STANDARD WINS AGAIN.
Judge Instructs Jury to Return Yer
clict Of AequittaI.

Chicago, March 10.-The jury re.
turned verdict of acquittal in the
second trial of the Standard Oil com.
pany, charged with making rebates.
The government abandoned its case
when Judge Anderson dismissed all
counts in the indictment ra',rring to
oil shipments from Chappelle, Ills, to
st. Louis. The court explained that
there was variance between the in
dictment and evidence. He said the
Elkins law provides that offenses can
be made by either violating the law on
shipments carried by common carrier
over It's own lines only, or by carrying
over its own lines and other lines. He
stated that the Indictment charged that
the Chappelle shipments were carried
by the Alton over its own lines, where
as the evidence showed that they had
been carried over its own lines and
others United States District Atror.
ney Wilkerson then asked if it were
true that it would be impossible to-
convict the Standard on the evidence
presented. The court answered in
the Affirmative. Wilkinson said:
Then there is no use going on. The
Government rests its case here"
On motion of the counsel for the de
Tense the Judge instructed the jury to-
return verdict of mot guilty" The
jury then rendered formal verde OF
acquittal.

will tell you you have your recourse
in the courts. Yes, and you get a
judgment for $4,000 against a man
not worth the price of a plug of to-

A STEADY DRAIN.
Sick Kidneys Weaken the Whole Body
Make You III, Languid and
Decreased

Sick kidneys weaken the body
through the continual drainage of
life giving albumen from the blood in
to the urine, and the substitution of
poisonous uric acid that goes broad
cast through the system, sowing the
seeds of disease. Loss of albumen
causes weakness, languor, depression.
Uric poisoning causes rheumatic pain,
nervousness, nausea, cricks in the
back, gravel and kidney stones. The
proper treatment is a kidney treat
ment, and the best remedy is Doan's
Kidney Pills. Great Augusta cures
prove it.
John Larrabee, 2S Page ST., Augusta.
Me-, says: For two or three wears
was afflicted with kidney complaint.
had considerable backache but the
chief symptom of my trouble was a
distressing and annoying weakness Of
my kidneys. The kidney secretions
were too frequent in passage and
greatly disturbed my rest at night.
Hearing many good reports about
Doan's Kidney Pills, I was led to try
them, procuring my supply at Willis
K. Partridge's drug store. In short
time 1 noticed an improvement and
continued taking the remedy until the
backache ceased and the kidney secre-
tions were restored to a natural con-
dition. 1t is pleasure to recommend
Doan's Kidney Pills.
