was to have. delivered and the original
songs he and Fred Harkins, the boy
vocalist, were to have sung, were not
reeled off Mr.. Hukill took up the
time greeting the few friends he saw
and distributing his songs. The OBJ
ject of MIR. Hukill's trip is one of
pleasure combined with business,
his first vacation" he calls il. He
expects to make the trip to Leves in
three days and if horse flesh counts
for anything he will do it. for he
has two of the finest appearing horses
in the State attached to his rig. He
will call attention to his books or
verses and will distribute circulars S
/ along the route. His books contain
a collection of verses and many
whimsical observations of men and
events during the past fifty years.

and the other a Mr. Minner, a cor

the rear of the carriage and there
was also a banner bearing the in
scription, "Going on My First

NEEDFUL KNOWLEDGE.
Rock Island People Should Learn t.
Detect the Approach of Kidney
Disease.

The symptoms of kidney trouble are
so unmistakable that they leave no
ground for doubt. Sick kidneys. ex-
crete a thick, cloudy, offensive urine,
full of sediment, irregular of passage
or attended by sensation of scald-
ing. The back aches constantly,
headaches and dizzy spells may oc-
cur and the victim is often weighed
down and by feeling of languor
and fatigue. Neglect these warnings
and there is danger of dropsy,
Bright's disease, or diabetes. Any
one of these symptoms is warning
enough to begin treating the kidneys
at once. Delay often proves fatal.
You can use no better remedy than
Doan's Kidney Pills. Here's Rock
Island proof:
