L.CVE STOOK MARKETS,
At the cattle market to -day there
was a brisk buoiness in the local
btulielel' trade. In the export 'trade
photo was a good demand, but not
vary many cattle of this eines offer-
ing. There seems at the present
time to be no shortage of vessel
lipace for an export cattle conning
forweed, Too good demand for
butchers' cattle to -day made prices
in this class a little flntner. Choice
lots of picked cattle were selling at
34.40 to 34.50, and ire some cases
the quotations were a few cents
higher. , There is a fair demand
for feeders and light stockers. A few

CRUELTY TO ANIMALS,
Mr. Brock's (Centre Toronto) bill
for the further lu'eventioa of cruelty
to Itnlrnals was read at second thee
in the COnenons to"day, and the
Muse went into committee on it.
Mr. Brock explained that the 111-
telnLion was to enforce propel' pro-
visions for food, water and cicanll-
11e55 in rho shipment of cattle- on
cars, It provided that wherever
cattle wore unburied for rust and
waiter, ate., the cars should be clean-
ed out,. The Act further provided
that no small animals should be
shipped in the saute cars with larger

trampled that many were disem-
boweled, and otherwise mutilatted.
The railway company hood disclaim-
ed responsibility for such ba1'bar'lty,
while the shippers living fat' away
could not be got at. His bill pro-
posed to make the railway companies
responsible.
Mr. Blair said lie had not con-
sidered the bill at all, and wished
111ut it be referred to Um Railway
Comm'! Ltee,
EMPLOYMENT OF ALIENS.
Mr. Charlton Introduced his bill
to amend the Act restricting the
importation and employment of
aliens, 11] explaining this bill he
said that tiro Act of 1897 perruittecl
the importation of sklled labor for
new industries, but not for indus-
tries already established in Canada.
Itis bill proposed to permit the im-
portation of skilled workmen for
both new and old industries, The
old Act had proved a disastrous one
to manufacturers, and had helped to
Keep valuable settlers out of the
co..ntry. If they proposed to trans-
fer American industries to this coun-
try it would bo necessary to permit
thorn to import their skilled labor.
His hill received the support of the
entire manufacturing interest of
the country.

cipal features: Revenue for 1902-3,

1909-3 is 313,350,000. The antici-
pated reduction in the public 'debt
Is 85,650,000, after pr'ov'iding for

Bright's Disease Invari-
ably Vanquished by
Dodd's Kidney Pills.
Other Cases in Which the
Qireat Kidnty Remedy
Conquered.
Reliable flen Tell of Vic-
tories over the Dread
Disease.
From Mail and Empire.
So great has been the interest fa
Toronto over the cure of Dright's
Disease reported from Shubenacadie,
Nova Scotia, that a reporter )(ester -
day visited tho head office of the
Dodds Medicine Co., 62 Yonge
street, Toronto, to ascertain the
views of the management concerning
the case, He found the management
satisfied, but by no means surprised.
"No," was the answer to the re-
porter's question. "Wo are not sur-
prised that the public generally aro
at length being forced to the con-
clusion that Dodd's Kidney Pills
will cure Bright's Disease. Wo have
known it for a long time ourselves.
The Parker cure is only ono of the
many of which we can furnish
proofs.
A SPECIALIST'S PRESCRIPTION
"The troubles in these cures have
been made by what is termed a
'patent medicine.' Mad they been
made by a physician in the regular
way, and that physician had been
able to tell exactly how he brought
them about,they ivould have been
talked of learnedly from, one and of
the country to tho other. But
when people talk about our cures
there is a tendency to say, '011,
that is only a patent medicine ad-
vertisement.'
"They forget that Dodd's Kidney
Pills are the life work of a doctor.
That they have been uniformly suc-
cessful in treating all diseases of
the Kidneys, and that the only fea-
turo in which they differ from re-
gularly obtained medical advice is
that the prescription of a specialist
is given the public at popular
prices.
NO ROOM FOR DOUBT.
"Now, you have seen the particu-
lars in the Parker Casa Nobody can
doubt for an instant that that molts
a veritable ease of the 'incurable'
Bright's Disease, neither can anyone
doubt that the cure was effected by
Dodd's I{idney Pills and by no other
agony, Of course, it took time and
perseverance ' but the patient was
in tho last stages of the disease be-
fore she started to use Dodd's Kid-
ney Pills, Had she started sooner
the work would have been easier,
and the results ivould have been
obt,atned much more speedily. It
was an =theme case and look
time."
"You know of other cases of
Bright's Disease that been been
cured by Dodd's Kidney Pills 7"
queried the ,reparte'.
T1,0 manager walked over to a
sato and produced a bundle of let-
ters, Holding them up, he said 1—
"Everyone of those letters tells of a
case of Bright's Disease cured by
Dodd's Kidney Pills, and every

