We congratulate all of our citizens
who have been fortunate enough to
build during the past year of low
prices. Building material is advancing
every day. Iron, lumber and all sta
pies have advanced markedly in the
last thirty days, so that any one who
has built this year will save about 20
per cent. over those who build next
year. A penny saved is penny
earned. Verify the man who built this
summer has earned some money.

Ferris comedians opened up a

night to a packed house. The bill
was Creased Lightning" an uproar-

the action of which, many bright and

Judging from expressions of some
of the audience the company has
made decided hit which is usually
the best criterion of a cOmpany's
merit. In our opinion they deserve a
big house every night.

and dairy products have within year
increased in price from 5 to 13O per
cent, the average being about 80 per

price of silver has decreased about q
per cent. Where are the demagogues
who were last year telling the farmers
that the price of their products de-
pended upon the price of silver?

HOW TO FIND OUT.

Fill 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 positive
evidence Of kidney trouble. Too fire.
Guent 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 DR.. Kilmer's
Swamp Root, the great kidney rem
edY, fulflls every wish in relieving
pain in the back, kidneys, liver, bad
der and every part of the urinary pas
sages. 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 I'M
pleasant necessity of being compelled
to get up many times during the night
to urinate. The mild and the eXtraor-
binary effect of Swamp-Root is soon
realized. 1t stands the highest for its
wonderful cures of the most distressing
cases. If you need medicine you

The venerable Hebrew was born ir
Werbelau. Russia. At the age Of ~
years he married. Twenty-three years
ago his wife died. Weary of the old
world and its prosecutions lie turned to
America at the age of 90 years and
joined his relatives, many of whom had
settled in st. Louis. His six living chill.
dren are Abraham, st. Louis, aged 71

daughter, who succumbed to cholera in
Russia.
During all Of his remarkable career
lie has been i'll but once. When his
hundredtk birthday arrived lie was Gel.
cbrating it with many members of the
family tree, when he suddenly became
sick. a physician was summoned and
it was discovered that the centenariap
was cutting n tooth.
Greengard's strong and lasting ply.
sique was built up by a life of hard
labor at the blacksmith forge in his M.
tive town. He worked incessantly at
his trade from his apprentice days un.
til lie was 80 years old. He toiled every
day except Saturdays and holidays,
and it is related that at times he la.
bored in the shop far into the night.
Greengard attributes his remarkable
longevity to his equanimity. He never
allowed the crosses and Affections of
life to worry him, but philosophically
banisllcd all ARE from his mind and
went upon his way as If nothing had
occurred to mar his happiness. He was
kind to friends and good to his family,
and at all times serene and calm. no
matter what hardship fate had in store.
Another factor Which lie says helped
toprolonshi III life is abstemiousness. He
liked n drink of liquor after a hard
days work. but v took more than
one. Never in his life was lie known to
have been under its influence. He used
tobacco moderately by inhaling 1t
through the nostrils,a some people use
snuff, but never tried 1t in any other
form.
When asked what ten years of his
life were the lappiest the old man
