which declared that every possible thing
should be done ito put woman in pos

property interest that the spirit of
modern civilization demand" The re-
port further says that the vice of in
temperance should be checked and the
crime of easy divorces which was made
America too conspicuous in the eyes Of
the world, be made impossible.
The duty of the Grange was declared
to be to impress upon the farmer that he
is an American citizen, with political du-
ties to perform, and that the man who
neglects them because politics are too
dirty for him is just as much a criminal
as the man who neglects to drain a cess
poll that threatens his family, because

The President
Of the City Council, Wilkesbarre,
Pa, Cured of Rheumatism.

Col. VIM. ]. Harvey, a president of
Wilkesbarre's city council, who will
long be remembered for his great
work for the city, was once a mere
physical wreck, torn in every muscle
and nerve from the frightful pains
caused by rheumatism. He con-
suited the best physicians, went
abroad, took mud baths, and almost
every known treatment for the dis
ease. One Of the city officials had
had a very similar experience and DR..
David Kennedy's Favorite Remedy
had cured him, so he recommended
this great kidney medicine to his
friend, and Col. Harvey is today a
well man, hale and hearty. In his
own abrupt way he states his case:
DR.. David Kennedy:
Dear Sir:-This is to certify
that l was permanently cured of
rheumatism by the use of DR.. Da-
vid Kennedy's Favorite Remedy.

Nothing could be more direct or
more to the point than this simple
statement.
Rheumtism is but another name for
uric acid poisoning which is caused
primarily by diseased kidneys. Cure

NEW HAMPSHIRE NOTES.

George Listman, clerk in the Elm
House, Swanzey Factory, was assaulted
Monday night soon after leaving an cleo
trio car in South Keene. He met two
men who separated as If TO let him pass
between them. One man said, You are
the man We are looking for" and struck
Listman in the face. knocking him down.
Lstman was dazed, but did not wholly
lose consciousness. He thinks he was not
struck after he fell but when he reached
the Elm House he had bad cut on the
face and bruise on the left side. 1t is
thought that Listman was a victim of
mistaken identity and that the strangers
intended to attack some other man.

Death of krupp, the Great Gun
Maker

F. A. Krupp, the cannon king of Es-
sen," died suddenly from apoplexy Sat
urday. He was the wealthiest man in
Germany and his great iron works in
Essen give employment to 1900 hands,
and furnish armor and ordnance for
nearly every country in the world. A
scandal arising from newspaper charges
had involved Herr Krupp's name recent
ly, and 1t was at first stated that he
committed suicide but there seems to be
no doubt that the cause of death was
apoplexy. The Krupp works were es-
tablished in 1910, and were developed
largely by the father of the late owner,
although they had grown to tremendous
proportions in recent years. Krupp' s
fortune is estimated at SIPS, OOO, 900 or more.
and in recent years he had an income of
several million a year. He developed
the system of modern dwellings for work.
ingmen which his father started, and
owned about $500 buildings of this kind.
He also built an extensive system of fine
hotels in all parts of Germany.

Andrew Carnegie has set aside 5000, 900
For three years Mr.. Prick and Mn.
Carnegie have been bitter enemies. For
mer business partners, Frick incurred
the displeasure of Carnegie. Some
years ago Mr.. Carnegie erected what
was then the finest Office building in
Pittsburg. When he and Frick parted,
Prick obtained property all around 1t
and put up a magnificent building, which
makes the Carnegie building look almost
like a hut Then he obtained the prop
erty across the street, and soon will be-
gin the erection thereon of a great hotel.
Some time ago it was announced that
Mr.. Prick had purchased 16 acres of
land opposite the Carnegie institute, and
the announcement came that Frick would
give to the city a university which
would outrival Carnegie's technical
school. Not only will he erect the build
ings but will provide the site and endow

Follow This Valuable Advice.

Because the proof is in Brattleboro.
You can thus investigate the claims.
When investigated they will prove satsfac-
tory.
1t demonstrates that theory gives way be-
fore facts.
Alvin II. Wilder mason, on Guilford road,
three miles from Brattleboro, says For four
or five years at intervals knew had either
weakened or overexcited kidneys. As my en-
poyment requires a great deal of STOPPING
and considerable lifting and weak and ach.
ing back is not a desirable companion many a
time after hard days work have been so
stiff and sore that could scarcely move. 1
have more than once thought of giving up
work particularly after the contraction of
cold which was sure to settle IN the loins caus-
ing extra aggravation and sometimes trouble
with the kidney secretions. A friend advised
me to use Doan's Kidney Pills and went to
Geo. E. Greene's drug store Tor a box. If it
had not helped me, can guarantee this,
never would have followed up the treatment
until used four more. At the present time
