RENEWED TESTIMONY

No one in Durango who suffers
backaches, headaches, or distressing
urinary ills can afford to ignore this
Durango mans twice told story. 1t is
confirmed testimony that no Duran
20 resident can doubt.
John Palcis. PAT Fifth Ave, says:
my back panied me constantly
When l stopped over, sharp, cutting
pains caught me across my back and
when | rested, dull aching centered
there. My kidneys were out of order
and did not act as they should. The
kidney secretions were too free in
passage. / was told to try Doan's
kidney Pills and took them. Doan's
soon relieved me and before long had
cured me of the attack" (Statement
given January 10, 1879
ADDED PRAISE
On April 8, 1917, Mr.. Palcis said:
"I have had but little need of kid
ney medicine for the last few years.
Doan's Kidney Pills cured me of
every symptom of kidney trouble"

DEATH OF HIGHLY
ESTEEMED PIONEER

The passing of Mrs. Charles New
man last night brought sorrow to
hundreds of friends who had loved
and reverenced this noble woman.
While her condition had been criti-
cal for two months, everyone who
shared her acquaintance refused to
abandon hope for her recovery. Every
thing that medical skill or loving
hands could do was done to restore
her health. When her condition fail
ed to respond to treatment here she
was taken to California by her daugh-
ter, Mrs. Lloyd Sheets, where it ap-
peared she had better prospects to
recuperate in that balmy climate. Less
than two weeks after her arrival on
the coast the end came.
The late Mrs. Newman had been
one of the most prominent women
in the San Juan basin for more than
two score years. She became the
bride of the late Senator Charles
Newman in Kansas in the '70's. Their
first home was at Del Norte, where
her husband was engaged in busi-
ness. 1t was there their first child
was born. Later they moved to Sill
verton and thence to Animas City,
then the county seat of La Plata
When Durango was started in the
early SOS, they took up their abode
here, the Newman residence on the
Boulevard being one of the first
commodious dwellings built in the
town. This had been the family home
continuously since.
The late Mrs. Newman was an
ideal wife and mother and loyal
friend. She was a woman whose re-
ligion entered into her everyday life.
Her homo was famed for its gracious
hospitality.
About ten years ago her husband
passed away. The only surviving
members of her immediate family
circle are her two daughters, Mrs.
Lloyd Sheets and Mrs. John Herr,
both of Bayfield,. The former was
with her when the end came.
Arrangements have been made to
bring the remains here for burial.
Funeral arrangements are held in
allegiance awaiting word from Mrs.
Sheets.
