The Value of DipIomacv

The southern dark is not, generally
speaking, lacking in tact when it comes
to dealing with his white neiehbors as
the following story indicates;
A vertain planter in Louisiana had
caught opossum and seeing three
negroes whom he knew approach and
knowing the fondness of the race for
the aforementioned toothsome animal.

''FRATSS" IN BIG MATCH
Harborites Enjoy Three
Cornered Bowling Games
Last Night.
Especial to THE TrMEs.)

indiana Harbor, Ind, March 10.-The
e-cornered bowling match last
night at the Coliseum, between the
Elks. Royal League and AIl-Star teams.
resulted in a victory for the All-Stars.
One feature of the match was the cold
feet displayed by Mr. Campbell. who
apparently got very jealous of the ex
cellent form displayed by Mr.. SpeIlacy.
Messrs. Lundquist and Higgins seem
ed to think it was wrong, too. for a
man to get mad just because another
man was making high bowling aver
age. Judge T. NJ c. Hembroff admits
that he is ordinarily a "corking" good
bowler, but said that his recent at
tack of appendicitis probably was ac
countable for his low score.
Following is the score:
Elks-First game, TIC; second game.
632; third game. 1872. Total, 2.1sO.
Royal League-First game. 61O: sec
ond game, $50; third game, 7S4. Total.
2,144
All-stars-First game, 721; second
game, 697; third game, 7S1. Total g.
1879.
Following are the contestants:
Elks - Garvin, Hembroff, Higgins.
Shock and Stephens.
Royal League-Burdick, Egbert, NIL

WEAK KIDNEYS MAKE
WEAK BODIES.
Kidney Diseases Cause Half the Com
mon Aches and Ills of Ham,
mond People.

As one weak link weakens a chain. so
weak kidneys weaken the whole BODY
and hasten the final breaking down.
Overwork. strains. colds and other
causes, injure the kidneys. and when
their activity is lessened the whole
body suffers from the excess of uric
poison circulated in the blood.
Aches and pains and Ianguor and
urinary Ills come, and there is an ever
increasing tendency towards diahatas
and fatal Bright's disease. There is no
real help for the sufferer except kid
ney help.
Doan's Kidney Pills act directly on
the kidneys and cure every kidney i'll.
Hammond cures are the proof
Mrs. c. Wise, of 407 Indiana avenue.
Hammond, Ind, says: Il was told bv
friend that Doan's Kidney Pills were
fine remedy for kidney trouble and on
her suggestion, I purchased a box at
Bicknell Co.'S drug store. I began
taking them as directed and in a connie
of days could see that I was being
benefited. The pain in my back was
less severe, the kidneys were more raa-
ular in action and I felt much stronger
After weeks use the pain had entsralv

the first round I was never in danger
