IT'S YOUR KIDNEYS
Don't Mistake the Cause of Your Trou-
bles A Titusville Citizen Shows
How to Cure Them

Many people never suspect their
kidneys. If suffering from a lame,
weak or aching back they think that
it is only muscular weakness; when
urinary trouble sets in they think it
will soon correct itself. And so it is
with all the other symptoms of kid
ney disorders. That is just where
the danger lies. You must cure these
troubles or they may lead to diabetes
or bright's disease. The best remedy
to use is DOan's Kidney Pills. 1t
cures all ills which are caused by weak
or diseased kidneys. Titusville peo-
pie testify to permanent cures.
V. 7. Worley, living in Titusville,
Fla, says: "For sometime my back
had been giving me considerable
trouble. Every time / contracted a
cold it settled in my kidneys and my
back would become so lame that |
could scarcely get around. suffered
intensely when | stopped, and if at
tempted to lift anything, sharp
twinges would pass through my lOins.
My kidneys did not act in their nor
NAL manner, and the secretiOns were
very unnatural in appearance. |
finally procured Doan's Kidney Pills
and used them as directed. They
banished the lameness and soreness
in my back and corrected the action of
the kidney secretiOns. | am pleased
to recommend Doan's Kidney Pills
to other sufferers.

Tazewell Va, November 26-EVidence
OF the most sensational and damaging
character was introduced today in the
trial of Howard Little for the murder of
Mrs. Justis her daughter and four 9TH
ers of the family.
A son of the murdered woman was the
first witness today. He stated that he
had worked with Little when he was fore
man for the Ritter Lumber company and
that Little had frequently asked him how
much money his mother had 'by her.
He told him that she usually had n
large amount. Another witness stated
that Little said to him: "If l was that
old woman l would not keep my money
by me-" He added that 1t would be an
easy matter for some one to murder the
family, rob the house and burn the VIC
Tins.
Mary stacy. the woman who Little was
to clone with, was the next witness. She
stated that Little gave her $50 the day
ore the murder to buy clothes that
she might be ready to go for trip. and
told her they would go as soon as he could
get some money from a bank.
Several witnesses testified as to the
time of night the house was burned and
voices they had heard going in the direc-
tion of the fire.
Mary Lee, the woman who made her
home in the family of Little, was the
most important, witness of the day She
told of Littles relations with Mary Stacy,
and his troubles at home with his family.
She stated that on the night of the mur-
der a lamp WAS kept burning when Little
went out, and that he was absent all
night. She stated that she was awake

still burning. At o'clock in the morn
ing she arose to get breakfast and found
Little asleep. His coat was hanging near
him wet, as II It had been washed. A
lantern, not his own. was on table
near him. Little took the lantern out
after breakfast and began to file on it,,
and would not tell her why he did So.
She said he came into the room two
hours after breakfast and called for
bsndages to tie up his leg, stating that
he had cut his leg while cutting brush
that morning but she declared the
wound was dry. Little appeared very
restless after the incident, and frequent
/ ly would wake up in the night. and talk
with his wife for hours at a time. He
took the lantern UP to hollow several
miles from the house and hid 1t between
two logs

A score or more cf witnesses testified
that the lantern was in possession oi
George Meadows. a son-in-law of Mrs
Justis, before the murder.
A physician who removed the bullets
from the body of George Meadows testi-
fed that the bullets taken from the re-
volver of Little and the bullets taken
from the body of Meadows were of the
same weight and make.
| One of the witnesses testified that Lit
! tie had sent word to his wife not to
/ testify against him; that If she did again
she would give everything away and get
him into trouble. An attempt was made
/ by the commonwealth to get Little's wife

tered by counsel for defense and sus-
/ tanned by the court.

| ment was begun.

INSANITY PLEA IN
MURDER TRIAL

Little Rock, November 26.-Backing up
the theory that W. Y. Ellis was tenn
porarily insane when he killed N. p.
Willis last July and is subject to a
hereditary tendency toward mental un-
balance, relatives of the man on trial
for murder took the stand today and
unfolded a painful story of family af-
fiictions.
A hereditary strain of insanity ON the
mothers side of the family was told of
the defendant and mental weakness on
the fathers side.
Every line of evidence offered by the
defense converged toward the idea of
insanity, with the single exception of the
proof that Ellis held special police
mans commission in Pine Bluff, account
ing for his carrying a revolver. Witnesses
testified that Ellis acted unusually on the
night before the killing and on the MORN
ing of the tragedy. Others claimed that
his demeanor had changed from cheerful
to morose some months before the kill
ing, apparently from worry over private
matters Character witnesses swore TO
the previous good reputation of the man

