A Physicians Advice.

Yorktown, Ark, March 7th.-Dodd's
Kidney Pills must not be confounded with
the ordinary patent medicine. They are a
new discovery, u specific for all diseases
OF the Kidneys and have been accepted by
physicians only after careful tests in ex-
treme cases. DR.. Leland williamson, Of
tins place, heartily endorses DOdd's Kid
ney Pills "as a remedy for the various
forms of the diseases of the Kidneys, pains
IN the back, soreness IN the region of the
Kidneys, foul-smellng urine and cloudy or
thckened condition of the urine dis
charges Of pus or corruption, Gout, Rheu-
matlsm, Inflammation and Congestion of
the Kidneys and all kindred complaints"
Continuing, he says:
Il could mention many cases in which
! have prescribed Dodds Kidney Pills
with success. For instance. Mr. Robert
Weeks, farmer. malaria haematuria or
swamp fever three times, kidneys weak
ened, continual pam and soreness in back
which made him very nervous had little
fever and sometimes chilly. Urine change
able, but generally very high-colored. an
old chronic case who had taken much
medicine with little effect. After taking
Dodd' Kidney Pills about SIX weeks. he
was entirely cured and had gained fifteen
pounds IN weight. The last time | saw
him, he was the picture Of perfect man
hood"

That mans hair sometimes turns
gray very suddenly is fact well known
10 psychologists. Statistics. however,
on this subject are very rare. and for
this reason Prof. Nirchow, the famous
German scientist, recently requested a
number Of physicians 10 send him full
details OF all such cases as might come
under their observation. As a result
Dr. Moritz, the well-known authority
on diseases Of the throat, has just pub
iished In the Archivc fun account Of
such case. The subject, or victim. is
a day laborer about 80 years OF age
Some time ago he was very nearly run
over 10y railroad train, and naturally
he received a severe shock. On the fol-
lowing morning n friend asked him
what he had done 10 his hair, and. look
ing in the glass, he saw that there were
two distinct patches Of white on his
head. one exactly in the middle and the
other just above his right ear Each
patch Of white hair covers a space Of
from three 10 four square inches. The
evident conclusion is that this sudden
change of color was caused solely by
the fright which the man experienced
when the train flashed by him within d
few inches Of his body.-N. V Herald.

1t is undoubtedly correct to say that
the bill which was finally recommend
&c for passage by the committee, re-
quiring railroads to give return passes
to stock shippers was understood by
everyone to depend for its enforce
ment upon the consent of the railroads,
for the reason that shipment of
stock to Chicago from any point in
Iowa is an interstate shipment, and
the courts have decided that any part
of such shipment comes under the reg
ulations of interstate commerce, and
the state cannot even pass laws to
govern such shipments within its own
confines. 1t is known that this condi-
ton was considered by many of the
members before the bill was passed
upon, but prior to the vote upon the
measure it was generally understood
that the railroad companies had
agreed to it, and for this reason
nothing was said about its legality
and both houses adopted it. Now il
appears that this relief is to be taken
from the shippers if the story is true
that the roads will not obey the law.
However, the Iowa railroad commits

Base Ball on Memorial Day.
Atlanta Journal.

We all know what Memorial day
stands for in the southern states. 1t
means day of remembrance and
grave decoration for those who gave
their lives in forlorn struggle in the
sixties. 1t should be celebrated as
the Hewbrews celebrate the passover
with sacred, solemn rites~-befitting
and in harmony with the grief of those
who mourn the loved and lost.
Otherwise it is not celebrated in the
proper spirit of devotion and respect.
1t is noticed that an appeal is being
made to Chancellor Hill and the rul-
ing authorities of the university to
suspend baseball operations on Me-
mortal day, so far as the students are
concerned. 1t is plea that should be
listened to because the youth OF the
country are expected to continue these
memorial exercises when the burdens
of life fall unfinished from older but
lifeless hands. If the day is used for
base ball exercises and hilarity reigns
then it is evident that these college
boys will be intent on something en-
tirely at varience with the spirit and
sentiment of the occasion. The holi-
day will then be prevented from its
avowed purpose of doing honor to the
dead. Better engage quietly in the
study of books.
1t is understood that base ball is Il
cherished game with southern boys
1t is so strongly imbedded in college
life at present that it generally over
awes the ruling authorities, but i
base ball must prevail take some Other
day rather than Memorial day for Il
grand roundup and hilarious demon
stration-of rude play.
1t is Il mockery of grief to attempt
memorial exercises in one portion Of
a town or city while the youth OF the
land are yelling, tussling and sweat
ing in mirthful sport in another part
If the other people appreciate the eX
