An Honest Opinion.

Mineral, Idaho, Oct. 1eth.-(Spe-
cial. )-That a sure cure has been dis
covered for those sciatic pains that
make so many lives miserable is the
firm opinion of Mr. D. S. Colson, a
well-known resident of this place. and
he does not hesitate to say that cure
is Dodd's Kidney Pills. The reason
Mr.. Colson is SO firm in his opinion
is that he had those terrible pains and
is cured. Speaking OF the matter he
says:
Il am only too happy to say Dodd's
Kidney Pills have done me lots of
good. I had awful pains in my hip SO
l could hardly walk. Dodd's Kidney
Pills stopped it entirely. l think they
are a grand medicine"
All Sciatic and Rheumatic pains are
caused by Uric Acid in the blood
Dodd's Kidney Pills make healthy kid
neys and healthy kidneys strain all
the Uric Acid out OF the blood With
the cause removed there can be no
Rheumatism or Sciatica.

LOVE BILL Is VALID.
Judge Brooks Denies the Railroads Ap
plicaton for Injunction.

Austin, Texas: The railroads lost
the opening round in the fight against
the Love bill taxing them l per cent OF
their gross earnings. District Judge

refused the injunction and sustained
the law in toto. He was not decided
as to how much of the tax is due, but
will hear evidence as to that feature
and then determine It.
OF course the case will be appealed
to the higher courts. first the Third
Appellate Court and then the Supreme
Court. If the railroads should lose
in the Texas Supreme Court, the rail
roads have announced that the case
will be taken to the Supreme Court of
the United States for final determina-
ton Upon conclusion of argument
Judge Brooks gave the decision ad-
verse to the railroads.
