CURE YOUR
Do Not Endanger Life When a Brook
ing citizen Shows you the Cure.

Why will people continue to- suffer
the agonies of kidney complaint, back
ache, urinary disorders, lameness,
headaches, languor, why allow them
selves to become chronic invalids,
when a certain cure is offered them ?
Doan's Kidney Pills is the remedy
to use, because it gives to the kidneys
the help they need to perform their
work.
If you have any, even one of the
symptoms of kidney diseases, cure
yourself now, before dibetes, dropsy
or Bright's disease sets in. Read this
Brookings testimony:

be kept, used or contained in such
room, or in any room IT place adjacent
10, or connected Herewith, and no
game of cards shall be played in said
room or place"
The ordinance fixes as a penalty OF
not less than $40 or more than $50
for those found guilty of violating its
provisions. Notwithstanding that Cash
offered testimony to the effect that
no one was playing cards in his place
of business at the time the arrest was
made, the presence of cards and tables
were considered evidence that the or
dinance had been violated and he was
found guilty and fined the sum of 500.
Cash's attorney Immediately gave no
tice of an appeal TO the state cir
cult court, and should that court af-
firm the action of the lower court it
is probable that another appeal will
be taken to the state supreme court
in the effort to show that the state
constitution does not grant town or
city councils power to prohibit the
playing of cards in such places as
billiard parlors or halls.

TO TEST POWER OF CITIES.

An interesting case to- test the powers
Of city and town councils has been
instituted as the result of the authori-
ties of Springfield, s.. d., placing a ban
ON card playing in public places like
billiard halls. Joseph Cash, proprietor
Of a billiard hall. was the first to be
arrested for permitting cards and
tables to be in his place Of business.
When taken before a justice for his
trial his attorney raised the question
of the unconstitutionalty Of the ordin-
ance relating to card playing under
which the arrest was made. The or
dinance reads as follows:
II shall he unlawful for any person,
arm or corporation owning or operat-
ing a public resort where any Of the
tables mentioned in the preceding sec

take was the experience of a little
Greek boy. about 10 years of age, who
the other day was found wandering
about the streets of Woonsocket. The
lad was taken in by kind hearted citi-
zens of Woonsocket, who ~endeavored
to learn something of him, but, owing
to the fact that he was unable to
talk Eng ish, but little could be learn
ed from him. AS near as could be
gathered he only recently arrived in
the United States from Europe and
through some mistake had been sent
on to South Dakota instead of Woon-
socket, X. l., where 1t appears certain
that he has relatives, whom he came
tn the United States TO join. The I'M
fortunate boy had but 80 cents in his
pockets wher ound wandering on the
streets. so a collection vas taken up
for him and arrangements made to
have him forwarded TO Rhode Island.

Astapova, Russias-Count Leo Tolls
tot died peacefully. DR.. Makovetsky
and the overwhelming physicians and
Countess Tolstoi were at his side
when the end came.
Tolstoi studied much on education,
and published several short stories
and "reminiscences of childhood and
youth, but of recent years he had de-
voted himself to religious teaching.
He made return not evil' the key
stone of the Christian faith, and in
sisted that the literal Interpretation
of the Sermon on the Mount was the
only rule of the Christian life.
In 1901 Tolstoi was excommunicat-

1902, he deposited his memoirs and
diaries with the curator Of the Rum

they should not be published until

AGENT SUBDUES A ROBBER
BEATS BANDIT WITH HIS OWN
REVOLVER.
Railroader Takes Weapons from
Yeegman and Floors Him.

Edwardsport, Ind.-With a bullet
hole under his heart, Albert Lee,
so years old, station agent for the
indianapolis & Vincennes Railroad
company, fought hand to hand with
desperate robber who attempt
ed to hold up the station, and beat
the bandit into unconsciousness with
his own revolver.
Lee is at the point of death as a
result Of the bullet wound. The rob-
Der, who gave the name of George
Boyd and says he resides on Blake
street, Indianapolis, is under arrest.
Boyd entered the station at a lone
ly hour and with a butcher knife in
one hand an revolver in the other
ordered Lee to surrender. Instead Of
needing the order, Lee rushed furious
ly at the robber and tried to knock
the weapons from his hands. In the
struggle, Boyd fired and the bullet
struck Lee in the breast.
The agent, however, kept fighting
and finally wrested the knife and re-
volver from Boyd. He then beat and
slashed the robber into insensibility
and collapsed. Lees small son, who
was in the station, called in citizens
and Boyd was bound securely before
he regained consciousness.

PREMIER AsQUITH ANNOUNCES
CRISIS IN GOVERNMENT.
Election Before the Holldays-Liberal
Triumph Expected and Hereditary
Legislators Will Lose Power.

London, Observation-Disclosures will
be dissolved on November %, accord
ing to announcement by Premier AS
quith. This insures the general cleo
ton before Christmas.
The announcement that the issue
would be the house of lords, while ex-
pected, still came as a shock to many
Englishmen, who had hoped that King
George would be able to reconcile the
warning elements. The premier was
defiant when he arose to address the
house of commons, and made it plain
that the Liberals were determined
that the people should be given the
opportunity to say whether the lords
were to be retained as part of the leg
islative system
1T is useless to continue the farce
longer" said the premier ITO re-
form the house of lords and at the
same time permit it to retain it's right
Of veto of necessary legislation is
simply to make a farce Of govern
ment. The suggestions of compro-
mise that have been made have not
been for the interests of all the peo-
pie. The government has distinct
program planned, and that program
is to be carried out. The cabinet haG
discussed all the questions Of compro-
mise and has decided that none are
feasible. 1t is, therefore, recommend
ed to King George that parliament be
dissolved on November g."
The announcement that the parting
of the ways had been reached was re-
ceived with loud cheering from the
benches occupied by the Liberal mem
bers. After the session adjourned,
they hurried to congratulate the
members of the cabinet and then
started the machinery of election
working.
The news that the break had come
and that its compromise proposals
had been rejected, was given to the
house of lords by Lord Creal, leader
of the Liberals in the upper chamber.
AS he made his statement there was
great hush over the assemblage
All Of the hereditary members real
lied fully that the announcement
meant the end of their activity in the
public life of the empire.
