CAN'T BE SEPARATED.
Some Johnson City People
Have Learned How to Get
Get Rid of Both.

Backache and kidneyache are twin bro
thers.
You can't separate them.
And you can't get rid of the backacht
until you cure the kidneyache.
Ifthe kidneys are well and strong, the
rest of the system is pretty sure to be in Wig
orous health.
Doan's Kidney Pills make strong, heal
thy kidneys.
E. s. Wolfe, Spring and Maple Streets.
Johnson City, Tenn, says: In 1909 |
publicly recommended Doan Kidney Pills
and at this time gladly do so again.
There was a dull, heavy pain in the small
of my back that clung to me for some time
and the secretions from my kidneysswere ir-
regular in passage, especially at night. l
used several remedies that were highly rec
commended for troubles Of this kind, but
nothing proved suitable until got Doan's
Kidney Pills from the Whitehouse Drug
Co. This preparation restored me to good
health and drove all symptoms OF kidney
complaint from my system" 6

VIM. ROBERTSON SABIN.

To The Journal and Tribune
The article in The Journal ant
Tribune of yesterday and the
statement quoted from the Colum-
bia State relative to w. h. Sabin
who met tragic death last Tues
day at Orangeburg, S. c., needs
some correction.
Only one brother, Archie D.,
has died, who was a student in
Maryville college at time of his
death by meningitis in 1908.
Am glad to be able to say he
leaves two brothers alive instead
of one, the oldest of the family,
Albert S., who is married and
lives in South Carolina, and Guy
F., named after his father, who
lives with his mother in Fountain
City, Tenn.
His mother is the only daugh.
ter of the late DR.. w. X. Sewer,
of Jonesboro, Tenn, who died in
1882, and he was the nephew OF
the Rev. DR.. Nathan Bachman.
The Columbia State says: "The
cause of the shooting is not posi-
lively known, but family trouble
is said to be behind the affair"
This is an exceedingly uufortu-
nate and misleading statement,
calculated to leave in the minds
of those not acquainted with Mr..
Sabin the impression that this
noble young man had proba bly,
been guilty of some grave moral
wrong.
His moral character is absolute
ly unimpeachable. The facts in
the case, as they doubtless will
ultimately be made known, will
free him from the least suspicion
of moral taint.
Honest, pure, kind, polite, peace
able and energetic, he was a most
exemplary and valuable citizen.
/ can think of no truly manly
virtue that did not belong to him.
His mother, brothers and his
hosts of friends have the consola-
ton that the dear departed estab-
lished spotless christian charac-
ter and that he now knows expe-
-imentally the meaning of the
Savior's vows: Blessed are the
pure in heart, for they shall see
God" CALVIN A. DUNCAN.

LOCAL TALENT
IN READINESS
CHARACTERS ARE PREPARED
All Is Now In Readiness for the
Greatest Musical Treat This
City Has Known IN Years

A special rehearsal of the cho-
ruses, both music and dancing,
was held last night by the mem
bers of the cast of princess Bon
ME-" the opera which will be Civ
en- at the Soldiers Home on May
10. From the way it looks now,
not many more rehearsals would
be be necessary to give a thor
oughly enjoyable performance.
The practices for several weeks
past have been principally of the
music; and now that Prof. Hough
has gotten the members of the
cast so we'll drilled in the scores,
they have been turned over to J.
E. Leath for dramatic training.
The characters are now Begin
ming to "live" their parts, and it
grows more interesting as they
progress. Unfortunately neither
Bob Lyle nor ]. A. Slaughter get
seriously injured in the duel they
are going to fight in the second
act. 1t is not often one finds as
accomplished as singer as Mrs
Akin who combines such dranat-
ic ability with rare voice; the
role of Kitty Clover could not be
better placed than it is with Miss
Leone Wagner. Our reporter
tried to find out more about Miss
Stivers, who is to sing the lead
ing role, but the reports given to
him by those who know contain
ed so many sincerely superlative
adjectives that he couldn't re-
member them. Admiral Pomposo
is we'll cast in Mr.. Cooke, Ed
Dunn as Captain Tarpaulin is an
actor who has been there before,
and Bob Lyle is sure-enough
/" Shrimps." A feature of the
performance is going to be the
comedy of Fred Hoss and Bob
Lyle; but that chorus will be
bigger feature than that.

EIGHT BURN TO DEATH
IN FIRE IN ROANOKE

Roanoke, Va, April Mrs.
]. H. Num- and seven children,
ranging in age from five to TWEEN
ty-two, were burned to death in a
fire which destroyed their home
in southwest Roanoke at an early
hour this morning. Three of the
total of ten children escaped by
leaping from windows. Mrs.
Num- was a widow, her husband
having died a year ago.
From the scant details obtain
able it appears that very little
property damage resulted from
the blaze, which was soon extin-
guised after the arrival of the fire
department.

THANKFUL
JURY WAS TAMPERE1 WITH
Til Rupe Was Seen Talking to
Some of the Jurors and Knew
Trial Will Be Asked For

One of the most enjoyable enter
tainments that have been given in
Johnson City was the Mock Court
Trial held last night at the Hippo
drome under the direction of the
well known lecture lawyer, Col.
Newton, of Worcester, Mass.
This entertainment was given un-
der the auspices of the Johnson City
Library association, an organization
which will deserve the support of
our progressive citizens.
The library association recognizes
the fact that the success of the en-
tertainment lay in the hands of its
friends; and for the gallant and COM
petent way in which they met the
situation, the association feels deeply
grateful. There is great deal of
kindliness in human nature, FORUM
ately, or many worthy causes would
fail. This is one of the times
where such kindliness was conspicu-
ously exercised, and the library is the
beneficiary. The association wishes
to extend its thanks to all who took
part in the performance. especially to
the young ladies who so gracefully
sustained their parts, to Mr.. Prosser
who accepted and most agreeably
filled the undesirable role of defend
ant in a breach of promise suit and
to the attorneys and witnesses who
ably assisted in discovering the real
merits of the case. After hearing
its testimony arguments, and Judge
Williams charge, the verdict of the
jury convinced the audience that a
most remarkable jury had sat upon
the case.
The fact that no rehearsal could
be held on account of the late ar
rival of Col. Newton, proves that
the judgment of the committee in
charge was not at fault in assigning
the various robes. Each person sus-
tanned his part with case and natur-
alness. The good will erinced by
various other citizens is especially
appreciated. The library association
hereby acknowledges its indebted
less to Mr.. Cy H. Lyle, who so
gave free advertising Of
heir entertainment; to Mr.. L.
Armbrust, who managed the fnan-
:es; to Mr.. Amzi Smith, who let
lis light shine freely for the occasion:
o the Sterchi Furniture company
or chairs; to Armbrust-Smith- Par
lis company for stage furniture and
o the general public for its liberal
'atronage.
