Mm. Robert B r 6 d • rick, *rbo resides st 1915 Virginia street, In San Antonio, Tex-" as, tells an e x p e r lence that will Interest every reader; it shows as well that Doan's cures are lasting cures. She

says: “Up to the.early part of the year 1902 I had been a sufferer from kidney troubles for many years. The pain In my back became worse and worse until it was a dally burden that interfered with every duty. 1 was much afflicted with headaches and dizzy spells and was unable to rest well nights. In May, 1902, after using Doan’s Kidney Pills 1 made a statement for publication declaring that they had entirely relieved me of the pain In my back. I have since then had a year’s time in which to study the effects of the medicine, and while I have had slight touches of the trouble since, the use of the pills has always driven away all signs of the disorder and I have become convinced of the fact that the first treatment was practically permanent In its effects, and I know that a box of Doan's Kidney Pills kept on hand are a sufficient guarantee against any suffering from the kidneys or back. I should advise every sufferer to take Doan’s Kidney Pills, and I know that they will be surprised and pleased with the result." A PRES TRIAL of this great kidney medicine which cured Mrs. Broderick will be mailed on application to any part of the United States. Address Koster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, N. Y. For sale by all druggists, price 50 cents per box.

STOP POSTAL ABUSES.

BROTESTB OF COUNTRY MERCHANTS ARE HEARD. S - Rural Carriers Will Not Be Permitted to Act ae Agents for Moil Order Rirms—Complaiote From All Parts of tbe Country. Owing to the vast number of complaints forwarded to the Posfofflce Department at Washington by the proprietors of country stores and other local industries, an order has been issued discontinuing the practice of sending to a large number of manufacturing concerns and mail order firms throughout the country daily bulletins containing information regarding the establishment of local routes, their location and the names of the carriers. This practice of distributing information wholesale under a government frank was held to be unjust discrimination in favor of the big coucerns of the country and against the industries of the rural communities. The second step in the endeavor to correct the existing conditions will be taken by Postmaster General Payne within a few days, when- he will issue an order calling the attention of the employes of the rural free delivery service to that section of the postal regulations which prohibits a carrier on a rural route from acting as agent for any firm in the sale of commodities to patrons along his line of route. The third step will be taken by the Postmaster General some time in the near future by rescinding the order issued some months ago instructing each postmaster to post in a conspicuous place in his office the names and addresses of patrons aloug the rural routes branching out from his headquarters. Ever since this last order was issued the department has been deluged with complaints and petitions, requesting, urging and even demanding its revocation. One of the most serious aspects of the case is considered to be that with regard to rural carriers acting as agents for various concerns. It is this practice which more than any other has enabled the mail order firms to speure a strong foothold in rural communities and to malfe great inroads into the business of their local competitors. Many of the petitions received said that rural carriers in certain communities acted as purchasing agents for commission houses which dealt in eggs, butter and cheese; others who represented large dairymen, went about on the lookout for bargains in cows and contracted for the delivery of milk at railroad stations, while still others bought hay, corn, Tyheat and other farm products for the firms represented by tliefii. These same carriers or others, the complaints asserted, acted as agents for sometimes ns many as n dozen firms and sold more different things than they bought. They took orders for clothing, both for men and women, canned goods, flour, stoves, lamps, harness, sewing machines, in fact everything that is included in the assorted stock of a country Store and many things that are not. The officials of the Postofflce Department declare that every effort will be made to prevent the alleged discrimination against local industries and to preserve the popularity of the growing ser Tice, which is daily becoming a more im portant branch of the postal system.

FLEE FROM THE FLOOD.

