MEDICINAL.
Look Here For It
It's What the Reader Has
Long Sought.
MEDICINAL.

People will read advertisements about cures
made by medicine. As they read they wonder
if the statements are true. If true, was the
relief temporary or permanent? Read this
case about Doans Kidney Pills;
w. II. Clark. Of Bepnet street, accountant
at the Bloch Bros. Tobacco Works, Wheeling,
w. Va, says: eff my back aches | know
what will cure it; Doan's Kidney Pills.
They are the best remedy ever came across.
For months was plagued with backache,
not sharp pains, but dull aching all the
time that made me feel miserable. | got med
icine on different occasions from doctors, and
it seemed to relieve me for the time, but it
was soon as bad as ever. Hearing Of Doan's
Kidney Pills, / took a course of the treatment.
They cured me, and that cure has been lasting.

The River.

The river this morning presented a
bleak picture. The high northwest
wind of last night had blown the water
from some of the docks and the low tide
had exposed the mud banks of large
portion Of the flats on both sides of the
river. The water in Hunting creek and
the cove, had been blown out in places
almost to the channel bank. Consider
able ice formed during the night. The
steamer Norfolk was an hour and halt
late this morning and did not stop at
this port, keeping on to Washington
She had been delayed by head winds
and low tides

A Cold Wave.

The fall in temperature which be-
gan yesterday continued far into the
night and after dark the northwest wind
blew sharp and cold. The streets soon
became deserted. This morning most
window panes were Opaque by reason OF
the coating of frost which had formed
on them. The wind during the night
veered to the south and the temperature
today rose somewhat. The mercury
in the thermometer stood at 200.

To Make Trade.

The idea that there is just so much
trade has been abandoned by experienced
business men. They find that business
may be created by advertising-that
people can be induced to become buyers
when they have had no intention to
make purchases. BY special sales and
by convincing people that it is to their
advantage to get things now the mer-
chants keep the wheels going. Persons
in every line can do the same Phila-
delphia Record.

A Lone Ledger.

But one stranger appeared at the
station house last night for shelter AS
heretofore stated, tramps this winter are
giving Alexandria wide berth, as most
of them are aware of the fact that no
fire is kept in the quarters of the station
house assigned them. They therefore
conclude that box cars or depot sheds
are equally as comfortable aud use such
places when night overtakes them.

Horse Fell.

A horse attached to one of the Mutual
Ice Company's wagons fell at the north
east corner of King and Fairfax streets

drivers into the street. Fortunately
neither the men nor the horse was seri-
ously hurt. The wagon had come down
King street at lively gait and in turn
ing into Fairfax street the animal slipped
on the smooth vitrifed bricks which
caused the accident.

The wrecking of a freight train on the
Washington Southern Railway near
