Mrs. A. S. Baldwin, of 1.171 Wyom
ing Avenue, says. "Since childhood I
hud attacks of dull pains across my
back, very often Increasing when I
went to bed at night. If I did any
lifting or stooping my back fell, lunio
and sore. I used different remedies
recommended to me from time to
time, but did not get much If nny re
lief. I heard about Doan's Kidney
Pills through a triend who had used
them and was benellted and I had my
husband get mo a box at Matthews
Bros.' drug store. After using them a
few days I could feel their effects. Fi
nally they cured mo."
Mr. Austin Conway, of 102 Irving
avenue, says: "I was bothered for
the past fifteen years with a pain
across my kidneys. At times it struck
me In the hips and extended down my
legs. It was worse in the early even
ing or after I did a hard day's work.
I was advised to try Doan's Kidney
Pills, and having read In our city pa
nels so much about them I got a box
at Matthews Bros.' drug store and was
surprised to find how quickly they
benellted me. I soon had not the
least pain In my back."
Mr. Thos. Bamford, llagman on the
D. & H. II. U., says: "I had a severe
attack of la grippe which left me with
weak kidneys. The kidney secretions
were scanty, highly colored and con
tained a sediment like brick-dust, und
caused me u great deal of annoyance
and at times were very painful. I
was much disturbed also on account
of them at night. I used many dif
ferent medicines but without much re
lief. I was advised to try Doan's
Kidney Pills by a friend, Mr. Whar
ton, who had received the. greatest
benefit from their use, and I procured
a box from Matthews Bros. After us
ing them the secretions regained their
natural color, the sediment altogether
disappeared, and 1 was not troubled
with pains in my back nor numbness
in my legs.
W10MI2.G AVENUE.
Mr. S. A. Bonney, of MS Wyoming
avenue, employed as night watchman
of the Clark & Snover Tobacco Co.,
says: "I suffered with dull aching
across my back which was much more
severe If I had to climb many stairs
during the night. I was also troubled
with suppression of the kidney secre
tions, very annoying at night on ac
count of too frequent action. I tried
a number of so-called kidney cures and
took a number of boxes of one kind
but I got no benefit. I heard so much
about Doan's Kidney Pills thnt I got
them at Matthews Bros.' drug store,
and after taking them a. short time I
found they were helping me. Finally
the pain- In my back left me entirely
nmV the other difllculties were much
improved.

In 1S0I1: "All the olllcers plunder when

The upper purtlon of Old Louisiana
was mimed tho "District of Louisiana,"
under the act of IS01, but by the act
which took effect July -1, ISO."), was or
ganized an the' "Territory of Louis
iana." This name was changed to Mis-,
souri in 1811'. On August 10. Ifc2t, It
was admitted Into tho I'nlon ns a
s,tate, with an area of OD.-Ufi square
miles. The territory had a population
of 20.SI5 In 1S10: GG.nsc inhabitants In
1820, and tho state, 1,182,1112, in ISliO,
which grew to :!,l0,Utin in 11)00. Of this
population, fil.l per cent, are males.
The population of St. Louis, the fourth
city In the t'nion, was lixed by tho
last federal census, at G7f,23S. By the
same census, Kansas City has 103,7r,2
Inhabitants; St. Joseph, 102,D7U. In
March, 1801, tho double transfer of this
district was made by Captain Amos
Stoddard, who as the agent of Franco
received It from the Spanish Com
mandant Of.lussus and almost immed
iately turned it over to the, United
States. Changing (logs was not a joy
ful occasion. The authority of Clover

Indian territory wan extended over the
newly acquired region, which then In
cluded what hi now known us Min

eight other northwestern states. Har

came govirnor of the "Territory of
Louisiana." Wilkinson deserve! noiuu
credit for aiding Lewis and Clark and
Lieutenant Pike, who had po much to
do In making the extent anil value of
the great purchase known throughout
the Union.
In 1S0S, Meriwether Lewis became
governor. Deep distress over tho ruin

population in MOO was 1.3ll.n6f. It pro

is 12S,Ps;,C07. The capital invi-utcd In
mnnufneturing anil mechanical indus

was 407 per cent. Not only the golci
hunUr, I)e Soto, but the Indomitable
La&illo, the chivalrous Do Tontv and
the truthful historian, Joutel, traveled
all over this Arkansas wilderness.
Three-fourths of the stale Is still a
forest. On March ;:, ISO.", upper Louisi

