Of Doan's Kidney Pills for such cases
as that Of our boy. When he was

we're fall which injured his back and
kidneys He complained Of backache
and was troubled with kidney weak
ness, annoying at night, causing me
trouble and anxiety. We tried many
remedies, and doctors treated him, but
nothing did him much good. When +
learned about Doans Kidney Pills 1
sent to F. M. Parkers drug store and
got a box. There was a noticeable I'M
provement in a short time and after he
used two and a half boxes, all symp-
toms Of his weakness and pains in the
back disappeared. The cost of Doan's
Kidney Pills is nothing compared to
doctors bills, and their work is decid-
eddy satisfactory"

ADVICE TO MOTHERS.
THIS INFORMATION WILL PROVE
A BOON TO ST. PAUL
MOTHERS.

If a juvenile member of your family
lacks control over the kidney secre-
tons at night do not scoId or whip
the child. The coating or lining of
the bladder is inflamed and the Sc
cretions are so full of acid that they
irritate that organ and bed wettinq
is the result. The hundreds of testi-
nnonials from every state in the I'm
ion, all declaring children have been
cured of this weakness by the use
of Doan's Kidney Pills, prove that
at least in their case the remedy did
what was promised, namely, stop
ped the so-calIed habit. Here is
proof for St. Paul mothers.

FORESTS OF SPRUCE
IN THE STREETS.

The small forests of spruce trees that
apparently spring from the ground in
front of many of the stores of the city
give some idea of the general celebra-
ton of Christmas by the time honor
ed custom of having a Christmas tree.
Not only is it likely, judging by the
records of former years that practical
ly all of these trees will be sold, but
numbers of other trees, chiefly the ma
tive pine, will also be used.
The spruce trees because of their
beautiful foliage are favorites, but as
a rule those received here are rather
small and so are used for family Oh rst-
mas celebrations whereas for the lar
ger affairs. such as Sunday-school
celebrations, it is necessary to Sc
cure a tree or trees that will hold
hundreds of presents and so the lar
ger trees are secured. The custom
of having such celebrations seems to
be growing in Savannah for there is
scarcely a Sunday school or a charity
society that does not have a celebration
of this kind either Immediately before
or after Christmas.

WITH FRACTURED SKULL
INFANT WAS FOUND.
The Police Have a Murder Mystery
to Solve.

The Police Have n Murder Mystery
TO Solve.
In a wooden cracker box on the
Ogeechee canal bank, less than a mile
west of the city, the body Of mulatto
baby, a girl, about two months old,
was found yesterday afternoon, and
the police have murder mystery to
solve.
An examination Of the remains by
Coroner Keller disclosed the fact that
death had been caused by a blow on
the head. The infants head was
crushed in and no doubt was left that
a homicide had occurred. It was the
opinion of the coroner that a particu-
larly violent blow had been struck to
have fractured the skull as it was.
AS soon as the matter was reported
at police headquarters some of the
plain clothes men We're hurried out to
make an investigation. Little informa-
ton could be secured although the
officers are working on a slight clue.
1t was not known at police headquar-
ters that the infant had been murdered
until after dark and the officers were,
for this reason, badly handicapped 1t
is expected, however, that there will be
developments during the day.
The body was taken to the canal
bank during the afternoon by three ne
gro men and was partly buried They
carried the box in a crocus sack and
selected an out of the way place on
the canal bank for the interment, The
men were seen going to the place with
the bundle, and were seen when they
left. Some time after they had left
an investigation was made by a negro
who saw them at work.
When the box was unearthed and
opened the remains of the dead infant
were found. They had been crowded
into the receptacle and the lower limbs
were doubled up under the body. There
was nothing about the box, or the in
FAINT, TO make identification possible,
and those who saw the three men with
it were unable to give the police an &C
curate description of the negroes. But
the police hope to secure additional in
formation and to be able to clear up a
case that is now shrouded in mystery
Just what the murderer's motive
could have been is puzzling the police,
and it was suggested that possibly
the baby was accidentally killed, and
had been buried on the canal bank so
that funeral expenses might be saved.
The police say that if the mother had
wanted to get rid Of the infant she
would have done so when 1t was first
born. They figure that she would
hardly have waited until it was two
months old to take it's life, and that
even If she did she would not have
trusted her secret to three men.
One theory is that the blow on the
head that caused the death of the
baby was intended for some one else
The police say that there may have
been a row and that blow intened
for the mother or some one else in
the room, may have landed on the side
of the infants head This is regarded
as the most probable theory since the
remains were buried by three men. But
with the meagre facts in the possess
sion of the police the death of the in
FAINT girl is a mystery.

S65,OOO COLLECTED
IN TAXES SATURDAY.
Will BE Largely Increased When
Checks Are Received.

