HOW TO FIND OUT.

Fill bottle or common glass with
urine and let it stand twenty-four
hours; a sediment or settling indicates
an unhealthy condition of the kidneys.
When urine stains linen it is positive
evidence of kidney trouble. Too fire.
quent desire to urinate or pain in the
back, is also convincing proof that the
kidneys and bladder are out of order,
WHAT TO DO.
There is comfort in the knowledge
so often expressed, that DR.. Kilmer's
Swamp Root, the great kidney rem
edY, fulflls every wish in relieving
pain in the back, kidneys, liver, blad-
der and every part of the urinary pas
sages. 1t corrects inability to hold
urine and scalding pain in passing it,
or bad effects following use Of liquor,
wine or beer, and overcomes that un-
pleasant necessity of being compelled
to get up many times during the night
to urlnate. The mild and the extraor-
binary effect of Swamp Root is soon
realized. 1t stands the highest for its
wonderful cures of the most distressing
cases. If you need medicine you
should have the best. Sold by drug
gists, price fifty cents and one dollar.

A GOLD standard has the, advan-
tage of making prices steader, for, as
compared with silver, gold is more
staple in value, and if the standard of
value is steady, prices as measured by
the standard must also be steady. Ris-
ing prices make markets active for a
slime, but will soon affect the material
and wages, injure the productive power
of the country, and tend to decrease
exports; while suddenly falling prices
cause losses to the commercial and
economic world. Then it is best that
prices do not fuctuate violently, but it
is impossible to avoid such fluctuations
with a silver standard, and the only
remedy is to be found in gold stand
ard Secondly, a gold standard will
tend to increase exports, for, while it
makes commercial transaction with
foreign countries adopting a similar
standard more convenient, it enables
the country to avoid violent fuctua-
lions of prices and tends to develop
her industry. Again, gold standard
diminishes the exchange, fluctuations
Japans commerce has been frequently
hampered by the fuctuation of ex-
change with gold countries consequent
upon the tuctuation of silver. If she
adopts gold standard now all such
evils will not be repeated. Another
advantage is that of enabling the coun-
try to extend her machinery of circula-
ton, AS Japan progresses it becomes
necessary for her to be in constant
touch with various foreign markets,
but at present she is isolated from for
eign countries in respect of circulation.
Such inconvenience will be obviated by
q gold standard, which will render the
circulation between foreign and native
markets smooth, and give many other
financial advantages From the
speech OF Count Matsukata, Japanese
Premier, to the japanese Diet, March
3, 1897, in favor Of the adoption of the
gold standard.

two former ordinances to furnish.
TIE city attorney advised the council
not to pass the ordinance under any
consideration.
Aid Gonnermann came in and took
his seat at this point and Immediately
took issue with the city attorney. He
said that he considered that anything
the city got out of the railroad in con-
nection with this ordinance was clear
gain and he thought the railroad COM
pany was acting generously.
Aid. McGivern agreed with the city
attorney and said that it was an out
rage to gentlemen to present such an
ordinance to the council, and intimated
that the action of some of the aldermen
in their change of front would bear in
vestigation.
The aldermen finally saw that the
actual passing or not passing the ordi-
nance had nothing to do with the ac-
ceptance of the city attorneys report
and it was accepted unanimously.
The wholesale liquor dealers handed
in a communication requesting the city
not to charge them any license. After
some talk pro and con. Aid. McGivern
moved to make every wholesaler who
did not wholesale out of the same room
as his saloon, pay the $500 license.
Passed unanimously.
The city engineer and street COM
mittee reported on sewers and paving
recommending the acceptance of the
same. It was accepted and adopted.

