If Not. What Better Proof Gan
Paw Paw Residents Ask For?

This is the statement of a Paw
Paw citizen. The testimony of
a neighbor. You can readily in
vestigate it. The proof should
convince you.
James Marshall No. rurrl de.
livery mail carrier, says: ITO
speak of the merits Of Doan's
Kidney Pills in such terms of
praise as they deserve would be
to use expressions having the APP
pearance of extravaganza. When
| procured them at Martin &
Showerman's drug store had a
severe pain in the small of my
back across the loins. 1t was
always worse if | took cold or

times my sufferings can hardly
be described | noticed that the
kidney secretions were irregu-
lar, often highly colored, and at
times full Of acid. This had con
tinued about two years and used
every remedy which came to my
notice but got little benefit from
them. At last | decided to try
Doan's Kidney Pills. | trusted
the remedy would do me good
but | was not prepared for the
great benefit which it soon pro
duced. | could notice the good
effect after taking a few doses
and by the time l had taken
three fourths of box the pain
in my back had passed out of ex-
istence, the kidney secretions be-

years. Doan's kidney Pills are

must have seen that for yourself. With
the general management | have moth
ing to do. I'm only one of the min
ers. But there is problem of ventila-
ton here that ought to be solved, and
l have come simply to offer a solution
In the interest of the company that
pays my wages and still more In the
interest of the miners. Two of them
were killed by choke damp a little
while ago, four of them are now Ill
from the same cause, while all of them
are earning less than they should be-
cause the best and most easily ac-
cessible headings are closed"
SIS there any very serious difficulty
involved in the problem of ventilating
the mine?"
None whatever-at least no engi-
neering difficulty"
Just what do you meanT
81 prefer not to say"
perhaps / can guess" said Duncan.
81 have myself discovered a very seri-
Gus difficulty In the personal equation
Of Mr.. Davidson. He does not want to
ventilate the mine. He has his own
reasons, of course. That difficulty shall
no longer stand In the way. shall
eliminate ii at once. Go on, please,
and tell me OF the engineering prob
lem"
at scarcely amounts to a problem.
The mine lies only about seventy-five
feet below the surface. At it's extreme
extension the depth is considerably
less because of a surface depression
there. What l suggest is this: Dig a
shaft at the extreme end, thus making
a second opening, and pass air freely
through the mine from the one opening
to the other. The cost will be a mere
trihe."

CHAPTER XIV.

FROM that hour forth the Red
wood mine became a paying
property and, as Guilford Dun
u can liked to think, one which
was contributing its share to the pub
lie benefit and the welfare of the peo-
Pile
But Duncan's work there had only
begun Having solved the problem of
shipping coal as fast as the miners
could dig it, he gave his attention next
to the equally pressing problem of in
creasing output In the solution OF
that great help unexpectedly came
to him.
He was sitting late one night over
the books and correspondence when,
near midnight, miner sought speech
with him.
He babe the man enter and, without
looking up from the papers he was
studying, asked him to take a seat.
Still without taking his eyes from the
papers, he presently asked Of the man,
who had not accepted the invitation to
sit:
"Well, sir, what can do for your"
Nothing" answered the man. 81
came to serve you, not to ask service"
The voice seemed familiar to Dun
can-almOst startlingly familiar. He
instantly looked up and exclaimed:
"Why, it's Dick Templer
Eyes" answered the other you
and / quarreled very bitterly once.
The quarrel was very foolish one
on my side"
"And on mine too" responded Dun
can, grasping his former enemy's
hand. Let us forget it and be
friends"
with all my heart. 1t was in that
spirit that | came hither tonight.
want to render you a service"
Meanwhile Duncan had almost forced
the miner into a chair
Tell me-" he said, chow 1t is that
you
''That I'm miner? You think Of
NE as an educated engineer, Ell? Well,
that's long story and not at all so
sad a one as you might suppose. I'll
tell you all about it at another time
But it can wait while there are some
other things that should be said now
things that vitality affect the affairs

at is very good of you to come to me
with suggestions, and they will be
very welcome, | assure you. and very
helpful I've no doubt, for | have faith
In your skill as an engineer"
MY skill still remains TO be proved"
answered, the other, with the merest
touch of sadness in his utterance.
But, at any rate, I've had the very
best engineering education that the
schools can give. Never mind that
and never mind me. | didn't come
here to talk of myself. l want to talk
to you about this mine"
Good. That is what l am here for.

Man Charged With Cutting
Wife's Throat Arrested Yes

SAYS HE WAS INTOXICATED

If He Had Not Com

While lying across his bed asleep James
3. Wilcher. who on Monday afternoon cut
his wife's throat from ear to ear in the
rooms ne was renting from his mother, 1T
Rock Alley and Seventeenth Street, was
arrested yesterday morning at 10 o'clock
by Police Sergeant Kraft and Officer
Bryant lie was taken immediately to
the police station, where he spent yester-
day and last night awaiting a hearing
before Justice Crutchdeid
In an interview last night, Wilcher laid
ali the source OF his domestic unhappiness
al the door OF his mother-tn-law. but ne
was unable TO give any specific act OF
hers which could have led t. the trouble.
His manner and speech We're Indifferent.
though he said that he would give
thousand dollars II he had not commit q
the deed. He declared that ne could tell
"a lot more. but everything ne said was
vague and indefinite. lie denied that
he locked the door OF the bedroom In
which he committed the deed. and also
that he went downstairs ana kissed his
mother with the declared intention OF
going out and committing suicide. he al-
nitted that he was intoxicated-so much
so that he did not know what he was
doing.
He appears 70 be either unaware OF the
caormity OF his crime. or Indifferent as TO
the consequences. and the mere observer
could not tell what was the prep0nderat-
