Your blood is what nourishes your
body.
New blood is made every minute
1t goes to the lungs, gets fresh air,
and then passes through the body.
In passing. it deposits new flesh. fat,
bones. etc., and takes up worn Out
matter.
kidneys. The kidneys filter it out
Of the blood and throw it out of the
body.
That is, when they are well,
they do.
When your kidneys are we'll, they
act as perfect filters, to keep your
blood pure. When they are sick.
they act imperfectly. They leave
the bad matter in. Sometimes they
take out the good.
There is nothing more poisonous
than bad blood.
A proof of this is rheumatism. 1t
is simply a blood-poisoning caused
by the bad matter left in the blood
by sick kidneys.
Bright's disease is the kidneys
working the other way-taking the
good food out of the blood.
Both kinds of kidney sickness are
dangerous.
Both can be cured by DIR. Hobbs
Sparagus Kidney Pills.
One of the most wonderful facts OF
our body is this natural filter inside
US. Our kidneys are very important
organs. We don't take enough care
of them. We are sick oftener than
there is need for. 1t is simply be-
cause we take no heed to our kid
neys.
Sick kidneys show their effects in
many different diseases,
Rheumatism and Bright's Disease
are very common, Anrmia, Neural
gia, Pain in the Back. Dizziness,
Bladder Troubles, Gravel, Diabetes,
Sleeplessness, Nervousness.
These are only a few symptoms,
or so-called diseases" Back of
them all are the sick kidneys.
Once the filters can be made to
work, all these symptoms will dis
appear.
DIR. Hobbs Sparagus Kidney Pills
are made principally from the roots
Of the asparagus plant, which has a
special curative action on the kid
neys. 1t gives them new life and
strength. 1t helps them to do their
work as it ought to be done. 1t
cures their sickness. 1t cleans and
renews the filter.
When the kidneys are we'll you
will feel great difference at once.
Your complexion will clear. and
your whole body will get renewed
life and freshness.
This is the effect of DIR. Hobbs
Sparagus Kidney Pills on the sick
kidneys, of the re-vitalized kidneys
on the impure blood.
With course of DIR. Hobbs Spara-
gus Kidney Pills you will get new
life. They will cure when other
medicines, which do not reach the
real seat of disease, cannot helm
you.

men of Nebraska, as they had Sa,000O 900 al stake to about S250,000 on the part of the Nebraskans.
 So Senators Caffery and Blanchard and Judge Semmes of Louisiana joined EX- Senator MandeTson of Nebraska in the efforts to satisfy the comptroller that the proper thing to do was to issue the war rants. They failed to induce either Sec retary Carlisle or President Cleveland to interfere in behalf of their clients. both of those officials asserting that the comp troller was supreme in his sphere.
 Among those present in the stuffy lit tie office of the comptroller were various gentlemen who were to take part in the argument, Representatives Meyer and Price of Louisiana, several department officials and outside attorneys, two Louis- jana sugar planters and representatives of the press.
 Senator Manderson was the last of the interested parties to reach the room and as he entered Comptroller Bowler said that he was ready to hear whatever those interested had to present. Senator Man derson, in opening the case for the sugar men, said that he approached the matter in question with a great degree or re- luctance. The question involved was ol momentous interest, an interest or great promise in the state of Nebraska. He was satisfied that the matter would have a fair hearing by MT Bowler, and trust ing implicitly in him, he did not desp9nd of the final outcome. No case had ever been presented to any tribunal haVlhs more equity. He reviewed the history or the legislation regarding the bounty and referring to the Mckinley law said that under 1t the government solennly pledged that if people would embark in the industry of sugar producing, if they would invest their capital in 1t, they would be paid bounty The Oxnard com pany. for whom he specially appeared, embarked, after careful study and in good faith. Did they have the right to rely upon this legislation, approved by the president? If not what could they rely upon? The company had lost money. which he did not believe would have been the case had the Mckinley law been kept upon the statute books.

