constantly aching backs, or headaches,
dizzy spells, bearing-down pains; they

torture. They must walk and lend and

aches from kidney ills. Kidneys cause
more suffering than any other organ of
the body. Keep the kidneys well and
health is easily maintained. Read of q

AGGIES KEEP ON SCORING.
Pile Up a Total of II Against Fair
mount at Wichita

Wichita, Kan. Nov. 22.-Playing
whirlwind football in every depart
ment K. S. A. c. swamped the Fair
mount team Saturday afternoon, win
ming by score of II to 0. Fair
mounts offense was weak and its de-
Tense absolutely ineffectual while
Manhattan gained ground almost at
will and allowed the local team to
make the first down but once
The first touchdown came after
four minutes of play. Seven touch
downs and four goals were scored in
the, first half and five more with four
goals and a drop kick by Bates added
the 81 points in the second session.
O'Hara, who went in at half for Fair
mount, seemed to strengthen the de-
Tense materially in the latter part of
the game. Manhattan used open
style of football for most of the
long gains, though the backs and
tackles bucked repeatedly for good
gains. Paramount could do nothing
with the forward pass and was also
outplayed in the old-style game. Cap
tain Gingery of Manhattan scored
three touchdowns, Spear four, Croyle
two, and Bates, Roots and Parks, one
each. Bates's drop kick came from
an easy chance from the 2o-yard line

WILL OIL The ROAD.
West Sixth Avenue Highway to Be
Treated by Prof. Dickens.

County Commissioners Sinms and
O'Neil have decided that the system
of oiling roads endorsed by Prof. AL
bert Dickens, of Manhattan, is worth
trying. AS a result of their decision.
the West Sixth avenue road. from the
city limits to a point half mile west
of Cages park, will be oiled in the
near future. After their inspection of
the road Monday the commissioners
decided that it would not be necessary
to resurface the road at the present
time. The largest holes will be filled
and tamped, and the roadway oiled. The
cost of oiHng is estimated at $780,
I'VE are not prepared to resurface the
road at this time" said Commissioner
O'Neil today. The oiling of the road
will preserve it and put off the fatal
day when the resurfacing is a necessi-
ty, and we have decided that the ex-
pertinent is worth trying
The effect of the road oiHng will be
watched with interest. 1t is the first
job of the kind ever contemplated seri-
ously in this county.
When the proposition was first under
consideration, the city agreed to oil
to the west end of the pavement, pro-
viding the county decided to oil the
rest of it. The decision of the county
commissioners checks the job up to the
city council The city agreement was
made to the Topeka Commercial club
some time ago.

By the time the police arrived the

been lying in wait for him, ap-
parently for several hours.
Before going to Palermo, Petrosino
frequently visited Puccio's home.
When the body of the detective was
brought to New York for burial,
Puccio took an active part in the
arrangements for the demonstration
in honor of Petrosino for the funeral
and the benefit for the widow. He
helped to form some of the Italian
societies which paraded in the
Petrosino funeral procession and he
marched at the head of the Carlerone
lodge of Forresters. of which. he was
an officer. Puccio was also a lead

Mrs. Petrosino. which was held in
the Academy of Music. While he
was engaged in this work. he re-
ceived several letters threatening
him with death. unless he discon-

and declared he "did not fear the
