Mrs Clara ]. Sherhourne, Profession
al Nurse of 25T Cumberland Street,
Portland, Maine. says:
II heartily wish those who suffer
from some disturbed action of the kid
neys would try Doan's Kidney Pills.
They would, like me, be more than
surprised. My back annoyed me for
years. Physicians who diagnosed my
case said it arose from my kidneys.
When the grip was epidemic, was
worn out with constant nursing, and
when / contracted it myself it left me
in a very serious condition. l could
not straighten nor do the most trivial
act without being in torture. The kid
neys were too active or the secreticns
were too copious, and / knew what
was wrong. but how to right it was a
mystery. 1t seems odd for q profess
sional nurse, who has had a great deal
of experience with medicines, to read
advertisements about Doans Kidney
Pills in the newspapers, and it may
appear more singular for me to go to
III. II. Hay & Sons drug store for a
box. But did, however; and had any
body told me before that it was posi-
bic to get relief as quickly as | did |
would have been 10th to believe it. You
can send any one who wishes more
minute particulars about my case TO
me. and / will be only too glad to tell
them personally. AS long as / live /
will be firm advocate of Doans Kid
ney Pills.
Cure Confirmed Five Years Later.
Lapse of time has strengthened my
good opinion of Doan's Kidney Pills,
first expressed in the spring of 1896.
| said then that had anybody told me
that it was possible to get relief as
quickly as | did l would have been
10th to believe t. Years Aave passed
and my continued freedom from kid
neg complaint has strengthened my
opinion of Doan's Kidney Pills and
given me a much higher appreciation
of their merits"

medicine which cured Mrs Sherbourne

relief they gave me WIS only tempo

ALAN g. MASON eral months. The
family of which Mason is member is
one of the most aristocratic in Boston
and he is a man of culture and has been
reared in refinement. His arrest created
great sensation. Soon after the police
brought him into public notice in connec
ton with the case, it was decided to re-
lease him because of an abb Z FINISHED
by relatives. Several persons came for
ward, however, and testified that they
had seen him at Waverly in the vicinity
of where the latest assault wac perpe-
trated on Miss Clara Morton Nov. l, and
he was held for her murder Suspicion
was again turned from him when it was
learned that Miss Morton's watch, which
had been stolen, had been pawned by a
negro and the subsequent arrest of the
one who had disposed of the watch. But
the negro, youth named George l.. o.
Perry, claimed he had received the time
piece aud also one belonging to Miss
Agnes McPhee. who was murdered Oct.
3, from Mason. and he identified him as
he stood in line with several others. But
the pawnbroker who received the watches
declares that Perry did not pawn them,
asserting that it was another negro. Ma
son was afterward discharged from GUS
tody, the evidence being insufficient to
hold him.
The police are greatly perplexed by the
tangle of contradictory evidence, but they
confidently expect to bring the guilty par
ty to justice as a result of information
that will develop from the arrest of other
persons suspected of knowledge % cases.

THE PIANO TUNERS MISTAKE

A lady stepped into a piano wareroom
recently to engage tuner, but before
doing so insisted upon the strongest as
s1rance that the tuner was response
bic. She was sd determined that the
manager became curious to know the
reason for her disbelief in the reliabil-
ity of tuners. She gave her experience
with the last she had, and this is the
story as she told it:
lie had about finished tuning the
piano, when he looked up and said:
Your instrument was in awful condi-
ton. You ought to have sent for me
sooner"
1T was tuned only three months
ago
Then the mar who did it certainly
didn't know his business"
'.No:'
NO, ma'an. He had better be doing
street cleaning than tuning pianos.
Why, my dear madam, delicate in
strument like a piano needs lingering
equally delicate to handle it, combined
with an ear Of unerring accuracy. The
individual who attempted to tune this
instrument last evidently possessed
neither of these. In fact, l am free to
say he did it more harm than good"

Indeed he did. May l ask who it
was who so abused your Instrument

Madam, you are wrong; l never
tuned piano in this house before"
Probably not, but you tuned that in

STREET M ANNERs.
Persons Should Look Ahead and Keep
to the Right.

