Western Cities Lively.

The Eastern visitor finds the cities

est; and though the forces which have
combined in their making are some.

word of the West, may well be applied
to them-a sort of brisk activity,
youthfulness, ozone. They have the
rather unusual capacity of doing big
things and talking about them Justify

Doan's Kidney Pills cure all Kidney
Ills from common backache to danger

A. T. Ritenour. owner Of the wood
yard at 1875 East Cork street, Winches-
ter, Va, says: ever since had la
grippe l have been sufferer from
kidney troubles, which made them
selves apparent in racking pains
through the region of the kidneys
and across the small of my back. The
pains were always severe, and some
times SO sharp and biting that they
compelled me to take to my bed. The
kidney secretions furnished further
evidence of disorders. They were off
color, irregular, and painful of pas
sage. Added to this there was an an
noying weakness.
THE newspaper advertisements of
Doans Kidney Pills attracted my at
tention, and I procured a box of that
remedy at Franck Baker & Sons
drug store. The relief l experienced
was magical. The pills lifted me from
my bed of sickness, placed me on my
feet, and made me well man. I

CHAPTER v.-(Continued.)

CHAPTER (Continued.)
Something must have happened.
People are running. There is little
crowd round the bank, and police
man is pushing his way through.
What can it be? Sebastian joins the
crowd, and the people fall back and
make way. Mr.. Saville is magis-
trate, and every one stands aside to let
him pass.
In the bank itself a small, eager
crowd are peering over the counter at
strange scene within. The bank
manager is STOPPING over PROSTATE
figure-the body of the cashier, limp
and insensible
That there has been an outrage is
plain to the commonest understanding.
The floor is strewn with papers, and a
stool is overturned. There must have
been a desperate struggle before the
young man was overpowered. The
place is a regular wreck. At first the
general opinion is that the cashier is
dead-murdered, most probably. There
is heavy, faint odor of some drug.
Mr.. Kelly, the bank manager, lifts
an ashen face.
1T must have been very quickly
done! I had not left the bank ten
minutes! I was at my lunch, and
when 1 got back l found Grey like
thisw
HAS any one gone for a doctor?"
Mr.. Saville puts the question as he
stands looking down on the livid, in
sensible face of the bank clerk.
"Give him air; open his collar" he
says, and glances around on the scene
of confusion-the money lying on the
floor the books, the
Sebastian stoops suddenly and picks
up cheque off the floor George Bou-
we're is scrawled across the back of it.
Without word he. hands the cheque
to the bank manager, remarking:
"Mr. Bouvere may be able to throw
some light on this. I met him COM
ing out of the bank about quarter of
an hour ago. He can at least say if
everything was right then"
where is Mr.. Bouverie now?"
"Gone home, I fancy. He was wir-
ing off large sum of money at the
postoffice when met him."
Mr.. Kelly turns white as his eyes
meet those of Sebastian.
81 do not know if anything has been
TAKEN" he says very low, still chating
away at the limp hands of Mr.. Grey.
Then the doctor hurries in and makes
an examination.
"The man is not dead; he has been
chloroformed."
1nis is the verdict, and the news
goes out to the little knot of people
outside. Not only has the cashier been
chloroformed, but the bank has been
robbed. So far has been ascertained
by hastily examination.
1t is very clever robbery, evident
ly we'll planned and carried out sue
cessfully during the time the manager
was at his lunch. Nothing further
can be known till Mr.. Grey RECEIVERS
consciousness. The cashier, who is a
very uninteresting young man, be-
comes all at once an object of excite
ment and discussion, and through the
length and breadth of Portraven the
news goes like wildfire.

CHAPTER vi.

1T was very near thing indeed"
the doctor says, when at last he sue
ceeds in restoring Mr.. Grey. This
young man has weak heart, and very
little more would have finished him."
AS it is, the cashier lies limp and liv-
i'd from the effects of chloform, by
whom administered it were hard to
say.
Sebastian Saville watches eagerly,
hungrily, while Mr.. Grey's dazed SEN
ses come back, and he casts terrified
glances round.
There, now you are all right" says
the bank manager nervously and i'm
patiently.
He is anxious to find out if the
cashier can give any account of the as
sault upon him, any clue to the per-
petrator of the outrage.
A couple of policemen stand by. Mr..
Grey's eyes turn towards them almost
apprehensively.
He must have got a terrible shock
to be so unnerved and shaken.
"Now, Mr.. Grey, try and give us
some account of this mystery. You
must know something" Mr.. Saville
says. Every moments delay gives
the thief time to get off. It seems
from the hasty inspection made by Mr.
Kelly that over a hundred pounds have
been taken" 81.
The injured mans lips writhe. and q
damp sweat stands out on his fore
head; he lifts two shaking hands.

STREET CLEANING
President Reed, of the Council,
Discovers a New Method.
In Chicago the Streets Are Cleaned By
the Ladies, Free of Cost.

President Charles Reed, of the ooun-
Gil. returned this morning from Chi
cago. He says he learned something
while he was away that he was in to-
tai ignorance of before. This was how
to clean the streets without cost to the
city.
In Chicago, according to his state
ment, the streets are usually cleaned,
when cleaned at all, by the ladies. 1t
is this way.
When he reached the Windy City
he found heavy snow. The Their
mometer had been 16 below zero, but
there was quite moderation the day
he arrived and thaw came the fol.
lowing day.
1t was then that his eyes were open
ed. The snow was displaced by slush
mud and water. The ladies, kept il
for several days, ventured out and lit
orally swept the streets and sidewalk
clean with their, skirts. Colonel Reec
says he never saw such filthy streets
as Chicago has, and never saw them
so quickly cleaned when this thousands
of holiday shoppers had been out a
few hours. He says that the damage
to dresses from dragging in the mud
must have amounted to hundreds of
thousands of dollars but the street
cleaning did not cost Chicago q cent.

CUBAN RECIPROCITY
Bill Was Finally Passed Yester-
day Afternoon.
The Republican Measure Receives
Many Democratic Votes
in Senate.
WAS 81 TO IS.

Washington, Dec. l7--By the decis-
i've vote of 81 to is the senate yesser-
day afternoon passed the bill carrying
into effect the reciprocity treaty with
Cuba. The final vote came at the
close of the day, which was marked
by a debate which while at all times
was animated, was never acrimonious.
The principal speeches were made by
Mr.. Spooner for the bill and by MIR.
Bailey against it. Both senators were
subjected to frequent interruptions.
In his remarks Mr.. Bailey referred to
the recent agreement of the Democrat
10 caucus to stand solidly ON party
questions and warned the Republicans
that in the future they could not de-
pend on struggling Democratic votes
in support of Republican party meas
ures, regardless Of whether they were
or were not in accord with Democrat
ic doctrines.
The bill passed carries into execu-
tion the treaty between the United
States and Cuba, which was ratified
last March The treaty provides for a
reduction of 90 per cent from the
rates of duty under the Dingley law
on all Cuban articles imported into the
United States and a varying reduction
of 90 to 40 per cent from the estab'
lished Cuba duty on articles into Cuba
fr ON the United States.
Both Senators Black burn and Nc
Creary, of Kentucky, voted for the bill.
