THIS is CERTAIN.
The Proof That Durango Reader
Cannot Deny.

What could furnish stronger evil
dence of the efficiency of any remedy
than the test of time? Thousands of
people testify that Doan's Kidney Pills
cure permanently.
Home endorsement should prove un-
doubtedly the merit Of this remedy.
Years ago your friends and neighbors
testified to the relief they had derived
from the use of Doan's Kidney Pills.
They now confirm their testimonials.
They say time has completed the test.

Colo, says: For two or three years
my kidneys did not their work prop
erly and at times the pains in my
back became almost unbearable.

To "tell the truth and shame the

that Ouida, the Russian lady novelist,
must believe in the saying, for she
wrote the most shameful things about
her sex, and now comes Authoress

brain but, being woman, a well

The members of the charter conven-
tion are to be congratulated on the
promptness they have shown in get
ting down TO the actual work of writ
ing the charter. Especially are they
to be congratulated for having so
speedily and so harmoniously settled
the fundamental question as to wheth-
er the charter TO be written shall
provide for the pure commission or
for the pure commission system.
That debatable question being out
of the way, there should be left no
possibility Of serious disagreements.
What remains is but the working out
of the various details. This involves
a vast amount of labor, but all in the
line of working out the system that
was laid down last night in the adop-
ton of the Roof resolution providing
for the pure commission system.
The Leader sincerely believes, too,
that the adoption of this resolution
was a wise move. The pure commits
sion system is undoubtedly what the
people want. There was very grave
doubt whether any other system would
have been approved by them at the
polls.
Mr.. Burton's plan for mixed COM
mission and legislative council system
might possibly work all right, but
it contains the old principle of divis
ion Of power and diffusion of re-
sponsibilities, which has proved SO vi
cious in so many cities in years past.
The commission system in its pure
form, on the other hand, is in success
full operation in scores of cities, and
in not one of them have the fears of
those who believed it provided for an
unhealthy concentration of power
proved well founded. In not one COM
mission city has there been anything
like a general demand for return
10 the old system of divided powers
and responsibilities. If there were
this demand, the commission system

city the people have absolute power
to amend or to abrogate altogether
their charter-but in no case has there
been even any thought of such dras-
action nix1GAAIA
With decision reached on the
form of the charter, with the dele
gates all harmonious, all eager to
finish their work and to write char
ter that shall prove satisfactory to
the people, Pueblo is indeed IN q most
happy situation. 1t can be predicted
without much fear of contradiction
that well within the limit of sixty
days the people will be presented with
one of the most up to date charters
yet submitted to any city.--Puebio

OLD YALE CARSMEN
APPROVE OF EXPANSION
Veterans of Boats of Other Years
Favor More Races for Yale Men.

That the old Yale oarsmen are SOL
idly back of Captain frost in his new
policy Of extended competition for the
crew is demonstrated by a number of
opinions from captains of Yale Fights
who have been heard on the subject.
Richard Armstrong, captain of the
Yale crew IN 1895, is enthusiastically
in favor of the new plan He says in
part: Concerning Yale and Prince
ton meeting on the water, [ take great
pleasure in saying that 1 am unqual-
ifiedly in favor of their doing SO. 1t
has always seemed to me that we have
fallen far short of gerrrng all there
was to be had out Of rowing. This,
I think has been due to causes be-
yond control, such as lack of boat
house facilities, etc. more than any
thing else; but such causes have now
been largely removed and there seems
to be every reason for widening the
field of competition.
TT is very fortunate, too, that just
at this time when Yale can expand

control, no tide or current, not af

every description, from singles to
elGntS, could De run OH on THIS course
in a manner satisfactory to both con-
testants and observers.
With the chance to enter a wide
range OF events and the facilities to
train for them a much larger number
of men would unquestionab1y come
out and learn much about rowing that
would be invaluable both as a source
of pleasure to them and strength to
the crews.
up to the present time, for causes
mentioned above and for lack of a, sat

Fights have been really developed,
leaving singles, pairs and tours out of

Fights, but singles, pairs and tours,

Among the other noted Yale oars
men who believe in open competition
are included Captains Appleton. SO,
