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
cloDe 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 t,Eenty-four hours;
q sediment or settlinS indicates kid
ney or bladder trouble. The mild and
the extraordinary effect of DR.. kim
er's Swamp Root, the great kidney,
and bladder remedy is soon realized.
If 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 propriet-
ors of this paper guarantee the gen.
uineness of this offer.

PLEASANT SURPRISE PARTY.

While Rev. f. p. Doty was attending
the quarterly conference in the Hamp-
ton Stret Methodist Episcopal church
Thursday evening about fifty of the
young people of his congregation who
had arranged a surprise for him and
his wife, took possession of the par
sonage and We're there to welcome him
home upon his return. A very pleasant
evening was enjoyed in listening to the
exquisite music rendered by the or
chestra, and recitations, duets and Sc
lections on the piano, games and the
like. Refreshments were bountifully
dispensed when games and plays were
resumed. At a reasonably late hour
the party dispersed, leaving the pastor
the recollection of a pleasant evening
spent with his young people, which he
hopes they will feel at liberty to repeat.

WHEN A MAN FEELS MEAN.
Was a Cose of Buttons and the Street
Car Conductor Wouldn't Have 1t.
From the Chicago Post

From the Chicago Post.
He felt meaner and smaller than any
other man within radius of 1873 miles
of Chicago.
lie knew that 1t was not his fault,
but If he could have slipped down
through the floor of the street car he
would have gladly taken all chances
of being run over.
He knew positively that he was an
honest man, but if there ever was
pickpocket who felt as bad as he did
at that moment the chances are that
the plckpocket committed suicide.
IIe was rather a solemn and dignified
man, and he disiillcd TO pose as the
point Of a joke for twenty or thirty
people, while he felt the scornful gaze
of the CONDUCTOR penetrating him like
an X ray.
When the suspender button came off
he had caught it with a feeling of tr-
umph. Time and again he had come
home with a button off, and in answer
to his wife's Inquiries had been oblig-
ed to admit that he had not the faint
est idea what had become of the but
ton. And each time he lost a button
thereafter he invariably recalled his
sion and wished that he could find the
button.
"You must think I am made oc but
TONS" she had said once. as she hunted
through her button box for something
that would take the place of the one he
had lost.
mo" he had answered, as he thought
of some of the intricacics of the fem
mime toilet; mot entirely"
Eut this time he had actually caught
the button just in the act OF slipping
away from him, and he felt proud Of
himself
Then he slipped it into the change
pocket of his overcoat.
That was the trouble.
The conductor held 1t mp so that all
could soc it, and then handed II back
with the suggestion that he had better
get a new die" as the old one was
evidently worn out
Then IL was that he looked to see If
the flooring of the car was laid loose
enough so that he could slip ont be-
tween the boards, and cursed his luck
when he found that II was not.
