KIDNEYS.

You have noticed, no doubt, number
of people who complain of pains in their
loins, thighs and groins. And yet few of
them are aware that these are the pre-
monitory warnings of kidney trouble.
When once kidney disease has a good
hold of the system it is very hard thing
to get rid of, and in its effects on the sys-
tenn it is the most serious. Constipation
often accompanies the earlier stages, but
all these warning symptoms should be
needed promptly. JOYS Vegetable Sar-
saparilla has done more than any other
remedy known for kidney and kindred
troubles. Try it in your home and be con-
WINGED.

A New Slavery in Africa.


Some pretty fine distinctions as to what
does and what does not constitute slavery
are drawn by Europeans in Africa. In the
French Senate the other day NJ. Isaac di-
rected attention to gross acts of violence
and cruelty which had been committed, he
said, under the very eyes of the French au-
thorities in the Senegal and the Soudan.
He went on to declare that. after success
full expedition, the prisoners, male and
female, were distributed among the native
auxiliaries, and the operations of the ma
tive slave-traders were carried on without
let or hindrance. He had recent informa-
ton derived from French explorer, NJ.
Guillaumet, who wrote that the slave
trade was openly carried on in the Sou
dan. He had been informed that French
resident in Senegal, NJ. Huchard, had writ
ten to the Colonial Minister describing
a fearful scene which had taken place
at Lambaye; the village had been burned
down and the women and children carried
off as slaves. NJ. Chautemps, Minister for
the Colonies, denied that he had received
the letter and declared that the facts
alleged by NJ. Isaac were exaggerations.
The natives of the village that had been
burned down for resisting the French
authorities had not been made slaves of;
they had been merely distributed among
six other villages, where they would have
to remain for six years under the surveil
lance of responsible native chiefs. This,
he said, amid much uproar, was not
slavery, but simply enforced residence.
As to the alleged distribution of natives
belonging to the family of Ussman Bari,
he admitted that sixteen persons had,
after the capture of the village of Diun-
under the superintendence of a distin-
guished officer, been handed over to the
care of native non-commissioned officers
and rifemen. But this measure had been
a perfect blessing to the captives."
Whether this was the opinion of the cap
tives themselves did not. appeKr.-New

BENJAMIN ROMANS TOMB.
Its Destruction in Georgetown Caused
by the March of Progress.

The march of improvement in that part
of Washington formerly known as George
town, and older by many years than other
parts OF the city, has compelled the
destruction of the tomb of Benjamin Ho-
mans, located in the old Presbyterian ceme
terry, in connection with whom Dolly
Madison's heroic feat of 1914 was accom-
plished. Romans was Chief Clerk of the
War Department during the war of 1872,
and at the time the British invaded
the capital. upon his own responsibility,
he took steps to preserve the public rec
ords. He sent two wagon-loads OF docU
ments to thescanal-boat of Captain Daniel
Collins, and placed two armed soldiers on
guard, John Hull and Jacob Baltzer, tell
ing them TO allow no one to come on
board. A little later so the story runs, a
beautiful lady, who proved to be Dolly
Madison, drove down to the boat and gave
William Underwood trunk, telling him
TO take great care of it and that he should
be rewarded.
Among the articles in the trunk was the
canvas of Peale's portrait of Washington,
then hanging in the White House, but
now in the Senate wing of the Capitol.
Then Romans gave the order to Sherwood

ARREST OF PATRON.
The Man He Stabbed Said to Be In a
Critical Condition.

SAN JOSE, CAL, Sept. 15.-Porfirio Pa
tron, who stabbed Albert Good at Morgan
Hill last evening, was arrested by Sheriff
Lyn don about o'clock this morning two
miles east of Madrone. He was seated
ABOUT campfire preparing his breakfast
and his horse was tethered few yards away.
Patron offered no resistance, and was
brought to the County Jail. He refuses to
talk about the affray. His head is badly
bruised and cut and shows evidence of a
fierce struggle. He exhibits a slight cut
in his right leg, which he says was inflicted
by Good. Patron is a Spaniard and about
80 years of age.
Goods condition is critical, and the
chances are against his recovery.
The stabbing affray is the outcome of
an old quarrel, which started several
months ago in a discussion between the
two men as to their skill with boxing
gloves At that time they put on the
gloves, and but for the interference of
friends the fight might have ended fatally.

NAPA's UNION HIGH SCHOOL,

The Tdn Lery for 1T Expected to Be Made
at Once
ST. HELENA, CAL, Sept. 15.-St.
Helena is happy over the decision of the
County Attorney that makes it possible for
the Supervisors to make the tax levy for
the Union High School without contest or
delay, and there seems to be no doubt that
the board will order the levy tomorrow.
In Napa the favorable result of the high
school vote of two weeks ago will probably
be annulled by the fact that, although
majority OF the taxpayers Of the school
district signed the petition calling for an
election, the petition did not contain
majority of the names of householders that
appeared on the preceding school census,
which the law seems to demand. This is
new combination that does not seem to
have been brought out before and was
raised in the case of the Union High
School election held in the st. Helena and
twelve contiguous districts month ago.
Notwithstanding the decision of the At
torney-General that Union High School
cannot be opened in a rented building. the
trustees here have decided to go ahead and
occupy rented quarters until new struc-
ture can be built, and the school will be
opened Monday. Already over forty pu-
pills have signifed their intention of being
present,
