DEEDS, NOT WORDS
Canon City People Have Absolute
Proof Of Deeds ut Home.

It's not words but deeds that prove
true merit.
The deeds Of Doan's Kidney Pills.
For Canon City sufferers,
Have made their local reputation.
Proof lies in the testimony of Can
on City people who have been cured
to stay cured.
Mrs. John Rippse 215 Greenwood
avenue. Canon City. Colo. says: THE
knowledge have OF the benefit other
persons have received from Doan's
Kidney Pills gives me great conf
dence in them. A person In our
household complained a great deal of
pains in the back and an extreme
lameness across the loins and kid
neys. Believing that this suffering
was due to fault OF the kidneys, he
procured supply of Doan's Kidney
Pills at Hunter Palmer's Drug store
This remedy quickly and positively
relieved him and during the past six
years. there has been no return at
tack of the trouble"

Horticultural Experts Give Advice As
To Best Methods and Time for
Thinning Unripe Fruit.

From Thursdays Daily.
Mrs. NJ A. Shute, assistant secreta-
ry to the state board OF horticulture,
best-known apple-growers In the
state. with one accord they advocate
thinning. and give many practicable
ideas as to how It may best be done.
J. II. Sayles of Paiisade says: Thin
ming Is the least understood Of any of
our fruit work; however our most
successful growers thin as early as
possible to from three to six inches
apart leaving the finest specimens.
Our hap-hazard growers walt for the
June drop which never comes TO the
orchard that was thinned early; At
least not to my trees that were thin
ned when peaches were the size OF the
end of your little finger.
Never allow fruit to harden the pit
or an inferior crop win be the result:
thin early In my advice. Those who
waited for the June dry are now rush
ing the thinning and all fruit has per-
fected the pit growth and many of
the peaches have fine red cheeks This
kind OF fruit growing insures lots OF
small insIpid pie peaches while thoes
who thinned early have large fine
fruit
II thinning is delayed until the pits
are fully hardened your crop is in
iured as well as disaster to the tree
and the next years crop also: as
scientific growers say It is harder on
the life Of a peach tree to perfect one
pit than four or five large peaches as
a great per cent OF peaches are water.
II an overloaded tree is allowed TO
harden or perfect their pits before
thinning. the fruit as well as the tree
is surely injured and short-iived trees
the result
give my experience as a lifelong
fruit grower. cut out those fads as the
Jane drop and thin at the very ear
Hest possible, proiong the life of the
tree and always grow fine fruit I
look for a large per cent OF small pie
peaches from trees thinned late.

WANT SINGLE TRACK REMOVED
Declare That the Fact That the Com
pany Once Elected to Lay Double
Tracks Removed Their Right to Lay
a Single Track on street.

Troubles of the Kenosha Electric
Railway Company have broken out in
a new spot with the filing Of the sum
mons and complaint in the action of
John Millward, W. j. Ryan and An
ton Morsch against the company. The
three men are property owners on
Elizabeth street and their demand is
that the court perpetually enjoin the
company from operation of cars over
the lines on Elizabeth street in front
Of the property of the plaintiffs in the
action. The property is all to the
east of the Chicago and Northwestern
Railway Company and in way it is
a reopening of the old fight of the
property owners on the street recently
decided by the supreme court in favor
of the property owners.
In their complaint the property own
ers through their attorney, r. V. Baker
assert that the company has tracks on
this street without warrant. They
declare that the company is using old
worn out cars and that they make SO
much noise that they are nuisance
and an annoyance and that the oper-
alton of them under the circumstances
has affected the value Of the property
of the plaintiffs to a great extent.
However the meat Of the complaint
is contained in section which de-
clares that the company has no war
rant for the operation of the cars. It
asserts that at the time of the passing
of the franchise by the common coun-
ell the company was given the right
to elect whether it would operate a
double or single track on the, street
and it elected to operate double
track. This election was followed by
the building of a double track on the
street and later when the property
owners put up a fight the company
was directed by the courts to remove
one Of the tracks. Now the property
owners declare that the company hav-
ing elected to build a double track
cannot assume rights to lay single
track. The plaintiffs demand a per-
petual injunction against the opera
tion of cars on the track and that the
court direct the company to remove
the tracks from the street at once
The case has been noticed for trial
at the present March term of the Cir
cult Court. A favorable decision for
the property owners would demand
REIMBURSEMENT of all schedules of the
railway company and would result in
them returning to the operation Of
the South street and West Main street
lines. There is some doubt as to
whether this would be possible as the
company abandoned the use of these
lines many months ago and there is a
grave doubt if they could return and
claim rights under the franchise at
this time. It is expected that the
case will be bitterly contested by the
defendant company.
