A PECULIAR ACCIDENT.

Ground and Lofty TumblinE by "a Pair
of Carriage Horses, With No Damage.
A peculiar accident occurred about half
past 10 o'clock this morning on G street, in
front of Epiphany Church. A handsome
turnout, a victoria drawn by bay and a
roam, was proceeding at fair trot toward
14th street. when the bay, on the near side,
stumbled and slipped. He made such bad
fall of 1t that the carriage swerved around
at right angles, and the horse finally fell
broadside across the car tracks. The roam
ht rse tried to keep up, but finally gave
way and was thrown completely over the
pIostrate body of his mate. The head of
the latter was pinned down by the tongue
of the carriage, and there they lay, side by
side, having changed places. The only oc-
cupant of the carriage, a lady, had in the
meantime fled to the sidewalk, and the
driver had hUrriedly descended from the
bCx and seized the head of the PROSTATE
rcan. Willing hands assisted in unbuck-
ling the harness, which had been drawn
very taut by the equine ground and lofty
tumbling and when 1t was loose the car
riage was backed, thus removing the pole
from the bays head, and he rose to his feet,
and then an opportunity was given to the
roam to do the same thing Neither ami
NAL was injured, the harness was not cut,
nor was the carriage damaged. The horses
were quickly harnessed and driven off 1t
seemed providential to those who witnessed
the accident that the result was not seri-
Gus. The driver seemed to understand his
bsSiness.

A CRAZY FRENCHMAN.
George MercheOssee Makes Dcsnerut
AttemptH at Suicide

"eorSe MercheOssee Makes Desperate
Attempts at Suicide.
Patrick Hart. the insane soldier who was
arrested In South Washington two days
ago and who attempted to commit suicide
In police cell, set the pace for others.
and today his example was followed by
colcred frenchman named George Merche-
ossee. Ihe police are now wondering
who is to be the third victim, for usually
one case Of this kind is followed by two
others. That Mercheossee is insane there
Is not the slightest doubt, and although
his mind is in such frightful condition
he seemed to realize that he was disgracad

hung himself to the crossbar of the iron
door, He wound his handkerchief about
ffs neck and then tied the ends to the
cressoar, and had 1t not been that he was
discovered so soon by Precinct Detective
Sutton the man would probably have died
Three times he tried to end his life, and
each time he was prevented from succeed

however, seems to imagine that he must
take part in one of the wars. for In addi-
tion to referring to Greece he talks Spanish
and makes mention of Cuba.
George Mercheossee as his name appears
on the record, is not known by the police.
This morning he was near 9th and G
streets northwest, where he amused him
self by knocking down little girl. The
child had jar of milk in her hand and
the breaking of the jar and spilling of the
milk seemed to afford him considerable
amusement. While he enjoying the
joke citizen appeared and placed him Tn

street. crowd soon collected. and Po-
liceman Boyce arrested him. He made
no effort to assault the officer or escape,
but went with him to the station. AT
times he appeared rational and said his
mother lived on Acker street, but the po-
lice could not find her. Later in the day
he was examined by the police surgeons
and he is now in the asylum.

HOW TO FIND OUT.

Fill a bottle or common glass with
urine and let IL stand twenty-four
hours; a sediment or settling indi-
Gates a diseased condition of the kid
news. When urine stains linen it is
positive evidence of kidney trouble.
Too frequent desire to urinate or
pain in the back, is also convincing
proof that the kidneys 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 reliev-
ing pain in the back, kidneys, liver,
bladder and every part Of the urinary
passages. 1t corrects inability to
hold urine and scalding pain in pass
ing it, or bad effect following use of
liquor, wine or beer, and overcomes
that unpleasant necessity of being
compelled to get up many times dur
ing the night to urinate. The mild
and the extraordinary effect of
Swamp Root is soon realized. 1t
stands the highest for its wonderful
cures of the most distressing cases.
If you need a medicine you should
have the best. Sold by druggists
price fifty cents and one dollar. For
sample bottle and pamphlet, both
sent free by mail, mention The
NORTHWEST and send your full post
office address to DR.. Kilmer & Co.,
Binghamton, n. Y. The proprietors
of this paper guarantee the genuine
ness of the offer.

tions. Careful and prudent in his
business affairs, yet ever ready to ex-
tend helping hand to others. OF
irreproachable character, he possess
es the absolute confidehce of all who
know him. In touch with the people,
no one better than he realizes the
hardships to which so many are be-
ing subjected by reason Of our unjust
financial legislation.
His nomination would mean an ag-
gressive campaign led by an earnest
and eloquent speaker, it would mean
the support of those who wish to see
an honest, careful, intelligent admin
istration of state affairs; and it would
mean the support of silver men in
other parties, in their desire to show
their appreciation of one who has
stood so nobly for the cause in the
past. The most casual observer
could not mistake the trend of pub
lie sentiment. There is a determine
tion to rebuke the advocates of the
gold standard and declare for logisla-
ton not in the interests of few mon
ey sharks but for the whole people.
A candidate who has not closely
identified himself with the cause in
the past, would not receive that
hearty supper from all bimetallists,
which the party must have in order
to win. In view of the situation, the
logical candidate for Governor on
the Democratic ticket is Hon. d. D..

ED. NoRTHwEST:--Why are farm
ers not getting better prices for their
products? 1t is not overproduction
we are certain, for the reason there
are thousands of our citizens that are
living on half rat1ons and that of the
cheapest quality. Why don't they
live better? Their plea is, we have
not the money to buy with. Why
have they not the money? There is
certainly an overproduction Of mon
ey, for congress was compelled to cut
off one half of our natural products
of the money metal by demonetiza-
ton, so it is not the scarcity OF mon
ey. But as plenty as it is they have
not gotit. Why? Because they can't
get the work to earn it. Why so
There is plenty of work for all; we have
thousands of miles of roads that need their
labor, and thousands of acres of fertile
land that needs tiling, and other thousands
of acres that needs the brush and rubbish
cleaned off, and millions of tons of noxious
weeds on the public r; ads and on the farms
that should and would be destroyed if the
farmers had the money to employ the idle
laborers. We have plenty of money. but
where is it, who gets it, and what for Ex-
anime the public records and you will find
that there is over nine hundred million dol
lars more drawn out of the public treasures
every year than there is U. S. money in ex.
istence. This is not as it should be. Now,
Bro. farmer, if you was the owner Of large
farm and operating itawith hired help, and
it cost you $1,000 every year more thar. you

do? One Of three things you would have tc

1T looks very much as though Sena-
tor Hankey would not be accorded a
denomination by the Republicans, in
as much as the Senator is inclined to
believe in the silver dollar of the dad
dies. Senator Hankey is in accord
with the sentiment of the common
people on the money question, and
by the Republicans pushing him aside
for Toledo gold bug that party is
placing itself in splended position
for licking this fall. Three Demo

THE export Of corn during the past
year has been enormous. During
three weeks in April over ten millions
of bushels went out of the country.
Notwithstanding this enormous ex-
portation of corn the price still rules
low, which goes to show that it is not
always the demand which makes the
price, the conditions of the people
have something to do with it. Re
store the money of the people and
good and remunerative prices will
follow.
