BACK BAD TODAY?
Backache is usually kidney-ache
and makes you dull, nervous and
tired. Use Doan's Kidney Pills for
weak kidneys the remedy recom
mended by your friends and neigh
bors. Ask your neighbor.

Kidney Pills can't be beat as a remedy
for any kind of kidney ailments. A
number of years ago I was in bad
shape uith my back. I was laid tin
so I had to have hot poultices put on
my bank and sides to relieve the
pain. I could hardly turn over in
bed and vas sore all through my
back. I would have awful dizzy
spells and specks would come before
my eyes. Many times I would have
to sit down and wait for these at
tacks to pass off. It was only a
little while after I commenced to use
Doan's Kidney Pills that I began to
improve. I got several boxes from
Weyrich & Hadraba's drug store
and they finally gave me permanent
relief after other kidney remedies:
had failed. I always keep Doan's j
on hand and use them when my kid
neys need attention. They keep them
iu a btrong condition."

THREE CENT
FARE TO HOLD
OD IN STATE
FEDERAL COURT SO RULES IN
DECISION JUST HANDED
DOWN AT LINCOLN.
Nebraska people will continue pay
ing three cents per mile railroad fare
until the legislature meets and en
acts a new railroad fare law or the
United States court renders a new
decision. The federal court, with
Judges Sanborn, Wade and Wood
rough, yesterday afternoon rendered
a decision making an injunction of
the temporary restraining order is
sued some months ago preventing the
Nebraska state railway commission
from enforcing the Nebraska 2-cent
fare law.
Following the decision of the court
Commissioner Thomas L. Hall said
the state commission will hold a
meeting next week and decide upon
the further step to be taken in the
fight to keep the rates down.
"Two of th commissioners are in
Washington this week so we cannot
outline our future actions until they
return," said Mr. Hall. "The way is
now open for a hearing of the case
on its merits."
Every Road Represented
The hearing opened yesterday
mormng with every railroad m Ne
braska represented by from one to
three attorneys. The state was rep
resented by Assistant Attorney Gen-;
eral Hugh Le Master. No witnesses!
were called but. briefs were sub-;
mitted and arguments made by all!
attorneys.
During the hearing attorneys
tated the 2-cent fare was equal to
confiscation in the cases of the
Northwestern, Missouri Pacific, M. '
& O. and Kock Island road. The
railroad attorneys also made the!
point that If the restraining order;
was dismissed, every station agent
Tiid conductor in Nebraska was sub-!
ject to arrest and fine or imprison-j
incut for disobeying" the 2-cent law.;
The court ordered that each rail-!
road give bond for f 50. 000 and that!
should the final trial of the case be j
decided in favor of the state, a re-!
fund be made to every purchaser of,
tickets who makps annticntton for ai
receipt at the time of purchasing the
tickets. The receipts will not be
ssued to all purchasers of tickets,
hut only to those requesting such
receipts.
Decision in Point
In rendering the decision. Judge,
Sanborn, who presided, said in part: l
"The rates which had beeu in ex-i
istenco before the war had been in-!
creased by an order of the director
general to a large amount, but the'
expenses or waged and materials;
had increased so greatly that the
new rates thus fixed were not stiff i-;
cient to pay the railroads a reason
able compensation and enable them
to operate. It was expected that !
high rates still would be necessary
and would be granted and this sec-!
tion 20S was enacted for the purpose
of fixing the time when the proper
authorities might make those rates. I
It was not. enacted to exercise war;
powers, nor was it enacted for the;
purpose of raising rates. It was en-:
acted for the purpose of fixing the;
time when the war powers should
cease to be an expedient, when the
rates fixed by the director general
should cease and that time was fixed :
by saying that they should cease,
when these rates which were in!
force on the 29th of February, should
be changed by action of the regula-.
. -. f . 1 4 1. .... '
lory powers oi me biaie ur me na
tion. "Out of abundant caution it was
added that no action should be taken
by these regulatory powers to dimin
ish these for six months.

With the wing3 of the morning,
Mrs. Charles K. McBride passed away
at her home in this city after a long
and protracted illness, the death mes

gradually grew worse until death
came to her relief. During the weeks
of her suffering she has been watch

warm friends by her kindly disposi

whom she knew as friends. At the
age of sixteen years she joined her
life with Christ and became a mem

she continued a devout member until
her death. On June 13, 1898 she
was united in marriage at Lincoln,
Neb., to Charles E. McBride, and the
years of wedded life had been very
pleasant until the ties were so rudly
severed by death. To this union
there were born five children, who
with the husband remain to mourn

Mrs. E. G. Ofe. Edward McBride,
Glen and Hazel McBride residing in

T. W. Peterson has started up his
feed mill, which has been idle for
some time, and is busily engaged
grinding chop feed and corn meal.
The Beacon man Inspected the mill
in operation last Saturday and found
everything working nicely and a good
quantity of stuff being turned out.
This mill formerly did a fairly good
business, but conditions changed and
larger mills were permitted to crowd
out smaller enterprises, so it was
closed, down. Now with grain going
at ridiculously low figures and flour
and corn meal remaining unreason
ably high Mr. Peterson concluded to
try it tiut again and see if he cannot
give his local friends a good quality
of corn meal at a price relatively
near the price of corn. Up to this
writing we have not tested any of
his product, but from the looks of
things we expect to sample it and
pronounce it good.
