Confirmed Proof
Residents of Connectieut Cannot Doubt What Has Been
 Twice Proved.

In gratitude for complete relief from achesiand pains of bad backs--from dis dressing kidney ills-thousands have pub llcly recommended Doan's Kidney Pills People who so testified years ago, now say their cures were permanent. This testi- mony doubly proves the worth of Doan' Kidney Pills to kidney sufferers.
 Mrs. winifred Jenkins of 4s Fifth St. Ansonia, Conn.,, says;
 "I am willing to substantiate the former statement l made recommending Deans Kidney Pills. Their use cured me of sharr cutting pains in the back and lameness of the limbs, dizzy spells which made everything black and dark about me, and general weakness due, I think, to debiliated and weakened condition of the kidneys. I have been asked by many people about Doan's Kidney Pills and have always assured them that for kidney trouble they cannot be equaled"

A Two-bodied Pig

Frank Hoyt of Rock Ridge Farm in Monterey, Mass. has lately preserved in alcohol, a double bodied pig which was recently born on his farm. It lived for only four hours. Neither of the two bodies is of quite normal size, but to- gether they are considerably larger than a normal pig would naturally be. They join at the shoulders and have but one head, although on that head there are four ears. There are eight legs but only one pair of eyes and one mouth, and the head is about one-third larger than nor nal size. .-Courier.

SIMPSON HAS TWO WIVES
One he Deserted in Newburg, N. Y. and the other Lives in Falls Village.

and the other Lives in Falls Village.
 Warren Simpson of Falls Village, aged about B years, is in the county jail at Litchfield, awaiting trial on charge of bigamy. It is alleged that in Feb ruary of last year he married Miss Liz zie Griswold of Falls Village while he had wife and four children living in Newburg, N. I. Simpson does not deny that he married the Newburgh woman but claimed that he had been informed were placed in home. It is also said that he claimed to have personal know ledge of the fact that wife number one was dead as he was at her bedside when she died. The fact remains, however that she is still alive and is residing with her father, a Newburgh real es- tate agent. and supporting herself by working in factory. The children are in home, as stated by Simpson.
 Wife number one was formerly Miss Anna l.. Roe and was married to Simp- son in 1900. He deserted her shortly before coming to Falls Village which was in the fall of 1906 He boarded with the Griswold family and there became acquainted with the daughter. Wife number two has one child. Simp- son obtained employment in the Borden milk station, near Lime Rock, soon after coming to Falls Village but had been out of work for several weeks pre- ceding his arrest.
 The investigation into his matrimonial ventures resulted from a statement made by & lady who happened to know that he was previously married and that to one was alive and we'll in August of last year. Wife number two heard this rumor, laid the matter before deputy Sheriff Hornbeck of Falls Village who, inside of six hours, obtained all the facts necessary to warrant Simpsons arrest.
 Simpson pleaded guilty when brought before Justice Miles Blodgett and will be tried in October. It is vaguely ru. mored that counter charges will be introduced in his defense.
 He was placed in Q home in Boston when child and was finally adopted by family living near Newburgh, where he married wife number one. He joined the army from which he was honorably discharged. He then drifted about the country until coming to Falls Village.

STATE ROAD TO LITCHFIELD
Plan State Commissioner Macdonald
 has in Mind

has in Mind
 A plan which state highway commis. sioner Macdonald has in mind will be welcomed by the driving public. He desires to bring about the construction of state road from Falls Village to Litchfield and with that idea in mind, he has ordered a survey made from the Hollenbeck Club, short distance from Falls Village, to the foot of Roberts hill i'll the town of Cornwall. The road to be improved is in bad condition in 8 number of respects and the bsttering of it's condition will not only be welcomed by the travelling public but 1t will be of decided advantage to the territory through which it extends. The con- struction of state road from Falls Vll- lage to the "point of rocks'' on the road to Canaan, is also planned and with this completed, and about three mile, of state road constructed by North Canaan from that point to the village of Canaan a state road would extend between Ca naan and Litchfield. Inasmuch as all Connecticut is becoming awakened to the value of good roads, we believe this will become a reality i'm the not far dis tant future.

