Six Doctors Failed.

South Bend. Id, Sept. 25th Especially
After suffering from Kidney Disease for
three years; after taking treatment from
six different doctors without getting
relief, Mr.. j. o. Laudeman,. of this place.
found not only relief. but speedy and
complete cure in Dodd's Kidney Pills.
Speaking of his cure. Mr.. Laudeman says:
Eyes, / suffered from Kidney Trouble
for three years, and tried six doctors to no
good. Then I took just two boxes of
Dodd's Kidney Pills. and they not only
cured my kidneys, but gave me better
health in general: Of course recon-
mel na,o nrn%er s o TO
them with good results"
Mr. Laudeman's case is not an excep-
ton. Thousands give similar experi-
cnces. For there never yet was case
of Kidney Trouble from Backache to
Bright's disease that Dodd's Kidney Pills
could not cure. They are the only rem
edy that ever cured Bright's Disease.

The Erie Railroad has arranged for the
immediate expenditure of $225, 1000 for the
installation Of the most modern and ct-
ticient railway signal that has yet been
put on the market. 1t is known as the
Hall Electric Semaphore Normal Clear
System, and is operated by stationary stor-
age batteries. The line between Bergen,
n. D., and Middletown, distance OF IS
miles, is to be equipped at once. For
the first 81 miles, the signals will be put
two-thirds of mile apart; for the rest
of the distance, about one and one-third
miles apart. 1t will require five power
plants for charging the batteries, which
will be located at Rutherford Junction,
Ridgewood junction, Suffern, Oxford and
Middletown. The line to be protected has
two and four tracks at different places,
and is the most congested part of the Erie
System. Hitherto manual block. which
is a tower with signals operated by
toweTman, has been used as block pro-
lection, but it has been deemed hest to
install! an automatic system for further
protection, and to accelerate the move
ment of trains. The new system will be
extended over the entire line in the future.

20 drop the matter until such time as

pany win again apply for a permit to
make some change. when the entire

speaking had no franchise but con-
tended that by reason of the recogni-
ton il has received at the hands OF the
Street and Sewer Commission by way
Of entering in 20 a contract with that
body to light the city with electricity
it could stand on that point alone and
be sound. He said the predecessors of
the present company had first used the

obtained permission to erect additional
poles. He understood that the permits
were in most part granted verbtly.

When the case of Clara Lewis, colored,
a character well-known to the police
charged with obtaining money under

today it was expected that one Of the
most important cases in the docket would
be heard. It developed, however, before
the hearing proceeded far that the
amount of money involved In the case
was but hve cents.
The facts Of the case are these: The
wife Of Benjamin Fischer Of Second and
shipley streets had a washing to be done
yesterday and her washerwoman failingto
put in her appearance, she went in search
of a Substitute.
Unfortunately she met the Lewis wo-
man and engaged her to do the wash

Clara rolled up her sleeves and gave
promise of doing wonderful things with
that washing. Her face took on a serious
look and the tubs and other parapher-

out OF her cell. She was held today in S5l
