Treat Your Kidneys For Rheuma-
tiSm

When you are suffering from IN
matism, the kidneys must be attended
to at once so that they will eliminate
the uric acid from the blood. Foley's
Kidney Cure is the most effective rem
edy for this purpose. r. T. Hopkins,
of Palor, Wis, says: After unsuc-
cessfully doctoring three years for
rheumatism with the best doctors,
tried Foley's Kidney Cure and it cured
me. 1 cannot speak too highly of this
great medicine"

in HER HEART

A Young Woman's Strange At
tempt at Suicide.

Providence, r. l., July 24.-An
autopsy on the body of Miss Leonie
Jodoin. novice who spent the last
two years in a convent at Flushing,
L. l.. has helped clear up a mysterious
affliction which had baked the best
physicians of New York and Rhode
Island.
In the, young woman's heart wad
found imbedded steel hatpin. minus
the head, and four and quarter
inches in length. In the stomach was
found part of another and similar
pin, headless, but one and quarter
inches long.
DR.. Chagnon, who attended the girl,
says the larger pin was forced into the
body by the girl, evidently in a hys-
terical attempt to penetrate the heart
He says it could not have been swal-
lowed and he is also of the opinion
that the head must have been at
tached to the pin when the attempt
was made and broken off when the
pin had been forced as far as the
head would permit it to go.
The smaller pin might have found
its way to the girls stomach by way
of her mouth, but the doctor thinks
that improbable. So far as can be
learned the reason for the girls strange
attempt at self destruction is a mys-
terry TO her relatives as well as to the
attending physician.
Miss Jodoin was thought to be suf-
fering from consumption until several
months ago, when an operation re-
vealed a needle one and a quarter
inches long, which was removed from
her stomach. N

DOESN'T LIKE THEIR WAY.
Farmer Will Test Union Pacific
Right-of- Way Franchise.

Salina, Dec 31.-Gotthart Schippel,
one of the wealthiest farmers in Saline
county, has filed suit in the district
court against the Union Pacific Railway
company for possession of certain pro-
perty along the company's right of way.
The result of the case will be of interest
to property owners along the entire
system, as it viii be the settlement of
a question which has long been in con-
troversy, pertaining TO the number of
feet of ground the company is entitled
to on each side of their. right of way
The company claims = the right to 400
but most. of the land was taken up by
settlers before the grant was given to
the company. The land Schippel claims
was taken up by the original owner be-
fore the grant to the company, and they
purchased 400 feet as a right of way
through the property. >Schlppel bought
the other 300 feet from the original
claimant as part Of his homestead.
A short time ago the company sent on
a lot of workmen and in the ni&ht re-
built the fence so that it took in 200 feet
on each side of the road. Schippel has
owned the land for so years and no
claim was ever made for extra lane for
the right of way, but when the land be-
came worth $40 to $50 per acre the COM
pany claimed it under the original grant.
If the case is decided against the plain
tiff the result win be that every quarter
section of land through which the roadl
runs will lose about 25 acres of land.
This land was settled on in 1852 and
the Union Pacific had not received it's
grant west of Junction City at that time
but was intending to build up the Re-
publican valley.

LOST CHRISTMAS GIFTS.
Thousands of Bundles Find Their Way
to Dead Lead Letter Office.

Washington, Dec. 31.-There are thou
sands of persons all over the country who
today are firmly of the belief that relatives
and friends who usually remember them
with Christmas gifts this year passed them
over This may be true in some cases, but
there would be fewer thoughts of this KIND
if the tremendous pile OF packages ana
boxes now piled up in the dead letter Of
flee of the postoffice department here mad
been directed with more care and legtDll-
ity. Thousands of bundles have found
their way to the dead letter Off1ce De-
cause they could not be delivered by lea-
son of mistakes in the addresses
The experts of the service. who are able
to tell by some sort of intuition for whom
the INSTRUCTED packages are INTENDED, are
hard at work correcting the errors OF The
senders. But the pile OF packages VIII IN
crease every day for the next week or
two, as the postoffices in remote parts OF
the country contribute their portion or
ownerless bundles. Many of the boxes
will be sent to their proper destinations,
but hundreds of them are doomed to re-
main in the storeroom of the dead letter
office.
Early next December they win be taken
out, broken open and their contents placed
in small envelopes, which will then ne
sealed and disposed of by sale The Slrts
intended for this year Will bring cheer or
disappointment to thrifty buyers a { the
next Christmas sale of the effects OF the
dead letter office. The accounts of the
show that Uncle Sam netted s5.535 as a
result of the carelessness of persons in ,it-
recting package and letters for Christmas
of 1901. In all there were 3, l22 packages
disposed of at the last sale, so tnaI tne
bundles brought an average of $113. Prob
ably the richest prize drawn in the lottery
was secured by a man who made. blind
bid of 80 on a diamond ring When he
broke open the package and showed the
gem to a jeweler, who was present, the
latter offered him $50 for the ring.