SUPPORTERS of the Wilson bill, what
there are of them, are trying to offset
the evidence that the tariff reduction
under that measure was the true cause
of the reduction in the wages of the
coal miners by asserting that the i'm
portations of coal under that law were
no greater than under the Mckinley
law. Bless you, it is not always the
quantity imported that affects prices.
1t is the fact that articles produced by
cheap foreign labor come in at lower
prices than they can be produced with
payment of good wages at home that
does the mischief. Nova Scotia coal,
che moment the Wilson law became
effective could come into the United
States 35 cents per ton cheaper than
it could come in before, and did come
IN and drove out of the New England
markets the West Virginia coal, which
had been carried in up to that time at
such a narrow margin of profit that
1T could no longer find a market there
IN competition with the reduced rates
Of Nova Scotia coal As a result the
West Virginia coal went west into com
petition with that of the Mississippi
valley, a coal war and a traffic war fol-
lowed and cut down the wages of the
miners to just about the amount of the
reduction of the duty by the Wilson
law.

The opinion has been prevalent that
the white pine supply in the north
west, and especially in Wisconsin, is
nearly exhausted, and that the lumber
industry would soon cease to become
an important factor in the business of
the state This story has been told
and believed for years. The Mississ-
ippi Valley Lumberman, paper usu-
ally we'll informed as to all questions
that it assumes to speak upon, says
that there is yet a great supply OF
white pine in both Minnesota and Wis
consin. 1t estimates that there are
10000, 100000 feet in Wisconsin and
,0OO,O00,000 feet in Minnesota. Il
this be so the lumber interest will not
ianguish for long time.

THE period having arrived when
business confidence is returning the re-
ports begin to find their way to the
newspapers of the wages of laborers
being raised in various parts of the
country. Leon Godchau, of New Or
leans, the largest sugar planter in the
country, has just advanced the wages OF
all employees 161 per cent. In sugar
circles the opinion is general that this
advance will be conceded by all the
planters to labor employed in sugar
culture or manufacture. The skilled
labor employed in the sugar houses or
refneries are paid according to the
price the sugar commands and will get
an increase in wages of from 20 to 30
per cent. as compared with last year.

Rose Eaan'S allowance was raised 10
So per week.
The usual amount of bills we're al
lowed and new ones referred.
The resignation of those of the In
dependent Hose company who signed
the same was accepted.
The street commissioner and chief of
police were instructed to proceed &C
cording to ordinance about all defective
walks
The members of the council at this
time spent about fifteen minutes talk
ing about dogs and dog take and a
motion was made for the chief Of police
to appoint dog catcher, but motion
was lost Nothing was done in the
matter.
Then Mayor Culley brought up the
matter of the salaries paid the paving
and sewer inspectors and said that he
thought they ought to be paid more
than $3.50 per day, and said that L G.
King had been given to understand
that he would receive more. He said
he believed Aid. German had been one
of the aldermen to give him such an
understanding.
Aid. German Immediately replied
that the mayor was mistaken. He said
he had promised Mr.. King to vote to
make his salary So per day and had
done so, but the majority of the council
had voted him down, and that since
that time be had heard remarks con-
Meeting his name with the matter,
which were not true, and were an in
Justice to him, and that if the matter
came up tonight he would vote against
increasing the salary.
G0nnermann and Jacobs said they
saw no reason to increase the salary, as
they had been hired at $3.50, and there
were lots of good men at the tine who
would have been glad Of the job. The
vote on the increase to s. was tie and
the mayor voted to increase, making
5 to in favor of the increase. Some
of the aldermen claimed it took six
votes for an appropriation, but the
mayor said he was only recording his
vote and gave no decision.
Aid. Gonnermann moved to dispense
with all the help in the street depart
ment with the exception of the two
street commissioners and a man apiece
and that the commissioners be in
structed to give all their time to side
walks with the exception of fixing
West street between Market and Pearl
streets.
The motion received a second, but it
never got to vote, as the room got too
. hot" to hold the aldermen before the
discussion was over. Street Commits
sioner Boyle asked to be heard on the
subject. He said it was impossible to
run the department on the number of
hands proposed; he said that he had
run the department for over three years
and had never been called down before;
and in regard to West street, Aid.
Gonnermann himself had told him to
wait until the city got the gravel from
the railroad company. Gonnermann
Immediately said that statement was
untrue. Boyle insisted it was true and
for five minutes the two gentlemen
cussed and discussed each other in
very personal manner until Aid. Nc
Givern limited that it had gone on long
enough, so the mayor called for order,
and thus ended one of the hottest
meetings the building ever held.
