Every Claim Is Backed by Local Test
m0ny.

If the reader wants a stronger proof
than the following statement and
experience of resident of Plymouth,
what can it be?
Samuel Riggens, section foreman on
the Pittshurg R. R., living in the
last house on Miner St., says: ''When
1 first noticed kidney complaint some
years ago, the attacks were mild, but
as time passed they became of longer
duration and were more acute, until
about a year ago, when they forced me
to stop work and 60 to bed for three
weeks. l know from the action of the
kidney secretions, which were highly
colored and contained sentiment and
from their frequency, particularly at
night that took my kidneys was to be
attributed the whole cause Of the dis
turbance. That, combined with
severe pain across the loins which
prevented me from STOPPING or doing
anything with an average degree of
ease, led me to consult doctor. He
told me was verging on Bright'S dis
ease. Things ran along like this for
the last few months until sent Mrs.
Riggens to ]. W. Hess drug store for
Doao's Kidney Pills. The treatment
positively stopped too frequent action
of the kidney secretions and tided me
over the last attack of backache.

The answer further states that the
father of the boy Chippie was killed
as result of his own negligence. He
was not indebted to the firm at the
time of his death. His earnings for
the previous six months from Feb
ruary to July, inclusive, amounted to
$3.50. Mrs. Chippie paid nothing on
account of rent or coal.

Rates to Be Higher.

Freight rates on nearly all cummodi
ties transported by Western railroads
are to be materially increased during
the uext thirty days, says the Chicago
Record Herald. The rates projected
will be at least per cent. in all COM
modify tariffs. The officials of the
railroads are actuated largely by the
fear that the increased cost of every
thing that railroads buy will make
the maintenance Of the present divi-
dend rates impossible during 1903.

ANOTHER GHoUL Is CAPTURED
Cantrell, the Negro Body-Snstcher at Tndi
anapolis, Puts Mike Foley In
Prison Cell.

Indianapolis, Jan. civilian Cof-
felt, a machinist 80 years of age, liv-
ing at 1915 North Arsenal avenue, was
arrested Sunday at the county jail,
where he had gone to talk with Rufus
Cantrell. The detectives say he has
disturbed graves under the alias of
Mike Foley, and is an old offender. 1t
is charged that he operated with a
man named John Shea, whom the po-
lice have not yet been able to locate.
Confelt's arrest was the outcome Of a
visit he made TO the Jail the afternoon
Of Sunday, Dec %, at which time he
talked to Cantrell. He said he would
come again last Sunday afternoon,
and detectives were waiting for him.
He was given admittance and asked
Cantrell if the body of his aunt had
been stolen from its grave. Cantrell
then for the first time informed the
hidden detectives of the alleged identi-
ty of the mysterious Foley who has
been wanted

A man with daughters need not feel
ashamed In New Zealand. He's a po-
litical power, big man in the district
in which he resides. All women over
twenty-one years Of age can vote. so
the man with many daughters often
decides a closely contested election.
Then, again, women are much sought
after matrimonially, for they are out
numbered by the men two to one.
There is no need for woman becom-

oil Of mathematics.

In Pennsylvania the oil Of rattle
snakes is preserved most carefully as a
Imminent especially good for sore joints
and for rheumatism. In procuring the
oil the dead snake is nailed head and
tail to a board and cut Open The fat
is taken out and laid upon cloth in
the hot sun, from which the filtered oil
drips into a jar. From fear that the
reptile may have bitten itself the clear
oil is tested by dropping portion of it
into milk. If it floats in one globule, 1T
is regarded as unaffected: If. on the
other hand, it breaks into beads and
curdles the milk, it is judged to be pol
sonous and thrown away.

Distribution AT ST. LOUIS
Family Found, with Husband and Child
Dead, and the Others Starving
To Death.

st. Louis. Jan. Sick and tossing
on a miserable couch in a poverty
stricken abode, and surrounded by her
five young children, the police Satur-
day found Mrs. Nancy McKan. slow
ly dying from hunger. The dead
bodies of her husband and 10 months
old grandson lay in the same room.
There was no fire and no food. One
Of the children lay on the couch with
the suffering mother, flushed with
fever.
The husband had died from con-
sumption and the infant grandson had
succumbed to insufficient nourishment.
The case was so appalling in its desti-
tuition that the two officers who had
accidentally discovered it provided
coal and food from their own pockets
and then took the opportunity to make
a report for speedy charity.

No reason exists, says a foreign jour-
nal, why persons should not keep their
beloved ones with them after death,
since their bodies can very easily be
mummifed. The ancient Egyptians, 1t
continues, were experts at this art. and
close study Of some of their mum
mics shows how they did the work.
The body is placed in boiler which
contains chloride of calcium and which
is heated to 125 degrees and after re-
naming there for certain time is TAX
en- out and stepped for twenty-four
hours In cold solution Of sulphate of
sodium. By that time II is transformed
into perfect mummy, and the mourn
ing relatives or friends IAN safely take
it home and install it. in place of
honor.

