If the vast discoveries of gold re
ported from Alaska shall be con
fir1ned, it will be another hard blow
to the free silverites. Their argument
has been that there was not gold
enough in the world to supply its
needs as money, and that gold was
''antly- enhancing in value. The
80 however have been that the
I Qpply of gold was constantly increas-
ing, and that while silver was declin-
ing, gold held its own notwithstand-
ing its increased production, so that
its value was maintained, not because
of scarcity, but in the face of largely
increased production. Some of the
Silverites in this county have aban-
doned their pet theories, and con
template a trip to the newly found
gold fields.

HOW TO FIND OUT.

Fill bottle or common glass with urine
and let it stand twenty four hours; a sedi-
ment or settling indicates an unhealthy
condition of the kidneys When urine
stains linen it is positive evidence Of kidney
trouble. Too frequent desire to urinate or
pain in the back, is also convincing proof
that the kidneys and bladder are out of
order.
There is comfort in the knowledge so
often expressed, that DR.. Kilmer's 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 to get up many times during the
night to urinate. The mild and the extra
ordinary effect of Swamp-Root is soon
realized 1t stands the highest for its won
derful cures Of the most distressing cases. If
you need a medicine you should have the
best. Sold by druggists, price fifty cents and
one dollar. You may have a sample bottle
and pamphlet both sent free by mail. Men

THE action of the Governor in ask
ing for itemized statements from the
members Of investigating committees
and others had the effect of bomb
shell in camp That some of the
members of the committees are
alarmed is evident from some Of the
answers received by the Governor
Some of them say they did not make
out the bills and are not responsible
for them, while others say that they
are ready to make out an itemized
bill at any time and will do so on de-
mand. There is no little curiosity to
see how some of the Legislators with
free railroad passes, free telegraph
franks and free telephone facilities
will get around these items of ex-
penses in the various bills The Gov
ernor is not satisfied with the report
OF the Board of Charities recommend

instructed the members to visit the
