Backache and Kidney Troubles
Kidney trouble is indicated
by pains in the back; neglecting
the pains results in serious ill-
~ness. The Kidneys becoming
clogged. fail in their work of
relieving the system of impur-
ities. A change or decom-
positiOn takes place Once the
- structure is destroyed no rem-
edy Will avail. There is only
one time to attack the dis-
ease and that is in its early
stage, when the first pains are
felt. Buker' s Kidney Pills area

REOB GANIZING CHICAGO.
~ A Plan to Have~ -..the City Governed Like
France’s Capital.
SPRINGFIELD, Ills., Feb. 20.—There was
introduced simultaneously in the house
and senate today a. measure that if passed
will completely reorganize the city govern-
ment of Chicago. It was prepared by the
legislative committee of the Civic federa-
tion.
By its provisions the city will be almost
in absolute control of the mayor instead of
the departments, as now exists. The mayor
will have'a cabinet similar to that of the
president of the United States, to be
known as the board of control. The bill
does away with the election of the city
treasurer and provides for the election of
one alderman from each ward for a term of
two yéars and 12 aldermen at large for a
term of 'four years, the latter to be on the
majority representation plan. The board
of control will consist of the comptroller, to
be at the head of the department of finance;
the commissioner of public works, to be at
the head of the department of public
works; the treasurer, to be at the head of
the department of public funds and dis-
bursements; the commissioner of public
safety, to be in charge of the police, fire
and health departments, and the corpora-
tion counsel, who will have all the legal
business of the city. The oflice of city at-
torney is abolished.
The mayor is to have power to remove
any of his cabinet at any time and is given
absolute veto power. The board of control
.shall say in what banks the city’s money
shall be deposited, and such banks must
give bonds.
All franchises must be passed upon by
the board of control and then sold to the
highest bidder at public auction. Pur-
chasers must pay aper centum of earnings
to the‘city. The council will elect its own
presiding officer.
The committee, in preparing the bill,
studied the method by which almost every
large city in the world is governed, and
the bill provides for the government of
Chicago on a plan almost like that of Paris.
MEXICO LOOKS To THE END.’
Stated on Good Authority That the Gua-
temala Trouble Is Over.
CITY or MEXICO, Feb. 20.—-From the
best possible source it is learned that a set-
tlement between Mexico and Guatemala
will be reached in a few days. The govern—
or of the state of -Michoacan has issued a.
call for organization of the national guard
of the state.
The assertion of certain correspondents
that Minister Mariscal had said that the
question of the amount of indemnity being
discussed between De Leon and himself
was settled is positively denied. This
question has only been touched upon so
far. The amount due Mexico is hereafter
to be settled.
President Diaz received ex-United States
Senator Davis of West Virginia and Lieu-
tenant Commander Brown, United States
navy, executive and disbursing officers of
the international railway commission, and
party. Since their arrival they have been
the recipients of distinguished attentions-
from the executive, who at once, on their
coming, sent the chief of his stafl to act as
bodyguard during their stay in the city
and today dispatched several of the palace
coaches to bear the party to a private re~
ception tendered them by the president.
Both of the gentlemen named are mem-
bers of the Pan- American railway commis-
sion, and-it developed during their inter-
view that the Mexican government has fin-
ished the survey for the proposed road run—
ning through Mexico to the south. The
Mexican surveys go to the Guatemala line.
The road, it is hoped, will some time unite
all of the American republics. Mexico has
but a few hundred miles of road to build
south from the Oaxaca end of the Mexican
Southern railway to put the road to the
Guatemala frontier.
