Will Veto the Resolution.

Mayor Simpson has announced his
intention to veto the resolution recently
passed by the City Council appropriat-
inc 5000 to gravel a 80 feet roadway on
franklin street from Washington to
Alfred, a distance of two squares. The
resolution was introduced by Mr.. James
NcCuen in the Common Council and it
was referred to the committee on streets
who made a favorable report which was
adopted by both boards. The Mayor
saws he fails to see the utility Of spend
inc 5000 on the two squares until proper
sidewalks and cutters are constructed.
should the purposed expenditure be
made and at any future time more dur
able repairs be contemplated to the
squares il would be found that the 5000
had been virtually expended in useless
manner.

Narrow Escape.

TIE rough-rol-and-tumble manner IN
which the visitors to ST. Asaph enter
certain north bound electric trains III
the evening is often commented upon,
Some of this class of passengers don I
wait for the train to stop in their eager
ucss to board the cars, and narrow eS-
cane from a fatal accident yesterday
evening may throw damper upon the
unnecessary haste so often displayed
The train which left here at 1876 was
about to stop at St. Asaph and the crows
ON the platform made the usual pen
NELL rush and attempted to board the
cars before they came to stop, when d
man fell between the motor car ana tne
trailer. A friend was close enough 10
grasp him by the arm and hold MN
above the rails until the train stopped
The scene almost uunerved some peoPie
who expected to see the man run over
and killed.

Veteran Bernard Brady, Of lls north Payne

have had attacks Of dull disagreeable aching
across my loins and feeling Of listlessness
and uneasiness akin to nervousness which
prevented me from remaining long in one
position. When these attacks were at their
height at night was constantly twisting and
turning in bed and as a consequence | arose
in the morning utterly devoid Of energy. 1t
occurred to me after reading some statements
about Doan's Kidney Pills in my Alexandria
paper that they might help and | sent for

Very Remarkable Cure of Diarrhoea

"About six years ago for the first time
in my life had sudden and severe
attack of diarrhoea," says Mrs. Alice
Miller, of Morgan, Texas. 81 got
temporary relief, but it came back again
and again, and for six long years have
suffered more misery and agony than
can tell. 1t was worse than death. My
husband spent hundreds Of dollars for
physicians prescriptions and treatment
without avail. Finally we moved to
Bosque county, our present home, and
one day happened to see an advertise,
ment of Chamberlain Collie, Cholera and
Diarrhoea Remedy with testim 'nial OF
man who had been cured by it. The
case was so similar to my own that l
concluded to try the remedy. The
result was wonderful. l could hardly
realize that l was well again, or believe
| it could be so after having suffered so
fong, but that one bottle of medicine,
costing but few cents, cure me. For

ted, it was found that she was seriously,
if not fatally injured. The machinery
is operated by steam power when

four and half feet in diameter,
is near the rear windows. The DAVIS
girl opened one of the windows and was
walking away when the wind blew her
dress against the rapidly moving pulley
belt. In an instant she was picked Oh

pulley. She screamed and 80 or more
women employees in the place rushed
from the building. One of the employees
tainted before sine reached the door and
narrowly escaped being tramPled on by
the rest of the women. A man in the
bnilding ran to the basement and turned
off the power. The girl, it was said,
