THESE ARE PLAIN WORDS.

Marshfield, Mo-, Jan. 20th-Mr. j. r.
King of this place makes the following
statement:
II have suffered untold agony for
twenty years with Lame Back and
Acute Kidney Disease, and in that
time have never been two days to-
gether clear Of misery, and for some
of the time I could not walk step or
even sit up.
"Last spring, after trying many doc.
tors and every remedy that could be
thought of, began a treatment Of
Dodd's Kidney Pills. The good results
were almost immediate and for the last
seven months have seen more comfort
and pleasure than I have for twenty
years before.
"Any one with Kidney Disease or
Lame Back that will not try Dodd's
Kidney Pills deserves to suffer"

ENDORSED WITH A "NIT."
While Captive Among the Phil
ippine Insurgents.

Gen. Macarthur, despite his distinc-
ton and his many successes, modestly
prefers to speak the praises of others.
To q naval officer whom he enter
tanned at Manila some time ago he told
. story about Lieut.. j. C. Gilmore, U. s.

of the Yorktown at Baler, Luzon is
land, in April, 1899, by the Philippine
Insurgents and held prisoner for
months in the mountains.

failed in aiding them to escape only be-

guards.

Arthur, Ito have these letters used
whenever the bearers might be cap
tured by our forces, and also as pass
ports for spies. Those experimenting
this literary coup had sufficient knowl-
edge of English to make out the gen.
sral sentiment of the document.
"Lieut. Gilmore insisted" continued
the general, according to the Phila-
delphia Post, shat as chief officer

privilege of looking over what had
been written. Nodding approval over

Gen. Macarthur showed one of these
letters. "You can imagine" said he,
"the unbounded admiration it ere

wILHELMINA's KIND MOTHER.
Servant from Dismissal for
nm Accident.

The mother of young Queen Wilhel-
nina is not only respected for the wis
dom she showed as regent during her
daughters minority, but she is also
greatly loved for her kindliness and
amiability. Of this the following story
gives charming illustration, says the
Baltimore Herald. The king had
bought fine service of Serves porce-
lain for the use of the royal family,
and he announced that any breakage
would be followed by the instant dis
missal of the servant who caused it.
One day a man, who had been for many
years one of the royal servants, went
to the queen in the greatest distress
and confessed that be had broken one
of the precious cups. Queen Emma
consoled him as best she could, and tod
him to stick the cup together with ce.
ment. The man replied that the king
would certainly notice the crack. New
ertheless the queen bade him mend the
cup as neatly as possible, and give it to
her that afternoon at teatime. This
was done, and the queen, after drink
ing her tea, rose suddenly, letting her
cup fall on the floor, where it lay brok.

cups, and don't deserve to remain in
your service. You must dismiss me at
once" The irascib.e old king was
amused at her demure manner, and
considered that accident quite a joke.
He had no idea that there was more in
it than met the eye, and that the
queens so-called clumsiness had
earned her the poor servants nndyiRe

whom the case was heard decided in
his favor. City Solicitor Watson filed
exceptions to the report OF the referee

OF his office.
Judge Carpenter contended that the
only question in the case was whether
or not there had been a removal of Mr..
Jenkins 1t was admitted by the city
that there had not been, save by the
appointment of Mr.. Robinson. This was
not sufficient. since Mr.. Robinson had
taken no oath of Office and had not
filed a bond. 1t was ridiculous. he said,
to urge that a man could file bond
for an Office that did not exist until
two years after that bond was APP

he held, in the contention that the fact
that Mr.. Robinson had given Il bond to
the city was Il substantial compliance

Mr.. and Mrs. Jacob Kiefer, Of Cherry
street, were arrested yesterday at the
instance of Mrs. w. B. Duggan, agent
of the board of associated charities, on
the charge of having cruelty treated
their little niece and nephew, Florence
Thomas, aged IA years, and George
Thomas, aged years.
At a hearing held before Alderman
Ruddy last evening, it was deduced
that the two Thomas children have
been in the care of the Kiefers for
some time. The 14-year-old girl works
in the Sauquoit mill and the case was
brought to the attention of Mrs. Dug
gan yesterday through her. She ran
away from home because of the cruel
ties which she said were inflicted upon
her and she sought Mrs. Duggan's aid.
She swore on the stand at the hear
ing that her aunt beat her brutally a
few days ago because she accidentally
stepped in front Of her while she was
sweeping. Mrs. Kiefer, she said, struck
her repeatedly with an iron stove litter.

bread knife, she said.

arms and body as evidence Of the truth
of her story On another occasion, she
said, her aunt threw her through a
screen door, badly lacerating her arm.
She had also abused the boy on fire.

The boy was made to show a big,
ugly looking red wound on his arm, but
he seemed to be afraid of his aunt and
would not admit that she had inflicted
it. He had sustained it by falling on Il
rock. he said.
Mrs. Kiefer took the stand and admit
ted beating the girl with IL broom
handle, but denied having struck her
with the stove litter. Alderman Ruddy
ordered the children taken from the
Kefers and removed to the Home for
the Friendless. He reserved his decis-
ion as to Mrs. Kiefer, but ordered her
husband discharged.
