Can't rest at night;
Enough to make any one give out"
Doan's Kidney Pills will give renew
ed life.
They will cure the backache;
Cure every kidney ill.
Here is Topeka proof that this is so:
Mrs Mary E. Taylor, of 432 East
Eighteenth street, says: IF anyone
doubts Mr.. Taylor's good opinion of
Doan's Kidney Pills which was given
for publication some six years ago, I
would advise their having a personal
interview with him. Previous to using
them he had been subject to attacks of
kidney trouble for years, in fact, ever
since he left the army. The pains
across the. small of his back were at
times so severe that he could scarcely
walk. could not sit still nor rest at
night. He doctored a great deal but
without obtaining more than tempor-
ary relief. Doan's Kidney Pills were
different. They promptly and thor
oughly relieved him of all his suffer-
ing. He has since had other attacks
brought on by colds and exposure but
Doan's Kidney Pills have always been
to him friend in need and have never
failed to give him prompt and effective
relief

pecially the long through trains, move
at snaiPs space through the gorge.
Ihe final grades, when established
as they are to remain, will have a
maximum toward Los Angeles of 0.4
per cent. This is the ttdownhil1'' end
or the run, of course. but even so,
this is a reduction in the few uphill
runs there are for trains which are
headed for Los Angeles.
On the other run, away from
Los Angeles, the grade, now heavy
and steep all the way through the
canyon, will be cut to 1 per cent, SO
much lower than it now is that en-
g1neers expect the efficiency of their
engines to be doubled in hauling
trains up the long grade
This means that an engine which
has, hitherto been able to haul 1.40O
tons of freight through the CANYON,
will in the future be able to draw g.
500 tons. Proportionately longer and
heavier passenger trains can, of
course, be handled through the Bend
and. with the proposed cutoff from
Fullerton to Richfield, may be
wh1rled into Los Angeles, hours ahead
of the schedules in force now
All the work being done on the big
curve as well as most of the other
grading and cutting and alterations
of trackage made by the Santa Fe is
done by the Sharp-Hauser Contract
ing company of Kansas City and Los
Angeles. This firm does little or no
other work but that supplied by the
Santa Fe, and ON this one contract
had more than $50 men employed at
one time. r. B. Ball of the Santa Fe
IS the field engineer actively in
charge of the work.

WON'T FIGHT CHINA.
Japan Does Not Consider Tatsu Incl.
dent a Cause of War.

Toxic, March 5-The japanese govern
ment while maintaining the f1rmest at
tftude concerning the seizure of the
steamship Tatsu by the Chinese at
Macaoon, February 7, entertains no
idea of resorting to force for the recov-
cry of the vessel.
Possibly ir the event that China de-
lays action Japan will appeal to Eng
land or America to act as intermediary
in the matter
In view Of the agitation against the
foreign office instituted by the opposi-
ton any indication of concession by
Japan to China would be extremely
dangerous to the present cabinet Off
cials. The foreign office has assured
the Associated Press correspondent that
japan never would declare war on ac-
count of such a minor incident, never
theless it is believed proper that Jap
anese war vessels should visit the
neighborhood of the imprisoned ship.
Attention is called to the fact that Brit
ish warships and torpedo boats recently
visited Canton, where a British vessel
was attacked and robbed by Chinese
pirates near that city.
Twenty members of the constitutional
party who had been expected to sup
port q resolution of censure of Foreign
Minister Hayashi today in the house
after a lengthy conference, during
which they received an explanation OF
his policies when leaving, expressed
their satisfaction with them and a de-
termination not to support the resolu-
tion. 1t is improbable now that the
resolution will be introduced.

ABAN|)SEN[NTJQ
At the Play Last Night.

