WHEN BACKS ARE BAD.

Bad backs are caused by sick kidneys. Most backache pains are kidney pains. Backache is the first symptom of kidney disorders. Neglect the warning of the back, se-

rious troubles follow. It's only a short step to urinary derangements diabetes, dropsy, Bright’s disease. Read how to be cured: CASE NO. 24,613.—Mr. Joseph Calmes, foreman of the Harter mills, Fostoria, 0., says: "I just as ardently recommend Doan’s Kidney Pills today, and it is the month of October, 1899, as 1 did in the summer of 1896, when, after taking a course of the treatment, they cured me of kidney complaint and backache, which was often so acute that I was unable to sleep at night and had difficulty in remaining on my feet all day. I am still free from the lumbago or any annoyance from my kidneys, and unhesitatingly declare that I am only too pleased to re-endorse my opinions of Doan’s Kidney Pills.” A FREE TRIAL of this great kidney medicine which cured Mr. Calmes will be mailed on application to any part of the United States.

In a Motor Car.

A story has got abroad to the effect that the king, just before his illness, was rattling down one of the country roads in his motor at a speed which was wholly Illegal. “Hi! Hi!" called a policeman. “Stop there, in the name of the law!” His majesty is said to have slackened speed and called out, “But I’m the king!” 'Jest you come aht o’ that.” was the reply, "an' let’s av yer correc’ description. Yer the third blessed king wot’a come along this morning.”

The Pe-ru-na Almanac.

The druggists have already been supplied with Penina almanacs. There is sore to be a great demand for these almanacs on account of the articles on astrology which they contain. The subject of astrology is a very attractive one to most people. The articles on astrology in the Peruna almanac have been furnished by a very competent astrologist, and the mental characteristics of each sign is given, constituting almost a complete horoscope. A list of questions and answers on astrology sent free upon request. There will be a great rush for these books. Ask your druggist for one •ariy before they are all gone.

Disinfected Coins.

The municipal authorities of Warsaw have ordered all silver coins that have been in circulation a certain time to be called in and disinfected. Singularly enough nobody will have anything to do with the refurbished coins. Tradesmen and railway and tram officials all look askance on them as spurious.

London’s Poverty.

There are in London 200,000 human beings who have to subsist on food that falls far short of the dietary required for prison inmates, and 30,000 who are homeless.

Perform for Charity.

The young women of Canastota, N. Y., have organized a minstrel troupe, ror charity, of course. “Single blessedness” is a bouquet a bachelor throws at himself when he wants to get riiarried but can’t find a girl foolish enough to accept him. It is incorrect to toy that one is tired of life. People expressing themselves that way mean they are tired of themselves. When a man is in love with a woman he listens to every word she says.

PROCEEDINGS OF THE LEGISLATURE

Measures Under Consideration in the Capitol at Indianapolis. DO NOTTOUCH FORESTER’S PAY Senator Parks’ Bill to Increase the Salary from $1,200 to $2,000 Is Lost Garnishee and Exemption Measures Cause Much Worry. The Rev. O. D. Odell prayed at the opening of Friday’s Senate session. The first order of business was the continuation of the roll call for bills on second reading. There were few responses, and the bills called got through to engrossment with little trouble, with one exception. The exception was Senator Parks’ bill to increase the state forester’s salary from $1,200 to' $2,000 a year and the expense fund from S6OO to $2,000. Senator Ogborn moved to strike out the enacting clause. Senator Wolcott moved to recommit the bill to the committee on finance. Senator Lindley, chairman of the committee on natural resources, which reported the bill, felt aggrieved at this motion. He said it was a reflection on the capacity of his committee. The motion was lost. An amendment to cut the expense fund to SI,OOO was lost, as was also an amendment to strike out the appropriation for additional office expense. Senator Barcus’ amendment providing for a salary of SIOO a year for members of the board, rather than a per diem of $5, was adopted. The bill was finally engrossed. Southern Railway Fight. The Southern railway fight came up when Senator Gray called the bill for third reading. President Gilbert warned the Senate against oratorical flights or thrashing over old straw. Senator Milburn sought to have the emergency clause stricken out, but was voted down. Senator Fortune moved to amend the bill so it would not affect pending litigation. He demanded a yea and nay vote and the motion was lost by a vote of 25 to 21. The bia then passed by a '°te °f 30 to 16. Senator Hendee then put a clincher on the whole thing by moving to reconsider the vote. A motion to table this was carried which means that the bill cannot be reconsidered. Senator Wood of judiciary committee No. 1 is the only member of the committee that voted to recommend for passage his garnishee and exemption bills. Massacre Monument. There may yet be a monument to the memory of the victims of the Pigeon Roost massacre, which took place in Scott county long years ago. hor many sessions such a monument has been the dream of the senatorial representative from whatever district Scott county happened to be in.

