J. Blake, whose place of residence is
523 Market street, Portland, aayat "I
bought several boxes of Doan'e Kidney
Wl and I scarcely think if the first had
not proved satisfactory that I would
used almost everything said to be a
cur for weakened kidneys snd bladder,
but nothing ever gave mo tha astUfao

effect upon the stomach or bowela and

AN ALPINE TRAGEDY.
Tamtla T at rail Dwa ika
Matfarfcvra.
Ono of tho most thrilling stories In
Alpine history Is that of Mr. Bloggctfs
fall on tho llatterhorn," writes Aubrey
U Blond. "With two Zermatt fnldef
-Alpbons Furrer and Anguatln OentJ
netta this young Englishman had
made quick ascent of the mountain
and was a long way down on tne re
turn tourney. At one spot It la ueces-
aary to cross a couloir, or gully of
snow and Ice, and down tuis cnannei
fall moat of tbe atones that detach
themselves from tho shattered face of
tho peak. Tho leading guide, Furrer,
was making bis way over wnen a
tone, dropping from a considerable
height, struck him fuu on tho head
and lnatantlr killed him. The two
others, attached by their rope, to bla
dead body, were unable In their pro
cartons foothold to resist tie tnock ana
wero Immediately swept away, down
tho couloir at terrific speed. Their
axe wero torn from their grasp, and
Gentlnetu, who never lost conscious-1
neaa. was convinced that death must
await tbem at tbe end of that awful
Journey, but this man of Iron nerve
kept bla presence of mind and s bowed
wbsf stout heart and a keen Intel
Hgence can do even In the most des
perate situation.
'About 800 feet below tbe spot where
the party were carried off a small
bergschrund or crevasse ran across the
Ice slope which forms the base of tho
Matterfaorn on lu eastern side. This
crevasse Is not always open-In fact,
la October, 1903. when 1 went on to
tho mountsln to photograph tho scene
of this accident, It did not exist at alL
Beneath It are Ice cliffs, and any one
shooting the crevasse and falling over
these would bsve a sheer drop which
most Immediately be fatal, but la Mr.
Bloggett'a rase the crack waa several
foet wide and Into it the two still liv
ing men and their dead companion
were precipitated. The chasm waa
partly filled with stones and aand, and
Mr. Bloggett fell face down. Genu
netts, though terribly bruised, without
an Instant's delay seized the helpless
form of bla employer, pulled him out
of tbe position In which be lay, almost
suffocating, and cleared the aand out
of his throat and eyes.
"Ills Jsw wss broken, and bla brulaeo
were even worse than those of GeuO
netts. but ho other bones were broken.
Tho disaster waa already bad enough,
but at any moment an even more ter
rible catastrophe threatened the two
poor wounded men In the crevasse.
The couloir wss, as I bsve said, a nat
ural channel for falling stones, and It
waa Jnst the hottest hour of the day,
when tbe snow waa thawing fast and
looaenlng from Ita fetters tbe mlaalbw
It bad earlier held fast frozen to tho
mountain. It waa Imperative to lose
no time In wattlug for ssalstance from
the other parties who were on the Mat
terhora. 80 tbe guide and the English
man, without axes, bruised, sbskea
and weak, started on tbe desperate
task of climbing back up that glassy,
blood atalned wall, a task bard enough
oven for an uulujured and fully equip
ped party.
"How It was accomplished Gentlnet
ta declare he does not know, but by
an extraordinary display of pluck and
skill the two at length reached their
old tracks and gained a place of safe
ty. Assistance was now at band, and
with the help of the other parties the
wounded men eventually arrived at
the Bebwarte hotel. Though laid up
for many weeks after, both In the end
made an excellent recovery. Toor Fur
rera body waa with much difficulty
brought down next day front the crevasse."
