ALL WRONG.

Don't mistake the cause Of back
ache.
TO be cured you must know the
cause.
It is wrong to imagine relief is
cure.
Backache is kidney ache.
You must cure the kidneys.
A Wilmington resident tells you
how this can be done.
Mr.. G. W. Speer,- in the wholesale
commission business at the corner
Of Fourth and King street., says
II had backache for six months. 1t
came on without any apparent
cause and was mainly characterized
by dull aching pain across the
small of the back, which when
lifted or stopped changed to sharp
twinges. Doan's Kidney Pills were
recommended to me by a lady who
used them, 50 | got a box at Dan
forth's drug store on Market street
They removed the trouble and up
to the present time l have been free

RECOGNITION.

The Ind dependente Fire Company
wants recognition. 1t wants to be
orc Of tile regular fire fighters.
Justice oil the Peace Francis
S. Bradley, who is an enthusiastic
member Of the Independence Fire
Company, last evening presented
70 City Council strong petition IN
favor OF locating fire company In
the lower end of the Ninth Ward.
The Independence Company ls
understood to be willing to uake
conce on tor the purpose OF aScer-
tanning if The others who are inter
ested in Ninth ward companies are
willing 10 be real volunteer hremen.
1t is generally admitted that City
Council would be willing to grant
an appropriation of $S. 900 a year to
one company in the Ninth ward.
The proposition Of the lndepeo-
dence Company IS that the Council
recognize all three OF the Ninth
ward companies upon the condition
that they agree to accept $1,000
each year ior ten years, This
would be enough TO MAINTAIN the
companies for work in their own
immediate sections and would cost
the city no more than for one COM
panv. The Independence Company
is willing to enter into such an
agreement. 80,
1t is not likely that Council viii
agree to this proposition. The
members hold that one company In
the Ninth ward Is enough, and are
at present unwilling to recognize
| more than one.
The new Company has responded

Dead men and men who do not re-
side within the city should be omit
ted from the lists. Another feature

are returned as errors. But what

and Persian governments three years ago,
giving to the former the exclusive right to
construct railroads in Persia for a period of
ten years from the accession of the nresent
shah-leaving seven years still to run.
