Banks Pay Out $3.50. 900.

The Chicago National bank paid out
81 100000 yesterday and the Home
Savings bank $35O.000 There was no
waiting line of depositors at the bank
doors at any time during the day. Con
fidence had been restored to such an
extent that thousands of depositors
turned over their accounts to other
banks for collection.
AT this rate it is calculated that prac-
tically all depositOrs will have been
paid by Jan. l. After that time ii may
take three or four months to complete
the liquidation. The 100 or more of
flee employees of the Walsh institutions
were notified that they would be dis
charged at the end of the present
month.
Dcne in Court.
The affairs of the Equitable Trust
company will be wound up by proceed
ings practically confined TO the courts.
Petitions will be presented asking that
the courts transfer estates in trust
from the Equitable concern to other
trustees.

TEST CASE FROM CHICAGO
Woman Received Decree Before Law
Went Into Effect-Trust Estate
Law Not Good.

According 70 decision handed down
by the supreme court yesterday, divorc-
ed persons can pot receive marriage
licenses in the state of Illinois until
one year after the decree has been is
sued. 1t makes b. difference whether
the divorce was secured before the
enactment OF the law or since.
The point was raised in a Chicago
case in which the woman had received
a decree on June IS. just TWO days pre-
vious TO the law going into effect. The
clerk refused TO issue the license and
a writ of mandamus was issued. The
clerk appealed.

OPPOSES SALOON
As INSTITUTION
A. D. WARNER ADDRESSES A
LARGE MEETING
FAv0RS PROPOSED ORDINANCE E
Says He Would Rather Local Brewers
Control Licenses Than Busch
Of ST. Louis or Schlltz of
Milwaukee

A. u. Warner addressed large audi
night on the "no-saloon" movement.
He gave his reasons for favoring the
passage Of the proposed new temper
ance ordinance, drawn by the Anti
Saloon league, and incidentally pro-
pounded few questions intended for
Gen. c. f. A. Last of the Royal Arch.
During the course of his remarks Mr..
Warner said:
why all this hullaballoo about
Tourists not being able to be supplied
with drinks?'
"I am not very much in favor of this
ordinance myself and I am unalter-
ably opposed to the saloon as an in
stitution. AS have stated in the Curse
of the Modern Saloon 1T Is no more
nor less than a stall or stable designed
by malevoence and cunning to rob men
of reason and money But this ordi-
nance will accomplish little or nothing.
1t may break up the monopoly of the
local breweres owning the licenses;
and I underst and that the Milwaukee
and ST. Louis brewers are in sympathy
with the movement for that purpose.
License Question
"If any one is to own and control the
licenses, / would rather our own local
brewers should control them than that
Mr.. Busch of st. Louis, or Schlitz of
Milwaukee, should do so. How many
saloons will it put out of business?
Probably not more than half of them.
For today there are nearly a hundred
situated in buildings which are hotels
or can be easily turned into hotels.
Is this not enough for the tourists?
But, in addition to these, there are
dozens of others. 1t will close up a
lot of dives that ought not to have
been allowed to exist-that are fences
and dens, resorted to by thieves and
crooks, in which robberies and hold
ups are planned, and put into execu-
tion, and for this reason only, if for no
other, this ordinance ought to have
the support of every thinking,
law-abiding citizen who desires to see
conditions bettered and men and the
community elevated rather than de-
graded"
Los Angeles herald., 1905-05-03

apart from the moral question at issue,
there should be a fight against the
saloon.
Charles Scott OF u. s. G. said that
when there was a saloon on every cor
ner conditions we're much worse than
they are today and that they would
be much better If there we're no sa-
looms. j. M. Glass and Rev. r. IT,.
Young Of San Diego were among the
other speakers at the morning session
and in the afternoon and evening
oliver w. stewart was the chief speak
er. Mr.. Stewart is a well known tenn
perance orator of Chicago. Others who
spoke were Rev. G. ]. Hall Dr. Tiffany,
of Pennsylvania and Prof. Kelsey of
Whittier college.
The following resolution was passed:
Resolved that this meeting hereby de-
sires to place itself on record as being
In hearty sympathy with the present
no-saloon campaign now being con-
Quoted in Los Angeles and that while
we have no power to pledge the party
as an organization we do as individuals
express our sincere desire for the sue
cess of this effort to rid this city of
the legalized saloon.

