CONFIRMED PROOF.

Residents Of Marshalltown Cannot
Doubt What Has Been Twice
Proved.
In gratitude for complete relief from
aches and pains Of bad backs - from
distressing kidney ills-thousands have
publicly recommended Doan's Kidney
Pills. Residents of Marsralltown who
so testified years ago, now say their
cures were permanent. This testimony
doub1y proves the worth Of Doan's
Kidney Pills to Marshalltown kidney
sufferers.
Mrs. "A. s. Reisinger, of 712 West
Nevada street Mhrshalltown, Iowa,
says: .sThe success which had accom-
panied the use Of Doan's Kidney pills
in our family prompted me to give a
statement in 1898 recommending them.
I still have the same high regard Tor
them and am pleased at this time to
renew what formerly said. I used
them myself with great success and
my daughter who had suffered greatly
from pains in her back and headache,
was quickly relieved and cured of that
trouble. have great faith in Doan's
Kidney Pills and have often recon-
mended them to persons suffering from
kidney trouble"

 THIRD TRIAL. Begins to Seem More Than

A Belief Last Night That the Jury Was HOpelessIy Divided.

New York, Jan. 31.-After waiting nearly twelve hours for the jury in the Thaw case to report. Justice Bowling. shortly after II o'clock tonight. order ed the doors of the jury room locked for the night, and adjourned court un- til 10: 30 tomorrow, when he will hear any report they have to make
 Rumors persisted throughout the evening that the jurors were hopeless ly divided. eight to four. Littletori of the defense, expressed the belief that a majority of the jury favor a verdict of not guilty on the grounds of insan- ity.
 When Littleton left for home he was still hopeful that a decision would eventually be reached. Jerome said: Nobody can tell what the jury will do. so what is the use of speculating2"
 Thaw retired disconsoIately to his cell in the Tembs. He expressed a fear that third trial would be ncces- sary. This is the general opinion held by the court attaches. The attorneys are deeply disappointed by the trend of affairs, as everyone hoped that some definite conclusion might this time be reached.
 Jerome would not discuss the possi- hility of third trial. but he said that if there were one. it might be in some other jurisdiction in the state than New York cOunt.

IHE AMERICAN FLEET
 IN MAGELLAN SIRAiI
The Squadron Came to Anchor Last
 Night Near the Eastern Entrance.

Punta Arenas, Jan. 31.-The Amer ican fleet of sixteen battleships which entered the Strait of Magellan at two o'clock this afternoon tonight is at an chor in a bay twenty miles to the west ward of Dungeness Point, where the strait proper begins The fleet was off Dungeness Point, but it appeared scat tered on account of the heavy fog which made the weather very thick at the entrance of the strait. They as sembled again however, and entered the stIait passing Dungeness Point at o'clock proceeding in single file. II is thought that Admiral Evans decided to anchor the fleet for the night rather than take any risk in navigating the first and second narrows between the bay and Punta Arenas. The Chilean government tender Canez carrying To- cal government officials and others who are here to greet the Americans will meet the fleet off Magdalena Is land. Several private steamers are preparing to carry eXcursiGnists out to meet the battleships. There is much excitement among the inhabitants of the little city. the most southerly on the globe. The British cruiser SapphO. has arrived and will remain during the stay of the fleet.
