HOW TO FIND OUT.

Fill bottle or common glass with urine
and let It stand twenty-four hours; a sed-
iment or settling indicates an unhealthy
condition of the kidneys. When urine
stains linen it is positive evidence of kid
ney trouble. Too frequent desire to urin-
ate, 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 swamp
Root, the great kidney remedy. fulfills
every wish IN relieving pain in the back,
kidneys, liver, bladder and every part of
the urinary passages. 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 unpleas-
ant necessity of being compelled to get up
many times during the night TO urinate.
The mild and the extraordinary effect OF
Sw5mp-Root Is soon realized. 1t stands
the highest for its wonderful cures of the
most distressing cases. If you need a med
iCine you should have the best. Sold by
druggists; price fifty cents and one dollar.

FIRST FIGHT REPRODUCTION.
New York Academy of Music Packed
to See COrbett Knocked
Ont.

New York, May 22-The instantaneous
Photographic reproduction of the Corbett-
Fitzsimmons fight was presented tonight
for the first time at the Academy of Mu-
sic. A large white cloth was stretched
across the proscenium arch and the figures
were presented thereon, life size. The acad-
emy was crowded to standing room and
those present saw an accurate reproduction
of the contest, marred somewhat by the un-
steady movement of the Photographic
plates. The chief interest centered in the
question as TO whether FitZsimmons fouled
Corhett in the last round while Corbett was
down. The presentation on the screen was
so vibrant and unsteady, however, that no
accurate judgment of this nice point could
be determined, particularly as FitZsimmons'
back was toward the camera when he
struck the fatal blow. The general opinion
was that no foul occurred. The spectators
after Corbett was pictured as down cried
out: Where was the foul? Where was the
foul?'
This was accompanied by shouts of
There was none! There was no FOUL"
