fer nor to remain in danger when all
diseases and aches and pains due to
weak kidneys can be quickly and per-
manently cured bv the use of Doan's
Kidney Pills. Here is a Lexington
citizens recommendation.
Mrs. Lena Amick, of Lexington, S.
c., says: Il can say that I have found
Doan's Kidney Pills to be a very good
kidney remedy. I suffered great 'eal
from kidney complaint and although
I used a number of remedies, did not
receive much relief. Not long ago I
heard about Doan's Kidney Pills and
procured box at the Kaufman Drug
Co. Since using them I am feeling
better than I have in long time.
The pains in my back have lessened
and the kidney secretions are becom-
ing natural. I am glad to recommend
Doan's Kidney Pills to other persons
in return for the benefit have obtain
ed from their use."

Attorney Prepares Case
Against the McNamaras

LOS ANGELES. April 2S.-With all
the alleged details furnished by Ortie
McManigal in his confession of yes
terday, District Attorney Fredericks to-
day began preparing the States case
against John J. and James Mcnamara
on charges of dynamiting the plant of
the Los Angeles Times last October
The stenographers under FrederiCks'
personal direction, today made five
copies of the confession in which Nc
Manigal alleged that siXty-nine dynd-
miting jobs, involving property damage
1909. ''''''''''
McManigal declared that James Nc
Namara alone dynamitcd the Los An
geIes Times building and that the other
suspects. CaDlan and Schmidt, were
not in Los Angeles a the time, having
only acted as accorplices i'll securing
the necessary dynamite from the Giant
Powder Plant MrManigal declared
that James Mcnamara was actually on
train four hours out toward San
Francisco when the Times explosion OC-
CURED, but that this Temoteness from
the scene was made possible by the
clockwork apparatus attached TO the
bombs used.
McManigal asserted that John J Nc
Namara was the guiding spirit of all
the dynamitings and was also official
paymaster. John Mcnamara knew the
value of the time clock dynamitlng plan
and urged the use of this device on all
occasions, according to the confession.
McManigal declared John always point
ed out that only in this way could the
dynamiters prove an alibi.
McManigal asserted further that he
always got 5000 in advance of each eX-
ploSiOn and more later, sometimes
bringing the total payments for single
explosion up to 81 600.
McManigal was cool throughout his

BETTER TONE IN STOCK MARKET,
WITH THE OLD FAVORITES
MAKING GAINS.

NEW YORK, April 8.-Wall Street
was inclined to be a little more cheer
full and there was more inclination to
buy stocks now rather than to wait for
further reaction. The Street is be-
ginning to attribute the delay in hand
ing down the decisions in the trust
cases to a desire on the part of the
court to provide a remedy that will
make smooth the way Of the corpora
tions, doing just what was predicted
weeks ago, e. .rcising quasi legislative
powers in order to avoid hampering
business. The Reading statement for
March was out this morning with net
increase in revenue of $4,000. the most
interesting item in the report being a
large net gain from the coal and iron
company. The Street believes that this
shows the value of Readings conceal
ed assets 1t was the returns from
coal and iron that turned a net loss
from railroad operation to net gain.
Encouraging signs are found in sales
of $l0,O00,000 Interboro AZ per cent one
year notes: the sale by Kuhn. Loeb &
Co, Of s7,5Co.ooo Chicago and Northwest
ern general As, and the sale to Speyer
G. Co.. Kuhn. Loeb & Co., and others
of $10,000,000 AZ per cent gold notes of
the National Railroad Company of Mex
leo.
From everv section of the country
comes demand for bonds and there is
no trouble in making sales, provided the
bonds are of the right order. 1t is
demand from investors, from bankers
who are carrying more money in their
vaults than is consistent even with con-
servative banking methods. Savings
banks are especially anxious for their
kind of bonds. Short term notes are
getting rather scarce. most OF the rail-
roads having about exhausted their