Dog Killing Bill. Senator Wood’s bill for the extermination of canines of the low-browed species, is on deck again. The bill pro- \ ides for the trial of the owner of a vicious dog before a justice of the peace, and the slaying of the dog if the evidence is against it. Reports for the passage of the following bills were concurred in: Abolishing State library commission (Newhouse) ; giving the Indiana University law school library 100 copies of the Supreme and Appellate court reports annually (Milburn); continuing the Shiloh Park commission (Layman), giving the cannon at Lafayette into the custody of the Tippecanoe Battle Ground association (Wood); prohibiting the use of oleomargarine in state institutions (Parks). Judges’ Salaries. Gov. Durbin may have another opportunity to veto a bill providing for an increase in the salaries of Supreme and Appellate court judges’ salaries. The senate committee on fees and salaries has recommended for passage Senator Wood’s bill, increasing the salaries of Supreme court judges from $4,500 to $7,500, of Appellate court judges from $3,750 to $6,500, and of the Supreme court reporter from $4,500 to $5,000. In 1901 Gov. Durbin angered some of the high, judges by a veto. Assessors Want a Raise. The Township Assessors’ association has prepared a bill to provide for a readjustment of their salaries. Their legislative committee, consisting of E. O. Pfeiffer of Elkhart, T. H. Seward of Jonesboro, C. P. Schoon of Munster, Lake county, C. B. Greenwood of New Albany and J. W. Frazer of Terre Haute, is busy among the legislators. The bill provides that in townships of less than 5,000 population the assessors shall receive $4 a day, deputies $3 a day. They are now receiving $2 a (lYy in townships of less than 5,000. In townships of ovejr 5,000 they want a

