A GOOD REASON.
Mt. Sterling People Can Tell You
Why 1t Is So.

Doan's Kidney Pills cure the
cause of disease, and that is why
the cures are always lasting. This
remedy strengthens and tones up
the kidneys, helping them to drive
out of the body the liquid poisons
that cause backache, headache and
distressing kidney and urinary
complaints. Mt. Sterling people
testify to permanent cures.
Mrs. H. j. Porter, living at "a
Richmond Ave. Mt. Sterling, Ky &,
says: Il know that Doan's Kid
ney Pills can cure kidney trouble
as my husband used them for four
years and they entirely cured him.
He had suffered from an aggra-
waited case of backache and an ach-
ing through his limbs caused him
misery. Doan's Kidney Pills were
recommended to him. He pre-
cured a box at f. G. Duerson's
drug store, and they benefited him
so much that he continued taking
them until cured. / have known
of other people who have used
Doan's Kidney Pills and can rec
ommend them as a valuable kidney
remedy"

CONvlCTS PARDONED.
Nine Are Crippled or Diseased
and -Four Are Blind.

Ten convicts in the Frankfort
penitentiary were pardOned last
Wednesday afternoon by Acting
Governor w. H. Cox. They are
members of what the guards at the
prison call "Cox's Army" with
one exception, George West, who
has been aprisOner for twenty-five
years without mark against him.
Nine of the prisoners pardoned
are crippled or diseased and four
are blind. This is the largest
number of convicts pardOned at
one time in the last thirty years,
or since Governor Blackburn
turned loose one hundred and fifty
at one time.

BACON MUST PAY.
Court of Appeals Holds That
$23,992.69, With interest,
Must Be Returned To
the Treasury.

A decision of the Court of APP
peals on last day of its June term.
was handed down in the case of
the Commonwealth VS.. Henry
Bacon. In 1902 Bacon was
awarded the contract for second
class" printing, which included all
blank books that are furnished to
the State and the counties.
George Fetter, of Louisville,
had the contract for the first
class" printing, which included
printing and binding the acts of
the Legislature, all the annual re-
ports of the different departments,
etc.
A controversy arose between
Bacon and Fetter as to which was
entitled to certain class of print
ing. The State Printing Commits
sioncrs decided that Bacon was en-
titled to it. Bacon charged the
State $4,000 for the work, but
the commission allowed him but
$40, 900 on his claim and referred
the bill to the Attorney General,
who approved it all but one item,
involving $3.50.
The opinion of the Court of APP
peals, which was written by Judge
Lassing, says Bacon was only en-
titled to $4,000 for the books, and
gives judgment against him, in
favor of the State, for $23, 1892. 50,
with interest from August, 1902.
The trouble does not arise from
the fact that Bacon did not exc
cute the order according to it's
terms; it arises from the fact that
after the work had been done ac-
cording to the order, Bacon i'm
properly obtained from the State
money to which he was not emit
tied. The sureties did not under
take that they would be response
BILE for any money collected by
Bacon from the State above what
he was entitled to receive. -.
The commissioners were imposed
upon and deceived by Bacon, and
the legislative committee that sub
sequently investigated the transac-
ton and reported that Bacon had
received no more than he was en-
titled to, was evidently unac-
quainted with the technical terms
of the printers trade, and were
likewise deceived, or else their in
vestigatiOn was not thorough
enough to enable them to learn
the truth"

WOMEN
BEGIN CAMPAIGN FOR CHEAPER
MEATS.
Dealers Find Themselves Up
Against a Stiff Proposition
in Brooklyn and Receive
an UItimatum.

Six hundred women held mass
meeting in Brownsville, Brooklyn,
Monday night and declared their
intention to fight against the in
creased prices of meat and fowl.
They also paraded, and several
meat stores were stoned.
About one hundred and fifty
women marched through h e
streets, stopping at butcher shops,
calling the proprietors to the door
and telling them they must lower
their prices at once. The retail
dealers protested that they were
not responsible, that it was the
wholesalers who had forced the
price of meats up.
The dealers were told by the
women that the condition of affairs
brought about by the avarice
of the big meat men would no
longer be cOuntenanced, and if
the dealers wished to act with the
people, they would close up their
shops at once and refuse to buy
meats at the exhorbitant prices
they were made to pay. Thus it
was argued, would the packers be
brought to subsection.

Expenses Cut at latOnla.

to the effect that whenever vacancy

lying sections of the great cities, fail
ing TO make deliveries at times
through fear or WEAKNESS. The OBJ
ject OF the order is to bring about the
gradual discontinuance of the serv-
ices of these juvena.e messengers.
Special delivery messengers have
been employed since 1885 and at pres
ent there are 2,505 engaged at S19
postoflces. At 344 offices substitute
clerks and carriers do the work.
In New York substitute carriers
have delivered all special delivery
matter for number of years and in
Boston only thirty-seven boys are en-
ployed, substitute carriers being used
wholly at the main Office and at the
larger stations. The postmaster at
Baltimore has reduced the force of
boys gradually during the last three
years and given over the work to the
substitutes, the boys now numbering
only nine. In Brooklyn twenty of the
messengers are substitute carriers
and forty-six are boys. Certain of the
large cities, however, continue using
boys exclusively. Chicago has 337
boys, Philadelphia 144 and Pittsburg

along the Union Pacific that 1t was
entirely possible for the extra oper-
ator to be provided with the extra ac-

by Mr.. billiard. E. l.. Stump, general
chairman of the Union Pacific teleg-
raphers, also stated that accommoda-
tions could be furnished for the nec-
essary additional operator at all these
stations.
F. A. Delano of the Wabash rail-
road put the inability of the Wabash
to comply with the law purely on
financial grounds. Lucien Cooke of

I'VE expect to comply with this law,
but we ask time to adjust ourselves
to Its provisions on account of the
unprecedented conditions, financial
and otherwise, which have arisen