ed and verified, Let me readyou a

take the trouble to look at this
letter you'll see'it is written by the
Postmaster at Lovett, Ont., Mr, 0,
A. Harris. Notice what he says
'In 1897 I was at the point of
death from Bright's Disease, and
Was a complete wreck, could not
even dress myself or turn in my bed,
but now I am, I may stay, a well
man, and I attribute it all to
Dodd's Kidney Pills.' That's from a
postmaster, a man who undoubtedly
knows what he is tailing about, and
there's no uncertain sound about
what he says.
CIHAS, INGRAM CURED.
"Here's one from a Toronto man,
Charles Ingram, 58 Humbert street.
fl'e'a a stonemason, and well known
among the working men in the build-
ing trade. See what he says :—'For
tan years I have been troubled with
the first stages of Bright's Disease,
I tried several other medicines, but
could not get cured. A friend of
mine told 1110 to try Dodd's Kidney
Pills. I have used four boxes, and
ant now cured of the first stages of
pains,'
G. IT. KENT CURED.
"I can go on showing you similar
letters most of the afternoon, Dut
I'll just give you ono more—that of
G. 13. tient, of 408 Gilmour street,
Ottawa, His was a remarkable case
indeed so remarkable that we
afterwards got him to make his
statement under oath before a not-
ary public.
Mr. Kent is a printer in the em-
ploy of the American Dank Note
Company. He suffered for four
months from Bright's Disease, and
had actually reached tete stage when
the doctor declared he could not
live till the next morning. While
the sorrowing wifo waited by his
bedside watching for the en(l, her
eye chanced to fall on at advertise-
ment which said that Dodd's Kid-
ney Pills would cure Bright's Dis-
ease,
"As a drowning man grasps at a
straw, so this despairing woman
grasped at this last chance to save
her husband's life. A messeliger was
procured, a druggist roused out of
his bed, a box of Dodd's Kidney
Pills bought, and the dying man
given his first dose, That dose
brought an improvement, gradually
the pain ceased and health returned,
It took seventeen boxes to cure
him completely, But that's seven
years ago, and he's been working
every day since. Surely a cure litre
that is enougl. to make the whole
world believe that Dorj;cl's Kidney
Pills will cure Bright's Disease,
'WHERE ''1411 TROUBLE LIES.
"Tile whole trouble is in reeking

age. It used to be 'If you sr0 it in

What the Czar Proposes to Dia

Nothing has come front Russia lea

Freedom of religious worship, pro-
snmubly for Jew as well as for
Christians; the abolition of that
form of slavery which has gone by,

by the rural banks of a larger share
of their funds for the 'development of

In spite of the rigid press censor-

to doubt the existence of *dangerous

a
hopeful view believe that the Czar

On LUOmother hand, of the two
most prominent figures in the pre-

to execute the reform decree. In the
past he has either opposed all change
or has _approved only that which
would least disturb the existing or-

despondent view of the situation be-

'de Plehve indicates that, however
well meant the Czar's 'decree may be,
the reactionary party is still power-
ful enough to prevent the complete
success of his plans.
When one remembers that Russia
has had small experience in self-gov-

the old institutions are often viewed
with distrust by a Conservative and
uneducated people, one need not take
a pessimistic view of the n'eform'de-

A BRAVE I,IOMENT.
Thrilling Story of the Bravery of
a Young Officer.
Patriotism lights the quick flame
of courage in many a breast. But
the courage of the battle -field or
even of the hospital is stimulated by
the numbers who share it. That of
tbo spy or scout who encounters his
perils alone is surely a rarer quality.
But courage of the very highest
type does not need either a great
cause or a great company for its
advent. The London Spectator has
a thrilling story of bravery, which
was the fruit of the simplest pity
—the pity a strong man feels and
should feel for any smallest crea-
ture, eulTering and helpless.
A crowd were rushing throegh a
street in pursuit of a frantic dog.
The cry of "mad dog" rang out be-
fore them. Sudden! in blind alley

they surrounded the quivering,
crazed animal, and paused a mo-
ment until some one should throw
another stone, or, at least, until a
merciful bullet should finish the
ghastly business.
Just then a young' officer pressed
through the crowd, gazed for an in-
stant at the wretched, panting
beast, and then, with a look on his
face which gave the lie to his words,
he said, "I don't believe ho is road,"
and stooping, picked up the dog and
bore it away in his arms.
It happened that he was right and
that the dog was not toad, but that
young soldier—foolhardy and reckless
if you will—never faced a more
threatening moment and was never
inspired by a purer motive,
