Another interesting witness was
James NJ. Strong. who testified that he

the fire started he left the balcony
followed by his wife and mother, and
went TO door which proved to bc an

some Paw Paw People Have Learned How
to Get Rid of Both.

To Get Kid of Both.
Backache and kidney ache are
twin brothers. You can't separate
them. And you can't get rid of
the backache until you cure the
kidney ache.
If the kidneys are we'll and
strong, the rest of the system is
pretty sure to be in vigorous
health.
Doan's Kidney Pills make
strong, healthy kidneys.
Mr.. William Kirkwood, wagon
maker, says: After reading
about the merits of Doan's Kid
ney Pills in the papers, decided
to try them and | procured them
at +. b. Longwell's drug store.
They soon proved that all that had
been said about them was abso-
lutely true. When | commenced
using them | had a dull aching
pain III the small OF my back and
it had annoyed me for some
time. The treatment gave me
almost immediate relief. When
| completed it the pain and mis-
cradle feeling passed away.

cago & Rock Island Co. will, dur
ing the present year, build an eX.
tension from Mangum, in South
western Oklahoma, to Tularosa,
N. M. The line will penetrate
fourteen Texas counties. Mangum
is the southwestern terminus of
the Rock Island in Oklahoma; it
has been completed about two
years and has made very paying
Investment, striking, as it does,
rich cotton area as we'll as the UNI

as chartered, is to run Southwest
from Mangum, and the route Sc
lected takes it through the great
Texas cattle belt as well as the
richest coal field in the Mescalero
Indian reservation in New Mexico.
Such an extension would prove in
valuable to the Rock Island, and
would also bring the country thru
which the road would be construct
ed many miles nearer the St. Louis
and other Eastern markets, and in
tact, gives to some of the sections
something they have never yet
poSSessed---a railroad. In Texas
the new extension will pass thru
