People with kidney ills want to be cured. When one suffers the tortures of an aching back, relief is eagerly sought for. There are many remedies today that relieve, but not permanently. Deans Kid uey Pills have brought lasting results to thousands. Here is proof of merit from this vicinity:
 F. A. Sutton, tent and awning dealer, Room 6, Capitol Hotel Bldg Salem, Oregon, says: 'I had Kid ney trouble and rheumatism for ten years and sometimes l was laid up, Doctors did not help me. Sharp pains extended through my back and were most severe in my kidneys and Joins. Often when working, I had to give up. I lost weight and was in very poor health. l had headaches, rest ed but little at night and did not know what to do. On a friends ad- vice I tried Doan's Kidney Pills and to my surprise, they brought a great improvement ina few days. continued to get better steadily. got more sleep, my appetite improv- ed and the pains gradually, but surely left me. After I had used three boxes of Deans Kidney Pills, was in better health than I had been for ten years and not a sign of kidney complaint remained. The cure had been permanent. gladly confirm the endorsement I gave Doan's Kidney Pills several years ago"

 CATHOLIC ASSOCIATION

Boston, Oct. 21-Nearly one hun dred bishops and archbishops and other high church dignitaries arriy- ed in Boston last week to attend the greatest and most important Catholic event held in America this year. The event is the second con- gress of the Catholic Missionaries Association. The first congress was held in Chicago in 1908 and the second was to have been held in Boslon last year. Owing to the fact that the Eucharistic Congress was held that year in Montreal, it was postponed until this year The congress opened at the Cathedral of the Holy Cross Saturday. All the bishops and archbishops of America were in attendance. All the sessions will be secret except ing the minor public ones to be held at Lowell and other surrounding cities. The opening mass was celebra ted by Apostlic Delegate Bonzano, of Washington Cardinal O'ConneI is one of the chief figures at the con gress. He preached the sermon opening religious services.

TAXING CARE OF WOMEN
 OF FIFE BARBAR0 COAST

When the San Francisco retormeTs who closed Up the Barbary Coast, started on their campaign of purifi- cation a few weeks ago, they thought of an unusual thiug-and they plan ned to take care Of the hundreds of women who had been making their living in the local teuderlOin, and who would be thrown out of work k' when the teuderlOin closed.
 Accordingly few individuals who had been prominently identified with the movement which finally forced tho polise commissioners to put the lid on the coast made the rounds of members of women's clubs, church societies and other organiza- tious to whose demand the police commissioners had bowed, asking DO sitious for such of the denizens of the district who might want honest work at fair wages.
 Then the women were visited nd asked what they were willing to do. Of the 303 women whose answers were made public by the inyestiga- tors. twenty nine elected to con- ruue in the old life either tG San Francisco or elsewhere; thirty were undecided what to do; twenty said they intended To leave the city; one announced she was going to enter am old ladies home; eleven were willing to dc anything; twenty-siX said they would do most anything that paid a living wage" sixteen de clared they would return to their former homes. and the others eX- pressed preference for occupations IS follows.

ENGLISH WARSHIP
 LAUNCHED AT PORTSMOUTH

Portsmouth, Eng, Oct. 21-The costliest, speediest, most power fuI super-Dreadnaught in the world, the Queen Elizabeth, was launch ed at the royal dockyard here Fri day, the naming ceremony being performed by Lady Moux, wife Of Admiral Sir .Hodworth MOux, coni- mander-in-chief of the Portsmouth naval station. The Queen Eliza beth" and her four sister ships now under construction, comprise the very latest word in battleship build ing. Each will cost when complet- ed $1I,75O,OOO, will have a speed of 25 knots an hour, and will be provided with ten 15-inch guns cap able of throwing a brOadside fire of l5,6OO lbs. They will burn no coal whatever, relying upon fuel en- tirely from oil which will be stored between the outer and inner skins. Each will carry more than mil lion gallons of oil. The guns will have an extreme range of 22 miles, and experts say they will be able to penetrate the thickest armor yet made at a range 50 per cent great CT than that at which any naval action is likely to be fought. The enormous advance in warship con- struction as represented by these vessels is indicated by the fact that the original Dreadnaught, cOmplet- ed only seven years ago, had a broadside limit of only $500 lbs The big increase in both offensive and defensive armament was made

Ism CABE STORE
HAS A BIRTHDAY
Forty third Anniversary of the
Stores Opening Being OBJ
served With Sale.

