WASHINGTON, Dec. 14. The Re
publican national convention will be
held June 7, a week ahead of the Dem
ocratic, the national committee decided

earlier primaries In South Dakota and
Maine than they had set for them, the
'committeemen from these stated ob
jected and suggested June 27. The
earlier time, however, carried by a vote
of 37 to 13.

C. W. Mathews lost his suit Saturday
night against Orella Buzza, A. Buzza,
Attorneys George I. Brooks and Arthur
Cotshausen, Constable A. L. Reed and
Justice of the Peace Kelso, all of Mil
waukie. The Buzzas foreclosed a mort
gage for $250 on Mathews' furniture,
and Mathews claimed the furnture was
taken without proper legal process.
Mathews charged that Constable Reed
pulled a gun on his wife, and asked for
$1500 damages for taking the furniture,
$25 physician's services and $2975 for
the loss of his wife's companionship
and servloes for the time that she was
prostrated from the shock of Constable
Reed's behavior In their house. Mat
hewg was unable to show to the satis
faction of the jury that Reed was in
toxlxcated or that he had drawn a
gun. Mrs. Mathews has another suit
pending In the circuit court. The jury
was out only a short time. O. W. East
hnm appeared for Mathews and Gilbert

as did Doan's Kidney Pills. I had to
get up often at night and I couldn't
sleep on account of the pains and aches
all over. I was quite stiff In my limbs.
Doan's Kidney Pills were finally recom
mended to me and I used some. I
took several boxes and though I am in
my seventies, I am now hale and
hearty." (Statement given March, 29th,
1910.)

of Doan's Kidney Pills still holds
good."
