About a year ago I was taken with
kidney trouble in one of the worst forms.
I was passing from four to six quarts OF
water every "a hours. and my trouble
finally ran into diabetes. l had had
kidney trouble before. and had some

came last fall. employed doctor all
last winter, with no favorable results.
I worked all the time, but was in con-
slant misery, and if l had kept on I
would not now have been alive. The dis
ease reduced my weight from $50 to 145
pounds, and during all the time I got
no relief until 1 began to use Puritana.
l commenced the Putitana treatment
last April, and used three or four bot
ties. The first results were felt in my
stomach. which improved rapidly. SO
that l could eat and digest my food COM

bla oder was restored to its normal con-
dition. l have been well all summer.
although I left off using Puritana In
June. l think Puritana is the best rem

Rremerr versus Planters.

The more the republican tariff scheme
is turned over and examined, the palmer
It becomes that 1t is filled with trickery
and jobs and sectionalism. The true in
wardness of the reduction in the rice
schedule, as it now appears, is not to give
the people cheaper rice, or to increase the
revenue, but to pay campaign debt. In
some cases these campaign debts are paid
by increasing the tariff on certain arti-
cles, while in other cases the payment
is made by reducing the tariff, where the
reduction strikes southern, democratic
states. The tariff is a weapon which may
be employed effectively in either upward
or downward stroke.
The patriotic brewers doubtless contrib
uted literally to the Mckinley campaign
fund, while the poor. democratic rice
planters did not; and that is why the
rice rates have been reduced by the Sem
ate finance committee. The committee
found Il necessary TO add a little some
thing to the beer tax. But in order that
the brewers might not have to pay the
tax. the committee arranged it so that
the brewers could get their broken rice
cheaper than at present. That Is propos-
ed TO be the brewers share Of the pros
perlty campaign" of 1896 BY getting their
broken rice in free, the brewers win be
able to keep down the price of hops; and
the rice planters may sell their crops for
the most they can get for them. The
brewers. Of course, in contributing to the
Mckinley campaign fund merely backed
their political opinions. But like other
republicans and protectionists. they de-
mand that they shall have a money re-
turn for their political opinions.

PERSONAL.

Leo XIII has decided to send to Queen
Victoria as a token of esteem appropriate
to her jubilee celebration a superb "sedia"
or portable chair. Its design is similar to
that of the one in which his holiness is ac-
customed to be borne in state on the occa-
sions when he is present at the great re-
hgious functions. This form of gift was
suggested by the necessity that might
arise, should the queen decide to enter
st. Pauls on commemoration day.
When the late President Grevy of
France visited picture gallery he in

chill fell on the group around him.

to the minister in attendance, observing
that there was something wrong. The lat
ter indicated by a gesture the eminent
conductor himself, whereupon Mr.. Grevy
putting on his air of rustic joviality and
cunning, stretched out his hand to the
painter and cried: I'm our country when
we are going to buy an article we run it
down" The apology was accepted, and
the presidential collection was enriched
by another masterpiece.
Black Hawk, the mighty chief of the
Winnebagoes, says an exchange, win visit
the Iowa state fair this summer, if his
health will permit. The chief is now 80
years old, and has not been in his Gus
tomary robust condition since he was
stricken with paralysis some time ago.
The aged warrior is the last of famous
line of fighters. He is nephew of the
original Black Hawk of the wars of 1892
and fought in the battle of Bad AK. When
the Indian forces were finally overthrow
on the shores of the big Mississippi the
young Sac warrior drifted northward
and soon became a noted hunter in the
land of the Winnebagoes. His prowess
and imperious ways soon made him the
absolute master of large band of the
tribe, over which he has ruled for many
years with an iron hand. He was present
at the great council of the tribes which
assembled on the return of the original
Black Hawk, The young chief openly ac-
cused his powerful uncle of cowardice
when he said that the white men were
as countless as the sands of the rivers.
When old Black Hawk dies he will leave
no heir. His only son was killed three
years ago in a fierce encounter with Jim
Swallow, a stalwart brave of the Winnie
bagoes. Black Hawk will be the chief
attraction at the Iowa state fair, in case
he is able to bear up under the unaccus-
toned journey.

The city extends a cordial welcome to
the Knights of Pythias who will assemble
within her gates to-day. On many streets
are flying 70 the breeze their colors Of
greeting. the blue, yellow and red of Ply
thanism and with them the American
flag. For three days viii the Knights be
with as; and they could nave the city for
as many weeks or longer. if they wanted
it. II has been some years since the Ply
thians honored Savannah with their state
convention; Savannah would be glad to

hospitality The banner Pythian city of
the state has made ample arrangement for
their reception and entertainment, and 1t
is the hope of one and all that every visi-
tor on departing will be able to say he had
the best time of his life.
But May week would not be complete
without its distlnctively military features.
The Avondale rifle range win be the scene
of some of the liveliest target contests the
state has ever known. Not even when the
boys were shooting in defense of home and
country did they draw more
careful aim than they will
gets are the enemy and victory and medals
the prizes. Teams from all parts of the
state will be here to contest with the Sa-
vannahians, whose reputation for good
shooting has become international. Sa-
vannah welcomes the military, too. She al
ways does. A military city herself, there
are none more than rihemen that she de-
lights to welcome.
Both of these functions will be honored
and given increased Importance by the
presence of Gov. w. Y. Atkinson, who
with members of his staff will review the
parading Pythians, and make an official
visit to the scene of the rifle contests. The
governor knows what a Savannah well
come is: he has experienced it more than
once and has always said he would be
glad to come again. Savannah will always
be glad to have him come.
While these stirring events are in pro-
gress. the Kings Daughters of Georgia
will be holding their state convention in
the lecture room of the Independent Pres
byterian church. They will review their
past work of charity, and with the aid of
their national corresponding secretary,
map out more noble work for the future.

ing feature. Altogether it will be one of
the most interesting weeks of the kind

He Had a conscience.

needs to be established in the office of a
railroad, yet letter received by B. l..
WincheI of the Union Pacific, Denver and
Gulf road recently indicates that such a
fund would receive additions of coin
from time to time. says the Denver
Times.
The letter, which is addressed to Mr..
Winchell as general passenger agent of
the Denver, Leadville and Gunnison rail-
road, reads as follows:
Dear Sir: About FIVE years ago, while

Accompanying the letter is a tract of
some religious society entitled "A
Prayer From He'll" The parable of
Larazus and the rich man is expounded
at length in the tract. The sender of
the letter Is mistaken in saying that 3
cents a mile is all that is necessary for
the transportation of passengers of local
roads in Colorado. The rate is 4 cents a
mile and the railroad is considering
seriously of sending to the delinquent
the bill for the other charges.
