SELF
Mrs. Isaac Shiffer, of 1417 Fifth ave-
nue., Rock Island, H., says my hus-
band was troubled for two years with
kidney complaint before he found any
thing to help him. The worst syfhp-
tons he endured were severe pains in
the region of his kidneys and across
| his back, and frequent action OF the
kidneys which he could not control.
He was unable to stoop or lift any
thing and he tried many remedies
without obtaining relief. He read OF
Doan's Kidney Pills in the paper and
he decided to try them, procured a
box at the Harper House pharmacy
and after using them short time the
pains and other symptoms left him.

SPIRIT PRIZE TEST,
Physician Will Seek $1,000 o.

HAS TWO GIRL MEDIUMS.
Believes He Can Fulfill Requirements

Remarkable Powers-One Who Never

of Contest With Young Women of
Remarkable Powers-One Who Never
Saw Greenwich Described Fire There.
If two young women patients of DR..
A. ]. Fox of New York are the medi-
ums he says they are, it is time fer
the Metropolitan Psychical society OF
New York to begin counting out the
S.. COO it has offered to one who could
tell the number of oranges spilled on
table behind him or her. The doctor
has been treating patients for hypnotic
suggestion for the past four years, and
so much success has lie had in making
Miss Emma Monroe and Miss Marga-
ret Marx do the mentally superior
mall that he is convinced 1t will be a
shame to take the money.
The test is expected to prove wheth-
er there is such a thing as communica-
ton with the spirit weird. Here it Is,
as announced by the officers of the
Metropolitan Psychical society:
When a medium announces that spirit
| IS in the room that can see We Will noise
| lessly spill few oranges upon a table
behind the medium so that she cannot
see them We will also keep our own
| eyes in another direction, SO that we do
not see them, thus eliminating the ques-
| ton of telepathy. But the spirit. who is
| in the room and sees the oranges, can
| communicate the number to the medium.
| If the spirit does this often enough II
| render coincidence improbable, the me-
! dunn will be presented with the money.
That Dr. Fox is firmly convinced CT
the powers of these young women is
| apparent to any one who talks with
him. Eorsseme time prior to four years
ago he was junior physician at the
Manhattan State Hospital For the In
sane, and he told a reporter for The
New York World the other day that
it was there he first became interested
in what is commonly known as spiritu
alism.

Pans and plates were flying wildly,
Walls were spattered with their contents,
While the boss had taken refuge
In corner, with table
Upturned there to shield and hide him.

Fast around the room and lodging,
But at every throw was getting

Minnie Harlan was not slouchy.
Into him she threw it swiftly,
Like the hot soup from the ladle.
In the choicest chophouse language
Minnie then addressed the piker-
Said he was chump and welsher,
Also cheap screw, phony, moocher
Called him two spot, bloke and wuzzer,
Said he was zap from Yapville
And skate from down the river -

One day Minnie Harlan saw them
Sauntering along together,
And the air was fairly reeking
With the sickness of love talk.
Minnie caught on very quickly,
Saw which way the wind was blowing,
But refrained from taking action.

Then outside the door he ambled.

It is best that he be nameless.

Thus equipped to make conquest,
He threw googoo eyes at Minnie
Threw them hard and threw them often
Until finally she wilted.
Then he took her, unresisting,
In his arms and Rugged and kissed he-.
He was hers and she was his'n
For week or ten days, maybe,
Until he had met another
Out upon the public highway
Met gazelle with a light step

indicted for various crimes and mis-
demeaonors. Floyd White was in

white man with a large paving
brick, and inflicted dangerous and
ugly wound on his head.
Robert Smith hit another negro
with an AK, and was indicted for
same.

status or pass upon his orthodoxy
only TO dispel and contradict the no.
tion that he was IN infidel. Whatev-
er else he may have been certainly
he was not this. He was not am or
thodox christian according TO the
modern meaning of orthodoxy.
Candor compels this admission, but
who will dare to pronounce Judgment
upon the views of a conscientious be-
iiever in God and the Bible, because
his views do not entirely coincide
with their own? This we can refrain
from doing without necessarily ap-
proving the things we eanont COM
mend.
DR.. Cooley seems to had some pre-
monition that his end was near. A
few weeks ago he remarked TO the
writer thai. he was convinced that his
time was near ut hand. He said lat
the shadows were gathering about
him and falling across his path i'm
iiont of him, and added that he was
mot ut all afraid to take the long
journey" Evidently, however, the
end came sooner than he thought,
and in an unexpected manner. His
last evening on earth seems TO have
been one of special enjoyment. His
family noticed his cheerfulness. He
was in the office of the writer fewu
hours before his death, and seemed
specially joyial and we'll. Even a
minute or two before the Reaper
struck him down there Twas apparent
to those who were in conversation
with him no sign of the nearness of
the awful moment. The Messenger
stole upon him with feet so deeply
muffed and tread 50 silent and form
so shadowy and impersonal as 10 be
inaudible and invisible, and with
one quick swish OF his keen blade
clipped the slender thread which
bound him TO the things of time, and
his spirit took its flight TO God who
gave il.

Revival Meeting
AT Cedar Bluff
Cedar Blur. Va. March "a

tcuhi Blull, Va, March "a.
The revival at the Methodist
church continues with increasing In
terest. Christian people have been
greatly revived and blessed, and have
received new impetus for tho Mas
ter's work. Up To this time
there has been about thiIty-fvc or
forty conversions, many OF whom arc
young men and women. Rev. T.. f..
Addlngton ls doing the preaching
and large congregations attend each
service. Rev. j. II. King, the pastor.
together with his wife and many
christian people, are bulsly at work
I'm the congregations, and In the
homes OF the people earnestly entrent-
ing them 10 be saved. May the
good work continue.
Quite pathetic and solemn incl
dent was the death OF Mrs. Alex Hail
on last Sunday morning. The end
came at her home within n few rods
OF the church while Rev. Mr.. Ad-
dington was In the midst OF his SER
mon, and the large audience was
visibly affected, every one realizing
that n good woman and kind neigh
bor was passing from our midst. To
the sorrowing husband and childre
we extend heartfelt sympathy.
A number of Old Confederate
Veterans, and widows of deceased
Veterans, met here, at the home OF
Mr.. 4. A. Repass, ST., on last satur-
day TO execute their vouchers before
Miss Helen, his daughter, who is
Notary Public at this place. Father
time is leaving his marks upon their
faces, and their steps arc haltlng, but
no hand shake lis heartier than
theirs, and no grasp more cordial and
true, and AZ they linger on the shores
OF time, they love TO meet and greet
each other and talk OF the stirring
scenes through which they were call
ed TO pass In the long ago.
Some excitement prevailed in our
community on last Sunday and Mon
day on account OF a mad dog, which
seemed bent on biting every other
dog that ne could reach, and then
eluding his persuers. Men followed
with rifles and shot guns, but not
until Monday evening was he over
taken at the school house OF Mr.. T.
A. Repass, one and half miles from
town where, after giving the pupils
a first class scare he was quickly dis
patched and cremated by number
OF the good citizens OF that locality.
1t is now up TO the owners Of the
dogs bitten, TO either Kill or confine
them until the danger is passed. Is
it not fact that there are too many
worthless ours in the country? Kill
them or.
