1st of August.

Captain Spillane of the Southern Police
district has received orders from his
superiors TO move his headquarters from
tue old Southern Police station into the
Larkln-street wing OF the City Hall by the

The Farmer Was Fixed.

A well-to-do Georgia farmer invited
a merchant friend to dine with him.
The merchant was known for his
crankiness and had once or twice tried
to shoot people for imagined wrongs.
The farmer had considerable business
dealings with him, and they were on
the best of terms However, the far
mer always kept wary eye on him.
Several days after the dinner at the
farmers house the merchant said to
him:
II can't account for the queer feel
ings and impulses have occasionally
For instance, the other day when |
was dining at your table it suddenly
came into my mind to kill you, though
nad nothing in the world against you.
I had pistol in my pocket at the time
and once ! had my hand on it, when
the strange feeling passed frcm mel"
Don't let that bother you,' said the
farmer. Il knowed all about your
failin's in that line, an l wuzzn't
asleep when / saw your hand to your
hip. Ny son John wuz standin' in
the hallway, back of you, with shot
gun levelled at you an you jist did

GUMBo OF MONTANA.
A Soil Which Has the Staying Qualities

A Soil Which Has the Staying Qualities
of Glue.
II. NJ Parchon and Henry Klein
have returned from a trip to Cascade
county, says writer in the Helena
Independent. Everything went we'll
on the trip out, but returning they en-
countered heavy thunderstorm with
fall of rain, and in a few minutes
the road was made almost impossible.
The soil is thick clay, of the order
known in some localities as gumbo,
and when little water comes in con-
tact with 1t a substance not unlike
glue Is the result. The wheels soon
became so weighted with the stuff that
travel In the wagon was impossible,
and it was resolved to take chances
afoot. There is a popularity about
gumbo that it sticks like fly paper to
everything that one doesn't want it to
remain attached to, and it somehow
won't stick to the ground long enough
to step out of it. The members of the
party first tried tiptoeing along. Grad
ually the sticky substance accumulated
under the balls of their feet until they
were lifted far from the surface of the
ground, and still it accumulated more
and more. Gumbo is not as light as
foot that pedestrian raises from the
ground adds several pounds to his
burden of woe. There is a limit to
mans carrying capacity. When he
has acquired a silt on each foot that
weighs 125 pounds or so he feels like
stopping to rest or rid himself of the
burden, or BOTH
Mr.. Parchen was the first, it lis said,
to try to kick himself loose from his
appendage of mud. Posing himself
on one heavily laden foot, he kicked
out with the other with all his might.
But one can't kick gumbo from his
shoes. The stuff has been known to
resist the efforts of the pick. Mr..
Parchen had not calculated on that.
When he kicked the momentum of the
heavy weight carried him forward on
that foot, and to save. himself and re-
cover his balance he was forced to
thrust his other foot forward with
considerable vehemence. That foot,
too, was heavily laden with the same
sort of mud, and the momentum of it
had similar effect AS each foot be-
came heavier by the accumulated
weight of gumbo each other foot be-
came heavier, too, so that the increas-
ing brake upon the pedestrians speed
was compensated for by the increasing
momentum furnished. The accumula-
tion had grown to alarming figures, if
expressed in pounds, and Mr.. Parchen
encountered an up grade and was
saved. He secured implements fitted
for the purpose and managed to scrape
off the bottom of his shoes, making a
nice new surface for more mud to
cling to.

ONE OF TWO WAYS.

The bladder was created for one pur-
pose, namely, a receptacle for the urine,
and as such it is not liable to any form of
disease except by one of two ways. The
first way is from imperfect action of the
kidneys. The second way is from care
less local treatment of other diseases.
CHIEF CAUSE.
Unhealthy urine from unhealthy kid
news is the chief cause of bladder
troubles. So the womb. like the bladder,
was created for one purpose, and if not
doctored too much is not liable to weak
ness 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 weak
ness or womb trouble of some sort. The
error is easily made and may be 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 the ex-
traordinay effect of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp
Root, the great kidney and bladder
remedy is soon realized. If you need
medicine you should have the best. At

Nicaragua Needs Good Roads.

The many inquiries made by Ame1i-
cans regarding Nicaragua have drawn
from Thomas O'Hara, United States
consul at San Juan del Norte, a report
from which an extract is as follows:
"Whole districts of rich lands remain
unoccupied because of their inaccessible
ity. Mining and numbering interests
have not been properly developed for
the same reason. Without highways
these lands, forests and mines will re-
main practically worthless. and with
out the canal there will be but few rail
ways and wagon roads in Nicaragua in
the near future. The establishment of a
fair system of highways i'll the country
would afford many opportunities, not
perhaps, for sudden fortunes, but for
safe and profitable investments.