BOUTELL SAYS CANNON
HAS CHANGE OF HEART

washington, November 26-(Special.)--
Speaker Cannon has promised to be good.
At least that is the strong inference
drawn from a visit to the White House
today by Representative Boutel of IL
linois. Mr. Boutell is one of the leaders
of the Cannon forces, and after seeing the
President he announced that "At the next
session of Congress there will be no more
able and faithful ally of the administra-
ton in all its legislative demands than
Joseph G. Cannon of Danville, ILL.,
Then Mr.. Boutell expatiated upon the
virtues of the speaker and delivered HIM
self of this 1T know some men living
today who when they remember that
they voted against Abraham Lincoln In
1864 would be willing to cut OF their
right hands If they could undo what they
did and whose words which they uttered
against Lincoln are hateful to them. The
same will yet be true as Of Speaker Can
non."
A group of insurgent congressman
strolled into the White House and the IL
1inois members remarks were repeated
to them They were greeted with peals of
laughter.

Corporation IaN VIII
Net About $25,OOO,OOO

Washing,ca, November 2s.-Secretary Of
the Treasury Macyeagh and Commits
sioner of Internal Revenue Cabell re-
ported to President Taft this afternoon
that the corporation tax regulations are
complete and ready for the printer
The latest estimates indicate that the
act will produce q net revenue approx
mating s2500O,0O0 annually. One hundred
and twenty-five thousand corporations are
likely to have to pay corporation taxes.
There many uncertainties about the
effect of the law In one of the far south
west states, for instance, 1t has been
found that not over 10 per cent of many
thousands of corporations whose official
existence was authorized have ever act
ually done business.
improper registration in many cases is
fully expected with such gigantic
scheme, but the series of penalties under

the law. will apply just the same as those
who fail to get the forms and regula-
tions.
The mailing of the forms and blanks
to every corporation listed in the various
districts is not specifically required by
corporations. Those not registered should
apply Immediately to the collectors. All
the returns are required to be in the
hands of the district collectors by March
l, then sent to the internal revenue bu-
reau here, where the tax will be assessed
and the taxpaying corporation notified by
June l, the tax to be paid by July l.
The government takes the position that
the tax, while 1t is for the calendar year
preceding the collection, really does not
date back, that 1t is an excise and not
an income tax. and that 1t is, in fact,
merely license to do business during the
year for which 1t is collected.

BANKER TESTIFIES
IN LAND CASES

Seattle, November 26-Humor was
inquiry this afternoon when Horace C.
Henry. the Seattle banker and railroad
builder. was placed on the stand by the
defense and naively admitted that he had
Joined the claimants without knowing
anything about the proposition and that
he had signed numerous affidavits with
out knowing what they contained.
II got SO in the habit of signing affi-
davits that l signed anything that Gun
ningham and Davis asked me to-" said
Mr. Henry.
Henry said that in 1903 Cunningham told
him that c. j. Smith and former Gov
ernor Moore of Washington were inter-
ested in the claims and asked If Henry
wanted to file one.
II told him to go ahead and put me
in,' said the witness. Il told him that If
he wanted any money to draw on me. He
always did. For two years | did not
pay any attention to the claims or what
the other claimants We're doing because
! was too busy building railroads
Il let Cunningham look after the
claims and everything that he said went
with me.
when | heard about the Guggenheini
proposition | thought IL was all right. /
knew that II would cost nearly 5000 600
to build railroad and docks to handle
the coal. and | knew that one man could
not do II alone. When the Guggenheim
negotiations fell through we organized
the Behring River Railway company. we
had no intention of building a railroad
then, but merely wanted to get right
of way that some one else could not
come in and bottle us up
Throughout his testimony Mr. Henry
frequently said he could not remember
what passed between him and Cunning
ham and that he never paid any atten-
tion to the business. honoring drafts
that wero made upon. him by Cunning
ham and taking it for granted that ev-
erything was all right.

THE devil Is sick; the devil a monk
is he,'' suggested one
Yes said another, Cannon needs all
the administration backing he can get
but even that won't save him.
Insurgent congressman make no doubt
that the speaker Is going to try to tie in
with the White House and show a front
toward doing what is wanted to carry out
the policies of the President However,
none of them believes in the sincerity
of the speaker, and all express doubt as
to whether the President will be taken
in by it. The speaker, according to the
story promised to line UP for real tariff
revision in the famous conference with
the President the week preceding the in
auguration. The Payne-Aldrich bill was
the result and the President has no good
feeling toward the speaker on account Of
it. Those in the Presidents confidence
say it is going to be difficult matter
for the speaker to redeem himself, and
while the President may take no hand in
the parliamentary fights against the
speaker this winter, he can as matters
now stand be put down as opposed to his
reelection to the speakership.
