Dallas Cassel, employed at the Starr Piano factory, and living at 711 South Eighth street, Richmond, Ind., says: I think it was about fifteen years since I was cured of kidney complaint by Doan's Kidney Pills. At that time I was working for the Richmond Cas ket Co., and in the course of a hard day's work did quite a bit of heavy lifting, which brought on severe back aches and headaches. ' I tried several remedies with no effect and finally I was induced to get a box of Doan's Kidney Pills at A. G. Luken & Co's Drug Store. After I had used them for a short time the dull aching in my back disappeared and with it the head aches. Since that time I have not been troubled at all, and have recommended Doan's Kidney Pills to many other sufferers." For sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents. Foster-Milburn Co..

SIMS DENIES CHARGE Says He Did Not Receive $100,000 From Big Corporations.

MADE FOR A PURPOSE. Indianapolis, Ind., Oct. 2S. Concerning the Democratic charge that the Indiana Republican committee has received a large sum of money from the national committee. Fred A. Sims, acting chairman of the state committee, last night said: "My attention has been called to a statement reported to have been made by John W. Kern in a speech made at Tipton, in which he makes the specific charge that I received SUXUkjo of money, largely contributed by trusts and unlawful combinations at Chicago last Sunday to be used in this campaign. "This charge is false, and is prob ably made for the purpose of attempting to cover Tip the large contributions which have been and will be made to the Democratic state and local cam paign fund by the brewers. This com mittee at no time in- this campaign has received any money whatever from 'trusts, unlawful combinations or cor porations,' and the allegation on the part of Mr. Kern Is given currency without foundation in fact, and made for the purpose of throwing dust in the eyes of the people of this state to cover up the large contributions which they themselves have received from the sources mentioned." CAMPAIGN YARN. Said Upham, of the G. O. P. Offices in Chicago. Chicago. Ills., Oct 28. Fred W. Up ham, assistant treasurer of the Repub lican campaign fund, when shown J. W. Kern's charge that $100,000, col lected largely from trusts, had been sent into Indiana, said: "Not a dollar of anybody's money has been sent out of my office to Indiana. If there had I would know it, and Mr. Kern's statement is untrue. "I don't even know Mr. Sims. It's an 'end of the campaign' yarn, scarcely worth denying." Tho Benefit.