To Donate Land.

So DESTROYS for future success are
the ranch owners along the Summit
View line Of the Yakima Valley
Transportation that rather than put
the company to any disadvantage
they are trying to get together and
donate enough land on each side OF
the highway to enable the placing
Of the tracks in the center Of the road
At present the tracks run along one
side after it reaches the outskirts
Of the city. The road there IS much
narrower than in the city and the
commissioners granted the company
permission to build their line along
one side Of the road. The people
near whose property the line is all
ready built and those near the pro-
posed line is to run, say il will be
only short time before the eoun-
try will lie 50 thickly settled that the
road will have to be widened. They
will consult one another and II pos
donate a small strip Of land on each
side of the road 50 that the line may
be built in the center and not along
one side as now.
With this spirit Of fairness pre-
vailing, there seems to be no ques-
ton but that they will succeed. III
the strip of land is given, It Is be-
lieved the Transportation people viii
meet the ranchers half way. and viii
move the present track into the cen
ter of the road

With reference to the challenge is
sued by L. T. Buchholtz, the North
Yakima wrestler, DR.. Roller has the
following to say in a communication
to the Tacoma News.
Il shall pay no attention to any
challenges unless they are accompan-
led by substantial forfeit as guar
antee that everything is in good faith
Whenever the money is posted, l will
then state my views in the matter
as in the past. Any time enter into
match I will always do my level
best, of this you can rest assured.
II shall give no man public
match who has not good reputation
and who the public knows we'll en-
ough to be able to compete for the
title that am after. However, no
TIL r f E
man will be denied a match, for II

any time and we can settle our dis
without attracting the attention of
the public.
eff Buchholtz can convince me
that he is entitled to match with me
and the public is sufficiently interest
ed in him | will be only too willing
to accommodate him, but until that
time vii not say anything about his
challenge. First of all he must post
forfeit before | will even discuss
the matter with him. Yours cordial
iy, B. F. ROLLER"
If the North Yakima mat man
wishes to go any further in the mat
ter it will be necessary for him to post
a forfeit, and in this way he can
draw some kind of a definite answer
from Roller.
Buchholtz was in the city yester-
day and stated that he is more than
anxious to meet DR.. Roller. ''If he
is the best man. states Buchholtz,
Il will take my medicine I am not
afraid to meet any man on the coast
and think l can give Dr. Roller the
time of his life.
Buchholtz is ready to place any
forfeit that is necessary and is conf
dent he can at least give Roller an
interesting seance on the mat.

ANOTHER METHOD

Mayor-elect Henry H. Lombard
has received word of another meth
cd of solving the paving difficulty.
These methods seem to be plenty
and frequent This latest PROPOSE
ton is in letter from the Good
Roads Paving company of Kansas
City, Mo-, and is as follows:
The Honorable Mayor. North Yaki-
ma, Wash.
Dear Sir-our paving profess
solves the good roads problem. We
treat natures dirt road with out
liquid asphalt binder to a depth Of
six to ten inches, creating tough.
tenacious and gritty surface, which
will not stove your horses.
The United States government
awarded us the contract to rebuild
and treat the macadam artillery road
from Leavenworth to Fl. Leaven-
worth, Kansas, after inspecting our
three year old pavement here.
Our pavement costs much less.
lasts longer and is superior to other
paveu ants, being dustless. mudless,
noiseless and waterproof. 1t does
not crack, shrink. rot, crumble,
freeze, wash or become rutty under
heavy traffic, consequently requires
little maintenance. 1t is similar to
asphalt in appearance, but not flint
hard or slick. therefore not danger
Gus when wet for horses or automo-
biles.
There is no loss of material In re-
placing this pavement when excavat-
ing for pipe lines
We have paved city streets. park
boulevards and country roads. II
