night Back so lame that you can scarcely bend

They're not taking the poison out of the blood

Other Topeka people have been in the same con

And they've been cured
Cured so quickly and permanently that they
could scarcely believe their own senses.

Read what one Topeka citizen has to say :
Mr. F. T. Yale, No. 707 Quincy St., photographer at No. 617 Kansas
avenue, rays: "Kidney complaint bothered me for about two years.
At first I paid little attention to a slight pain across the small of my
back, but finally it grew so bad I cou'.d scarcely attend to my work.
When I stooped It was with the greatest difficulty that I could straight
en and the kidney secretions were unnatural, distressing and annoy
ing, and also disturbed my rest nights I was in pretty bad shape
wnen I got a box of Doan's Kidney Pills at Rowley & Snow's drug
Ktore, corner of Sixth St. and Kansas Ave. I noticed a decided relief
after the third dose, and on finishing the treatment the backache dis
appeared and the action of the kidney secretions was corrected."

Kansas City, June 27. President A. E.
Stilwell, of the Kansas City, Mexico &
Orient, has returned from New York
and will remain here until after the
meeting of the directory of the Guar
dian Trust company to be held next Fri
day, when the matter of the connection
of the trust company with the new rail
road to be built by Mr. Stilwell will be
decided upon.
President Stilwell has awarded sev
eral contracts for work on the new line,
and construction from Port Stilwell, the
Pacific coast terminus of the road, east
ward, will be begun within a few days,
as will also work at different points on
the route between Kansas City and the
Mexican border.
Mr. Stilwell confirmed the report al
ready published that a contract cover
ing a period of 15 years and providing
for close traffic interchange between the
Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul and the
Kansas City, Mexico & Orient had been
signed, under which through train ser
vice will be maintained from Chicago to
Port Stilwell, where connections will be
made with steamship lines ta the Orient
and South America.
While Mr. Stilwell refused to confirm
it, a report, which it is believed is en
titled to credence, is current that an
other important traffic arrangement for
the new road to the Orient is about to
be signed. As the contract with the
Milwaukee covers the territory north of
Kansas City pretty thoroughly it is ev
ldently with a line reaching some other
territory and, while those informed on
the subject speak of it very guardedly
it may not be amiss to speculate that
thia new contract is to give the Orient
road entrance to St. Louis. The Texas
& Pacific was suggested in this connec
tion, but it is not certain that is the
line, in question. It is possible the con
tract is to be with a California line.
for a railway supply house, with head
quarter's at Chicago.

He was given the position of assistant
chief clerk in Mr. Player's office by Mr.
D. E. Cain, now chief clerk to General
Manager Mudge.
REPLACING SMALL BRIDGES
Rock Island Bettering Line Between
Topeka and Lincoln.
The Ttoek Island is replacing the
wooden structures over the creeks and
rivers along the lines between Topeka
and Lincoln with steel structures. They
arc mostly all small bridges, being but
forty or fifty feet wide.
Two have already been completed
near DeWitt, Neb. Work will progress
as rapidly as possible during the sum
mer and it is hoped that about a dozen
bridges will be finished. A considerable
sum of money is being spent in this
work. When the work is finished the
cost will possibly aggregate upwards of
$30,000.

St John's Novitiate, Maryland, Is to
Be Transferred to New York.
Washington, June 27. One of the
greatest changes that has even occurred
in the Jesuit province of Maryland, will
take place at an early date, by order
of the superior general of that commun
ity. After an existence of 70 years the
famous St. John's novitiate at Freder
ick, Md is about to be moved to a lo
cation on the Hudson river, above West
Point, where property of considerable
value has been acquired.
The old novitiate was founded by
Father John McElroy, S. J.. who re
ceived ordination as a priest from
Archbishop Neale, of Baltimore, in 181.
and died at Frederick, in 1873. Many cel-
ebrites are buried in its shadow, among
them the third chief justice of the Uni
ted States, Roger Brooke Taney, and
the Jesuit Missionaries Villiger, Tuffer,
Senders and Vigilante. In the trans
feral to New York, these graves will not
be disturbed. Father Edward Purbry,
is now provincial of the Jesuits in this
province which originally covered the
country, but at present embraces only
the southern, middle and New England
states. The province .was founded in
1SG4. He resides at St. Francis Xaviers

VICTORY OF PEACE IS THEIRS.
St. Louis, Mo., June 27. Kxcept for
the boycott and 300 extra policemen on
duty, but little remains to tell of the
great strike on the St. Louis Transit
company's system inaugurated May 8.
Cars are in operation on all the lines
without hindrance, and are well patron
ized, except on those running north and
south. Many thousand persons, because
of the boycott and through sympathy
for the strikers, patronize wagons and
busses manned by ex-street railway em
ployes. This is especially true in the
north and south sections of the city.
Today the remainder of the force of
Sheriff Pohlman's posse comitatus
about 600 men, was mustered out of ser
vice for good, the board of police com
missioners deciding they were no long
er needed. It was at first intended that
all but 1.000 men should be discharged,
half of which would be retained for ac
tive service, the whole number to be
called for duty on. July 4, to suppress
any trouble that might occur then.
President Edward Whitaker, of the
St. Louis Transit company, states that
he knows nothing of a report that three
disinterested citizens had submitted to
an officer of the company a proposed
plan of settlement of the street car
strike, and that the coTiittee had be
told to go to the strikers and first get
their approval.
At the strikers' headquarters no prop
osition looking to a possible strike set

ganized mainly through the efforts of Walter ,L Pierce, Secretary and General Manager of the Lidgerwood Man
ufacturing Company, of New Tork City. The meeting held in Chicago was the first successful step that has been taken
to bring about harmonious relations between the employer and the employe. A joint agreement was signed recently
by both committees, and through this agreement strikes and lockouts in those trades are things of the past Any dif
ference between employer and employe which can not otherwise be settled will be adjusted by a national committee of
arbitration.