Al
to the Right.
Mention has been made of the neees-
sity for turning TO the right upon meet
ing another person in the street To
fail in this act of courtesy is to run the
risk of being considered a boor. Some
times it is nothing but an indication of
the lack of tact. An individual of ordi-
nary discernment ought to be able to
adapt himself to whatever circum-
stances surround him. If he sees that
he is violating a custom of the place,
it is his duty to accept the rule govern
ing those about him. Such course
would save collisions. and hard feel
ings. The offense of turning to the
left instead of to the right is only one
of many. Perhaps the mention Of Il
few of them, at the risk of being ac-
cused of righteousness, may be ven
tured upon. 1t might lead to reform
through the simple methods of making
people think. There are few men or
women so mean that they choose TO
be an annoyance Usually they are
either careless, or they are ignorant.
A certain proportion of the population
will ramhIe along the thoroughfare as
though not going anywhere in particu-
lar. II they see anything that catches
their interest they will fix eyes on
it and pay no heed to the presence of
others A woman with her eyes direct
ed at the hat of another woman will
be so engorssed that she would not
pay attention to pedestrian, a street
car or a bicycle. A man is just as bad.
Of7en he will drift ON the tide appa-
rently unconscious of where he is. Peo-
pie have to dodge him. He will be
looking at pretty girl, a dog fight
or other of the spectacles that engage
the senses, and while he is looking,
move on. AS he gets past the point
where his lines of vision focus, he re-
fuses to lose the spot. He will move
sdewise like a crab, or backward like
a balky mule, and all in the vicinity
have to take chances. OF course, the
ordinary habit is to evade this human
battering ram, but if one is broad of
shoulder it is well TO heave the miscre-
ant into the gutter and then soothe him
with an apology rather than fight about
it.
Another instance that should be abat-
ed is the loafer. Loafers gather at some
point of vantage and gazing out over
the throng try to make conquest of
passing beauty. often their ogling be-
comes plain both to observers and to
the hapless victims. 1t is not rare for
their language to be rude. Profanity
is freely mingled with it. They expec-
torate to the breach Of decency ana
defiance Of local ordinance.
So much for what can be seen on the
sidewalks. If one takes refuge in

ARMOUR PLANT BURNS.


Big Packing Houses in Sioux City Are
in Ruins.
The big packing plant of Armom' &
Co., which occupied three and a half
acres of ground at the extreme south end
of tho Sioux City. Iowa, stock yards dis
trict, was destroyed by a fire which start
ed at 80 O'Clock Sunday morning on
the second floor of the fertilizer building.
The loss, estimated by Charles w. Len
ron. manager of the company, was total,
or 100000. The cause Of the fire, Mr..
Lennon said was either spontaneous com
bustion or an imperfect drier. There
WAS S721, 800 insurance on the property.
Six hundred men will be thrown out If
work all winter by the fire. but Manager
Lennon says a larger plant will be built.
The fire was discovered by watch
man of the building, who only few min
utes before had pulled messenger box
on the floor where the flames started.
Quickly the plants private fire depart
ment was called out The city depart
ment was then called and every local
fireman was soon at work.
Once in the beef-killing house the
flames spread swiftly to the rest of the
plant, attacking first the oleo building.
When the lard in this structure started to
burn the fire presented most spectacu-
lar appearance. The big beef house,
where 500 dressed carcasses were hang
ing, caught ut o'clock BY this time
the whole plant, except the hog house,
was on FIRE. The roar of the flames was
terrible. The country for miles around
was lighted up. Suddenly there was a
terrific explosion, followed quickly by an
other, ara then another. Twenty-four
drums of 100 poe::sds of ammonia each
exploded before the reserve supply in the
ammonia cistern was reached. That ex-
plosion almost RACED the entire plant off
its foundation.
The fire continued to burn all day.
Sunday afternoon there was another ter
rife explosion, which threw bricks and
pieces of iron hundreds of yards, endan-
gering thousands of spectators, but no
one was seriously hurt
