TIE INCREASING FREQUENCY

THE INCREASING FREQUENCY
of cases of kidney disease of aggravated
and dangerous character. is matter for seri-
GUS concern among medical practitioners.
NO kidney disease can be trivial, nor can it
safely be neglected, even for day. When
the kidneys imperfectly discharge their
functions, and fail to eliminate the uric acid
from the blood, or set up the secretion of
calcareous matter, an hours delay in treat
ment is fraught with the gravest peril.
Temporary palliative medicines only be-
guile the sufferer to false hopes, while the
diseased condition of the organs is steadily
growing more dangerous. The only medi-
cine that has shown itself efficacious in
thus curing thousands of the most severe
cases of kidney diseases is DIR. David Ken
nedy's Favorite Remedy. 1t has even re-
stored perfect health to patients who had
been given up by the physicians. For sale

BITS FROM BOUNTIFUL.

Since THE HERALD noted the bonding of
an electric street car line between Bounti-
full and Salt Lake, and the further fact
that the stock yards were to be located
here, Bountiful real estate has taken an
upward shoot. There is no power that can
hold Bountiful back. Her close proximity
to Salt Lake, which must always be the
leading city in the territory, and in the
inter mountain region, makes Bountiful a
desirable place for a residence. Pure air
and pure water are two of the requisites
for city Of homes, and these are here in
abundance The new car line will bring
Us within thirty minutes of Salt Lake.
Eight brick yards are now running and
doing good business.
A large number of teams are employed in
hauling bricks to Salt Lake, tor the reason
that the railway companies are unable to
supply the cars necessary. 3.

and set his wits to work to get rid Of his
load. There was little gully a
short distance ahead that would
conceal him from the view
ran into the ravine and turning his horses
heads up hill hastily removed the hind gate
of the wagon and rolled the barrel down
the mountain. 1t went spinning merrily
along down into the Marias river without
mishap. The driver thereupon lit his pipe
and drove leisurely on his way. Fhe officers
were sure they had made haul, and rode
up with an air of confidence. They looked
into the wagon, but there was nothing there.
After an exchange of salutations and ques-
tions the officers moved on after more pro
titable game. When they were out of sight
the man with the team turned around
the river. About half mile below he
found his barrel floating gently down to-
ward the Gulf of Mexico. The floating
cargo was soon recovered, however, and
safely reached its destination.
The Indians that visited the northern
country and were nearly bankrupted by the
moonshiners, consisted of the following
tribes: The Blackfeet, Bloods, Crees. Pie
gans, Sarcees, Stonys and kootnais.
As a matter Of course lawlessness prevail
rifle. Kanouse & Neighbors were partners
in the whisky business. So long as they
were on the other side of the line and need
| ed each others assistance to stand OF the
Indians everything went we'll, but when
they had crossed the line and were almost
free from danger, with big lot of hides,
furs and ponies. Kanouse grew covetous and
wanted all. He and Neighbers stood guard
one night together, and in the
early morning, kanouse shot the
unsuspecting partner and killed him, and
| then disposed of the whole outfit as though
it was his own. He was tried for the crime,
rbut managed to escape. He afterwards re-
turned to the northern country and received
a bullet through the shoulder from an In
dian rifle, which nearly put an end to his
existence. But with remarkable nerve he
managed to keep up courage, and when he
reached Helena the wound was gangrened
and notifying. The bone above the elbow
was taken out and he again returned to the
north, where he is probably now living.
| kanouse appeared to be man without
heart or conscience. Day and Mitchell were
| killed while in an Indian camp, as we'll as
many others at different times.
| To show how utterly lawless the country
was it is only necessary to produce letter
written by a resident of Whoop-Up to a
friend in this city in 1873. He said:
| Dear friend: My partner, Bill Geary, got
: to putting on airs, and ! shot him and he is
dead. My potatoes are looking we'll. Yours
| truly. Skookum Joe.
But all is peace on the border at the present
time. The boundary was established IN 1874
party of troops denominated as mounted
| police in the neighborhood of Whoop-up
| and the moonshining traffic was broken VI
entirely, and although some smuggling II
| still carried on. it is done very quietly anc
| the goods consist principally of opium.

British possessions, which was carried on
by as tough set of adventurers as ever en-
oaped in anv questionable business. They
were generally men who were careless of
life and when they went into that region
they may be said to have literally taken
their lives in their own hands to offer to the
sayages of that wild region. The country
was peopled only by Indians, and these OF
the widest kind, but their love for ire
water was not to be quenched While NE
lasted. These moonshiners usually started
out from TT. Benton with their goods,
which consisted of guns and ammunition
for protection, provisions, blankets, tobac-
CO ami few barrels of high wines. The
trip was across the hills in wagons, and
they made the dust fly when once started.
1t was and is against the law for any one to
take whisky onto an Indian reservation and
when the officers of the government learned
of the traffic many schemes were invented
for outwitting the I. S. marshals. Our
own city marshal. Capt. c. d. Hard, had
that section of country assigned to him,
but he never made a howllng success OF
capturing the moonshiners of the border.
When once across the line there was no
danger of molestation. 1t was the usual
custom for three or four different traders to
combine together for protection. A stock
ade was built of log houses in the shape of
a parallelogram. The goods were stored in
one end and tue side buildings We're par
titioned off into booths One end of the
stockade was fastened up with picket
fence which was entered through gate.
The Indians were admitted into the inclo-
sure through the gate and stood in the open
space, which was shaped like Il Z. Bat few
were admitted at a time and when the
trading was completed they We're hustled
out and others came III. The traders had
openings in the sides of the buildings
through which the goods We're passed in ano
out, thew were s>)rt OF high window
the lower part of which came up to a mans