Boston, Dec 31-1n the coming peace
negotiations between the National and
American leagues a strong effort will
be made for consolidation in cities
where there are now conflicting clubs.

not expect, however. that consolidation
will be brought about this year
Il would consider buying or I would
consider selling both as business propo-
sitions," said SOden. land if consolida-
tiOn is brought about this year or next
or the year after that-if there are still
two gues-Boston will be a National

IF there were but one league, what

to create another baseball warp

Senator EIkins Wants Liberal Pro-
vision Made for Navy.

Washington, Dec. alive should ouil1
so more battleships before talk about
pairing down naval appropriations, said
Senator Elkins. I'VE should make liberal
provision for four more new battleships
al the present session, and if I understand
the sentiment among the members of the
senate. we are going to get a substantial
increase. 1t is idle for us to close our eyes
to the possibility that may sooner or
later become involved in war with one
of the great powers of Europe as the re-
suit of our new policy of territorial eX-
pansion. We might as well look the situa-
ton squarely in the face and be prepared
to defend our interests and assert our
rights in all parts of the world. ~4,
II am not only in favor of making pro-
visions for several additional battleships
at the present session. but l am also in
favor of making appropria tons for start

tory in this country. What we need in ad-
dition to fighting ships is a new supply of
small arms for our soldiery. l know this
kind of thing may sound like what might

stories. which fitted. in perfectly and
showed his remarkably good sense. l

PULLS LIONS TOOTH.
Animal Chloroformed and Tooth Re-

Barnwell ILL.,, Dec. 31.-A local dentist
Dr. J. Watson Powers, had a thrilling ex-
perience and one that he will not soon for
get.
McKay's circus is wintering here and
the menagerie is remarkably fine one.
Among the animals is a Nubian lioness
Queen Esther. She is a daughter of the
former Queen of the old fair grounds me-
nagerie of st. Louis. 1t will be remem-
bered that the latter was noted for her
ferocity.
Not long since Queen Esther was seized
with terrible toothache, and for the
past week she has sent cold shivers up
the backs of the townspeople by her roars
of pain and anger.
The trainer, Captain Bernard, who has
had vast experience with wild animals
did everything he could to relieve her
sufferings, but his efforts proved unavail-
ing. Finally he determined to have the
offending molar extracted.
That is why he called on Dr. Powers
He found the latter sitting in his office
smoking a cigar cite and lolling back in
an easy chair, attired in the new red
smoking jacket his sweetheart gave him
for Christmas
Doctor, how long would it take you to
pull tooth?' asked the trainer
about one minute and without pain"
said the doctor, Tipping the ashes off his
cigarette and getting ready for swift dem
tai action.
But this is a lions TOOTH" said the
trainer, and the doctor, who is a tinid
man, Immediately had seven different
kinds of fits.
1t took two hours hard talking to get
him to agree to perform the operation

of the circus company and the doctor
had no sooner entered than Queen Esther

on the head and she nestled close to him

but missing the skin.
Then Queen Esther was asleep.

said afterward he afraid every minute
the effects of the chloroform would wear
off and that the terrible beast would
awaken and find him. an entire stranger,

moved.
Then DR.. Powers went out into the fresh
air and drew long breath of relief.
He got $50 for the work, but he says it
was worth it.

VANDERBILT A WITNESS.
Frank Answers Given to Questions
Regarding milling Houses.

New York, Dec. 30.-Reginald C. VAN
derbilt, it was positively stated today,
has appeared before District Attorney
Jerome in the John Doe" gambling in
quiry instituted by the district attorney
and aimed al Canfield's gambling house.
1t was further developed that Mr.. Van
derbilt, disdaining to fall back on the
means of evasion adopted by Jesse
Iewisohn. answered frankly and
promptly every question that was put 10
him. These question and answers were
kept secret. as it would be violation
of the law for any official to make them
public until they have been laid before
the grand Jury. 1t is said. however, that
Mr. Jerome is more than satisfied with
the result of his examination of the
young millionaire. It is assumed by
those who recall the story of young Mr.
Vanderbilt's alleged losses in Garfield 5
on the occasion of his birthday supper
at Sherry's. while he was stu student
at Yale, that Mr.. Jerome questlone1
him about his knowledge of Garfield $
gambling house in East Forty-fourth
street If such questions were asked,
Mr. Vanderbilt. it may be stated, an
swered them without reserve.
District Attorney Jerome was further
elated by the sweeping and final decis-
ion of Justice Scott, in the supreme
court, in the Lewiston habeas corpus
case According to this decision. Mr..
Lewiston must answer the questions
asked him at the last hearing before
Justice wait or 60 TO JAIL MI JET ONE
says there is positively no alternative.
This decision, the most important and
sweeping that has yet been rendered in
the gambling cases. authorizes the dis
trict attorney to continue the John
Doe method of investigation, and to
summon and compel to testify witnesses
from among the wealthy patrons of the
alleged gambling houses. These men,
according to the method adopted by Mr..
Jerome, will be protected from publicity
/ if they answer the questions If they
refuse, as in Mr. Lewisohn's case, they
VIII be arrested for contempt of court,
and under Justice SCOTS ruling will be
sent to Jail.