Fire Thonnand Illinois People Leave Menaced Land for Safety. The Sny levee, thirty-five miles long and protecting 100,000 acres of land along the Mississippi on the Illinois side, is iu danger and at least five thousand people have left the lowlands or are preparing to leave. Hundreds of acres of rich farming land have been flooded by the breaking of the Greeu Bay bottom levee, south of Burlington, lowa, and below Warsaw, 111., train service has been cut off by the breaking of the Hunt levee. Ali low land in the vicinity is submerged. In St. Louis railroad tracks along the river front are submerged and all roads are seriously embarrassed. Passenger traffic to Kansas City and the West and Northwest is badly crippled. At Carondelet (South St. Louis) the river is four miles wide, extending on the Illinois fide to the Mobile and Ohio tracks, which nlone serve as a protection to thousands of acres of farm Iknd. In North St. Louis the stream is three miles wide. No estimate of the damage done can be given until the water subsides. Kansas floods arc receding and the coat is being counted up. Engineers who have gone over the situation in Kansas City estimate that the cost of rehabilitation will range from $5,000,000 to $6,000,000. Unless great precaution is observed a terrible epidemic of sickness may follow the flood. The whole terminal Bystem of the railroads in the bottoms must be rebnilt The bridges alone will entail an expenditure of reveral milllone. Sewers are entirely washed out and must be replaced, and a complete new pumping station must be constructed on higher ground. As the water subsides a slime-covered tract of land five miles square is beiug disclosed, and it hourly becomes more apparent that the task confronting the two cities is a stupendous one. At the stockyards 2,500 bogs and 300 cattle wer? drowned. The death list will be very much smaller than first estimated, as the early r§nerjfl sent mil w££f greatly exaggerated b6cl~!e oTTnalniity to get communication witk many of (he stricken districts, Armourdale and Argentina, iubnrbfi of Kansas Citv, Kan., have issued appeals for aid. Contributions for Argentina will be received by Dr. D. E. Clopper, Mayor, and for Armourdale by the Armourdale State Bank of Commerce, Kansas State Bank or Home State Bank.

WESTERN CANADA'S IMMIGRATION.

Rapid Settlement of the Fields Lyl*l North of the 49th Parallel. (From the Chicago Record-Herald.) “Canada has anticipated a very heavy immigration this year, and she now has figures to show that she la actually getting it iu a way to meet all her expectations. In tbe first four months of this year the doors of the Dominion opened to 40,672 persons, according to a report prepared by the committee on agriculture and colonization of the Cauadlan Parliament. This Is almost twice as large as the immigration in the corresponding months last year, and fully three times as large as In 1901, the respective figures being 22,482 and 13,393. “Most of these newcomers have been attracted by the wheat lands of the Northwest territories. They have moved direct from Winnipeg and they have turned that city Into a great camp, In which they have been fitting themselves out for the last stage of their adventure for new homes. “Of the immigration of this spring a little over a third has come from Great Britain, the figure being 16,457. This Is three times as large as the British immigration of the corresponding months of the preceding year, and tt Is within 2.500 of the -number of immigrants that the United States attracted from Great Britain and Ireland in the same period this spring. As to the remainder of the immigration into Canada, 13,770 settlers came from the United States, a 50 per cent increase over tbe preceding year, and 10,445 from Continental Europe, a 40 per cent Increase. “These 40,672 immigrants Into Canada may appear trifling In comparison with the 297,070 persons who entered the United States in tbe same period, but they are proportionately more important to the country. Canada’s population is one-fifteenth of ours, but her Immigration is now two-fifteenths as large as ours. It Is worth remembering also that Canada’s immigrants are almost entirely of Anglo-Saxon and Teutonic races, while our immigration is now two-thirds made up of Romance and Slav elements. “Speculation is natural as to the future of Canada In her relations to the United States when her Northwest territories are filled up, but tbe one absolutely certain fact of the near future Is that the United States Is to have a great competitor In the grain markets of the world.” The above -editorial article taken from tbe columns of the Chicago ltec-ord-Herald of May 26 shows the condition of the Canadian Immigration, which as pointed out, has had a constant growth—a marvelously increasing growth—for the past six or seven years, until tills year, it is confidently assumed, the increase to Canada’s population, by way of immigration, will exceed 100,000. This Js accounted for by the great agricultural resources which abo,und there. It Is no fairy tale t but the matter-of-fact experience or the tens of thousands bear ample testimony to the wealth and riches in More for all who choose to accept of the opportunities offered.

