DoAN's KIDNEY PILLS.
FAIR EXCHANGE.
A New Back for an Old one-How 1t Is
Done in San Francisco.

The back aches at times with duh.
indescribable feeling, making Won
weary and restless; piercing pains shoot
across the region of the kidneys. and
again the loins are so lame to stoOp is
agony No use to rub or apply a plaster
to the back in this condition. You can
not reach the cause. Exchange the bad
back for new and strong one-follow
the example Of this San Francisco citi-
zen:
John P. Bryson, cook. of 537A Natoma
street, says: I had pain in the kidneys
for eight months before 1 used DOan's
Kidney Pills. Sometimes it was worse
than others and sometimes of longer du-
ration, but as the area affected was right
, across the small of the back, over the
kidneys, j knew those organs were the
cause of the entire trouble. A short time
after l used DOan's Kidney Pills the ach-
ing disappeared. and what to me is OF
considerable more Importance is this
fact: have had complete immunity
from pain during the last six months"

Trains fire Delayed
on I'LL Lines BY
Storm.

The storm while in its fury during
the early morning hours wrought havoc
along the various lines of railroads
throughout the State and for a num-
Der OF hours there was almost an alb
solute cessation of operations. To make
the predicament of the transportation
companies more aggravating, their tele-
graph lines were blown down and the
only means of getting information as
to the exact amount of damage and
providing necessary means for repair
ing the injuries sustained was de-
stroyed.
For several hours during the morn
ing the Southern Pacific Company's
only telegraphic communication was
between its uptown offices and those
at Third and Townsend streets and the
Oakland mole. The local officials of
the Santa Fe Company were meanwhile
experiencing similar obstacles. Final
ly, in the afternoon, after much hard
work on the part of repairers the COM
panies began TO get reports that
promptly suggested to them that it
Will be several days before the operat-
/ ing systems will be again in proper
order
From every quarter came news of
washouts, landslides and caves that de-
layed trains leaving and due in this
city. It was reported by Chief Clerk
Montgomery of Manager Aglers offices
that while the Southern Pacific Com
pany had much to contend with in the
way of storm accidents, none of them
were of a very serious nature and
would be repaired as fast as they could
! be reported and men sent TO the scene.
All trains were late, but the company
was endeavoring to move them as fast
as possible.
Even the companys service between
this city and Oakland and Alameda
was badly demoralized and could only
be operated irregularly until late in the
afternoon. At o'clock in the morn
! ing ii was found that it would be i'm
| possible to run trains over the Ala
| media line owing to the fact that a
temporary building had blown down
and obstructed the roadway. Through
traffic over this line from San Jose
and Santa Cruz was finally effected by
way of Alameda Point.
On the California Northwestern Rail-
way system landslides were reported
along every branch of the road and
these, with the rising waters, delayed
traffic The train from Santa Rosa, due
at Tiburon at 8:45, did not reach the
| latter point until 1:45, and then
the belated passengers suffered
further delay owing to the
fire aboard the steamer Dona-
hue. which necessitated her putting
back. A report was issued from the
companys office last evening, however,
that the blockades had been raised and
that the entire road would be in good
shape for business this morning.
Landslides were also numerous along
the North Shore road, but they were
trivial in character and the majority
Of the company's trains ran on pretty
good time. The roughness Of the bay
however, prompted the company to tie
up its boats during the early part OF
the day, which was regarded by many
as a wise move.

Storm Waters Riot and Cause Con-
siderable Losses to ShOpkeepers.


siderable Losses to Shopkeepers.
BERKELEY, March 1O.-Overbur-
dened cutters, flooded cellars. uprooted
trees and delayed travel IN all direc-
tiOns marked the effects OF the storm
in Berkeley. Travel was Inconvenience
on both the ferry and street car lines.
Key Route passengers suffered the
greatest inconvenience, as there were
no trains for four hours this morning.
This delay was caused by the filling OF
the subway at Emeryville and the over
flowing of the tracks between Lorin
and San Pablo stations. The 7:4O
o'clock train from San Francisco was
stalled at the tunnel and did not arrive
at Berkeley station until four hours
later, traffic having been entirely sus-
pended. All this time the pumps were
sucking the water out of the subway
as fast as steam could make them, and
a gang of men were doing their best to
drain the tracks of the foot of water
that covered them.

along the line next season ;and If. the
corn was shucked. shelled and sacked
it would find a ready market in com
petition with western corn. which is
used so extensively in Louisiana.
The railway people have expressed
willingness to to make one rate to
cover the movement of corn to and

that a mill will be erected to take

An interview was had with one of
the officials of the Franklin q Able

of freight and passenger traffic being
handled by them; and we were
pleased to learn that nearly all of the
merchants along the line were routing
their shipments from New Orleans,
Franklin and New Iberia over the
Franklin K Abbeville railway direct
" to their stores. Cross ties are be-

in the rear of Murphy station. Corn
is being moved from points along the

is daily improving. 1t
is only question of time when the
Salt Water Lumber Company will be
operating their Saw Mill plant and
town lots will be sold and houses
built at Patoutville for the labor
which will be required to operate
this large plant. Stock is being sub

tend to build up hourishing town

land around Patoutville, Lewisville,

divided into 10 and 90 acre lots and
sold to Western Farmers. The Frank

will agree to sell at reasonable fig

An Arkansas paper tells story of
n man who was caught out in the
woods during storm. He didn't
want to get wet and the only dry
place he could find was hollow log
into which he managed to crawl.
The rain lasted couple Of hours, when
the fellow decided that he had better
be going home. He tried to extricate
himself from the log, but the soft
wood had swollen and he couldn't
bulge peg. There alone in the
desolate woods, many miles from the
nearest habitation, the poor man lay
for hours thinking of all the mean
things he had ever done, when all
at once it suddenly dawned upon him
that he had read his county paper
three years witout paying for 1t and
then refused to take it out of the post
office. II made him feel so mean that
he crawled out of the log through q
knot hole.

of country in Southwest Louisiana.
From the Cypremort branch june
unbroken stretch of cultivated land.
| Cane and corn are the princi-
pal crops; but quite an acreage of cot
ton and rice is grown, I'm fact. the
land here is capable of growing any
crop suitable to the climate; unlike
Western Louisiana where rice is the
farmers main crop. The numerous
large drainage canals to the gulf have
been the means of making it possible
to place in n high state of cultivation
oil of the land in this rich section.
The weather conditions for the past
tive years have been against agricul-
tural success. The crops have suffered
during this time, from excessive rain
and prolonged drought and still farm
ers have managed to make a living.
The drainage canals will take care of
an undue rainfall in the future. aud
great success il is hoped for now by
the farmers.
