Doan's Kidney Tills Keep the Kidneys Well and the Back Strong. Any ' work that 1 a constant strain on tlio back Is oertaln to Injure the kidneys In time. That Is why desk workers, farm bands, rallroadeia, teamsters, barbers, painters and workers In a hundred trades suffer so much , from backache. Many tasks, like housework, that do not require great physical strength are very trying on the back and kidneys. That Is why backache Is so common among women. That Is why so many women are unnat urally weak and tired and sleepless. When- the kidneys are sick every exer tion sends a sharp, stinging pain through the loins, and for hour after hour there will be a dull, heavy throbbing ache In the small of the back. You will feel weary all the time and urinary troubles may add to your misery. - Doan's Kidney Pills have given thou sands of working men and women strong barks for their dally work. This remedy helps the kidneys to do their work, to (titer "the liquid poisons from the blood, and to send pure, health-giving blood to the muscles and organs.

Foster-Mllburn Co., Buffalo, N. 1., Prop's DEATH PREFERABLE TO TRIAL How York Lawyer Commits Suloide Bather Tktn Fsoe a Jury. WAS ACCUSE! OF LOOTING AN ESTATE Associate of Convicted Banker Jamps from Window sid Dies oa Day Case Was Set for Hearing. NEW YORK. Oct. U-Rather than face trial on the indictment charging him with fraudulently taking money from the Weis sel estate, Armltage Mathews, lawyer and secretary of the county republican commit tee, committed suicide today by Jumping from a window In, ls, apartment to a stone paved Court "yard,- He struck on bis head, fracturing the skull and died in a short time. Mathews, who was a young man, had advanced rapialy, .both, in .the practice of his profession and in politics. He was a friend of former Governor Black and Abraham Oruber and they were loyal to him in his trouble,' acting as legal advisers and doing all they could to aid him to ob tain the change of venue from this county for which he had Applied. The change of venue was denied yesterday and trial of the case was set for today before Justice Davy, in the criminal branch of the supreme court. Early this morning Mathews received a special delivery letter. After reading it his housekeeper beard him go to a bath room and open a window. A few seconds later he Jumped to his death. Several tenants in a house in the rear of Mathews' apartment saw him Jumn. A doctor waa hurriedly summoned, but could do nothing, and Mathews died in a few minutes. Story of Alleged Crime. Mathews was indicted last May on charges of conspiracy and grand larceny, growing out of the looting of the Weissel state, of which David Rothschild, wrecker of the Federal bank, was administrator. Rothschild, John W. Wooten and Lawyer Samuel I. Ferguson were all Indicted with Mathews on the same charges. Roths child wa already serving a long term in State prison for wrecking the Federal bank, and Wooten was convicted in June and sentenced to nine years In Sing Sing. Wooten waa kept In the Tombs as a possi ble Important witness against Mathews. Ferguson was also expected to be a wit ness for the prosecution of Mathews. Mathews waa the local representative of the Bankers' Security of Cleveland, which wag on Rothschild's bond for Stoo.OQO, as administrator of the Weissel estate. It waa agreed by the four accused men, according to the indictment, that Rothschild was to bare sole possession of the estate and 'whatever money he borrowed on it was to be shared by his associates. Mathews at one time was an assistant district attorney. He served terms as a member of the Tioard of aldermen. Two year ago he was made secretary of the county republican committee. After Rothschild was convicted and sent to Blng Sing prison he drew up on bits of paper a series of statements in which he ac FITS MANY To Leave OS Coffee and t'so Postnni.

KIDNEY PILLS John Fanning O'Reilly, who for three years was superintendent of the Manhat tan Hospital of New York City, and for six years previous to that service was chief clerk of the Insane department at Ward's Island, expresses warm admiration for Doan's Kidney Pills. We have many letters from prominent physicians ' and hospital authorities who have used Doan'i Kidney Pills In practice with great success. Mr. O'Reilly's letter follows: Foster-Mllburn Co.,' Buffalo, N. T. Gentlemen: I wish to publicly endorse Doan's Kidney Pills. There Is no doubt that all who have disordered kidneys can readily be cured If they use your remedy. For over a year I had kidney trouble, but for some time did not know what caused my distress. Incessant suffering-, backache, pain across the groins, urinary troubles, loss of appetite and strength. An acquaint ance who had been through a similar ex perience urged me to take Doan's Kidney Pills, and, I am happy to say, the remedy waa most successful. Tours truly, (Signed) J. FANNING O'REILLT. OMAHA PROOF W. C. Thorns of 11 Martha street, traveler for the Fremont Brewing Co.' of Fremont, Neb., says: 'The constant Jar ring of trains when I travel affects my back and I think causes the severe pains which catch me In the loins, especially mornings, when I have awful work to get on my shoes. I thought sometimes my back would break. Seeing Doan's Kidney Pills advertised. I got a box at Kuhn Sk Co.'s drug store, corner lBth and Douglaa streets, and before using them many days the pains disappeared and I was finally cured. I never Intend to be without a box of Doan's Kidney Pills In my grip. I can not speak too highly of this valuable prepa. ration." A TRIAli FREE.