WHERE IS DUDLEY ATT.
Sherif:aIty of Sullivan County
Seems To Be a Matter of
Much Uncertainty.
CIRCUIT JUDGE STANDS BY DUDLEY
County Commissioners Hit Him Hard
One More Ghoul Given Away
by Cantrell-State Notes.

Sullivan, Ind. Jan. 6-That the au-
thorities and people of Sullivan coun-
ty means to recognize John F. Dud-
ley as sheriff of Sullivan county was
Indicated yesterday morning when the
January term Of the circuit court
opened and Judge A. 3. Harris recog-
ntzed Dudley as sheriff Dudley is per-
forming the usual functions Of the
sheriff about the court. But his case
received body blow when the coun-
ty commissioners held a session and
turned down his claims for $500, due
him as sheriff Of the county. While
the commissioners have not said what
they will do in allowing claims to the
sheriff, it is understood that they will
not recognize Dudley as that officer.
Dudley has not filed his bond for his
new term.
Things Are Pretty Badly Mixed.
Notwithstanding that the county
clerk has recognized Maxwell as sher-
IN by turning over to him papers to
be served by the sheriff." Maxwell is
not certain whether he is coroner or
sheriff. The case became more tangled
thai ever by the court recognizing
Dudley and commissioners turning him
down. People Of the county can not
understand how one man is to act as
sheriff OF the court and another as the
one who is to obey instructions from
the clerk of that court County Clerk
Robert Taylor said that he turned the
document from Indianapolis over to
Maxwell, but was careful to give a
duplicate of it to Dudley. From this
action good many people think he is
recognizing both men as sheriff of the
csunty.
Governor Gives Up the Case.
indianapolis. Jan. 6. = Governor
Durbin was not greatly surprised at
the information that Dudley had been
recognized as sheriff by the judge Of
the circuit court. but he indicated that
the Dudley matter is closed incident
with him so far as the present is con-
cerned- 1T looks a little as il they
were trying to draw me into suit
to test the law" he unused. However
think it is up to Sullivan county to
dispose of the matter at this time" At
torney General Miller is not prepar-
ing to take Any action now.

LAND REFORM IN ERIN MARKLES' STATEMENT
Conference of Landlords and
Tenants Reports That the
Time Is Ripe.
CHANCE TO SETTLE TIE TROUBLE
Looks Like the, "Irish Question" May
Soon Disappear from Brit
ish Politics.

London, Jan. 5.-The Irish land con-
ference has issued q voluminous report
of its deliberations, In which 1t Is de-
clared that the only satisfactory settle
ment Of the existing land question is
the substitution Of an occupying or
proprietary ownership oe land for the
existing dual ownership. As the pro-
cess Of direct state interference in pur-
chase and resale would be generally
tedious and unsatisfactory, therefore,
except where owners or half occupy
ers SO desire, and except in those dis
tricts under the congested districts
board, the report recommends that the
settlement should be made between
the owner and the occupier, subject
to the necessary investigation by the
state as to title, rental and security.
What Should BE Paid Landlords,
The report emphasizes the Desirable
ty Of inducing landlords to continue to
reside in Ireland, and with this pur-
pose in view 1t says an equitable price
should be paid to owners, based upon
income, and that provision ought to be
made for the resale to owners of man.
sion houses and demesnes. The pur-
chase price should either be assurance
by the state Of such income, or the
payment of a capital sum producing
it at 8 per cent or 81 per cent. If
guaranteed 10y the state tenants re-
payments should be extended for a
term of years, securing a, reduction Of
from Is to % per cent. on rents.
Time to Settle 1t IL Now.
To do this may involve some assist
ance from the state beyond the use Of
its credit, and the report considers that
such assistance would be justified full
~ In the future welfare OF Ireland and
the settlement of this vexed problem.
The report offers no definite financial
proposals, but it considers that an I'M
exampled opportunity exists at the
present moment to deal with this Ques-
ton successfully. 1t declares also that
the solution OF theland question should
be accompanied by a settlement of the
evicted tenants question upon an equit-
able basis.
Going 70 Consult Roosevelt.
Captain Shawe-Taylor, secretary Of
the conference. left here yesterday for
the United States. He goes to ascer-
tain the views of President Roosevelt
and other prominent United Statesans
on the land question. In an interview
before leaving Captain Shawe-Taylor
said: THE government now for the
first time has before it a practical solu-
ton Of this question acceptable to both
land owners and occupiers; it would
be a national calamity If, while truce
exists between the two parties, this
unique opportunity is allowed to pass"
