TWICE-TOLD TESTIMONY.
Topeka People Are Doing All They
Can for Fellow Sufferers.

Topeka testimony has been publish
ed to prove the merit Of Doan's Kid
ney Pills to others in Topeka who suf
Ter from bad backs and kidney ills
Lest any sufferer doubt that the cures
made by Doan's Kidney Pills are thor
ough and lasting, we produce confirm
ed proof-statements from Topeka
people saying that the cures they told
of years ago were permanent. Here's
a Topeka case:
N H. Wolff, merchant tailor, of 42e
Kansas avenue, and residing at 5o2
West Sixth street, Topeka, Kan. saws:
Il suffered from backache for a wear
or more. During severe attacks 1
thought my back would break and it
troubled me so severely at night that
could not lie in any one position with
comfort There was also a kidney
weakness that was very annoying, the
eecretions being highly colored and ir-
regular. Learning about Doan's Kid
ney Pills procured them and they re-
neys and the pain in my back is a
thing of the past Statement made
in 1890.
Confirmed in 1905.
On March 27, 1905. Mr.. Wolr said.
y can as ardently testify to the value
of Doan's Kidney Pills now as vvheT, T

WHY NAME WAS CHANGED.
Golden State Limited Became the
California Express.

Golden State Limited Became the
California Express.
The Golden State Limited which had
it's name changed about month ago
when chair car was added to it and
the conductors received orders - ac-
cept all kinds of transportation for
passage, is now known as the Cali
fornia Express.
The change of name was caused by
an agreement the Rock Island and the
Santa Fe have to the effect that edi-
torial and other free transportation
would not be accepted for the passage
on limited trains.
The Rock Island having more bust
ness for their No. 80. which leaves FL
Paso at 6:45 in the evening, had to
either allow second class and free
transportation used on the Golden
State or put on an additional train.
The California Express made the
same time and in every way has, the
same accommodations for first class
passengers as it did when it was called
the Golden State Limited, and to pas
sengers holding this kind of~transpor-
tation the only difference is the name.
while the difference to the holders of
ANIMALS and other free transportation
is at least 5 cents per mile.

ANOTHER REMARKABLE {

would lead to his resignation or re-
moval. 1t is, however, common talk
in resorts where baseball players most
do congregate that the young manager
will of his own vohtion resign in the
next few days.
1t is known that Mr.. Stanley Robi-
sons action in ordering the players of
tice every day led to serious trouble in
the club. The players had just won
four successive games They were 60
ing at a fast gait when Mr.. Robison's
order was issued.
Though it may seem to the average
man who works from eight to eigh-
teen hours a day that practicing base
ball for one hour each morning is no
great hardship for men who are paid
an average of S400 per month for
three hours work per diem. baseball
players are an odd and erratic lot.

NO SCARCITY OF CARS YET.
Local Roads Have No Trouble in
Handling Wheat Crop.


The railroads running into Topeka re-
port that they are having no trouble in
handling the wheat and that if the
shipments are as steady as at present
there will be no scarcity of freight cars.
The movement of the wheat from Kan
sas, Oklahoma and Nebraska has been
very even and has caused no material
shortage in cars so far. All the wheat
carrying roads are keeping close watch
on their supply of cars and are insisting
that they be returned Immediately.
Along the Rock Island the heavy
rains have delayed the threshing O.,
the wheat but larger part of it is
ready for shipment whenever the farm
ers can get a satisfactory price From
appearances it seems as if the farmers
are holding back the wheat in order to
get an advanced price. 1t is reported
that the Russian wheat crop has fallen
short about $1,000 bushels of the former
estimate. The Santa Fe is still distrib-
uting the cars on the basis of Mr..
Koontz's 81, 500, 600 bushel estimate.
The heavy shipments have not been
made yet but the rush is expected in
the near future. Foreign cars are being
used by some of the roads. The Missouri
Pacific officials a Wichita state that
they are running very near the limit of
their available cars and that two hun
dred and fifty extra cars could be used
to good advantage by that road.

FOX ELECTED.

