The river and harbor bill passed by
congress was amended in the senate by
increasing the aggregate amount OF the
appropriation million and half dollars,
and passed by that body, Besides the
amendment mentioned several other
changes were made, reducing the
amounts named for some streams and
localities and increasing them at others
These changes in the house bill has
angered members of the majority side Of
that body, it is said, to such an extent
that they declare they will not agree to
the senate amendments. From the pres
ent outlook, therefore, the chances for
success to any bill this session are b. no
means encouraging. The river and har-
Dor bill passed by the Forty-ninth con-
gress was killed by the president, for
reasons assigned in his veto message. and
if a compromise should be effected on
the pending bill it is likely to meet the
fate of the last one when 1t reaches the
white house.

Gratifying reports come from Berlin of
the improved condition of the emperor.
He has been able 10 ride out, much TO the
delight of his people, and has shown an
increase in strength and decrease in the
more serious symptoms of the disease
that is very gratifying to all. Although
his physicians do not give any assurance
of ms certain recovery, they yet enter
tain hope that he may be restored 10
health, and they say that his ultimate
recovery is by no means impossible
This Is good news not only TO the EN-
peror's subjects. but TO the large circle of
his friends in other lands. His manly.
chivalrous and high-minded conduct has
commanded the admiration of the world
and led to the universal hope and desire
that he might be spared for many years
to rule with wisdom over the German
nation.

the certainty of going to the penitentiary
would prevent drunken lunatic from
killing somebody. As matter of course
Rothrock demonstrated that he would
kill somebody when he gets drunk. but
then it may have been Missouri whisky
that he drank in the first instance, and
of course he will have more sense than
to drink that sort OF stuff again. For the
safety of the people now living on the
earth let US hope that Rothrock may not
drink any more Missouri whisky.

The announcement by the Chicago po-

wanted but that they are looking for big
ger game is an admission that they have
been lying to the public. To this the
public will say, ''as you admit that you
lied when you said that you did want
Tascott, how are we to know that you
are not lying again, now that you say
you don't want him." Singular that

Some Of the provisions of the Blair
Sunday observance bill, INTRODUCED in the
senate by the New Hampshire senator,
are SO wholly impracticable as to render
the measure imperative if it We're en-
acted into law. The motives that
prompted the senator to introduce the
measure are all right from a moral stand
impracticable to accomplish the ends de-
sired by national legislation, but that it
is not the province of congress to legis-
late upon them. As in the case of his
famous educational bill, the senator's
intentions are commendable; the trouble
is with the methods Of accomplishing
the purpose in view.

friends would cal YOU foolish.
The trouble with the doctors is that
they can't cure advanced diseases of GER
tain forms, and they know it. And yet
they will not allow the use of any outside
proprietary medicine, which they know
has cured the disease.
For instance:
Kidney disease has no marked individ-
ual symptoms. 1t produces all sorts of
symptoms of the cOmmOnest diseases.
Not being able to treat the disease itself
with success, the bigOted physician treats
these symptoms
But what good does that do? In order
to stop the freshet. YOU must stop the
flood 1t won't do TO try brushing it
away with a broom.
DR. j. G. Holland, whom all the world
admired as a teacher of sense, wrote in
Scribncr's Monthly: at is a fact that
many Of the best proprietary medicines
of the day are more successful than many
physicians, and most of them were first
discovered and used in actual medical
practice"
DR.. Robson, of the Royal Navy Of
England, enthusiastically indorses War
ner's safe cure, as indeed do many hun
dreds of thousands all over the world
The late DR.. DiO Lewis, who almost
never used medicines, commended 1t
highly and said if he had any kidney dis
ease he would use it.
This evidence is conclusive.
Paralysis, consumption, pneumonia,
apOplexy, heart disease, general debility,
rheumatism, all these common disorders
are often only symptoms of kidney dis
ease. Instead of admitting their ina
bility to cure this disorder, doctors give
their attention to the symptoms. If they
cure one, another comes, and finally
death takes the case out of their hands
Then they disguise the fact that it is
bright's disease of the kidneys apd say
that death came from paralysis, apo.
plexy, pneumonia, consumption, general
debility, rheumatism, heart disease, blood
poisoning, or some other of the names
of the direct effects Of kidney disease
They are not the real disease itself.

THE INDIANA GIRL,

You may search the towns and cities
On the wide Atlantic's shore,
You can go where you can listen
To Nisgsra's desfening roar,
You may roam the plains of Kansas
Where the cyclones mildly whirl,
But you IL find there is no better
Than the Indiana girl.
She has a head upon her shoulders,
And she knows just what she's worth;
though she wants what is sufficient
Sull she doesn't want the earth;
But II she can dress in fashion,
Weara hustle, bangs and curls,
She'll be Just about as happy
AS the most OF other girls.
Should she be farmers daughter,
III they'v any kind OF luck,
And raise lots Of corn and taters,
And right smart of garden truck,
Then with JOY her eyes win glisten
And she IL show her teeth like pearls,
For shell get some fancy filings
Just the same as other girls.
She can get heap OF learning
If she only has chance.
She attends fair or circus
Just to see the horses prance.
And f0r making all things lively,
To make them hum and whirl,
You can bet your bottom dollar
On the Indiana girl,
You may boast OF all the ladies
That are seen in foreign lauds,
OF their rank and of their titles,
And their ancestry so grand,
ButyOu'll never find, no never,
As you journey through the world,
Such a darling, such q daisy,
AS the Indiana girl.

thar pair of socks, she would have money
TO buy a new pair, instead OF spending her
time on the open territory Of the old ones.
she thinks also what q relief it would
be II she were not compelled to use the
entire proceeds Of her butter and eggs in
paying the tax on the salt she puts in the
butter and on the sugar she uses in her
coffee and fruit. The witty senator from
Kansas, Mr.. Ingalls,, gives as the only rsa-
son why women should not vote that they
have sense enough not TO want to vote.

There is no end of witchcraft and de-

they would drown.
For many years the world was shocked
at such inhumanity of man to man, but
If we were to declare that people are per-

were the so-caIled witches of old, our
statements might be received with great
incredulity.
But it is a fact.
If you do not believe It, enter any one
of the schools of medical practice, and
attempt to use preparation which the
code does not recognize, or even to rec
ommend indirectly any popular remedy,
such, for instance, as Warmers celebrated
kidney remedy, and then relate your ex-
perience.
Then you'll admit the fact.