New Madrid and Territory of Louisi
ana. The southern part of Mlnsourl and
what la now Arknnsus constituted this
"district." fienoral James Wilkinson,
appointed by tho president as gover
nor, and Meigs and Lucas, the two
Superior court Judges, constituted the
legislature. In 1R00. the district was
called Arkansas, and Stephen Warrol
lit came the first deputy governor. From
and after 1S13, the legislature of Mis
souri continued creating new counties;
but on July !, 1S19, Arkansas began a
separate territorial nxls'tenee. Presi
dent Mom-oo appointed Oencinl James
Miller, the hero of Lundy's Lane, the
fl.ut governor. This bravo soldier filled
the chief oilUe with honesty and honor
imlll his resignation In 182.'. Jnmesi S,

In 1S03, In 1807, Lieutenant Pike, after

NORTH DAKOTA.

of 70.705 square miles. North Dakota
had been organized us a scpurato ter

creased In 1900 to 310,14?. Tho value of
Its real estate is placed at $9(5,912,019.
Lewis and Clark passed a winter near
Urn city of Mandan. The old fort at

George Catlln made a study of the
North Dakota Indians in 18B. Gov

SOUTH DAKOTA.
Has an area of 77.GtfO pqunro miles.
Its population is'401,570. Its real estate
was valued at SlSl'.SBl'.Slfi, by the last
census. The territory of Soutli Da
kota was organized March 2, ISfil. It
was admitted' as a state November 2,
1RS9. The University of South Dakota
at Vermillion has a president and four
teen professors. Nicollet was the first
writer to describe the picturesque beau
ty of this region. The extreme length
of the state is !SS miles nnd it
breadth 210. It Is divided Into about
equal parts by the line of the Mis
souri river. The Cheyenne and Grand
rivers are the next in size. Hagerty
and Child have written entertaining
books about the promise and fulllll
mont of the state.
MONTANA.
This state baa now a population of one
and a quarter million. It had less than
12,000 Inhabitants when organized as a
territory In ISO!. It came into the
Union in 1889. The population in
creased 1M7.5 f 1 0111 1SS0 to 1890. Mon
tana's enormous size, 110,080 sqiiaro
miles, and its foreshadowed greatness,
stimulated the genius of Joaquin Miller
to write it monumental history of the
state, distinctly worthy of subject anil
author. The great poet or the Sierras
nays with fitting truth and grace:
"Here, great men In the glorious pur
suits of peace, laid the foundation j
stones without cement of blood, and 1
reared a great state out of material
fresh from tho hand of God." And this
Is true In 1903 of tho 11th to enter llfu
Union of the great treaty states. "But
here lay Montana it thousand miles
from any sea; a wilderness In the wry
heart of an untrodden wilderness, with
savagca on the four, sides or her and
savages In her ovwy puss and val
ley." No one can condense this best
of thu statu histories.
WYOMING.
Wyoming, tho 12th ami last of tho
purchase states, which raiiio Into tho
Union In 1890, has now a population of
11 hundred thousand and nearly an
cquul number of square miles of ter
ritory. Indians and wild beasts held
possession of this great region until
180U, when whlto trappers and fur
traders became primitive commercial
travelers. The first aiitliorUcd explor

ter of the Lowls and Clark party, was
the first American to trap and trade
In Wyoming. Kzeklel Williams and
party did good work under hardships,

From lite domain acquired by the
great trenty were carved out twelve
large states and 0110 territory, soon to
become a state, Oklahoma has at
present a population of over 400,000,
although, an area of but 119,030 square
