NEWFANE.
A Poem of Local Flavor.

A man who lives within our town,
A gentleman of some renown,
One calm, serene. midsummer day
10 the river made his lonesome way
Thinking there bath he'd take;
So preparations he did make.
Hitching his horse so strong and fast
And on the bank his clothing cast.
Then into the water he did go,
With many a sturdy stroke and slow,
When all at once so loud and clear,
An auto whistle reached his ear.
Up, up the bank he quickly sped
Fearing lest his horse had fled
But the horse was there. and furthermore
An auto came with ladies four.
And the mans heart began to sink
As of his clothing he did think.
And his thoughts went back to the old
time ways
And he sighed and prayed for the fig lea
days.

Just what to do when the kid
heys are affected, is q question
that concerns both young and old.
Weak kidneys neglected in child
hood lead to lifelong suffering.
People of advanced years, with
less vitality, suffer doubly. In
youth or age, langu0r, backachs,
urinary irregu1arity, dizziness and
nervousness make life burden.
There is one remedy that acts
rirectly on the kidneys and cures
these troubles. Doan's Kidney
Pills owe their worldwide fame
10 the fact that they cure sick
kidneTB and cure them perman-

CITY GETS RIGHT
Of WAY FOR

The Mitigating companies which
have been at war in court for the
rights on the Nisqually river,
which the city is now starting to
condemn, have given the eight
right of way. The lawsuit of the
contesting companies was set for
this week in superior court but
the belligerents stepped aside and
nad their case postponed until
May "a to allow the city to come
In with it's hearing May %.
The city will probably be given
free reign to condemn and then
the companies will fight 1t out
afterward, to see who gets the
city's money. The city is not in
terested in that. All 1t wants
5 the property and It does not
care who gets the cash. 1t will
pay its money into court and let

FARMER MEETS
SUDDEN DEATH

John Asmussen, Tenino far
mer, was almost instantly killed
Thursday night by having his
head crushed in the door of a
Northern Pacific freight car. As
mussen was moving his belongings
to Kent, and had packed his fur
niture and live stock into the car,
He was sitting on the threshold OF
the car door, waiting for a freight
locomotive to connect with 1t and
haul it to Kent.
The locomotive, however,
switched another car violently
against the one in which Asmus-
sen was sitting, causing the heavy
door to slam against his head. He
died almost instantly.
Asmussen is survived by q wild
ow and three children.
