The testimony is from this locality.
The proof convincing.
A. ]. Wood, 1888 N. Front ST., Sa-
lem, Ore, says: About two months
ago I began to suffer from kidney
and bladder trouble. The kidney Sc
cretions were too frequent and pain
full in passage and caused me much
annoyance. 1 had often heard Doan's
Kidney Pills highly recommended and
thinking they might prove of bene-
fit. / got a box. l can say that the
use of the contents rid me of every
symptom of kidney complaint. I
strongly advise other kidney suffer-
ers to give this remedy a trial"
The above statement was given jan
uary 80, 1906 and was confirmed on
November 20, 1909, by Mr.. Wood He
said: "The statement I gave in 1906

When court opened this morning
there was no intimation that the ac-
cused would make a confession. His
attorneys had fought stubbornly
since the beginning of the case to
break down the strong evidence de-
veloped by the prosecutions little
girl witnesses.
Immediately after court opened to-
day attorneys of both sides consult
ed, resulting in an agreement to let
Vaughn confess in an effort to save
his own life and that the case would
go to the jury without argument.
"I have acted devilishly, I have
acted shamelessly,' began Vaughn.
"The devil tempted me and I have
fallen"
He pleaded eloquently, but vainly,
with the jury to save his life.
Vaughn begged the jury to spare
his life, not so much for his sake as
for his wife and little daughter.
Neither Mrs. Vaughn nor her
daughter were in court to-day, though
they had been with the accused since
the trial opened. He was for many
years superintendent of the First
Baptist Church Sunday-school, one
of the largest and most fashionable
in this city. He.was a ministerial
student and frequently occupied pull
pits of churches in and around
Greenville. He owns considerable
property.

form that the intervention of the
band was necessary to enable Cover
nor Johnson and Mr.. Straus TO begin
their speeches.
Colonel Roosevelt reached the hall
at e:15, while Governor Johnson was
still speaking. His passage through
the streets was greeted with cheering
that penetrated the hall and brought
an answering cheer
AS he came up onto the platform
through the rear stairway the Garden
became bedlam OF sound and a
mass Of waving color. With a broad
smile the Colonel stepped forward
and waved his hand in salute. The
cheers grew in volume His gestures
for the crowd to be seated intensified
the noise. He insisted upon standing
IN his effort to bring the crowd to
order.
Long Demonstration.
The demonstration for the Colonel
lasted forty-two minutes. He, after
request to the police to keep order
in the hall, began speaking. His
speech was summary of the princi-
pies of the new party, a declaration
that these principles are not new, and
an insistence that the party's plat
form has been made clear. No men
ton of his wound or of his absence
from the campaign was made.
Was Guarded En- Route.
So as to have ample time to rest
after his trip from Oyster Bay, be-
fore his speech making task of the
night, Colonel Roosevelt left Saga
more Hill by mid afternoon and
reached New York at $40 o'clock.
From the train he went at once to
the home of DR.. Alex Lambert in
East 31st street, near Madison Square
Garden. The Colonel and Mrs.
Roosevelt too kdnner with DR.. Lam
bert and remained there until the
hour for the meeting. After dinner
DIR. Lambert dressed Colonel Roose-
velt's wound and pronounced him in
fit shape for his evenings work.
Colonel Roosevelt, accompanied by
Mrs. Roosevelt, went by automobile
from Sycamore Hill to the station at
Oyster Bay. They made the trip to
New York in private car under the
protection of three detectives.
The police and the private detect
ives retained to protect Colonel
Roosevelt, took every precaution for
his safety. Policemen were scatter
ed along the way from the station to
DR.. Lambert's house and there were
a dozen men on guard while the
Colonel was within.

Greenville, S. c., Oct. 26.-Found
guilty of criminally assaulting three
little girls in the South Carolina Odd
Fellows Home, of which he was su-
perintendent, the Rev. Thurston o.
Vaughn, once prominent as a minis
ter, will pay the penalty OF his mis-
deeds with his life.
The trial was brought to a sensa-
tional close when Vaughn broke
down and confessed. He named two
other victims in addition to those in
cluded in the indictment. The jury,
out but four minutes, made no rec
concentrations of mercy.
''The motion for a new trial was
over-ruled by Judge Purdy and the
prisoner was. sentenced to electrocu-
ton in the State Prison at Columbia
on December 90"
Tears streamed down the face of
Judge Purdy, named by Governor
Blease as special judge for this trial.
Many jurors, court officials and spec
tators alike made no pretense of hid
ing their tears, as Vaughn, pale and
broken, acknowledged his crime.

