THAT KNIFE-LIKE PAIN Is Only One of Nature's Warnings of Weak or Disordered Kidneys. Have you a lame back, aching day and night? Do you feel sharp pains after stooping? Are the kidneys sore? Is their action irregular? Use Doan’s Ki'dney Pills—the medicine recommended by so many Rensselaer people. Read this case: Mrs. C. Morlan, Harrison and Jefferson Sts., Rensselaer, says: “I had a heavy, nagging ache in my back day and night. I could get only snatches of sleep and 1 got up feeling so tired and worn out 1 could hardly do my work. Every time I leaned over, sat sown or got wp from a chair, a eharp pain shot through my back and 1 almost had to cry out. I felt nervous and unstrung. My 'head ached and I was often so dizzy I came near falling. Spots seemed to come before my eyes and my kidneys acted irregularly. I used two boxes of Doan’s Kidney Pills and they gave me wonderful relief.” Price 60c, at all dealers. Don’t simply ask for a kidney remedy—get Doan’s Kidney Pills—the same that Mrs. Morlan had.

On Tuesday hogs toucbed |2l a hundred. This was the highest price ever paid since the warvfjbegan. Some of our local men lost some bets on the price, and we understand that thousands of dollars changed hands at the stockyards on similar bets. There are some who predict |25 hogs and from the looks of things this might be a possibility. Since taking the prop from under the, hog price boosted it, no telling what may happen. Since the C. & E. I. has been made an orphan by being left from the remains of the Rock Island, it has been tossed here and there on the sea of rumor. The latest Is that the Pennsylvania will take it over and make it a part of their system. It will furnish their north Indiana markets with Indiana coal. A new passenger service will be Installed and it will give Brook people another chance to get out of town without taking 24 Hours to do It in.

M. Lyons shipped four loads of hogs anid four of cattle Monday and they sold on Tuesday’s mancet. Three loads of hogs brought |2l and one load brought J 21.05. The cattle sold for |l6 and 116.2 b. As usual Oliver caught the big price when the U. S. record was tlrst broken. Twenty-one dollars turned the trick, but he did one load for 5 cents better,, although the high record for the day was 121.10. With two loads of hogs shipped earlier in the week over 936,0*0 came back ifirom. the sale of stock from this vicinity.
