Thsre is a Heap Of Solace in Being
Able to Depend Upon a Well
Earned Reputation.

For months Owo5so readers have
seen the constant expression of praise
for Doan's Kidney Pills, and read
about the great work they have done
in this locality. Not another remedy
ever produced such convincing proof
of merit.
Mrs. VIM. Fuller formerly living on
Rowley street, Owosso, Mich, says
"My back caused me a great deal of
suffering and at times the pains ex-
tended to the shoulders and were So
severe at times that l was unable to
rest. l suffered many accompanying
symptoms of kidney trouble and my
physicians told me that my condition
was very poor. l procured Doan's
Kidney Pills and the backache soon
left me and feel like different per-
son." From statement given in 1882
CONFIRMED PROOF
On Nov. 6, 1906, Mrs. Fuller con-
firmed above saying: | am glad to
again recommend Doan's Kidney Pills
as have never suffered from severe
attacks of kidney trouble since taking
them. Some SYMPTOMS have since but
they have been quickly banished by a
few doses of Doan's Kidney Pills.

LATEST FORECAST OF
CABINET MAKEUP
Likelihood That Portfolio VIII Go
to William Loeb JT.

Washington, Dec. 21.-The generally
accepted report that George W. Wick
ersham of New York is the choice of
Mr.. Taft for attorney general indicates
that Taft's cabinet slate is being made
up rapidly.
There seems to be a reasonable GER
tainty that Secretary Wilson will con-
tinue for year or more as the head of
the agricultural department; that Sec
rotary Garfield will retire from the
cabinet; that Judge Richard A. Balm
ger of Seattle, Wash, will be given a
place, probably that of secretary of the
interior; that Luke q. Wright will re-
tire and again take post in the diplo-
matte service; and that an Ohio man
of the treasury.
The name of Charles Nagel of Mis-
souri, has been discussed in connection
with the secretaryship of the depart
ment of commerce and labor.
Other names heard in connection
with that department are those of
William Loeb Jr.. secretary to Presi-
OSuI ICOOOSN0lIs Usual VIII
now has the portfolio, and George A.
Knight of California.
Probably the most difficult place re-
naming to.be filled is that of secretary
of the treasury. Among the Ohio men
mentioned are former Governor Myron
II. Herrick and Representative Burton
The rumor that there has been break
in the cordial relations that have exist
ed between Mr.. Burton and Mr.. Taft is
not generally credited by the friends of
both.
For secretary of war, Charles Ma
COON, now governor of Cuba, is heard
frequently. William Loeb Jr. is also
mentioned for secretary of the navy,
as is also Charles H. Thompson of New
York. There are some close friends of
Mr. Taft also who think that Secre-
tary Newberry will be retained.

EXPECT CONFESSION
OF NIGHT RIDER TODAY
Declaration Witness Is Ready to
Reveal Many Secrets.

Union City, Tenn, Dec. 21.-When
court meets today the state probably
will complete its case against the eight
alleged night riders now on trial for
the murder of Captain Quentin RAN
ken. The prosecution will put Frank
Fehringer on the stand. He was one
of the riders and has made a complete
confession. He says he was present
when the murder was committed and
knows the name of every man who
was present. After that the state will
merely fill in with corroborative testi-
mony.
The defense will depend solely upon
alibis and for that purpose has sum-
moned nearly hundred denizens Of
the Reelfoot lake district to testify as
to the whereabouts of the indicted men
on the night of Oct. 10.
The state thus far has identified
only three of the eight as present the
night of the murder, Garrett Johnson,
Ted Burton and Roy Ransom, it de-
ponds upon Fehringer to identify the
others. Fehringer probably will be on
the stand all day and he is expected to
reveal the oath, signs, passwords and
the CHASTITY ritual of the riders. IN
usual precautions are being taken to
make sure that there is no demonstra-
ton against him.

CONSULAR JOBS
Examiners Report Lack Of
Suitable Material.
MANY CANDIDATES FAIL

Board Expresses Hope That "There
Will Be Greater Number of Quail
fled Applicants to Enter the Very
Important Corps of Student Interpre-
tors and Consular Assistants From
Which, Upon Proof of Ability, Pro-
motion to Higher Grades Logically
Follows"
Washington, Dec. 21.-The board of
examiners has certified to the secre-
tary of state list of successful candi-
dates eligible to appointment in the
consular service, having passed the ex-
aminatiOns prescribed by the board.
OF the seventy-one candidates whC
were designated for the examination
last July, forty-fiVe presented them
selves, and only nineteen passed the
examination. In the November exam
ination, fifty-eight candidates were de-
signated, and of these thirty-seven
were examined out of which only
tWenty-three were successful.
Commenting upon the November ex-
animation, the board reports:
''This examination has again shown
a discouraging lack of suitable mater
ial for appointment to the student in
terpreter corps, and, in less degree,
the lack of good candidates for the
consular assistant corps. In the case
of both these branches of the service
it seems impossible to obtain the men
absolutely required without drawing
upon states already overrepresented in
the service.
ct is much to be hoped that here
after there will be a greater number OF
qualified applicants to enter the very
important corps of student interpreters
and consular assistants, from which,
upon proof of ability, promotion to the
higher grades of the service logically
follows"
Among those successful for the posi-
ton of consul were: p. e. Taylor,
Nebraska; WiIbert L. Bonney, Illinois;
Stuart ]. Fuller, Wisconsin,; Carl R.
LOOP Indiana; Charles E. Perry, Ne
braska; Edward d. Winslow, Illinois,
and Leo J. Keena, Michigan.
For student interpreterships and
consular assistants, the following were
successful: Ross ]. Hazeltine, Indi-
ana; Ripley Wilson, Illinois, and Roger
C.. Treadwell, Indiana.

few weeks to give Johnson points on
Burns style of fighting.
The men have been giving training
exhibitions twice a week and thous-

men, have watched them at their work.
In this way the men have been enabled
to gather lot of money, portion Of

chances.
The public wagering favors Burns
