I could not stoop without suffering from severe pains through my loins and the least work I did tired me. None of the rem edies I tried had any effect on my com plaint and my kidneys gradually grew weak, the secretions passing very irreg ularly. When I read about Doan's Kid ney Pills I resolved to give them a trial and procured a supply. By the time I had used six boxes I felt like a different person. I still take Doan's Kidney Pills occasionally and they always benefit me." PELLS N.Y.. Proprietors. MORGAN IN NITRATE F1EL New York Banker ii Organizing- Bi English Syndicate. BLOW AT ALLEGED BUTTER TRUS1 Effort Wilt Be Made at Present Ses sion to Redaee the Tax Col ore Oleomarsarlae "What la a Quart!" (From a Staff Correspondent.) WASHINGTON, Jan. 8. Speclal Press dispatches from Valparaiso, Peru, an nounce that there Is a report current thert that J. Plerpont Morgan Is organising ar English syndicate with a capital of some thing like 50,000.000 sterling to rover the nitrate products of the world. The Islands off the Paclflo coast of South America have for years furnished practically all the nitrate deposits of the earth, nnd Peru and Chill have fought several wars over the control of some of these Islands. The recent death of General W. W. Dud ley, former commissioner of pensions, com bined with a report that Banker Morgan Is engaged In a plan to control the nitrates of the world, calls to mind the fact that the so-called Landreau claim Is still un settled. Landreau was an American citl sen who purchased a concession covering one of the Peruvian Islands rich in guano deposits, and, as It Is alleged, was deprived of his holdings. So far back as the lays of Secretary Blaine this claim was a cause celebre. It has been a subject of negotia tion for upwards of three decades, and it la alleged that the Geneva tribunal de cided in favor of Landreau a year or two ago. But the claim has never been settled, The original Landreau Is dead, his grand son has passed on, and one. of his attor neys. General Dudley, was burled here only last week. General Dudley's surviving partner. General Mitchner, Is of the opin ion that the attempt of the Morgan syn dicate to control the nitrate deposits may possibly result in the ultimate settlement of the Landreau claims. But "manana" Is the motto of the South American countries and unhws some vigorous Knoxlan policy Is marked, it may be that several genera tions will pass away before the Landreau claim is settled. In spite of the fact that J. Plerpont Morgan is trying io control the nitrate deposits of the world. Now It's What Is Quart t" President Taft answered the question "What Is whisky" greatly to the tattsfao tion of the gentlemen engaged In combin ing two or three different distillations. At torney General Bonaparte Insisted that whisky was the direct product of the still, with no extraneous substances Incorpo rated. Any product of a rectifying estab lishment which contained more or less than was produced from the distiller's worm was according to Mr. Bonaparte's ruling a com pound and not whisky, but President Taft has decided that what is known as whisky commercial la whisky official from this time on, and now he and his cabinet are confronted with the question, "What is a quart V The new penal code which went Into ef fect January 1 provides that when liquors whether spirituous, vinous or malt, are shipped from one state to another the pack age in which they are sent must' in addi tion to giving the name of the consignee, show plainly on the labels the character of the contents and the quantities of same. Ordinarily whisky is put up in bottles five to the gallon. Commercially these bottles are known as quarts, but the ques tion arises as to whether or Hot a ship ment containing six of these bottles can be designated as six quarts or whether th? labels must show that there are exactly six-fifths of a gallon In the package. Ap parently there Is no one yet competent to answer that question. The railroads and the express companies who are held re sponsible under heavy penalties for the transport of shipments Improperly labeled have declined to render an opinion, the law officers of the government will not an swer questions from parties outside the ex ecutive departments, and the consequence Is that shippers are In a qaundary as to where they stand. It Is probable, therefore, that President Taft will have to supple ment his decision on the question of "What Is whisky" by deciding "what Is a quart." Hit at Hotter Trust. Recent press dispatches have asserted that there Is a great trust in exintenceto control the price of butter. It Is asserted that some of the Chicago houses dealing In dairy products have practically cornered the butter market with the purpose of forcing the price of this household neccs tlty to a figure which will net thein enor mous profits, which the consumer must make good. On top of that statement Rep resentative Burleson of Texas has intro duced a bill which will shortly bp consid ered by the committee on agriculture of the house to reduce the tax on oleomar garine from 10c a pound to He a pound. The present tax Is He on uncolored oleo margarine, but If any colored matter what ever Is Incorporated Into the product It will pay a tax of 10c a pound. Sooretary McVeagh Is understood to endorse this bill heartily on the ground that the lower tax rate, providing some amendments to the present law are adopted, will assure the sale of oleomargarine for exactly what It is and will at the same time increase the revenue. The Burleson bill will undoubt edly moot with strenuous opposition on the part of the so-called bntter trust, but at the same time the high price of buttor has Induced many labor organizations and other combinations of consumers to urge that the tax on the Imitation product be reduced, so that those who desire to lubri cate their food with a wholesome nrt'ele of commerce may not be forced to pay the exorbitant tax of 10 cents a pound for the privilege of doing so. The present agita tion promises to be as acrimonious as that of 1890, which resulted In the forcing of the Grout bill through congress In spite of the fact that at least 50 per cent of those who voted for that measure were honestly op posed to Its principles.

Bloody Finger Imprint Solves MurdcrMystery Two Soldiers Who Killed Widow of Former Governor of Bank of France Arrested. PARIS, Jan. 5. The imprint of a bloody finger on a military ticket taken up on the train on which Mme. Qouln, widow of Jules Edouard Qouln, a former governor of the Bank of France was traveling De cember 16, has led to the solving of the mystery of her death. Mme Gouin's body was found under a train near Paris on that date.

Subsequent Investigation showed that she had been robbed. Two soldiers, named Oraby nnd Jllchol, tor'.ay confetsed to having murdered tho woman. The po lice followed up the first clue of the finger mark, and they succeeded In locating a former comiade of tho two solditrs, who declared that he saw them embark on IhU train at Melum, which Is thirty-seven miles from Paris. When confronted with this, witness the two suspects broke down and made a full confession. They had long meditated robbing a pas sengi r, the soldiers said, and loc k seals in the coach next to that In which Mine. Gouln was traveling. They passed Into her compartment by the corridor, and as soon as the train ztartid sprung upon her and beat her on the hiad with the heel of a shoe. They then took her Jewels and money and finding no signs of life de cided to throw her on the tracks. Oraby opended the door, but because of the Jarring motion of the train It closed sud denly, catching his hand. In order to re lease himself he broke down the door and went to the lavatory to wash hl.i Injured finger, while his companion threw the b .dy out of the compartment.
