Washburn and D'Alma's famous
trained animal shows, moral, mighty
and magnificent, will surely exhibit
in this city the afternoons and even
ings Of May 1st, ID and Sd, at Eighth
and Lombard streets, rain or shine,
the mighty exhibition is given under
waterproof tents, and two solid hours
Of the keenest en- njoyment is assured to
all. No show which will visit this
locality this season promises so much,
and no show now before the public 80
faithfully fultils every promise made.
There is no feature advertised but
what positively appears, and while
some Of the novelties announced by
the flaming posters are seemingly inn
possible, and never before witnessed,
the management stakes its reputation
that every act announced to appear
will positively be given just as adver-
tised and pictured. In a nutshell, the
Washburn and D'Alma shows this
season are the finest and most fasoinat-
ing that ever dazzled and delighted
the public eye.

All Of the scenes and incidents con-
tanned in "Mr. Dooley," the musical
comedy Of novel distinction and which

with frolicsome interest and the action
moves with such alacrity that the
merrymakers are kept in a constant
turmoil Of comical antics. The surpris-
ing number Of high class musical gems
and the song infusions OF characteris-
tic tunefulness are said to run a pretty
tight race during the intervals allotted
for the relief of the exciting comedy
work.

Looking back to the gray. of the morning when he had shaken hands with Gov. Marston at the door of the room on the top floor of the Kittleton building, the crowding events made the interval seem more like a week; and now the events themselves were be- ginning to take on dream-like incon- gruities in the haze of utter weariness.
 Evening Argus! all about the plim- mary trial of Gov. Bucks. Argus, sir?" piped small boy at the station exit; but Kent shook his head, found cab and had himself conveyed quickly through streets still rife with excite ment to the Clarendon hotel.
 In the lobby was the same bee-buzz- ing crowd with which he had been con- tending all day, and he edged his way through it to the elevator. praying that he might go unrecognized-as he did. Once safe in his rooms he sent for Lor- ing, stretching himself on the bed in very ecstacy of relaxation until the ex-manager came up. Then he emptied his mind as an overladen ass spills its panniers.
 "Im done, Grantham," he said; land that is more different kinds of truth than you have heard in week. Go and reorganize your management, and

 You shall have it." was the prompt response What have you done since our last discussion of the subject?"
 'I tried to 'obliterate' Judge Mac Farlane, as you suggested. But failed in the first step. Bucks and Meigs refused to approve the quo war ranto."
 1 The judge knitted his brows thought fully.
 That way is open to you now; but it is long and devious. and de- lays are always dangerous. You spoke of the receivership as being part of plan by which your road was ] to be turned over to an eastern mo- nopoly. How nearly has that plan suc- ceeded" Kent hesitated, not because he was afraid to trust the man Oliver Mars- ton, but because there were some things which the governor of the state might feel called upon to investigate if the knowledge of them were thrust upon him. But in the end he took counsel of utter frankness.
 "So nearly that if Bucks and the re- ceiver had reached Gaston last night, our road would now be in the hands of the Plantagoulds under a 99-year lease"
 The merest ghost of a smile fitted over the lieutenant governors face when he said, with his nearest ap- proach to sarcasm:
 How extremely opportune the con- fusion of train orders becomes as we go along! But answer one more ques- ton if you please-it will not involve these singularly needless railway en- ployes of yours: Is Judge MacFarlane in Gaston now?''
 He is. He was to have met the oth- CTS on the arrival of the special train |"
 There were footsteps on the stair and in the corridor, and Marsfon rose.
 Our privacy Is about to be'invaded. Mir. Kent This is a miserable busi- ness: miserable for everybody, but most of all for the deceived and hood winked people of an unhappy state. God knows. did not seek this office: but since it has fallen on me, shall do my duty as I see it. and my hand shall be heaviest upon that man who makes a moekery of the justice he is sworn to administer Come to the cap ifOl little later in the day. prepared to go at once to Gaston.

 But the lieutenant governor gas pushing him toward the door.
 You have done something. Mir. Kent, and you can do more. Head those people o1 at the dcor and say that for the present I refuse positively to be seen or interviewed They uiT find me at the capitol during oracs hours"

 "I didn't have, after the men under stood what was in the wind. Jarl Ole son took me down and brought me back. The council did it handsomely, dipping into it's treasury and paying the mileage on Pullman car"
 And MacFarlane reversed his own order?"
 Without question. It was the merest formality. Jennison, Hawks former law partner, stood for the other side; but he made no argument"
 "Good." said Loring. That will do for the days work. But now I'd like to know how last nights job wss man. aged"
 T'm afraid you want to know more than is good for you. What do the papers say? haven't looked at one all day"
 "They say there was a misunder- standing of orders. That will answer for the public. perhaps. but 1t won't do for me-"
 "I guess it will have to do for you, too, Grantham." said Kent, yawning shamelessly. Five men, besides my self-six of us in all-know the true inwardness of last nights roundup. There will never be seventh"
 Loring's eyeglasses fell lfrom his nose. and he was smiling shrewdly when he replaced them.
 There is one small consequence that doesn't please you. I'm sure. You'll have to bury the hatchet with Mac Farlane."
 Shall IF" flashed Kent, sitting up as if he had been struck with whip. Let me tell you: Marston is going to call an extra session of the assembly. There is a death vacancy in this dis trict. and shall be candidate in the special election. If there is no other way to get at MacFarlane. he shall be impeached." q
 "H'm: SO you're going into politics?"
 "You've said it." said Kent, subsid- ing among the pillows. "Now will you go?"
 It took the general manager wake full 24 hours to untangle the industrial snarl which was the receivers legacy to his successor: and David Kent slept through the major part of that inter val. rising only in time to dress for dinner on the day following the re- trieval of the Trans-western.
 In the grill-room of the Camelot he came face to face with Ormssy. and learned, something to his aston ishment. that the Breezeland party had returned to the capital on the first train In from the west.

CHAPTER xxx. SUBHI SADIK.

The dawn of new day was graying over the capital city, and the newsboys were crying Justify in the streets, when David Kent felt his way up the dar, staircases of the Kittleton building to knock at the door of Judge Oliver Marston's rooms on the top floor. He was the bearer of tidings, and he made to more than formal excuse for the unseemly hour when the door was opened by the Acknowledgements
 "I am sorry to disturb you, Judge Marston." he began, when he had closed the door at his back and was facing the tall thin figure in flannel dressing gown and slippers. but I imagine I'm only a few minutes ahead of the crowd. Have you heard the news of the night?"
 The judge pressed the button of the drop-light and waved his visitor to a chair.
 T have heard nothing. Mir Kent Have a cigarT"-passing the box of unutterable stogies.

B0ES YOUR BAgk=ACHE.?

fiat t'.utleeoL pair in the small If tne back points straight to kidney sickness. Baokache will not leave of It's own accord. nor will sick kidneys cure themselves. Every day of neg iect makes the cV-e harder.
 Inactive kidneys cause rheumatism, neuralgia, gout, headaches, dizzy spells, nausea, indigestion, weak heart, gravel, stone in the kidneys. dropsy and too frequent passages of urine.
 When you first feel pain in the small of the back, or first notice anything wrong with the urine. don't delay a moment Give the kidneys the help they need.
 Doan's Kidney Pills have a quick and direct action on the kidneys. They drive out the poisons that infest the blood, cleanse and stimulate the kid neys, regulate the urine. cure hack ache. dizziness and languor, and per manently heal the kidneys.
