ONE OF TWO WAYS,

The bladder was created for one mr.
pose, namely, receptacle for the urine.
and as such it is notliable to any form Of
disease except by one of two ways. The
hrst way is from imperfect action of the
kidneys. The second way is from care
less local treatment of other diseases.
CHIEF CAUSE.
Unhealthy urine from unhealthy kid
neys is the chief cause of bladder troub-
les. So the womb, like the bladder, was
created Tor enc purpose, and if not doc
tored too much is not liable to weakness
or disease, except in rare cases. 1t is
situated back of and very close to the
bladder, therefore Any pain, disease or
inconvenience manifested in the kidneys,
back, bladder or urinary passage is often,
by mistake, attributed to female weak
ness or womb trouble of some sort. The
error is easily made and may be as east
lY avoided. To find out correctly set
your urine aside for twenty-four hours
sediment or settling indicates kidney
or bladder trouble. The mild and extra
ordinary effect Of DR.. Gilmer's swamp
Root, the great kidney and bladder rem
edy, is sOou realized. If you need a
medicine you should have the best. At

We're an inch long. We are not in the

THE SLAUGHTER OF THE MINERS.

The awful occurrence at HazeltOn
Penn. Friday, in which sixty miners
were shot down by sheriff and his
deputies while marching along a pub
lie highway, cannot but spread conster-
nation and sorrow all over this land.
No condemnation can be too strong for
the abuse of the rights Of the courts
that has led up to the shooting down of
these men. This should be the death
knell Of government by injunction.
The press and the people of the coun-
try will demand in no uncertain tones
That Justice be done. The authority of
the wicked sheriff, who in anger 'gaye
the order to fire and murdered so many
men, was not an authority that in jus
tee should be granted or in justice
should be exercised. The responsible
ty for the heap of dead who lie in Ha-
zelton is with the courts that issued in
functions applied for By the coal barons
and operators in order that they might
the better cOerCe the poverty stricken
miners to return to their slavery at
starvation wages.