Dr. Salmon Explains Its Nature and Means
 of Communication.
 Washington, Aug. 7-Dr. Salmon, chief of the bureau of animal industry, when asked in regard to the reported outbreak of Texas fever in Warren county, Tenn, stated that the department had no ad- vices of the existence of the disease at that place He added that the county named is not very far north from the boundary line of the Texas fever dis trict and there is more or less movement of cattle for a short distance across the line which leads to local infections of very small extent and of no consequence to the country at large The cattle in the Texas fever district are covered with a species of tick, which they distribute when they are moved outside of the dis trict, and this tick produces the disease in animals which are not accustomed to its attacks. The disease however, does not spread from one susceptible animal to another and is consequently self-lim- tied.
 Inspectors guard the principal railroads and the large stock yards so that it is impossible for any of these cattle to be shipped abroad, or to cause disease in this country, except in isolated cases near the boundary line of the infected district similar to that which is now re- ported from Tennessee.

MIR. BOWLER IS OBDURATE.
An Extraordinary Argument by Senator Man
 derson in Behalf of the Bounty.

Washington. Aug. 7.-An extraordinary argument, which began in the office of the comptroller of the treasury today. was brought about by Mir. Bower's re- fusal to issue a warrant for about s12,500 in favor of the Oxnard Beet Sugar com palyio ska, certified to the auditor by tlle commissi' ner of internal revenue and ly the auditor sent to the comptroller for his action. MT. Bowler was in doubt upon looking into the case of the consti- tu,.oaali of the appropriation to pay 0 bounty on the crop of 1894, contained in the new teiiT law, inasmuch as the court of epp-als of the District of Columbia had de .id-d that bountics themselves w.re u.con tit .tional, and he notified the clalma n.a that until he was satisfied of-tfie prorr:.ty asd legality of the law he sho.,d decline to issue warrants, and today was fixed for hearing arguments on the question.
 This determination of the comptroller interested the cane sugar men of Louis ,ana far more than 1t did the beet sugar

DURANT CASE ADJOURNED.
Sensational Story AAoat That the Jury Has Been Tempered With-Court Declines
 to Hear Brown.

San Francisco, Aug. 7.-Just after the opening of court in the Durant case this morning District Attorney Barnes and MT. Dickinson. one of the attorneys for the defense, held a consultation with Judge Murphy, after which MT. Barnes asked for an adjournment of the case. The attorneys for the defense concurred in the request. MT. Barnes said that cer- tain circumstances had arisen which made it necessary to ask for the adjourn ment. Judge Murphy said he was op- posed to any unnecessary delay, but he thought an adjournment was proper in view of what had been communicated to him. It is understood an attempt has been made to tamper with some of the jurors. Various sensational reports are in circulation, but nothing definite can be learned.
 In c6hnection with these rumors 1t is significant that Walter s. Brown, one of the jurors, arose during the proceedings and asked to make statement. The court, however, declined to hear him un- til tomorrow morning. It Is intimated that the withdrawal of Brown from the panel has been requested both by the prosecution 9pd the defensA

TEDDY WAS CALLED DOWN,
But He Refused to FIutter From the Perch,
 The Next Move.

New York, Aug. 7.-The Evening Sun publishes the following.
 Mayor Strong held conference today with President Roosevelt regarding the enforcement of the excise laws. When he sent fer MT. Roosevelt the mayor, it is said, distinctly requested the police board to request T general halt, and to the mayors surprise MT. Roosevelt de- clined to do so. In Q word he refused point blank to change his views on the enforcement of the excise law.
 The politicians behind Mayor Strong will now try Alderman Goodman's plan and shift the responsibility for closing or not closing on the voters themselves. Alderman Goodman offered an excise res-s olution at the board meeting, which was adopted, directing the aliermanic com mittee on excise to give public hearings on the Sunday closing question and then draft an excise or local option bill for presentation to the legislature at the opening of the next session. The com mittee has not yet fixed date for a pub lie hearing on the question.
 President Roosevelt declined to say anything today of his interview with Mayor Strong yesterday and his reported call down in regard to his enforcement of the excise law. 'I could deny 1t if I would" he said, "but don't want to say anything that will bring up discussion of the subject"
