HuIf n Million Lost,

English. Ind, Nov. 16.-Excitement
grows over the failure of the three
banks in the county. Cashier Richard
II. Willett of the Leavenworth Bank,
has not been heard from. but John H.
Wentworth is said to have telegraphed
to friends here that he will return and
pay rs per cent, If the depositors will
accept and protect him from injury.
It is thought this will be accepted.
The present estimate Of the failure,
Including county and township mon
eys, private deposits, borrowed money
and debts among merchants from
whom they purchased electrical ma
chinery and other stock, is 100000
County Treasurer Brown, who has
nothing to show for $4,000, was yes
terday stricken with paralysis and is
not expected to live. Every develop
ment indicates a premeditated bank
wreck on some ones part.

ONE OF TWO WAYS.

The bladder was created for one
purpose, namely, a receptacle for the
urine, and as such il is not liable to
any form of disease except by one OF
two ways. The first way is from I'M
perfect action of the kidneys. The
second way is from careless local treat
ment CT other diseases.
CHIEF CAUSE.
Unhealthy urine from unhe ealthy
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
festeG 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 DR.. Kilmers
Swamp Root, the great kidney, and
bladder remedy, is soon realized. If
you need medicine you should have
the best. At druggists fifty cents and
one dollar. You may have sample
bottle and pamphlet, both sent free
by mail. Mention The COLUMBIAN
and send your address to DIR. Kilmer
& Co, Binghamton, N. Y. The pro.
prietors Of this paper guarantee the
genuineness of this offer.

DR.. THOMAS w. EVANS DEAD.
The Famous American Dentist, Ex-
pires in Paris.

Paris, Nov. 16.-Dr. Thomas w.
Evans, the famous American dentist,
who assisted in the escape of exEm-
sress Eugenie. died here Sunday night.
DR.. Evans was born in Philadelphia
about seventy-ive years ago, and went
to Paris in 1916, where he won a great
reputation. He attended Napoleon III.
and many other royalties. His fortune
was estimated at from twenty-five to
thirty-five million dollars.
The secret of DR.. Evans success as
4 dentist may be said to be due to the
fact that he was practically the first
person to introduce gold filling for
teeth into Europe
One of his first customers was the
Duchesse de Rochefoucauld, one of
the most prominent ladies in Paris,
and she was so satisfied with his work
that she spread his fame throughout
Paris, and from there to every capital
IF Europe.
The French Emperor, Napoleon III,
was one of DR.. Evans best friends, as
well as best patients. He was thor
oughly trusted by every one at court.
Many of the improvements under
taken by Baron Haussmann, which
made Paris the pleasure capitai Of the
world, are said to have been under
taken by the advice of Dr. Evans.

CIVIL WAR IN SPAIN.
THE RESULT OF WEYLER'S LANDING
IN SPAIN is FEARED.

Annexation Believed to he the Only
salvation of the Isinnd-insur-
gents 10 Make n Demonstration
Before Congress Meets.
Havana. Nov. considerable anx
lety is expressed in official circles here
as to what will happenI after the ar
rival of Gen Weyler in Spain. Some
believe trouble will follow any deter
mined effort of the Spanish Govern
ment to discipline the former Captain
General, and that in any case serious
events will occur in January or Feb
ruary next. Many Spanish officers are
returning home on leave of absence,
and their number has commenced to
attract attention. Even In this city
there is a feeling OF suppressed resent
ment against the Sagasta Cabinet, ana
murmurs are heard against the Queen
Regent, due to her permitting the Pre-
mier to attempt to establish autonomy
in Cuba, and because she is alleged to
have permitted the Spanish press to
insult the Spaniards residing here,
without taking into consideration the
enormous sacrifices Of men and money
made I'm behalf of the crown.
1t is intimated that a civil war In
Cuba would be certain to follow the
establishment of autonomy. 1t can be
said that there are no signs of the
troubles in the island ending at any
early date. On the contrary, II would
appear that the mere prospect of au-
tonomy is making matters worse than
ever, and the belief grows that annex
alton to the United States is the only
thing that will save Cuba from an
archy.
Concerning the movements of the In
surgents very little is apparently
known here, but reliable man who
has just arrived from the interior says
that Gen. Maxine Gomez has not been
able to pass the Moron Jucaro trocha,
and that this Is the reason why many
Of the insurgents leaders were unable
to take part in the Presidential elec-
tion. 1t Is also said the report that
Domingo Mendez Capote was recently
elected President of the Cuban Repub-
lie is untrue. 1t is asserted that Cis-
neros continues to act as President.
Rumors are current that the insur-
gents are contemplating an important
demonstration previous to the meeting
Of Congress. in order to strengthen the
hands of their friends in the United
States.

ScnOr Quesada's Tour.

Washington, Nov. 16.-Senor Que
sada the secretary of the Cuban Junta,
who has just arrived at the Washing
ton headquarters after tour of the
United States and Mexico, says:
Il have been on a tour from Michi-
gan to Vera Cruz. Everywhere the
people are enthusiastic in their belief
that Cuba should be free. The feeling
Is universal. 1t would be utterly i'm
possible to describe the fervor of our
sympathizers. II has been a most en-
?ouraging tour in every way.
1T is utter folly to believe that the
Cubans will be hoodwinked into ac-
cepting the farcical reforms of Spain.
They mean nothing. We receive hun
ireds of letters laughing at the idea of
giving up the fight now for any such
sham. The Cubans are more powerful
md more confident than ever before"

Must Mnrry or Retire.

The Official Board Of the Strouds.
burg, Penn. Methodist Episcopal
Church. at a meeting held Saturday
evening, decided to ask for the return
of the assistant pastor of the church.
The Rev. Robert II. Crawford, as pas
tor for next year. Mr.. Crawford is a
slngle man, and in order to make his
'eturn sure, the official brethren would
ike him to marry.
When the matter was brought before
the young pastor no promise was
given that he would abandon bachelor
hood. The charge is married mans
charge, and lately a $1,000 parsonage
was built. Unless Mr. Crawford does
as his congregation desires him to do,
It is feared that the Bishop will not
make the appointment.
