The ad vocates of municipal ownership made a hard preliminary fight and the in terest aroused brought to the polls an unusual number of voters for a city election. What is known as the Mueller law, passed by the state legislature, was ubmltted to the voters.

Nothing can do good for . everything, Doing one thing welt brings success. Doan's Kidney Pills do one thing. only. They are for sick kidneys. They cure backache and every kid ney ilL Here Is evidence to prove It: J. Blake whose place of residence Is 525 Market street Portland, says: 1 bought several boxes of Daon's Kidney PUU and I scarcely think if the first had not proved satisfactory that I would have tried the second and third. I have used in my home almost every thing said to be a cure for weakened or overclted kidney and bladder, but nothing ever gave me the satisfaction received from Doan's Kidney Pills. They are easy to take, have no effect upon ne stomacn or Doweis ana a directly on the kidneys and I thor oughly believe from the results I re ceived and also from observation that Doan's Kidney Pills are one prepara tion on the market which acts direct ly as represented."
