HOW TO FIND OUT.

Fill a bottle or common water glass
with urine and let it stand twenty-four
hours a sediment or settling indi-
Gates a diseased condition of the
kidneys. When urine stains linen it
is positive evidence of kidney trouble.
The frequent 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.. Kilmers
Swamp Root, the great kidney remedy
fulflls every wish in relieving pain in
the back, kidneys, liver, bladder and
every part Of the urinary passages. 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 unpleasant
necessity Of being compelled 10 get up
many times during the night to
urinate. The mild and the extraorci-
nary effect of Swamp Root is soon
realized. 1t stands the highest for its
wonderful cures of the most distress
ing cases. If you need a medicine
you should have the best. Sold by
druggists price fifty cents and one
dollar. For a sample bottle and
pamphlet, both sent free by mail,
mention The COLUMBIAN and send
your full post-office address to DR..

AsHLEMAN-Died in Wilkesbarre
March IS, Miss Ladora Ashleman,
aged ID years, month and 20 days.
1t is with peculiar feelings of sad
ness that we chronicle the early death
of one whom we had learned to love
and whose prospects for the future
were so fattering. When twelve years
Of age she received the solemn right
Of confirmation and was admitted
thereby into full membership of the
st. James Reformed Church. Sur
rounded by the hallowed influence of
Cody parents and early planted into
the house of her God, she developed
a commendable Christian character.
Being Intellectually bright and highly
endowed with the talent Of drawing,
she was a very promising daughter.
Her parents fondly cherished the hope
that some time she would be an
artist. "Man proposes but God dis
poses" Her mortal remains, which
were beautiful in the sleep of death,
were consigned to their last resting
place in the ST. James Cemetery where
many of her kindred lie, in hope of
glorious resurrection. A. II.

Wall Street Yesterday.

New York, June 19.-Today' stock mar
ket reflected profit taking, particularly
In Sugar, which was the only stock iii
which the transactions exceeded 10000
shares, and which closed more than a
point lower than yesterday. 1t was per
fectly natural in view of the almost con-
tinuous advance III prices during The last
-FOUR weeks that speculative holders OF
stocks who have seen profits accrue upon
their ventures should desire to secaIrc those
profits 1t must be admitted that there
has been good deal of manipulation for
the purpose OF sustaining prices during
the last few days Prospects that the ex-
ports of gold next Tuesday will be fairly
large, probably S3,000,0o0, had some ef
feet upon speculative sentiment both yes
terday and today.
Although IL is well understood that the
