HOW TO GET
STRENGTH.
BLOOD GIVES STRENGTH.
Kidneys Filter the Blood and Take Out
Poisonous Matter Which WeakenS
the S Stem-BlOOd and Kidney
Troubles Related-HOW
They May Be Got
Rid of.


Blood is the strength of the body.
1t makes flesh and muscle. 1t gets
nourishment from the stomach ana
bowels, and distributes it where needed
1t drains away all the worn out mat
ter.
some of our tissue or flesh. This worn
out matter is carried away by the blood
The blood which contains it is poison
GUS, because the dead tissue is poisonous
So it goes to the kidneys to be purified
The kidneys are simply blood filters.
They filter out the bad matter from
the blood and expel it from the body.
They leave the good matter in.
The purified blood goes on and builds
up the body.
But there comes a time when the kid
neys don't do their duty.
Water filters need cleaning now ana
then. So do blood filters.
When your kidneys are overworked'
they fall sick. When they are sick, they
can t filter your blood.

B. lights diseafe, D a. etes, Nephritis, etc.
These kidney troubles are also caused
by impure blood.
First the kidneys refuse TO work, then
the impure blood poisons the system, sand
with it the kidneys themselves
Many people make the mistake OF sup
posing the stomach can purify the blood.
1t can't
Only the kidneys can do it.
That is what they are there for.
So that ordinary ''blood purifiers" are
a mistake.
A kidney medicine is What should be

And then, only kidney medicine
that has the proper action on the kid
neys, such as DR.. Hcbb's Sparagus
Kidney Pills.
Asparagus is the only plant
which has just the right medicinal &c
ton on the kidneys, to cure them when
overworked and tone them up, SO that
they commence again to purify the blood.
Asparagus cures the sick kidneys and

CHESTNUT STREET SCHOOL.
1t Must Be Closed While Repairs Are
Made.

Yesterday discovery was made in the
Chestnut street school house which will
have to be attended to Immediately. 1t
was found that the drain pipe in the rear
of the building, leading from the cutters
on the roof, was stopped up SO that it
had little. if any connection with the
sewer. For sometime, therefore, the
water from the roof. instead of going
into the sewer, has been soaking into
the ground under the brick floor Of the
basement. In order to make the neces-
sary repairs it will be necessary to dig
up the cellar floor to some extent and 1t
is not thought safe to keep the school in
session while this is being done.
Chestnut street school will accordingly
be closed until further notice, but 1t IS
hoped the building will be in condition
to reopen by next Monday.

ENABLES w. LEIGHTON.

Our people were shocked on Monday eve
ming, the 21s when word was passed from
mouth TO mouth ''that Charles Leighton
was drowned.'' The force of this report al
most dazed people and they were slow to
realize its truth. He was cutting ice alone
on Harriman's pond, almost in halling DIS
lance of his home, and it is Thought tnat ne
slipped while in the act of pulling out a
cake of ice and fell into the water. The
watch ound on his person stopped at TWEEN
ty-three minutes OF -FOUR, Whlcn prooapiy
fixes the exact time of the accident. His
team was standing loaded ready to return
home, only two cakes being found In the
water. The accident was discovered before
five o'clock. The water was little more
than twenty feet deep. and the Doay recov-
cred early in the evening, not having driit-
ed away from the small hole In the Ice. he
was the only child of John and Jane Lind
sey Leighton. and was born in this town,
july 5th. 1853. This blow falls with two
fold force, coming as it did without a mo-
ments warning. 1t snatches from Irali,
tender woman a strong. loving husDand,
and from aged parents the StaH Oh tneiI ue-
cliping years. Charles Leighton was noble,
good and honorable from boy up. he
was class leader and superintendent OF the
Sabbath school at the Nj. Il. churcn, OF
which church he was an ardent lover ana
liberal supporter. He was president OF the

Armour, s. D., May 23.-The opening

opening of vast bodies Of Indian land.
The fact that socners We're not pre-

to the hour when lawful settlement
could not be made rendered the set

free-for-all. III addition to those who
had taken possession of claim during

been quietly going upon the reserva-

hours. while scores awaited the hour
when the reservation was declared

Of homesteaders and preliminary steps
toward the cultivation of the land

was without conflicts of a serious
nature, and was without question in
this particular, the most orderly open

place in the West. While the number
Of hOmesteaders who have taken lands
on the reservation is very gratifying
the magnitude of the crowd was not

the reason given for this is that too

The land is really valuable, and what
