Hinton, KY, Oct. 30th.-(Special)
1T has long been claimed that Da-
betes is incurable, but Mr. f. j.
Thompson, teacher in the Hinton
school. has pleasing evidence to the
contrary. Mr.. Thompson had Diabe-
ties. He took Dodd's Kidney Pills and
is cured. In statement he makes
regarding the cure Mr.. Thompson
says:
81 was troubled with my kidneys
for more than two years and was
treated by two of the best doctors in
this part of the state. They claimed
I had Diabetes and there was little to
be done for me. Then | started to
use Dodd's Kidney Pills and what they
did for me was wonderful. It is en-
tirely owing to Dodd's Kidney Pills
that I am now enjoying good health"

A Sermon In II.

In the following paragraph, from a
story by Gouverneur Morris, in the
Reader magazine, there is a whole
sermon: Edward" said my grand
father, never undertake to patronize
God. If you feel that you do not un.
derstand Him keep it to yourself. It is
enough to know that you were dust
and He made a man of you; that you
grow weary at length and He gives
you sleep!"-Atlanta Constitution.

ANARCHY FROM ONE END

Emperors Supporters Searching for
Way Out of Crisis into Which
Revolutionsts Have Cast

The general strike on the railroads
| is complete except in a few border
provinces, and st. Petersburg, Mos
cow and other large cities are almost
as closely beleaguered as If they were
invested by besieging armies. At the
same time the industrial strike has as.
sumed large dimensions and the tur.
bulent element in several localities are
offering open resistance to the troop
erS.
The postal authorities are now re
fusing to accept ordinary mail and in
ternational correspondence is at a
standstill. The strike is complete in
the great factory region on both banks
of the Neva above the city and in sew.
eral other industrial quarters. Forty
thousand men are out. but they are
conducting themselves in a most or.
derby manner. The Store Clerks
union has proclaimed two weeks
sympathetic strike for political rights,
but it is probable that it will be only
partially observed. Prudent inhabit.
ants are laying in stocks of provisions
so as to prepare for emergencies. AS
a consequence the prices of provisions
have risen sharply.
Large meetings, mainly of workmen,
were held Wednesday night, in the
university and the higher schools, at |
which the sentiment was unanimous |
for continuing the strike on the rail- |
roads to the bitter end. The proceed. !
ings at several of the meetings were |
of strongly revolutionary character,
the orators calling on their auditors to |
slay all "Chinovniks." and the police,
and to meet the troops with armed |
force. These speeches were received
with enthusiastic cheers. The police
were powerless to interfere, the pre-
cincts Of the university being forbid.

church in Bangor, Me-, certain citi-

grievances, was evidently touched by

and told of his regrets as to his sinful

solved to deal Justly and live upright

the sound of his voice who felt that he
had wronged him and would come to
his home the next day he would make
restitution.
The next morning about O'Clock
the midnight quiet of his neighborhood
was broken by very loud knocking
on his front door, and voice which
showed much Impotence asked, HAL
