WHY WOMEN SUFFER.

Women have so much to go through in life that it is a pity there Is so much needless suffering from backache, head ache, dizziness, languor and other com mon aches and ills of kidney complaint.
 Doan's Kidney Pills have brought new life and strength to thousands of women afflicted in this way.
 Women are prone to kidney trouble. They have so much indoor work to do, so much lifting, bending and stopping; they are bound by custom to tight heavy clothing. They get little outdoor exercise, and any little cold may bring on kid ney weakness.
 Don't worry if you feel tired and dragged out-if you have backache and bearing-down pain. headache, dizzy spells, faintness and lack ambition. Don't think ifs some trouble peculiar to the sex. Men suffer in the same way when they have kidney trouble.
 Ask yourself this question: Are my kidneys wel?" The condition of the kid ney secretions may give you an answer. If there is brick-dust sediment, or a stringy settling in the urine; if passages are too frequent and copious, or scanty and painful, it Is time to begin using

RURAL DELIVERY
 INCREASES RECEIPTS
SOME INTERESTING FIGURES ON THE GROWTH OF THE FREE RU- RAJ MAIL SERVICE IN THE UNITED STATES.

Washington, April 4.-(Special. .)-The of ficials of the postoffice department are quoting figures to disproce the claim quoting figures to disprove the claim responsible for the deficit in the postal revenues in recent years.
 In 1897. it is stated, when the ex- penditures on account of rural delivery was only s14,S4O, the postal deficit was $11, Al, ,779, while in 1907 the expenditure for rural delivery had increased to s26,- 755, ,524 and the deficit had decreased to $6, ,653,2S2.
 It is contended that the establishment of a rural delivery route brings with it a great influx of mail to the locality affected, which is gradually followed by an increase in the outgoing mall It is also said that since the inauguration of rural delivery there has been sav- ing of more than $12,00o,00o by the clos ing of small postoffices and the dis continuance of star routes.
 There is a great falling off in the num- Der of petitions for the establishment of new routes compared with few years ago. due principally to the fact that in the older states the territory available for
 
 rural delivery has been pretty well cov- cred.
 In the fast developing sections Of the west however, there is an Increased de- mand for rural service. For example. up to October 15 1902, there was only IS rural routes in operation in the territory of Oklahoma, while on March l, lsoS, the state of Oklahoma had So6 routes, with S4 petitions for service pending.
 The reports to the department or the business transacted on rural routes are interesting as showing the extent to wnlch the service is patronized. In three months during 1907 two routes from Holly wood Cal, handled 15l ,434 pieces or mall, one route from Depew, N. r., 75,756. anc one route from Westchester. Pa; 72oS4 the last named yielding cancellations amounting to ssO2@. Routes from Nash vile, Tenn, Bingham Canyon utan, and North Yakima, Wash, each carried between 6D,OO0 and 7O,000 pieces during the same period.

LONG LITIGATION
 IS NUT YET ENDED
Georgia Railroad Must Settle
 Some Mere Claims
HISTORY OF CASE
Suits Against Georgia Railroad Have Passed Through Several Admin istrations and Have Under
 gone Tests of Courts.

Atlanta, April 4.-(Speelal.) al.)-The com promise effected this week under which the Georgia railroad has agreed to pay the state ss0,0oO, the county of Richmond s1os,OoO and the city of Augusta S1450OO back taxes on it's holding of 15,o0O shares of Western of Alabama railway stock, covering the period of ten years, 1885 to 1904, inclusive, is not by any means the continuation or end of 8 litigation that has already lasted more than six years.
 True, this compromise terminates one feature of the litigation. but as For the whole of it only about the midway point has been reached.
 Under the Georgia laws a tax is im- posed upon stock in foreign corporations owned by citizens of this state. Way back in 1901 the discovery was made that the Georgia railroad and the Central of Georgia Railway company each owned 15,OOO shares of the capital stock of the Western of Alabama and Comptroller General Wright called on them to pay taxes on it. They denied the right of the state to levy these taxes, executions were issued and then the fight began. Joseph M. Terrell, afterwards governor, was attorney general at the tune. lie argued the case before Judge W. T. New man in the United States circuit court in Atlanta. The state lost The case went to the court of appeals at New Orleans. where the state again lost. At that time Boykin Wright of Augusta was attorney general. It was at the begin ming of the term of Judge John c. Hart as attorney general that he secured certorari carrying the case from the court of appeals to the United States su- preme court, where Georgia won, the stock being held to be taxable under the laws of this state.

WASHINGTON HAS
 NEGRO TROUBLES
DISTURBANCES ON STREET CARS HAS NOT STOPPED SINCE THE NOTABLE HEFLIN AFFAIR A FEW DAYS AGO.

Washington, April 4-(Special.) )-Disturb- ances between negroes and whites on Washington street cars have not stopped with the encounter between the negro Louis Lundy and Representative Hefin of Alabama, in which the negro was wounded.
 Yesterday a disturbance in many re- spects similar to the one which reused the ire of the southern representative took place upon an East Capitol street car near Fourth street northeast, and for a time threatened to assume serious pro- portions.
 Three negroes, John Collins, a lawyer, alias William Hill; Alexander Campbell and Annie Wells, were arrested and locked up on a charge of disorderly con- duct on a street car. Sergeant Ryan Of the Fifth precinct made the arrests Their cases were called in police court and continuance granted.
 On the car where the disturbance arose between the conductor, H. Whitney, ana the blacks was a trained nurse going to the bedside of a patient. At the outbreak of the quarrel the negroes became violent, abusive, vulgar and profane. The young woman found herself in the midst of a fighting lot of negroes, who cursed vio- lently in asserting their rights and street car privileges. The conductor, for the safety of the passengers, stopped the car and called for the police. Sergeant Ryan answered his call. He was soon sur rounded by the three negroes from the car and many others gathered, uttering threats against the conductor and the po- liceman The sergeant summoned help, and with the aid of Policemen Totten and Merrill succeeded in placing the three dsturbers under arrest.
 The young white woman, thoroughly frightened, fled from the car, and was forced to walk the rest of the distance between Fourth street and the home Of her patient. The negro lawyer was re- leased on the deposit of $10 collateral and the negress was allowed to go to her home after putting up s2.
