drifting South in numbers for the

HOW TO FIND OUT.

Fill bottle or common glass with
urine and let it stand twenty-four hours;
sediment or settling indicates an un-
healthy condition of the kidneys, When
urine stains linen it's 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 DR.. Kimer's
Swamp-Root the great kidney remedy

back, kidneys, liver, bladder and every
part OF the urinary passages. 1t cor
reefs inability to hold urine and scalding
pain in passing it. or bad effects follow
ing use of liquor, wine or beer, and over
comes that unpleasant necessity Of being
compelled to get up many times in the
night to urinate. The mild and the ex-
traordinarv effect of Swamp-Root is
realized. 1t stands the highest for it's
wonderful cures OF the most distressing
cases. If you need a medicine you should

Plant Of the Putnam Shoe Com
pany Burned Early This
Morning..

Berlin, Wis, Aug. 2S.-[Special. AT
2:30 o'clock this morning an alarm of
fire was sounded at the Putnam Shoe
company. By the time the fire depart
ment reached the scene the entire plant
was in 4 blaze. The firemen realized
that the building was doomed and they
concentrated their efforts in saving the
adjoining factories. At 5 o'clock the
fire was practically out, but the building
was completely Quilted. The surround
ing buildings were not damaged.
The Putnam factory was three-story
brick building, 100X40 feet, and located
on the river bank, a short distance from
Main street. 1t was in the heart of the
manufacturing district.
The company had been quite busy of
late with orders and almost a full force
was at work. The destruction of the
plant will be felt here as forty persons
will be thrown out of employment.
The loss on the building and stock is
placed at So. 900, although it may go as
high as $4,000. The insurance is $780,
600.
W. F. Putnam is manager and presi-
dent of the concern. He stated this
morning that there is little proba bility of
rebuilding, as business has not been suffi-
Gent to warrant it at present.

Gov. Scofield's Action i'm the Case
Of Firebug Robinson Not
Approved.

Kenosha, Wis, Aug. 26.-[Special.I i
Word has just been received from Gov.
Scofield by District Attorney Buckmaster
that the sentence of the court against
Isaac Robinson, one of the men who were
convicted of arson in the famous Chica-
go Bedding company case some two years
ago.. has been committed from five years
to three at Waupun.. The action was
taken by the governor without serving no.
tice upon the district attorney here, not
WithStanding the fact that, as Mr.. Buck
master claims, the governor had given
him a promise some time ago, that no
action would ever be- taken without due
notice to him.
Robinson is the one who actually
planned the fire which destroyed the Chi
cago Bedding company plant July 20
1895, and applied the torch himself
Shortly afterward Rosenow, an assistant
of ROOinsOn's, confessed his, part in 1t
and this frightened Robinson into telling
the actual truth. but not until the case
came to trial. Having confessed at last
}. V. Quares, on the part of the state,
asked that Robinson be given the mini
mum sentence, which would have been
three years. Judge Fish thought differ
emily, however and gave the fellow five
years. After the sentence was imposed
the authorities here were opposed to any
mitigation of it. Two or three attempts
have been made to secure a pardon for
him, but all proved unsuccessful.

CONFESSED TO ARSON.
Beaver Dam Man Says He Fired
a Barn in Order to Get
In Jail.

Juneau. Wis, Aug. 2S.-[Special.l j
William Ash, a Beaver Dam man, is in
the county Jail as a result of very pecul-
iar circumstances. Last Thursday the
barn of Andrew Willard of Beaver Dam
was destroyed by fire and there were I'M
mistakable signs of incendiary origin.
The fire took place in the forenoon and
on the afternoon of the same day Will
liam Ash, aged about % years. made his
appearance at the county Jail and request
ed the sheriff to lock him up. He said
he set fire to Wizards barn that forenoon
and had then walked over here to receive
punishment for his crime. He said he
hoped that the sheriff would prosecute
him to the full extent of the law
The sheriff placed Ash in Jail and at
once notified Mr. Willard and the Beaver
Dam authorities. 1t was at first sup
posed that the man was insane. but
medical examination showed him to be
of sound mind. When asked why he set
the fire, he replied that he had nothing
against Mr.. Willard and had no unfriend-
ly motive in setting the barn on fire. He
said he was distracted on account of be-
ing out of work for a long time, and on
the impulse of the moment committed the
crime. for the sole purpose of being sent
to prison, where he would at least receive
enough TO eat. No charge has as yet
been lodged against him. but the sheriff
still has him in custody.

Down with the Steamer
City Of Mexico.

Ashland, Wis, Aug. 27.-[Special.]-
The Gold Lake Mining company, at the
head of which is ex-Gov- Swineford, was
thrown into CONSERVATION this morning by
the news that 1000 pounds of valuab Die
gold ore belonging TO the company, went
down in the City of Mexico. 1t was not
known that the company's representative,
G. NJ. Archibald, had shipped it by that
boat until this morning
Mr.. Archibald shipped the gold and left
for richer diggings in the Klondike. Ciar-
ence Dennis, receiver of the United States
land Office at Ashland, will likely start
for Alaska to take charge and try to get
back the estimated value of the lost gold,
from the steamship company.

EMPLOY CHILD LABOR.
Many Factories Are Violating the Law
in the State.

Madison, Wis, Aug. 2S.-[Special.]-
Inspector ]. ]. Williams, who under the
direction of Labor Commissioner Erick-
son, is engaged in investigating the fac
tories and workshops of the state, recent
~ took a trip to points off the railroads,
in places where factories are located. to
see if there were not other places besides
the large cities where the child labor law
is being violated. He is now satisfied
that there are.
At Irvington, six miles from the rail
road at Menomonie, in the factory of the
Coffin Box and Lumber company, he
found eighteen boys. all of whom he was
satisfied were under ii years age, all at
work. Half a dozen of them claimed
TO be over the limit, but he was convinced
that they were not telling the truth and
ordered all discharged. In view of the
fact that in three Investigations of the
factories in Milwaukee the largest num-
Der Of children found working in all is re-
ported at fourteen, the inspector is salts
fed that it is a good idea to devote some
attention to the country districts.
