IT Is SERIOUS.
Some Cresco People Fail to Realize the
Seriousness of q Bad Back.

The constant aching Of. . bad back,
The WEAKNESS. the tired feeling,
The pains and aches of kidney ills
Are serious-if neglected.
Dangerous urinary troubles follow.
Mrs. Sarah Hamre, Washington st.,
DEBORAH, Iowa, says: '.As the result
of disordered kidneys my back often
ached 90 severely that l could hardly
do anything. If were on my feet
much, or over-exerted myself or caught
cold, my trouble became worse. A
weakness of my kidneys was also in
evidence and annoyed me greatly.
When Doan's Kidney Pills came to my
attention, decided that they were just
what needed and procured a box.
They did me more good than all the
other remedies I had experimental
with and the improvement became
more marked as continued their use.
During the five or six years which have
since elapsed have had no return OF
my trouble, but have occasionally used
q box of Doan's Kidney Pills AZ q
tonic. /"

En- PASSES AWAY.
Was One Of the Best Known Western
Men At the National
Capitol.

Washington, April 9.-Thomas r.
Walsh, the multimillionaire mine own
or, died at his home here.
Death was due to a growth IN the
lungs, the result of an injury received
years ago when Mr.. Walsh was a
miner in the West. Although the "Sil-
yer Mining Kng'' ~ Mr.. Walsh was
known, had been sick for the last three
months the end came suddenly and
peacefully.
He died in his palatial Massachus-
etts avenue home, whittier he returned
several weeks ago after tour through
the South in search of health. He was
surrounded when the end came, by the
immediate members of his family, his
wife, daughter and son-in-law, Edward
Mclean and by three physicians.
He will be buried in Rocky Creek
cemetery in this city by the side of
his only son who lost his life in an
automobile accident several years ago.
At his own request the funeral cere-
monies will be simple. They will be
conducted by the Masonic order and
will be held Sunday afternoon.
Thomas F.. Walsh was born in Ire
land in 1851. He was educated In the
public schools and apprenticed to a
wheelwright. When he was 10 years
old he came to the United States, go
ing to Colorado, where he made his
fortune in the development of mines.
In 1879 he was married to Miss Carrie
b. Reed. He was named as one Of the
commissioners to the Paris exposition
In 1900 and had been otherwise hon.
ored by his government.
Mr.. Walsh was member of a num-
Der of clubs and belonged to several
scientific societies. He was interested
IN aviation, and active in the efforts
to have the international aviation meet
held in the national capital
When the Colorado silver miner
built his Washington home few years
ago it was the largest residence in
the national capital. It has been sur
passed since.
Two of the finest office buildings in
the city have been built by Mr.. Walsh
during the last few years. One of
them he named the Colorado and the
other the Ouray in honor of the state
in which he made his fortune.

Washington. April s.-Reports are

is regarded by the Old Guard in the

From the beginning this element
has opposed MacVeagh and hampered
him in his work. The secretary Of the
treasury does not conceal the fact that
his opinion of political officeholders
is not the highest. but in the selec-
tion of men to assist him in his de-
partmental work he has been met by
opposition of the politicians right
along. Some of his treasury appoint
ments have been held up in the senate.

BABIES ALMANAC,

Babies want the moon, but after they graw up they are content with wish ing for the earth with fence around it.
 Babies can grow in almost anything, but thrive best in a hot and dusty railroad coach five minutes past the time that you had seriously considered a little nap. The fact that there is crying need of more babies will nev- CT be brought home in a passenger coach.
 The baby has often been called the Prince Of Walls.
 A baby is subject to many diseases. One of the most serious of these is called boohoohooritis, which is the re suit of an unfortunate combination of a misplaced pin and fool nurse.

CHEERFUL HOMES.
Their Value in the Bringing Up of
 The Children.

A cheerful. happy home is the greatest safeguard against tempta- tions for the young. Parents should spare no pains to make home cheer full spot. There should be pictures to adorn the walls, flowers to culti- vate the finer susceptibilities, the choicest and most entertaining of books, and instructive newspapers and magazines. These things, no doubt, cost money. but not a tithe the amount that one of the lesser vices even will cost-vices which are to be acquired away from home, but so seldom there. Then there should be social pleasures-a gathering of young and old around the fireside, a warm welcome of the neighbor who drops in to pass a pleasant hour. There should be music, games and reading. The tastes of all should be
