BLOCKADEU.

Every Household in Waxahacllie
! Should Know How to Resist 1t.
The back aches because the kid
neys are blockaded.
Help the kidneys with their work.
The back will ache no more.
Lots of proof that Doan's Kidney
Pills do this.
Mrs. M. Bailey, living five and one
half miles south Of Kaufman, Texas,
says: my husband has had no oc-
casion to use kidney remedy in
over two years, as the cure effected
| by Doan's Kidney Pills In his case
has remained permanent. For three
or four years he had been annoyed
| by distressing backache, the pain
| extending from the small of his back
to hip shoulder. Tho least cold he
contracted would SETTLE in his kid
neys and at such times the action of
the secretions would be very fire.
quent Hearing of Doan's Kidney
Pills, he procured a supply. After
taking the contents of two boxes, the
backache left him and the kidney
secretions became regular in action.
Doan's Kidney Pills are certainly an
excellent remedy and should have a
permanent place in every house
hold.p

Night Clothes.

Night Clothes.
A residence belonging to Mrs w
NJ Crumley and occupied by Whit
Williams and family on West Crock
EFT street, at Ennis, caught fire on
Thursday night about l O'Clock and
was almost totally destroyed. Mr..
Williams was working in the Hous-
ton and Texas Central yards and his
wife and children awoke just in time
to escape in their night clothes.
Neighbors succeeded in saving few
pieces of furniture from the burning
building.
The house was valued at 5000 and
insured for $500. The furniture loss
is about $500, with $500 insurance.
1t is thought the building caught
from the kitchen flue, as the fire
started between the ceiling and the
roof.

AUTO ENGINE GUIDES BALLOON
Daring Areonaut Will Make Trial
Ascension Astride Machine.

Ascension Astride Machine.
New York, July 4.-Sitting astride
an auto engine that will be suspend
ed from giant balloon and will
spout sparks in dangerous proximi-
ty to the great gas bag, DR.. julius
P. Thomas, aeronaut, automobilist,
inventor and physician, expects to
make an ascension at Astoria and
sail down over the city to Battery
Park.
His new balloon, the famous
Pommern, winner of the Gordon
Bennett race, will be stripped of the
usual basket and DR.. Thomas will
substitute the 40-horse power en-
CINE of his automobile.
When asked about the danger
that the balloon might explode from
the engine, DR.. Thomas said; "Oh,
I'll trust to luck
DR.. Thomas declared that he has
solved the problem of a successful
dirigible airship.
Its Just as Easy"
Its all very easy now he said.
II have new tangled steering equip
ment and driving apparatus with
which l can have perfect control of
my balloon under all conditions. My
steering gear will permit me to di-
rect the course of my balloon at will
and the big gasoline engine will fur
nish power enough to drive it at the
rate of 40 miles an hour in almost
any wind.
In my trip I will remove the
basket for the accommodation of the
aeronaut and substitute the engine
of my automobile, which / will sus-
pend from the gas bag by steel rope
Il will then take my place as
tride the engine, which will be fitted
with propellers, and make the as
cent, l do not care to divulge the ma
ture of the steering apparatus yet,
but many experiments on a small
scale have proved that it is success
full.
Wind Not a Factor.
AT rapid rate, no matter which
way the wind is blowing, l will start
! from Astoria down over Manhattan,
and will alight at the Battery. A
sort of saddle will be made for the
engine, SO that the heat will not be
a discomfort, and the balloon will
be operated in every particular from
my seat.
THE great danger will be from
an explosion of the bag caused by
the sparks and heat Of the engine,
but l will trust to luck in that OF
| course l shall go alone. l am conf
dent that l have solved the problem
of controlling dirigible airship and
driving it against the wind.
The trouble with cigar-shaped
balloons is that they must be kept
directly in the eye of the wind. If
the breeze catches them on one side
they become unmanageable. My
round balloon will present a uni
form surface to the wind, so that
difficulty is overcome
II will be able to sail anywhere
for hours, and with this type of
dirigible balloon an aeronaut would
be able to 90 over any fort of the
enemy, whether the wind is with or
against him." II

The question OF the state champion

TESTS, which has been hanging fire
since the Moline-Rockford game, was
finally settled yesterday afternoon,
when the Rockford warriors slid down
the rough plank of defeat in a game
with the Urbana high school at Rock
ford, H. The Urbana boys piled up a
score of % to II on their opponents
and at no time gave them a single
chance to win The Rockford eleven
| had made plans for mopstrous cele
bration following this last game of the
season so confident were they that
| they would treat the Urbana eleven
| to defeat. The only excuse that Rock
| ford has for losing the game was that
they were out of form and were guilty
of frequent fumbling of the pigskin
The Urbana high school backs weigh
ON an average about 160 pounds, and
| the Rockford line could not stop their
well directed plunges. The Urbana
| eleven, which now has an undisputed
claim on the state championship for

| by Ralph MacManus of this city, who
| led the local high school to victory
during his time in the school. Re
Gently MacManus received a letter
from Ray Stephens, the left halfback
of the Urbana team, stating, that the
team was using number of the plays
outlined by MacManus.a The Urbana
team has been scored on only
twice this season, and has never lost
a game. -f.sf

changing from side to side. Toward
