Says an exchange: THAT man Frank
Murphy of the Islanders made a record
during the past Three-Eye season that
is likely to stand. He was the premier
batsman, led in total bases, two base
hits and triples, led the league in
stolen bases and made the most runs.
Murphy goes to Oakland next season.
His smiling face will be missed in the

When Her Back Aches.
A Woman Finds All Her Energy and
Ambition Slipping Away.

Franklin women know how the aches
and pains that come when the kidneys
fail make life burden. Backache,
hip pains. headaches, dizzy spells,
distressing urinary troubles, all tell
of sick kidneys and warn you OF the
stealthy approach of diabetes, dropsy
and Bright's disease. Doan's Kidney
Pills permanently cure all these dis
orders Here's proof of it in a Frank
lin woman's words:
Mrs. Alice 'Guderian, living on Will
low ST., Franklin, La, says.r.I suf-
fered for number of years from
backache and although l took treat
ments from PHYSICIANS, and tried al
most every remedy l could learn of,
my condition remained just about the
same, no relief being obtained at all
until about year ago when | heard
of Doan's Kidney Pills and procured
them at =. j. Gates &. Co.'s drug
store. They promptly and absolutely
removed every sign of the trouble,
banishing the pains in my back, and
restoring the kidneys to their proper
action. have this remedy on hand
now, and do not intend to be without
it,; 1 could not have asked for more
beneficial results than | obtained from
the use of Doan's Kidney Pills. | be-
lieve they are worth their weight in

INDICATIONS ARE ELECTION FOR
MAYOR WILL az CLOSE.
Candidate Who Receives 225,ooo
Votes viii Prove Head
Of Poll.

New York, Nov. 2All three sides
are agreed that there will be $4,000
votes cast to-day out of a total regis
tration of 644,545. OF this number
there will be 1900 scattering, So
cialist and Prohibition, leaving total
of $4,000 to be distributed among
the leading candidates. AT the cleo
ton four years ago Mcclellan polled
228,000, Hearst 224,000 and WINS
$4,000.
In the election for governor in
Greater New York last year, Chsnler
polled 321,000. Hughes 261,000 and
Shearn $4,000. That Hearst is many
times stronger than Shearn is admit
ted on all sides. His campaign man
ayers are claiming $4,000 for him.
The inside Republican figures are
10000 for Hearst, and Tammany
gives him about 100000 These fg-
ures are so wide apart as to offer no
possible clew as to what will be
Hearst's vote to-day.
The trend for the past few weeks
has been toward the Republican
fusion ticket. The indications are
now that the vote will be closer than
was at first believed to be possible.
It seems as If the candidate who
gets 2e5000 votes will prove the head
OF the poll. When 1t, is remembered
tina. Hughes polled $4,000 votes, it
seems as If Barnard must poll within
10000 Of the Hughes vote.

His friends and neighbors were
shocked and deeply grieved upo2
learning of his untimely death, and
We're reluctant to believe that SO ac-

had been taken away. His life was
one of industry and his straightfor-
ward and honest methods brought
him the respect of all who knew him.
He bore sturdy christian character
and was always faithful in the per-
formance of his church duties. He
was always happy in his home and in

community has suffered great loss
in the death of Mr.. Snyder and the
members of the bereaved family have
the sympathy of all.
Loren d. A. Snyder was born in IL
linois August 81, 1871 When he was
i've years old his parents. Mr.. and
Mrs Geo. w. Snyder came to this
county and he has lived in this vicin-
ity since that time. On February z,
1894, he. was united in marriage with
Eva ]. Crosby. daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. P. S. Crosby Of this city.
They soon after moved on the farm
adjoining that of Mr.. Snyder's father
on the north and since then made
that their home. Mr.. and Mrs. Sny-
der both graduated from the. Man.
chester High school in the class Of
1892, Mr.. Snyder receiving honors fol
high scholarship. He joined the Pres
oyterian church on July 1, 1900, and
was always active in all church work
| He is survived by his wife and two
sons, Lyle, aged Ia, and George, aged
u; his parents, Mr.. and Mrs. George
