reader of this will continue to suffer the
tortures of an aching back, the annoy
ance of urinary disorders. the dangers
of diabetes Of any kidney ills when
relief is 50 near at hand and the most
positive proof given hat they can be
cured. Read what a Greenwood citizen
says:
Mrs. II. N. Austin, $50 Oak St.,
Greenwood, Miss, says: IL had trouble
from my back and kidneys from the time
l was twelve years old and the pains
through my loins laid me up on more
than n occasion. l could hardly
straighten and l can only describe the
misery by saying that it felt a. if the
flesh and muscles in my back were being
twisted. There was also a difficulty
with b kidney secretions. Dizzy
spells were common and 1 was unable to
find relief until l used Doan's Kidney
Pills, procured at Chambers drug store.

that the judge who sentenced him to
the death chair did SO after court had
adjourned.
When Judge Rathmell rendered his
decision remanding him to the Gus

Wis slipped from his chair and was
only kept from falling TO the floor by
the assistance of his attorney, A. j
Layne. He was taken in charge by

HAWKINS BILL
i Goes THROUGH
House Reyerses Action on
Congressional Primaries.
POSTPONE LANGDON BILL

Clevenger Libel Measure Passes SEN
ate With Only Five Opposing Votes.
Yount School Book Bill Put on Cal
endar For Next Tuesday-Deaton
Has Proposition That viii Make
Cedar Point Rival Of Sandusky.
Other Legislative Gossip.
Columbus, o., March 11.--After de
feating the Hawkins bill, which pro-
vides for the nomination of candi-
dates for congress by popular vote,
because it was deficient in number
of essential features of the primary
election law, the house changed It's
mind and by vote of 73 to 23 passed
the measure. The change of heart
was due to the fact that Adolph Haas
of Cleveland made a few changes in
the phraseology of the bill and intro
duceG IL as a substitute.
Senator Shaffer of Paulding intro
duced bill at the request of the
travelling men of the state which com
pels railroads to transport free all
classes of baggage up to $50 pounds
when accompanied by ticket. Rail-
roads now charge excess baggage
rates for sample trunks.
Opposition to the libel bill, led by
Senator Frank Patterson of Ashland
was ineffective in the senate, and
brought only five votes against the
measure. This is the bill introduced
by Senator Cleyenger Of Clinton coun
ty. making privileged the publication
of reports of legislative, executive
and judicial proceedings in newspa
pers. In other words, the bill provid
ed that newspapers could print Off
cial records without being prosecuted
for libel. Senators Clevenger, vii
liams and Johnson argued strongly
for the bill Those voting against II
were Senators Patterson, Huffman
Mather, Keller and Tuttle. .,
Contrary to general expectations
no vote was taken in the house or
measure, but IL was made a special or
der for March 16.
Senator Yount's school hook bill
was read the third time, and at thu
authors request was passed over /,
next Tuesday.
Among the bills introduced in th'
senate were two by Mr.. Deaton o
Champaign, as follows: Amending tn,
law regarding the taking of territor!
from the corporate limits OF cities 81
as to permit it to be done when sep
arated from other land of the corpo
ration by water more than mil,
wide. providing for the organization
OF a village on plated peninsula
more than rs per cent of which is sur
rounded by water The law now eX
listing does not reach such case
These two bills are suspected of be
ing projected TO enable Cedar Poin
TO incorporate as rival of Sandusky
