CONVINCING PROOF.

Case No. 41,206.-Capt. Alfred G.
Rigler of Hose Company No. 4, Can
ton, Ohio, says: 81 had weak back
ever since I was boy, and about six
years ago the cause developed into
rather bad case of kidney complaint
1t was not little backache now and
then but backache which caused actual
suffering day and night, and the harder
I tried to get rid of it the worse 1T
became.
"When the attacks were in the acute
stage it was difficult to sit down, and
when down it was just as hard to re-
gain an erect position, on account of
the twinges of pain in the kidneys.
can only describe some of the pangs
as similar to that received from a
knife thrust.
GIN time, distressing and terribly in
convenient urinary weakness resulted,
causing annoying embarrassment dur
ing the day and loss of sleep during the
night.
81 took everything which came to my
notice from reading, from observa-
ton, and which my friends and ac-
quaintances advised. consulted
physicians, but none of them were
able to relieve the trouble, let alone
stop it.

from medical companies offering to
cure me, and one day eighteen letters

"When Doan's Kidney Pills attracted
my attention I. wanted to try them
just as had tried everything else, and
Mrs. Rigler went to Durham & Wright

that the medicine was acting directly
on the kidneys from the altered con-
dition of the kidney secretions, and,
encouraged, continued the treat
ment. Finally, the backache and
other complications stopped.
''Let me sum up my opinion about
Doan's Kidney Pills by saying, I would
willingly pay one months wages for
box of them if I could not buy them
for less. You can refer anyone to me
about Doan's Kidney Pills and I will
convince them that they act just as

The Worm Turned.

He loved her devotedly. He was also
bow-legged. Both facts gave him pain at
times.
He passed it by with rueful smile. when
she merrily said that his affection gave him
such an arch look, and that, after all, he
was pretty good sort when you got onto
his curves. He bore it patiently, when she
referred to his walk at his parenthetical
progress. But he rebelIed, and broke the
engagement, when she called her pet dog
through the wicket formed by his legs.
Il may not be so overly ornamental. %

made useful, SO unseasonably early in the

John Beecher, one of the present members of the board of aldermen, died last night at his home, 255 Hamilton street, aftern an illness of six weeks. Rheumatism was the cause of his death.

He also served on other committees and always took a great interestin the work. Mir. Beecher was the leader of the movement which resulted in an eight hour day for the oity's employees. He was also largely instrumental in secur- ing the advance in wages from $150 to s1.75 g. day for these men, and at all times had had the interests of the work ingmen at heart.

CANADIAN ATTORNEYS REPLY.
Answer to U. S. Motions in Greene-
 Gaynor Case.

Quebec, July 15.-This afternoon Messrs. Gaynor and Greene filed their answers to the motions made by counsel for the United States to quash the writs of habeas corpus issued by Judge Caron on June 20 and q. Should the writs be set aside the extradition proceedings will be heard on their merits Among the reasons set forth by counsel for Greene and Gaynor for denying the mo- tions to quash the writs were the fol- lowing:
 That motions and all proceedings in connection with the demand for their extradition were not authorized by the United States of America, which are entirely strangers in the case.
 That no power of attorney nor creden- tials from the United States govern ment have been filed in the record by the supposed counsel for the United States. although frequently asked for.
 That the present proceedings do not in any manner conflict with those taken by Judge Andrews, as previous to the latter rendering his judgment the ac- CuSGu Ildu lutlt WllLS UI td beas corpus, then pending before Judge Andrews.
 That when Marion Erwin made the complaint upon which the demand of extradition was made before Commits sioner La Fontaine he rendered himself unworthy of continuing said proceed ings, as he had offered the accused to compromise by abandoning the demand of extradition on their payment of sum of $5O0,000.
 That Erwin transmitted to Attorney General Knox a report of the proceed ings in this case very injurious to the administration and judicial authority of Canada. In conclusion the accused protested against MT. Erwin's conduct and reiterated their accusation that he offered to settle the present case for $500, O,000

 Split and Carried Away.

