Anarchy in the Balkans.

The condition of affairs in the Balkan
States is causing much uDeasiness in
official circles in Vienna. The hope OF
a comparatively peaceful spring which
had previously been expressed is growing
less. and it is declared that the reform
work has now been conclusively proved
without good or lasting results.
In Zagoricham, province of Koritsa,
early this month Greeks fell upon and
killed more than 1870 BuIgarians, aud in
Kumanovo, province Of Uskub, Turks
have killed several Seryisns. Thus It
is seen that all ~nationalilies and Christ
ilns and Mohammcdans continue fight
ing each other, while Turkey seems I'M
able or not DESTROYS Of sffording prolec-
ton to the people and stopping the dis
orders.
Formerly there was only the passive
resistance of Turkey to contend with,
but now the situation has been sg-
gravaied by the growing bitter and pas
slonate hatred of the various %natlonall-
ties against each other, and there is a
possibility that some one of the Balkan
States might actively enter the field I'M
der the prett nse of proie tngi its subjects.

A follower of John Alexander Dowie,

the house, wounding several Chinese,
striking Mr.. Kennedy on the head, and
leaving him apparently dead, and locting
all bis goods. A messenger who left
Tsuugli early the next morning reported
that Mr.. Kennedy was still alive at the
time of his departure, and later advices
give hopes OF his recovery. tActing
American Consul Davidson promptly
dispatched the vice consul with twenty

ance at Tsungli. There have baen vague
rumors of disturbances and growth of
anti-foreign feeling similar to that which
led tc the Boxer uprising in 1900, but
no official adgices have come to the

A large part Of the poison created
within the body. or separated from the
food We eat, is passed off by the kid
neys through the urine. IT is very
important that this hltering work OF
the kidneys should go on undisturbed,
otherwise. the body cannot remain in
a condition OF health.
Very little causes are likely 10 set the
kidneys wrong, and kidney diseases
come on 50 quietly that at first they
are not noticed. There is little pain,
other than backache, and few outward
signs besides trregularity OF the pas
sages Of the urine. If the trouble is
continually neglected. however, IL soon
reaches a stage Of constant backaChe,
pain, and distress. and there is no more
terrible afTiiction than Bright's disease,
which may be the final outcome
IT is very necessary to keep the kid
neys well. and there is one remedy that
can be always depended on-Doan's Kid
ney Pills. This remedy begins its work
kidneys, arOusing them 20 action and
increasing the flow Of urine, so that
urea, uric acid, and sediment are
washed from the kidneys and bladder
and driven out Of the system. The
treatment rebuilds and invigorates the
kidney tissue, assists IN hltering Of the
blood and dissoIves crystallized poison.
Doan's Kidney Pills are especially and
solely for the kidneys; they are made
from pure roots and herbs that in
natural way heal and tone up the dell
cate kidney organism and so cure the
cause Of disease.
