Chicago, Feb. 18.?After publication in New York today of unactho; letter believed t? have been critter, by Jean Crones, former assistant chief at the University Club here v.a nod on a charge of putting poison in the soup served at a banquet give! in honor of Archbishop George W iUundelein one weel: ago last .night police looked for Crones arrest i: some Eastern city. The federal operatives lure continue their efforts to assist the police in running down reports that the poisoning was the rcsu!t of anti-clerical plot of nation-wide proportions. It was learned today that the gov-, ernment agents received warning of such a conspiracy more than three months ago. At that time it was reported that anarchistic leaders had been holding secret meetings at Salida, Col., and had discussed plans for a "reign of terror" to be created throughout the United States by the destruction of churches and public buildings. Rails At The Church. New York, Feb. 18.?Believing that Jean Crones is in New York city or nearby, the police made every effort today to run him down. The authorities think Crones is the author of two letters mailed in this city to The New York Times in which the writer boasts that he has escaped arrest unci makes veiled threats. o ANNOYING KIDNEY ILLS Make Lite Miserable for Many Conway People. There's nothing more annoying than kidney weakness or inability to properly control the kidney secretions Night and day alike, the sufferer is tormented and what with the burning 'and scalding, the attendant backache, headache and dizziness, life is indeed, a burden. Doan's Kidney Pills have given peae^ and comfort to many Conway people. Profit by this Conwav resident's experience. H. C. Moore, farmer, Conway, says: "For several years I was so bad off with my back and kidneys that I could hardly walk. I suffered awfully day and night from a constant pain in my back. My sight became blurred and objects floated before my eyes. The kidney secretions at times passed too frequently and then again "were scanty. I got Doan's Kidney "Pills at the Conway Drug Co., and they relieved me of the backache. The other symptoms of kidney trouble also left. I always have Doan's Kidney Pills on hand and they keep me in good shape." Price 50c, at all dealers. Don't simply ask for a kidney remedy?get Doan's Kidney Pills?the same that Mr. Moore had.

C. * STEAM AUTOS NOT MUCH SEEN NOW In Fact Two-Cycle Typo of Engine Has ? Passed Into Dreamland. vvor.uerful lleXiomty and pertect control a. all speeds, absence of vibration, quiet running, greatest of hill climbers, and record breaking speed." Otic might easily suppose that these words sum up the merits of a 1910 model?a model that has reached new heights of excellence, writes Alexander Winton. Yet 1 do not quote them from current automobile literature at all. Quite to the contrary, the quoted paragraph is more than 111 years old, and it tells a very truthful story of a car that, in spite of its super features, is today practically out of existence. I refer to tho steamer. llest Gasoline Cars The smooth, continuous power j stream of the steamer and its soft,' velvety, flexible application have never been equaled in any other type of "i\r. None has ever approached Its superb demonstrations. It had the, speed of a ghost and hill climbingability that won contest after contest from gasoline cars, with plenty of margin to spare. It was unquestionably the smoothest, sweetest thing on, wheels. Yet all these merits could not keep steam in the running. Today the steamer is chiefly a memory. And that fact furnishes an important lesson. Let me recall another instance of similar importance. In the earlier days it was a vital question among gasoline car makers whether the two cycle motor would not put every other motor out of business. For the two cycle produced power twice as often as the four cycle which is the only type now on the market. Where the usual type of gasoline motor had but four power strokes, the two cycle had eight power strokes. And where the usual type had but six power strokes the two cycle had twelve. And, inasmuch as power is what motors are built to produce, it was clear that th'. two cycle had a 100 per cent, advant age. Gone to Scrap Heap. But where are two cycles today? I do not know of a single manufacturer who is now producing them?in spite of their apparent 100 per cent advantage. And the reason is that the pow er advantage of the two cycle was more than offset by numerous disadvantages that car owners sooner or later discovered at their own expense and annoyance. I need not go into details. Father Time is the only official tester of automobiles, and it was his decision that put two cycles on the scrap heap to keep company with steamers. The lesson is simply this: No type of motor can stay on the market unless it has two cardinal points of value?namely: 1 Positive merit. 2. Absence of demerits, defects, drawbacks, disadvantages. i.? .... j. n\; i?o points arc not, similar. Freakish Habits Fatal. The rejected two cycle had twice as many power striken* fts were found in the accepted and triumphant four cycle. That was the two cycle's positive merit. But, also, as owners came to learil, the two cycle was freakish in perform ance and could not be depended upon. It was not free from defects. There fore it was forced to pass out of the market. So with the steamer. All the claims made for the steamer in the paragraph at the head of this article were true, unquestionably true. The steamer was wonderful in positive merits. But when owners of steam cars eventually weighed the steamer's merits against its demerits the verdict was "guilty," and the steamer?once over whelmingly the most popular car in America?fell into general disuse. o FOURTEEN HURT Fast Florida Trains Smashed and Many Are Badly Injured.

Skin foods and face creams and powders cannot make a woman beautiful, because beauty lies deeper than that?it depends on health. In most cases the basis of health and the cause of sickness can be traced to the action of the bowels. The headache, the lassitude, the sallow skin, and the lustcrless eyes are usually caused by constipation. An ideal remedy for women and one that is especially suited to their delicate organisms, is found in Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, a mild laxative compound, pleasant to the taste and free from opiates and narcotic drugs of every description, j Mrs. Gertrude Jordan, 522 North Lib-j erty St., Indinapolis, 1ml., says: "It is; simply fine; I have never been able to find anything to compare with Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin.

The kidneys seem t< scrffer most, as almost every victin complains of lame back and urinarj troubled which should not be neglect ed, as these danger signals often lea( to dangerous kidney troubles. Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root whicl soon heals and strengthens the kidneys is a splendid kidney, liver anc bladder remedy, and, being an herba compound, has a gently healing effect on the kidneys, which is almost immediately noticed in most cases by thos? who use it. A trial will convince anyone whc may be in need of it. Better get a bottle from your nearest drug store, aii<3 start treatment at once.

In the surrounding dark- I ness of the place he evidently expect- I ed to work unmolested. He was car- I rying a regulation flash lantern such j as professional yeggman employ in I aiding them in their nocturnal oper- I P ations. The man was without the high I explosives such as are used by the I l average safe blower, and he was w? I . tempting to get to the contents of the I safe by digging his way through the I I bottom with a pick or broad-edgced I 5 mattox such as gardeners use.

The officer | 3 stopping at the front door about 2 I . o'clock to see if the place had been I 1 locked during the night, said he saw r'a light flash and someone moving in I - the rear. He proceeded to the back of the store and saw through the ? partly opened door the burglar deeply I engaged in his work.
