CHIEF CAUSE.

Unhealthy urine from unhealthy kid
neys Is the chief cause of bladder
troubles. SO the womb like the blad-
der, was created for one purpose, and
II not doctored 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 mani
tested in the kidneys, back, bladder
or urinary passage is often, by mis-
take, attributed to female weakness
or womb trouble of some sort The err
ror is easily made and may be as easily
avoided. To find out correctly, set
your urine aside for twenty-four hours;
sediment or settling indicates kid
ney or bladder trouble. The mild and
the extraordinary effect of DR.. kim
ers Swamp Root, the great kidney,
and bladder remedy is soon realized.
II you need a medicine you should
have the best. At druggists fifty cents
and one dollar. You may have a
sample bottle and pamphlet, both sent
free by mail Mention The Tribune
and send your address to DR.. Kilmer &
Co., Binghamton, N. Y. The prophet
ors of this paper guarantee the gen.
uineness of this offer.

SAW RIVERA IN PRISON.
Insurgent Leader Hopes for Pardon
No Troops Recalled,

HAVANA, April 1S.-The correspond
ent of the Associated Press went to
Cabanas fortress and saw Gen. Ruis
Rivera and Col. Bacallao. He found
Rivera in a large, dry and we'll venti-
lated cell. AT the moment of the visit
the general was lying down, but hs
had been able to leave his bed the day
before. His wounds are healing rap
idly, and he Is hoping to be pardoned
as a special favor Of the crown. Col.
Bacallao is similarly situated, and the
two officers have a servant who at
tends to them. They have comforta-
bile beds and good meals sent in daily
from a restaurant near by.
Neither Gen. Rivera nor Col. Bacallao
has any special complaint to make
The latter is also hopeful Of a special
pardon.
The correspondent of the Associated
Press today saw Ona Melton and AL
fred Laborde, of the Competitors crew.
They are doing well. Brigadier Mon
has been promoted to be the second
in command under the chief of staff of
Captain General Weyler, and Brigadier
Maroto has been appointed chief Of
the Remedies brigade. Both will serve
with the Rey Casco division under the
immediate orders Of the captain gem

GREEKS CAPTURE MErNExA.

Germany Siding With Turkey.

LONDON, April 18.-A dispatch to
the Daily Chronicle from Athens, dated
midnight, says the Greeks have cap
tured Menexa after severe figting. The
Turkish losses were very heavy the
Greek comparatively light. The cor
respondent adds: THE Greek fleet has
destroyed half the fortresses at. Pre-
vesa and silenced the guns. / am as
sured that the bombarding will be con-
tinued tomorrow (Monday) morning.
1.-THE latest news received here to-
night is that the Greeks have captured
and hold all the positions except Ana
and MilOuna along the Thessilian line.
l have had access to an important doc
ument from a European capital show
ing that the powers have done nothing
for several weeks because they have

DAVIS URGING THE TREATY.
VIII Attempt to Secure a Date for a
Vote-COngressi OmaI Forecast.

WASHINGTON, April 18.-The SEN
ate will conclude its consideration Of
the appropriation bills this week. The
Indian bill is expected to pass early to-
morrow and the sundry civil and agr1-
cultural bill will follow in the order
named. There is no expectation that
there will be any prolonged debate
upon any Of the bills. There will be
an effort to amend the sundry civil
bill by the addition Of a provision for
the regulation of the forest reserva-
tons This may lead to some discus
sion, but the friends of the amendment
do not anticipate much trouble in hav-
ing the amendment agreed to.
Senator Davis will make another at
tempt Monday in executive session. to
get a day fixed for taking a vote on
the arbitration treaty. He has an
nounced his purpose to press the treaty
to final action at as early a date as
possible. He expects to have little diff
f1culty in securing an agreement for a
date, but some of the objecting SEN
ators intimate that there still may be
opposition. The matter of pairs has
been definitely arranged on the basis
of two votes for the treaty to one
against it. 1t is not believed that q
great deal Of time will be given to the
treaty during the week, whatever the
degree Of Mr. Davis's success in secur-
in an agreement for a date for a vote
The bankruptcy bill will continue to
hold it's place on the calendar as the
unfinished business. but it probably
will not be seriously pressed. Senator
Morgan has announced his intention to
insist daily upon the consideration of
his Cuban resolution during the morn
ing hours, but he will not block other
business with it.
Much of the senate time will be
given to the question: of the organiza-
ton Of the senate committees. The
Republicans will caucus Monday on the
subject. If the programme proposed Is
accepted both the republicans and the
opposition will proceed to make Sc
lections for the committee vacancies,
and this work will require very DELI
cate adjustment in order to satisfy
conflicting claims. If the plan is not
agreed to by the Republicans, the
coalition Of Democrats, Populists and
silver Republicans WILL on Tuesday,
move to fill some Of the committee
vacancies with the view of continuing
the process until all are filled. At
least, such Is the present programme.
The house this week will continue
the programme Of three-day adjourn
ments unless the Indian appropriation
bill is returned from the senate when
it meets on Wednesday, The compli-
cation arising out Of the situation in
Eastern Europe possibly may figure in
the proceedings Of both houses the
latter part of the week

Do NOT LIKE THE CUNT.
Officers on NicOIIet Avenue Have
Considerable Trouble.

Officers on Nicollet avenue claim to have
experienced considerable trouble with a quin-
tette Saturday night, which, they say, was
going at a high rate of speed up and down
the avenue. AS it is well known, a vehicle
of this kind is hard to manage, and must
needs go at a high rate of speed. Officers
Britt Bracket and White had their eyes out
for scorchers, and, after warning the four
young men and the young woman riding the
quintette that they were riding too fast,
officer Britt determined to adopt heroic mea-
sures to put a stop to it, AS the machine
hove in sight again, he made jump for the
second rider. He grabbed him about the
waist and held for dear life. The officer
was dragged haf a block down the avenue
from Fifth street before the mighty machine
came to a slandstill. The riders were then
cautioned to use more care in the future,
and not only not to ride so speedily, but
not to shout at pedestrians to get out of the
way at street crossings. No arrests were
made but the officers say they would have
been justified in so doing, for they claim
that the five riding at a rate of speed
dangerous to people on the avenue, and they
also alege that the riders shouted at pedes-
TRANS at each crossing to clear the way
The riders, in turn, say they were not ex-
ceeding the rate of speed allowed by the
ordinance, and as to shouting at people cross
ing, they claim that this was done simply as
a warning, as such huge machine is very

Greeks Forced Back at MilOuna

LONDON, April 1S.--The Times cor

attention from Milouna, where it 5
evident Edhem Pasha intends to aG-
vance in force on Larissa. This at
tempt will lead to severe fighting. T. .
results of even yesterdays fighting are
indecisive. Accounts Of it are biased

Turkish sources. 1t appears, however.
pretty certain that the Turks had the
advantage. n
''The Greeks were partially successful
in their movement at Karya, which
was aimed at cutting off the Turkish
communications with Salonica, Where

HIS nerve was good. On the scaffold he
asserted his innocence ''in the sight of God Z"
although many of the spectators had seen him
commit the crime.
In Richburg everybody was simply oil
