is 1T YOUR KIDNEYS?
Don't Mistake the Cause of
Your Troubles

Many people never suspect their kid
neys. If suffering from a lame, weak OF
aching back they think that it lie only a
muscular weakness; when urinary trou-
bic sets in they think it will soon correct
itself. And 30 it is with all the other
symptoms OF kidney disorders. That is
where the danger often lies. You should
realize that these troubles often lead to
dropsy Or Bright's disease. An effective
remedy for weak or diseased kidneys is
Doan's Kidney Pills. Residents of this
vicinity are constantly testifying.
Mrs.J. II. Wright, Marshfeld, Mo. says;
II suffered terribly from backache. |
also had such severe headaches and dir
ny spells that ! thought would go crazy
| vas bothered by the kidney secretions.
Finally took Doan's Kidney Pills and
the trouble was relieved and ! felt better
in every way.
Price SOC, at all dealers. Don't simply
ask for a kidney remedy get Doan's
Kidney Pills the same that Mrs. Wright
had. Foster Milburn Co., Props, Buffa-

cious looking boxes. After Sun.

and, their destination was one Of

tents of those suspicious looking
boxes were placed on the large
table on the beautiful lawn, don't

about an hour after, one could
hear groans all around the table.
The dinner was given in honor Of
Mr.. Newton's SD birthday an
nlcerSary and was attended Oy
more than 100 of his relatives
and friends. Mr.. Newton made
a brief but very appropriate talk,
After dinner many beautiful Sc.
lections were played by Miss
jewell Newton and others, after
which the Mission Temple choil
rendered some excellent voca'
misunderstanding praises to our
Master from whom all blessings
flow But the most beautiful par,

yard with a man whom they declared
was McCuller. The last that these
youths noticed the pair, they said, was
when McCuller took the lad down
into a deep ravine and started through
high concrete culvert that carries a
small stream through a big fill along
the Oberlin trolley line.
In the belief that the kidnaper may
have the lad in hiding somewhere
among the hills. searching parties
sought out every nook and Granny
near Bressler. Not a clue was un-
earthed.
While this search was being made
the stepfather came into Steelton and
swore out a warrant for McCuller's
arrest. Detective I. n. Durnbaugh
was assigned to the case.

In questioning the Renners. Detec-
tive Durnbaugh ELECTED the informa
Lion that Mrs. Renner was divorced
from her first husband, the father of
Lawrence. in Maryland about seven
years ago. At that time Lawrence
was only two years old and when the
mother remarked she gave her child
her second husbands name.
1t is one of Defective Durnbaugh's
theories that McCuller, who knew
Mrs. Renner's first husband, may be
friendly to him. If this is true the
detective believes the kidnaper stole
the lad to take him to his father.
whom the lad has not seen for years.
This belief Is strengthened by a
story the Renners tell of McCulier's
taking the lad on visit last sum
mer and not bringing him back to his
parents until Mr.. Renner went after
the lad.
McCuller did not turn up at his
work this morning and still has wages
due him from the Raymond Concrete
Pile Company.

placed in the hands of Detective l. n.

Steelton police, who with other off,
GERS are making thorough search
for the missing lad and the kidnaper.
According to the story told by
Charles l.. Renner, the lads step
father in Squire Stees' office. McCuller
had been on friendly terms with the
Renner family for years while all
were residents Of Maryland. ..
Fond of Boy -...
Last November he went to board
with the Renner family at Bressler,
the police say, but left last month
when he went to work for the Ray
firm building foundations for one of
the new blast furnaces at the Penn
sylvania Steel Plant. He has been q
frequent visitor at the Renner home,
the father said, and always showed
a marked attachment for little Law
renee.
Frequently he would bring the child
into Steelton, it is said, and upon one
occasion took the lad to the Office Of
Steelton photographer where photo
graphs were taken with the lad stand
ing by his side.
Last evening, according to the
police. McCuller told an acquaintance
that he was going to steal away the
Renner lad and take the boy to
Colorado. This threat was repeated
to the Renners, it is said. and they
were watchful over their child
throughout last night and this morn
ing.
The kidnapping
Early this morning the lad came
into the yard where his stepfather
was working in the garden. Mr. Rem
ner, busy with his work, forgot about
the threat of the evening. Lawrence
went around to the front of the house
to play. About a half hour later his
mother called to the lad and he did
not answer. The stepfather was call
ed and went in search of the lad. He
could not be found.

Railroad Benefits Large
as Result of Prosperity

Railroads throughout the country
are reaping a good share of the bene-
fits of the general prosperity of the
country. The remarkable extent of
the growth of the earnings was shown
yesterday when the Interstate Com
merce Commission announced earn
ings of 1872 leading steam roads in
March.
The commissions report showed
that these railroads earned net reve-
nues of $416 a mile during March this
year, as against S293 a mile during
the same month last year. For the
nine months ending with March this
year the roads net revenue per mile
was $3,S36, against S2,S04 for the cor
responding period of the previous year.
The Chicago and Northwestern's es-
timated gross earnings for April in
creased approximately $1,50O,0O0, IL
is said. Reports of net earnings of
the Northern Pacific, Burlingtont,
ST. Paul and Great Northern all
showed big increases in earnings for
the last fiscal year.