No Action on Report. The committee questioned whether the time had come to depart from the present system of national bank circulation. The present output of 11,000,000 of gold dally is regarded as alleviating the monetary situa tion and In a measure lessening the demand for additional circulation. No action wua taken on the report by the convention. A history of the Scotch system of banking was presented by Mr. Robert Blyth of Scotland. An address by Mr. Walker Hill, president of the Mechanics' American bank of St. Louis, on 'The Practical Benefits of Mem bership in the American Bankers' Associa tion" followed the remarks of Mr. Blyth. Five-minute descriptions of the business prosperity of different parts of the country were Indulged In by the convention for half an hour, when adjournment was taken until tomorrow. An amusing Incident of the discussion of business conditions was occasioned by the refusal of Mr. Fletcher of Little Rock, Ark., to discontinue ex foliation of the south at the end of the prescribed time. The convention good naturedly voted him off the floor, only to have him Interrupt the next speaker and continue his own remarks.

SICSS OF POLITICAL LIFE EztoatiTt Csmmitteo Called to Form Late Plans forth Cam paij. DEMOCRATS AFTER COUNTY OFFICES Present Indications Are that Certifi cate to Transact Business Will Be Granted to Bankers tnlon of the World. (From a Staff Correspondent ) LINCOLN, Oct. 12. (Special.) Chairman Warner of the republican state committee Is keeping several stenographers busy these ys sending out letters to precinct com mitteemen anj urging them to be up and doing. The state committee will lend its aid to the county chairman to elect the county ticket. In his letters Mr. Warner urges the chairmen of the various organ izations to report In detail on conditions In their several localities and to whoop up things for the entire ticket from top to bottom. In the meantime the democrats have done nothing so far, and the stories that they are doing a gumshoe act is without founda tion except in that there IS not enough enthusiasm among the few remaining ones left to make a noise. Apparently they have given up all hope of doing anything with the state ticket, but they are at work on the county tickets. This afternoon they selected a headquarters and will open up at the Windsor hotel tomorrow. The democrats will make a strong- ef fort to land as many county officers as pos sible and this will give them a nucleus for the campaign of next year. The head quarters. It Is understood, will be used merely as a place from which to direct the fight In the various counties where there is any chance to land a candidate. They do not Intend to fight to elect a full county ticket, but merely to pick out the strong man on the ticket and elect him If possible. It Is because of this attitude of the dem ocrats that the republicans will pay more attention to county and precinct tickets this year, and a mighty effort will be made by the republicans to oust the various democratic county clerks and other demo cratic officers who hold office because of an oversight on the part of the repub licans. Chairman Warner has also notified the county chairmen In counties where the clerk of the court Is a democrat to be very careful about their recommendations ror clerks and Judges of election and to report to him any instances where the clerks show undue prejudice In favor of demo cratic election officials. Chairman Warner of the republican state committee baa called a meeting of the ex ecutive committee for Wednesday night at th committee headquarters. Plans of the campaign will be discussed. Bankers rnlon Gets License. It is a safe prediction that the Bankers Union of the World, of which E. C. Spinney Is president, will secure from Insurance Deputy Pierce a license to do business In Nebraska which has been refused him so long. Mr. Pierce received a letter from Dr. Spinney this morning in which it was said that the officers of the order were willing to comply with the requirements of the supreme court decision recently handed down. While Mr. Pierce would like to refuse Dr. Spinney this license, under the supreme court decision he can hardly gee h! way clear to do It, The decision In nearly every instance was In favor of Dr. Spinney, though the writ was denied him, the court apparently holding that the audi tor would Issue the certificate without a writ. Should Mr. Pierce refuse the license now it would mean another salt and Just, at this time the Insurance department can not put up a strong case for the reason that Horace Wiggins, who wprked up the case against the Bankers Union as special examiner for the department. Is in New York City examining a number of other Insurance companies and will be absent from Lincoln probably sixty or ninety days. Consequently It looks like Dr. Spinney will win out. More Testimony In Tax Case. Attorney General Norrls Brown will go to Omaha next Thursday to resume the taking of depositions In the Burlington railroad tax suit. Most of the testimony In this case has been taken and an early decision in the matter is looked for. As yet the railroads have given no intimation as to whether they Intend to enjoin the collection of 1906 taxes. School Fond All Invested. Every cent of the permanent school fund Is Invested. The first of the month this fund contained $178,000 of university money and since that time Treasurer Mortensen has bought (50,000 of Massachusetts state bonds and the remainder has been invested in state warrants. The permanent school fund is the especial pet of Treasurer Mor tensen and as a general proposition he keeps every cent of it Invested in Interest paying securities. ' Governor Mickey haa returned from a two days' trip to his home at Osceola, where he took a look at his immense corn crop and watched his Industrious sons stack a fourth crop of alfalfa. The governor reported that his corn crop waa of better quality than any he had ever raised or had ever seen in Nebraska. Governor Mickey has Issued a requisition for the return to Gosper couny of C. Ed ward Bushel, wanted for wife desertion. Bushel Is under arrest in Colorado. No More Fever at Aylnm. No new cases of typhoid fever developed at the Lincoln asylum today, though one of the Inmates has developed symptoms of the disease. Today and tomorrow are the crucial days, according to Dr. Greene, and If no new cases develop before tomorrow night Dr. Greene believes there will be no further trouble from the first Infection. Miss Shoemaker, who was so low yester day, la still critically ill, though somewhat Improved. Her condition is such that Dr. Greene still fears she may not recover. Dr. Greene still believes the fever was caused by files and does not believe It waa due to the water supply. He has all the nurses necessary and feels much encour aged over the outlook this evening. Praises Industrial School. Secretary of State Galusha returned last night from a trip to the Industrial school at Geneva and reports that Institution In splendid condition. "To go into the school,' said Mr. Ga lusha, "Is like entering one of the best ward schools of the state. Everything Is as clean as a new pin and all of the Inmates are taking especial Interest in the Institution. Superintendent McMahon baa different cos tumes to be given the girls, according to the merits they receive and all of them are working hard to be proficient and to receive credit marks. I was well pleased with the condition of affairs and think it ia one of the best managed of all the state Institu tions." Oil Inspector Reports.

