graft payments since 1911 and kept

HOYNE GRAFT PROBE BITES DEEP THROWS
SCARE INTO POLITICAL RANKS

The hot puzzle today in police cir
cles and politics is:
How high up will States Atty
HOyne be able to reach?
What will be HOyne's reply to the
statement to be issued by Corpora
ton Counsel EttelsOn in defense of
Chief Healey and the city admins
tration against Hoyne's charges?
Hoyne8 attacks yesterday on
Francis A. Becker, a high insider in
the Thompson-Lundin political or
ganizatiOn, had smash and daring to
them. They started excitement.
Behind the bold charges is the
record of Hoyne for convicting
two police captains and three detec-
tive sergeants of criminal shakedown
work.
And just now Hoyne is talking the
same straight and swapping way he
did just before he started in or the
milliOn-dollar burglar trust and the
ClairYOyant's ring, which ended in
five convictions and with Detective
Chief P. D. O'Brien, a personal friend
OF Chief Healey, quitting his job I'M
der the same sort of fire Hoyne is
now shooting.
Hotel, saloon and sporting house
keepers in the 21st ward ran wide
open, paid money in proportion to the
number of girls and women operating
in their places, were free from raids
by the police, and this because they
paid protection money regularly to
Francis A. Becker, according to the
HOyne charges. Becker is a member
of Republican state central commit
tee and an examiner of efficiency for
the civil service commission. Evil
dence against Becker is complete and
there is also information involving
still other higher-ups, Hoyne AYERS.

NO REST---NO PEACE

There's no peace and little rest for the one who suffers from a bad back, and distressing urinary disorders. Stafford Springs people recommend Doan's Kidney Pills. Be guided by their experience.
 Mrs. F. o. Prouty, School St., Stafford Springs, says: 1T was so crippled up with rheumatic pains that could hardly walk and at times, it was necessary to use two canes to get about My back never gave me any rest day or night. When I was on my feet, my back aohed and when I sat down, there were times when the pains became very sharp. couldn't turn in bed without being seized by that pain. Mornings l couldn't straighten up at all. Sudden spells of dizziness, pains in my head and spots before my eyes were frequent. The kidney secretions were unnatural. I finally began using Doan's Kidney Pills, procured at the Eaton Drug Store. aud they relieved me of tht lameness and pains and all the other symptoms. I can now walk as good al any body"
 Price 500, at all dealers. Don' simply ask for a kidney remedy-ge Doan's Kidney Pills the same tha Mrs. Prouty had. Foster Mlburn Co. Props, Buffalo, N. Y.

Di- plomas were given in each of the five grades and cards to those in the cradle roll who will now enter the primary class. That all the exercises had a particular meaning in the way of a fresh beginning was very clearly brought out by Pastor Parker in his excellent address to the little people. The music led by Miss Cunning stand ing in front with her violin was very sweet. There was large attendance and the half years work to commence next Sunday starts piciously.
 The funeral of Josiah Converse Sparks was held at the church Wednes- day.
