suffer from bad backs and kidney
ills. Lest any sufferer doubt that
the cures made by Doan's Kidney
Pills are thorough and lasting, we

were permanent. Here's a Marion

Mrs. H. Rice. 2S1 Lincoln Ave-,

Doan's Kidney Pills in my family
with excellent results. Some ten or
twelve years ago we first procured
Doan's Kidney Pills at Shcmidt &
Co. s drug store and they proved
to be genuine medicine, living up
to all the claims made for them.
At that time 1 freely gave a state

say that lapse of time has not

ousting of the five directors of the
mother church. 1t is said by the
group that while the directors are
good business men, they are lacking
in spiritual power, and II is stated
that the members are determined
that the church shall have a spiritual

Manuel Bonilla, former president Of
Honduras, who left New Orleans, ac-
companied by General Lee Christ
mas, for an unknown point in Cen
tral America, as the date for a gem

Generals Bonilla and Christmas
left New Orleans simultaneously
with the departure of the Hornet, but
they did not go on that vessel. The
ship is said to have gone directly to
Cape Gracias, for which point she
cleared.
Dispatches from various points in
Honduras give the information that
revolutionary movement is expect
ed at any time. and that the coast
cities and many of those in the in.
terror have been fortified and garri-
soned by President Davila. Accord
ing TO the dispatches the gunboat
Tatumbla, the sole naval force of the
HondIran government on the Allan
tic coast, is in a sinking condition
from lack of care. and strenuous ef-
torts are being made to keep her
afloat.
General Bonilla is expected to
reach some Central American port,
probably Cape Gracias, Nicaragua,
within a day or so, when, according
to the plans announced, a quick as.
sault can be made against one of the
principal Atlantic ports of Honduras
and a foothold be gotten for the at
tacking armies.

the prisoner for the cruel rat she
