DOES YOUR BACK ACHE?

That troublesome pain in the small Of the back points straight to kidney sickness. Backache will not leave of its own accord. nor will sick Kidneys cure themselves. Every day of neg lect makes the cure 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 n 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.
 The best proof we can offer of the great merit of Doan's Kidney Pills Is testimony of residents of this city who have used the remedy.
 WATERBURY PROOF.
 James Dews, of s3 Hospital avenue, says:
 "Doan's Kidney Pills are fine rem edy. and can most highly recommend them. I suffered considerably from severe pains through my loins and ACTORS my kfyneys. more severe during changeable weather or when I caught

 PARIS, July 13.-AIfred Dreyrus has been completely acquitted of the charges on which he was condemned as . traitor, was dismissed from the army and imprisoned on Devils island. and regarding which France has been torn for years by the most bitter po- litical and racial agitation.
 His vindication Is twofold, the su- preme court first announcing its de- eisisn establishing the entire innocence of the accused man and the ministry later deciding to present an urgent bill in parliament restoring Dreyfus to the army with advanced rank and other wise making the unfortunate officer all possible reparation.

ger and blacKleg. became fugitive from justice; Colonel Henry. conspir ator, forger and traitor, committed sui eide in prison. and Colonel Du Paty du Clam and General Mercier displayed records equally dark.
 At one time the German emperor was brought prominently into the case and made statement in regard to 1t to the French government.
 Things looked dark for the cause of justice. when NJ. Zola. the novelist suddenly launched his public letter "I accuse" declaring Dreyfus wrong fully convicted and Esterhazy the criminal. ~
 France blazed with agitation.
 Zola was tried and condemned to one years Imprisonment and fined 3o.00C francs (s6000) for slander. He led tc England. but the Dreyfus cause was revived again.
 Alfred Dreyfus, the central figure in one of the most dramatic cases of mod. ern political history. was born in Al. sace of Jewish percentage in 1859. He entered the Ecole Polytechnique In 1878. and he was appointed captain of the Twenv-frst regiment of artillery in 1889. Graduating from the Stan 0fiicers' college the next year among the leading ten of his class, he was ap- pointed to the general staff, where he served until arrested on Oct. I5. 1894.
 The famous bordereau. which was the basis of the entire Dreyfus case, consisted of fragments of a document said to have been found in the over- coat pocket of the German military at- tache in Paris, Colonel Schwartzkop- pen, in October, 1894. When fitted to- gether they constituted a report touch ing some minor war and tactical plans. obviously written by a French spy. Owing to a similarity between the handwriting on the single page of the bordereau and that of Captain Drey- fus, and to the fact that be was the only Jew on the general stan. he was suspected of being the spy. He was secretly arrested. Hatred of Hebrews was so strong in the army that the fimsiest apparition of evidence against him was accepted His trial by court martial was conducted behind closed doors. and a verdict of guilty was rem dered on the strength. not of the bor- dereau, but of a dossier. which. in vio- lation of law. was submitted by Cen ersI Mercier and kept secret even from Dreyfus' counsel. The chief document of this dossler was afterward proved to be forged by Colonel Henry. The officers who sat in judgment on Drey- fus. psrsIyzed by the fear of giving the He to their superior officers and not understanding the illezality of the introduction of the dossieT. yielded to the pressure from high sources and condemned Dreyfus to life imprisOn- ment in fortress
 At Paris Dreyfus in full uniform was marched into a square of 5000 troops and degraded before his com rades by having his sword broken and his facfug cut away. At this DreyfHs shouted in loud voice:
 -vfve Ia France. You have degraded an innocent man swear I am inno- cent
 He would have spoken further. but q roll of drums overwhelmed his voice. while the p0PuIace without the square screamed Death to the traftor-

The palace of justice was crowded. Among those present were Mathew Dreyfus. brother of Alfred Dreyfus: Maitre Mornard. counsel for Captain Dreyfus: Joseph Reinach. the historian of the Dreyfus affair; Colonel Picquart. Mime. Zola and many others who have figured in various stages of the cele- brated case. Captain Dreyfus was not present. continuing his habitual secrecy by remaining secluded in the garret where he has hitherto been cut of from the outer world
 The Dreyfus case was far reaching h it's effect upon French affairs. It divided and wrecked the Busson min istry. caused a crisis in the MeIine min istry in 1sas and caused the Dupus cabinet to resign in 1899.

By this time t6e>whoIe of France was arayed for or against Dreyfus. and the utmost excitement prevailed in mil itary. political and social circles. But a reaction of feeling in favor of Drey- fus set in with the suicide of Colonel Henry. and on June 3. 1899. a fresh court martial of Dreyfus was ordered, and the prisoner was brought from Devils island to be retried.
 The second court martial of Dreyfus opened at Rennes. Fanoe. Aug. .. 1Saa. under the presidency of Colonel Jousust. Opposed to the prisoner were almost the whole French army and the machinery Of the government. Strong evidence was brought forth in favor of Dreyfus. and the case of the prosecu- ton was shown to be very weak.
 But after ( long and sensational trial Dreyfus was convicted of treason with e1tenHating circurnstances- and was sentenced 10 ten years iuprisoa- ment h a fortress. Later he obtained a full pardon from President Loubet and was set at liberty.
 The friends of the unfortunate esp tain were not conten.ed They kept hard at work hunting for fresh evi- dence h his behalf and finally got the case before tfr supreme court. with q result vbyh is now resogndinz throashoat al Fran.e.

 The end" wrote. Goodbye"
 And suddenly the black waves pass ed and the world sprang upon us out of the dark! It was a bright day. and the sky was blue. Alice grasped my arm till her fingers hurt. We turned to one another and saw-strangers!
 Alice has never told me what she expected to see and what she saw, and I have never told her; but think she expected to discover handsome, well- groomed young gentleman, and know that had thought of her as dark haired, dark-eyed, rosy-cheeked. pret- tily dressed girl of 20. She found . creature who looked like a tramp; a bent, unkempt, unshaven rufian, who might have been 40. I saw a fair haired. blue-eyed. white-f faced. travel- stained-child! For she whom had taken for the lady of my dreams was but tall schoolgirl of 16!
 We sat and stared at one another. Our lips trembled when we tried to speak. I think we should have hurt one another if we had spoken, but the woman's heart in her childish body saved everybody. She took my hand and wrote on 1t slowly.
 Friend! Kind friend!"
 And then 1 took her hands in mine and spoke. My voice was hoarse with thirst and weakness.
 God bless you, dear!" said. God bless you This is the sun and the sound. We are the loyal and loving friends that we have been-that we shall be always"
 Always" she said; and we rose and walked forth to find the world. hand in hand.
 It was Central park. and the people gave us food and drink; and in an hour we reached her home.
 That is the end of my story of the dark days that men lost. You know as we'll as 1 that the astronomers reckon that they were seven: and say that the darkness and deafness were due to our passing through an ether less space which stopped light, and, in some way which they cannot explain, deadened the sound vibrations of the air. Sometimes think that the days of darkness were not ip vain: and last night almost wished them back
 I was leaving Alice's house. and sLs saw me to the door as usual. We have always loved one another as a man and a child may love, and now she has ceased to be child, and does her hair up in a golden knob. I think her very beautiful.
 We lad just reached the door when suddenly the electric light went out. She gave a sharp cry. and in moment she was in my arms Then I lifted her face and wrote with my finger on her cheek:
 'I love you-love you-love youi"
 She did not speak. but pressed my hand upon her face to feel her smile the smile that lit my heart in the dark days
