Ottawa, Kan, Oct. 21.-When Ranch
man James E. Slower of this county
learns that Secretary Norling of lodge
No. 1890, Modern Woodmen, has re-
ceived a remittance Of So from John
Lane, there will be joy unconhned on
the ranch. Three dollars is nothing at
all to Slower ordinarily, but he will
think the world of this particular So.
Slower married a woman who admitted
she had been the wife of Lane, but
claimed to be his widow, and who, after
living on the ranch a month, left it and
not only sued for divorce, but asked
for one-half of the s60, 900 estate. Slower
had married the woman through the
agency of the want adj column, and
while he admitted she was about the
best looking woman he had ever seen,
he also did not deny she was a ter
Tor. He said so repeatedly to his law
yers.
The suit for divorce worried him not
q little and the auxiliary attempt to
get $22,50o OF his estate made it next to
impossible for him to sleep. Slower
was loath to believe that he had been
done by the woman, but, rather than
submit to a surrender he employed law
yers to defend him and asked them
about a compromise.

From 1880 to 1898 freight traffic gained %
per cent. In 1894, the second year in the
last big financial panic, there was a de-
crease of Il per cent, and from the effects
of this panic the roads did not fully re-
cover until 1897. From that time on there
has been year by. year continuous in
crease In 1898 there was a big booEns
when the volume of traffic increased 20
per cent. This gain broke all previous
records. and it has not been repeated
since. From that time until the present
the increase has ranged from AS per cent
down to 0.6 per cent.
Passenger traffic felt the effects of the
1898 panic to about the same extent as did
freight, declining IA per cent. and it felt
the depression longer. It was not until
1899 that the traffic of 1893 was equaled.
Since 1899, however. the gain in passenger
traffic has been phenomenal From 1888 to
1904 the volume of passenger mileage in
creased 30 per cent or at the rate of per

To give positive home testimony in

proof of merit; but when we add to this
the continued endorsement from people
who testified years ago, no evidence can
be stronger. An Ellsworth citizen CRATE
fully acknowledges the good received
from Doan's Kidney Pills, and when time
has tested the cure we find the same
hearty endorsement, with added enthusi-
asm and continued praise. Cases of this
kind are plentiful in the work of Doan's
Kidney Pills, and such record is unique
in the annals of medicine.
