TOPEKA TEsTIAIONY.

Mrs. Rachel Codington. Of 1907
Woodward avenue, Topeka, Kan, says:
mr.. Codington is Just as strong in his
praise of Doan's kidney Pills today
as he was six years ago when he first
publicly endorsed them through our
Topeka papers. Prior to using this
medicine he had been troubled with
kidney complaint for about two years.
The pain in his back was so severe al
times that it was with great difficulty
that he could straighteu after stoop-
ing and at night his rest was much dis
turbed. The least cold he took in
creased his suffering. Doan's Kidney
Pills went right to the seat of his
trouble and cured him. Since that
time he has never had any indication
of back ache or kidney trouble. This
speaks highly in favor of DOan's Kid
ney Pills when it is understood that
Mr.. Codington is seventy-eight years
of age. We have yet to hear Of Doan's
Kidney Pills failing to do exactly as
represented.

Reactionaries Said to Be Aroused by

The Vienna correspondent of the London
Chronicle says he has excellent authority
for saying that a conspiracy is afoot among
the Russian reactionartes to dethrone the
car. They reproach the emperor for his
excessive weakness and incompetence. as
shown by his projected reforms. which are
calculated to undermine the power of the
bureaucracy. They demand a stronger
ruler, who will be able to hold the reform
ers in check. A revolution in the palace is
likely to precede revolution by the people
The reactionaries desire Nicholas sue

The correspondent adds that 1t is rumored
that the car and his family are about to
take up their residence at Ilyinskoe. the
beautiful estate near Moscow of the late
Grand Duke Sergius, where the palace is
being prepared for the reception of the i'm
perial family.
The Tokyo correspondent of the Tele-
graph quotes an officer who has returned
from Manchuria saying that Gen. Line
vitchs troops were greatly depressed by the
news of the disaster to Admiral Rojestven-

become Indifferent and the men do not con-
ceal their distaste for their duties All the

portunity they throw up their hands and

GOVERNOR FORGOT HIS CASH.
Neither Could Guest, His Physician,
Paw for Dinner

Gov. Stokes of New Jersey was tempo
rarily embarras sed last night in Trenton
when. after inviting his physician, Dr. G.
Norton, to dine with him at a local res
taurant. he discovered, upon presentation
of his BILL that he was out of funds. Dr.
Norton fastened to relieve the situation,
but, after fumbling in his pockets a few
moments, discovered that he, too was with
out ready money. In dressing hastily for
dinner both men had forgotten to make the
financial changes necessary for those who
dine in public places
To add to his dilemma. there was a new
man at the desk who refused 10 charge the
account.
II am the governor of New Jersey and
will settle this little matter when / come in
again." said Mr.. Stokes.
I'm President Roosevelt, and you'll set
tie now" replied the clerk, Jelly.
AT this point waiter in the establish
ment stepped up and identified the gov
ernor, adding the assurance, upon his own
responsibility. that he might have anything
in the establishment. Apologies by the new
clerk followed, and the governor left, laugh
ing at what he admits to be joke on him.
