EVERY WALK IN LIFE. Abilene citizens appreciate "the little conquerer." Every class of citizens has sick kidneys. The busy business man rushing through life on the run falls to realize the constant strain he daily puts upon the kidneys. The mechanic forced to assume unnatural posttions, stooping and straining at his work, does not know that his backache is simply kidney ache. The clerk on his feet continually leaning over counter or desk: railroaders, conductors, engineers, streetcar men, subject to constant Jarring, have backache from their kidneys.

Women at their household duties, boys and girls at play, overtax the kidneys and give them more work than they can do. 'Tis a fortunate thing the kidneys warn you when in trouble; that they cry out for Don't neglect the warning. Don't neglect a bad back. A lame, weak or aching back if neglected means future trouble, kidney trouble, urinary trouble. Kidney Pills cure every form of Kidney ill; cure a bad back and make sick kidneys well.

Doan's Kidney Pills are endorsed by people you know. Read what an Abilene citizen says; Mr. W. A. Mauchley, engineer at the Abilene Mill Elevator living at 212 Cottage says: "During the six or seven years when I had spells of backache I used more than one remedy but I hardly think received any permanent benefit.

Sometimes was scarcely able to perform the slightest duty. I was in this condition when an advertisement about Doan's Kidney Pills attracted my attention and I went to C. E. Northeraft Co's for a box. They gave me prompt relief.

I consider them the best I ever used." For sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents. Co. Buffalo, N. Y.

Johnson, a dentist of Larchmont, N. with an office in this city, was arrested last night on a warrant specifically charging her with the grand larceny of $2,000. The total amount of her defalcation, however, may, it is said, amount to $50,000. The complainants are officers of the United States Playing Card company, of Cincinnati and New York. Mrs.

Johnson, whose maiden name was Marie Layton, was bookkeeper in the New York office of the company and in addition acted as private secretary to R. H. McCutcheon, secretary and treasurer and manager of the New York branch. She was married to Dr. Johnson in 1901, but did not leave her position after the marriage.

Mrs. Johnson was discharged from the employ of the company in April when Inspector McClusky says she admitted defalcations of $10,500. It was thought at that time that her husband, Dr. Johnson, who has a large practice, would make up the loss, but this was not done. Mrs.

Johnson is a tall, slim, pretty woman with fair complexion and brown hair. It is said that Mrs. Johnson speculated in Wall street and lost considerable money there. FIGHT WITH TRAMPS. Desperate Battle Between a Citizens' Posse and a Gang of Supposed Robbers at South Haven, Minn.

They then escaped to the woods, followed by a posse of citizens who had quickly gathered.

A number of shots were exchanged and finally the gang were brought to bay. The posse opened fire on them with shotguns. The leader was instantly killed and another of them mortally wounded, while the other four were all badly shot. A quantity of dynamite and railroad torpedoes were found in the car in which they had been living. The wounded men were taken to Buffalo and lodged in jail.