Charges Against C. J. gmytk. In open court this morning In the suit of Albert Harrah against Edgar C. Smith for possession of the Brnwnell block. Judge Spurrier, attorney for Harrah, charged C. J. Smyth of the firm of Smyth dc Smith, attorneys for 8mlth, with unprofessional conduct In that he pretended to be the attorney for Harrah when In reality he was Smith's sttomey, thus securing by unfair means an advantage In the case. The accusation created something of a sen sation as Judge Spurrier showed much feel ing In delivering his charges. Ed P. Smith at once denied that there was any founda tion for the charge and asked that it be probed to the bottom of the court, and If there was a particle of truth In the charge he would move the. disbarment of his partner. Judge Spurrier declared that he had every reason to think that the firm of Smyth & Smith were acting for Harrah when the latter sought to recover $9,000 that wns due him from H. O. Jackson for cattle sold the latter. Spurrier said he had consulted with them and had sent them papers relating to the suit as an associate counsel for Harrah and he did not learn otherwise till after wards, when Jackson had been arrested at Newton. Ia., over some cattle deal that placed him under bonds In the sum of $2,500. Bond had been secured for Jackson, said the speaker, from a man named North cutt, working for Edgar C. Smith, the de fendant, because the latter did not want his name associated with the furnishing of a bail bond. This money had been attached by Harrah at the time with the hope that It might be secured as a partial payment on the debt of $9,000 which had not been liquidated. Smyth Smith, Spurrier declared, had In duced himself and Harrah to release the attachment Jackson, who was ' In debt to Edgar C. Smith thousands of dollars, said Spurrier, was released and then Smyth & Smith coolly announced that they had been re tained by Edgar C. Smith and the papers sent down to the office of G. W. Berge at Lincoln, who had been retained in the case. Charges Against Doctor. The Board of Secretaries of the State Board of Health met today and prepared questions to be used In the next examina tion of applicants who desire to practice medicine In Nebraska; Dr. Sward, the new member of the board, and Dr. Spalding, the new health Inspector, were present, as were Dr. Somers and Th-. Towns, the retir ing members. Two physicians from Hold rege appeared before the board to get the certificate of a Holdrege physician revoked for malpractice, but as the men failed to nie affidavits or make their charge In writing they were told to do this before the board conld take action, owing to the serious nature of the charges preferred. ifiif" i .
