for a manly career where he might be
of some use.
After that came Chicago and his
wonderful winnings on the Board Of

Thirty Years OF Litigation In the Ger
man Courts.

Thirty Years OF Litigation In the Ger
man Courts.
One of the longest lawsuits on rec.
ord, and one which involved millions
of dollars, has just been decided in
Germany after thirty years az litiga-
ton. Strange to say. there is still
something left Of the estate fought
over-it was SO large that the courts
and the lawyers did not get it all in
spite Of the long time the case was in
court. They got a good share, how
ever. The family Of Arenberg live in
Belgium, but they own snug little
duchy In Germany. The Duke OF
Arenberg used to impose a toll Of 20
cents on every ton Of coal mined by
the Westphalia Coal company, whose
mines were in his domains. In the
general shape-up Of the Franco-Prus-
sian war and the reformation OF the
German empire which followed, the
Duke Of Arenberg and his duchy got
lost in the shuttle. and the coal COM
pany ceased its tribute. Then the
Duke went to law.
In the good old days the robber
baron ancestors Of the Duke would
have called out their men-at-arms,
swooped down on that coal company
and hanged the president and board OF
directors to the castle gates. But the
coal baron having succeeded the rob-
Der baron in these days, the Duke
went to law, and after thirty years he
has won his case.
For once the coal baron has been
downed by the descendant of the rob-
Der baron, and the Westphalian Coal
company will have to pay arrearages
OF tribute to the Duke mounting 20
$36,OOO,000. The annual income of the
Arenbergs from the mines is about
$1,2OO,OO0! so now they are rich, but
If the suit had gone against them they
would have been practically ruined.
That lawsuit was getting to be their
principal asset. As for the coal Da-
rons, they are in state of mind" and
will probably try to arrange compro-
mise.

very small salary he took to writing.
