THE residence of Earl Russell at Maiden
head, on the Thames, was burned to the
ground last Wednesday There is no doubt
but what the fire was Of incendiary origin,
as Earl Russell has recently received sew
eral threatening letters, because of the suit
for criminal libel brought by him against
his mother-in-law.
A London Times editorial, says that the
declarations of hrmuess on the part
Of the government of Madrid will not
suffice to rid it of its difficulty. 1t also
declares that whatever may be the consti-
tutional futility of the action of the Con-
gress at Washington. its moral effect will
be to encourage the Cuban insurgents, and
depress the Spaniards.
RECENT arrests have been made in Con.
stantnople of members of the Young Turks
Party, bringing the total number OF prison
ers in excess of 400. The names Of the men
recently made prisoners were obtained from
former persons arrested. The latter were
tortured in prison in order to compel them
to divulge the names of their associates in
the political movement referred TO.
In referring to the statement that the
Spanish minister OF war is preparing a
pamphlet for the use of the army aud navy,
in case OF war with the United States, the
London Daily NeaCs says It seems that Spain
has consented TO take hand in the inter
national game of bluff opened by Senator

A SERIOUS SUBJECT
That viii Well Repay Our Citizens to
Carefully Consider.

Kidneys can't talk, but if you don't treat
them rightly you will hear from them.
They have language of their own This is
how they tell you.
When you work too hard, what follows?
You are tired, aren't you?
It's just the same with the kidneys, they get
tired, they have so much to do
You stoop over at some occupation.
GU strain yourself lifting.
You walk too far, or ride too far.
You call this over-eXertion. You cannot
sleep when night comes.
Your back aches Your head aches, often
you ache all over.
Oh, you say, it's because I'm tired
Now this isn't right, it's because your kid
neys are tired.
They can only do just so much, and the lift
ing, STOPPING, straining or exerting has re-
tarded their action.
The heart has pushed the blood into them
faster than they can filter it.
The filter is overtaxed and becomes clogged.
They cry for assistance in many aches that
follow.
Nothing starts the kidneys working quicker
than Doan's Kidney Pills.
1t is useless to take them for any disorders
of the stomach or arrangements of the liver.
Indirectly they will help such troubles by
throwing off some of the effete or waste
matter of the body through the kidneys, but
they won't cure liver complaint any more
than they will cure consumption.
They are non purgative, easy to take. con-
venient to carry they produce no reaction;
and can be given to the weakest child.

The following appeared last week in the
New York Herald: Bradley Newell has
been in New York for several days He
has been the subject of several interesting
articles in New York papers, and was in
vited to give an exhibition of his power in
the New York Herald office. A case Of
chronic neuralgia was treated. The patient
claimed TO be free from pain in five min
utes. The pain returned in ten minutes,
less acute than before, and a second treat
ment gave immunity from it for three
hours. A Herald representative took Mr..
Newell TO the office of DR., +. e Miller but
the test with the galvanometer failed to
show that Mr.. Newell was possessed of
electrical force. DIR. Miller said Mr.
Newell's power may be electricity or gal
vanism, but it cannot be reproduced by
scientific methods. Newell reviewed his
record for the past year and One-haf, telling
the familiar story Of first treating his wife
and then his neighbors, his trip abroad and
the treatment which he gave TO the Prince
OF Wales. Newell told the Herald repre-
sentative that when he spent his three first
days in Brattleboro as a healer he received
S400. Since year ago last August about
$40, 900 has been paid him. He says he has
paid off a mortgage of $1,000 on his Jack
sonville property, and has about 1000 left.
His travelling expenses have been about
$1,000 and the rest - over SIS, 1000 I've
given away TO people who needed IL more
than l did"

SOMETHING TO KNow.-It may be
worth something to know that the very
best medicine for restoring the tired
out nervous system to a healthy vigor
is Electric Bitters. This medicine is
purely vegetable, acts by giving tone
TO the nerve centers in the stomach,
gently stimulates the liver and kidneys,
and aids these organs in thro wing off
impurities in the blood. Electric Bit
tiers improves the appetite, aids diges-
ton, and is pronounced by those who
have tried it as the very best blood
purifier and nerve tonic. Try it. Sold

In order to try and carry out the pre-
tensions of the meeting the manipulate
ors got hold OF an old man from Chica-
go by the name of Henry Burkholder,
a goldbug, whom they announced as
secretary OF the mining exchange in
Chicago, and secured from him a state
ment that there were thousands Of dol
lars in the east awaiting investment in
Wyoming mines as soon as Mckinley
was elected. B%urkholder was taken up
to the club and passed through the cir
Gle about town and was finally, when
in the proper condition. induced to
sign this statement, and 1t was read
from the platform at the meeting Sat.
urday night. Later in the night Burk-
holder was further oiled up and an
other statement was secured from him,
which is not yet known to the public
and probably little OF it can be remem
bered by Burkholder himself. People
