The delicate kidneys are easily weakened, and when their activity is lessened the whole body suffers. Why? Because the life-giving purity of the blood depends largely upon the filtering work of the kidneys. If uric poisons are retained in the blood instead of passed out in the urine, those poisons will collect in the system and attack every part. That is why the sufferer from kidney trouble is a victim of pain that racks his tired body from head to foot. That is why he is dull, depressed and nervous, and can find neither rest nor sleep from day to day. There's no help for a. kidney sufferer except kidney help the help of a kidney specific like Doan's Kidney Pills, that acts directly upon the kidneys, relieving kidney congestion, allaying kidney inflammation, restoring perfect blood-filteration and driving the uric poisons from the body.

CITY BUYS MANY TAX TITLES Twenty-Five Hundred Pieces of Property nought at Scavenger Sale, bat Many Hedeemed. With sensational accompaniments Includ ing a call for the police, Mrs. A. J. Whet line took possession Monday evening of her son by a former husb.ind, Stewart Wood, uged 9. who had been living with bis sUtcr at IMth and Templeton streets in this city for - the past three years. The mother was accompanied by her husband who, however, acted chietty a a spectator. At the police station she declared that the boy had been abducted from her and that she wanted to locate responsibility for the abduction and have arrests made. .Being told she would have to swear out warrants for the persons she suspected, she sld she would let the matter drop and disappeared without giving indication of her destination. The boy's sister admits that the child was abducted but by whom she does not know, as he wus left at her door one winter night three years ggo. "He said he was a relative of mine," she says, "Although I hud not seen him since he was two month old, the family resemblance made me recognize blm as my half brother. Knowing of no one to care for him since the death of his father I decided to give him a home and educate him. His mother never demanded his In his report to the mayor and council of property which the city has been' forced to buy In at the scavenger tax sales from November 2 to March 31. City Attorney Breen shows that tax certificates to no leas than 2,5nO pieces out of about 16 000 offered have been acquired by the city in this way. "This does not-mean that Omaha's muni cipal government is to be glutted with property upon which the owners could not or would not pay the taxes," says the city attorney. "As a matter of fact fully half the property ucquired has been redeemed by the purchase of the tax certificates from the city and the payment of ti to cover the publication and filing fees. Most of these purchasers are the owners who neglected to attend the sales, and arme were speculators. 'In all cases the full amount of tax has been recovered where the property itself was worth the tax im posed and accumulated. By having a representative at the sales to bid in prop erty that was not going to bring fair returna the sale waa maoe a financial suc cess. The tax ceriincates me cuy now holds will be nearly all sold before the two years elapses neceaaary to perfect the title. In plain language the scavenger tax law as a means of cleaning up tax-burdened property and getting it free from encum brances and of recovering for the city many thousands of apparently hopelesfl taxes, has been a howling success."

OUTCOME OF A PERSONAL INJURY SUIT Judgment Obtained Asvalnst City on Aceonnt of F.icavatlon Made by Vaney & Redmond Makes Trouble. The new charter continues to develop things. I'nder one of Its provisions City Attorney Breen Insists on the holding back of pm, due the Yancey & Redman Side walk Construction company and about H.3u0 due the Omaha Construction com pany, the successors and assigns of the former, the claims being for sidewalk work and grading therefore for the city. The reason for doing this lies in the fact that the city Is noldlng the sack In a $5,000 Judgment claimed by Lizzie Wright, lifter two trials, granted In restitution for personal injuries sustained by falling Into n excavation that Yancey & Redman bad made for a sidewalk In l'J03. The firm and Its bondsmen took no notice of the suit while it was iu progress and have not made any move toward taking the matter to the supreme court. The city legal department has grown tired of the litigation and Is preparing to fall bark on the $10,000 bond furnished by Yancey & Redman, which Is signed by Fred A. Nash, president of the Omaha Electric Light & Bower company.

Although there has been a drop this week in the local markets of 50 cents a hundred on the price of beef on the hoof, the consumers of the city have not noted any reduction In the price charged them. The packers are paying 50 cent less for their beef, yet the packers have made no decrease to the rvtail merchants. Iast week, when the price of beef on t lie hoof rose slightly, It was a painful and evi dent fact that It took mors money to buy a pound of merit than on the day preceding. When there was an Increase, the prh"e to the consumer was raised nt once; but now that there is a decrease, the packers give to the retailers the excuse that they can not afford to make a change when the iimrket is fluctuating so rapidly. "We cannot lower the price unless the packers favor us with u like concession," said a retailer. '"They have a large stork on hand now, and they say they cannot afford to ofTVr It at a low price simply because the market Is down for a day or two. They say also that they have baiely been getting out of good beef what it cost them.'' for the Bowels I1fM!rnla ' Mortality fttatlatlca.

