DROPS HER JEWEL BAG.
Woman Receivers 1t But Many VaIu-
abIes Are Missing.

New York, Nov. 29.-Jeremiah Muir
ply, 17-year-old Jersey City boy, was
arrested here early today charged with
grand larceny in connection with the
loss of jewels valued at $4,000 from a
Pennsylvania railroad sleeping car. The
jewels, according to the police, are the
property of Mrs. Alexander Mcdonald, a
wealthy New York woman. She reached
New York from the west and in Ieav-
ing the train dropped unnoticed the vel
vet bag which contained the jewels.
She reported her loss as soon as she
reached her home and detectives were
sent to find the missing property.
They located the car in the railroad
storage yards. They found the bag ly-
ing in a corner on the floor, but most
of the gems were missing. The po-
lice assert that Murphy, an employee
of the company, had one of the rings
in his possession. The missing Jewels
include a number of diamond rings
diamond necklace, a number of dia-
mond bracelets and seevral diamond
pins.

FISH IS AN ANIMAL.
Police Judge So Holds But Is Over
ruled by City Attorney.

st. Louis, Nov. 29.-Fish have been
legally assigned to the category of ami
mails by Judge William Jefferson Pol
lard of the Dayton street police court.
he was opposed in this view by City
Attorney Levy.
The case was that against Louis
kram, peddler, charged with cruelty
to animals in fastening a live fish to
the top of his wagon as an advertise
ment.
Il wish to enter a nolle prosequi in
this case" announced Levy, because a
fish is not an animal"
1T is an ANIMAL" said Judge Pol
lard.
'I beg your pardon, it is not" re-
piled Levy.
1T has life, and is not a vegetable -
was the courts rejoinder. Amy die
tionary will tell you it's an animal
But Levy insisted that it was not,
and permitted Kram to go on his way
rejoicing.

TO SUBMIT SCHEDULES.
Representatives of Western Railroads
Make Washington Visit.

Chicago, Nov. 29.-Representativ
of western railroads who have been in
conference here for several days over
the proposed advance in freight rates
to the Pacific coast, have gone to
Washington to lay the new schedules
before the interstate commerce coll--
mission
The schedules adopted show an in
crease approximating 25 per cent in
the class rates on transcontinental long
hauls.
In submitting this application for
an advance in the transcontinental
freight rates to the interstate COM
MERGE commission the railroads are
impelled by the provision in the re-
Gently amended law and the court de-
cision relative to it, prohibiting them
from charging more for short than
for a long haul over the same line.
Rather than reduce RATES on the short
haul the railroads will put up the
rates on the long haul if the commits
sion will permit.

The Praise That Comes From Thank

One kidney remedy never fails.

One kidney remedy never falls
Topeka people rely upon it.
That remedy is Doan's Kidney Pills.
Topeka testimony proves it always
reliable.
Charles Botham, 612 Lake street,
Topeka, Kan, says: 81 take pleasure
in confirming the public statement
gave in favor of Doan's Kidney Pills
in November, 1908. During the time
that has since passed, 1 have taken
this remedy occasionally and it has
never failed to act promptly and eff
fectively. A severe attack of typhoid
fever left my kidneys badly disordered
and after that my back was constantly
racked with pain The passages of the
kidney secretions were irregular and
my condition was so serious that l
was alarmed. An advertisement about
Doans Kidney Pills induced me to get
this remedy at Rowley's drug store
and begin its use. In short time
was able to get about with the aid of
crutches and gradually improved I'M
til 1 could walk alone. 1 am in much
better health since taking Doane's Kid
ney Pills and in view of my experience,
I feel justified in advising their use
to other persons afflicted with kidney
complaint" Statement given Novem-
Der 10, 190s.)
CONFIRMED PROOF.
On April 81, 1910, Mr.. Botham was
interviewed and he said: Il can stlll
endorse Doan's Kidney Pills in the

LumbagO Is a Form of Muscular Rheu.
matism and Is Readily Cured by the
Treatment Which Is Conquering
Rheumatism Everywhere.

Although Iumbago occurs in almost any
walk of life it is chiefly a disease of work
ing men among whom it numbers thou
sands of victims. AS its attacks recur
frequently and are very painful, this dis
ease means the loss of much time and
money as well as the endurance of much
suffering. No victim of this disease need.
to be told that it does not yield to the
treatment usually prescribed. The trouble
being in the blood, hniments and exter-
nal applications of any kind simply allay
the pain for brief time and the patient
soon suffers as badly as before
Iumbago Is sudden in its attack and Is
30 intensely painful that the sufferer is
often unable to move, even to turn in
bed or to rise from a chair. The correct
treatment is the same as for muscular
rheumatism and the ease with which
this painful disease may be overcome
when it is properly treated is illustrated
by the case of Mr.. T. p McGrew, of No
1887 Corley avenue, Beaumont, Texas,
who was a sufferer from lumbago for two
years and was often forced to lay oil
from his work as engineer for several
days at time. He says:
i was taken very suddenly with lum-
bago while at work. The pains were
very sharp and so severe that l came
near fainting From then on l suffered
regularly with these attacks until l took
DR. Williams Pink Pills The attacks
generally lasted for two or three days
and during them could hardly stand up,
while it hurt me about as badly to lie
down.
81 was treated off and on by doctors
but was not given any permanent relief
One doctor gave me Gniment, but it
didn't help. 1t was only when I tried
Dr. Williams Pink Pills that l began to
be benefited. I took several boxes and
haven had a touch OF the disease since"

route filter in slowly. 1t is
known that SO miles of track are gone
and that the road is, in fact. practically
washed out in long stretches. All
trains, save four locals, have been
abandoned. 1t is announced that there

fore September. 1t is conservatively
estimated that it will cost $4,000, 900
to rebuild the line. which must follow
a different route and one which de-
tours Meadow valley. The damage is
so stupendous the officials themselves
cannot give comprehensive details. 1t
is considered the greatest railroad

The tumult subsided as rapidly as it
had risen, and after three roll calls
had been called to reverse Mr.. Ogles-
by's decisions under the gavel, the
primary bill was advanced to third
reading.
waterway Bill Passed.
The Schmitt waterway bill was pass
ed by the senate yesterday afternoon
by a vote of % to 10 two votes more
than the required constitutional ma
jority. There was little debate and no
oratory. The administration leaders
had spent the entire morning in
strengthening their fences, which had
been somewhat shattered by the fierce
debate Tuesday night and they work
ed to such purpose that when the bill
was put on its passage 1t was within
one of having enough republican votes
to carry it through Three democrats,
Senators Burton, Glackin and Hoist
law, supported the measure, and with
this aid the supporters of the Deneen
waterway plan won.
House To settle It's Fate.
The passage of the bill occasioned
little surprise, as the forecasts of near
ly all the assembly leaders had been
that the upper house would pass the
measure it sent over to the house last
spring. The fight now transfers itself
TO the lower branch, which has been
mapped out as the real battle ground
for the waterway struggle.
1t is considered likely that the mat
ter will be allowed to slumber for a
week or two in conformity with the
agreement between Governor Deneen
and Senator Lorimer that the fight
over the waterway in the house should
not be forced to a head until after
Feb. /.
Bill for Commission Rule Advanced.
The commission form of government
for Illinois cities took another long
jump yesterday afternoon. The SEN
ate sent the Barr bill to the third
reading without debate or amendment.

sage, yesterday transmitted to the gen.
eral assembly recommendations of the
state mining investigation committee
for laws to secure safety for and i'm

The recommendations of the COM
mission were embodied in three bills,
which were submitted to both houses

ing of the governors message.