Senator Hanna’s New Story.

The other day Senator Hanna told the following story to a group of fellow Senators: “In Lisbon, where I was born, they say a black man and a white man were once riding together along a lonely j-oarl. The road led past a jail,-and In the courtyard of the jail they saw, rising above the high and dismal stone wall, a gallows. “ ‘Jim,’ said the white man, ‘where would you be If that gallows had it£ duS?’ “ ‘Guess ah'd alone, sab,’ Jim replied.”

Regarding a trip made over the New York Central In. this month of August, Charles Bartel! Loomis writes: “Allow me to tell you what a pleasant trip I had over your lines. With a good book and with the country that lies outside the window panes to look at and the characters that sit alongside the same panes to study and the thought of the dining car, traveling is such a pleasant thing that I wonder the whole world does not travel ali the time.”

FOR RENT—AN ESCORY.

Advertisement Telle of Toaag Men Who Xe wining to Hire Himself. For Rent—An escort, and a goodlooklng young fellow at that. He is advertised. He wants to go to pink teas and matinees, to dances, and prayer meetings. His charges are reasonable. The escort-for-rent Idea Is a Chicago Innovation. The young man who Is willing to take money for escorting brotherless girls lives In the city. A “want ad” In the papers last Sunday told of his willingness. While the professional escort is only seven days old to the world the idea bad its inception so long ago as the dressmakers' convention. Tbe women who make fine gowns paid young men to escort them to the matinees and candy stores. The young men found it a pleasant occupation. At least one of them is going to be a professional.

Tbe woman’s man servant is not altogether an unknown thing. A woman who travels and knows something of fads is authority for the statement. In traveling the services of a manservant are very necessary to women who are without male escort. Abroad such a servant is known as the courier, and while his duties are not considered menial, be does everything that a valet attends to for his mater in traveling, such as looking after trunks, buying railroad tickets, ordering cabs, ami paying bills. So it has come about on this side of the water In the East that the up-to-date girl travels with a valet rather than a maid. Seasons ago she adopted her brother's suit case for convenience In travel, hls stock tie, and his scarf pin. Even his shoe last she made her own, and then she began to have her saddle fashioned like a man's for horseback riding.—Chicago Inter Ocean.

Couldn't Change Him.

A boy, 5 years of age, who had recently become the brother of another little boy, was sent to the grocer’s shop the other day to get some loaf sugar. By mistake the grocer gave him granulated, and the boy was sent back to have it changed. "How do you like your new brother?” asked the grocer, as lie was weighing out the right kind of sugar. “Oh, I don't like him very much,” the little fellow answered; "he’s always crying!” “Why don’t you change him, then, as you do the sugar?” “We can’t change him now, ’cause we’ve used him three days!”

Saved His Life.

Whitehall, 111., June B.—Mr. Lon Manley had Bright’s Disease and after hls home doctor had treated him for sometime he finally told him that he could do nothing more for him, and that he would surely die. A friend who had heard of what Dodd’s Kidney Pills had done in cases of Kidney Trouble, advlßed Mr. Manley to try a treatment of this remedy. He did so and everyone was surprised and delighted to see an Improvement In a very short time. This Improvement gradually kept on as the treatment proceeded, till now Mr. Manley Is well. He says: “The doctor said he had done all he could for me. He gave me up. A friend advised me to take Dodd’s Kidney Pills, and In a few weeks I was nearly all wight again. “I am not dead, and can truthfully say that 1 feel better to-day than 1 have for years. Dodd’s Kidney Pills are a wonderful remedy and I will always praise them and recommend them to everyone suffering as I did.” Mr. Manley’s recovery has caused a profound sensation, as no one ever thought he would recover.
