CHIEF CAUSE.

Unhealthy urine from unhealthy kidneys
is the Chief cause o f bladder troubles. So
the womb, like the bladder, was created for
one purpose, and if not tloctored 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 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:
o sediment or settling indicates kidney or
bladder trouble. The mild and the eXtraor-
binary effect of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp Root,
the great kidney and bladder remedy, is
soon realized. II you need a medicine
you should Rave the best. At druggists,
fifty cents and one dollar. You may have

DIR. WALTER FINED.
He Was Accused Of Leaving His
Horse Uncovered.
Other Cases Disposed or in District Court
This Morning.

Considerable time was devoted to the
case of DIR. Walters in the Sixth District
Cour. this morning on the charge OF
cruelty TO mis- horse. The facts, as they
appeared, are that on Tuesday, Jan. 26,
the doctor allowed his horse TO stand in

All hour, and that most of the time the
animal was uncovered. This information
was testified to by lawyers John M.
Brennan, George r.. Macleod, Police Judge
Richard b. Lyman, newspaper man or
two aud others. When the case was called
counsel for the prosecution said that
Messrs. Brennan and Lyman, were the most
important witnesses in the case and as
they were not present, requested that
writ of arrest for their podies bo issued.
This was done. but as the wrts were
being made out the two gentlemen walked
into the court room aud were Questioned
by His Honor as to why they were
absent. They gave some sort of an excuse
that "went" for the time, but the other
"cases'' were continued for further con-
sideration, and Judge Sweetland said that
the fees OF the two witnesses should be
held in ,.trnst.n At the conclusion OF
the trial the doctor was fined go and
co SITS and took an appeal.
William Seymour was adjudged probs-
bly, guilty of the charge of exposure of
person, and was held for the action of
tie grand jury in the sun of 500.
Catherine Lauzsn and Hattie White
waived examination on the charge of
keeping houses of i'll fame, and we're held

bens, Ruth Dickson, Emily Kelly,

MRS. RYER WON.
Jury Gave Her Verdict OF $50. 80
Against Stearns.
Latter Claimed that He Held Articles as
Security for Money SPENT

A Jury in Judge Douglass court was called
on today TO decide whether or not Hiram A.
Stearns would bo obliged 10 return the valuo
Of certain mirrors, oil paintings, steel engrav-
ings and clocks to Ina Il Ryer that she al
leges he wrongfully detained from her. Mr..
Stearns claimed that no was justified in re-
tanning the goods, as Miss Ryer had left them
with him TO protectsaim from liability under
a suit on a replevin bond he had signed for
her.
The latter went to board at the home OF the
tfefu11tuut and her household furniture was
attached by a Mrs. Healey. The repleyin suit
which Mr. Stoarns became security failed,
az 10 was brought IN the wrong court, and
Mrs. Healey began suit for the costs.
The amount of the costs was about $50 and
Mrs. Ryer claimed today that the value OF the
goods detained by Mr.. Stearns was $l43. He
elaine q, however, that they were worth only
SO.
Mr.. Stoarns, the defendant. testified that
the goods in dispute were left with him by
Mrs. Ryer until she repaid him for the ex-
pense he had had 20 undergo on account OF
the loss in the failure Of the replevin suit. Mrs.
Ryer's explanation Of this point was that the
goods We're detained by Stearns, and she only
promised to help pay for "A lawyer. Herbert
L. Stearns, son of the defendant, testified
that the goods had been left with his father
as security.
Samuel Baker was one Of the witnesses for
the defendant and his testimony as an expert
created much amusement by the valuations
he put on some pictures One Of the pictures
he described as a sheep scene, water color
he valued at $3.50, another a steel engraving
which he described as having French name,
and the third, an oil painting, he valued at
$3.50 c. NJ. Lee, counsel for the defendant,
wanted a more particular description OF this
last article and was told hy witness that IL
was a floral piece, but not being florist he
could not tell the kind of flowers the artist
had endeavorod TO reproduce in oil.
There were brief arguments in behalf of
their clients made by Mr.. Lee in behalf OF the
defendant and by C. NJ. Van Slyck in behalf
eff the plaintiff. The jury after being out but
a few moments came in with verdict for the
plaintiff for sl56.33

SAYS ITS A TRAP.
Representative Hill Speaks Strongly
on Monetary Conference Bill.
Declares Thatit Was Born of Mother
That Loves IL Not

Washington, ID. c., Feb.9 The interest
in Congress the question Of an inter-
national monetary conference was shown
today by the presencs In the house CON-
mittce on coinage, of members to listen
TO the discussion. Some of the mem
and currency took part in the debate.
The first speaker was Representative
Hill, who spoke from a political stand
point, bitterly denouncing the senste for
attempting 10 lay trap to ensnsre tho
Republican party. 1t was an attempt, he
said to bring about the thines which the
Republican party voted down at the last
election, the free coinage of silver and
a double standard of vslue. Referring to
Senator Chandler he ssio the proposition
was thrust upon the incoming president
by Senator who had bitterly and vir-
ulently opposed his nomination, and that
the Senator had been sustained and
seconded by the chairman OF the national
Democratic committee.
90 The prolositinn is born of n mot her
who loves 1t not" said he. "More than
one half of its opponents in tho Senate,
were republicans, wbile free silver men
who would work to bring 1t TO nought
voted for It," He continued, "Tte stilted
phrases of platform dictated by half
