ALL WRONG.
The Mistake Is Made by Many Leon
Citizens.

Don't mistake the cause of backache.
To be cured you must know the cause.
1t is wrong to imagine relief is cure.
Backache is kidney ache. You must
cure the kidneys. A Leon resident
tells you how this can be done.
Miles Martindale, living in the south,
west part of Leon, says: "Last winter l
came home from days work and was
taken with chills and fever. Since then
my Kidneys have bothered me. The
secretions from those organs contained
a sediment, were full of acid, scalded,
pain existed IN the loins and kidneys
and during the day if stopped sharp
twinges were my reward and at night l
was unable to straighten if l even sat
still in chair Tor short time. tried
everything which came to my notice in
the shape of medicine but I really
think | was growing worse in place Of
better, Finally deciding to try Doan's
Kidney Pills~I went to L. P. Van Wer-
dun's drug store for a box. They gave
better results than any other medicine
lever tried. They stopped the back
ache and corrected the action of the
kidney secretions. consider this prep

the subject Of fish eating as the cause
OF leprosy- He gives the opinion that
the Catholic fast days are responsible
for the spread of Ieprosy, and that
wherever there is a risk of obtaining

days ought to be forbidden. Reiterat ing

CL0UDBURST
AT MIDNIGHT
Enid, Okla. Struck by a Terrific
Storm.
HUNDREDS ARE HOMELESS
TRANSFORMS ALL OVER THE
WESTERN COUNTRY.
HUNDREDS ARE HOMELESS

II MD, o. T, May 24-HuDdreds OF
persons were rendered homeless
and property damage estimated at
100000 was done in the Enid bottoms
alone by a clOudburst that struck west
of this city at midnight last night The
aggregate damage viii doubtless be
raised much higher by losses sustained
between Enid and the seat of the storm.
At y O'Clock a bank of water three
feet high and 200 feet wide swept down
through the bottoms, carrying houses
and everything before it. Tt came upon
Enid without warning while most of its
citizens were asleep. Within a few
minutes 100 houses were partly or com
pletely submerged. Rescuers went to
work Immediately and all last night Ia
bored industriously saving persons
from perilOus positions and aiding
those driven from their homes. Today
1t was found that several hundred were
homeless.
Many pitiabIe scenes were Witnessed
as the people stood around waiting for
the water to subside- Many had lost
everything they possessed. The citizens
are busily engaged relieving the dis
tress, but the means at hand are in
adequate. The rainfall the past ten
days has been the heaviest in the his
tory of Oklahoma and indications are
that more will follow.
Reports of losses in the country west
Of Enid are meager, but it is believed
that heavy damage was done.

colored bootbIack from Boise. The
trouble arose over the striking of a

The eoIOred man interfered and the

The shooter is under arrest.
A telephone message from Nampa at

states that a crowd of fifteen men made
an attempt to lynch the two cOIored
prisoners, one Of whom was involved in
the shooting of officer John N GrOgan.
The mob secured the jailer's keys and
entered the Jail. When they found they
could not get into the steel cell they i'm
mediately went after Chief of Police
LillaTd and forcibIy took from him the
keys to the cells
Chief Lilliard quickly gathered a
number of special officers and descend

mage the crowd was driven out of the