amphitheatre. His right hand, be-
cause of the wound In his right side,
was scarcely moved in gestures, al
though he tapped with emphatically
several times upon the railing. He
gestured vigorously with his left
arm throughout his speech. The
crowds about Madison Square Garden
were orderly, but the police exer-
cised extreme care. Six men were
arrested during the evening within
and without the hall for refusing to
obey the strict orders as to open
aisles and against tover-crowding. The
scenes in the neighboring streets and
squares were such as only big politi-
cal demonstrations call forth. Col
Roosevelt, when he arrived, was
strongly guarded, and although the
fashlight men got a picture or two
was allowed to approach when the
Colonel left his automobile. He was
escorted into the building by way of
f1re-escape and left the building by
the same route.
johnson and Straus Speak.
A crowd that jammed Madison
Square Garden from door to roof and
overf1owed through three blocks of
surrounding streets greeted the lead
ers of the Progressive party at the
mass meeting marking the first pub
lie appearance of Colonel Roosevelt
since the attack made upon him in
Milwaukee, October IA.
Governor Hiram W. Johnson, can
didate for Vice-Presidnt, and Oscar
S. Straus, candidate for Governor of
New York, spoke to the immense
crowd before Colonel Roosevelt
reached the hall.
A sea of waving bandanas and a
great chorus of yells greeted the can
didates as they appeared upon the
platform, and it was 8:20 before Sem
ator Jos. M. Dixon, chairman of the
national committee, could gain order
and present Mr.. Straus as the first
speaker.
Mr.. Straus spoke but a few min
utes. He declared Roosevelt, when he
appointed him Secretary of Com
merce and Labor, had told him to
"tilt the balance in favor of human
ity."

Causes Much Speculation.

Washington. ID. c.. Oct. 2s.-Ths
illness of Vice President Sherman
and speculation over possibilities OF
his withdrawal from the Republican
ticket. because OF his health. caused
discussion here to-day over what
methods would be taken OF filing his
place IL necessary. The general opin-
ion expressed was that the Repubii-
can National Committee would hli q
vacancy upon the ticket
No one here processes 10 know
whether the Chicago convention spe-
cifcally provided for such an emer-
gency. The report of the 1908 con-
vention does not appear TO show that
such a provision was made and the
stenographic report OF the convention
this year has not yet been printed.
Should vacancy occur on the Re
publican ticket either before or af-
ter election, some Republican leaders
to-day argued the electors would have
power to vote for any candidate for
Vice-President they might choose.
Presidents were admitted TO be lack
Ing, but IL was declared only party
discipline and honor had in the past
bound electors to vote for their party
nominee
No one suggested. however, that q
choice by the Republican National
Committee or It's Executive Commit
tee would fail TO receive the support
OF the Taft electors.
Ordinarily, should there be no

New York, Oct. 30.-Showing no
physical evidence of the shock of his
attempted assassination In Milwau-
kee October IA, Colonel Theodore
Roosevelt tonight faced for an hour
and twenty minutes a Progressive po-
litical rally which gave many thou
sands of his fellow New Workers a
chance to accord an uproarious well
come.
For forty-two minutes after his en-
trance into the crowded Madison
Square Garden, Colonel Roosevelt
stood at the edge of the high speak
ers platform, unable to make himself
heard above the immense din of
cheers, songs and band music.
I'VE Want Teddy"
His gestures to the crowd for sill
ence served only to intensity the
noises, and when after twenty min
utes of cheering Colonel Roosevelt
determined to begin his speech the
immense audience was swung off into
another period of cheering by the be-
ginning of the chant:
I'VE want Teddy"
1--WE want Teddy"
Colonel Roosevelt then refused to
sit down or to leave the rail that
edged the f1imsy platform. Senator
Dixon and Governor Johnson urged
him to be seated, but he maintained
his standing position throughout the
entire demonstration; and when op-
portunity finally came for him to be-
gin his speech, he began it with a
request to the police to maintain or
der.
Given Strict Attention.
The attention and silence that
greeted the address by Col. Roose-
yelt was as marked as the demonstra-
ton that preceded it. At the first at
tempts to interrupt with applause the
Presidential candidate motioned i'm
peratively with his left hand for sill
ence; and he accompanied this ges-
tude with shake of the head, which
made the crowd understand his de-
sire to be allowed to speak without
interruption. The immense garden
was crowded to it's doors and thou
sands of persons were turned away.
Governor Hiram Johnson, Progress
i've candidate for Vice-President, and
Oscar S. Straus, candidate for Cover
nor of New York, preceded Colonel
Roosevelt.
Voice Full and Clear.
Colonel Roosevelt adhered to the
text of his prepared speech, without
changing scarcely a word throughout.
