This Case Has a Hint for Many
Leader Readers.

A Madison woman has used Doan's
Kidney Pills.
She has found them as repre-.
sented.
She wishes her neighbors to know.
She publicly recommends them.
No need to look further for a test
ed kidney remedy.
The proof of merit is here and can
be investigated.
Profit by the statement of Mrs.
Geo. Gueffroy. 421 Lincoln avenue.
She says: Il am glad to recon-
mend Doan's Kidney Pills, for
Rnow what they are worth as a kid

so have others in my family. At one
time my kidneys were weak and

TRICKS HUN OFFICERS
British Courier Gets Help From
the Enemy.
Handle Confidential British Dispatches,
but They Do Not
Know II.

London-vTwo German officers re-
Gently handled more than a dozen cases
Of confidential British dispatches, but
they did not know II.
The story Is one Of the many adven-
turous incidents which befall that Sc
lect body Of British public servants
who wear a silver greyhound In their
buttonhole and are known as kings
messengers. Many imagine that any
one who carries dispatches for the
British government Is a kings messen-
ger. This Is not correct. There are
only five men who hold commissions In
that service. The others are merely
admiralty couriers or war Office cour-
iers and have no right to the higher
title.
The particular messenger who out
witted the two German officers was
burdened with II bags of dispatches
for a British embassy, and he had to
change trains at night at a station I'm
a neutral country. His heap of bag
gage was near the sleeping compart-
ment when his train drew near but
there was no porter available. He had
only put five of the bags into the com
partment when the warning whistle
was sounded that the train was start
Ing.
The messenger was In a dilemma.
He could not let the FIVE bags go with
out him, nor could he leave the other
dozen on the platform. At that mo-
ment he caught sight of two German
cavalry officers. 1t was a risk to speak
to them, but in his best South German
dialect and with his face In shadow he
requested their help. They were less
naughty than the average German of.
fcer and each one lent a hand.
The last bag was bundled aboard
with the train already in motion, and
the messenger waived his thanks. then
locked the door and collapsed on the
nearest seat.

cattle trade got a healthy start at
prices that looked generally steady
with the close of last week. Excep-

compared with a week ago, but about
the same number as arrived the cor

much in the immediate future, as in
Congress. @it'
My thirteen years in Congress (six
in the House and seven in the Sen
ate) have given me an experience
which should make my service more
valuable to the district, to the Con-
gress and to the country than that of
a candidate who has had no such ex-
perience.
These reasons were strongly urged
upon me after my tender of service in
the army had been declined, and only
because l desired to serve where
might be Of the greatest service did I
consent to submit my name to the vot-
ers in the primary of August 13.
My military experience was Of great
value to me when / was in Congress
and largely controlled my activities
while there. That experience should
be equally helpful now if am again
elected to Congress. My service in
the Ohio National Guard covered a
period Of forty years. / served in

Volunteer Infantry I went with my

An Open Letter From Charles Dick
To the Voters of the 14th Congression-
al DISTRICT
Grateful to my fellow citizens for
many honors they have conferred
upon me, equally appreciate the fav-
orable consideration accorded my pres
ent candidacy for Congress.
The untimely death Of Congressman
Bathrick has left vacancy for the un-
expired term ending March a, 1910. "A
representative must also be elected
for the succeeding Congress, and /
am candidate for both the unexpired
and the regular term.
The business Of being Congress
man is like every other business, in
that it must be learned by experience.
In his first term a new congressman
can exert very little influence. He
must first become familiar with the
rules and methods of the body and
how to apply them in securing legis-
lation. The new member is placed at
the foot of unimportant committees,
and must work his way slowly toward
recognition in securing position on the
important committees as those with
longer service drop out.
The only exception to this rule oc-
ours when a former representative
who has been out of Congress for
period is elected again, in which case
he is either placed back upon the COM
mittees on which he formerly served,
or is appointed to others equally i'm
portant, and is not again compelled to
start at the bottom.
It is becoming more and more the
custom for districts to retain men in
Congress indefinitely, and for obvious
ly important reasons. This is the rule
in the South, and the consequence is.
that nearly all important committees
in the House of Representatives are
now controlled by southern Democrats.

been in Congress from six to thirteen
terms. Northern Democrats would

sstitgsnts had KEEP. tAsem u office .las