Washington, April 5.-The executive board of the Bureau of American Re publics today elected William c. Fox, the present chief clerk of the bureau to be director to succeed w. w. Rock hill, appointed minister to China. MT. Fox's election was by exclamation, in recognition of his long and satisfac tory service as chief clerk and as a manifestation of the regard cherished for him by the members of the board
 When 1t came to the selection of the chief clerk to succeed MT. Fox it became evident that the board was not disposed to waive the requirement of an examination. so that the appoint ment of MT, Gordon Cummings, the administrations choice for that place, was not effected. Some of the dele gates argued that though an exception had been made in the case of the ap- pointment of MT. Fox, based on his long connection with the bureau, the board should adhere to the rules laid down at the Pan-American congress in the city of Mexico several years ago and appoint its own officers only after thorough examination to determine their fitness. committee of three delegates therefore, was appointed to examine MT. Cummings and every oth- CT well endorsed applicant for the place of chief clerk before an apoint- ment Is made.

MAY DEFEAT PALMA
RESULT HOPED FOR BY THE CUBAN
 NATIONALISTS.
Moderate Party, to Which President Declared His Allegiance, Loses
 Control of Both Branches of Congress.

Havana, April 5.-The election of of ficers of Congress today demonstrated that the Nationalist Party is in con trol of both branches. The Moderate Party, to which President Palma re- gently declared his allegiance, now has only nine Senators against thirteen Nationalists and one Independent, while the House has thrty-two Nation alists, twenty-four Moderates and five Independents.
 The ascendency of the Nationalists Is due to the withdrawal of the Mod crate organization of Santa Clara prov ince from the Moderate Party on ac- count of alleged injustice on matters of the party's representation The Senate elected it's one independ- ent member. General Manuel Sanguilly, 8 popular soldier and orator. as Pres ident, to succeed M. Mendez CapOte, leader of the Moderate Party and the intimate advisor of President Palma.

STATEMENT ISSUED.
The ID. 4. R. Tells of Expenditure of
 Certnfn Money.

Certain Money.
 Washington, April 5.-The following statement was issued today by order of the Board of Management of the the American Revolution:
 So much publicity has been given to the fact that the Board of Manage inent has appropriated $5,600 or as much thereof as may be necessary for putting Memorial Continental Hall into condition for the Fourteenth Conti- mental Congress and such a general misunderstanding seems to exist both within the Society and without as to the use to which the money will be put, that the Board of Management has re- auctantly felt obliged to issue a public statement through the press in regard to the detailed expenditure of this money.
 "The last contract given out by the Building Committee was for 5000. This included the construction of the Auditorium, lobby and certain other rooms and nearly exhausted the perma- nent fund-not current fund-of the Society. Under the Constitution of the Society no debt can be incurred, and while much money remains in the treasury of the Society, 1t is not at the disposal of the Building Committee.
 Tn order therefore, to place the hall Nn proper COuOlClOu tO nOiQ IHe COn- gress there it was necessary to com pIete certain other permanent features, such as the plumbing, construction of the toilet room, installation of the sewerage, electric lighting, gas and water systems. the setting of the glass roof of the auditorium, the heating ap- paratus, and many other permanent features not included in the $95,000 contract which nearly exhausted the fund at the disposal of the Building Committee.
 '"The Board of Management decided that 1t would be entirely proper to ap- propriate from the current fund such amounts as could be propely charged to contingent expenditure. The amount appropriated for these expenditures, if the Congress is to be held in Conti- mental Hall, is no larger than the an nual appropriation heretofore made for this purpose from the current accounts, while we have the additional satis- faction of knowing that by far the greater portion of the expense is for permanent work on Continental Hall, not for the rent and alterations of a theatre belonging to some one else which is used by our Society fdr one week only"

 arrested and were fined by the Re- corder. The young men were subse- quently found guilty in the City Court Alexander and Fully were bound over
 to the grand jury and were indicted. The principal defendant was freed by a Montgomery jury of the main charge against him.
 Yesterday police officers told on the witness stand of the raid and of vari

 hotel calculated to prove that the third floor was used as gambling house. Other State witnesses testified that
 they had seen dice games on the third
 floor of the hotel
 The defendant introduced witnesses who testified that these rooms were
 used as a pool and billiard parlor and that they had engaged in games of pool and billiards in them.
