The latest developments in the case of M. Dwight Fortner, the former clerk at the old Hotel Trulock in this city, for whose arrest warrants have been issued on forgery charge at St. Louis, was the statement yeste-- day of Cashier Battaille of the Me- chanics- American National Bank, in St. Louis, that he refused to cash the $11, 900 check for Fortner which Fort ner the same day cashed at the St. Louis National Bank of Commerce and disappeared.

 The Gyaphic's critic arrived late at last nights performance, took a seat in the dress circle and imagined there were others in the audince. but 1t was only Imagination, after all. He tried to imagine that 1t was good show but every time he got right something took place on the stage to change his imagination. He arrived too late to see the explosion In the gold mine, minus the gold, but thero were evidences of other explosive minds" during his stay and for fear that 1t might be catching he moved nearer the front door.

'Doan's Kidney Pills were OF greater
benefit to me than any other remedy
ever took. The public statement 1 gave
in their favor some three years ago still
holds good and l have no objection to
its continued publication. 1 was bothered
considerably by pains in the small of my

much annoyance. I often had to get up
three or four times at night on account
of this weakness. DOan's Kidney Pills

way. Every kidney sufferer in Salt
