AN owoSso INQUIRY
Answsred by the Statement OF An
Owosso Resident.

When FIST the long series OF reports
of OwossoS people who have been re
lieved by Doan's Kidney Pills were
published in the local press, great en-
thusiasm and interest were aroused
But Owosso is now inquiring How are
these people keeping today2 How has
the benefit they received withstood the
test of timer" For that, after all, lie
the essential test of cure. On this
point doubt can no longer exist, for
after many years those who have been
cured, emphatically declare their cures
to be lasting
William Mccarthy, COS w. Main st.,
Owosso. Mich, says: Kidney COM
plant annoyed me off and on for years.
Pain seated itself in the email Of my
back and often / was in such bad shape
that it was almost impossible for me to
get M from q chair without assistance.
/ had too frequent desire to void the
kidney secretions, but the How was
scanty and painful Reading state
ments given by local parties who had
been cured of kidney complaint by
Doan's Kidney Pills, / was induced to
give them trial. They proved to be
lust what / needed, going directly to
the root of my trouble and restoring me
to good health. Dosn's Kidney Pills
are all they are claimed to be"
Mr.. Mccarthy gave the above state
ment on March IS, 1909, and when he
was interviewed on September %, 1911,
he said: my former endorsement OF
Doan's Kidney Pills still holds good.
The cure. they made in my case has
been permanent"

Collected Insurance

Letters which Alfred w. Behrns,
formerly of this city and who was
killed in a, mine at Silverton, Colo,
in 1908, wrote to Mrs. George Fuller
then Miss Bertha Linstead of Owes
so, together with a picture Of him
self, which he sent to her, did more
than anything else to establish the
identity of the man after he was
killed and to get his insurance for
his only living heir, Fred J.. Cowlitz
a foreman in the plant of the Owes
so Manufacturing Co.
Behrns left Owosso in 1904, for
Colorado Springs where he went to
work for the Santa Fe railroad. He
gave mis- name to the foreman cor
rectly, but it was changed to Burns.
Later he went to work for the South
ern Pacific, and then the same mis-
take was made in his name. For con-
venience sake, he adopted that name
although when he took out insur-
ance, giving his note for the first
premiam, tne policy was made out to
Alfred w. Behrns. In 1908, Behrns
went to Silverton, and while he was
there a mine explosion occurred. He
went into the mine as a member of
rescue party and was killed.
Behrns was an Owosso Elk and
the local lodge received news of his
death. George B. McCaughna took
up the matter of securing the insur-
ance for Behrns heirs, and when he
went west L. A. Sanderhoff took the
work up. He employed attorneys
in the west, but they could not es-
tabllsh the identity of the man. Last
May Mr.. Sanderhoff sent Seth Pulver
west and by producing the letters
written Mrs. Fuller, by Behrns, and
by displaying the picture he nad sent
her, Mr.. Pulver established the iden-
tity of Behrns-Burns, and later es-
tablshed the heirship Of Cowlitz. AS
a result week ago the court in Col
orado made an order directing that
the insurance be paid to Cowlitz.

vided the roads are kept in good repair.
That is the reason why the state in.
spector has to 90 over the roads every
year. Work on the road north of town
has been commenced and as soon az
completed the township will get the
reward money. Mr.. Sawyer stated that
Shiawassee township was a fine one to
build roads in as the expense of grad.
ing was practically nothing compared
with other townships he had visited.
The good road proposition is growing
stronger every year and the time is not
far distant when there will be nothing
but first-class roads all over Michigan.

In the Entomoligists Monthly Mag
Azine Mr. N. H. Joy indicates an ap-
pArently little explored region for
rare" beetles. Having last year OBJ
tanned various speeies looked upon as
rare by collectors In birds nests, Mr.
Joy was led to doubt the genuine rar-
ity OF these species. He further con
cluded that II the nests Of our familiar
birds and manuals were carefully
searched many species OF beetle might
cease 70 be labeled rare in the records
OF entomology. Mr.. Joy has put his
theory to the test. and finds that
birds nests are productive OF many
rare and interesting beetles. And in
searching the nests OF smaller British
manuals this enthusiastic collector has
been even more successful. is it not
even possible that when such sltua.
tons are more carefully and exhaus-
lively searched new species OF beetle
may reward the collector?
