The Free Press was the only
paper In the county that published
the list of articles placed last week
in the corner stone of the Western
Kansas State Normal school for a
future record of it in history.
1t was a surprise to the whole
community that the other papers
had failed to place a copy of their
paper therein, but only demonstra
tee that the Oldest paper in the
county was still the spryest and
still kept up in the front racks
of the progressive procession,
And as fine lock after rock is
piled on that corner stone it will
remind them of their forgettulness
and the Free Press scoop that day
Always progressive in the lmpor
tant news and everybody read 1t.

HEARKEN We!
To the Voice of Honolulu People.

If you will but listen to your friends
and neighbors they will tell you how
the pains and aches of a bad back, the
annoyances of urinary troubles, the
nervousness, the restlessness which
come from kidney ills can be relieved
and cured. Read what one Honolulu
citizen says:
Writing under date of January 10th,
1899 Jurgen Walter of this city tells
us as follows: MY age is 79-well
past the ordinary span of life-and I
am the parent of eight children. Be-
ing so far advanced in years, I regard
the relief obtained from Doan's Back
ache Kidney Pills.
I suffered from lame back for years,
but after taking some of the pills (pro-
cured at HOLSTERS drug store) was
greatly benefited, and am satisfied the
pills did me much good"
Our kidneys filter our blood. They
work night and Gay. When healthy
they remove about 500 grains of i'm
pure matter daily, when unhealthy
some par. of this impure matter is left
in the blood. This brings on many
diseases and symptoms-pain in the
back, headache, nervousness, hot, dry
skin, rheumatism, govt, gravel, dis
order, eyesight and hearing, dizzi-
ness, irregular heart, debility, drowsi-
ness, dropsy, deposits in the urine, etc.
But if you keep the filters right you
will have no trouble with your kid
neys.

SPECIAL BILL
AT THE ORPHEUM

The Lyceum Stock Company repeats
the melodrama The Judge" tonight
at the Orpheunl. The marked approx
al of an appreciative audience which
witnessed THE Judge" last Wednes-
day demonstrates the fact that the
company plays good plays in man
ner acceptable to the theatre patrons.
The management has just engaged
for child parts the popular little lady,
Baby Ruthfield and this talented lit
tie actress will make her bow to Homo
lulu in her speciality of catchy songs
tonight. The Foyer Critic" has the
following concerning the child-artist:
Baby Ruthfield's speciality, which
called for several encores, was one of
the prominent successes of last even
ing's performance. Her daintily acted
song My Jim's Two Black Eyes was
charming. If this little girl continues
to follow the profession she has select
ed thus early in life, there is no doubt
of Iaurel-crowned successes.
Hugo Herzer. the silver voiced barry
tone, will render several selected bal
lads entirely new. Kunkels assort-
ment of embossed specialtiese will be
scattered about in profusfon.
The big special bill in connection
with the performance of THE Judge"
tonight will be one of the liveliest of
Fourth of IuIv attra ctiOnS.
Hart & Co. will again supply the
audience with souvenir candies, fresh
from their own candy factory.