minimum salary of S6OO a year, with an additional $25 for each 1,000 people up to 26,000, For townships of 26,000 and oyer, the present law is to apply. After Coal Men. The general assembly had Its attention again called to the coal situation by a resolution of Senator Fortune, calling on the attorney general for action, by the appointment in the house of a joint committee to confer with the governor arid the railroad representatives and by the introduction of a bill in the house authorizing the state to take charge of coal lands if the need arises from a fuel shortage. Nathan L. Agnew of Valparaiso, who served several terms in the senate and had charge of the cqnal bill at the last session, said it nas not been decided whether there will be another canal bill or not The railroads and the canal people expect to reach an agreement whereby a bill will not be needed. Several memjbers of both houses have received typewritten letters, asking them to vote for a bill that will authorize town boards to pass penal laws. The bill to extend the term of county superintendent of schools and then elect them by popular vote is securing considerable opposition from some of the school men. Frank L. Jones, state superintendent of instruction, said that he would oppose the bill to the best of his ability. A bill has been prepared taking the care and custody of certain public libraries from the Board of School Trustees and investing the power in the common council. The bill refers to libraries donated by Andrew Carnegie, where the amount to be raised by taxation for their support is $5,000 or over. Robert Metzger, sheriff, was about the house in the interest of the bill to put all sheriffs on a salary instead of compelling them to wait till money sufficient to pay their salaries had been collected by them. He said that county sheriffs will make a mighty effort to have this bill passed. It has not yet been introduced. Private Banking Law. Attorney-General Miller has prepared a bill providing that all individuals or partnership concerns engaging in private banking, shall have a capital of $25,000, of which the real estate used for banking purposes may be a part. All private banks must be licensed by the Auditor of State by July 1, 1903, and they must hereafter present an annual statement of their business to the auditor. The license fee shall be $5. It is expected that the bill will stir up a strong opposition among the private bankers. To Prevent Body Stealing. In the house Representative John V. Baird introduced a bill creating a commission to be composed of the president of the state health board and one representative of each medical and dental college in Indiana, whose duty it shall be to distribute unclaimed bodies and bodies of paupers to the various medical and dental colleges. The measure is the result of wholesale grave robberies in Indianapolis, for which more than twenty men, white and black, are now under indictment. It provides a penalty for stealing bodies or selling or buying stolen bodies. A pure food animal food bill was introduced by Representative Denbo. It provides for a fine of from S2O to SIOO for the substitution of shipstuff, shorts or mill feed for bran. Representative Reeve of Knox county has introduced a bill to provide that all mines, where more than twen-ty-five men are employed, must hire an expert to fire blasts. A bill like this was smothered in the Senate two years ago. **• To Lengthen Mayors’ Terms. A bill introduced in the House by Mr. Mummert of Elkhart to lengthen terms of city officials to four years in cities without special charter, has the backing of the Municipal League of Indiana, which decided, at its recent annual meeting, at Madison, to ask for repeal of the present law fixing terms at two years. Mayor Knotts of Hammond will ask for an amendment, making the referendum apply to all cities. State Library Commission. Representative Stutesman took a hand in the State Library Commission controversy by introducing a bill to let the commission appoint its secretary, W. E. Henry, State Librarian, is now ex-officio secretary. In the Senate a bill was introduced to abolish the State Library Commission and put the duties in the hands of the State Board of Education, which appoints the State Librarian. Senator Burns issued an invitation to the lobbyists, when he introduced his bill fixing the maximum rates to be charged by telephone companies. A rate of $1 a month for residences is provided for and $1.50 a month for business houses. Train Kills Youth. A Big Four passenger train struck Charles Russell of Lebanon, 19 years old, who was driving from school in a sleigh, crushing his head and causing instant death.

Find Iron Pyrites.

The deposits of iron pyrites on the Perry Bugh farm near Hartford City have been leased by Cleveland and Chicago men. The mineral has been struck in all the oil wells and ranges from two to ten feet in thickness.

Lawyer Raises Hogs.

Omer S. Whiteman, an attorney of Portland, is raising hogs and has disposed of seventy-four head, weighing 16,360 pounds, receiving for them a check for $1,014.32.