Checks Are Received.
Though the county tax books closed
Saturday afternoon at 2 o'clock a
large amount of money came into the
Office of the collector after that hour in
payment of taxes. A large number
of checks were received yesterday, and
it is believed that many more will be
received this morning.
The round amount collected Satur-
day was $4,000, which is nearly $780,
600 below the record for the last day
that the books are open. This amount,
however will be materially increased
when checks mailed Saturday after
noon are received by the collector,
and it is expected that in the neigh
borhood of $4,000 will be the sum to-
tai of the days collections.
Collector Thomson says that he has
not the slightest idea how the figures
this year compare with those Of pre-
vious years, as he has not had time yet
to make comparison. The clerks were
at the office of the collector until IL
o'clock Saturday night entering the
days receipts and checking over the
various amounts.
The great stacks of money and
checks had to be counted over and
over, and a large number of errors
made by taxpayers in making out
their checks, noted. More or less of
these errors occur every day, but they
are quickly caught and notice is given.

WINDOWS SHATTERED
BY HIGH WIND.
Storm Felt in Savannah, Though
Not In Full Strength.

Storm Felt in Savannah. Though
Not In Full Strength.
Northwest storm signals were hoist
ed yesterday at II o'clock for Cara
Belle, Fla. to Savannah. and south
west signals along the Atlantic coast
from Charleston to Portland. The full
force of the storm was not felt here
though the wind blew at times with
a velocity of twenty-five miles an hour.
During the time that the wind was
strongest many windows about the city
were broken.
The large sign hanging about the
Germania Banks new building was
blown loose and several pieces of lathe
were hurled against the windows by
the wind, breaking two of them. Many
windows in private dwellings were
broken by the shutters being blown
against them, and the window in the
door of the Sacred Heart rectory was
also shattered. The large glass adj
vertisements of the attractions at the
Savannah theater were blown over and
the glass scattered in all direction.
The storm is central over the New
England states, and report show that
it is of greater strength than usual.
High winds and rain mark it every
where. The temperatures fell off con-
siderably, especially in the storm CEN
ters and at o'clock last night Boston
reported a higher temperature than
Savannah. There was a difference Of
Z degrees in the registrations at the
two cities.
The highest winds were reported as
follows: Savannah, twenty-five miles
from the northwest: Atlanta, forty
miles from the northwest: Augusta,
thirty-siX miles from the same direc-
ton; Hatteras, forty-siX miles from the
southwest; Jacksonville, fortysix miles
from the south; and Wilmington, thir-
ty-four miles from the same direction.
The highest temperature reached in
Savannah yesterday was 81 degrees at
o'clock. From that time on mer-
curry fell rapidly, and at o'clock
at night recorded the lowest up to
that time 45 degrees. BY midnight 1t
had fallen to 40 degrees. No exces-
sively low temperatures are expected
for to-day.

CONVERTS IMMERSED
IN OGEECHEE CANAL.
Four COIOred Baptists Were Dipped
in the Cold Waters.


While the wind was bowling along
at gait that made it difficult to
keep hats in place, four colored con-
verts were baptized at the foot of Olive
street yesterday between IL and l
o'clock in the waters of the Ogeechee
canal The immersing was witnessed
by a large crowd, which lined both
banks of the canal.
Shortly after IL o'clock Rev. ]. M.
Milton, pastor of the Bethany Mission
airy Baptist Church. colored, and Rev.
B. w. Williams, a licensed preacher,
entered the canal They proceeded to
mid-stream and stopped at a point
where the water was nearly shoulder
deep. Then, while the members of the
congregation Joined in singing an old
time hymn, the candidates began en-
tering the water.
The first to enter was an old man,
clad in light clothing and wearing a
long white robe. When he reached
the minister a few words of the ritual
were spoken and he was lowered I'M
til the water entirely covered him.
When he was loosed he started brisk
ly for the shore. On the shore he was
wrapped in a warm blanket and hur-
ried away.
The next candidate was a young boy.
He was followed by a woman, and
the last to enter the water was an
other boy. All came out with chat
tering teeth and trembling knees. and
there were few evidences of any eX-
cess of even spiritual warmth. The
long white robes were clinging close
ly to their bodies.
Prayer was offered by Rev. Mil
ton, after which he and his assistant
hurried to the shore. 1t was difficult
to tell which was the colder, the min
listers or the candidates. The congre-
cation then formed in a procession
about their two spiritual leaders and
took their way back to the church,
singing as they moved away from the
Ogeechee.
Rev. Williams, when asked if it were
not pretty cold out in the canal, said
that of course it was none too warm,
but that the cold water was the best
test of the reality of the conversion
of the sinners. In case any of the can
didates object to the dipping he sage
ly said: I'VE simply recommend them
to the Methodists, where they can get
off with a sprinkling."
The crowd which witnessed the cere-
mony was a large one, lining both
sides of the canal from the Bay street
bridge to a point opposite Congress
street. The majority of them were coll
ored people.

Had Negro and Wheel.

1t is believed that an owner has been
found for the Nyack bicycle. the re-
covery of which was announced in the
Morning News yesterday. The superin-
tendent Of police has received tele-
gram from the sheriff of Beaufort
county, S. c.. stating that the wheel

The owner learned through the col
umns of Sundays Morning News that
the police had recovered a Nyack bicy-
Gle of 1901 model and that the negro in
whose possession it was found claimed
to have purchased it six years ago.
The Beaufort county sheriff at once
wired the Savannah police to hold both
the negro, and the wheel. and that
an officer would come at once for the
prisoner. The suspect is Joe Singleton
and he insists that the bicycle is his
own property. The telegram to the
Savannah police was received only a
few hours after the Morning News was
issued.