Robert Edeson and a we'll balanced
company of capable players gave an
excellent entertainment at the Grand
last night through the medium of
new play, CLASSMATES" OF Mr.. Ede-
son, as an actor of the modern ro-
mantle school. not much need be said
He has reputation for high ability
and 1t is a most deserved one as was
evidenced by his work of last night.
In fact he made such an impression
in the famous jungle act, the third
one of the play, that the audience re-
sponded with such enthusiastic ap-
plause that Mr.. Edeson was forced to
appear before the curtain and make a
little speech, which he did in the most
unusual unhackneyed manner. ana
when a Topeka audience demands a
curtain speech-we1l something out of
the ordinary has happened. Mr.. Ede-
son was wrong when he said, Il see
you have the speech habit, for only
on rare occasions is an actor called
before the curtain here. AS for this
jungle scene, it was all that had been
claimed and a little bit more. 1t Is
Just about the finest and most realistic
piece of stage setting that has been
seen in Topeka in years. Mr.. Edeson's S
support was all that could be desired,
particularly good work being done by
Paulina Anthony. Marjorie Wood,
Frank j. Mcintyre and Wallace Ed
dinger.
Concerning the play, it is safe to say
people. But nevertheless it is a,
mighty good one, with a plot that is
out of the ordinary. If there is any
thing wrong with it, it may be in the
protracted meanness of the villain the
classmate. This character is one por-
traying the meanest man that ever
= lived In fact it is doubtful that such
a mean man ever did live. He even
continues to maintain his mean dis
position and disseminate his perfdy
after his life has been saved by his
classmate whom he has injured in the
eyes of the girl they both loved from
the beginning of their acquaintance
And Mr.. Eddinger, who played the part
of this mean man, is certainly entitled
to sympathy for having to depict such
an unenviable character. He did his
work well and just because it was so
well done it was all the more dis
agreeable.

Mrs. Pat Campbell.

No little satisfaction has been ex-
pressed by prominent theater goers Of
this city that Mrs. Patrick Campbell
has chosen 1.-THE Second Mrs Tan
queray,' for her appearance here on
March II. 1t is not only her greatest
role from a popular point of view,
but the greatest of Pinero's serious
dramas. 1.-THE Second Mrs Tan
queray'' has been played in this
country by Mrs. Kendall and Olga
Nethersoie but il snuuld be remem-
bered that Mrs. Campbell was the
creator of the title role and in Eu-
rope no one has ever been able to
threaten her supremacy in that
character. 1t was the play that Mrs.
Campbell chose for the opening night
on her present American tour 1t is
interesting to note that the leading
man of Mrs. Campbell's company,
Ben Webster, was also in the original
cast of 1.-THE Second Mrs. Tanqueray'
on the memorable night in London
in 1893 which brought fame alike to
Mrs. Campbell and Pinero.

Cleburne, Texas, March 5.-Between
Purcell and Galveston the Santa Fe

others are. or will be. distributed to
Cleburne, Brownwood, Somerville, Gal

gency arise.

Of service the cabs are planked to pre-

Galveston, Tex, March 5.-Texas rail-
road commission has been charged with
having driven the International &
Great Northern railroad into a receiv-

make improvements aggregating 3d.

sition with a record showing 80 wrecks
on this road in the past seven months.
OF these, 36 occurred on the main line
% on the Gulf division and Al on the
Fort Worth division. It was this de-

BIG RESERVOIR PLANNED
Over 100000 Acres of Arid Land in
Emery County May Be Soon
Reclaimed.

The reclaman of a large portion of
the arid land of Emery county is hoped
for by the residents of that section in
the near future. according to- III. T.
Haines. editor of the Castledale Prog
ress, and a delegate to the Dry Farm
ing congress.
Mr.. Haines says that this result will
be accomplished when what is known
as the Don c. Robbins PROJECT is COM
pleted
Mr.. Robbins and his associates, >"
said Mr. Haines, contemplate and
have planned the building of a gigan-
tic reservoir on Cottonwood creek. the
largest stream in the county. This
reservoir will hold when completed
10000 feet of water and will be q
marvel of engineering work. There
will be two walls 240 feet in height
between the canyon sides. AThese walls
will be of concrete and the distance be-
tween them at the top is to be LOO feet
and at the bottom 700 feet. 1t will
be the biggest reservoir in me state.
There are 200. 900 acres Of arid land
in Emery county" he continued,
(which could be brought under cuiti-