The 43rd anniversary OF the open
ing of the L. S. McCabe & Co.'S store,
1713-1721 Third avenue, was observed
today with big sale and celebration,
which will also continue next week,
closing Saturday.
Forty-three years of constant growth
was that of the big department store.
In 1870 L. S. McCabe began business
in very small room. The business
gradually increased, the store space
being made larger gradually, until
from a small room, the store has
grown to occupy a floor space of $500
square feet, more than two and one
eighth acres.
Today many single departments are
larger than the whole store was when
it first opened Some sections are
even five times as large as the store
was in 1870 From three employees. 43
years ago, the number has grown to
over 30O
The store has many conveniences
including a sub U. S. postal station,
rest and reading rooms, information
bureau, check stand, long distance
telephone, telegraph office and tea
room, where hot lunches are served
all day, including noon day lunches.
The opening day of the 4Srd ami
versary sale thus far gives indications
of far exceeding any other. From the
time the doors opened this morning
people thronged to the store. Hun,
dreds of valuable souvenirs were Civ
en- out today as is the usual custom
at these anniversaries.
People within radius of 100 miles
attend the anniversary sales and cele
bration at this store and promises are
that during the coming week the
store will be filed with large mum
Der of people as it was today.

MILLION DOLLARS
FOR ROCK ISLAND
This Enormous Sum Would Build
6ouleVards, Parks, Hospitals
and Libraries.

The city Of Rock Island will save
more than 100000 in the next six or
seven years through the lower rates
offered by the Tri-City Automatic Tele-
phone company. The average rates of
the Automatic Telephone company will
be at least SIS per telephone per year
lower than those of the Bell telephone
trust and il Rock Island has, as many
telephones as a number of other cit
les, in proportion to the population, it
would have over 10000 telephones. A
saving on each of these 10000 tele-
phones of SIS each would amount to
Si50,0o0 each year, or $1,000, 900 in a
little over six years.
Low Rates for Professional Men.
The Automatic Telephone company
viii offer individual line mot a party
line) business telephone as low as 81
per month, and residence party line
telephones as low as cents a day.
However, these low rate telephones
are limited as to the amount OF use
The merchant who uses his telephone
almost constantly should pay more
than the doctors and other profession.

al men who use the telephone CON-
paratively little.
Hard on the Telephone Trust.
BY using Automatic telephones the
cost of operators will be eliminated,
and with the wires mostly buried I'M
derground the maintenance cost be-
comes very small. This reduces the
cost to a minimum. In competition
with the Automatic telephone the Bell
telephone trust will stand little show,
even if it gives it's service away. No
body will use the anticipated Bell
telephone when they can get the Auto
matte telephone service, which is in
comparably better, being almost in
Simultaneous, very accurate and relia-
BILE and as stated above, very low in
cost.
Monopolies Cause High Prices.
Everybody knows that a trust or
monopoly charges exceedingly high
rates and says: The public be damn
ed" There is no trust in America
which has treated the people in such
a contemplate high-handed manner as
has the Bell Telephone company. The
company has taken hundreds of thous-
ands of dollars from Rock Island citi-
zens and given in return rotten service
and insolent treatment-(Adv)

Investigation Shows That Little

A new problem and a most serious
one. now confronts/ the investors In
the stock of the defunct Western I'M

In addition to losing the entire amount
of their investment, s343,500, they are
further threatened with the possibility
Of being called upon for an assessment
to pay off the liabilities of the COM
pany, amounting to over 100000.
Although the assets are scheduled at
S3S, 900, IL is generally known that
they will bring but fraction OF the
amount at a forced sale. One man
we'll versed in the affairs of the COM

nation that they would no. bring over
$4,000 at the most.

puts them In a serious predicament
Under the Iowa laws stockholders are
responsible to the face value OF all
such stock for the indebtedness OF the

Of that state read: "Shares are as

PROSPERS AS AN
ORANGE GROWER
DR.. w. H. Ludewig Has a Great
Orchard Down in
Florida.

The Foley (Ala.,) Outlooker has the
following relative to the successful
orange growing of DR.. w. H. Ludewig,
formerly of this city:
"A trip to DR.. W. H. Ludewig's 20
acre satsuma orange orchard north
west of town, which is said to be the
finest orchard of its age on the gulf
coast, is well worth the effort.
1T contains nearly 1000 thrifty,
we'll cared for trees, which are in their
first year of bearing, and while they
are not heavily burdened with fruit,
the fruit that is on them is exception
ally fine, smooth. thin skinned and of
good size. 1t is estimated that the
yield will be around 1900 crates and
he will ship about two carloads.
Picking will begin the latter part
of this week and care will be used
to deliver to the market a perfect
fruit.
DIR. Ludewig will see 20 it, that
the pickers- all wear the regulation
cotton gloves, so that the tender fruit
is not injured by the finger nails.
That specially designed nippers
will be used to clip the fruit.
"All fruit will be lain in cloth lined
picking baskets. Dropping the fruit
into the baskets will be prohibited
The oranges will be held in the
curing room for four or five days in
order to season and tougher the skins
for shipping.
"All oranges will be sorted to uni
form size by running through a sizing
machine, then graded TO perfects and
russets.
Each orange will be wrapped in
tissue and packed IN the Texas sat
sur.a box.
The doctor has christened his place
The Agogos Orchard
He also has about 10 grape fruit
| trees that are well laden with fine
! fruit. One tree carries a cluster OF
seven large ones which is an excep
tional sight for a young tree"
