A Struggle for Life.

Eagle River, Mo-, Jan. 19.-Maggie
e. Decker, hard working woman, 40
years of age, whose home is here, has
just gone through thrilling battle
for her life. Many another would
have lain down and died, for for
twelve long years she has suffered the
most awful pains.
She had Kidney Trouble and Rheu-
matism combined with a very distress
ing stomach trouble. At last she got
SO bad that she could not sleep, for she
ached all over and was so lame that
she could scarcely walk. She spent
oyer a hundred dollars in different
medicines. but only to be disappointed,
for everything failed to help her.
At last. however, just when she was
beginning to despair of ever finding
a remedy, she heard of Dodd's Kidney
pills and bought six boxes. She says:
Now can eat well, sleep we'll, and
arn feeling splendid. God bless Dodd's
Kidney Pills. for they saved my life.
MS' troubles were many, but Dodd's
Kidney Pills cured me completely. But
for them surely would have died."

A YOUTHFUL ROBBER.
A Sixteen. year.old Boy Admits to Robbins
Family He Boarded With.


Family He Boarded With.
Ezra Denany was taken to the county
Jail this morning in default Of $500 bail,
for robbing the home of Chas. Walsh, on
Hume street. 1t appeared at the hear
ing before Judge Pearson, yesterday,
that tie boy had boarded with the Walsh
family, and that during their absence
from the house, Monday evening, gold
watch, 5000 in cash, and a check for
$lO2.O5 was stolen from under Mrs.
Walsh's pillow.
The facts that Denany was familiar
with the Walsh house, and had served a
term in the reform school, caused sus.
picion to rest upon the boy and by some
shrewd work by the police authorities
the lad was arrested, and good rart OF
the plumber recovered.
Young Denany had hired buggy and
went to Hoquiam, and, coming back to
Aberdeen, Monday night, accompanied
by another boy and two girls, the quar-
tette proceeded to have high old time.
When arrested Tuesday morning, Denanv
had the check and $2S.4O in cash on
him, and the watch was recovered later
at one of the Midway houses, where it
had been left to keep for the young thief,
so that he had succeeded in squandering
$17l.60 before being overtaken by the
law.
