A good reputation is not easily earned and it was only by hard, consistent work among our citizens that Doan’'s Kidney Pills won their way to the protd distinction attained in this locality. The public endorsement of scores of San Francisco residents has rendered invalu- abl: service to the community. Read what this citizen says: F. T. Collins, silk hatter, of 10101 Hyde street, says: “It is a difficult mat- ter to give greater praise to Doan's Kid- ney Pills than their remarkable proper- tles deserve. For several years I was bothered more or less with kidney com- plaint, particular] if I contracted a cold, which was e to seat itself in the region of my back just over the kidneys. 1 fooled around for a long time trying medicine of various kinds, none of which even helped, and finally Mrs. Collins, who had_been reading considerable about Doan’s Kidney Pills. advised me to take a course of the treatment. If the first | box had not brought results T can posi- | tively guarantee this, T never would have bought a second, and if the second had not stopped the last attack, and what s better there has not been a symptom of a recurrence for six months, { T could not be induced under any cir- Dem- | cumstances to publicly recommend the elected | pre ration. r sale by all dealers.

SACRAMENTO, June 9.—As the re- sult of a legal blunder the campaign for a $200,000 high school is off. For several ' years Sacramento has been endeavoring to secure a modern high school and about two months ago the Board of Trustees resolved to call an election for the issuance of $200,000 in bonds for the purpose. Corporation Counsel Donnelly was dirécted to pre- sent the necessary formula and in ac- cordance therewith ~ plans were | adopted, the election proclamation published and the printing of a new Great Register contracted for. In the proclamation Donnelly, it appears, provided for the repayment of the debt at the rate of $4000 a year, which would take fifty years to obliterate. Under. the State law a municipality cannot incur a debt extending over a period of more than forty years, and when this fact was discovered to-day the campaign for the new high school suffered a collapse. Some of the Cit Trustees express the hope that tie proceedings can be entered upon anew and that the only loss resultant ffom the legal oversight will be about $1000, representing the expense to date. ——— e Mart V.

The reports that the Suitan is ready to concede the brigand’'s terms are con | firmed, but, as his concession was made under duress, the carrying -out of the t s may recelve further considera- Afon after the prisoners are actually released. The necessity for the better policing | of Tangier is fully recognized here, and j officlals say one result of the incident will be the permanent establishment of a police administration under foreizn authority with foreign officers. It is the expectation that France's para- mount influence will probably lead her. with the co-operation of the powers, to undertake the organization of a per- manent police system at Tangier. TANGIER, Morocco. June 9.—The American Consul has sent two unarmed marines to the residence of Countess de Buisserat (formerly a Miss Sory of New York), wife of the Belgian Min- ister. The Countess is living in an iso- lated house and as the Count. her hus- band, is at Fez, the marines were sent to her home as a precautionary meas- ure. These are the only American ma- rines landed here. The Sultan’s troops at Tangier have received orders to proceed to Fez. Thus another of Fraissouli's conditions has been granted. The Sultan apparently is granting the bandit chiéf’s demands pilecemeal, so as not to unduly excite the Moors or emphasize his humili ing position. . —_———— Republicans Will Give a Banquet. .
