stock as much as possible. With this
in view, j. B. Thomas, Jr., left for
England, Germany and Russia.
In the first two named countries
he failed to find dog that came up
to the requirements. Neither did he
in the imperial kennels. Finally, after
"a hours in a railway coach, followed
by 60 mile ride over the worst roads
imaginable, Thomas reached Perchina,
where the hunting lodge of the grand
duke is located. Here is the finest
Borzoi kennel in the world. and from
among the 100 hounds Thomas secured
"Bistri,' by champion "Almas," the lat
ter winner of the medal this year and
considered the finest specimen living.
"Bistri" is a royal looking animal,
standing SO inches, covered with great
coat of pure white, wonderful head,
fine legs and general conformation,
coming up to the high standard set by
the Russians for their champions.
M. Boldereff, considered the most
expert judge of Borzois in the world
pronounced "Bistri" the eighth best
in the world, and as the other seven
can not be had for love or money,
it is evident that the Russian wolf
hounds of this country have had added
to their family wonderful animal.
In addition to "Bistri," Thomas pur-
chased "Atomka' and "Sorba," the lat
ter winner of the silver medal at Mos,
COW this year for females. Both are
much larger than the Borzois now in
this country and their importation will
have great influence on the breed.
Since the introduction of the Russian
hound in the west he has become pop
+ ular with ranchmen and sheepmen, es
pecially in New Mexico, which was
overrun with wolves and coyotes. His
antipathy for these animals is heredi
tary and they are becoming scarce
wherever a Borzoi is making his head
quarters.

outside of Russia by travellers stories
of the animals wonderful size,

IF the reader took the time and trouble to
ask his fellow resident of Alexandria the SIM
ple question given below, he would obtain The
one answer. If he would read the statements
now being published in Alexandria which re-
fer to this answer, it would surprise him TO
note that they number so many. AS many
more could be, and may be, published, but IN
the meantime ask the first person you meet
what cures backache? The answer will be
Doan's Kidney Pills. Here is a citizen who
endorses our claim:
Fred Il. Jackson, baker, of 1888 north Pat
rick street, says when a man is subject 10
dull pains in the small Of his back which is
always intensified by an exerton, it does not
require the improper action of the secretions
| from-the kidneys to tell him that in some
way those organs need attention With the
passing of time other complications become
apparent and distress in my stomach after
eating was q common occurrence. The treat
ment of leading physicians, even that given
by well-known hospital and the use Of medi-
cine unstntingly guaranteed TO cure kidney
complaint, failed to even bring relief, or
never would have gone to Z. 5. Leadbeater Il
Sons drugstore for Doan's Kidney Pills. This
remedy acts differently from anything else
ever tried The pain and inflammation in the
bladder gradually lessened and as the organs
improved indirectly my trouble was benefit
ted. From the results | received from the
use of Doan's Kidney Pills, | have not the
slightest hesitation in very emphatically en-
dorsing them"

Of DR.. Drake, acting secretary Of the State

poisoning of eleven patients on Wednesday,

neither an accident nor negligence on
the part of either the pharmacist or the night

bic. and that is that wholesale attempt at
murder was made by sane person with a
grievance, or one insane. A committee OF

committee to investigate. An important
theory advanced is that belladonna was placed
in pitcher of water which was in the ward
and from which the patients drank after their
medicines. DIR. Irish, of the hospital, ex-
presses the belief that it was other than an
insane, or, at least, person known TO be in
sane. who committed the rash act.
