Como to Hundreds of AIaskn PsOpl',

There are days of dizziness;
 Spells of headache, sideache, back ache;
 Sometimes rheumatic pairs;
 Often urinary disorders,
 All tell you plainly the kidneys are sick.
 Doan's Kidney Pills cure all kidney ills.
 Here is Proof:
 Mrs. E. Letnback, Widow, of 3o4 Jefferson street, Olympia, WasH. Q, says: Last summer, headaches, dizzy spells, .backache and too frequent action of the kidneys together with a general run down feeling made me aware that my kidneys were not properly performing their functions. When I called several months ago for Doan's Kidney Pills l was suffering the greatest misery and could scarcely get about the house. This one box gave me so much relief that followed It up with a second and l am happy to say that the Pills effected a complete cure, or at least, up to the present time I have felt no symptoms of a recurrence, and have no reason to fear that there will be any.

KICKED BY A HORSE.
Frank johnson Of Winthrop Har-
Dor Has Skull Fractured in
an Unique Accident.
HORSE RESENTS UNKINDNESS

Frank Johnson a farm hand, 27
years of age, employed on the Bruce
farm, near the village of Winthrop
Harbor, was seriously if not fatally
injured this morning by being kicked
by horse. Later in the morning he
was taken to the A1exian Brothers
hospital in Chicago and it was discov-
cred that his shoulder had been brok-
en- and his skull fractured.
The accident was one of the most
unusual ones ever occurring in this
part of the country and the injury
was due solely to the action of a
dumb brute in demonstrating against
harsh treatment. It is alleged that
Johnson had been drinking during
the night and this morning he went
to the barn and brought out the horse
and started to hitch him up to road
cart. The horse was slow to move
about in a binding rain that was
falling, and it is stated that Johnson
turned and began to beat the horse
with club. When he started beat
ing the horse Johnson was in range
of the horses hoofs and the animal
took advantage of this fact and began
kicking. The first blow fe11ed John
son to the earth and the second is
supposed to have fractured the skull.
Men rushed to the scene of the acct
dent and Johnson was found to be I'M
conscious. He was removed to the
barn and as soon as possible doctor
was summoned from Waukegan.
Later on the man was taken to the
hospital.
Johnson had been working at the
farm for more than year and is we'll
known to the people in the neighbor-
hood Of Winthrop Harbor. He has a
wife and four children residing in
Chicago, but Johnson has not been at
his home for many months. The wife
was notified of the accident.

MILWAUKEE is suffering from an
epidemic of typhoid fever, caused, it
is said, by the impure drinking water.
AS Milwaukee gets it's water from the
lake, just as this city does, the local
health officers should have the water
in the Kenosha mains analysed at
once just to be on the safe side. Ever
since the municipal water works were
built the city has been remarkably
free from all diseases caused by i'm
pure water, and it is hardly possible
that the contamination, which is
working such harm in Milwaukee,
could affect the water supply Of Keno
sha. There are no indications ia the
health report of the city that the wa
ter is not perfectly pure, but the
analysis should be made simply as a
precautionary measure.

SENTIMENT in favor of new street
railway in Kenosha is increasing
daily, and if the Park City Railway
company comes forward with any sort
of a reasonable proposition it stands
very fair chance to get franchise.
This does not mean that the people in
their disgust at the unfair attitude
assumed by the Kenosha Street Rail-
way company on the transfer ques-
ion, are ready to hand over to the
Park City company or any other COM
pany any kind Of franchise it wants.
That would be going from bad to
worse. 1t simply means that the peo-
pie of Kenosha do not consider them
selves so helpless IN this matter as
the railway company seems to think
they are, and that if they can't get
justice from the present company,
they are going to get it from some
other company.

kenosha Manufacturers Tell of
Freight Rates Before National
Committee at Washington.
LET WELL ENOUGH ALONE.
z. G. Simmons Jr. Says That Governor
LaFollette and E. p. Bacon are 81
the Only Pronounced Support E
ers of Commission.

