My kidneys were irregular in action
and the secretions were in a terrible

mended Doan'a Kidney Pills to me
so highly that I procured a box at
Charles Rogers' drug store. They
helped me from the first I continued
using them and it was only a short

such great benefit to me as Doan's

MONSTERS OF SEA FIGHT.
SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. lO.-Pas-sengers
on the City of Para which
arrived yesterday from Panama, re
ported that when off San Lucas they
saw a great battle between an enor
mous whale and a thrasher.. The
whale was a monster and was en
gaged in an attempt to kill the
thrasher. The sea monsters battled
viciously, churning the ocean into a
mass of bloody foam. The fight was
brought close up to the ship and the
passengers on the City of Para could
see all details of the battle to the
death. After fighting for nearly an
hour alongside the ship the whale
seemed to gain the mastery and both
dove into the sea, leaving a wave of
crimson as the only sign of the car
nage.
