WHY WOMEN SUFFER.

Women have so much to go through in life that 1t is pity there is so mueh needless suffering from backaehe 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 stoopingi 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 it's some trouble peculiar to the sex. Men suffer in the same way when they have kidney trouble.
 Ask yourself this question: Are my kidneys well?. The condition of the kid ney secretfons may give you an answer If there is a 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

CURED OF DRUNKENNESS
 WITH HOME TREATMENT
Says It Will Cure Any Man Who Will Take It Strictly in Accordance With Directions.

MT. Chas. B. James, Dear Sir:-I am through taking the treatment received from you some time ago, and I am glad to say that I am entirely cured of my craving or desire for Alcoholic stimu- 1ants.
 l was pretty hard case, too, for I had been drinking hard for years, and I was using from one to two quarts each day and night. I am glad to say that I now have no taste at all for it. l have a good appetite, sleep well at night. and improved greatly under the treatment. From my ex- perience with your treatment I am sat 1stied that it will cure any man who will take the remedy strictly in ac- cordance with your directions.
 Your remedy can be taken without a loss of time from your business or without discomfort of any kind. The baths at your Sanatorium make course of treatment at your Sanato- rum preferable in that respect, but as far as results are concerned I am sat- isfied from my experience that results could not have been better had l yis- ited the Sanatorium, which would have cost me just exactly ten times the cost of your home remedy, which was $12.50 for full course. I can honestly and truly recommend your treatment to those who, like myself, have fallen into the clutches of King Alcohol. My family joins me in sending best regards and many thanks for my improved condition. You can rest assured that l will personally recommend your treatment to such of my friends as think it will benefit.
 Yours truly,
 Braxton, Miss. J. E. CAVENAH

FARRELL KILLED IN MINE EXPLOSION ]. c. DaIrympIe Fatally Injured
 In No. 4 ACCUMULATION OF GAS Accident Occurred. Early In the After noon, But Was Not Discovered Until Last Night About
 2 O'Clock.

A gas explosion in No. mine of the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad com pany at Wylam, which occurred yester- day afternoon, presumably between l and ? o'clock, resulted in the death of Mine Boss E. D. Harrell and the fatal injury of Assistant Superintendent L c. Dal- rymple.
 The explosion was one of the most pe- culiar ever known around the mines. It occurred in distant part of the shaft. and although there were large number of men working elsewhere on the slope, no one had the least idea that fatal ac- cident had occurred. It was not discov- cred that there had been an explosion in the mines until last night at o'clock.
 It is supposed that the deceased mine boss and MT. Dalrymple went back into the mine for an inspection. and that the explosion occurred while they were look ing over the condition of the slope at that particular point. The two men were found in what is known as the escape way between mine No and mine No. D. When found Harrell was dead and Dal- rymple in fatally burned condition.
 When Harrell failed to show up at his home last night his family became un- easy, and Bob Payne, an emp1oye of the Tennessee company went out to look for him. MT. Payne, after looking else

MORE OPTIMISM
 IN THE IRON TRADE
PIG IRON MANUFACTURERS MEET IN CLEVELAND AND AGREE UPON A POLICY OF CONCiLIA- TON AND COOPERATION.

Cleveland, February S.-While no at tempt was made to form binding agree ment, the unanimous sentiment of pig iron manufacturers who met nere today was in favor of maintaining the basis of SIT at Mahoning and Shenango valley furnaces for No. foundry iron. The whole subject of pig iron prices in rela- ton to ore and finished material was discussed and there was a strong feel ing in favor of the policy of conciliation and cooperation inaugurated by the Gary movement at recent meetings held in New York city.
 This action of the pig iron producers following that of the representatives of iron ore interests promises to have q very beneficial effect upon the market, it is said. Those present at today's meet

while being disappointed that the pri- mary plan was agreed upon, has gone to work in earnest and plans to win.
 MT. Tomlinson stated that the Bryan club has gone to work to organize every county and beat in the state. As IS known, the names of the several demo- cratic candidates for the presidency will be placed on the state primary ticket to be voted on in the primary. In this way Alabama will instruct it's delegation. If Bryan gets the most votes the delega- tion will go to Denver instructed in his favor. It, therefore, behooves the Bryan men to vote on the date of the primary and the Bryan club has started the work of arousing enthusiasm. Governor Co., merf announces that he will stump the state for Bryan If the leaders consider such an action necessary
 The governor will be in the city today.

 The conference followed a period of price cutting, which threatened demoral- ization to the trade. As a result, of the two meetings of the ore men and pig iron manufacturers there is much more optimistic feeling prevailing in the iron and steel industries.

where. went down into the mine, and after searching for some time came upon the horrible sight of a dead and dying companion. He rendered the live man all the assistance possible, and then went for help.
 The two men were removed from tho death chamber and every attention pos sible was given to the still living assistant superintendent. The remains of Harrell were removed to the undertaking estab- lishment of Sam Foley at Pratt City
 An examination of the personal effects of the deceased man showed that his watch had stopped at 1:52. and it is supposed that the explosion occurred at that time.
 Both men were horribly burned, and as stated there is little hope for the man who was brought out of the mine barely alive. The explosion was undoubtedly due to the accumulation of gas, as the portion of the slope where the men were found has been worked out for some time, and for this reason it is not probable that dust would have accumulated there. The force of the explosion could not have been very great as the shaft at the point where the two men were picked up was not badly torn up. It is also believed that if the explosion had been very forceful one the men in other parts of the shaft would have felt it. AS matter of fact, however, they knew nothing of what had happened until late last night
 No. mine and the surrounding shafts have always been considered safe. The explosion yesterday was only the second in a number of years.
 Both victims of the explosion were men of families. Harrell is survived by a widow and four children He was about 30 years old. Dalrymple is of about mid dle age. is married and has three chil- dren The two men were esteemed em- ployes of the Tennessee company, and wre genrally respctd in the community in " vhio.h they lived
