Cloudy, dark colored urine, with slight sediment, frequent calls but diminished quantity, indicates trouble in the kidneys. When these symptoms are present no time should be lost in adopting proper remedies. A little delay may prove very costly, perhaps fatal, because Bright's disease is so rapid and destructive. Prickly Ash Bitters has an esta blished reputation for curing the diseases that attack the kidneys. It heals and strengthens the kidneys so that they resume their urine gathering and blood cleansing functions, regulates the liver, stomach and bowels and quickly establishes a healthy body. It has cured cases of Bright's disease that has been prac ti- cally abandoned by the attending physician. Sold by F. c. Savage and Jackson Drug Go. ls-2t

Makes Gold.

E. G. Brice, who claims to have dis
covered process for converting crude
autimony into gold, declares that his
first experience with one ton of anti
mOuy have resulted in yield of pure
gold and silver, which on being as
saye d showed yield of 81 ,S91 in pure
metal.
Under more favorable auspices this
yield could, he claims, be incre ased :.
He consid ers his process an unqualified
success He said:
Briefly described, it as follows: My
first step is to prepare a certain in
gredieut the nature of which is a sec
ret. The second pat of the process is
the preparation of the antimony. Pure
antimopy is subjected to process of
distillation. One of the products of
this distillation is a vellowish sediment,
collected on sacks placed over the end
of q long chimney. This sediment is
mixed with the mysterious Ingredient
and the mixture placed into bricks. I
take these bricks and roast them in a
furnace, piled up volcano shaped. Now
comes the most beautiful part of the
whole process. The molten liquid is
poured into bone ash cupels and there
appears extraordinary rain bow-like
scintillations and iucandescent hues OF
every description. When this is over
the gold ore is left in the cupels. The
ore is next refined by the ordinary
commercial methods. 1 aim to pro-
duce gold precisely as nature forms it,
by volcanic action, and in my m miniature
volcano the same chemical reactions
take place as in Vesuvius."

David BLAIR, the four hoys who were

they all readily identified as Bell.
struck Vallie Drisklll about the head
when he ran few steps and fell
forward on his face The other man,
who was identified as Lee. struck j
McPherou three times and kicked
him once The rest of the evidence
introduced by the State was in the
nature of substantiasing the testi-
mony of the eye witnesses
The theory on which the defense
is conducted, SO far as the trial has
progressed, is that the blow received
Ivy young Driskill did not cause
death, and further that the prison
ers were trying to avoid a difficulty
with the boys. Drs Allen and
Truax, of Rich Hill, who held tn.
postmortem, testified that there wa,
no evidence either externally Or in
ternally that death had been cause
by violence. Death was due te
cerebral hemorrhage, which NIGH
have been caused by violent exertio1
or undue excitement. Medical ties
timony. as usual iu such cases, was
conflicting, as DR.. Renick. who a
coroner presided at the post mortem
and Dr. Boulware testified to a be
lief that the hemorrhage was pro
duced by blow
