Under an act passed 70 years ago, these officials are entitled to all of the fees of the office over necessary expense to the amount of $2,000 and when the fees exceed that a- mountt, there is to be a fifty-fifty di- vision with the county. Similar sur- charges have been made annually for several years but no action has been taken on them . These officials deny that they are indebted to the county, averring that the auditor had erred in his calcutations, which they be- lieve they will be able to demonstrate to a jury. A verdict of $1468 was returned by the jury in the case of the Pittsburgh Westmoreland, & Somerset Railroad Company against the Blair Brothers, lumberman, whose operations are 071 the Laurel Hill mountain.

Webb Murphy Reveals Inside Sec- rets to Readers of The Pittsburg Dispatch Baseball has had no more interest- ing club owner than C. W. Murphy who for ten years was at the head of the National League Club of Chica- go. During his presidency of that club there occurred some of the most dramatic episodes in the histo- ry not only of the club itself but or organized baseball. Mr. Murphy now considers himself free to tell of some of these events- to tell of them from the magnate’s point of view, and what he believes to be the right and proper viewpoint. He will tell his side of the much «discussed severance between the Chicago Club management and Frank L. Chance, the “Peerless Leader.” Mr. Murphy will tell how he induced Charles P. Taft to lend him the money to buy the Cubs; of the unsuccessful attempt Ban B. Johnson made to buy into the Chicago club; how a mem- ber of the National Commission at- tempted to disrupt the great Cub ma- ine by luring away “Johnny” Kling on th promise of setting him up in the billiard business; the detailed story of the resignation of “Johnny” ®Mvers as' Chance’s successor as man- ager of the Cubs; why “Three-Finger Brown was let go by the Cubs’ man- agement; hitherto untold facts in ref erence to the election of John K. Te- ner as president of the National League while Mr. Murphy was ab- sent in Europe etc. etcAnd the au- thor takes the lid off in every article.

Home testimony for Doan’s Kdiney Pills, published in every locality is of itself convincing evidence of merit confirmed testimony forms still stronger evidence. Years ago, a cit- izen of Meyersdale gratefully ack- nowledged the benefit derived from Doan’s Kidney Pills. The statement is now confirmed—the proof more con- vincing. Cases of this kind are plen- tiful in the work of Doan’s Kidney Pills—the record is unique. Samuel Wagner, 208 Market Street Meyersdale, says : “I had quite a se- vere attack of lumbago and rheumat- ic pains. My kidneys were out of or- der. My back troubled me considera- bly and any move hurt me. Two boxes of Doan’s Kidney Pills gave ma relief. They removed lameness and soreness in my back and made my kidneys normal. (A statement given October 18, 1909) : OVER FOUR YEARS LATER, Mr. Wagner said: “I keep Doan’s Kidney Pills on hand at all times and use them occasionally, always getting re- lief.” Price 50 c¢c at all dealers. Don’t simply ask for a kidney remedy— get Doan’s Kidney Pills—the same that Mr. Wagner has twice publicly recommended. Foster-Milburn Co., Props., Buffalo, N. Y.
