Have you friends over in Rhos ? Those of our readers who have friends over in Rhos will read the following/ item with great interest. It forms one of the topics amongst our Rhos neighbours. Mr David Jones, whose address is Pen- tredwr, Rhos, In my opinion Doan's backache kidney pills are a splen- did remedy for kidney trouble. I have suffered for some time («>m pains in my loins and back, I felt tired all the while even in the mornings I awoke feeling quite unfreshened and as tired, if not more so, than when I went to bed. "I tried all I could to get relief, but nothing seemed to do me any good. At length a friend, to whom I was complain- ing of the state of my health, advised me to try Doan's backache kidney pills. I got a box of them, and in a few days I notifced a difference; the pains in my back disappeared, and I began to feel vigour- ous again. I always keep a box of Doan's backache kidney pills in the house now, and on the slightest sign of the old trou- ble showing itself, I take a dose or two, and they put me right. I can strongly rocommend the pills. (Signed) David Jones." So many fatal diseases arise" from kid- ney and bladder disorders that you should begin with Doan's backache kidney pills (of which your neighbour speaks so high- ly) as soon as there are such unmistak- able symtoms of kidney disorder as drop- sy, rheumatism, bladder troubles, irregul- arities, or pain in passing water, gravel, dizziness, backache, pain in the stooping etc. For disordered kidneys can never get well without help, and kidney trouble may end fatally if neglected. Doan's backache kidney pills are two shillings and nine pence per box, or six boxes for thirteen shillings and ninepence Of all chemists and stores, or post free direct from the Foster- McClellan Co. 8, Wells street, Oxford-street, London, W. Be sure you get the same kind of pills as Mr Jones had.

RHOS BOY NEARLY KICKED TO DEATH. On Thursday evening as Johnnie Smith (son of Mr. John Smith, off Broad-street) was returning from his work in High-st., he was attacked by two boys, who, it is stated, bad a grudge against him. In the stiuggle Smith fell to the ground; and whilst there he was brutally kicked in the stomach by his assailants. The poor fellow was carried first of all unconscious to Mr Hugh Davies' shop, and medical assistance was hastily summoned. Dr J. C. Lawton Roberts, Plas Maelor, was soon in attendat c- So seiious did he con- sider the case that lie at once wired for his father, th Liwton Roberts. They had the sulfeier removed to his home, and his conoItion to-day is still most precarious. This is a most serious affair, and cet- tainly will have to be inquired into. Where were the onlookers, that they isiti not interfere ? It is a shameful thing to think that a young boy was being kicked almost to death in the publie street, and nobody interfering.

ARTHUR EDWARDS.— We are sorry to record the death of Mr Arthur Edwards, of Hill Srreet, who died on Monday evening, at the age of 42. Mr Edwards, who was well known in the district, carried on business at Johnstown and Rhos for a nnmber ot years. In former years, before the exi- gencies of business and the state of his health claimed his attention, Mr Edwards interested 'himself a good deal in local j affairs. He was for some time a member of the Rhos Parish Council, and if his health would have allowed him he would have stood for Pant Ward at the last election. About two or three years ago his health, which was never of the robust- est nature, broke down, and he passed through a very dangerous Illness. He gradually recovered much of his former strength, and was able once more to attend to his business. Some months ago, however, he was again attacked by idness, and this time it was found nsces- sary that he should have to undergo an operation. He was caretully operaudj upon, but was not able to build back his old strength. Continued illness had sapped his strength and vitality, and despite the most skillful medical aid and most careful nursing he passed away on Monday evening last. Mr Edwards was a member of Siloh Calvinistic Methodist Church, Johnstown, and always took a keen interest in the affairs of the chapel. He had a large circle of friends in the neighbourhood, all of whom will learn of his death with the greatest regret. The sympathy of the neighbourhood goes wholeheartedly out to his widow, who j has for so long endeavoured to win back t her husband's health by her untiring watchfulness and careful nursing. The funeral took place to-da\ (Friday.)

| FOOTBALL. RHOS RANGERS v JOHNSTOWN These old rival teams met for the se- cond time this season on Saturday last at Huxley's Field. Ideal weather prevailed and a large number of spectator assem- bled to watch these local teams struggle for supremacy. Johnstown turned out a strong team. Rhos had both backs ab- sent. Rhos won the toss and kicked down the incline. From the centre they nicely worked their way near the John- stown goal, but Bowei cleared and re- versed the play. The Rhos played on the defence John Davies and a recruit named Ben Wiiiiams both were successes on the defence and tackled and clea-ed splendid- ly. The Johnstown goalman had several difficult shots to clear, but mostly they grazed the upright and bar. The com- bination of the Rhos forwards was smart- ly carried out, and the centres and crosses from the wings were beautifully placed but the forwards were crowded, and the consequences were, a player shot when another player was much better placed. The Rhos scored the first goal after 20 minutes play. Parry, (centre-forwa rd) got possession and piloted himself be- tween the backs and at lightning speed made tracks for goal when at close range he drove into the net. This seemed to stir the visitors but the home trio proved too wily for the "Green"' fowards. S Jones and Lloyd played excellently and dogged' the half back at ease. The crosses of the extreme right were accu- rately judged and several of them should have been netted. Rhos conceded several corners which were placed splendidly but without tangible results. Rhos missed several chances and ought to have scored two at least. Half time arrived with Rhos leading by one goal. The second half was not expected to be so vigorous as the first, as both had played so strenuous, or at least on the part of the Rangers. From the centre Rhos made a fine start, a nice run was made by the combined forwards and nar- row was the margin when Jones grazed the bar. The Johnstown forwards were speedy and sharp but lacked confidence. The half-backs were not enough supports to the forwards. The secret of their op- ponents strength was the splendid half- backs Roberts, Mathews, and Pritchard, who were the strongest set on the Beld. Parry banged the second goal in from close range. The Rangers were contin- ually hovering near the Johnstown goal- mouth, but to beat the custodial the ball must travel. Davies and Jones on the it ft highly pleased the spectators itb their tricky short passing. Davies scored the thud 'from the touch line the ball travelled acrosk the goalmouth the goat keeper fisting it in his own goal. At the other end Davies and Williams were playing extremely well and safely tackled all comers. Sam Jones made a break- away and piloted himself: through at least haKVa-dozen defenders and ended up by whipp ng the leather into the net. Try as they would Johnstown failed to score When time was called the Rangers wort by-iour goals to none,
