Strict Part/ Line lrp Against His
Tariff Resolution. ,
Washington, Feb. 19.—By a strict
party vdte, the wayB and means com-
mittee reported adversely upon Ran-
dalls' resolution Inquiring of the
President what arrangements have
been made and what negotiation^
have been passed between this
country and Germany affecting the
tariff and revenue laws, in a note
to the committee Secretary Root
said no new arrangement had been
made with Germany since the modus
vivendl established last year and
as matters now stand the German
maximum tariff against imports
from this country will take effect
June 30 unless something Is done 0
prevent it, but that it would not be
compatible with the public interest
at present to make public any of the
papers involved in the negotiation,
which the department Is now con-
ducting for extension of the modus
vivendl.
Further action on Randell's res-
olution Is thus stopped.

Doan's Kidney Pills cure all kid-

Here Is proof In McKinney.
Mrs. Mary Falres, of 64 South
Chestnut street, McKlnney, Texas,
says; "For thirty-two yearB I was
an almost constant sufferer from
headache' and backache. I tried
nearly every medicine known and
consulted doctors; without obtaining
relief. At times I Buffered so much
that I thought I would die. The
pain across the back and kldnoyn
was so intense at times that T
could hardly catch my breath. When . ,,

when arising, could hardly mow f [ 1 —.
also had dizzy spells. Black spots
darted before my eyes and there
was always more or less Irregulari-
ty of the kidney secretions. Hearing
about Doan's Kidney Pills at Smith
Bros, drug store, I got a box and
began using them, thinking they
might do me some good. I was not
disappointed for the first time In
years I felt relief. I continued us-
ing this remedy with constantly in-
creasing benefit. Doan's Kidney
Ptlls have done me more good than
all the doctors and medicine I pre-
viously tried and In making this
statement recommending them, I am
telling only half the story. I will
be glad to tell more about my case
to any suffering sb I did."

People of tbls day and genera'ion
hardly appreciate the great advance
rnent along educational lines thht
have been made In Collin county
during the past fifty years. In that
period of time, our free school sys-
tem has sprung Into existence. Fif-
ty years ago there were scarcely
any school houses In the entire
county Those that were here were
private Institution* aud free tui-
tion was not even thought of In
fact, prejudice agaln*t free schools
predominated. Among the pioneer
advocates or rree public school*,
who Is still living, was E W. Klrk-
patrick, one of McKlnney* most
widely known citizens and still rar-
fained on account or his public apirit
and progressive ideas.
IB 1868 Judge R. L. Waddill
wrote to Bethany College, West Vir-
ginia, for a teacher. In response, A.
L. Darnall came and taught In a
frame building erected by Judge
Waddill in the latter's yard. He
taught several terms. Mr. Darnall
afterward* edited a paper In McKln-
ney and 1* still living In Sherman.
Among his pupils were W. B. New-
some. Judge P. B. Muse, Jesse
Shaln, J. W„ B. S.. R. L. and G. N.
Waddill, Wm. Beaty, father of
Judge A. L. Beaty of Sherman. Ad-
dison Clark, long a distinguished
Texas educator, R. C. Horn and oth-
ers. Judge Waddill provided house
and board for Mr. Darnall in return
for free tuition for his children. Mr.
Darnall received for his services tui-
tion charges from all other pupils.
He had about thirty pupils in all.