Jeffries says that pugilism does not pay.
Immediately after his present week
engagement in Cincinnati in the role
of Davy Crockett Jeffries will go to
Chicago and fill an engagement of one
week there. This will be his last pub
lie appearance. One week from next
Monday in Chicago is the time set by
him today for his permanent retirement
as fighter and an actor.
This aft ernoon Jeffres received word
from Klaw & Erlanger releasing him of
all his theatrical contracts and engage
ments. This action was taken at the
request of Jeffries. who then made the
following statement to a reporter:
81 may possibly take summer trip
to Europe with my wife, after which l
am going into the mining business with
my brother Jack and 1 shall hereafter
devote my time to it, The principal
reason for my retiring. from the ring
and from the stage is that my wife
objects. That has been the controlling
influence in my reaching this determin-
alton. l have decided to quit fighting
for all time. The last fight L had in
San Francisco was fairly well patron
lied, and although L won the big end
of the purse there was but little in il
for me. I have determined along with
my wife that it is not worth while tc
go into the ring any more. The public
is tickle. l am well provided with this
worlds goods and am done with stage
and ring. Billy Delaney is also vel
fixed and he will also retire from the
business with me. When my engage
ment ends in Chicago, one week from
next Monday, shall make my last bow
as public character and shall never
again go on the stage or in the prizC
ring"

Jeffries decision to retire from the
disturbing activities of the roped arena
has evidently been reached within the
course of the last three weeks. When
he was in Manhattan several weeks ago
he was interviewed upon the all impor-
tant subject and he then declared that
Il would like to get back to the train
ing camp and be ready for a possible
rival as soon as he bobs up and looks
the goods I"
How long do you think you will be
able to retain the title" was then ask
ed. The champion replied in this wise:
"WeIl, suppose l will surprise a great
many persons before l let go of the
title. OF course in my present condi-
ton, / feel that / can defeat any man
in the world. l am just thirty years
old and never felt stronger"
Now that our fellow citizen has re-
tired as a public character it is inter-
esting to note that he was never a
boilermaker at all. While lodging the
festive counter and jolt he has always
been referred to as the "boilermaker, D."
but according to the archives of history
his claim to that title is slightly wobbly
and insecure to say the least.
This upsets all the theories that the
champion got his trrble hitting power
by lying on his back and heading
rivets. When the truth is published
the boiler foundries all over the coun-
try will lose hundreds of prospective
boxing champions, who are at present
industriously following Jeff's supposed
example.
The truth of the matter is that JEFF
ries did when youngster work for a
while in a brass foundry. 1t was Lacy
& Co, of Los Angeles, that employed
him. Mr.. Lacy, the head of the COM
pany, had liking for sport. one day
he told an athletic acquaintance that
there was youngster in the foundry
who could whip any man in the
world.
why do you think so?" asked the
friend.

The acquaintance told Mr.. Lacy that

young Jeffries tried his hand at com
petng in the ring and soon left tbs
brass foundry for good.

any time.

Kidneys are Sick
Cure Them with Doan's Kidney Pills

Backache and urinary troubles are
danger signals sent to tell you that the
kidneys are clogged and congested;
that the system Is rapidly filling up
with uric acid and other poisonous
waste that should be passed off in the
urine. A..
blood every day more than an ounce
of poison. But when the kidneys are
sick, this f1ltering process Is eithell
hindered or suspended. So the BODY
can never be we'll when the kidneys
are i'll: and 1t is because so many peo-
pie neglect sick kidneys that kidney
diseases are causing more deaths tndh
any other human Ills.
It is easy to cure any form OF KID

before It reaches fatal stage, ana
there are many symptoms to tell yod
when you have kidney disorders.
The most common of these symptoms
are:
Pain in the small of the back,

Headaches and dizzy spells.
Nervousness, languor.
Too copious or too scanty dis
charge of urine.
Thick, cloudy discolored and
ill-smelling urine, with deposits
Having to get out of bed at
night to pass urine, etc.
The blood carries the urinous waste
to every part of the body. 1t gets into
the nervous system and causes neu-
ralgia or sciatica; 1t gets into the mus
cles and causes rheumatic pains and
gout It weakens the lungs and irri-
tates the heart, causing the heart 10

You lapse into general rundown
