In point of attendance and financial
results the state fair at milwaukee
last week was the most successful
ever held, although the exhibits were
not up to the average. The race be-
tween Joe Patchen and Star Pointer,
the noted PAGERS, on Wednesday,
proved to be a great attraction, but
from a sporting point of view the
match was failure, as only one OF
the three heats was a good trial Of
speed. President Hubbard and Sec
rotary Fleming are to be congratu-
lated over the fairs success, especial
ly since their labors were in the face
of such discouraging conditions.
They were both reelected. 1t is not
known yet whether the society will
hold fair next year or not. The
State Board of Agriculture may by
that time have charge of affairs.

HOW TO FIND OUT.

Fill a bottle or common glass with
urine and let it stand twenty-four
hours; a sediment or settling indicates
an unhealthy condition of the kidneys.
When urine stains linen it is evidence
of kidney trouble. Too frequent
desire to urinate or pain in the back
is also convincing proof that the kid
neys and bladder are out of order.
WHAT TO DO.
There is comfort in the knowledge
so often expressed, that DIR. Kilmer's
Swamp Root, the great kidney remedy,
fulfills every wish in relieving pain In
the back, kidneys, liver, bladder and
every part of the urinary passage.
1t cOrrects inability TO hold urine and
scalding pain in passing it, or bad
effects following use of liquor, wine or
beer, and overcOmes that unpleasant
necessity of being compelled to get up
many times In the night to urinate. The
mild and the extraordinary effect of
Swamp Root is soou realized 1t
stands the highest for it's wond erful
cures of the most distressing cases. If
you need q medicine you should have
the best. Sold by druggists, price fifty
cents and one dollar. You may have

avoid the consequences Of several very ir-

MI Harrison is that he inclosed to school

received from Mr.. Bruen, the wealthy
banker, who built the Peoples Tabernacle
and presented it to the congregation
