CITY CLERK RENTS FULL
QUOTA OF POLLING PLACES

City Clerk Connolly has already en-
gagged a full quota of polling places
for the elections this fall. The task
has been by no means easy as there
are nine more districts in Newark this
year and also four parties taking part
in the primaries. With the rapid ad-
vance in taxable values of property
in Newark and the consequent in
crease in rentals, the opportunity fol-
obtaining desirable locations within
this limit of cost is by no means what
1t used to be.
The maximum rental is $50 and this
amount covers the use of the premises
for registry days as well as for the
primaries and general election.

PREDATORY BEES.
How They Stole All the Goodness
From Neighbours Pears.

Santa Rosa Republican: If you
have any wild, woolly and untamed
bees of the Mustang variety, who
range at wili wherever blossoms yield
honey, you had better "shoo 'em
away" or lawsuit may result.
In Justice A. j. Atchinson's court
Monday such suit occupied the
courts attention for several hours.
Thomas Johnson, fruit dryer of
Glen Ellen, brought suit against V.
Gordanker of that vicinity for the
destruction of 6% tons of drying
pears by bees alleged to have their
habitat in trees on the premises of
the latter. The ad damnum was
placed at $24O.
From the testimony of Johnson it
would seem that bees, yellow Jackets
and humble bees are more or less
fond of ripe, luscious fruit that is
full of saccharine.
Also that the worst marauder of
the bunch is the wild bee of the
range who makes his hive in a hol-
low tree and raids the neighborhood
for sustenance. He is particularly
fond of fresh slices of fruit at it
comes from the "fumigatoG" because
it is warm, soft and juicy. Pears he
just dotes on.
Various witnesses agreed that on
the lands of Gordanker swarm OF
bees was located, only about three
fourths of mile from the scene of
Johnson's fruit-curing operations
The depredations being reported
Johnson said he watched the bees
departing at evening and they went
like homing pigeons straight to the
trees on the Gordanker ranch.
Admitting that the bees Of Other
neighbors were occasional visitors
and that they might have done some
damage also, it was the fellows
caught, or observed, with the
goods" that he accused of doint
damage to the above amount.
No decision had been arrived a
in the premises at the time of goinl
to press.

HIS IDENTITY A MYSTERY.
FOur-Year-Old Boy Claimed BY Both
Parties.

New Orleans, April 24.-Mystery
still surrounds the finding at Colum-
bia, Miss, of boy believed by Mr..
and Mrs. c. P. Dunbar of Opelousas,
La, to be their four-year old child,
kidnapped last August.
w. c. Walters, a tinker, in whose
possession the boy was found, con-
tends that the child is the son of a
woman living at Barnesviile, n. c.,
and that the little fellow had been
tramping with him for some time
before the date of the kidnapping at
Opelousas. Walters has given the
Mississippi state authorities the
names of many persons in several
states who, he says, saw the child
with him long before the Dunbar boy
disappeared.
Governor Brewer of Mississippi has
been so much impressed with Wal
ters' story that he has declined to
honor the requisition of the Louisi-
ana authorities, who have issued a
warrant for Walters, until a search
ing investigation is completed. The
Louisiana statutes provide hanging
for all concerned in Kidnapping.
The Dunbars say they have identi-
fled the child by numerous marks on
the boys body. They now have the
boy and are on their way to Opelou-
sas, believing the environment of his
former home will awaken his mem
ory, which hav apparently been
dulled by cruelty and exposure.

10000 VOICES!
And Many Are the Voices of Ashland
People.

Thirty thousand voices! What
grand chorus! And that's the num-
ber of American men and women
who are publicly praising Doan's
Kidney Pills for relief from back
ache, kidney and bladder ills. They
say it to friends. They tell it in the
home papers. Ashland people are in
this chorus. Here's an Ashland case:
A. B. Scofield, 1887 North Main
street, Ashland, Ore, says: "Doan's
Kidney Pills gave me great relief
from a bad attack of kidney disease.
l am now free from all symptoms of
the trouble. The backache and kid
ney weakness left me soon after
used Doan's Kidney Pills" Di"
Mr.. Scofield is only one of many
Ashland people who have gratefully
endorsed Doan's Kidney Pills. If
your back aches, if your kidneys
bother you, don't simply ask for a
kidney remedy-ask distinctly for
Doan's Kidney Pills, the same that
Mr.. Scofield had-the remedy backed
by home testimony. soc at all stores