C Bughee, of Hamp ton, la., will leave Omaha for Portland, Ore., as soon as he can get money from home. His experience with Omaha con lldenco men has lessened his wealth by $W and a gold watch. At the Burlington Kt:itlon Bagbee became acquainted with a Mr. Greenwald, who suggested that they go up town und have a lunch together. At the north end of tha Tenth street viaduct they were accosted by a man who asked for a match to light his cigar. Greenwald Introduced him aa McHenry After a few momrnts conver sation McIIenry suggested that they match pennies to pass away the time. Greenwald said ho never gambled for any sum less than $1. He pulld Bugbee to one side and unfolded 11 scheme whereby tho two could get all of McIIenry 's money. The secret waa that Bughee should match heads each time and his friend match tails. McIIenry was sure to lose and they would divide the spoils. The pat-u do sucker lost cheer fully until the others had tM of his money without a thought of t:iklng his turn at matching. Then he remarked that hi money was going too slowly; he would bet as much as the others cared to risk. The Ioa man put In the $10 he had won, $20 from his pocketbook, and bis gold watch.

Brando, Manager National Lead Company, Omaha: Dear Sir My attention has been directed to your letter In The Bee, In which you take me to task for n statement which I am reported to have made in the preachers' meeting last "Monday morning, concerning traveling salesmen and their relation to the social evil In our city. In justice to that class of energetic business men that represent the great commercial Interests of this country, and ulso to myself, I wish to state that 1 did not, on that occasion, say one word'thnt cast the least reflection upon this class of men. I refer you to the gentlemen who were present and heard my speech. My knowledge of traveling salesmen would forbid my making any such sweeping statement as that referred to in your communication. I have had the honor for a number of years of holding a directorship in a company that employs a number of traveling salesmen, and have been in close touch with these men much of the time and know them .very well as 11 class. I have formed a very excellent opinion of many of these men and fully appreciate their worth, both to the church and the commercial world. I appreciate their self-respect and pride In standing up for their rights. Some of the best und truest men In my church here and churches elsewhere have been traveling salesmen. I nppreclate the broad-mindedness of your letter. I write this not as an apology for another man's mistake. 1 simply have to say I stand squarely by things when 1 say them. 1 am, very respectfully, S. D. Dl'TCHKH. and tw. he COUNTY HOSPITAL SUPPLIES ILER ASKS FOR MORE GROUND Requests City to sell Portion of Streets for Trac-kaite I me In F.ast Part of Town. Peter K. Her Is anxious to have the city vacate and sell him strips of Second nud Hickory streets and an alley In the vicinity, varying from fifteen to thirty-two feet in width, "In order to close a deal with a large manufacturing enterprise which needs the additional ground." This Is all Mr. Her is willing to say about the matter. The strips will not close either Second or Hickory streets, but will narrow them considerably and give extra trackage facili ties. The council placed the rnmmunla tlon bearing the request on flit. Chairman Trainor is Looking into Matter of Comparative Cost. INVESTIGATION TO BE MADE THOROUGH Exposure of Item In The llee Plarta an Inquiry that Will io to the Ilottom nt Thing at Hospital. County Commissioner Trainor. chairman of the committee on county hospital, has set on foot some Inquiries which promise to develop a state of facts as to the county expense for drugs and groceries that will be rather .surprlFlng, to say 'he lenst. Mr. Trainor. with the co-opera tlnn of the county auditor and with the backing, it is supposed, of the other members of tha county board, is after definite and specific information in the line of figurea. To that end the cost of supplying drugs, for In stance, will be compared with the cost to state Institutions'. While figures are nt present not available, there Is an able bodied rumor abroad to th effect that the results of a comparison of this kind will open the eyes of the board as to one very large source of expenditure of county funds). On the grocery Item there has always hi en room, It seems, for the county to lose' In the total unles every item of the con tract Is adhered to with absolute strictness. Recently this has been made the rule, as heretofore noted In The fji;e. Still care ful examination of the accounts Indicates there Is room for still further trimming without wronging anybody. The totals of different Items of supplies, as shown In the tables recently published In The Bee, have set those in authority to thinking. The doubling of total within three or four years la not yet sufficiently explained to satisfy the board. They do not say that anyone has bren deliberately setting out to give the county the worst of It, but the evidence of thi lack of correct business methods is so palpable on the f ic of the returns that something must b tlotte.
