Cincinnati, Oct l9.--"Don't ask the stamp man to lick your stamps. ' So run the signs posted in the retail stamp windows of the postofiice.
 It's this way" said clerk. "We just haven't got the time to lick all the stamps that people ask us to dampen for them. We are too busy For instance, some of the women all logged out in their fineries and wells buy stamps and then ask us to dc the licking. You see. some of the women are ewaring these new fan. gled wells tied in Gordian knot back of their heads, or under her ears oI some place, do not know exactly where, and they cant get the wells .undone to lick the stamps.

 Course not We have dampened sponges for the purpose.

| Half the nervousness, half the irri- tability that is so common in every day life, is really sickness, and in most cases a condition that accom- panies kidney trouble.
 l It is the work of the kidneys to keep the blood free from uric acid and other poisons, but when the kid neys are sick, and not doing their duty, the uric acid poisons permeates the body. and attacks body, brain and nerves. The irritation causes ner- vousness, irritability, headache, dizzy spells; makes you languid, unfit for work, and inclined to worry over trifies. Besides, there is nothing more annoying than bad back, and backache is the most common sign of kidney trouble. You feel lame and tired in the morning, suffer day and night with a dull aching in the back. and it hurts to stoop or bend or lift.
 Keep your temper cool, and get the Kidneys we'll. No person can feel cheerful and healthy if the kidneys are the least bit affected. A few doses of Doan's Kidney Pills, taken in the beginning, will set the kidneys light.

NAUGATUCK NUGGETS

The funeral of Thomas Kiernan was held yesterday from St Francis s church, where services were read by the Rev Father Fitzgerald. The in- terment was In St James's cemetery. The bearers were John J. and Dennis J. German, Frank Smith, John Dem ening, James Murray and John Mc- Carthy. The flower bearers were Thomas Smith, Thomas Kiernon, Harry Geiger and Edward Reilly. The funeral was one of the largest that has been held in Naugatuck in some time.
 A democratic rally will be held in the Gem opera house this evening at 7:15 sharp. The candidate for gov ernor, A. Heaton Robertson of New Haven, former Governor Thomas Waller and Christopher l.. Avery of Groton will be the speakers. The Naugatuck drum corps will furnish music for the short street parade and at the hall during the evening.
 The Starlights of this place and the All-Brooklyns of Waterbury play ed no score game yesterday. The showing the local team made was a source of much pleasure to the Nau- gatuck rooters. The Starlights were greatly outweighed by their oppon- ents but what they lacked in that they easily made up in speed.
 The republicans will hold rally in the Gem opera house tomorrow evening. The speakers of the even- ing will be Senator Frank B. Brande- gee of New London and the Hon John H. Light of Norwich. There will be a street parade before the rally and the Naugatuck band will furnish the music.
 The Naugatuck Valley conference of Congregational churches will meet with the Third church of Wa terbury tomorrow at 9:30 a. m. The delegates from the Congregational church of Naugatuck will be the Rev Sherrod Soule, Frank Warren, G. F. Bray and Mrs F. w. Hancock. | The Columbia football team went to Seymour yesterday and defeated the All-Seymours by a score of II to O. The game was good one to watch, although the Naugatuck eleven outplayed their opponents in all branches of the game.

NEWSPAPERS IN THE SOUTH.

Without intending to reflect upon their regulations for sobriety, we remark that about n year ago some of tho best business men and capital ists of Chattanooga" ascended Look out mountain and saw their city double" On no other hypothesis can their attempt to establish the Chattanooga Star be satisfactorily explained. About half hundred thousand dollars was expended In the effort to make the Star shine, but last week It's printing outfit and good will were sold and 1t gave up hopeless struggle.
 There were four daily newspapers In Richmond few years ago. Then there were two, two mergers having been found advisable. At present there are two afternoon papers In that city, but 1t Is twice the size rof Chattanooga, and one of its papers has only been in existence for a couple of years.
 In Atlanta two afternoon papers have been born, have lived and have died within the last seven years. Two or three afternoon papers have died in Savanna within 1b years, and there is not an important town in the south that is not newspaper ceme- tery. The newspaper mortality in Jackonsville up to 10 years ago was simply terrific, and we believe that the statistics are almost equally mel ancholy in Birmingham. As for morning papers, the form of insanity that causes business men otherwise normal to place money in them ap- pears to be on the decrease, though this may be attributed to the fact that, generally speaking, larger in itial investments are required for the morning experiment There are two successful morning newspapers in New Orleans, city of 100000 in habitants, but so far as we are in- formed, there is not another town south of Washington containing two morning newspapers conceded to be enjoying prosperiety in newspaper making. = Charleston News and Courier.

Continued treatment cures caseo of long standing.
 Doan's Kidney Pills are for the kidneys only, and contain no poison. ous nor habit-forming drugs. They relieve congestion and inflammation of the kidneys or bladder, heal and cure the kidney tissues, drive off dangerous uric poisons. dissolve and remove gravel, and rid the body of all watery waste.
 Thousands of cures prove the merit of Doan's Kidney Pills. Here is case at home.
 A WATERBURY CASE.
 R. R. Callender, of 90 Bishop St. Waterbury, Conn.,. says: T have much confidence in Doan's Kidney Pills as remedy for backache. In my own case they brought freedom from every symptom of kidney trouble and rid me of pains in the back and the trouble has not return. ed since I stopped using this remedy. I procured the pills at the H. W. Lake Drug Co.,, and 1t gives mo pleasure to endorse such a reliablo backache and kidney medicine"

Ing the intersection of North Church

and Miss Edsall separated from Mr..
Horne and proceeded to the corner OF
Church and Paschal streets, whers
they stopped and became engaged in
an animated conversation. Dr. Wat

excitement, taking hold of Miss Ed