New York, July 15.-The schooner yacht Endymion, under charter to F. A. Thomas, won the ocean race from Bren- tons Reef lightship to Seagate for a cup offered by Commodore Robert E. Tod of the Atlantic Yacht club. The distance is 145 miles, but it was 8 beat all the way, against southwest breeze and she sailed some 225 miles, covering the distance in twenty-six house thirty minutes.
 The next yacht in was the schooner Varuna, owned by Vice Commodore Fred Ames, of the same club. She fin- ished at three hours twenty-one min- utes five seconds, making the course in 2S hours 21 minutes and seconds, and the topsail schooner Thistle. the flagship of the club, owned and sailed by Com modore Tod. arrived at three hours fif- ty minutes thirty seconds, her total time being 2S hours 50 minutes 30 sec onds.
 The yawl Ailsa, which started with the others, was disabled off Black Isl- and, and was lowed through the sound to City Island. The Mira, a small sloop, gave up the race.
 There was strong breeze from the southwest almost from start to finish. The Varuna split both her gaff topsails and washed away her f1gurehead. The Thistle carried away her fore topgal- lant mast. The Endymion started fif- teen minutes behind the others, but cha fLo Point was reached and never headed af- ter that. The Thistle did remarkably we'll under mainsail, foresail. three headsails and main gaff topsail. She would undoubtedly have been second boat but for the loss of her mast, as she was rapidly overhauling the Varuna in a stiff breeze between shinnecock and Fire Island lightship, when the mast went over the side. depriving her of the use of her jibtopsail.

 Delivery of Mails.
 Rev. Charles F. Clarke, who has been an earnest worker among the residents of Whitneyville in securing signatures for the petition which calls for the con- tinuation of the present postoff1ce sys- tenn in Whitneyville, stated last evening that the people of Whitneyville under stand thoroughly the difference between the free and rural delivery systems. Rev. MT. Clarke said:
 "Stories in the papers last evening to the effect that we do not understand the situation are entirely without founda- tion. We have gleaned our information from Postmaster Howarth and have perfect idea of the meaning of and diff ference between free and rural delivery. Our petition is against the proposed changes, and is signed by every inf1u- ential resident in Whitneyville. We know what we want and we know what we do not want. We do not want the proposed changes carried into effect. By the proposed changes we will have the city delivery as far as Augur street. leaving fully one-half of Whitneyville subject to the rural free delivery, there- by causing the late deliveries, the rural system to cover the northern half of the town, the line of division being just at the present postoffice.

BREAK IN CHICAGO STRIKE
FOUR ROADS AND THEIR EN-
 PLOYES IN AGREEMENT.
The Strike Only Broken and Not Ended Fight Against the Twenty Other Roads Still in Progress-in the Agree ments Reached Neither Side Can Claim n Victory,
a Victory.

Chicago, July 15.-With agreements reached between four railroads and their employees the great strike of the freight handlers and teamsters that has paralyzed the industries of Chicago for a week is apparently broken, A major ity of the strikers are expected to re- turn to work tomorrow. By Thursday. according to the present outlook, there will be few evidences of the strike. Some of the more radical workmen may refuse to accept the terms, but appar- eritly they will be able to wield but lit- tie influence with the majority of the strikers. It is possible, however that the radicals may prevent the strike from being called off at mass meeting of the freight handlers called for to- morrow morning.
 Upon the action taken at this meeting will depend the attitude of the striking teamsters. Their national president, A. L. Young, ordered them back to work tomorrow, but if the freight handlers refuse to declare the strike off officially some of the teamsters may refuse to WOrk. IL IS COuCcuSu lliClt OAiiNSAo exercise little absolute authoritN
 The four railroads that entered into agreements with their men tonight were the Lake Shore and Michigan Southern, the Chicago and Northwest ern, the Nickel Plate and the Illinois Central. Of the four the Northwestern and the Illinois Central accepted the proposition made upon advice of the teamsters board of arbitration. The Nickel Plate and Lake Shore succeeded in getting their men to sign the scale presented by the railroads July 1.
 Consequently neither the freight handlers nor the railroads claim vic tory As the employees of the Lake Shore were the first to sign, however, the railroads are expressing the great est satisfaction over the break in the strike.
 The freight handlers return to work without having obtained recognition of their union, time and half for over- time or the abolishment of the proba- tion period. On the other hand, the freight handlers have obtained increas- es in pay. the smallest one being twen- ty-f1ve cents day, procured by the truckers.
 While the signing of the agreements breaks the strike, it does not end it. It is still in progress, as far as twenty of the twenty-four railroads in the city are concerned. President Curran and few of his supporters are still unrecon- ciled, and state that they will not rec ognize any of the agreements. The agreement was signed tonight after all hope of break in the strike appeared to be a an end
