CHIEF CAUSE.

Unhealthy urine from unhealthy
kidneys is the chief cause of bladder
troubles. So the womb, like the blad-
der, was created for one purpose, and
if not doctored too much is not liable
to weakness or diseases, except in rare
cases. 1t is situated back Of and very
close to the bladder, therefore any
pain, disease or inconvenience mani.
fested in the kidneys, back, bladder or
urinary passage is often. by mistake,
attributed to female weakness or womb
trouble OF some sort. The error 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 kidney
or bladder trouble. The mild and ex-
traordinary effect of DIR. Kilmer's
Swamp Root, the great kidney, and
bladder remedy, is soon realized. II

BOAT house sINKs IN H0B0KEN
Tha Active Club spends sunday Rails
Ing Their TWO SsorY NEruatmre


The boat house of the Active Boat Club
sank at its moorings off the foot of Fifth
street, Hoboken, some time between Sat
urday night and Sunday morning. The
house is a two-story frame structure,
built on a scow which the club purchased
some years ago from the New York Canoe
Club. Fortunately for the club, the river
in the locality is not very deep, and the
house only went down a few feet before
it struck bottom. The entire lower floor
was flooded with about four feet of wa
ter, but the upper story, where the parloI
and dressing rooms are located, was not
even wet.
The members were on the scene bright
and early yesterday morning, and under
the direction of Captain James O'Brien
began the work of raising their house.
They rowed into the building in small
boats. After they had hauled out their
canoes and other effects they waited un-
til low tide, when they finally succeeded
in pumping out the scow and raising it.
The accident was the result of leak
in one end of the scow, which was prob
ably caused by the northwestern storm
of few days ago. The damage was
slight About five years ago the scow
sank in a similar manner
