1t is sometimes an easy matter to
fool the public, but you can't keep it
up very long. They are sure to find
you out; and every time a man is
fooled another skeptic is made. We
are naturally skeptical when reading
a published statement by some stran-
ger residing in PARKWAY place, but
the circumstances are entirely differ
ent when home Endorsement is pre-
scented. The testimony of local citi-
gems renders deceit impossible. 1t is
so easy for you to investigate. Read
this case:
F. j. WivilI, Seventh avenue, car
penter, says: Il was so sore and
lame across my back that 1 could
not stoop over far enough to tie my
shoes. When 1 was obliged to pick
up anything from the floor 1 had to
get down on my knees to avoid the
sharp, shooting pains through my
kidneys. There was dull, heavy
pain in my back and also weakness
of the kidneys which was very an
noying. 1 used many remedies, but /
got little or no benefit until L tried
Doan's Kidney Pills, obtaining them
at the Harper house drug store. They

OPERATED ON JOE SHEEHAN
Doctors Found the Bullet and Dressed
the Wound but Have Little Hope
of his Recovery

The wound of Joe Sheehan, the
more seriously injured of the two La
Harpe men shot by Officer Cannon and
now lying in the lola hospital, has
stubbornly refused to heal and Mon
day afternoon an operation was
successfully performed, but the doc
tors have little hope that the patient
will recover
Drs. Dres bach, CofTman, Parks and
Richards oniciated at the operation.
The bullet was found lodged back of
the hip bone. II had ranged down
ward after entering his side, cutting
chip from the hip bone, passing
through the lower part of the liver
and lodging behind the hip. AS the
bullet entered the body it broke a
button on Sheehan's clothing and
carried this, together with small par
ticles Of the clothing with it through
his body. These foreign substances
prevented the healing OF the wound
and an abscess had formed about the
bullet which would have certainly
proven fatal but for the opera.
alton. The wound was thoroughly
cleaned, the particles of cloth and
bone being removed and the patient
rallied from the operation nicely. lie
is feeling much better today in fact
than for some time, but chiefly be-
cause Of the injury to the liver the
doctors fear that his chances for ulti,
mate recovery are very slight.

NEARLY BIT HER TONGUE OFF
Little Daughter Of Mr., and Mrs. Col
chensky Fell From the Porch
with Serious Results.

Monday evening while playing on
the porch at her home.the little daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. 5. Colchensky,
nineteen months old, fell from the
porch to the ground in such a way
that she bit her tongue nearly sever
ing it. The habys teeth are sharp
and she fell on her head, .he shock
causing her teeth to come together,
which was most unfortunate as she
had her tongue between them. The
teeth nearly met through the tongue
and all but cut it entirely off, DR..
Dresbach was called and after admin
istering chloroform, took two stitches
clear through the tongueand thanks to
the youth and good health of the baby
it is confidently hopeu the member
will grow together as of old. The
operation is a difficult one, owing to
the difficulty in getting at the tongue
aud the fact that it bleeds very freely.

THE GAS WELL BLEW UP.
Something New in the CapePs Which
Natural Gas Can Cut-Tore An
chOrs Loose.

It was believed that Allen county
people has become so familiar with
gas wells that all the tricks and pe-
culiarities of the wells were known.
But last week a new caper was cut by
well east Of town and no explanation
of the cause of 1t has so far been
given.
There are two gas wells east of
Rock creek which are not very dis
tant from each other. Sam Perkins,
the custodian of the wells, made his
regular rounds to see that all was
we'll. He opened up the first well to
let it blow off a minute This well be-
longs to William Lanyon. 1t blew
with its natural vigor. Then Sam
crossed TO the other we'll, the prop
erty of the Lanyon Zinc Company and
allowed it to take puff. All seemed
normal. But when Sam closed down
the later well there was a rumble and
roar and the first well jerked itself
loose from its moorings. The anchor
was torn from the ground, bringing
up several yards of earth and the well
was as free as when twas first opened.
All effort to shut it of proved fruit
less for several days.
The cause of the explosion is not
known. The only theory that seems
plausible is that there is a sub.terran
can connection between the wells, SO
that when the second well was sud.
denly shut down the gas pressure
mounted very suddenly in the first
we'll and the shock was too much for
the anchor.
