gave lecture Sunday evening in the
Congregational church, which was a
comprehensive history of the work of
that denomination in Iowa and his
tory OF the organization OF the Iowa
college in 1S47, and of its work to
the present. His lecture was amply
illustrated by stereoscopic views of
the various primitive ediices of the
college and of the church at Denmark,
Pennington, Fairfield, and Grinnell,
and also of early as well as recent
men connected with the work, includ-
ing professors, citizens, prominent
among which was very lifelike por-
trait of Josiah B. Grinnell, after
whom the place was named. The
lecture was deeply interesting in its
every phase.

HOW TO FIND OUT.

Fill a bottle or common glass with
urine and let it stand twenty-four
hours; sediment or settling indicates
an unhealthy condition of the kid
neys. When urine stains linen it is
positive evidence of kidney trouble.
Too frequent desire to urlnate 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 DIR. Kilmer's
Swamp Root, the great kidney reme-
dy fulfills every wish in relieving pain
in the back, kidneys, liver, bladder
and every part of the urinary pas
sages. It corrects inability to hold
urine and scalding pain in passing it,
or had 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 urinate. The mild and the extra
ordinary effect of Swamp-Rootis soon
realized. 1t stands the highest for it's
wonderful cures of the most distress
sing cases. If you need medicine
you should have the best. Sold by
druggists price fifty cents and one

There is but a small force working at present, and whether these will be increased to a large force or laid of entirely the company will in a short time decide. The mines, owing in very large mea- sure to the low price of lead, are not paying the stockholders satisfactory dividends, but it is thought that with increased facilities the result would be better, hence the company is debating the adyisability of putting in extensive machinery and starting up again on scale of great magni- tude.

Washington, July 6.-The provision
Tor n tax on stock and bond transac-
tons In connection with the tariff bill,
which was agreed upon at the caucus
OF Republican senators. was suggested
by Senator Lodge of Massachusetts
ana grew out Of a statement that with
the tea and beer provisions Withdrawn
the tarifr bill was likely to fall short
to the extent of $4,000. 600 in provld-
Ing sufficient revenue to meet the de-
mands OF the government. The sug-
gestion as made by Mr.. Lodge was
that tax Of cents per share should
be levied upon every share of stock
sold Mt Il stock exchange or at any
other place and that q similar tax of 2
cents should be collected upon all
bonds sold on the stock exchange or
elsewhere. The caucus accepted the
suggestion, but decided to leave the
formulation of the amendment with
possibly Il change of rates to the
finance committee. The finance COM
mittee took the matter up to-day. but
did not reach Il definite conclusion. A
rough estimate places the amount of
revenue the provision will furnish mt

Impose the extra tax on beer. but Ii
also, at the suggestion of Senator
Pritchard. receded from the proposed
changes on manufactured tobacco. III

hundreds. In Chicago the mercury reg
istercd close to 90 degrees for the great

The officers here say $4,000 men are

dent Ratchford says this is the best
time to settle the question Of wages,
as during the summer the men can
make use of their little garden patches
to obtain subsistence. The needs OF
clothing are not SO grent us In winter.
The proposed scale is intended by
the miners to make work for miners
profitable to them In the Pittsburg dis
trict and elsewhere. PittsburS, as
claimed, is paying tlfty-four cents per
ton and Ohio fifty. To make the differ
ence what the OliIoans think it ought
to be they threaten to reduce the
wages to forty-tive. The miners pro-
pose, IL possible, to raise Pittsburs
prices SO as to prevent reduction In
Ohio to forty-five, and the possibility
of even n further reduction here in case
Pittsburg should keep on lowering, as
Ohio lowered. to maintain the differen-
tial Of nine cents.
