A DANGEROUS MISTAKE.
Mothers Should Not Neglect
Kidney Weakness in Children.

Most children have weak kidneys,
The earliest warning is bed-wet-
ing.
Later comes backache, headache,
languor.
IT'S mistake to neglect these
troubles,
To blame the child for its own
distress.
Seek to cure the Kidneys
Save the child from deadly kid
ney ills.
Doan's Kidney Pills cure sick
Parents recommend them.
Mrs. C. H. Blain, of Corpus
Christi, Texas, says: My grand
child, about eight years of age,
was troubled with a kidney ard
bladder ailment about a year ago.
The symptoms became more pro-
nounced and at night had to watch
her and wake her up or she would
wet the bed as she seemed to have
no control over the action of the
kidney secretions. She also COM
planned of pain in the back of her
neck and head. Procuring Doan's
Kidney Pills, l was grateful to see
the change for the better within
short time l have great faith in

coURAeg Of LOWER ANIMAls.
Species That Are Noted for Their
Remarkable Pugnacity.

The bulldog possesses the distinc-
ton Of being one of the most fearless
of animals. This animal has been ex-
tensively used for bull batting when
that so-called amusement was fash
ionable in older times, and hence its
name. The bulldog is a most devoted
and faithful companion, it's affection
being mainly centered on one per-
son. II the bulldog or its master is
attacked it will fasten on its oppo-
nent with grip which, unless killed
or called of by its master, it is ex-
ceedingly difficult to loosen or get
rid OF. The pike and king cuttlefish,
among fishes. and the eagle and
gamecock among birds, would rank
as the most fearless of their respec-
tive species The gamecock is noted
for its pugnaeity, and is never willing
to give up contest until death has
taken one Of the combatants. There
Is no animal which a gamecock would
hesitate to attack on the slightest
provocation. A full-grown gorilla is
as fearless as a lion, and would never
hesitate to attack the lion African
travellers charge the lion with cow
ardice, and pronounce him to be a
pretentious humbug. He will run
away like whipped cur under cir
cumstances in which a tiger will bold
ly attack and kill.

THINK ONLY OF PLEASURE
DURING REIGN OF TERROR
Russians Seem Indifferent to Fate,
Having No Thought Of Tomorrow
Spending Vast Sums in Riot
GUS Living.

ST. Petersburg-Th renewal of ter
rorism on large scale has greatly in
tensified the hostility of the ruling
classes against the Jews, who long
have been regarded as the brains OF
the revolution, and, it is believed,
has correspondingly diminished the
chances of the Jews obtaining more
than a nominal enlargement of their
rights. Every official report of assas.
sination or other crime emphasizes the
role played in it by Jews; and the last
week saw the launching of two par.
ties, the National" at st. Petersburg,
and the Russian Popular party" at
Moscow, the principal planks in whose
platforms are for the exclusion OF
Jews from all political activity ano
from service in the army, the latter to
be committed, as in the cases of Tar
tars and Firms, for a money consider
alton. The Moscow organization pro-
poses to rid the country of Jews by
endorsing the Zionist movement and
urging the government to assist it.
1t is remarkable that amid all the
crime, bloodshed and horror with
which the country is filled, the music
hall and cafes are thronged nightly by
gay crowds. A brother of Premier
Stolypin, writing in the Novoe Vrem-
va, calls attention to this weakness of
his countrymen, who, in the presence
OF the greatest crisis he says, thinh
only of pleasure. NJ. Stolypin says it
was always thus in Russia that of.
ficers on the eve of battle carouse
and spend money that would feed
starving peasant families. He calls it
the spirit which inspired the orgies Of
the middle ages, while thousands were
dying of the plague. The only reac.
tion noticeable is the increase in the
activity of the Black Hundred organ
ization. Count Konovnitsin, the head
of the organization known as the
True Russian People" whose life
was attempted recently. calls on his
followers to revenge his death by the
destruction of thousands of those who
are terrorizing the nation under the
flag of liberty" in case the next at.
tempt is successful.
In the vendetta between the govern
ment and revolutionarles, women, and
especially girls, who have always
a prominent part in the liberation
movement, continue to enact leading
roles. Many of them are high born.
Princess Obolenski was arrested Sat
urday at Rybinsk, near Yaroslav, for

CANS is GIVEN DECISION
IN FORTY-SECOND ROUND
One Of the Greatest Fights In Pugll.
istic History Brought to An End
When Nelson Fouled the
colored Man.

Goldheld, Nevada-In the forty
second round of one Of the greatest
pugilistic battles in the history of the
country. Battling Nelson fouled Joe
Cans, the colored fighter, and Referee
Siler gave the fight to Cans.
Referee Siler claims the foul was
altogether a palpable one. After the
blow was struck, Cans slowly sank to
the floor and was carried to his cor
ner, Referee Sller Immediately dis.
qualified Nelson and gave the fight to
Cans OF foul. The blow was struck
low, after Nelson apparently felt
around on the negro for a vital point
to place it, The decision of Siler met
with the approval of nearly every one
present. At the time the blow was
struck the final outcome was still in
doubt. Cans had a long lead on
points, but the Battler was still COM
ing on for more and was apparently
as strong as Cans. Twice during the
battle Nelson was knocked down, but
in each case came up as strong as If
It did not affect him. After the fight
Cans claimed he broke his right hand
in the thirty-third round and fought
from that time until the end of the
contest entirely with his left hand.
Referee Siler warned Nelson against
fouling by butting with his head sew
eral times during the contest, and
said he did not disqualify Nelson at
the time because he believed Cans
was not hurt and the crowd wanted to
see a fight.
President TEX" Richard announced
before the fight that the actual purse
was $33,500, of which Nelson was TO
get $22.500 and Cans $1,000.

Meat Products Must be Truth

Secretary Wilson Tells Packers What
They Must Be Prepared to DO on
October list In Order to Send
Goods Through Channels

Washington.-Secretary Wilson as
sured the representatives Of the meat
packing interests OF the country with
whom he continued his conference on
Friday that he had no authority to
extend beyond the list of October
next the placing Of labels on canned
or other meats products. He told the
packers fatty that they must be pre-
pared on that date properly to label
their goods or they would not be per-
mitted to send them through the chan
nels Of interstate commerce.
The question was raised as to the
status of the goods now on the shelves
Of the wholesale and retail merchants
Of the country. The secretary said
it was manifestly impossible for the
government to inspect them. The
owners or holders Of the goods, he
suggested, would have to take their
chances on selling them. One thing
was certain: They could not be
shipped from one state to another.

Fight Against RevoIutlonists.

ST. Petersburg a protracted
session OF the cabinet Friday evening
the conclusion was reached that, In
view of the existing conditions, any
relaxation in the rigor OF the govern

question, and that it is necessary to
continue the battle against the revolu-
tionary forces with all the means at
command II also was decided that
the elections for members of parlia-
ment should be held on the same date
throughout the empire, instead of over
a period of several weeks, as was the
case in the former elections, in order
to prevent the opponents of the gov
eminent concentrating their efforts in
various districts in succession.
All the ministers were instructed to
prepare and have ready for submission
not later than Sept IA the projects of
necessary legislation which will be
divided into two categories-the first,
those which are urgent and should be
enacted Immediately in the form of
temporary laws or administrative
edicts, and the second, such as will
require to be polished by the cabinet
