What the Kidneys Do.
Their unceasing Work Keeps Us
Stronq and Healthy,

Strong and Healthy.
All the blood in the body passes
through the kidneys once every three
minutes. The kidneys filter the blood.
They work night and day. When
healthy they remove about 500 grains
of impure matter daily, when un.
healthy some part of this impure mat
ter is left in the blood. This brings
on many diseases and symptoms
pain in the back, headache, nervous.
ness, hot, dry skin, rheumatism. gout
gravel, disorders of the eyesight and
hearing, dizziness, irregular heart
debility, drowsiness, dropsy, deposits
in the urine, etc. But if you keep the
filters right you will have no trouble
with your kidneys.
John Taylor of 743 Fourteenth street
Rock Island, H., says: "For some
time l was troubled with dull pains
across the small of my back and across
my loins l felt that they were getting
gradually a little more severe knew
kidney trouble was the cause and
was anxious to stop the trouble before
1t became too serious. L was una0le
to do this, although l tried various
remedies and consulted my physician

Arriving at the spot where he had

to find no one there He realized, with
horror, that the woman must have

been thrown into the lake.
The gaunt old clerk groaned bitterly
as he threw himself upon the wall and
peered over into the water. He listen
ed for the cries and struggles of the
woman. Gradually his eyes solved
the situation. He saw the row of
spiles beyond the break in the sea
wall and the swishing pool inside.
Every incoming wave sent food Of
water between the sturdy posts and

Without a moments hesitation he
dropped into this seething prison, conf

found there. \ single glance had
shown him that he could crawl up

he knew that the water below was not
dangerously deep.
A minute later he was scrambling
out of this angry. icy water up through
the fissure, bearing in his long arms
the inert form OF Frances Gable. He
had found her half submerged in tho
pool, every sweep of the waves through
the sieyelike posts covering her com

men had stopped on the opposite side

might be in vain. If she came, all was
over.
He was not armed. He had thrown
his revolver away a week before. His
only desire now was to learn the ex-
tent of her duplicity. If she obeyed
the call of the letter then there could
be no doubt that she was coming at
the call of the lover. His hands twitch-
ed, and he shivered as if with Il dread
full chill His heart was shouting u
warning to her, but his head was urg-
ing her to come and have done with it
all.
He was there early-long before the
hour named in the decoy. His eyes
never left the sidewalk that ran past
his own home, but q short distance
from the Drive. They stared without
blinking across the dark border through
the circle of light from the arc lamp
and far into the shadows of blackneSs

stood. The lake had battered through

Accompanied by his wife and little
daughter the deceased spent several
weeks in this city last summer. The
visit proved especially pleasant not

revealed by the warm handshake and
hearty greeting as they crowded
around him the sincerity and depth OF
the welcome extended.
Several weeks ago letter from Mrs
Lane to relatives in Danville conveyed
the unpleasant news that Mr.. Lane
was i'll of typhoid fever. Tidings re-

PLATFORMS WILL
BE IN SMULL'S

Political party platforms which
have not appeared in Smull's Hand
book since the middle of Governor
Pennypscker administration, will be
restored in the forthcoming volume
which it is hoped to issue about next
April or May.
Governor Pennypacker pruned out
the platforms and some other matter
when he wished to reduce the cost Of
the annual edition, and much dissatis-
faction has always existed thereat.
Smull's for 1908 will have the State
party platforms for 1907, bat will not
print the national platforms of 1904
The national platforms of 1908 will be
printed the following year
No other material changes are con-
templated in the 1908 Smull's The
compilers are considering restoring
the digest of the election laws which
was also cut out by Governor Penny
packer and never restored. although
the election laws passed in 1906 have
been printed in the two most recent
volumes. 1t is proposed that this di-
gest be brought up to date and rein
serted, but nothing definite has been
given out.

NEW COATS FOR

Captain +. NJ. Harrington, who is
now in command of Company f, 18th
regiment, n. q. p, has just received
an order from the adjutant general to
make a requisition for a new dress
uniform coat, which is very dressy
looking affair and will rig the guards
men up as finely as United States
troops.
The new coat bears little resembl-
ance to that previously worn by the
guardsmen. 1t is of the United States
army pattern and as such has standing
collar and shoulder straps 1t has cord
around the edge of collar. shoulder
straps and sleeve. The order requires
the men to be measured by an expert
enced hand in order that good fit
may be secured.
The requisition is to be made as
soon as possible. AS the men are ex-
pected to attend drill Thursday even
ing next measurements for coats will
probably begin on that date.

ATTACKED By
H|CHWAYNEN

T.. J. LeDuc. the florist. was held
mp by four men near the clock works
on Monday night. Dodging the blow
that was aimed at his head he escaped
through about the liveliest piece Of
sprinting that he ever INDUCED IN.
MIR. LeDuc left his home for a trip
down tow about o'clock. As he APP
preached the Railroad street crossing
of the ID. l.. q W. he saw two men
standing on the railroad while anoth-
er stood a short distance North of the
crossing alongside the clock works.
There was nothing about the men
that impressed.Mr. LeDuc unfavorabIy
at the time. He continued his way
down the tracks, passing close to sew
eral box cars that stood on the siding
While walking along in the darkness
he distinguished the form of a man
hiding between the cars, who at the
same moment made vigorous lunge
toward him. The surprise was so com
plete that Mr.. LeDuc did not uotice

aimed blow at him with some in.
strument. He is sure, however, that,
whatever it was. it missed his head by
the narrowest possible margin.
In moment Mr.. LeDuo realized
that he was the victim of an attempt
ed hold up and he instinctively took
to his heels. In speaking Of the mat
ter yesterday he stated that he thinks
he made the best time ON record and
did not stop running until he reached
the d. L. & W depot.
He feels confident that il the blow
aimed at him from between the cars
had been landed, he would have been
completely knocked out, after which
the rest would have been easy for the
highwaymen.
The four men about the crossing
evidently belonged TO gang, who were
looking for some one to rob, AS Mr..
LeDuc came down the track they evid-
emily distributed themselves as above
describad The fellow between the cars
was relied upon to surprise the man
passing and to get the best of him, aft
eT which the other highwaymen would
help to finish the job. The two men
on the crossing stood in the electric
light and Mr. LeDuc recalls that their
appearance suggested tramps or in

SHOWING nADE
BY DAN CUPID

During the past year Prothonotary
Thomas G Vincent issued 1877 marri-
age licenses. This unmber is slightly
below the total in 1906, when l3l mar
riage licenses were issued The show
ing this year, however, is much better
than in 1905, when only ll6 couples
were licensed to wed and is above the
average
The truth of the matter is that as
long as humanity dwells upon the
earth. as long as the heart awakens to
the consciousness of love, as long as
civilization endures and marriage is
regarded as honorable in all" " men
and women will seek the blissful state
OF matrimony, and, though one year
the number of marriages may fall be-
low the average, the next year will be
pretty sure to reveal that Dan Cupid
is as busy as ever.
Apropos of the subject, Prothonotary
Vincent has made some interesting OBJ
servations during the past year. He
has noted that an unusually large
number OF very young people are get
ting married and that in very many
instances the brides are older than the
grooms.
During the past year Prothouotsry
Vincent issued marriage license to
probably the youngest couple that was
ever united in matrimony in this
county, the bride being only 10 years
and the groom Is years of age. In an
other instance the bride was 16 and
