It Is So.

Doan's Kidney Pills cure the cause
of disease. and that is why the cures
are aIwa:-s lasting. This remedy
strengthens and tones up the kidneys,
helping them to drive out OF the body
the liquid poisons that cause back
ache, headache and distressing kidney
and urinary complaints Clarksburs
people testify to permanent cures.
Mrs. David Davis, III Locust ST.,
Clarkaburg, w. Va. says: "I suf-
fered from kidney trouble for a num-
Der OF years and was 80 bad of at
times that had to stay In bed. l
had such severe pains across my back
that I was unable to walk and 1t Of
ten seemed as IL my kidneys did moi
act at all, was in bad way when
Doan's Kidney Pills were brought
to my attention and I procured a box
at Wells & Haymaker's drug store.
The contents OF the first box gave
me great relief and continued taxi
ing this remedy until cure was af-
fected. MY Kidneys have been nor

Chester Martin at Home

Chester Martin arrived home
from Topeka on Monday. For the
past several months he has unde-
gone treatment in theTopeka ir
asylum, having been committed to
that institution last summer. I'm
mediately upon his arrival home
he was taken into custody by Dep
uty Sherlfs Gallagher and Axtell
and City Marshal Stevens, on in.
structions from Probate Judge Gar
rison who was directed by the sup
erintendent of the asylum to re.
turn him to that institution.
Chester's condition is, perhaps a
little better than it was when he
was adjudged insane. He will be
cared for by the sheriff until the
asylum authorities are heard from.
Physically he is looking we'll and
he seems better mentally but the
fact remains that he left the asylum
without a legal discharge and un-
til properly released it is the duty
of the officers to restrain him.

District Court Next Monday

The February term of the district
court of Barber county will con
vene next Monday. There are
SEVENTY nine cases on the docket
three criminal and seventy-six civil
The criminal cases are:
State VS.. D. NJ. Circle.
State VS.. D. F. Williams.
State VS.. r. E. Kathren and
George Horton.
Mr.. Circle is charged with OBJ.
tanning money fraudulently and
under false pretense. The com
planning witness is Amanda Potter,
Chillicothe, Mo. 1t involves a land
and a drug store deal and the mat
ter has been in court in different
shapes for several years, and it has
proved costly as we'll as a monot-
onous affair to the people of Bar
Der county.
In the Williams case the defend
ant is charged with perjury, and it
is also an aftermath of the Circle
Potter imbroglio. DR.. Williams
is veterinary surgeon. He resides
at Chillicothe, No. At the October
term of the district court he testi-
fed that he saw Mr.. Circle in Chill.
licothe on certain days. Later it
was discovered that Circle was
defendant in a suit that was on
trial in district court in this city
one or two of these days and the
clerks records show that he was
sworn in the case and therefore
could not have been in Chillicothe,
and warrant was issued and DR..
Williams was arrested. The de.
tense will plead a confused memory
and will endeavor to show that
DR.. Williams's testimony was not
positive and in other ways throw
the defendant on the mercy of the
jury.
The whole fuss-from the time
that Mr.. Circle and Mrs. Potter
traded, one unloading poor land
and another drug store, in which
each tried to edo" the other, down
to DR. Williams's movements and
arrest, is disgusting and it is little
less than an outrage that the peo-
pie of Barber county must bear
such a large part of the expense
created. The prosecution against
Circle was authorized by Attorney
General Jackson but it is doubtful
whether he was advised in all of
the facts in the mixup when ne
authorized it.
The important cases on the civil
docket are several" mental anguish"
damage suits. Some of them have
been pending for some time while
others have been brought since the
October term. A large portion of
the civil docket is composed of de-
fault cases and it will not require
much time to close them up.

One on the Schoolma'm

A school teacher from neigh
oorlne wn attended the meeting
OF the tie teachers association
held IT ,tly in Topeka and while
there ded to blow herself for a
pair hoes. She went into a
shoe S -e accompanied by two
other oolma ms ard as thev
were busy discussing school matters
the one who desired the shoes told
the clerk what she wanted and
went on with the conversation
without paying much attention to
what the clerk did. He took
look at her foot and then went to
another part of the store where he
pulled out some boxes and put
them back, Strengthened out a part
OF his disarranged stock, put away
some shoes he had been showing
another customer, busted off a
counter and cleaned his finger nails
and then came back and took an
other look at the foot of the teach.
eT who was still busy talking shop.
Then he went away again and af-
ter ne had fddled around for ten or
tlfteen minutes more, the teacher
suddenly decided that she was be.
ing neglected and became impa.
tlent. She decided to show that
clerk that though he was Topeka
clerk and she was from the country
She wasn't afraid of him and she
called sharply to him, 81 came in
here to buy pair of shoes; will
you have the goodness to tell me
when you are going to fit me3" T
will, madam" replied the clerk as
politely as it is possible for clerk
to pc, 81 will, madam, when you
pull up your stocking far enough
to let me get at your foot" Man

Democratic Paper at kiowa

F. F. Perry has taken the initial
steps toward establishing a weekly
democratic paper at Kiowa which
he will operate in connection with
his law practice. The order for
type and machinery was placed
last week and the first number of
the paper is promised about March
1st, and probably earlier.
The Index is glad to see demo-
cratic paper at Kiowa and antici-
pates that the venture will be a
success. For fifteen years The In
dex has been fighting the party's
battles in Barber county, unassisted
by any other newspaper and it had,
on an average, five republican an
tagonists. We welcome Bro. Perry
to our assistance and hope the new
paper will be beacon light to
those of the south end who are still
in political darkness.