SENATOR TILLMAN DENOUNCES KNOX

Charges the Attorney General With Being “Criminal and Derelict.” IS RESPONSIBLE FOR FAMINE Declares He Is the Murderer of All Those Persons Frozen to Death and Deserves the Hate and Opprobrium of the Oppressed. Washington special: Senator Tillman of South Carolina, during an arraignment of trusts and monopolies in the Senate, charged Attorney General Knox with being “criminal and derelict” and “the murderer of all those persons who have frozen to death’’ since the coal famine began. Referring further to the Attorney General, he charged that he “was the man who deserves the hate and opprobrium of the poor and oppressed of the land.” Senator Tillman’s speech created a sensation in the Senate and Senators Spooner and Beverdge continually entered objections to his remarks. Senator Spooner announced after the South Carolina Senator had concluded that several Senators would reply to Mr. Tillman on Monday. Flays the Railroads. When the Vest resolution, directing the finance committee of the Senate to report a bill removing the duty on coal, was called up, Senator Tillman arose and continued his tirade against the coal monopoly. He declared the railroads are absolutely in the saddle on the coal question. They mine and market coal and fix the price, he charged, without regard to a solitary independent operator. He said it was an infamy the way the press of the country was prostituted and lending itself to befuddle the minds of the people and deceive them into the idea that the railroads are willing and anxious to relieve the distress occasioned by the coal famine, but that somebody somewhere, called an independent operator, is responsible for the present condition of affairs. No Credit to President. The President deserves no credit, said he, except for his attempt to effect a settlement of the question, “but the actual fact is,” he added, “that J. Pierpont Morgan gave orders to his coconspirators or servants to attempt the arrangement between the monopoly and strikers.” In the course of his remarks, Mr. Tillman stated, after being closely questioned by Mr. Spooner, that it had been charged that the United States District Attorney of New York had received orders from the Attorney General not to submit his report of his investigation regarding trusts. To his mind, he said, a case had been made and the evidence and facts have been unanswered. Tbd law, he said, was too plain lor any one to dispute it. Denounces Morgan. Mr. Beveridge took exception to a statement by Mr. Tillman which he thought impugned the motive of Judge Woods in issuing his injunction in the Debs case. Repljyng, Mr. Tillman said Judge Woods far beyond anything ever contemplated by any American judge. “Why,” he inquired, “are J. Pierpont Morgan or his co-conspirators any more immune from the proceedings of our courts of justice than Eugene Debs?” Mr. Morgan, he said, had such 'a sanctity thrown around him on account of his vast wealth that to imprison him would cause the stars to go out of their course or the sun to stand still. TREATY IS REPORTED. No Tariff Concessions to Be Given Any Sugar Country but Cuba. Washington special: The committee on foreign relations reported the Cuban reciprocity treaty with an amendment to section eight, providing that no tariff concessions on sugar should be granted to any other sugar-producing country. This amendment is satisfactory to trie beet-su-gar men of this country, and also to Cuba, as it prevents any other sugar country from receiving like concessions. Another amendment provides for transferring a 20 per cent concession to that receiving a 40 per cent from Cuba. The treaty is now satisfactory to all the Republicans and to some of the Democrats, so that it will be practically impossible to defeat it for want of g two-thirds vote. Senator Cullom, in reporting the treaty, said he would call it up for consideration in executive session Monday. Constabulary Bill. Washington dispatch: A favorable report was authorized by the Senate committee on military affairs on the House bill allowing officers of the army to serve as chief and assistant chiefs of the Philippine constabulary. The bill provides for one such chief and for four assistants. The measure also authorizes the use of Philippine scouts in assisting the constabulary. G. A. R. Invites President. Washington dispatch: Represent? tive Loud of Caiiiornia extended' to President Roosevelt an invitation to attend the annual encampment of the t California G. A. R. on May 7 next in San Francisco. The President saiJ he would attend if possible.

A PASTOR ™ BTPIBB— BY PE-RU-INA. _ ®* T *, H * Stobenvoll, of Elkhorn, Wis., is pastor of the Evangelical Lutheran St John s Church of that place. Rev. Stubenvoll is the possessor of two bibles Fu C k?ki hl^ a by Em P eror William of Germany. Upon the fly leaf of one 3 the bibles the Emperor has written in his own handwriting a text This honored pastor, in a recent letter to The Peruna Medicine Co„ of OolnmDus, Ohio, says concerning their famous catarrh remedy, Peruna: The Peruna Medicine Co., Columbus, Ohio. Gentlemen: “/ bad hemorrhages of the lungs for a long time, and all despaired of me. I took Peruna and was cured. It gave me strength and courage, and made healthy, pure blood. It increased my weight, gave me a healthy color, and I feel well. It is the best medicine in the world. If everyone kept Peruna in the house tt would save many from death every year. ” — H. STUBENVOLL.

Thousands of people have catarrh who would be surprised to know it, because it has been called some other name than catarrh. The fact is catarrh is catarrh wherever located; and another fact which is of equally great importance, is that Peruna cures catarrh wherevar located.
