There is no more serious danger to health than the presence of too much uric acid in the body. It is the duty of the kidneys to rid the system of uric poisons as fast as they accumu late. When the kidneys fail to do this work thoroughly, uric acid at Jacks begin, first in one part, then in another.
 The cause of these attacks is so likely to be mistaken, even by q Coctor. that 1t IS wei. to post your self on the subjeci. If uric acid troubles are recognized in the begin ming. it is easy to cure the weakened kidneys with Doans Kidney Pills. and when the kidneys are working right again the uric acid will be driv- len off as fast as it gathers in the urine.
 It is dangerous to neglect sick kid ncys. It leaves the uric acid free To attack and damage every organ of the body The blood gets so thick with waste matter that it moves slowly, the heart beats queerly, the veins and arteries harden; uric acid crystals are deposited in muscles and joints. and are likely to form into sediment, gravel and stones in the kidneys and bladder; dropsy swell ings appear and the gradual tendency is towards Brights disease.
 The pains from uric acid attacks are characteristic; backache. sciatica, muscular or articular rheumatism, neuralgia. lumbagO, pains through the hius and groin headache and ner-

A few days ago he told the sheriff that he knew where Nillegrand was, he had for some time been working near Win kelman. Little attention was paid to his story at first for Para is an un- varying liar. But d day or two ago Officer Doremy at Ray was asked to look into the story and yesterday lie reported that Nilelgrand was at Win kelman. sick and helpless. He said that Nilegrand ought not to be moved now but if the sherifrs office wanted him right away he would bring him.

Nndrcas Nillcgrand. for whom the office of the sheriff has been looking for the last three years. has been To- cated at last. The offensc of Vile grand was an attempt to murder Constable Ivy and Deputy Sheriff Wayne Davis who were trying to ar rest him for an assault upon d MeXi- can woman with a gun.
 When Nillegrand learned that the officers were after him he gave out that he would be taken only after he had created some official vacancies. Constable Ivy was the first to cu against him and he soon retired from the combat. He was armed only with a revolver while the Mexican had a Winchester rifle which he used to the best of his ability.
 After this Skir1niSh Nillcgrand fled to the dense brush on the river bank south of the city and 1t was there that the deputy sheriff unexpectedly found Eim. Niilcsrand was located by the bullets which whistled about the head of the officer Little puffs of smoke in the brush indicated the hiding place of Villegrand. There was no hiding place for the officer who soon realized that one armed with q pistol is at a disadvantage in a duel with hidden enemy with d rifle. The deputy sheriff also exc cuted a retrograde movement and re- turned to town for rifles and rein forccmcnts
 NilleGrand was seen no more in these parts His wife entered upon d period of rejoicing for she had been in terror of him. She believed now that she was done with him forever If he had merely been captured he would have got out of the peniten- tiary sometime and have come back: as a fugitive from justice he would probably remain away.
 Ever since then Nilleerand has Oc- cupied a prominent place on the wanted list of the Sheriff's office but nothing was heard of him and it was believed that he had gone to Mexico.

DEMOCRATIC THUNDER

The democratic membership of the house forced the republicans to adopt an amendment to the Wickersham railroad bill making tele- graph and telephone companies common car rlers, and placing them under the interstate commerce commission. A sufficient number of progressives came over to make the allies mas ters of the house for the time being.
 The action was something of slap at Presi- dent Taft, as he has not recommended that tele- graph companies be placed under the jurisdic- tlon of the interstate commerce commission, and such a provision was not provided for in the Wickersham bi
 The plank in the national democratic platform of 1908 which the democrats of the house forced into the president s bill was as follows:
 ''We pledge the democratic party to the en- actment of law to regulate, under the juris- diction of the interstate commerce commission the rates and services of telegraph and tele- phone companies engaged in the transmission of messages between the states

POLITICS AND POLITICIANS

Mankato is the first city of Minnesota to adopt the commission form of government. The ant-saloon forces are organizing in Ore gon to make the state 'dry' in 1911. 1 North Dakota democrats are out to land the vice presidential nomination in 1912 for Gov ernor Burke of their state.
 | Former Governor w. M. O. Dawson of West l Virginia has issued denial of the report that he is candidate for the United States senate.
 Former President Roosevelt is expected to speak at the biennial convention of the National Republican league to be held in New York next month.
 Iowa prohibitionists have nominated com plete state ticket, headed by E. A. McEachron of Waterloo, as the candidate for governor.
 Thomas Kershaw, C. c. Featherstone and Colonel E. l.. Blease will contest for the gov .ernorship in the democratic primaries in South Carolina this summer
 Governors Stuart of Pennsylvania, Ansel of South Carolina and Donaghey of Arkansas are expected to take part in the great Sunday school parade in Washington next week.
 The democratic state convention of Nortb Carolina will meet in Charlotte on July 14 to name candidates for the offices to be filled at the election next November
 Democrats of South Dakota have chosen Chauncey l.. Wood of Rapid City as the guber material candidate to head the ticket to be voted for in the primaries next month
 The opinion seems to be gaining ground in Georgia that former Governor Hoke Smith, who was defeated for reelection last year, is likely to again make the race for chief executive.
 The most exciting local election the city of Denver has witnessed in years is to be held May F, when a vote will be taken on the questions of saloons or no saloons. The anti-saoon forces are making heroic efforts to arouse public senti- ment in favor of their cause.
 Montana is entitled to be called banner re- publican state. In more than two-thrds of t e counties of the state the democrats have not elected members cf the legislature in recent years, and the strength of that party now, as formerly, is centered in the mining camps about the smelters.

THE VALUE OF COURAGE

 High ability, fine optimism, cheerful hopeful ness amount to little unless backed up by genu. inc courage.
 Without courage men have hesitated- -and lost when on the verge of success. Let's consider a present example of simple but impressive real courage-Weston. Here we have a man of seventy-two years who blithely sets out to walk across this con tinent in ninety days, starting on the appalling journey only few weeks after he made the same trip in the opposite direction in trife over one hundred days. On his foot journey he encountered terrific difficulties. Rains and tornadoes beset him, and in the southwest he passed through such per iod of relentless heat whilst he plowed the dreary akali sands as even that hot country seldom experiences.
 Few men of twenty-five years are physically able or sufficiently courageous to walk twenty miles a day for five days in succession.
 This man of seventy-two, walking from thirty to sixty miles day, kept it up for ninety days.
 Occasionally he delivered a lecture while he rested-and these lectures were always based on the beauty of correct living
 For you will have little trouble believing that Edward Payson Weston, celebrated pedestrian, at seventy two, has not dissipated. Decent iv- ing is the foundation of courage.
 Late hours, excessive drinking of whskey, smoking and other facilitating (and foolish) indulgences certainly have not been part of this dauntless old mans life.
 Neither has he wrecked his system by indul- gence in violent hatreds and vain regrets which undoubtedly do as much physical damage as corrupt living.
 Weston has not lain awake nights, miserable because a rival might outdo him. He has not envied other men until he was sick at heart be- cause they were more fortunate than he.
 Perhaps it would be well for some of the younger generation of men and women to ob- serve and heed-this old gentleman's $ method of life. Perhaps we too, might reach vigor- ous old age if we banish envy and hatred, use less worry, anger and apopIexy, bad habits and heart trouble, vicious dreams and debility, from our lives.
 There is little doubt that Weston sets an eX- ample in other things as well as in walking which can be followed with profit by the major itv of American men and women.
