Health is Worth Saving, and Some
Cairo People Know How to
Save It.
Many Cairo people take their lives
iu their bands by neglecting the kid
neys when they know these organs
need help. Sick kidneys are responsl
ble for a vast amount of suffering and
ill health, but there is no need to suf
fer nor to remain in danger when all
diseases and aches anil pains due to
weak kidneys can be quickly and per
manently cured by the use of Doan's
Kidney Pills. Here is a Cairo citi
zen's recommendation.
W. W. Stoner. 421 Ninth street
Cairo, 111., says: "I procured Doan's
Kidney Pills at Sthuh & Son's drug
store a few weeks ago and took them
for un acute attack of kidney trouble
which had annoyed me for some time.
They went right to the seat of my
trouble and thus encouraged. I con
tinued their . use. 1 be result was
more than satisfactory. Doan's Kid
ney Pills are to me a most valuable
kidney remedy."

EXCURSION ON STR. LIBERTY
BY 7TH ORIENTAL CLUB.
Gambling Boat Arouses U. S.
(Waterways Journal)
A dispatch from Washington, dated
June . 3, says: Formal complaint has
been made and request for action en
tered at the depaitment of justice
against a resort of gambling and vice
said to exist Uion a Mississippi river
steamer. Just now It is operating
somewhere between Dubuque and St.
Paul. The complaint cots frcm St.
Paul. The complaint comes from St.
Paul. The owners of the boat are de
Louis northward. They are declared
to have a complete gambling p!?.:it
aboard. Four men and several women
are said to constitute the "crew." The
boat ties up at a town, and the oceu
pants circulate aboit rustling up
trade. When a promising batch of
victims are secured they are taken
'out to sea" and despoiled. As soon
as the local authorities are aroused
the gamblers haul up anchor an
seek new quarters. Attorney General
Bonaparte Is considering the question
whether the federal government has
authority to act.
The Cairo Excursion and Packet
company, of Cairo, 111., under the
management of Capt. H. S. Davis will
take out their first excursion June 12,
at S p. 111., for the Seventh Oriental
club, a new order which has just got
their charter late!? and whose m m
hers are very enthusiastic over th
growing popularly of their order and
the rapid increase or their member

French, both of cur city. The
steamer Liberty has an elega'it

refreshments and good music. Capts

The new pump for the Cairo Con
trading and Dredging Company arriv
ed yesteday and will be put on thi
boat at once. It weighs 24, Sod
pounds, has a six Inch shaft, and 52
inch runner; the pump is rectangular
lined with Vlnch sheet steel and will
stand a great deal more wear than the
old machine. Put the most import
ant point of advantage of this new
machine over the old lies in its ca
pacity which at a very low estimate
is more than double. The old pump
has brought in an average of 900 cubi
yards of solid material per day; the
new pump at a low estimate as stated,
will bring in 2.000 cubic yards per day
of 20 hours.
The company's boat lies on the
Ohio side of the city where John T.
Rennie will place the new machine
upon her, after which she will be tow
ed to her moorings in the Mississippi
to resume operations. President Ma
gee expects that the new machine will
be ready for work next week and will
begin at once if the river shall be low
enough.
During the late rise in the Mississ
ippi a large section of the company's
piling has been swept away by drift,
and this must be retsoivd.
The company has a great deal of
work under contract, comprising sev
eral hundred thousand cubic yards
and is now properly equipped to
handle it expeditiously.

"I hold that it Is no fib for a woman
to decline to be at home If she doesn't

so much kinder than to say she begs

to be something personal in begging
