fed to their wonderful value after
they cured me of kidney complaint
and backache. My back ached per
sistently day and night and when I
took cold it aggravated the trouble
with my kidneys. Doan's Kidney
Pills entirely removed the kidney
complaint and there has been no re-
turn of it. Some two or three years
later I felt a slight return of back
ache. 1t required only a few doses of
Doan's Kidney Pills to relieve me, and
I have not known what it is to have

this remedy has also been proven by
results obtained from it by others in

issue he proceeded to give the Wood

Reid started out on Saturday by de-
voting three columns to the Wood
peckers, including a caricature on

head adorns the page. Following
good, sane write-up of the seasons
work, the following deserved remarks
all recognize as about as good base
ball general as there is in the circuit
today:

pie immensely to know that he will

going to let him vacate it very soon:
Besides being a perfect handler of
PLAYERS and the best catcher in the
Western association, he is a gentleman
to the core and nothing has more to
do with a baseball players success"
Among the notes a few comments
follow on the Topeka team:

always did have the habit OF letting

PLANNING IN ADVANCE.

come Pointers For Towns That Are
Growing Rapidly. &
The advantage Of laying out the
street plan in advance of population
may be illustrated by reference to
Brussels suburb, says Municipal Jour-
nal and Engineer. The city officials,
noting the steady growth Of the town,
perceived that in few years houses
would be springing up in this new To-
cality. Recalling the bad effects Of
haphazard expansion and the great ex-
pense Of rearranging streets after a
district is built up, they attacked the
problem in advance, with most excel
lent results. A beautiful park was
laid out with trees, fountains, statuary
and floral displays Diagonal streets
with pleasing vistas were provided.
Streets of generous width and well
adapted to rapid transportation follow
ed. Focal points were emphasized by
grass plots, with sites for monuments
or statues. Trees were planted along
many of the less important streets as
we'll as the boulevards. A new suburb
was Illus pldullcu AAOM AlS lACcptIOu
with comparatively little expense and
no inconvenience to the public.
The wisdom Of adopting general
scheme which may be modified in de-
tail, as occasion requires. but which
will be planned in it's general features
in advance of urban growth, executed
as rapidly as possible and in harmony
with which parks will be constructed.
monuments erected, public buildings
located and other structures provided,
is evidenced by foreign experience.
There are continuity and harmony in the
various improvements, and the work
accomplished by each generation does
not need to be undone by ! succeeding
generation. Instead of conflict each ad-
ditional improvement adds far more
than indicated by it's COST and the i'm
provements already carried out give
| tone and character to the new work,
which would be lacking if there were
no interdependence and If they had
| been carried out in a haphazard way.
| Few European cities were so fortu-
nate in their early history as to have
well thought out plan, and whatever
OF systematic arrangement has been
since introduced is of recent date.

Valuable Territory 1T Brought to tn e

The upper portion Of the Louisiana
purchase was known as the territory Of
Louisiana. 1t comprised all that terri
latitude, eastward to the Mississippi
and westward and northward as far as
the undetermined boundaries of the
newly acquired possessions might ex-
tend. South of this was the district of
Orleans, with it's seat of government
fixed at New Orleans The cession Of
the upper part of the purchase did not
take place until March 10. 1904. when.
having received the cession from the
Spanish, the French representative
handed it over to the agent of the Unit.
ed States with very brief and simple
ceremony.
BY these unimpressive proceedings
the government of the United States
was put in possession of territory with
in whose boundaries now flourish the
states of Louisiana, Arkansas, MissOu-
