time, even if we hesitated to believe it
at first hearing, we feel secure in &C.
cepting it's truth now. The following

firmed after two years:
John Koch, Lawton St., Edgerton,

BILE with my back. 1t was So lame
and sore that could hardly stoop. My
kidneys didn't act regularly and the
kidney secretions were unnatural.
Doan's Kidney Pills relieved the lame
ness and pain and did me whole lot
of good. My kidneys were fixed up
in good shape and caused me no more
trouble" Statement given September
26th, 1900

What You Can Do.

You don't know what you can do. At
any rate you don't know until you're
up against 1t and have to try. Some
day you're going to bump against a
whopping bit of work. It will look Inn
possible to you. You'll want to quit.
You'll say to yourself that it simply
can't be done. And then ifsyeu are
really worth while you'll tighten your
belt and jump into it. You'll say. I've
got to do It." Then the first thing you
know it will be done. And the best
part of it is you'll enjoy it, and the sat-
isfaction that comes when it is done
will be worth more than hearing your
uncle has left you $40, 00O.-American

LONDON The American am
bassador at Vienna has been handed
the reply of the Austrian government
to the American note inquiring as TO
the position of the Austrian govern
ment in regard to unrestricted subma-
rine warfare, according to Vienna
dispatch to Reuters by way of Am
sterdam. The reply declares that neu-
trails are responsible for losses they
suffer by entering territory where
warlike operations are taking place.
The American note, which was dis
patched to Vienna on Feb. Is, asked
specifically whether the Austrian as
surances given following the sinking
of the Ancona and Persia had been
nullified.
After a lengthy discussion of the
British blockade, which it declares is
illegal, the memorandum continues:
"The principle that neutrals should
enjoy in war times the advantages Of
the freedom of the seas refers only 70
neutral vessels and not to neutral per-
sons aboard enemy vessels"
"No Business OF Neutrals."
The reply further contends that bel.
ligerents are entitled to decide for
themselves what measures should be
taken against an enemy in sea traffic
and concludes:
I'm such cases neutrals have M
other legitimate interests and there
fore no other legal claim than that 8
belligerent inform them in time of a.
prohibition directed to an enemy, so
that they can avoid intrusting their
lives and their goods to enemy YES
sells"
"Adheres to Assurances, but"
The Austrian memorandum refer
ring to the note on the Ancona case
says that it strictly adheres to the
assurance already given" At the same
time Austria calls attention to the
fact that at the time of the Ancona
incident it stated that it reserved
the right to bring up later for discus
sion difficult international questions
which arise in conenction with subma-
rine warfare" The memorandum then
adds:
eff the Austro- Hungarian govern
ment now refers to this reservation
and briefly discusses the question Of
the sinking of enemy vessels to which
that note refers, it is guided by a de-
sire to show the American govern.
ment that now, as heretofore, it
strictly adheres to the assurance al
ready given and endeavors, by clear
ing up that important question be-
cause it touches the laws of humanity
to avoid misunderstanding between
the monarchy and the American
union"
What Austria Promised.
WASHINGTON - The reply CT
the Austrian government to the Sec
ond American note in regard to the
sinking of the Ancona contained the.
following paragraph: "The Austro,
Hungarian government can positively
concur in the principle that enemy
private vessels, so far as they do moi
fee or offer resistance, shall not he
destroyed before the persons aboard
are secured"

 Mrs. Roberts went to the home of Miss Blanca Mills, where Miss Lusk lived, to keep an appointment with the latter. After Mrs. Roberts reach ed the Mills residence she called her husband on the telephone and asked that he come and be present at conference between her and Miss Lusk. When he reached the house IS minutes later he found. his wife dead. Miss Lusk locked herself in a. room and resisted arrest for an hour When further resistance appeared useless she shot herself twice.