Kenosha had an inning before the
Interstate Commerce Rate commits
sion on Monday afternoon, and z. G..
Simmons, Jr., and Frank Slosson.
representatives Of large Kenosha in
dustrial plants, appeared before the
commissioners and protested against
any government meddling with. es-
tablished rates. The Kenosha men
stated, in their testimony before the
commission, that they represented the
sentiment of Kenosha manufacturers,
and that this sentiment was decidedly
opposed to placing the rate making
power in the hands of few men.
They represented the conditions in
their section of the state, and insisted
that the Kenosha shippers were sat
isfed with the present rates. Mr..
Simmons insisted that the only pro-
nounced advocates of giving the
commission power to fix rates were
Governor LaFol1ette and E. P. Bacon
Of Milwaukee. Both of the Kenosha
representative showed that to grant
0hy NOAAAAASSAOA q POWNA w LA rates
would seriously affect present condi-
tons, affecting not only the railways,
but commercial business generally.
The two Kenosha men were only
small fraction of the large number of
manufacturers from the Northwest
who appeared and protested against
giving this power of rate making into
the hands of few men.
E. P. Bacon, of Milwaukee, who
has been one of the strongest advo-
Gates of the freight rate commission,
appeared Monday and admitted that
the rate commission must have it's
1imita tons. He admitted that tariffs
could not be made uniform through
out the United States. 46
It now looks as if the manufacturers
have won their fight, and dispatches
from Washington state that it is not
probable that the Senate committee
will recommend the passage of any
bill for the appointment of a commits
sion to fix rates, and Notwithstanding
the attitude Of the president in favor
of such commission, it is probable
that the whole matter will be left
over to the next session of Congress.
Members returning to Washingtonin-
sist that their constituents are not in
favor of the passage of such meas
ure at this time. nc

The competition of the interurban
electric lines has everywhere had the
effect of greatly reducing fares on
most of the steam roads and there is
said to be combination forming
among the great steam railway lines,to
fight the tro1leys by still further re-
ducing the rates and running special
trains which will stop anywhere on
signal just as the electric cars do.
Kenosha can not hope to profit much
from this fight for business between
the rival roads until the line to the
south is built, but after the gap be-
tween this city and Waukegan is
closed, Kenosha will get the benefits
of the reduced rates forced by compe-
ton.

THE city permitted the street rail
way to begin the operation of its road
with second hand cars without max
ing any protest and it is too late to
kick on that point now. A good many
people think that all this trouble over
transfers was made possible because
the railway was not brought up with
round turn in the beginning and
made to live up to its franchise from
the first and they may be right, but
it is useless to refer to what might
have BEEN" now. The railroad was
given an inch and it took an ell, as
the saying is, but what we want to do
now is to stop it from taking any
more liberties with its franchise,

In 1547 In Alcala de Henares, about
twenty miles from Madrid, Of poor but
noble parents, and educated at Sala-

escaping these punishments by flight.
At any rate, he left Madrid In 1870 in
the train Of the papal nuncio and spent
that year In Rome. enjoying the most
cultivated society In the world The
Turks were then storming Cyprus and
threatening Vienna. The cry for cru
SADIE against the infidel was loud. and
Cervantes was Of those who gave It
willing ear. For five. years the young
Spaniard served the cross against the
crescent, at Navarino, Corfu, Tunis, In
Sardinia, Sicily and Italy. Don Juan
de Austria himself bore testimony to
his good conduct. Sailing for home,
Don Miguel was captured by Algerian
pirates and for five years more was
Christian slave. He returned to Spain
a crippled soldier and a ransomed
serf. He became kings officer and
married one Donna Catalina, woman
as poor as himself. Trouble pursued
him in his native soil, and he was more
than once in prison. It is said that he

enemies and left him in the slough Of
poverty. Cervantes himself did not
perceive the Importance Of his chef

broken out of the beaten path, he re-
turned to his old ways, seeking again

Health and Beauty.

At recent gathering Of health pro-
moters in Chicago some of the speak
ers rehearsed and emphasized the very
old rules Of simplicity and activity for
the acquisition and preservation OF
beauty. One doctor declared, 'sYour sys-
tenn needs much water, and you should
drink proper quantity every day."
Water, he added, rounds out the form
and adds flesh. Other speakers dwelt
upon clothing and exercise, and the
arguments may be summed up in the
few simple rules: Drink water freely,
wear less clothing, do more washing,
operate carpet sweeper, go outdoors
more, wear shorter skirts and, in gen
eral, get back to the simple life.
The women of Chicago as well as
other great cities doubtless are In need
Of these instructions, but there are tens
Of thousands Of Venuses In form and
feature throughout the country who
have come up just In that way without
giving the matter thought, and there
are other thousands who have lived up
to these rules and yet are not Venuses
and do not worry over that either.
They are healthy and happy, and what
more is worth striving for7 Trying to
be beautiful by hook and crook is Of
ten the surest way to defeat the pur-
pose.
