Walter Jennings is in Los Angeles
on a short visit, and may secure the
services of big Bill" Knapp for his
stable.

to the stable of c. c. McCafferty by a
ruling of the stewards.
Claude was jumped on during some
stage of the race in which he was re-
turned winner, and one leg was con-

Queer Place for a Magazine.

An American traveller who explored
the northern part of Siberia states that
he found in the hut Of a KOrak peas
ant picture of Mayor Dix cut out of
a copy of Harper's Magazine. The
Mayors picture was enthroned on q
wooden shrine, and adored by the
Korak and his family as their house
hold deity.
This is probably the most extreme
case on record Of veneration for mag
azine page. But fifty years ago in this
country it was not uncommon to find
a single copy of magazine being read
by fifteen or twenty families every
month, and regarded by all as an in
fallible authority.
1t is said that when the Shah Of
Persia visited England several years
ago it was one Of bis chief delights to
buy a dozen magazines and ''read the
pictures" AS there are only about
5000 people in Persia who can read
and write, his amazement at the num-
Der of magazines is not surprising

Cure to STAY Cured.

Wapello, Iowa, Oct 1O-(Speciale
One of the most remarkable cures ever
recorded in Louisa County is that Of
Mrs. Minnie Hart of this place. Mrs.
Hart was in bed for eight months and
when she was able to sit up she was
all drawn up on one side and could
not walk across the room. DOdds
Kidney Pills cured her. Speaking Of

Yes, Dodd's Kidney Pills cured me
after l was in bed for eight months
and l know the cure was complete for
that was three years ago and l have
not been down since. In four weeks
from the time l started taking them L
was able to make my garden. Nobody
can know how thankful 1 am to be
cured or how much 1 feel L owe to
Dodd's Kidney Pills"
This case again points out how
much the general health depends on
the Kidneys. Cure the Kidneys with

SAYS GIRL KILLED HERSELF.
Brother Declares Minnie Har,nenina
Committed Suicide by HANGING,

Brother Declares Minnie Harmenine
Committed Suicide by Hanging.
From the confession of John Harmon
ing, brother Of Minnie Harmening. a
11-year-old girl, who was believed to
have been murdered in the barn at her
fathers farm near Palatine, ILL.,, it
would seem that the girl had ended her
own life by hanging from beam in the
barn.
The boy, who is 20 years old, told his
father that when he and the two younger
children returned to the barn from the
field they found the girl hanging from a
beam by rope, dead. Fearing the
father would feel bad'' if he knew his
daughter had committed suicide, they
took the body down, he said, hid the rope
and told the story which led to the the
DRY that she had been murdered. To
substantiate the story the boy went to
the loft of the barn and produced the
rope with which he asserted his sister
killed herself.
The story of the boy surprised the
villagers and neighboring farmers. The
father would not believe that the girl
had hanged herself. Several did not
hesitate to say they believed the girl was
murdered and then hanged to the rafter
in the position in which her brother said
he found her.
On Thursday the coroner's jury rem
dered a verdict to the effect that the
girl had committed suicide. The father,
however, persists in his belief that she
was murdered.

Of earthworks their advance was COM

fanatical bravery" the correspondent
adds, "leaping over the bodies of their

boldened by their success, made sortie.
The japanese replied with machine guns.
1t was the first time the japanese had
been able to entice the Russians from
their shelters, and they worked terrible
havoc among them.
The scene the next morning was ap-
Railing. The hillside was strewn with

herself suddenly attacked by rheuma-

the doctor chance to help her, which
he failed to improve, and then she did
some thinking and experimenting of her
own. She was so successful that she
deems it her duty to tell the story Of her

reason to use them for myself, but I
have recommended them to others as an

DR.. Williams Pink Pills furnish the
blood with all the elements that are
needed to build up healthy tissue, strong
muscles and nerves, capable of bearing
the strain that nature puts upon them.
They really make new blood and cure
all diseases arising from disorders of the
