 Mrs. F. A. Quinn, 1908 w.

In the morning when he arose, he would be so lame and stiff that 1t was only by a painful effort he was able to move. Be- aides this, he had much difficulty from the kidney secretions. The first box of Doan's Kidney Pills, procured from the Mann-Tankersley Drug Co., gave him such great relief that he obtained another. He used this and still an- other box of this remedy md was then cured completely. He is now in good health and spirits and never complains of his former trouble"

SECESSION IN NICARAGUA
PROPOSED INDEPENDENCE OF
ATLANTIC COAST STATES.
Proclamation Said to Be Contem-
plated by Estrada-Attitude' of
the State Department

The report that the provisional admin.
istration Of Gen. Estrada contemplates ar
early proclamation of the independence oil
the Atlantic coast states OF Nicaragua as
a republic seems to have a basis In fact
At any rate. it is believed that this step
on the part of the Estrada administration
is backed by public sentiment in those
states. The State Department has re-
ceived an official dispatch from Nicaragua
to that general effect, ard the officials
would not be surprised at the issue Of a
declaration Of independence shortly. 1t is
pointed out. however. that in the case OF
the separation of the Atlantic coast states
from the rest of Nicaragua certain pre-
liminaries would have to be DISPOSED OF
as condition precedent to the RECOGNITION
of the new republic by the United States
One of these conditions is the establish.
ment of a definite boundary line between
the two republics.
In the case OF the secession OF Panama
from the republic OF Colombia there was
natural boundary line between the two
countries which had been recognized for
a long period OF time, out no such vel
defined watershed or river separates the
eastern states of Nicaragua from the
western except only for an uncomfortable
distance.
Although this situation would have nc
effect upon the ultimate recognition of the
new republic by the United States, beyond
reasonable doubt i would delay such rec
ognition for a considerable time.
Ii IS we'll known here among diplomats
and others well informed that the State
De partment is in full sympa thy with the
revolutionary movement and would vel
come the retirement of Zelaya az head OF
the Nicaraguan government

DEATHS OF GENERALS.
Unusual Number Have Passed Away
in Past Few Weeks.

The death rate among the general OFF,
GERS of the army, retired. in the last few
weeks far exceeds that of any other pc
riod of equal length in the history of the
country, and is spoken Of as Startling"
by the older officers. No less than seven
general officers have passed away within
as many weeks. These were Lieut.. Gen.
Henry C. Corbin. sixty-seven years Of
age; Mai Gen. Elwell S. Otis, seventy-one
Mai. Gen. Alfred E. Bates sixty-seven:
Mai. Gen. o. o. Howard. seventy-nine
Mai. Gen. Robert p. Hughes. seventy:
Brig Gen. r. c. Drum, eighty-four. and
Brig. Gen. Alfred 8. Kimball sixty-nine
Within the seven weeks there have been
a number of deaths among officers OF
lower rank including Maj. Theodore A.
Dodge.
Although some Of these officers were
long past middle life, in less than half of
the cases their deaths can be attributed
to causes incident to advanced age.

NO GOOD REASON FOR CHANGE
CHIEF JUSTICE SHEPARD'S
VIEW OF FORM OF OATH.
Verbiage All Right if Obligation Is
Properly Regarded After
Being Sworn To.

What is needed is not change in the
form OF the oath taken by witnesses, but
In the observance of the same after it has
been taken
This is the view taken by Chief JUS
tice Shepard of the Court OF Appeals in
connection with the proposal for tine
passage of law to prohibit the use of
the words 80 help me Cod at the end
of oaths administered in the District of
Columbia. The bill was submitted to the
Commissioners by Benjamin p. Moore OF
1903 North Calvert street. Baltimore, who
secured the enactment of similar meas
ure by the Maryland legislature.
Before passing on the bill the Commissions
ers decided to get the views of the judges
of the Court of Appeals and of the Dis
trict Supreme Court. the United States
attorney, the corporation counsel and the
president Of the District Bar Association.
II must say that I see no good reason
COR change in the present law" Chief
Justice Shepard wrote to Commissioner
mcfarland. He then made the observa-
ton quoted.
