FASHIONS FOR WOMEN.

Never has the ostrich feather been
so cleverly and artistically handled as
this season. It's charm and beauty are
doubly enhanced - by the graceful
sweep over the top of the hat and by
the way in which it is disposed against
the brim facing. In many instances
the end of the plume is thrust through
a slit made in the hat, and quill is
placed over it to give a finish, or a
rosette conceals the end.-From the
Delineator for August.

He had been given the liberty OF the

LASTING EFFECT.
This Evidence Should Prove Every
Claim Made for Doan's Kidney
Pills in Billings.

Relief from the pains and aches of
bad back is always welcome to every
backache sufferer; but to cure
lame, weak or aching back is what's
wanted. Cure it so it will stay cured.
1t can be done Here's the strongest
evidence to prove it:
James Niles, carpenter, of Is East
Cimmarron street, Colorado Springs,
says: when Doan's Kidney Pills
cured me of an aggravated attack Of
kidney complaint and backache in the
summer of 1899 l made that fact
known to the citizens of Colorado
Springs through the newspapers SO
that others who had kidney complaint
in any of it's various forms might
know what course to pursue to get re-
lief. My opinion of Doan's Kidney
Pills then expressed is the same to-
day as it was when they were first
brought to my notice. To say re-
endorse the preparation mildly ex-
presses what | think of it,"

Caracas, March 22.-President Cas-
tro has resigned. He placed his resig-
nation of the presidency of the repub-
lie of Venezuela in the hands of the
president of the congress, after read
ing the presidential message. The
functions of the Office are turned over
to General Velutini, president of the
senate.
In the ordinary course of events
President Castro's term would have
ended February 20, 1908. He was
elected president of Venezuela in Feb
ruary of last year, for six years, be-
ginning February 20, 1902.
Washington, March 22.-Secretary
Hay last night received a dispatch
from Mr.. Russell, the United States
charge at Caracas, confirming the re-
port of President Castro's resignation,
but stating that he doubted if the
Venezuelan congress would accpet it.
Gen. veIutini May Not Secure 1t.
Caracas, March 22.-General Velu-
tint. to whom Castro has turned over
the functions of the presidential Of
flee, is said to be one of the cleverest
and shrewdest men in Venezuelan pub
lie life. 1t is believed that If the Ven
ezuelan congress refuses to accept
the resignation, as intimated by Mr.
Russell, the United States charge at
Caracas, in his dispatch to Secretary
Hay, it will be to circumvent any &C
ton looking to Velutini's getting the
| power of government in his hands.

ident Castro of the presidency. as an

state department from Mr.. Russell

announcement of the fact Beyond
expressing the hope that this move
would in no way interfere with the
Washington negotiations the minister
had nothing to say.
Neither the Italian nor British am
bassadors had received any official in
formation of the resignation.
Up to late hour tonight Mr.. Bow
en- had not been advised officially Of
President Castro's resignation. Mr..
Bowen said tonight that he saw no rea
son why the resignation should have
any effect on the present negotiations.
Office May Be Kept in Official Family.
Washington, March 22-The first
intimation received by Secretary Hay
of President Castro's resignation was
given him by the Associated Press
dispatch announcing the fact. He
would not discuss the matter, how
ever beyond saying that the news was
unexpected.
From an authoritative quarter, how
ever, it was learned that this move
on the part of President Castro has
long been contemplated. Representa-
tions were made to him several
months ago by the leaders of Vene-
zeula that his resignation would have
the effect of enabling the people of
that country to present 9 solid front
to the world in the matters in contro-
versy with the several powers. The
statement was made that the resigna-
tion is the result of a secret agreement
with the leaders referred to that Pres
ident Castro should temporarily re-
linquish his Office pending the ADJUST
ment of the matters which Minister
Bowen has in hand.
1t was intimated by the Associated
Press informant that while President
Castro nominally gives up his otfice,
it is the intention to keep 1T within
the official family by an agreement to
make Castro vice president so he
would succeed to the presidency. 1t
is the belief here, basei' on informa-
ton which has been up to now kept
inviolate, that the present plan is to
; allow President Castro to remain out
of office for a short time and then re
elect him at the next election.
Mr.. Pulido, the Venezuelan charge
, d'affaires, is absent from Washington
