At that time I was, I might say, perfectly helpless for months, but In time It wore away, as mysteriously as It came. It did not bother me again until last fall, when there was every symptom of Its return, and knowing what I had suf fered formerly I began to look a:cund for something to check It, and on look ing over the paper I noticed Doan's Kidney Pills highly recommended, so I procured them and took them as di rected. It only required a few days' tieatment to ward off the attack. Since then I have recommended Doan's Kid ney Pills to a number of my friends." Plenty more proof like this from As tora people.

The county commissioners have adopted a plan of road building that will add greatly to the benefits of the roads of the valley If carried out. Under the new law of the last legislature, the road taxes are handled by the county commissioners tnrough three rond supervisors. There Is now in Yakima county over S 10,000 to be used in road making. The plan adopted is to expend the money in making permanent improvements and build good roads radiating from the larger centers of population. The com missioners have set apart the roads to be so improved and the different super visors will follow their Instructions The first work will be done on this road leading out of this place to the Selah valley. It will be graded and graveled from this city to the Naches liver, a distance of one and a half miles, and later the Improvements will be continued to the Selah valley The next road to receive such Improve ments will be the one to Yakima city and thenre to the reservation. This Is the heaviest traveled road In the coun try and Is consequently the worst. The rond to Moxee will then be given the same attention. Gravel wW be used In each instance. After the fund for this yeur Is all ex pended the work will be delayed till next year, when the Improvements will be continued and In this way the whole valley In a few years will have a num ber of extra good roods leading into the larger centers of population.

Ellis, John Bowles and Charles Du tar, four seamen of the American ship Acme, are detained In the Raymond street Jail as witnesses in a criminal proceeding against the captain of the ship for alleged assault, which will come up in the United States court in the postofJtee oa May S, According to friends of the men they are not per mitted to enjoy any privileges of the Jail. , V. " J'( . . The men are detained in the civil section of the building. One of their friends sent a communication to a newspaper, requesting a reporter to see the men and hedr their story. A representative was sent to the Jail yesterday afternoon. The men were locked in a series of cells which have two openings on' the top floor, i They are compelled to talk to friends through the cell doors. When seen yesterday, John Nelson said: " "We don't understand the treatment we are receiving at the hands of the federal authorities. We are detained here as witnesses. . We do not object to that, but we do object to being treated as prisoners. We have been here 23 days. During the first few days we were treated with some con sideration. We were permitted to at tend church services. Two weeks ago that privilege was cut off, and we have been locked tip here ever since. While at, sea we are not permitted to attend church, but we should like to do so wh'in ashore. Services are heldevery Wednesday and Sunday, and we think no harm would be accomplished by( permitting us to do so. Then again we think we should be permitted to have better fare. What we get is pris on fare and fairly good. We have no ' knives or forks to handle our meals with, and our breakfast consists of a cup of coffee and a chunk of bread. As witnesses for the government, wt believe we should receive mora coa. sldration. ! We have committed no crime, but we W placed her on a p r with prisoners'. ' " "We think the authorities should per mit us more liberty and, treat us bet ter. We also believe that the public should know Just how witnesses for the government are treated, and want you td l'Hnt it hi yoUf papef. There Is Just one thing we want to add. We receive t day for the time we are confined here, but that doesn't make up for all the discomfort and lack of exercise In' the open air that we are compelled to , stand." . '' District Attorney Youngs and Assist, ant District Attorney Chat field were seen this morning- in regard to the protest of the sailors. They said that the men were in Jail by order of ths court, and that they had assumed their end of the bargain willingly. They said further that the sailors, so long as they were in Jail, were under the charge of the sheriff and not in the hands of the federal officials. All that Uncle Sam had to do with them now. It was said, is to take them out when they are wanted in court. At present they aimder jail discipline. Mr. Chatfield said that ha had as yet received no complaint or heard of any. When asked if the federal au thorities could do anything In the mat ter he said: "We Will have to wait for that until a complaint comes In." GRAND JURYFACES BAD COMPLICATIONS IN WORK Chicago, Feb. 19. The first tangible result of the special grand Jury Inquiry Into the Iroquois theater disaster has been the exoneration of W. C. Sailers, fireman at the theater, and one of the eight persons held by the coroner's Jury. The decision to, return a "no bill" in the case of the fireman was fol lowed by the Issuance of a subpoena for Sailers to appear as a witness. Sailers' evidence will practically close the inquiry. The task before the jury after completing . the hearing of witnesses and the study of the evidence of those held by the coroner and not determine that that person was, through culpable carelessness or ne glect, responsible for conditions which were the primary cause of the death of one or more persons In the audience. ' Having determined who of the the ater management was responsible for the absence of adequate fire protection, the jury will face the question as to whether public officials who failed In their duty to enforce their ordinance are also f menable to a homicide charge. If these officials cannot be held for misfeasance. The Jury has accepted the theory that an electric fan operat- called. is one of many complications.
